RECORD AT MONTPELIER.
Gen. Peck has ReSlgned-COupOn
Bill Signed by the GOvernOr-Mil-
liOnaire Tax Bill Knocked Out.
Montpelier, Wednesday Noon.

Montpelier, Wednesday Noon.
Dear EDITOR:
1t would be easier to tell what hasn't
than what has been done by this wild and
apparently thoughtless body since Monday
noon. 1t has to large extent run wild,
only slowing up little for shaky bridges
and reverse curves. That the whole outfit
hasn't been ditched dozen times is only
explainable by the overshadowing law which
watches over certain people and their &C.
tions.
have all along maintained the capacity
of the General Assembly for self-govern-
ment, if not the capacity to govern the state
wisely and well, but some recent exhibit
tions have caused my faith to waver. The
exhibition of gross incompetency Tuesday
afternoon by which half-day's valuable
time was lost in senseless argument and
more ridiculous discussion OF non-essentlals
may have been only such lapse from COM
mon sense as we are all guilty of at times,
but it was certainly shameful exhibition
Of incompetency.
The discussion was over the bill which
had come from the senate abolishing the
office OF Adjutant and Inspector General,
and suspending the National Guard for two
wears, and the way the subject was handled
was sight for the gods. After about four
hour, wandering in the desert the whole
bill was final killed and the result is that
both the Guard and General Peck will stay
with us under exactly the same laws which
have heretofore operated.
The bill making city of certain sections
of Bennington went through the house all
sert ne, but when it came to the senate 1t
ran against trouble which proved fatal. 1t
appeared before the senate committee that
the promoters of the bill were very far
from being agreed on what the charter
ought TO contain ,and-with the strong oppo-
sition which developed from the citz4ns of
Bennington Centre-the committee thought
they had better take two years more to get
together in, and so the bill was knocked
out.
The house surprised itself and the world
at large Tuesday evening by passing with
out word OF opposition the senate bill
D, oyiding for board of agriculture to con-
list OF the governor and president of the ag-
ricultural cole Sc ex-offlcio ana three men,
bers. This in face of the fact that Tuesday
forer Don the opposition to the board in the
house had tackled ''rider" on to the reg
uar appropriation bill providing that no
part OF The sums thus appropriated should
be used for the purpose of supporting the
board or any of its work. This would of
course kill the board, as, if the senate
agreed to it, it would leave the board with
out funds TO do business. On the other
hand, if the senate refused the appropria-

No Coupons After February 1.

The bill giving the cath blow to trad
ing stamps and coupons in Vermont has
been signed by the governor and is now
law. 1t takes effect February l next.
Here is the text of the law mo person
or company shall, in the sale, exchange or
disposition Of any property, give or de-
liver in connection Herewith, or in con-
sideration of said sale, exchange or dis
position, any stamp, coupon or other de-
vice which entities the purchaser or re-
ceiver of said property, or any other per-
son, to demand or receive from any per-
son or company, other than the person
making said sale, exchange or disposition,
any other property than that actually sold
or exchanged; and no person or company
other than the person SO selling or dispos-
ing OF property shall deliver any goods,
wares or merchandise upon the presenta-
tion of such stamp, coupon or device. Any
person or company who violates any pro-
vision of the foregoing section shall for
each offense be punished by fine of not less
than twenty nor more than five hundred
dollars"
Those having stamp or coupon boo k
must have them filled and must present
them before February 1 for after that date
the companies cannot honor the books
without making themselves liable under
the law. 1t will be noticed that this law
does not interfere with any merchants
running stamp or coupon scheme Of his
own; the words ''other than the person
making said SALE" is the saving clause.
WILL MAKE A STAND.
Since writing the above the following
has been learned: A representative Of the
Merchants Coupon association was ii
town Thursday and made arrangements tc
continue business in Bellows Falls notwith.
standing the law which recently passed the
legislature. This company has contracts
with the local merchants to do business fol
one year and the year does not end until
August. The new law does not forbid q
merchants running coupon scheme of hi
own and giving away his own premiums
The law draws the line on merchants
giving coupons which demand premiums a
the hands of another person or company
This company proposes to get out OF the
difficulty in this way: The coupons giyer
out will bear the names of the merchants
giving them. The premiums will be KEPT
in N. A. Wheeler's drug store as hereto
fore, but after February l, the merchants
will own the premiums and Mr.. Wheeler
will be their agent and not the agent O
the-company. In other words the mer
chants who give out the coupons of THU
company will be in a sort of co-partner
ship, they will be the ones giving the
premiums instead OF, the company as now
and Mr.. Wheeler will be in their employ
1t is understood that this will be the modu
operandious the entire state. Whethe
the plan works remains to be seen.
The Traders Supply company propose
to get out OF the state by February 1, and
say that an effort will be made to redeem
all the stamps possible before that time.

Mrs. George Ellis Has An Expert
ence With a Burglar.
TRIES TO ENTER HER ROOM


Mrs. George W Ellis, proprietress OF The
Lutz house. on Jefferson street. between
Fourth and Fifth avenues. shot twice at
i masked burglar who attempted 10 IN
ter her sleeping apartments yesterday
morning. about o'clock. At the first
shot the burglar fell out Of the window
with groan. but recovering, ran away.
Mrs. Ellis shot at him again and he COM
menced TO limp. She IS positive he was
wounded in the body once and thinks he
was also hit in The leg.
Mrs. Ellis sleeps in apartments which
are separated from the hotel proper ~
a board walk. Her bedroom is separated
from the sitting room by curtains. She
Is a light sleeper and was awakened by
the sound of the curtain OF window in
tho sitting room brushing against some
papers on a table. She got out OF bed
quietly without alarming her daughter
Olive, aged II years VINO sleeps with her.
and stepped UP behind The portieTes. Then
she saw tn II "a burglar was II work rails
ing the window.
She got her pistol from under her pill
low. and stepping behind The o,tiere yait-
ed developments. She was not more thaa
four feet from the window. and when she
saw a masked burglars head and shout
ders enter the room she aimed the pistol
at him and fired.
With a sroan the burglar fell back out
Of the win1ow on the hoard walk. bu; n
moment later spra1g up and ran nor-h
along the walk. Mrs Ellis then quickly
unlocked the door. which was between
the portieIe and window. and stepping out.
fired again at the retreating figure. II
kept on running. but limped badly after
the second shot The shooting caused
considerable excitement in the ueighhor-
hood, but Mrs. Ellis took matters coolly
and went back 10 bad. About o'clock IN
the morning she SEM word 10 police head
quarters concerning what had happened.
Detective Powers inspected the premises
and ta,ked with Mis-. Ellis. No traces
Of bleed were found. hut the detectives
think this is due to the small size of the
wound was undoubtedly in the body. IN
der these circumstances the burglars
clothes would absorb the blood 1t is also
thought that the JOB was attempted by
a man who knew that Mrs. Ellis son
Ralph was away for the night
An examination of tine different win
dows shows that an attempt was made
70 raise others than the one through
which entrance was effected
Mrs. Ellis is little woman, with dark
complexion and pretty dark eyes. She
would be the last person in the world that
burglar would expect to greet him with
powder ard ball. Her courage was shown
by the fact that after the first shot she
unlocked the door and expressed her sea-
timers again.
