MountnIn. of the peep.

Many miles off the coast OF New
foundland the bottom of the ocean rises
In a remarkable way and forms com
paratively shallow basin. enormous in
extent and surrounded by water FIVE
miles deep. This region is known as the
Newfoundland banks and is the famous
trysting place of the merciless fogs and
ice clad brotherhood of the north.
As these icebergs approach the warmer
climate the action of the sun and water
upon them is remarkable and does for
them what the sculptor's chisel does for
the block of marble. Out of shapeless
masses appear forms of the finest archi-
lecture drifting mountain careens,
topples over and finally twists itself into
a beautiful cathedral or a many turreted
fortress, set high upon an elevation of
clearest marble, vast interiors formed by
icy arches springing from great bits of a
breaking berg and all these forms draped
with rich traceries of cream white lace
In designs undreamed of.
Then, too, the melting ice on the crests
of these bergs falls down the slippery
sides and into the sea in streams and
cascades. and, strange as it seems, this
water is always fresh, despite the sur
rounding salt OF the ocean.-John Russell

TOO MUCH MARRIED,
j. F. Kimball Charged With Having
Three Wives and Six Children.

His First wife Lives at Randolph, and
Deputy Sheriff There swOre Out the
Charge which Resulted In KImbalps
Arrest at Lynn, Mass.
John f. Kimball, for whom the police in
Boston have been searching three months,
was arrested Sunday in Lynn. He is a
young man who is alleged to have three
wives and six children. Kimball was final
ly traced to Lynn through his conversation
over the telephone with woman in Bos-
ton. When he spoke with her Sunday the
police in Boston we're notified and they in
turn informed the police in Lynn, who
promptly captured the man in the drug
store where he had gone to use the tele-
phone. He denied that his name was Kim
ball, but the Boston officers who arrived in
a short time, identified him. When paper
signed John F. Kimball was AIKEN from his
pocket he broke down and acknowledge d
his name. He had 1891 in cash in one pock-
ct.
The charge of bigamy against Kimball is
sworn to by Deputy Sheriff j. f. Lamso
of Randolph, Vt. 1t is stated that in Jan
uary, 1898, Kimball married Miss Lillian K
Stoddard of Randolph, who is the mother
of two children. In September, 1897, he
contracted marriage with Elnora Alice
Reed, l6, of Boston, who is also the mother
of two children. Kimball claims that this
marriage was not legal. The name of the
other wife is not known, but it is claimed
that when Kimball boarded at Ashburtou
place in Boston woman called there,
claiming to be Kimball's wife. She de-
manded support for herself and two child
rem.
When Kimbal married the Reed girl her
mother gave him the formula of a specific
medicine and the handling of the business.
Kimball then tried to GUST his mother-in-
law from the business. The court decided
that the woman had the right to the name
and the medicine. Sine moved her business
into new quarters, and Kimball has contin-
ued to do business at the old stand, although
he has not been there during the last three
months. Kimball's wife in Randolph has
instituted proceedings for a divorce, and
the Boston wife is expected to take similar
action. The police intimate that there are
other cases to be brought against Kimball,
and that interesting developments may be
expected

SMALL FOX SCARE AGAIN.
About 20 Cases Are Now Under Treat
ment at Hardwick.

Disease MAY BE Chicken POI, but Many
People Believe It Is Small POI---WhOle
Families Leaving Town.
Hardwick is again stirred to its depths
over the existence of several cases of sup
posed small pox. At the time of the excite
ment two months ago DR.. Hamilton said
the disease might be chicken pox, and ad-
yised a general vaccination. Nearly every
one in the village followed his advice, but
since that time many people have been af
nicted with the disease and some have been
critically i'll.
The disease has assumed such proper
tions that the local physicians held a meet
ing Friday evening and decided to quaran-
tie every one who now contracts the dis
ease. Heretofore they have been able to
be about the streets, but now they must
remain in their rooms. 1t is not stated
positively that the disease is small pox,
but the statement is made that it may be
chicken pox The majority of the people,
however, believe it is small pox.
About 20 cases are now under treatment
and the community is greatly excited.
Whole families are leaving town and bust
ness is at a stand still. The local physi-
clans do not agree upon the nature of the
quarantine will tend to stamp it out The
effect of the scare on the business of the
village has been bad and some even go &c
far as to say that it will take months and
perhaps years for the town to recover
The action taken by the doctors meets with
the approval of the people, who are anx
ious that the disease may be checked a:
soon as possible.
Drs. j. H. Hamilton and H. ID. Holtor
Of the state board of health held a meeting
ia Hardwich Tuesday to further investi
gate the small pox scare. They pronounc
ed the trouble to he modified small pox anc
the quarantine which began last Saturday
at the instance of the citizens at a public
meeting will continue. The scare still re
mains at its height and a number of people
are leaving the village daily to escape in
lection. The larger part of those leaving
are stone cutters, who form the principa
working class in the village. One new
stone shed which has just been completed
cannot, it is said, secure the 80 men de
sired because of the disease.
The disease is spreading to the surround
towns, but a quarantine is enforced and i
is hoped to stamp the infection out withou
further cases. At Waitsield the diseas
was contracted by a lady who cared for
relative in Hardwick. Upon her return
home she was taken ill and six cases in til
village were the result. One person il
Morrisville contracted the disease and
has also been carried to Newport.
The physicians in Hardwick are still di
vided on the nature of the disease, som
stating that it is small pox and others sayin
that it is not, but they are not able to say wha
it is The majority of the people, however
believe that it is small pox, and are of tn
opinion that if strict quarantine had bee
enforced in the beginning the contagio
might have been averted.

vermonters In Western Politics.

Those who are watching the congressional
campaign this summer were interested last
week in news from Michigan regarding a
Vermont man. Mayor Maybury of Detroit,
whom the Democrats nominated for COVER
nor, lives in the district represented by
John B Corlss of Detroit, a native of
Richford, VT, who was educated at the
Vermont Methodist seminary. 1t has been
thought probable that Mayor Maybury
would run as a Democratic candidate for
Congress instead of for governor, and in
that event it was feared he would give Mr..
Corliss a hard tussle, as Mayor Maybury is
especially popular with the voters. 1t is
now regarded as good as certain that Mr..
Corliss will be reelected for fourth term
in the House, as there is no available Demo
crat who can match him for popularity in
the district In North Dakota Vermont
man has been defeated for denomination
to Congress. He is Representative Bur
leigh F. Folsom of Fargo Mr.. Folsom is a
native of Craftsbury, and made good rec
ord in Congress last winter. He refused
to condescend to the plan of a combine for
the state offices at the recent state conven-
ton and the Republicans got into a tangle
which resulted in the nomination of an
other man for Congress.

But he never wrote to upbraid her.
Years passed, and he finally returned to
live in his old home but, though he and
Rebecca passed each other daily, there
was never speech between them. They
were now middle aged and each lived
alone.
One night Rebecca in a restless mood
started out for Il walk. She had gone as
far as Dick Waldron's cottage when she
thought she heard u groan. She stopped,
then, with fast beating heart, ran up to
the door and listened. The groan was
repeated. and. listening no longer, she
pushed open the door and entered. AL
most on the threshold she stumbled over
his PROSTATE form. In a moment she
was on her knees and lifted his head
upon her breast.
"Dick, my darling are you hurtT she
whispered, passionately kissing his closed
eyes and rubbing his cold hands. ARGUS
ed by her words he struggled to rise, but
fell back. But he knew her "Ah, Re
becca, you have been cruel to me-" he
murmured; then almost under his breath
he said;
when pain and anguish wiring the
brow, ministering angel thou.
Il fell and broke my leg and crawled
to the door for help" he began to ex-
plain, but tainted away.
When Richard Waldron recovered con-
seriousness, he had the doctor beside him
instead of Rebecca. Miss Stoner saved
your life, ! really believe" the doctor
said
II know she did," echoed Dick. But
he meant something the doctor could not
, understand.
The next day Rebecca' received an
urgent note from her old lover, begging
her to come to him. She could not re
fuse, for, as she told herself, he might bC

had come, the sharp eyes softened, ant
the hard lines about her mouth seemed

wild hope that. after all. new day o.
happiness was about to dawn for her.
All that seemed so incomprehensible t
them was now cleared up, although tn
missing letter was never traced, and thu
village people were shocked the mex
day to learn that Rebecca had married
Dick Waldron when he was sick in bed
Took advantage of his helpless situa
tion," some openly declared. Others de
rided, but some sympathized.
Rebecca heard this statement, but sh
did not care. Dick had begged her t
marry him at once, and she felt she owe,

and so she nursed him back to life an,

1t has been decided that Charles Miller,
who was found dead in bed at st Johns
bury Thursday, killed himself. Expert
ments with pistol on bed clothing similar
to that which caught fire showed that it
might be set on fire by pistol shot. 1t
was thought at first that some one had set
the fire to cover up a murder. Mrs. Eva
johnson, his sister in-law, who was held
for examination, satisfied everybody that
she had no possible connection with Miller's
death. 1t has been learned that Miller
bought the revolver found in his bed and
