The healthfulnem Of bicycle riding for
women IL still disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
That the wheel has created revolution
in the lives and manners Of modern women
cannot be doubted. Used in moderation it
surely creates for women means of outdoor
exercise, the benefit of which all physicians
conceds. Used to excess, like any other
pastime, its effect is likely to be dangerous
to a high degree.
No better illustration of this can be offered
than the case of Miss Bertha Reed, the
seventee en- -year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. X. Reed, 1886 Lake Street, Delaware, Ohio.
In describing her daughters experience
Mrs. Reed says: "In the fall of 1896 my
daughters health began to fail in an alarm
ing manner. 1t was evident that she was
over.e1erting herself by riding her wheel.
We put it away for time to see il health
would return with rest and quiet; but, to our
encouragement and disappointment, she be-
came worse and grew steadily paler and
thinner until we concluded she must have
consumption, and we sent her to a physician
for consultation. He told her that her lungs
were in a sound condition.
However. he found that her pulse regis.
tered one hundred and four beats per min.
ute, and il actually remained at that mum.
Der for two weeks.
1.-THE doctor said that her condition was
due to an almost bloodless condition of the
body, so that the heart had to beat so much
more rapidly to supply the wants of the body
Ny daughter had lost her appetite, and could
not take sufficient food to nourish the system.

which was procured and dose given. By
this time she had become so weak that we
almost gave her up.

Nearly IO3 Years Old.

Mrs Emelye Grinelle of Colchester is
probably the oldest person in the state.
She will be 1913 years old if she lives until
July g. Mrs. Grinelle was born in Ben
nington and has spent much of her life in
Georgia. Five years ago she moved to
Colchester where she makes her home with
a granddaughter. She has two children,
one of whom is over So The 1O3 years of
her life rest with wonderful lightness on
Mrs, Grinelle's shoulders. She is well pre-
served, enjoys good health, and can both
see and hear we'll. She crochets lace with
as much skill as many a younger person
Mrs Grinelle takes great interest in cur
rent events, particularly news of the war.
Her home is within a mile of Fort Ethan
Allen and among the troops garrisoned
there she has many friends.

Small Holdings and Diversity of Crops.


For several years prices have, quite gen.
orally, been unTemunerative and produc-
ton consequently limited. Farmers have
refrained from hiring help and have con-
tented themselves with what could be pro-
duced by the family. l know of no farm
that is yielding to its fullest capacity; yet
some are producing more than twice as
much per acre as adjoining farms equally
good.
To illustrate: A farm of 200 acres, 100
of which are improved, receiving careful
treatment and above the average condition
of farms in the vicinity, has cash income
of from 5000 to 500 yearly as the result
of the work of two men. An adjoining
farm of 40 acres, with the same labor, av-
erages about $500. A "rlver'' farm of 4C
acres, with little more work, gives about
$1,000.
Small holdings, diversity of crops, and
profitable prices will more than double ouI
production without any increase in the
area of improved land. France, with nint
times our population to the square mile,
produced over eight bushels of wheat pei
capita for the five years ending with 1897
| Our production for the same period wai
little more than seven bushels per capita

Heirs of John Thomas Wanted.

Chief of Police Tutte of Montpelier has
received letter of inquiry from parties in
Yuma, Arizona, asking about the heirs of
John Thomas, wealthy ranchman, resid-
ing in Arizona, who died in December,
1898. His heirs reside in Vermont and a
good sized fortune awaits them if they can
be found. The letter is signed by Elliot
Stewart of Yuma, Ari., who has been re-
quested by the probate court to endeavor
to find the legal heirs. Thomas made will
in favor of one John Speere, not having
recognized any of his relatives, thus max
ing the will easy to contest. The amount
of the property is not known, but Mr..
Stewart states that it consists of a ranch
stocked with horses and cattle. He writes
that he is unable to state what part of Yer
mont Thomas's heirs reside in, but is posi-
tive they are in some part of the state. He
was great lover of horses, but is not well
spoken of. He served term in the peni-
Tertiary for horse or cattle stealing. He
left his home some 20 or 20 years ago,
having stole some sheep from an uncle

THE VERMONT NEWS.
High Water Caused Damage.

part of the Mill of the Dalton Power
Company Near Lunenburg Swept
Avay---Bravery of Rivermen.
The high water of last week caused $4,000
=, 10000 damage to the plant of the Dal-
t,n Power company at the big dam recently
completed at the Fifteen Mile Falls in the
connecticut river near Lunenburg. The
ovners are George II. Fitzgerald and his
san. f. II. Fitzgerald, E. NJ. Bartlett and
Porter Dale of Island Pond. The cost of
the dam was $4,000 Three terrific
crashes aroused the people living near the
dam Thursday night, and the moonlight
showed a scene of destruction on the Yer
mont side.
The advance guard of an immense log
drive on its way to McIndoe had dug away
the foundation around the bulkhead on one
end of which the mill rested, causing the
pier to settle four or five feet. The heavy
steel racks were like clay against this
mighty advance of the elements, and with
a crash they parted, and the waters had a
clear field against the lower half of the
mill
The huge wheel, costing over $1,000, was
tossed like a rubber ball into the seething,
foamiug mass; the boiler joined the wheel
in its mad career. Two and three inch
planking was torn out clearly, and por-
ton of the mill 64x22 feet, hung over the
raging torrent without any visible means
of support and with a downward projec-
ton that presaged its ruin in less than an
hour. The railroad track, for distance
Of fully 500 feet, and its accompanying
land. fully 100 feet in width, disappeared
like magic.
Cables and ropes were attached to the
MILL and the ingenuity of man prevailed
over the strength of nature, the undam-
aged portion of the mill being saved.
Half dozen rivermen performed feat
that called for the strongest nerves and
the utmost courage. With every expecta-
ton of the mill being dashed away at any
minute, and with nothing but a narrow
plank between the building and the settled
bulkhead, these brave fellows succeeded
in casting heavy log across the interven-
Ing space and successfully guying the mill

THE BEEF REPORT.
Severe Censure for Major Gen
eral Miles,

The Enormous Purchase OF Canned
Roast Beefa Colossal Error for which
There Is No PallIatIOn.
The findings of the Wade court of in
quiry appointed to investigate the charges
made by Maj. Gen. Miles, that the beef
supplied to the army during the war with
Spain was unfit for use of the troops, were
made public Sunday. In brief, the board
finds that the evidence was insufficient to
sustain the charge of chemical treatment
of beef, but that the canned roast beef was
not fit ration for the army in the man
ner and extent to which it was supplied.
The enormous purchase of this article by
the commissary department is described as
"a colossal error, for which there is no
palliation." The failure of Gen. Miles and
other officers to promptly report to the
war department the defects in the rations
is criticised 1t is recommended that for
the good of the service no further proceed
ings should be taken.

Mrs. James Watson, wife of Station
Agent Watson of the Boston & Maine rail

a fire in their house Tuesday noon that
death resulted within two hours. One of
their children, an infant, also suffered
from the effects of the fire and smoke, but

near the station. The fire was the result
of a gasoline stove explosion. Mrs. Wat
sons clothing was ignited almost instantly,
and she and the child were only rescued
after the front door had been smashed in
by neighbors. The woman was taken from
the house with her clothing blazing. The
clothing was quickly torn from her and a
quilt provided. Four doctors were sum
moned, but she lived only two hours. She
was formerly Flora Remission of Barton
and was 30 years old. The house was CON
siderably damaged by the fire.

pletes it's through line to the West This
is the last in the series of purchases which
will enable the Rutland to take freight at
Chicago or any lake port and transport it
to the eastern market Upon the compile
ton of the Rutland Canadian road, which
the Rutland is building between Burlington
and Rouses Point, freight from the lakes
and the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain
railroad can be delivered to the Rutland

or south. The Rutland will have the
shortest rail line and the longest water line
into New England from the West.
Several hundred men are at work along
the line of the Rutland Canadian. The
physical condition of the Ogdensburg and
Lake Champlain is being rapidly improved.
Eighty pound rails are being laid, some %
