duced in Vermont about half crop.
that is an average of two-thirds of a
pound to each tree tapped. Prices run
about the same as for the past three
years. 1t is reported that because of the
ravages of the worms during the past
three or four years, many farmers did
not tap their orchards this season.

The Burlington Clipper, one of the six
or eight members of the family which
''says something has abandoned it's
crusade against paregoric, and turned its
eagle eye toward Christian Science. Here
it is out of its element for in a double
loaded column editorial it says nothing,
that is it says nothing definite. 1t thinks
if Christian Science continues to spread
as in the past, it's believers will before
long out-number the combined member
ship of all denominational churches.
The editor continues: This paper takes
no stand in the matter, believing that
every person has the right to choose and
follow whichever religion suits him best,
if it leads him into the barnyard and I'M
der the barn. But he will watch the
war with interest" This is weak posi-
ton for a paper to take which ''says
things" Jump into the swim, revered
contemporary. If this movement is
destined to sidetrack the Christian
church, you certainly want to be init.

The st. Adams Messenger recently
published some startling figures regard
ing liquor agency sales throughout the
state. 1t has also interviewed the state
board of health to ascertain it's opinion
as to what per cent of these enormous
sales was for strictly medicinal purposes.
DR.. Henry d. Holton Brattleboro declined
co make any general statement for publ
cation. He did say, however, that in his
own practice he prescribed liquor very
sparingly. DR.. T. R. Stiles of st. Johns
bury had rather hazy ideas, but thought
considerable liquor was used for medic
inal purposes in his part of the state
DR.. C. S. Caverly of Rutland said While
it is undoubtedly true that much less
alcohol lin its various forms) is now pre-
Scribed by physicians than formerly
there is still quite a wide difference in
opinion as to it's usefulness and in its use
by physicians. Based upon my own
practice and that of physicians about
the state with whom l come in contact
I would venture the opinion that there
is very little alcohol indicated or pre-
scribed nowadays for strictly medicinal
purposes. I have little doubt most of
the true medicinal alcohol is sought else
where than at the town agency" TIE
fact is that 90 per cent of the liquor used
for medicinal purposes is not prescribed
by physicians, but by the patients them
selves.

RIG aES DISCLOSED BY DEATH
Mrs Robin Icks a Great Collector
 of Jewelry.

Mrs. Robin Icke died at her home near the Indian school, on Saturday night. of typhoid fever. The death is surrounded by sad incidents. The hus- band of Mrs. Icke was arrested on Saturday night charged with insanity. The complaint against him had been made by one of his neighbors. who said that his presence at home was calculated to retard. if not prevent the recovery of his wife. It was said that he had threatened her life and the Ganger seemed to be further increased by the clrcurhstance that Icke was ad- judged of insanity last fall and was confined in the asy,um for a short time. .>s
 The report of the death of Mrs. 1cke was accompanied by report. or sur mise. that it might have been hastened by the violence of her husband and an investigation was demanded. Justice Burnett summoned a jury and viewed me remains yesterday morning. The examination developed no indications nf violence or any other fact that death had came from other than natural cause. It did disclose, though. that the lckes were persons of greater i'm portance so far as worldly wealth Is concerned, than they seemed to be.
 They had kept unguarded about their house. jewelry and precious stones of unknown value. amounting anyhow to certainly many thousands of dollars. The coroner brought back lot of sii-

 A PORTABLE CONFLAGRATION.-- .-- One day last week there was a fire in this city for which no alarm was turned in. but which made things rath- CT interesting for a time in the vicinity of south Seventh avenue. The fire broke out in the debris of one of the city garbage wagons, and from the flame and smoke it look like there would at least be a total loss of the wagon, even If the horses and driver escaped But the men, women and chill dren of the neighborhood formed them selves into a bucket brigade and soon extinguished the flames. There was little if any damage. This is the only town in the United States where the scavenger gathers up confiagration baccilli and hauls them away to the river. The germs In the load in ques- tion were nearer maturity than the driver supposed, or he would have talk en a hose cart along for an escort.

balmed and hold. regardless of ex' pense. Money no object. Coming"
 A message was sent yesterday morn ing informing the sister that death had occurred, but no reply had been re- ceived last night
 The husband was sane yesterday morning when the news of his wife's death was told to him. His grief was pitiful and 1t was strange that 1t did not drive him into another paroxysn of insanity, for which he Is to be ex. amlned today.
 Though Icke and his family have lived in the valley for eight years, yer, little has been known of them. After travelling over a considerable part oi the world. they stopped in Minneapo. lis, where Josiah T. Harbert, who had started an ostrich farm here heard oi him as an expert handler of ostriches n knowledge acquired in South Africa Mir Harbert sent for him and he came to Phoenix. He has since been 1T charge of the ostriches until about three weeks ago, when he had a dis agreement with Mir. Pearson, the pres. ent owner of the ostrich farm. Two children mourn the loss of their mo- ther. Winifred, a girl of 10, and Jack aged 13.

CASH REGISTER LITIGATION

The replevin case of the Merchants and Manufacturers National bank of Columbus, Ohio. assignee of the Hall wood cash register company against Alois Weller a butcher. attracted con- siderable attention in Judge Gray's court Saturday afternoon and resulted in a verdict for Mir. Weller. The reg ister was sold MT. Weller on the in- stallment plan about year ago under a guarantee that it "could not be beat" or that a dishonest employee, if dis posed to keep false registers, could not do so. Mir. Weller, after discovering the machine was not as represented, refused to complete payment, and de- manded his money back, which the cash register company refused. Three witnesses plainly demonstrated that , this machine at least was liable to reg ister less amount inside than the tag exposed to customers gaze would in- dicate. Judgment was given the de- fendant and he will be allowed the pos session of the machine, at least until his money is refunded.

verware and a large leather covered Casket which contained the most va ried assortment of works of the jewell CTS art ever brought to Phoenix. There were yards of pearl necklaces. some of the pearls as large as the marbles which boys play with. There were sap phires. garnets and all manner of precious stones. There were rings of curious designs. the workmanship of jewellers of south Africa. Egypt and India. Some bore large diamonds and one of them bore such large ones and so many that a iady said Mrs. Icke told her 1t had cost e450. There were bracelets of solid gold and silver, bangles and whatever else delights the feminine heart There were large gold lockets containing portraits of good looking people, and there was in a small jewel case a small faded portrait of a very old woman. In the bottom of the lower tray, among all this wealth. there were locks of brown hair. cheap lead pencil with the point broken off. It had been made in Lon don. And there was a folded coarse paper on which child had drawn the rough outline of a horse and wagon.
 Later in the day. a lady who knew Mrs. Icke. brought in another install- ment of riches. More baskets of solid silver. another rich casket, heavy and unopened and without key. There was also a small clock, wedding pres ent. of solid gold, said to be worth $l,000. She said that the clothing of the woman was as rich as her jewelry, and comprised silks and sea,skins in great number. There was also missing brooch of great vasue, The dying woman and her little daughter had described it.. The child had been sent to put 1t away and no one had seen 1t since. This is layout which would have made the burglars of Phoenix rich. if they had known how easily it might have been obtained. guarded in an iso- lated country house by dying woman and two little children.
 It became evident on Saturday that Mrs. Icke could not live and friend who knew she had a sister living at Birmingham. England. the wife of a great coal operator, sent her a cable gram. A reply was received yesterday morning; "If she dies. have body em-
