Diseased Cattle Killed in Vermont

c. j. Bell of Walden, member of the
state board of cattle commissioners, Is
authority for the following facts in re-
gard to the tuberculosis question: Out
Of ninety or one hundred thousand cattle
tested in Vermont since 1894, when the
law went into effect, twenty towns had
O,OOO or nearly half of the entire num-
Der; 2000 of the 900 were slaughtered.
Randolph was the town where the great
est number were tested, there being 1000
tests made in that town alone. Ryegate
comes next with $500, Stowe with 1900,
and Newport with 200. Newport lost
the largest percentage of cattle with the
exception of Willston. Those killed in
Newport numbered 237. There were
1000 cows tested in Williston up to July
last and 500 of these were killed. In
Walden between 800 and 900 were tested
and only two found affected. The cows
in fifty or sixty towns in the state have
not been tested.

Small Pox Scare Dying Out.

The small pox situation in Burlington
is exceedingly gratifying to all concerned.
The latter part of last week there were
but 30 cases, and no new cases had
developed outside of the infected
families for over two weeks, which,
physicians say, is sufficient time for the
complete development of all exposures
which could have been made previous to
the quarantlning of the cases then on
hand. The public schools, with the ex-
ception Of the Lawrence Barnes school,
where the disease first made its appear
ance, have all reopened, as have also the
parochial schools. All places of amuse-
ment which were closed are again In full
running order. The Fletcher Free
Library has not been opened, but meet
ing of the board of trustees was soon to
be held.for the purpose of taking action.
All the cases of small pox have been ex-
ceedingly light, none of the affected ones
being confined to the bed, and there had
been no deaths.

Dangerous Defects in Iron and Steel.
Unseen Perils On Sea and Land.
An axle breaks under car of the limited
express. Only one axle, yet 1t wrecks the
the train, dozen persons, perhaps, killed
and injured What made that axle break
and not some other? Was not the strain
the same for ALP Yes, but that particular
axle had a weak spot in it-may be from
the day it was cast. 1t is often so with the
shafts of steamships. The weak spots do
not show on the outside and are discovered
only when they have caused disaster. The
same with your body. What is the weak
spot? Where is it? You or your doctor
may know that possibly, for the body feels
and shows signs in ways that machines do
not When you know it you should take
pains to protect it. When you do not know
it you should take the best possible care of
your general health. Avoid excess of every
kindand preserve the functional balance and
regularity of your system by using Calcura
Solvent, a neao medicine, discovered by Dr.
David Kennedy of Kingston, N. Y. physi-
clan known to the people of this country by
his success as surgeon and pathologist
for the past thirty years. This remedy, his
latest and best, is builder and healer, an
invigorant and purifier, and protects you
against collapse of your weak spots Re-
member the name-Calcura Solvent, and
accept no other instead of it.

Gold Mine in Middlesex,

The gold mine on the banks of the
Mad river In Middlesex, which was
opened few months ago, is proving
much better than was at first expected.
The land all around the mine for a half
a mile or so seems filled with gold. In
addition a vein of gold bearing quartz
has been discovered which assays very
we'll indeed. Boston capitalists have
become interested In the venture aud 1t
is expected that the mine will be made
to yield large results. Already it is
being worked at profit. Two men, E.
l.. Hall and A. j. Slayton, recently
took out little over $50 worth of pure
gold in less than two weeks. AS high
as Sl2 in single day has been washed
out by single man. All the way In
which the mine Is worked at present is
by the "pan" process. 1t is now ex-
pected that a dam will be built, thus
allowing the river bed itself to be
worked in this way. Some ten men
are employed there now, but as soon as
the water goes down In the spring it is
expected the number will be materially
increased and the work pushed. One
man wears as shirt stud nugget that
is worth at least So.

Eels by the Tubful.

The gates in the canal at Bellows
Falls were shut down for a short time
Oct. 20 and large installment of cells
was secured at the Robertson rack.
Ninety pounds of these were on display
in washtub in front of the Whine
Wiser lunch room. Most of them were
handsome specimens. This is the sea-
son of the year when, according
to the mill men, the cells migrate
south. Large numbers go through the
fumes, but the Robertson rack is the
only one fine enough to seriously trouble
their exit. There, large quantities get
into the wheels, where they are cut up
and seriously interfere with business.
The electric light wheel had a little
trouble Of that kind. The cells are said
to 60 down the river In the fall, but nc
one seems to know for sure whether
they come up In the spring. In case
they do they can hardly get farther than
the dam.

Home for INDECENT Teachers.

Several years ago Miss Lucy S. Rug
giles, well known as teacher and a
writer, died In Bennington leaving for
tune of about $4,000. She came from a
prominent Massachusetts family, and,
although sister and neces lived in Will
Jamestown, she never visited them.
During her residence in Bennington she
made few intimate friends. John w.
Hammond, member of the supreme
court of Massachusetts, was named in
her will as executor and trustee of the
estate, which was mostly in government
bonds. According to the terms of the
will, after the payment of all lawful ex-
penses, the balance was to go to found a
home for INDECENT teachers, the trustee
of the estate being authorized to select
the location. Last July Judge Hammond
was relieved as trustee, at his own re-
quest and Charles ii. Darling of Ben
nington substituted. Judge Hammond
turned over to his successor nearly
$4,000, after paying all the costs of liti-
CATION. In order that the provisions OF
the will may be legally carried out, a
corporation has been organized, under
the laws of Vermont, for the purpose OF
erecting and maintaining "The Teachers
Home Retreat" where INDECENT female
teachers can secure home at a price
which they can easily pay. The object
of this corporation is to administer the
funds and see that the wishes of Miss
Ruggles, as expressed In her will, are
carried out.

Exciting Experience of Two Andover Men

parts of the town, and, in fact, one of
the most heavily wooded sections of the
state. Snow and Cobb had Just emerged
from tract of heavy timber and were
about to climb wall which divided the
wood from pasture. Cobb was several
wards ahead of Snow in the act of light
inc a cigar when the latter heard a slight
rustling on the further side of the wall
and, thinking it might be rabbit, turned
in the direction from which came the
noise. There on the ground. not 20 feet
from Cobb, was large panther crouch
ing and apparently preparing to spring.
Snow called to Cobb to look out for him
self and then fired both barrels of his
shot gun at the animal. The cartridges
which were In the gun at the time con-
talned nothing but fine bird shot and
seemed to have no effect on the panther,
which simply turned its head and re-
manned in the crouching position. By
this time Cobb had seen the animal and
began firing at it.
After his first shot the panther leaped
to ledge directly back of Snow, but
Cobb fired seven shells from his repeater
before the animal could get away. None
of them seemed to have any effect, al

from Cobb's gun found their mark in adj
dtion to the two fired by Snow. BY the

of the heavy timber. Snow was for fol-

been wounded and could be killed, but
Cobb preferred to remain in the open.
The occupants of the nearest farm house
said that they had lost several sheep this
fall and other people in that part of the
country had suffered more or less from
the depredations of the animal.

portance of the sugar beet industry. The
secretary also regards this as evidence of
a determination on the part of the sugar
trust to go TO any length to retard the
development of the industry.
Whether the secretary's apprehensions
have any basis In fact or not, it is fact
not to be denied that beet sugur produc-
tion is increasing at such a rapid rate as
to Justify the prediction that it is only a
question of time when all the sugar used
In America can be made within the states
of the U lion. Inasmuch as the business
