A Bicycle Thief.

F. 0. Moore went to the office of the
Moor. & Thompson Paper Co., about l
o'clock Saturday night and left his bicycle
on the outside near the door. When he came
out Is minutes later the wheel was gone.
About 2 o'clock Chief Thompson found
Arthur Norrington, colored lad abont
twenty years old, sleeping off drunk near
the depot. The lost wheel was nearby.
At hearing Monday morning before c.
H. Williams Norrington pleaded guilty to
petty larceny and was given three months
in the House of Correction. He said that
bis mother lives in Westminster and his
father at Claremont Junction. Dur
ing the past month he worked on q
farm for Rowe Pierce in Walpole. When
asked where he got his whiskey he said.
"Where they have it to SELL" This was a
lucid explanation which seemed satisfac-
tory to all.

The New Milk COMPANY.

During the past two or three weeks con-
siderable has been said in the newspapers
regarding the organization of a new milk |
company, competitor to the Boston Dairy |
company, which for several years has been
taking what milk from this section finds its |
way to Boston. The Boston company
does not do as large business from this
station as formerly, but still handles good
quantity Of milk. Two cars used to start
from Bellows Falls daily; now there is one,
and one car starts from Middlebury.
Some new company has been organized
with headquarters in Boston, but it seems
misty formation about which the best in
formed do not talk very inteligibly
Nearly 5000 has been collected of the
farmers in Rockingam and Westminster
and sent to New York as advance payment
on stock. This same thing has been done
over a large part OF New England. 1t is
reported that back Of this company there
is $4,000, 900, but who is in the company,
or where the company is, nobody up this
way seems to know. However car is
promised October 1, and four cents per can
will be added to the price. 1t is possible
that everything will be running according
to program by October 1, but as good
authority as the New England Farmer
seems to be in doubt. This paper says
"So far as any wealthy syndicate Of New
York capitalists is concerned we have no
evidence that it does not exist; number
of straws point that way. But we can fine
no evidence Of the existence of any bust
ness movement up to this time-that it has
made arrangements to lease single car
buy a single milk can, to provide for any
receiving station in the city, or that it ha
made any proportion to the present con
tractors. In about three weeks it will bt
time, under the old regime, for the mill
producers union to begin to figure on th'
winter price of milk, and in about tbre'
weeks will be the time for the annual con
ference OF producers and contractors
Large bodies move slowly, but it would
seem to stand to reason that big syndi
cate which was going to corral the Bosto1
business, reduce it to system, stopping
leaks which now exist, and introduce NOR
economical methods of distribution, hat
rather scant time to perfect all the details
SO as to be ready to begin business on tn
first of October"

Lowest Since 1892.

The water in Minard's Pond, which sup
plies the village with water, is now very
low owing to the great drouth this sum
mer. During the last three weeks it has
fallen Is IL inches, an average Of four and
one-half inches week. The pond is now
a foot and eight inches lower than it was
last year at this time, and several inches
lower than it has been since 1892. When
asked if there was danger of the supply
being exhausted, Water Commissioner
Moore answered that he thought there wa,
little danger of that, but said that great
economy would be necessary unless we had
rain soon. This explains why the public
has been requested to refrain from using
the water for the purpose Of watering gar
dens and lawns.

AS
FAN FAN
+. IN
TWO

The attraction at the Bellowsl Fails
opera house on August 26th will be the
successful melodrama, "Two Little Va
grants
While possessing all the heart thrilling
pathos and soul-stirring excitement OF the
modern French drama, it is completely
devoid OF morbid emotional features too
frequent in most melodramas Of the pre-
sent decade. The story begins and ends
strongly. A uniformity OF dramatic power
and skill is apparent from the first scene to
the last, no situation or climax falling into
commonplace or insignifcance, and each
action without the slightest exaggeration.
The realistic features Of the play are
enhanced by admirable scenic effects,
which are duplicates Of the European pro-
duction. The beautiful and impressive
character of Fan Fan is in the keeping Of
Miss Mildred Holland, whose acting is
described as superlatively good.
In the cast are Neva Harrison, Barbara
Douglas, Anna Bodden, Bengie Harrison,
Eleanor Worthington, Katharine Vincent,
Arthur Cogliser, Frederic Douglas, Del
La Barre, Walter Cooke, Harry W. Col
Inns, W. H. Weber and others.

Read This and Keep 1t In Mind.

The coming recreation ground Of New
England is Lake Sunapee, and every one
who visits this richly endowed gem Of
a lake is charmed with the ever changing
and beautiful surrounding that are there.
Though not as large lake as some in
New England, it is navigable in every
nook and opening SO that the several
steamers that ply over its surface can make
landings at numerous places. The pleasure
grounds are delightful places, and one may
have pleasurable time at any one of
them.
The Sunday excursions to Lake Sunapee
that the Boston q Maine railroad runs
from various points are popular affairs at
popular prices, and the one that leaves
from Bellows Falls on Sunday, August
9th, at $50 A. M, is always pronounced
success. The price is $1.25 for the round
trip.
Upon arrival of the tram at Lake Sun
apee station the steamer will be in waiting
to convey tourists to the various points on
the lake. This will be the last excursion
of the season.

reason the merchant is careful whom he
trusts. Again, many self-respeeting peo-
pie have become hopelessly in debt, through
no fault OF their own, who could not obtain
a discharge under the old law because Of
the lack of sufficient assets. Under the
new law they can throw off the burden and
at the same time maintain their self.respect
1t has been suggested that no discharge be
granted to bankrupt unless his bankrupt
cy comes about through acts performed in
good faith. Another suggestion is that a
bankrupt be discharged only by vote of
at least three-fourths of his creditors. Va
rious other remedial measures have been
suggested, and it is probable that some of
them will be adopted rather than repeal the
present law and allow the old chaotic con-
ditions to again btain.-Springfeld Re-

A Suggestion.

A suggestion is very simple thing to
make. 1t costs nothing and requires no
superior intellectual qualifications. A
couple of newspapers on the west side Of
the state have been suggesting, but the
suggestion would have greater force if
there were fewer candidates. Here is
the suggestion given in whisper:
General Grout has served in the lower
house 16 years, and in the main his serv-
ices have been satisfactory to his constitu-
ency and to the state at large. The
experience of SO many years of value to
the state, should have bearing upon
his candidacy, and when we consider
the favor in which he has been held by his
constituents it must be conceded that his
chances must be at least equal to any man
in the state who has had no experience,
and other things being equal, much more
valuable to the state. Allowing that Mr..
Dillingham; is bis equal every other way,
be lacks experience, which will count
against him in this trial of strength. The
Journal would therefore modestly suggest
the name of the Hon. W. P. Dillingham;
for member Of congress from the second
district to succeed Mr.. Grout. He is pop
ular in his district and in the state for that
matter; in so doing he will leave the field
clear for Gen. Grout for senator and have
the hearty and enthusiastic support of Mr..
CIRCUITS friends in his behalf. oultney
Journal.
This is splendid suggestion. 1t would
serve not only to put the strongest man
available in the senatorial chair temporarily
occupied by Judge Ross, but it would pro-
vide worthy successor to Congressman
Grout and straighten out lot of political
tangles in the second district. This pro-
gram could hardly be improved. Rutland

A correspondent Of the Washington
Post gives the following appalling ty-
phoid statistics: Every year i'll the
United states 100000 people are sick
with typhoid fever. Forty thousand Of
them die. They are sick 2S days on an
average out Of every 3Gj days Thus
we have 1l,200. 600 days of sickness
from this disease.
Every case Of this sickness means one
month, generally two months, Of idle
ness. If the wages of the patient are
only 90 cents day, there is loss Of
$l5 month. Generally this sickness
means a loss Of wages in two months
time Of 800 OF $50 The average loss Of
wages for six weeks would be $50. Add
70 this the Doctors bill. which is any
whore from 500 to $lO0-we will say
500. If the patent lives in the city and
has a trained nurse for only three weeks,
there is another s45. Ten dollars for
the prepared food, ice, milk, etc,
brings this moderate bill up to Si65.
Multiply this by the number Of people
sick. and we can see every year in the
United States $4,000. 600 lost to pa
tents by the inroads Of this cue disease.
