The dedication of Rudyard Kip
ling's "Captains Courageous" which is
now being issued in book form, is to DR..
James Conland of Brattleboro, VT, a
physician and warm personal friend of
the Kiplngs, with whom he is in constant
correspondent When Nj. Kiplng
went abroad year ago he proposed re-
turning by this time, says the Boston
Globe, but press of work has thus far
prevented, and his palatlal house, four
miles out from the village of Brattleboro,
is occupied only by caretaker, who
keeps 1t in readiness for the return of the
family at any time. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Kipling are naturally fond of their Yer
mont home, situated as it is back among
the hills, and with an outlook of 80 miles
over forests which at this season of the
year are glorious in the beauty of the
foliage, and to Monadnock which rises
clearly defined in the far east. One of
the most charming rooms in his house is
the den, as Mr.. Kipling calls it, which is
tastefully furnished with rugs and pic
lures and reminders of his East Indian
life, and where, during the winter sea-
son, when the thermometer is often
times 20 degrees below zero outside, but
summer-like inside, he draws inspiration
for much of which he writes, in the
society of his wife and little children, to
whom he is passionately devoted.

Last Saturday. in the municipal court
at Bennington, Charles Stiles and Sam.
uel Castle of Bondville pleaded gully to
an assault on Milie Williams in that vii
lage September 10, when he was tarred
and fcathered and rode on Il rail for re-
peated visits to house of unsavory rep
utation. Two witnesses on each side
were examined to fix the degree of guilt
for which the two respondents should be
fined. The testimony of Williams was
very much against him, in testifylng
that he had served four years in the
state prison for various crimes. The
court, after stating that like offences
we're rare in the old state of Vermont
and that communities or mobs had no
right to take the law or administer JUS
tice in their own behalf, even on an eX-
convict. fined the two, including costs,
S14S.2S. Five others who were sub
pmned as witnesses were arrested as ac-
cessories. The cases of two were nolle
pressed and three were discharged upon
payment of costs incurred, 81 0G in each
case. The fines and costs were all paid
before the respondents left the court
Williams now announces that he will
bring private damages against each OF
the convicted parties and that the end is
not vet.

THE BELLS OF MIDOLEBuRY.


Concerning All of Them.
The first and oldest bell in town is one
that has for nearly or quite a hundred
wears called the citizens of the county to
witness the impending fate of life or
death, freedom or slavery, Imprisonment
and financial loss or gain. The first
court house was built in 1706, and it is
supposed the bell now in use was pur-
chased before 1900
The first college bell no doubt was pur-
chased soon after the college commenced.
John +. Pierce, born on the college
grounds in 1905, said it was in use at his
earliest recollection. Its weight was ll3
pounds, and it was broken and recast in
1917 with one of 1872 pounds. This was
recaSt i'm 1919 by j. Hanks of Watervllet
n. Y. The latter was placed in the
graded school building, and in 1874 was
broken and replaced with one weighing
420 pounds, which is now in use.
The next bell whose sharp tones were
more familiar to the citizens of the vii
lage, having been rung several times a
day for many years, was placed on the
cotton factory, which was built in 1871,
and remained there until the fire of 1891.
The first bell of the ngregational
church was placed in 1881, and first rung
/ y
EIoratio Seymour, on the 9TH day of June.
After twenty years service it was broken
and replaced in 1871 with one weighing
400 pounds, made by Meneelv of Troy.
J he bell of the Episcopal church was
purchased in Boston by Lebens Harris,
Nov. 30, 1885, with money raised by sub
scription. Its weight is 9l4 pounds and
cost S23G.
The bell in College chapel was placed
in 1886, the same year the chapel was
built. Deacon Ira Aliens bill for frame
and hanging was $43.67.
The bell in the Methodist church was
purchased in 1867 and burned in 1892.
The Catholic church has steel bell,
which has been in use about twenty
years.
The largest bell in town is in the town
hall. 1t was made by Meneely, weighs
l $50 pounds, and cost S4l9.25.
The bell that calls our antiquarian to
dinner is in part made of a bell cast by
Paul Revere for a church in New Haven,
of the Methodist church bell, the cotton
factory bell and locomotive bell of the
BEooksville collision.

AuuiSOn county III lhe supreme court.
Supreme court convened at Montpelier
on Tuesday. The following Addison
county cases have been set for trial at
this term: James w. Thomas VS.. Betsey
f. Leland, apt, and trustees, ]. w.
Hatch vs.. +. w. Gage, apt, State vs..
Stephen HallOck. In the case of Arthur
w. IIaskins vs.. Chester Il. Hawkins and
Richard Preston the Judgment of the
county court is affirmed. The first and
only case argued in court Tuesday was
from Addison county, James w. Thomas
VS.. Betsey p. Leland and trustee. This
WAS an action of assumpsit in which the
plaintiff as collector of taxes of lhe town
of Salisbury sought to recover taxes
claimed to be due from the defendant.
The defendant claims that the defendant
was not dOmicled in Salisbury at the
time the town tax was voted nor at the
time of the making of the grand list.
That the assess ment was not lawfully
made and that she was not notified Of her
list. She further claims that the vote of
the town was irregular and that the as
sessment of the town tax was void, being
left to the selectmen to fix the amount.
The case was referred to w. ii. Bliss to
be heard and tried in March. 1896. His
report was filed Dec. ,, 1896, on which
Judgment pro fOrma and without hearing
was rendered for the defendant to which
plaintiff excepted. Exceptions allowed

AN IDAHO SAPPHIRE.
A Stone of Rare Size and Purity
Found in Placer Diggings.

An Idaho man engaged in placer
mining walked into the Miners bureau
yesterday. says the Denver Republican.
and after looking around a few minutes
stepped up to George Taylor's gem
counter and. pulling out a piece Of a
blue crystal. asked Mr.. Taylor if he
knew what il was. Mr.. Taylor nearly
lost his breath as he recognized the
fact that it was a sapphire of the pur-
est water and the largest he had ever
seen. The gem was nearly cube, be-
ing about one and one-half inches
thick, one and one-half inches wide
and two inches long. 1t was much
water worn, showing plainly the pebbly
conformation gradually assumed by
gems found in the beds of mountain
torrents, the edges being very much
rounded.
This is the first sapphire of any size
discovered in Idaho. They are fire.
quently found in Montana, and some
very fine stones have come from there.
The owner of this stone is operating
placer mines in Idaho and the stone
was found in the tailinss and preserved
on account of its bright blue color.
News of the find reached New York
and an agent of Tiffany. after examin-
ing the stone. offered $500 for it. The
owner decided that if it was worth that
in the rough it was probably worth
much more and is now on his way to
London, where he expects to realize its
full value.
The stone is almost perfect, the only
blemish being a fracture on one side.
extending less than one-eighth of an
inch into the stone. Mr.. Taylor. who
has a long experience in handling gems
says that in his opinion it is the largest
known sapphire in the world, the
weight being 20S carats. Sapphires are
valued according to their purity, per-
fectly clear gems bringing high prices,
like that of diamonds, being increased
per carat in proportion to the weight
of the stone.

In the matter of the petition of Colonel
]. w. Donnellan for the appointment of
guardian for his son Kenneth Donnellan
protest was filed by D. H. Peery. jr..
H. S. Joseph and R. L. Colburn in which
the protestants declare that Kenneth
Donnellan is justly indebted TO them in
various sums which are past due and
which Were incurred when the young man
was fully competent to transact business
They deny that Kenneth is incompetent
and affirm that he is entirely able to
transact business and to attend 10 his
own affairs and aver that he is possessed
or considerable property, but not SUI
ficient to pay all his debts and further
that he is indebted to the National Bank
of the Republic and that Ed. w. Duncan

Duncan is appointed guardian Kenneth
Donnellan's entire estate will be used to
pay what he owes to the bank and SUCH
other creditors as Mr.. Duncan may choose
TO prefer and these protestants and other
creditors will recover nothing, therefore
they pray that the petition be dismissed.

stricken from the files for the reasons
that the DroteStants are not proper par

pearing in or filing papers in the case
To begin with Judge Hiles granted the
motion to strike out and the protest was
eliminated from the case. Then Colonel
Donnellan took the stand in support of
his original petition and testified that
when his son was a boy he was subject
to fits and that he was morally irresponsi-
BILE since he was Is years of age and was
altogether incapable of taking care of
himself. He had incurred liabilities TO the
amount of 5000 or $1,000 which the wit
ness had had to pay.
E L. Sheets gave evidence as to the
mental condition of the young man
which in substance corresponded with
that given by Colonel Donnellan. Sheets
also testified that Kenneth had fire.
