The income of the Bellows Falls post
office shows a gratifying increase during
the past year, as it has year to year during
the past % We ars. The figures are inter
esting in view of the fact that many clti-
zens who we're opposed to free delivery
had contended that the system would ma
teriallv reduce the income, largely because
of the loss of box rents. The loss from
that department is more than made up,
probably, in the increase of postage upon
drop letters, from one to two cents, and 1t
is certain the people will be disposed to use
the mail more when the letters are deliver
ed and collected from the various parts OF
the village. The following are the figures
as given by Postmaster Cannon;

GRAY HAIRS AND BALD HEADS

II is said are to be respected. All
respect them more on some one else
than themselves, however, and at the
first sign OF their appearance begin to
seek a remedy. This remedy should be
sought before the gray hairs appear or
the hair begins TO fall and get thin.
Some good preparation should be occa-
sionally used to strengthen and promote
its growth. We recommend Mails Hair
Restorer as being one Of the best prepa-
rations for cleansing the head from all
dandruH, preventing the hair from fall
ing, promoting the growth OF new hair
and changing gray hair TO its original
color. 1t keeps the hair moist and soft.

Pekin Are Alive. --China Asks Our
Good offices. --Boers Keep British
Busy.--Other Notes.
Even yet it is not certain whether the
foreign ministers in Pekin are alive or
not, though belief is growing that they
are. A message was received signed
by Minister Conger last week, stating
that the foreigners were in the British
legation under shot and she'll fire from
Chinese troops, and that only early re-
Iiet would avert a massacre. This de-
spaJeh came through the Chinese for
eign Office and many believe that it
was either forged or was belated and
that the foreigners were killed as re-
ported, early in July, The Chinese
emperor has made a formal appeal to
President Mckinley TO use his efforts
toward a restoration of peace and he
has consented to do so, under conditions
that the Chinese government must first
meet, looking toward the safety OF for
elgners. Some further lighting has
taken place about Tien Tsiu, favor

Big OWL
Trapped by Cunning Of an
Old Mother Hen.
Owl Is Now In Possession OF Officer
George Wilson.

For some time past an owl has taken
more than ordinary pleasure in de-
pleting the hcnnery of VIM. Fenu, or
Tallmadge township. The feathered
thief managed to get away with
large number of chickens, but due to
either an accident OF the sagacity of
an old morher hen, the owl was trap
ped Wednesday night.
The mother hen in question, with her
brood of chickens, lodged at night in
box, located in the chicken yard.
There were Stats across the box, and
the covetous eyes Of the owl, beheld
naught but mockcry in the security
Of the happy family in the box. Dur
irg the day. however, one end OF the
box was elevated so that the hen and
her brood could run in ana out at will
The end of the box was held up by o
stick, and the owl tumbled to the rack
ct. He visited the place carry IN the
evening, swooping down, and entering
the box, before Mi. Fem had removed
the stick that held the end OF the box
up. Tho OWLS presence frightened all
the chicks from the box, anu the old
hen also remembered an important
engagement that called for immediate
egress from the box. She started at
once, and with her wings and feet
knocked the stick from under the box,
thereby making the owl prisoner.
Mr.. Fem removed the owl, and
brought him to Akron, presenting tho
bird to Policeman George Wilson.
The OWLS wings from tip TO tip meas.
ured 80 inches.

NOT AFTER 1T.
Dick Does Not Want OF
be a Committeeman.
He Hopes to Succeed Senator Hanna
as Chairman,

After a long period Of uncertainty
1t has been definitely decided that the
next Ohio member of the National
Republican committee shall be some
other parsonage than the much titled
Charles Dick Of Akron, says the Plain
Dealer. Dick is not a candidate for
the position, regardless of the highly
colored pictures that have been drawn
Of his anxiety to step into the shoes
of Kurtz. 1t is not because of hls great
self-denial, for in this respect his best
friends regard Dick as lacking. His
renson for not presuming to the hon.
ors of this position, which is his for
the asking, is that he has IN view
something better.
George Barnsdale Cox OF Cincinnati,
without doubt will be the next Ma
tional committeeman from Ohio, and IL
present plans hold good Dick will be
secretary of the National Executive
committees, or its chairman, in case
Senator Hanna resigns, which is not
now regarded as probable
Tho authority for this statement is
John r. Malloy of Columbus, who was
at The Hollenden yesterday. Being
the authorized spokesman for Dick
aud Hanna In Ohio, aud the gentleman
in waiting and general advisor in the
Office of Gov. Nash, Malloy speaks as
one who knows. He said yesterday;
"Sa far as 1t is possible TO know
thing before it happens it is certain
that Cox will be the next National
committeeman from this state. The
question is definitely settled at the
convention, but 1t is perfectly tafe
TO make this prediction. There is no
rivalry for the position between Cox
aud Dick. Dick does not want il and
Cox does, so the arrangement is per
feet aud absolutely without friction.
Cox win have Dicks hearty support
re Hanna is chairman of the Executive
committee, Dick will be secretary, In
case IIanpa declines to serve again
the craftsmanship will go to Dick
