Judge E. @. Novels expects to
leave for Indiana tomorrow for the
purpose of interesting the people of
that state in the advantages of Prov
ers county as place for investment
and As a good place to live. As the
Judge is a good talker and has a
country that will back up anything
he can tell about it, it stands to
reason that he will accomplish what
he goes for.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. L. Morehouse,
having settled themselves comfort
ably in their elegant and spacious
new home Just north Of town, cele-
brated the event by giving q recep-
ton to their friends last Thursday
evening. Twenty couples were pres
ent, and the ease with which they
were entertained was in marked con-
trast to the old days Of Lamar when
half dozen couples meant a crowded
house. Progressive euchre and other
games were much enjoyed by all of
the guests until a late hour, when
dainty refreshments were served, and
as the guests departed all pronounced
it one of the most delightful social
affairs in the history of Lamar, and
wished Mr.. and Mrs. Morehouse
:nany years of happiness in their
new home.
Last Wednesday evening, by the
Rev Robt d. Graham, Mr.. John
Duncan and Miss Clara Freye Mil.
linger were united in marriage. The
ceremony took place at Holly at the
home of the bride, and quite large
number of invited guests attended.
After the couple had been duly con.
graduated music invited those Inclin-
ed to dance, and between times some
of the guests sang songs. Then fol-
lowed a dainty wedding supper, dur
ing which and afterwards the conver
sation was merry. A large number
of presents testified the friendship of
the givers. The couple took a short
wedding trip to Pueblo. Mr.. and
Mrs. Duncan are we'll known to very
many of Prowers county people and
host of good wishes go with them
in their new life. May they ever be
happy.

LUMBER YARDS SELL QUICK.
a Whole Regiment Of People Going
to Colorado

From the Rensselaer, Qnd.) Republican,
1t is duh day these days, where there
is not a new and big deal in lumber yards
in Rensselaer,, and new candidates for
Colorado heard of. The last deal in lum-
Der yards was three or four cornered
transaction which has pretty nearly
shaken the town off its foundation by
its magnitude.
The sale Of j. W. Pa1ton's yard and
real estate Herewith connected to Geo,
o. Bales, for about $4,000 has already
been mentioned. Now Mr.. Bales has sold
the same property to Jesse G. Gwin, our
ex-county treasurer, and has bought of
the Nowels-Sayler Lumber Company
their entire lumber and coal business
and all buildings and lots connected. The
value of the real estate is about 5000
but the value OF the stock is not stated.
Thus counting the two sales OF the Pax
ton yard and the one sale of the Novels
Sayler yard, this makes transactions in
Rensselaer, lumber yards amounting to
way up in the tens of thousands.
The sequel to all these sales is inter-
esting but not wholly agreeable. 1t means
the departure Of so many Of our best cit
izens to another state. If present inten-
tions are carried out, all these men and
their families will soon remove to Lamar,
Colorado: Wallace Robinson, D. B. Now
els, T. j. Sayler and j. w. Paxton. In ad-
dition to these Charley and Joe Paxton,
of Albany, are also going there. And
some precincts still to hear from.
Yes, there are several whole town
ships to hear from, and we presume
the Republican has heard from some
of them by this time.

NEWS OF THE MARBLE MILLS.

The Corona marble mills plant at Bran
don, which was vacated by the Brandon
Italian Marble company when it removed
to M~iddlebury, will be r%eopened by the
True Blue Marble company of Rutland.
The Brandon Italian Marble company
has commenced taking down the tempo
rarv board siding at the south mill and
replacing it with a marble wall. They
expect, in time, to have the side walls of
their entire plant of marble, which will
make a flre-proof building.
Contracts are under consideration
which may result in the employment Of
a large force of men at the marble works
of the Burlington Manufacturing COM
panv. The quarry on North avenue is
producing better stone as the work pro-
crosses and it is quite probable that
work in the marble industry may be
greatly revived in Burlington in the near
future.
Foreman John Cummings and George
Lawson Of Webstcrville met with "A
shocking accident Saturday while drill
ing out an Old charge in the WetmOre Il
Morse quarry. They neglected to use
enough water and a spark from the drill
exploded the charge, blowing the men
into the air some - feet. The surgeons
found that the men were not mortally
injured. but expect that Cummings will
lose one hand, while Lawson will proba-
bly, lose both eyes. Both men were bad
" burned and Otherwise bruised.
Things are lively at the Columbian
marble quarries in Rutland these days,
June ! the company opened a blue mar
Bile quarry in Whipple Hollow. The
property contains a fine vein of blue mar
Bile. Twenty-Five men are at work there,
with two channeliug machines and a dia-
mond gadder. Another channeling ma
chine will soon be added. The company
will soon start up its Mallet's bay quarry
in order to fill q contract for $500
worth of mahogany marble for the
numismatic room in the | nited States
mint at Philadelphia. The Columbian
has also contracted to furnish the interior

COLUMBIA GRAND GRApHopHoNEs.

10 meet the constantly growing de-
mand for a G%raphOphOne of the Grand
type at "A figure thar will suit the popu-
lar purse, the Columbia Photograph
Company announces that the price of the
Columbia Grand G~raphophOne is reduced
from So to $50, of Grand records from
Sl.j0 to 81 each, and of Grand blanks
from 81 to - crs. each. Il is confidently
believed that this substantial price reduce
ton will have the effect Of placing
G~raphophones of the genuine Grand type
In the hands Of thousands of persons who
have hitherto been restrained from pur-
chasing by reason of the comparative
ly high prices heretofore prevailing. As
a further and even greater means of slim
ulating the sales of Grand machines and
records, and of overcoming what un-
dOubtedly has been the principal deter
rent to their almost universal use. the
price of Grand records has been reduced
TO 81 each. instead of 81 30 as heretofore.
Columbia Grand records have Justly
earned the reputation of being the finest
product of the recOrd-making art, and
the manufacturers pledge themselves
that the goods will continue TO deserve
this reputation. The reduction in price
has been made possible by new manufac-
turing processes which result in improved
records as well as in more economical
manufacture. Grand blank cylinders,
formerly 81 each. are reduced to - cts.
each. 1t Is anticipated that the new
prices will create a demand for these
wonderful machines that will greatly tax
the superb facilities of The manufacturers.
Their plant at Bridgeport, Conn. is the
1 largest and most modern and complete
talking machine factory in the world aud
their facilities for the quick and ecOuOui
cal production ana distribution Of their
goods are u~napproached. The Columbia
monograph Co.. has brought about
every substantial Improvement in the
talking machine art. The most recent
achievement and one as startling aS the
original invention itself, was the discOv-
cry of the principles governing the con
structiOn of Graphophoue, of the Grand
type. These machines give forth repro
auctions OF sound with the same volume
and quality "a the original rendition
They speak and sing with the volume OF
"A giants voice; yet with the intensified
vibrant power there Is no sacrifice OF
quality, but on the contrary, a richer
fuller and more faithful reproduction of
the timbre of the original sound is OBJ
tanned. Five hundred dollars was the
price of the machines when first olierel
for sale, and the original price of large
records was five dollars each. Facilities
for the manufacture of the goods OF
large scale and the bringing OUT of new
models, have made possible great reduc
tions in price. There is now no obstacle
to the universal adoption of the Crane
|GraphophOne as the most f|aScinatin.
home entertainer of modern life.

George w. Hall of Chester, who was
arrested on complaint of w. w. Tower,
agent Of the State Humane Society,
pleaded guilty to cruelty TO animals
before Justice Newman Weeks in lsut-
land, and was fined 81 and costs of $50.
Mr.. Tower found Hall in the yard at
Rutland unloading IA car of calves in a
brutal manner. Mr.. Tower caused his
arrest, but allowed him to go on
with his cattle on his promise 10 re-
turn there for trial. This Hall did and
promised that hereafter he would treat
his cattle in a more humane manner.
Very few people have any idea Of the
pitiful condition which exists in some of
the cattle trains which go through the
state. The cattle are packed into a space
not large enough to hold half their num-
Der, and Mr.. Tower states that the sight
which often greets his eyes when a car
door is opened is positively sickening.
Mr.. Tower has started a crusade against
horse heaters and had Philip Ryan before
Justice Newman Weeks charged with
whipping, beating and in other ways
abusing a horse. Ryan pleaded guilty
and was fined s. and costs of 50 80,
which he made arrangements to pay.

warfare, probably, than any Nermonter
that ever lived. Col. Liscum was born
in Burlington. son of the late John Lis
cum, a prominent citizen of the,iast gen.
Grafton. Young Emerson had but just
been graduated from the high school
when the wal for the Union broke out,
and he at once enlisted. He served all
through the civil war, and was twice
wounded so severely that he was given
up to die. At the close of the war lin
which he had risen to the rank of first
lieutenant) he accepted a commission as
captain in the regular army and in this
capacity was for many years engaged In
the Indian wars In ;ho far West.
On the outbreak of the war with Spain,
by which time he had become major, he
was appointed brigadier-general of vol
unteers and was wounded at San Juan.
LAST year he was detailed to the Philip
ninos whore ne was in active service for
a wear nearly. making a very dis
tingnished record.
\ few weeks ago he was sent to China

immediately found his way to the firing
