THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The Drift of Politics as Reflected by
the Newspapers of the State.
A Good Word For Plumlev,

In the second district the present
indications are that but few candidates
will be in the field. but it is not i'm.
possible that what lacks in quantity
of candidates will be made up in the
quality of the fight.
Hon Frank Plumley from Washing
ton county seems to be generally con-
sidered by shrewd politicians as strong
candidate, although he has not thus
far burdened the voters with the an
nouncement of his intentions in the
coming convass. In Windham county
Col. Kittridge Haskins and Hon. l..
M. Read announced their respective
candidacy some time since. We be-
lleve, however, that it is not improb-
able that MIR. Read may withdraw,
although it is understood that he is
promised considerable support from
the southern section of the state. Mr..
Read recognizes that a hot contest is
certain and political fight is hardly
to his taste, although he has demon
Strated himself good fighter when
he buckles on his armor.
Hon. w. p. Stafford of Caledonia
county has been encouraged by few
friends located principally
at his former home in Barre, to an
nouncc himself a candidate, but thus
far he has not seemed to meet with
much encouragement.
In the event of the withdrawal of
Mr.. Read the contest will probably he
between Washington and Windham
county gentlemen, both of whom
have many warm friends, and both of
whom have wide acquaintance with
men and intelligent ideas of the needs
If Vermont; and we may add both are
good lighters. News.

Corn never was better in the West
than it is this year.
Eat more corn bread and less hot

Don't leave your horses standing on

This has been a poor year for apples
in New England. Even the old reia-
bic, iron clad seedlings growing along
the roadside are taking rest, and
therefore the crop of cider is short.
Where are your plows, cultivators,
rakes and other tools that you have
been using during the summer: The
meadow and the back lot are not the
best places to store them. You know
what to do with them. All you need
is little jogging.
Clear out your cutters and bitches
before it freezes up. Grass. leaves
and loose soil have been accumulatino
in the bitches all summer and shOuld
be cleaned out SO as to allow all SUI
face water to run off after the ground
freezes. Standing water does more
harm in the winter than in the sum-
mer to many pieces of land.
This is good time to collect dry
dust for the chickens to dust in dur

MYSTERIOUS DEATHS.
Sudden Demises Cause Excitement
in Baxter County, Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK (Ark.), Jan. 49,
over mysterious deaths which have oc-
CURED in the vicinity of Mountain
Home, the county seat, within the last
few days. No less than six men, all
of whom were apparently in robust
health, have been suddenly stricken,
and died within a very short time after
the attack. In every case there were
unmistakable symptoms of poisoning.
Besides those who have died a number
of others have recently become i'll, and
their lives were saved only by prompt
medical attendance.
Last week four men died in different
places i'm almost exactly the same man
ner, showing the same symptoms. One
of these men was farmer named Ho-
gan and. the other DR.. Simpson, a ply
sician at Mountain Home. The names
of the other two are not obtainable
here. On Friday E. L. Hayes, propri-
etor of hotel at Buffalo, died in the
same sudden and mysterious manner.
A few miles away John Fout, another
prominent citizen, passed away at the
same time, under exactly similar cir
cumstances. Both men were in appar-
emily the best of health. Suddenly they
grew faint, their faces turned deathly
pale, their legs weakened under them,
they fell to the ground, and in a few
minutes they were dead.
A strange feature of this series Of
mysterious deaths is that in every case
the victim has been male person
either a man or a boy over 16 years.
his led to the belief in the minds of
some people that systematic effort
was being made in some mysterious
way to rid the community of at least
large portion of its male population,
and that the agency employed was
some powerful poison. Some men be-
came SO frightened that they refused
to eat or drink anything until they
were out of the neighborhOod.
Hardly day has passed for more
than a week which has failed to bring
to light it's new case of poisoning, and
the physicians have kept their horses
standing sadd1ed in their stalls, ex-
pecting emergency calls at any hour.
An investigation revealed the fact
that Hayes and Fout, as we'll as one
or two others who had died in a SINH
lar manner, had been attacked shortly
d1leT VIS1tllS MOuuldlu I1OliAC rOtilC1
victims had also been seen in Mountain
Home just prior to their sudden illness.
On further investigation it developed
that the victim had in all cases taken
a drink of whisky shortly before the
attack This discovery seemed to set
tie the fact that poisonous whisky was
the cause of the deaths, but there is
no saloon at Mountain Home, and the
source from which the whisky comes is
a mystery. 1t is thought that blind
tiger" is dispensing poison for whisky,
but whether it be through ignorance
or with a murderous intent is not
known, and this doubt has added to
the excitement. A bottle containing
a small quantity Of the stuff has been
sent to st. Louis for an expert exanin-
alton. No one seems to know where It
came from, and a determined effort is
being made to discover who is respons-
ible.

tai controls nine-tenths of all the in
dustrial enterprises in the group.
Good opportunities seem to me
abundant for dealing in hardwoods.
The islands are dense with the choicest
of mahogany, ironwood, camphorwood
and many other varieties Of hard
woods capable of taking high polish.
Two primitive sawmills supply the ma
tive lumber trade. They have been
amply able to meet the demand so far,
because the demand is confined to the
needs of the European residents of
Manila. The natives build exclusively
of bamboo and thatch. The oppor
tunitieS in the lumber industry will not
be found in the demands for lumber
here, but rather in the export trale
to America and Europe AS an Illus
tration. Of the kind Of mahogany OBJ
tainabIe here it will be sufficient to ex-
plain that all the palaces, cathedrals
and public buildings in Manila are
floored, where wood is used at all in
place of tiles, with mahogany boards
thirty inches wide and twenty feet
long. These are the uniform dimen-
sions. The boards were hewn by ma
tives out of the rough logs and pei
ished with cocoanut oil until they shine
like ebony Heavy joists a foot square
are likewise hewn and polished.
The camphorwood also. grows here
in profusion, and, next to mahogany,
is The wood most generally in use in
making furniture. Many of the ma
tive are adopts at carving. Some of
the palaces and cathedrals in Manila
have images carved in mahogany and
other hardwoods which can hardly be
surpassed in granite or marble by the
sculptors of any country.
This is not a fruit or vegetable coun-
try. The climate is too hot and damp
for their cultivation Bananas grow
we'll, but they are small and taste fiat
and pasty. The Philippine orange is
two inches or so in diameter. The fiber
is coarse, the peeling thick and the
juice has a flavor much like spoiled
vinegar seeped through sawdust.
The coffee industry here never has
been developed to any extent. Euro
peans who have tried it declare that
coffee can be successfully cultivated
only in a few of the mountain regions,
particularly favored by comparatively
dry currents of air.
But a supreme consideration to be
kept in mind by intending investors is
the enervating influence of the climate.
Here, in LuZon, the climatic conditions
are more favorable than in the south
ern islands. The thermometer is rarely
below so degrees and generally below
80. The high humidity of the atmos-
phere increases the oppressivenesS OF
tho heat, and ultimately brings on
languor and Incidence that render men,
especially white men, incapable of per-
forming more than half the amount of
work that they do in the temperate
zones.
