1t seems to me that its tendency is in
the opposite direction. If the Dingley
bill has not produced all the revenue
that its advocates expected it is on &C.
count of the fact that manufacturing
has been so enormously developed that
we have to great extent ceased to i'm
port manufactured goods and have be-
come exporters of them. There are no
duties on exports. In few years if we
continue to progress by leaps and
bounds, as we have done, very little
revenue will be derived from customs
under our present laws. Then our
code will have to be revised. Under
the Mckinley bill the cry was every.
thing is too high; under the Wilson bill
in 1896 the cry was things are too
cheap. Are things too high, or too

\ Twelve-Year-Old Boy Confesses to Taking
Big Money.
An unusually interesting case of 1.-THE
snfulness of sin" came before the public
last Monday. Last Thursday William
kinsley, q well known resident of this
place, lost a pOcketbook containing fifty
dollars, and all efforts to find the same
had proved unavaillng. 1t was known
by police that a few small boys in town
were spending considerable more money
than seemed consistent with the wages
paid one of them by NJ. :. Carr, and
Monday morning Policemen Cushman and
Jackson rounded up the gang and took
them before Justice .. p. Moore for the
purpose of ascertaining where the money
came from. At first the boys strongly
denied having any money other than
what had been paid them by their en-
ployer. They produced between four
and five dollars in silver. each, and
declared that was the sum total in their
possession. Mr.. Carr was called in and
with his free and easy manner soon con-
WINGED Fred and Rollo Fredette that they
must have overdrawn their account
slightly, and it was not long before they
produced from their pockets SID each
The question of Mr. Kinsley's loss fell
aside and the police, after catching
their breath. started on another line of
Investigation. 1t soon appeared that
Fred, the younger of the Fredette boys,
who has made his home at Mrs. Silas
Cars near the Cornwall line for the
past three or four years, had been help
ing himself to money for some time,
and finally as his needs increased had
taken 1920 at one time out of private
box belonging TO Mrs. Carr, and of
which she supposed no one but himself
knew anything. a complaint was made
out and Fred Fredette, Rollo Fredette
and boy by the name of Porter, new
conner in town, who acknowledged
having had some of the money, were
brought before Justice Moore for
hearing. The younger lad protected
his companions by pleading guilty. and
was sentenced to the Reform school at
Nergennes until the December term of
the county court Officer jackson took
the boy to Vergennes Tuesday afternoon.
While practically the whole amount
of money lost was recovered in this in
stance, it does not happen so once in a
thousand, and Mrs. Cars experience
was therefore cheaply bought No large
sum of money is likely to be kept in that
household in futue

For retail advertising it is better to be
very definite. Separate one article from
another, and exhibit the particular feat
ures which you regard as of special
merit. There are always some qualities
in an article which you can set forth to
advantage in an advertisement. 1t is
we'll to make point of showing in what
particulars they are specially adapted for
purchase now. and there is invariably
something you can say about them that
applies to your goods and to no others in
town. 1t is quite possible to give your
goods an individuality which will dis
tinguish them from your competitors,
and recommend them to the needs and
desires of purchasers.-Art in Advertise

abandoned their resistance and hava
scattered through the forests. where it
is useless for the troops to pursue
them. On his return trip from the ISL
and, Gen. Bacon reports that no hostile
Indians were seen and all along shore
white flags were flying. indicating a
general desire on the part of the reds
to be counted out of the trouble.
Gen. Bacon and his men arrived here
shortly after noon, tired out with their
long fight against. the Pillagers and
showing the effects OF exposure and
scanty food, but in the best of spirits
and willing to fight Indians whenever
and wherever they might be found. All
of the detachment supported the asser-
tions of the officers tnat at no time
had they been in danger of destruction.
though those who were through the
Cuban campaign were willing to admit
that the brush with the Indians was
about as hot as anything that took
place before Santiago, and that the
day and night spent on Bear island
was about as trying is the time in the
trenches before the affair of Ell Caney.
MEN ARE BITTER.
The men are exceedingly bitter in
their feeling toward the Indians. Their
wrath was aroused by the first cow
ardly volley, and it was not cooled by
the death Of Maj. Wilkinson and the
men who fell before the bullets from
the Winchesters. No one who talks
with any of the brave band who stood
off the outlaws on the island can doubt
that the men of the Third are hoping
that the affair last a little longer, and
that the affair will last a lit
tie longer, and that they may
be able to boast on their re-
turn home Of the evangelizing Of a
number Of untutored savages. The In
terest of the day has been divided be-
tween the return of the heroes from
Bear island and the interest in the
conference held this afternoon at the
reservation between Indian Agent Suth-
erland and the Chippewa chiefs In it's
direct bearing on the Pillager outbreak
the conference had no very important
effect and was not expected to have.
The other Indians are not in position
new to surrender the outlaws, even If
they desired to do so, and they are not
very likely to go to securing the woods
for the fugitive outlaws. The confer
ence was important largely for its
bearing upon the question Of a general
Indian uprising in the Northwest, ru-
mors of which have been rife from the
time that the Bear island braves went
on the war path. On this point the
assembled Indians. were emphatic. They
declared positively that they had no
intention of taking UP the quarrel of
the bad Pillagerss and they reiterated
in several varieties ,of Chippewa their
determination to remain loyal to the

WASHINGTON, Oct 7.-Reports re-

the interior departments from the In

that the uprising may be regarded as
