ton of this position To claim 9th
erwise is of course to assert that La
noble County is an exceptionalfeld,
and we know of nothing to warrant
such assertion. Indeed, it is a
matter of record that in 1886 the
only bank in Lamoille County was
compelled to reduce its capital from
$15O,000 to 100000 because it
could not loan its money, Why?
Simply because the people felt no
safety in entering upon any enter
prise requiring banking assistance
for the reason that the bank felt no
moral obligation resting upon it to
take care of those enterprises during
times of monetary stringency and
when financial aid was consequently
absolutely essential. But when the
business enterprises of Lamoille
County came to know that money
on good security could always boob
tanned at the Lamoille County Say
ings Bank and Trust Co. with as
much certainty as corn or -four
could be had at Chicago they
branched out into enterprises which
have made the villages of Lamoille
County noteworthy for their enter
prise and thrift. The$1O0,O 0Obank-
ing capital of Lamoille County in
1886 has continued to grow until to-
day the assets of the two banks in
the little village of Hyde Park-the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. and the Lamoille County
National Bank-aggregate $685.
1926.
The unlimited confidence of the
people of Northern Vermont in this
institution is shown by the fact that
during the panics of '93 to '96, while
a large majority of the banks of Yer
mont were making considerable loss
es in their deposits, this bank contin-
ued to grow, never for once failing to
show an increase in deposits at the
end of each semi-annual period. We
think we voice the sentiments of ev-
cry industry of this locality, as well
as of the citizens of our county
as a whole, when we extend
to this bank and its managers our
most sincere and hearty congratulate
tions upon reaching its tenth ami
versary with such an exceptionally
fine record.
That this bank may continue
through its second decade, as it has
through its first, pillar of strength
upon which the business men of La
noble County with all their varied
industries and enterprises may con
tinue to rest, with fullest assurance
that they are not leaning upon q
weak or unreliable support, is, we
are sure, the universal sentiment Of

a Drunken Row.

There was drunken row at Bun
dy's place opposite the depot Mon
day evening. Sheriff Stevens was
called to quiet affairs and arrested
Scion Brown of this town and Henry
Dudley of Morristown. They we're
put in Jail and Tuesday morning
we're brought before Justice Strong.
States Attorney Thompson was on
hand and conducted the prosecution.
Brown was arraigned first. He plead
guilty to intoXication and on being
sworn said among other things that
he resided in Hyde Park, coming here
about three years ago from Canada;
had been pulled" for fighting in
Canada and had been arrested here
once before for stealing. On Monday
in the forenoon he carried his friend,
Harry Dudley, from his (Brown's)
place to Cady's Falls, where the lat
ter works for Joe Stewart. On the
way they visited Morrisville, where
they got some beer at the
MorrisviIIe brewery, drank two
bottles each; "out where | came
from they call it lager BEER
then drank liquor two or three times
under Munsons shed; Dudley got it.
Took Dudley to Stewards and Joe
not being at home went to Bundy's;
had some beer; went up to HYDE
Park, where We bought a bottle of
DeWltt's Bitters at drug store.
Went down to Bundy's where we got
liquor and beer; Bundy mixed it.
AT this time Dudley had some words
with Alonzo Yaw (brother-in-law of
Bundy) and Yaw struck Dudley over
the head with chair. All then piled
on to Dudley and Brown came to the
rescue, and was taking his friends
part when the Sheriff appeared.
Fined $500 and costs.
Dudley was then brought in and
he also plead guilty. He said he had
been arrested before, once in Barton
for getting hot" and again at ISL
and Pond for same trouble. Had
some beer got at the brewery in Nor
risvlle-" such beer as they have all
around drank two or three bot
ties. Went to Munson's shed; drank
there; don't know where we got the
liquor. IA telephone inquiry showed
that he bought pint OF alcohol at
the Morrisville agency) Then went
to Bundy's and then to Hyde Park,
got some hitters at drug store
there. Went to Bundy's again to-
wards night had more beer; had
some high wines reduced and mixed
with beer. Got into a dispute with
Yaw and was struck. Fined $500
and costs.
The truthfulness of the testimony
of these two parties is seriously
doubted by many, in fact, it is
thought that as pervaricators of the
truth they cannot be excelled.
On the strength of the above pa
pers were issued against Nelson Bun
dy for selling liquor. He was arrest
ed and brought before Justice Strong
Tuesday afternoon. He plead mot
guilty" and demanded trial. Case
set for 10 a. M. Thursday.
Papers were also issued on Alonzo
Yaw for assault and breach OF the
peace. He was arrested and trial
took place Tuesday afternoon. The
States Attorney appeared for the
State and Capt. Waite for respond
ent. Yaw lives in Lowell and was
visiting his sister, Mrs. Bundy, at the
time ofthe ARRAY. Heclaims he struck
Dudley in self defense and not until
he had been hit by him, Bundy and
wife also claim the same. They state
that Yaw was first attacked by both
Dudley and Brown. BE this as it
may, Dudley received a fearful blow

Venus and Saturn. Jupiter is we'll on
his way to the meridian, and lower
down Venus shines with dazzling ra-
dance. Dull and red and inconspic-
uous among other stars, Saturn
glimmers in the east. Highin mid
heaven hangs the great triangle
formed by Arcturus, Spica and Dene-
bola, and the big dipper, as Ursa
Major is COMMONLY called, is near
the zenith.
Far in the north is the splendid
constellation of Cassiopeia, and in the
northwest blazes beautiful Capella
and her three kids Many other
stars of the first magnitude are also

The Exact Status of Cuba.

We are not annexing Cuba at pres
emit. Cuba has ceased to be a Span,
ish colonial possession, whether the
Senate rati6es the treaty of Paris or
not, but it has not become an Amer
lean possessioD-still less an Ameri-
can territory. 1t is alien territory, a
foreign country occupied for the time
being by American troops, and ad-
ministered for the time being by mill
tary agents of the President of the
United States, for certain distinctly
defined purposes of which annexation
is not one. This is the present state
of affairs, and it is reasonably sure
to continue for years to come. The
solution Of the problem of the ulti-
mate political future OF Cuba is the
goth century's affair. Meanwhile
Cuba is no more a part of the Ameri-
can Union, throughout which 1.-THE
constitution says all duties, imports
and excuses shall be uniform, than
Jamaica is. It remains a foreign
country, and the ratification of the
treaty by the Senate would leave it a
foreign country.-Hartford Courant

American cannot bear to see so much
power wasted at Niagara Falls. A
company has just been organized for
developing $4,000 horse power in
an electrical station at the whirlpool
rapids. The plan is to cut an cleo
trical railroad, diverting a part of
the water from the whirlpool channel.
Very many who have visited the falls
think the whirlpool rapids even
grander and more majestic than the
falls themselves. 1t would be a sac
rilege to destroy, or even iujure, what
is recognized as one of the greatest
