New Hampshire enjoys the distinction
of being the only known state in the
Union which has practiced the economy
In state administration which all the 9TH
ers have recognized as necessary but have
been unable to carry out. As result,
the state finds surplus on hand OF $50
GOO which is used TO retire large block
OF bonds, and next year it will be able TO
reduce the state tax by 81, 000-all be-
cause OF retrenchment in expenditure The
other states and the nation are engaged in
hunting for new sources OF revenue and
in increasing tax rates to meet the pro-
higacy Of incompetent legislative bodies.

Work of the Logmen Finished.

The last of the logs of the Connecticut
River Lumber company's drive were run
over the dam Wednesday morning, but
they were not through the falls until last
night. This morning the last struggling
ones in the eddy were cleared out, the
RATS built, supplies loaded on to them and
the tents struck, all disappearing down the
river by noon. About 30 of the men were
discharged here yesterday and paid off,
making an extremely good day for the local
merchants. There are only about 100 men
left to complete the run to Turner's Falls,
when about half of the remainder will be
dispensed with. The rise of water yester-
day, caused by the storm further north,
has assisted the men greatly in getting
away from here.

SUICIDE AT WHITINGHAM.



Merritt Hicks, who lived on the David
son place about mile from Nottingham
village, committed suicide Sunday noon.
1t is thought temporary insanity from the
too frequent use of strong drink was the
cause. Sunday morning he seemed
anxious to have his wife leave the house.
Finally he asked her to 60 out and pick
him some strawberries, as he had eaten
nothing since Friday night. Mrs. Hicks
took her pail and proceeded to do his bid
ding.
When but a little way from the house
she was startled by the report Of a revolv-
er. She FASTENED back to the house, went
to the bedroom window, looked in and
saw the lifeless corpse of her husband
stretched on the bed. He used 32-cali-
bre revolver and shot through his temple.
The ball entered the brain killing him in
stantly. Mr. Hicks was the son of VIII
liam Hicks of Whitingham and was about
so years of age. The funeral was held
Tuesday.
