LETT Err TO MAYOR BROWN.
Montpelier, vt.

Dear Sir r:-Abbott and Bailey have taken
the agency in your vicinity for the foremost
paint in the world: Devoe lead and zinc.
We bespeak few words to say how much
more this means than simply the sale of
good paint.
Our agent has to administer this agree
ment with every customer.
"If you have any fault 10 find with this
paint, either now in putting 1t oD, or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about
it,
"We authorize him to do what is right at
our expense"
We Lecome, you see the partner of every
man that uses our paint; and the partner
ship lasts as long as he chooses to continue
it.
Suppose 100 jobs of painting are done with
Devoe lead aad zinc this year; and some of
them don't turn out satisfactory two or
three years from now Our agent has got
to 'do what is right at our expense"
OF course his means that we know our
paint is going to turn out all right.
We have been in business, we and our
our fathers in business, 145 years; have
made great deal of paint; and have dealt
with thousands a. thousands OF people.
Are not in the least afraid to "do what ia
right" when a job goes wrong.
| And, In this age OF adulteration, we say
"Sepd II to your State chemist. II he finds
is adulterated. we will pay his bill and
send you 500.
There Is such thing as honest business

felt most keenly the grave responsibilities
to which had been called and L desire
that may faithfully fulfill them"
At the close OF the Senator's remarks,
Earl, the little son OF M. o. Evans, came
forward with handsome bouquet which
he presented to Mr.. Dillingham;.
The Senator took the little fellow in his
arms and placed him upright in chair
where all could see him remsrking st the
same time that such was the kind OF crop
Waterbury raised, crop which never
failed. The response was long and hearty
applause.
The outdoor exercises being completed,
the Senator held an informal reception in
the High School hall. This room and the
corridors of the building had been very
prettily decorated with bunting, cut flowers
and pot ed plants,
1t required some time for the Senator to
receive and shake hands with all who de-
sired to meet him but finally like all good
things the ovation came to an end and the
tired but happy multitude left for their
homes. The Senator remained in Water
bury until this afternoon, visiting his old
friends and enjoying the aftermath of the
celebration.
Waterbury did herself proud on this oc-
casion and those concerned in its festivities
are to be congratulated for the smoothness
and success with which the affair was car
ried out.

Fraud Alleged.

> The Silver City Mercantile Co., bank
ruptcy matter had another inning in the
United States court this morning. upon
the application of the petitioning credi-
tors for leave to file a supplemental or
amended complaint for the purpose of
joining Fanny I. Lott as one of the part
ners of the Silver City Mercantile Co.,
and a party to the bankruptcy proceed
ings.
In the original petition J. F. Lott, the
husband of Fanny J. Lott was named as
one of the bankrupts with the Nixons and
co-partner of the latter. Mrs. Lott con-
tended, however, that all the business
was done in her name. Mr.. Sanders. one
of the attorneys for the p%etitioning credi
tors stated that the amended petition Diff
Ifered from the original in that the credi-
tors sought to bring in Fanny J. Lott as
one of the partners Of the bankrupt con-
Germ. Mrs. Lott had made claim to the
stock of goods in the Centerville store.
Some thirty or forty additional creditors
plant also amplifies the charges of
transferring goods from the various

AFFIDAVIT OF JONES
IN THE MARSH CASE.

The buggy ride taken by Mrs. Thomas
Jones and w Fisher var Crystal
Springs last May is still holding down the
legal boards, and II the old horse that
caused all the trouble by smashing the
buggy and spilling Mrs. Jone and Mr..
Fisher to the ground could forget hts oats
and hay long enough to take a good. SEN
sible view of the situation he could not
fail to look Upon his job as a complete
one In every detail.
The seventh act in the drama was pre-
scented yesterday afternoon in the office
Of the county attorney, at which time the
deposition Of Mrs. Jones n her hus-
band, Thomas Jones, were taken before
Justice Nichols for use at the trial OF
the case of the state against Burt Marsh,
charged with having given a partial de-
cision while acting as referee in a sut
for 5000 damages, which was brought by
Thomas tones against Evan Fisher in
connection with the buggy episode OF
Mrs. Jones and Mr.. Fisher.
1t will be remembered that when the
accident to Mrs. Jones and Mr.. Fisher
occurred the former was injured SO
badly that she had to be taken to a hos
pital and cared for. Her clothing and
nervous system were shattered. Inc in
addition she was bruised n cut. Jones
paid the bill, but afterwards brought suit
against Fisher to recover the amount al
legged to have been expended by him in
rectifying the damage. He employed
| Marsh to handle the case. Before the
matter came to trial. however, Fisher
paid to Marsh the full amount demand
ed, which was 5000, and Marsh, it Is
| claimed, gave Jones only $50 Of the sum,
| alleging that Fisher had given him only
500. In some way Jones learned OF the
settlement, and. believing he had not
been dealt with fairly by Marsh, had
| Marsh arrested. Before the case anne
to trial in the district court Jones and
his wife ven to Wales on a visit, and
! during their absence the matter was dis
missed by the county attorney. A short
time ago, however, Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
returned, and the case was revived. In
order to ins"re their testimony they were
arrested and given quarters in the county
Jail. They will be released as soon as
their testimony is signed, which will
probably be tomorrow. During the TAX
ing of the depositions nothing new in
connection with the case was brought
out.

PURE MILK.

Lovers of pure milk are loud in their
praises of the management of the Butte
milk depot. People who are not familiar
with the many difficulties met and sur
mounted by them fail to appreciate the
magnitude Of their undertaking. De-
signing persons through selfish motives
have started many false rumors and are
doing all in their power to prejudice the
public against this enterprise, which
from a sanitary point alone should COM
mend itself to every thinking person. The
following results Of a few regulation tests
made by Sanitary Inspector Cronin, as
provided by law, tell why thinking per-
sons are daily adding their names to the
list of milk consumers who p%atronize the
Butte milk depot.
Keeping in mind that the law requires
that milk shall contain at least 3 per
cent Of butter fat. the figures below give
you an idea of the relative value of milk
sold in Butte, and why some people do
not like the Butte milk depot as COMPETE
