Railroad Cramp Nuisance.

u
The Importance of the railroad
tramp nuisance is indicated by the fact
that it is made the subject of the
leading article in the investors sup
plement" of the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle, an issue of over
$50 pages. The estimate of Josiah
Flynn that 10000 tramps steal rides
nightly and 10000 more are lettering
around railroad yards is quoted, to-
gether with his estimate that each of
the 60.ae0 tramps in the country trav-
els on an average of fifty mills a day.
which. for 100 days in the year. means
5000 Geo miles OF free transportation
annually. which at two cents n mile.
would represent paying travel Of ST.,
600 coo The free rides are. however.
Of slight Importance compared with
the extensive pifering of freight and
personal damage claims arising
through accidents to tramps while
trespassing The Commercial and
Financial Chronicle advises railroads
to adopt the plan of the Pennsylvania
road, which employs regular force of
eighty-three men 10 keep the ears and
yards clear of the undesirable class.
The success of the plan is shown in
that the company pays $1,000 a year
less for its police arrangements than
before it adopted it, The adoption OF
the plan by all important roads would
not only be of benefit TO them but to
the country. 1t is well known that
most tramps are what they are partly
because of hatred of work and partly
because they like to travel. The re-
moving of easy facilities for transpor-
tation would reduce the number enor-
mously. The deserving poor may get
free transportation at any time.

NnadO, one of the oldest Yaqul chiefs
of his nation has settled 20 miles be-
low El PasO, where he expects to
spend the remainder of his days. AL
though aged and bearing the scars Of
two wars, this leader who fought to
perpetuate the freedom Of his race
carries his tall, erect and athletic form
with the buoyant swing of youth.
During the ten years war, when the
Yaquls successfully resisted attempted
encrOachments upon their domain and
forced the Mexican government to ask
for peace, Vnado was Cajemes chief
general, and even at Cajeme's bidding
Vnado refused TO withdraw his forces
from the field until the government of
Mexico authorized a treaty with the
Yaqui nation.
1t was stated at the time that Vnado
was the leader Of the band OF Yauuis
who, few years ago, assaulted and
captured the custom house at Nogales
and ran the Mexican guards into the
mountains, says the San Francisco Ex-
amlner 1t was known that Vnado was
a great admlrer of Santa Teresa, and
the Mexican official charged that she
melted the raid on Nogales.
About six years ago. after Santa
Teresa had been exiled from Mexico
by order of the government and the
Indians had retired to the mountains
to grieve over the departure Of their
saint, the Mexicans thought all trouble
was past But n small detachment of
Mexican soldiers was maintained in
the upper Yaqui river regions. Two
officers OF the detachment on q tour of
exploration met a pair Of Yaquis re-
turning from a hunt. The quartet
Immediately entered into conversation,
during which the name of the Giving
saint" was brought up. The officers,
without regard for the reverence in
which the woman was held. made 4, re-
mark which the Indians regarded as
insulting to her memory, for they knew
not whether she was dead or living.
No sooner had the remark been passed
lengths on the ground, with bullets in
their brains. Fearing a search would
be instituted by the officers comrades
when their absence was realized both
Indians made for the United States
border and are now living with the
Senecu tribe, 20 miles below FL Paso
on the Rio Grande. These two aven-
gers were members of Vnados family.
Peace reigned between the govern
ment and the Yaquis until a year ago,
when the old trouble broke out afresh.
and the old treaty ties were cast asuu-
der by the gradual encroachment Of the
governments emissaries upon the In
dams allotted domain. The old chief
saw the result Of such violation and
quietly prepared to resist outside in
vasion. Another council was held, as

Through TO saxtons River.

The first cars of the electric road to go
through to Saxtons River we're run last
Friday, and it was the occasion of pleas
ant, although simple and appropriate little
celebration. They have run for two or
three weeks as far as Barber's park, a lit
tie over half way. Friday Superintendent
Holton invited nearly car load of Bellows
Falls citizens to ride through with him on
the first car. They were met there by the
firing of cannon, blowing of whistles, ring
ing of bells and other forms of expression
of Joy at the commencement of an era of
communication which will be of so much
Importance to that little village.
On the lawn of the late Frank Schofield
a collation. of cake and ice-cream was
served, and speeches made by citizens and
officials of the road. One or two carloads
of Saxtons River people were treated to a
ride down to the park and back, ard many
expressions of pleasure and good will were
exchanged Since then the road has run
its cars through with more or less irregu-
larity, no schedule of time having been de-
cided upon, owing to various hindrances
which will be fully overcome later.

Superintendent CO1's New Positions
Principal Of Sch OOIs Engaged.

G.. W, Cox, superintendent of schools,
has resigned his position here and accepted
that of superintendent of schools and prin-
cipal of the High school in the town of
Stockbridge, Mass. He will assume the
position at the opening of the school year.
The loss to our school system will be
great, as Mr.. Cox, in his two years SER
vice here, has proven himself a capable, eff
fcent and very popular official. He holds
the greatest confidence of the citizens,
school board and teachers and the love of
pupils. His reason for the change is pure
ly financial one. He receives an advance
of over 80 per cent Of what his salary was
here. Are not our schools suffering from a
penny pourd -foolish" policy The
selection of Mr.. Cox's successor has not
been made.
The school board has engaged as princi-
pal Of our schools the coming year Mar
shall W. Downing, who graduated from
Vern ont Academy in $780, and has ac-
quaintances and relatives hereabouts. He
graduated from Oberin in 1894, having
taught one year in Stowe, this state, during

Star Athlete of Norwich University.

Cadet Uphsm of Bellows Falls was the
star of the field-day meet of Norwich uni
versity last Wednesday. He won the 100
yard race in 10 35 seconds He was also
first in the 220 yard dash, the quarter mile
run, the running high jump, and the 800
yard hurdle race. He scored more points
than any other competitor. The North
field News, i'll commenting on Upham's
victories, stated that he had won some %
medals in various athletic events.
Cadet Upham graduated from the Bel
lows Falls High school last year. He took
a prominent part in athletics during his
last two years in school. He was easily
the leading athlete of the school, and his
good work was an important factor in
bringing home last year the cup of the
Connecticut River Interscholastic associa-
ton, which our boys were able to retain
again this year. Since Young Upham
came home last week he has received a
letter from President Brown of Norwich
university asking him if he wished to try

tary academy at West Point, and saying
he could probably win it. He expects to

only time of his life Vnado was caught
mapping. One night the army went to
slumber with sentinels alert for an ad-
vancing foe. For once the vigilance Of
the watchers availed them not, for
from the distance crept a force supe-
rior in arms and numbers, perfect in
discipline-two and a half battalions of

Log DrIv. Causes 1dI.m.ss a, ,hs Mills.

The log men have practically controlled
the water in the river the larger part of
the time for 10 days past, and as the low
condition OF it would not allow the mills to
run while the logs were passing over the
falls, the mills have had to remain idle,
throwing a large number of workmen out
of employment. This has also largely
crippled the electric road, there being no
steam auxiliary to the power, and the cars
have run but small part of the time and
very irregularly. The logs are all here
now, the rear having arrived yesterday.
There have been about 40 men here for
four weeks, and those with the rear of the
drive make 140 men in all here now, with
about 90 horses. The water has been
little better the last two days, and at pres
ent rate of passing it will take but few
days longer to get the logs by.
