PRICE OF MEAT.

Many people have been talking
about the proposed rise in meat and a
TELEGRAM reporter i'm order to as
certain the facts of the matter visited
all the meat men in reference thereto,
and the letters herewith from some OF
them will explain matters beyond any
dispute.
Smith Bros, say they do not in.
tend to raise the price of their meat
and that the price has been steady
for month or more, but they do not
think it will 60 higher.
Our readers will remember that
the TELEGRAM said about two months
ago that there would be an increase
in the price but that it would not
last long, it now looks that instead of
increasing there will be a decrease
soon. All these letters seem to in
dictate that fact.
G.. j. Towne.
An article appeared in Times of 2lst
stating that an agent Of Swift Beef
Co. had advanced price of beef &c.
per ID. We have not been asked an ad
vance for over month and have never
yet paid or been asked to pay 8 cents
for beef. The retail price of beef in
Barre is far below the retail price in
Massachusetts and the western beef
used in Barre is of fair quality.

" To my customers:-I have not
heard of any rise in the price of West
ern beef as prices range about the
same as it was the past months, there
fore do not intend to put prices any
higher than they are now. But pork
is pretty scarce and higher and we
should get more for it if it keeps ris-
ing.

WHAT DEWEY COULu RAVE DONE.
Repetition OF His Statement that Manila
Gould be Taken In a Day.

Washington, Jan. ll.-Responding to
the Senate's resolution Of inquiry, the
secretary OF the navy today sent to
the Senate a copy Of Admiral Dewey's
report from Hongkong, dated March
81, 1895, relative 10 the capture Of Ma
Mia.
The text Of the report shows that II
was made In response TO a telegram Of
inquiry from the secretary, and the
admiral gives in detail the names Of
the available vessels under his COM
mand, and also a list Of SPANS vessels
and other means of defense at Manila,
He states that his own squadron was
in a high state OF efficiency,
Speaking OF the Spanish forces he said
they numbered about $1,000 soldiers
Of all arms in all the Islands, Of which
half are In the vicinity Of Manila. The
islands are now in a state Of insurrec-
ton, and my informants state that
even the Spanish soldiers who consti-
tute only a small part Of the whole are
dlsaffected. Both ships and forts are
In need Of ammunition"
To this statement he added the fol-
lowing: ~ believe ! am not over-con-
fdent in stating that with the squad
ron now under my command the ves-
sells could be taken and the defenses
at Manila reduced in one day. There Is
every reason to believe that with Ma
Mia taken or even blockaded, the rest
Of the islands would fall either to the
insurgents or TO ourselves. as they are
only held now through the support OF
the navy. and are dependent upon Ma
Mia for supplies. Information has Just
reached me that there are 5000 armed
rebels In camp near Manila who are
willing 10 assist us.

LOST THE TASTE

ut is strange how people will try to
invent some cause for their feeling bad,
rather than to charge the trouble 10
some habit they may have that they
have good reason be believe Is the real
cause. For instance, all the time thai,
we were using coffee on our table l
was subject to occasional terrible head
aches. and my husband was half sick
with nervous troubles.
I'VE felt satisfied that coffee was
the cause, but were afraid we wouldn't
like Postum Cereal Coffee, and there
fore tried In every way to think that
something in the food, or some other
reason, was the real cause OF our
troubles. After reading several articles
in regard to the evil effects OF coffee
drinking, and the merits OF Postum
Food Coffee, became convinced OF the
truth Of the statements, and called my
husbands attention TO them.
"He was skeptical on the subject, but

tum trial. so he procured n package

using was Of the kind that produced
little cream, and that did not give US rs

However, in spite Of the drawback, we

and beth Of US found ourselves greatly
benefited by the change. My head
ceased TO trouble me entirely, and my
husband was practically made over.
I'VE were out OF the Postum for a
time, and having coffee in the house
and feeling so much better, we con
cluded 10 try the coffee again, but In a
few days my headaches came back, so
that we became satisfied where the real
trouble existed We used Postum for
quite long time and still having some
coffee In the house. tried coffee again
Imagine our surprise In discovering
that we no longer cared for the taste
Of the ordinary coffee, so the next
morning we had rare treat, In a cup
OF piping hot, delicious Postum.
Coffee is no longer kept In our
house. Our children are very fond OF
the new kind Of 'toffe' as they call II,
and we give them as much as they
want TO drink, without fearing TO injure
their health. / find that 1t enables me

As 10 the question OF again sending
a commission 20 the Philippines. II has
been suggested in the Congress, by
both senators and representatives, that
a joint committee OF members might
be named for that purpose. II would
be very popular and also very expensive,
but 4 is insisted that IL would be a
better way OF preparing Congress for
legislative action than the plan OF
making IN a commission outside OF
Congress and expecting members OF
both houses TO read their report after
II had been made In order that II
may become informed II is said that
a special committee Of members well
known would be more interesting and
impressive.

Gov. Tanner declares at the outset
that he Is not a candidate for the Sem

that he Is strongly opposed to the re-

politically with anybody when II was
