The story of the killing of boy from
the Monson state primary school by a
Dummerston farmer with whom he
was living some 2S years ago and the lat
ters recent confession were much dis
cussed in BrattlebOro recently and
several Dummerston men recalled the'eX-
element caused by the disappearance of
the boy. According to the recollection
of a neighbOr the boy was about IL
years old, and was in the habit Of going
to the barn to sleep while not at work.
One day the farmer came to dinner, and
in answer as to the whereabouts of
Timothy the man replied to his wife that
the boy was all right. His disappear
ance was never accounted for satisfac-
torily until the farmer contided his
secret to Bratteboro lawyer and one
of his neighbors. There are old residents
of Dummerston who remember the story
and who believe the boy was killed by
the farmer in fit of anger. They also
report the mysterious disappearance of
one GlynE, who lived at the same place
in Dummerston, some years before the
boy and who disappeared as suddenly.
A former Dummerston resident in speak
ing of the tragedy recently said he well
remembered the disappearance of the
boy, and recalled the fact that the sus-
pected farmer about that time burned a
charcoal kiln, it being the first and
last kiln burned on the farm, the theory
advanced that the body of Timothy was
consumed in the kiln. The farmer is
said to be an eccentric and violent dis
positioned man, who told the story OF
the death of the boy to ease his con-
science. The farmers wife first COM
mtted suicide.-News.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.


The butter market has developed stcadier
and more confident tone. Buyers have been
around in larger numbers the past two days
and both fresh and held grades are moving
more freely than last week. The situation i'm
New YORK ann the West has improved, and
the outlook for the remainder of the year is
quite encouraging. There Is no great activity,
nor any desire to respond to higher rates, but
receipts are cleaning up more closely and the
Accommodations of the past few weeks are be
ing taken by exporters to some extent. This
latter feature comes just in time to put the
market in a healthy condition before the
close of the year.
There was fair demand yesterday for
choice fresh creamery at % to 20is cents for
large tubs, and 81 cents for assorted sizes.
This covered Western and Northern makes.
Occasional fancy lots in small packages
could not be bought under PIX cents, but
these were distributed around to customers
in Il small way. Most receivers said that it
took n fine article to bring 81 cents in trade
lots, and that good many invoices sent here
as fine were not worth over 20 TO 2lls cents.
cents.
The cheese market maintains strong tone
and, although buyers are not operating to
great extent holders are not urging business
except at very full prices Sales to the trade
have been mostly at lO4 to l02l cents, with
occasional fancy twins mt IL cents. Some
holders refuse to sell their best late under l
cents, and are awaiting results with conf
dehce. Favorable advices continue to be re-
ceieVed from England, where the stock is
smaller than usual at the close of the year.
There was fair demand for eggs yester-
day, with sales of choice fresh Michigan and
Northern Indiana and ohio at ~ to % cents,
and special marks at 20 to y cents. Ordinary
Western, - to % cents. Eastern fresh sold at
% to y cents and fancy new laid Mt higher
rate.
Receipts of poultry are steadily increasing,
and prices are easier. Western turkeys sold
at II to l3 cents, but it was doubtful II any
more would bring over II cents per pound.
Northern turkeys were quoted Mt l3 to II
cents but, with the large quantities of West
ern expected, it may not be safe to count on
much more for Northern than for Western
Chickens and fowls are in large supply, and
are being put away for n better market. The
indications are that poultry of all kinds Will
be plentiful for Christmas trade.

WON'T BE RATIFIED.
Senator Hoar and Senator Hale Oppose
the Peace Treaty with Spain.

Senator Hoar and Senator Hale Oppose
the Peace Treaty with Spain.
Washington, Dec. 12-"If we take the
Philippines under the treaty of peace,
the downfall of the American republic
will date from the administration Of
William Mckinley"
These are the words of Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts,,
81 am not quite prepared to discuss
this grea. question exclusively at this
moment" added Mr.. Hoar, "but l am
getting ready to do so. The subject will
be before the senate soon and when 1t
does come before us In the proper way |
imagine ! shall have some observations
to make" and Mr.. Hoar smiled grimly
as he gazed, apparently, into the future.
81 see," he continued, THAT our am
bassadors expect to sail for home on the
18th inst. If this be true they should be
back in time to submit the treaty to the
president, so that 1t may reach the senate
Immediately after the holiday recess"
"Will it be finally disposed of at this
season."
81 believe SO there is little reason for
withholding it or postponing its consid-
Grafton until another session. The oppO-
nents of the treaty will not be less vigor-
Gus at the next session than at present,
and what ground is there for assuming
that its friends will be any greater in
number or any more jealous in its be-
half?"
"Will the treaty be ratified?"
81 think not" Mr.. Hoar replied, after
moments consideration of his words,
and with a quiet emphasis that could
not be disguised, particularly if its pro-
visions are such as we are led to believe
by the dispatches from Paris"
One of the important matters under
consideration is the question of discuss
ing the forthcoming treaty in open ses-
sion.
The first test will come on such vote.
No treaty of peace has ever been dis
cussed in open session. The nearest ap-
proach to it was the debate on the fish
cries treaty with Great Britain, which,
after being considered in secret for some
time, was brought into the open and de-
bated for several weeks.
Messrs. Hoar and Hale and those who
support them believe that with an open
session the speeches that will be made
against the treaty will so educate the
country that there will be a universal de.
mand for a change in its terms.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear, There is on
ly one way to cure deafness, and that is by

by an inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachlan tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have "a rumhling sound or
Imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Two POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWERED.


What is the use of making better ar
ticle than your competitor if you can not
get a better price for it?
Ans.--As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass Judgement on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
