Marlboro Merchants
Moving Out.
STRIKE HAS DONE 1T
One Firm Has Already
Come to Worcester.

What may be the beginning of a gem
eral exodus of the business men Of
Marlboro from that city owing to the
severe effect Of the strike upon the con-
dftion of trade, has begun.
Yesterday, Carter & Co., well known
clothiers of that city, who have long
enjoyed a local reputation as a leading
gents furnishing house, secured a loca-
ton in Worcester, and will move their
stock in trade to this city at once. A
location has been secured on Main
street. and yesterday Mr. Carter, the
senior member of the firm was busily
engaged in making the preliminary ar
engagements for the transfer.
1t was given out authortatively yes
terday that this same action is being
most seriously contemplated by other
prominent business men Of Marlboro.
The reason assigned by Mr.. Carter for
the change is the depression of trade
in the shoe city and the dun business as
result of the strike. Throughout the
clash between the shoe companies and
the strikers, the merchants Of the city
have extended every favor and aid
within their power to the boot and shoe
workers and now in consequence of
their philanthropy, many are preparing
to flee the town, owing to the stagna-
ton in commercial circles, and the un-
certainty pervading the situation which
Is worse than all.
The merchants Of the city have found
collections very slow, and all who have
had accounts with the people of the
town have been unable to realize at all
upon them, the question whether they
viii ever secure payment depending
entirely upon the question when the
strike will'be declared off by one side or

Simply because they had the right to

What the people Of the state of Utah
need Is missionaries. People who can
take the children and educate them in
the straight and narrow path. The
Mormon is person who is never in the
wrong by his own confession, q fact
which is illustrated by the following
anecdote:
A Mormon teacher wrote on the
board the words, "A trip to the moon"
spelling trip with two ps. A bright
little boy said: rs that the right way
to spell trip?" The teacher looked and
said: why, yes, when we speak Of a

about eight pounds in weight. Accordingly.
1t has been decided to cross the ouananiche
with the salmon, and for this purpose
10000 salmon eggs have been impregnated
with the milt of the ouananiche and
the fertilization Of the ova is understood
to have been successfully plished.
The young Ash are to be liberated In Lake

larger specimens than the ouananiche now
not there will be any natural increase from
these fish. for SONS naturalists contend that
mules or hybrids do not breed. and never occur
naturally. In that case the new fish will have
to be perpotuated by constant additions OF the
peculiar product OF the hatchery.
1t was at one time proposed to achieve the
object now aimed st By crossing the o~uananiche
with the land looked salmon of the Sebago
lakes. This idea was abandoned because 1t
was feared that the. product would partake of
the less game qualities OF the Maine fish. which
are rarely surface feeders and usually taken

audience that filled the opera hous,
Friday and though all the players
were home people seldom indeed dc
professional troopes DO as we'll. The
close attention and abundant applause
testified to the appreciation of those
present. OF course the actors were
hampered in some things, the lovers
for instance had to kiss off in the ali
about six inches for fear of offending
somebody in the audience. But tina,
did not hinder making it an artistic
production. Henry Lifts as the
tramp who rises victorious was very
clever; c. $. Crawford, heavy villain,
was duly vindictiye; viii Teeters,
the lucky lover and defender Of the
faith, took his part well; G. 4. Rugh,
the digniiied colonel, was all right,
while M. H. Malott, with his
versatile humor and specialities
was of course favorite. Miss Maude
Eames, as usual, made a hit, taking
the part of the handsome but giddy
servant girl; Mrs. Henry Lifts, the
daughter Of the household, had diff
cult part and won deserved applause,
and Mrs. +. b. Bearce, as Mrs. Lee,

DEATH BY ACCIDENT.
J. n. Slemmer. Well Known in Dick.
inson. Strangely Killed.

A few days ago we noted the death
Of j. H. Slemmer, formerly of South
Dickinson but late of Eureka, at bis
new home. The details have Just
been received. Mr.. Slemmer was
standing in a stall in front Of one
Of his horses, pushing hay down in
the Manager when another horse
reached over the stall partition and
bit the animal that was being fed.
The latter plunged forward, catching
Mr.. Slemmer between its breast and
the Manager. 1t was a great shock
but at first no serious results were
feared, Mr.. Slemmer walked to the
house and thought little soreness
would be the extent Of his injury.
Later. however, there were unfavor-
able symptoms that indicated the
possibility Of an internal rupture. A
doctor from Kansas City was sum-
moned to consult with the attend
ing physician. Mr.. Slemmer grew
worse and died before the physician
could reach his bedside. A post
norton examination was made which
indicated that death was due to the
nervous shock, the blow having fall.
en- on the solar plexus.
Mr. Slemmer was a resident of
Ridge township for many years and
was we'll known by nearly all the
people of South Dickinson. He leaves
two sisters and brother, the latter
