In the debate on the oleomargarine bill
in the Senate on the LIST inst. Senator
Heitfeld of Idaho submitted a table show
ing the amount of oleomargarine shipped
to each state of the Union in the year
ending June 80, 1899. and the number of
dealers in each state TO whom oleomar-
garine was shipped. In this table Yer
mont has but one dealer He received
during the year in question 1880 pounds

appreciable percentage of the total
amount of oleomargarine sold by the
manufacturers, which was nearly eighty
million pounds. Illinois leads all the
other states in the number of dealers
and the amount of this imitation but
ter consumed having 1920 dealers. who
received in that year 1876 ,92l pounds, or
over nine thousand tons of oleomarga-
rine. Ohio had 1905 dealers who received
and sold over four thousand tons of the
product. Vermont received less than any
other state with the single exception OF
the state of Nevada. Evidently unless
shipments to this state have greatly in
creased in the last three years. oleomar-
garine has not come seriously into COM
petition with butter in Vermont; and II is
because of the effect of oleomargarine on
the general market for butter that our
farmers desired the passage of the oleo-
margarine bill.

Wanted-A Caucus Law.
IMorrisYille Messenger.l

Unless a radical change takes place and
the use of money, not only In elections,
but in securing nominations in party con-
ventions. is absolutely prohibited, the day
Is not far distant when no poor man. no
matter what his ability or qualifications
may be, can hope to be elected to any
Office
1t is none too early to discuss this
question and arouse the people to the
danger that threatens them.
1t Is true today that no poor man can
afford to become a candidate for gov
ernor. No poor man can afford to hire
men to travel over the state and enlist
other workers in every county and
town. No poor man can pay all these
men, and they do not work for nothing.
1t ought not to be necessary to do this.
1t ought to be prohibited by law. No
candidate for any Office ought to be al
lowed to spend over 800 for all cam
paign expenses
Give us stringent caucus law that will
put an end forever to some incidents
OF this and other recent campaigns, that
are too fully known to all men to need
repeating
The first duty of the next legislature
should be to pass a caucus law

McCullough's Divided Interest.
Lyndon Union.

Residence in one state and business IN
another makes at least divided interest
and divided allegiance. Should Me-
Cullough be elected governor of Vermont
and the state drop into the bowels of the
earth and disappear forever, McCull-
ough would not be ruined. but would still
be prosperous and influential business
man IN New York His prosperity is not
dependent on the prosperity OF Vermont
and he is consequently not a full fiedged
Vermonter, and for that reason is not
entitled to the position of file leader In
state where only his minor interests
are located. Though an able man, he is
not an unadulterated "Vermonter," in
the sense of personal interest.

WORKING IN THE SQUARE
WORK ON ImPRovEmENTs AROUND
FOUNTAIN BEGUN.
Large Oval Grass Plot with Brtcked
Concreta Walks Co be Made VIII
Greatly Improve Squares
Appearances.

Workmen with pick aud shovel have
begun preparing the ground surround.
ing the public drinking fountain for
the improvements. The ground will
be leveled and an oval grass plot feet
by ~ feet wide will be made around
the fountain.
RThis will make plot somewhat lar
ger than the average citizen expected,
but in making the plans the Public
Square Improvement Committee con.
cluded that the more grass that could
be placed in the square the better it
would be in looks. Consequently they
decided to place as large grass plot
as they could around the fountain and
at the same time to leave room enough
for drive way around the fountain.
A circle of concrete will be placed
around the fountain and concrete
curbing will be placed around the edge
Of the grass plot. A brick walk will
lead from the fountain to the pave
ment in front of Flick building and ON
the opposite side facing the Court
House. A walk will extend from the
fountain to the edge of the curbing.
1t is the intention at some future
ime to have walk extend on across
the square on line with the pave
ment ON the south side of King street,
running along the edge of the grass
plot afd also to have brick walk ex-
tend across the square in the sther di-
rection, from the Court House corner
to the Flick corner. This would make
the fountain accessible from all direc-
tions and would be great convenience
to citizens who have to do SO much
walking across the square. Mr.. Heinz
has been awarded the contract for the
concrete work around the fountain.
The band stand is expected to be
completed by October l.

for the purpose Of cooperating with

AGED MAN BURNED TO DEATH
James Kersey, Paralytic, Who Set the
Building on Fire by Lighting His Pipe,
Perished- Four Families Homeless.

Four families homeless and almost
penniless and an aged man burned to
death is the summary of the results
of an awful holocaust which occurred
at the old pottery at the southeastern
edge of Martinsburg between II ana
IL O'Clock Wednesday.
The building, which was stone
and frame structure, was occumed
Jointly by the families of James ker-
sey. john Chrisman and Shell Adams.
white. and Samuel Bailey, colored.
1t was located at the southeastern edge
of town along the railroad leading to
the euarries of the Standard Lime and
tone COMPANY.
Everything goes TO show that 1t was
ct on fire by the aged Mr.. Kersey IN
lighting his pipe. The old man, who
was helpless, was alone in his room IN
the southern section of the building
with no company besides his ever
faithful pipe. Mrs. John Chrisman,
who was in the room above when the
fire broke out, was the only other per-
on in the building at the time. She
heard noise in the room below.
sounding like the old man falling out
of bed, and a few minutes afterward
was Mortified to see flames bursting
through the floor.
Without stopping to put on any
more clothes, she fled for her life,
passing down the stairway, through
the flames and out into the open air.
Her husband and others gathered
round the burning building and
pandemonium reigned for the next
hour Some furniture was carried out
of the northern section of the build
ing, but almost all, including $40 in
gold belonging to John Chrisman,
was lost.
In the excitement Mr.. Kersey was
not FORGOTTEN. Mr.. Martin Young,
who lives near the pottery. broke open,
the door leading into his room and
made an effort to pull him out of the
flames. but he was driven back by the
heat With his face scorched and his
hair singed, he retreated from the
scorching flames and gave up all hopes
of saving him. Several men who
gathered about the burning building
prepared to go in after the unfortu-
nate man, but some one in the crowd
called out that there was dynamite in
the building and caused them to aban-
don the undertaking. Through the
windows and doors of the burning
building the charred body of the old
man could be seen on the debris bat
the crowd was helpless. The flames
defied the throng. Life was extinct and
the body was fast turning to ashes
The fire alarm was sounded at ii 80
O'Clock. The dried tiniter of the am
Gent structure burned 50 rapidly that
the one stream thrown "a the fire did
not seem to have the let effect upon
it. In less than an no, after the fire
started all that was LETT of the build
ing were portions of tic stone walls
and the chimney.

running about the fire brought tears
