To Do business Well.

1t is quite true that when a man
wants his business done we'll he must
attend to it himself. But it is equally
true that reliable assistants are need
ed in the conduct of profitable enter
prises. There are many kinds of help
ers. For instance, advertising. If
the business man pay proper atten-
tion to advertising it will do more for
him than he can possibly do for him

FOUND THE CAR.

While the Car due in Barre at $50
was passing near Dodge bridge this
morning it struck man who was
standing near the track and threw
him into the road.
The mans name could not be
ascertained and it seems he was rid
ing on his bike from Montpelier to
Barre and had got off to have a rest.
He was leaning on the wheel with
his back towards Montpelier, the
right side of his body being directly
over the track.
The motorman of the car saw him,
but thinking the man would move,
he simply rang his bell and slowed
down the speed of his Car, but it
was evident the party was lost COM
pletcly in surveying the wide cxpanse
of beauty to be seen just at this
point, as he did not move. The car
moved him, for he was thrown into
the middle of the road, but was not
badly hurt as he got up quick enough,
mounted his wheel and returned from
whence he came. Moral--ifyou want
to find car going to Barre, stand in
the middle of the track.

ST. J0HNSBURY MURDER.

st. Johnsbury, July 27.--What may
prove to be murder is creating pro.
found sel.sation here. Yesterday fire
was discovered in a block on Railroad
street, but it was put out by use of
chemicals.
The door in the block of roOmer
named Charles Miller, was broken in
to put out the fire. Miller was found
lying in bed with u bullet hole through
the heart. The body was cold. 1t
was supposed that he had committed
suicide, but on investigation, after
the bullet had been located, indicated
that the fatal shot was probably not
self inflicted. This conclusion arises
from the position of the bullet and it's
course through the body.
Miller was II car cleaner who worked
nights and slept through the day. He
was cheerful and happy and no motive
1Or SUICIDE is known.
Inmates of the block heard the
soupd of pistol quite awhile previous
to the fire, but did not Investigate.
The theory that the pistol shot, If
the act was that of a suicide, set fire
to the bed clothing, is not carried out.
as the part of the bed most burned
was not near the pistol.
Miller's sister, living in the same
house and whose name is Mrs. John
son. was held for examination.
