An investigation shows that in twelve
years the expenses of the state of Con-
necticut have increased nearly 60 per cent.
1t is probable, if the facts were known,
that this great increase is by no means
peculiar to Connections. This is time
Of large expenditures in municipalities,
states and nation. Maine is no excep-
tion. The people with schemes-and the
word is. not used in any disparaging
sense-are too skillful for the municipal
and state legislators who are for econo-
my. The Maine legislature is beset every
session by requests for appropriations
for many objects, each worthy in it's
way, but not really proper object of
state aid. Then there is the small army
of officials, each wanting his salary to
be raised and each furnished with good
arguments to show that the salary is too
small-arguments which he overlooked
entirely, however, when he sought the
office.

YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.
DR.. Henry w. sawtelle, formerly of Por.
land, Speaks of Conditions in Atlanta.

DR.. Benry ". Sawtelle, of the United
States Hospital Service, who WAS formerly
stationed here and who is a native OF
Maine is now on duty at Atlanta, and
finds his position there responsible and
important one on account Of the yellow
fever in the South. He is acting as the
representative of Sergeon General Wy
man. The Atlanta Constitution quotes
DR.. Sawtelle as follows in regard to the
situation:
II came to Atlanta on orders of the
surgeon general for the purpose of
ascertaiping the exact condition here. /
have for several years been located at
New Orleans, but having never had yell
low fever myself, was sent to the infected
districts. I had just left New Orleans
on my vacation and had been gone only
day or two when the outbreak occurred
''You ask me about the condition here
in Atlanta, the system of inspection and
the general precautions which have been
taken to prevent any cases being brough t
here. In word, don't hesitate to give
the Atlanta situation, as / might term
it, my Endorsement. In my reports to the
surgeon general 1 have gone quite fully
into conditions and have shown the
unlikelihood of the dread disease getting
anything like II foothold here.
''Do you think that it is possible for q
case to get in here2"
"Of course it is possible for case tc
come in. Experts sdisagree about fever
and no one can make diagnosis of &
suspected case with absolute certainty
| No physician can make such diagnosis
OF case of typhoid fever with ab,olutt
certainty unless he is able to make al
examination of the blood or has patient
under observation for several days. Th.
same thing is true of smallpox. On,
feature of the present outbreak is tha
| these cases of yellow fever resem biz
deDgue very closely. Take the OoeaI
| Springs case for instance. They had beer

from different states as boing dengue
| When | left New Orleans an outbreak O.
| yellow fever was unsuspected because il
had been determined according to the
diagnosis of these physicians that those
cases were dengue.

Sagasta, the leader of the Liberal party
In Spain, takes very gloomy and de-
cidedly pessimistic view Of affairs in that
country. To his view tho Instructions
in Cuba and the Philippines are spread
ing; the conservative party weighed in
the balance is found wanting; the Carlist
propaganda dangerous in the extreme.
But whittier shall Spain turn? It is
doubtful, under the peculiar conditions
obtaining, if the needed relief would come
from the Liberals, for nowhere on that
portion of the earth, where civilization
is supposed to find home, can there be
found more corruption and incompetency
than exists in Spain today.

Nearly every paper reader pc
ruses, there is noted I'D it's columns
an article, that parties have been de
frauded in buying goods from ped
dIers or at auction. It seems strange
to an impartial person how people
will patronize irresponsible dealers
in any kind OF goods. Peddlers and
their class go about the country Of
fering goods of the poorest quality,
which they represent are equal to
your home merchants at very low
price. In every instance these goods
are found to be very low grade,
such as you could not be persuaded
to purchase of a home dealer at any
figure. These travelling merchants,
obtain the cash, get out of the coun-
try and purchasers have no redress,
while if the purchase is made of your
merchant and if the article is not sat-
isfactory it cansbe changed. Ped
dlers onl y pay a small license: they
pay no taxes for the maintenance of
public institutions, do not assist in
promoting churches, schools, good
roads. nor any thing else that is for
the public benefit. They do not take
the farmers produce nor will they
give credit at any time. To patron
ize peddlers or auctions, is. using
your influence, financially and other
wise against every reputable mer-
chant in the community. It is earn
estly hoped that every reader of this
piece will consider the unwise policy
of encouraging peddlers or their
class by patronizing them and stand
by our. home merchants by giving
them your whloes ssuppo or, and they
will show their appreciation in many

Obituary..

UlED.-2rS. b. >. Holmes, aged rs i
years, died at the residence of her
son, D. G. Holmes, on her birthday
January 2l, 1897. -.
Her death was due to old age but
was probably hastened by fall she
received in the fall of 1895, when one !.
Of the bones of her hip was broken
and another injured. Since this time
she has been an invalid and medical
aid was unable to effect a cure. She
took up her residence here in Sept
1896, after her injuries. Through all
her suffering she remained very cheer
ful. The remains were taken to Iowa
City last week, Saturday, accompan-t
led by her son.
The following from the Daily Iowa
City Republican,:
THE funeral of the late Mrs. B. s.
Holmes, which took place yesterday
from the residence of her brother,
Hon. FL. ". Lath1op, reminds us that
the ranks of the old settlers are being
constantly and rapidly depleted"
She died at the residence of her
Oldest son, Dewitt c., at Worthing-
ton. linn., on her seventy-sixth birth
day anniversary. She was born in
! Massachusetts, but her p2rents mi.
grated to Central New York during
the first year of her infancy: and she
there grew to womanhoCd.
Before her marriage her husband,
as stone cutter, came to Iowa City
to work at his trade in building the
new state capitol. Work on it being
suspended during the winter 1912,
he returned to New York, where they
were married the following spring,
when they came to Iowa City, and he
was engaged upon the capitol until
it's walls were completed, his last
work on the structure being the
dressing the cap stone of the pilaster
on the south east corner Of the build
ing.
i Mrs. Holmes became an early mem
Der of the New School Presbyterian
church, before the old stone church
edifce, that was occupied by that Or
ganization was built. On the forma-
tion of Congregational church, she be-
came one of its charter members. "
She will be remembered by the old
settlers for her upright Christian char
acter, her genial disposition, her cheer
full temperament and her kindly acts
to all in need, that came within the
circle of her influence.

TRIAL OF MARTIN THORN
Mrs. Mack Was Not Put on th.
Stand

NEW YORK, Nov. 26-Lawvers
howe and Moss, who have diligently de-
tended Martin Thorn, met to-day with
a serious and unlocked for obstacle
when after brief adjournment District
Attorney Youngs Informed the court
that the people rested their case.
1t was generally expected that Mrs.
Mack would be put on the stand to re-
iterate her confession, and the LAWYERS
who had been assigned to look after
Thorn's interests thought that she would
repeat her statement of two weeks ago.
Later in the afternoon District At
torney Youngs said that he was not
prepared to say whether Mrs. Mack
who had made such a famous scene in
the first trial by her confession, would
be produced or not. The case, as far as
the District Attorneys opinion went,
was fully proved without the woman s
testimony. Later on, however, one of
Mr.. Youngs' advisers said that in
case that the defense put Thorn on the
stand, the prosecution would certainly
produce Mrs. Mack in rebuttal.

PRINCETON Qnd), Nov. 26.-The
nineteen prisoners confined in the Giu-

This morning the men declared they

upon him, and was about to carry out
their threat, when the posse rescued the
Sheriff. A fierce fight then occurred be-

was beaten almost into insensibility,
and then thrown into a cell. When the
prisoners saw their leader worsted they
