Camp, the alleged forger, had made a
success of his attempt at a getaway.
Nothing has been heard concerning
him since his departure from Laurel,
has about given up the idea Of his
capture. It is now believed that in
stead of leaving the train at some
point east of the mountains he con
tinued on to Butte and then went
south over the Oregon Short Line,
with the coast, from where he came,
as his ultimate destination.
The warning given by the cracking
sound emitted by a lot of falling
plaster, which had become loosened
from the ceiling of his Office, saved
Judge Matheson, city clerk, from pos
sibly serious injuries. He was en-
gagged at his desk and heard a slight
cracking noise, but attributed it to
the wall paper, which he thought was
being effected by the heat Of the
room. Almost instantly a louder
noise followed and he vacated his
seat just in time to escape from be-
ing buried under a ton or so of plaster
that landed on the floor with a report
almost as loud as that Of a 13-inch
gun. After the accident the ceiling of
his Office presented the appearance of
having been made the target for a
long range cannon.

S OF SEWERS.
What the Street Commissioner Finds
In Them. u

vvldI Lie oIfVCI COMMISSIONER THUS
" In Them. F
It is surprising to what use many
people of the city adopt the sewer
system. Persons of over average in
telligence find it a convent dumping
ground for cast off clothing, worn
out lace curtains and every other
kind of article that can be carried
into the drainage pipes. l
Street Commissioner Keene in his
rounds the other day inspecting one
of the lines found that drainage had
been prevented by the deposit of a
small brass clock, a tin cup and an
old fork around which articles was
the usual compliment of greasy dish
rags.
And still some otherwise really in
telligent people complain to the au-
thorities that the sewer system is not
as perfect as it ougth to be.

RAISING VALUES.

A recent number of Success has an
interesting article showing what may
be produced from nmber of bars of
iron, one each being placed in the
hands of various mechanics. The
writer says in part:
"The man who takes the first bar
may be rough blacksmith, who has
only partly learned his trade, and has
no ambition to rise above his anvil.
He thinks that the best possible thing
he can do with his bar is to make it
into horseshoes, and congratulates
himself upon his success. He reasons
that the rough lump of iron is worth
only two or three cents a pound, and
that it is not worth while to spend
much time or labor on it. His enor-
! nous muscles and small skill have
raised the value of the iron from one
dollar, perhaps, to ten dollars.
"Along comes a cutler, with a little
better education, a little finer percep-
ton, and says to the blacksmith: is
this all you can see in that iron? Give
me bar and will show you what
brains and skill and hard work can
make of it,
"When his work is done, he shows
the astonished blacksmith two thou
sand dollars worth of knife blades
where the latter saw only ten dollars
worth of crude horseshoes. The value
has been greatly raised by the refining
process.
"Still another workman, whose proc
esses are so almost infinitely delicate,
whose product is so little known, by
even the average educated man that
his trade is ur mentioned by the max
ers of dictionaries and encyclopedias,
takes but a fragment of one of the
bars of steel, and develops its higher
possibilities with such marvellous &C
| curacy, such ethereal fineness of
touch, that even mainsprings and
hairsprings are looked back upon as
coarse, crude, and cheap. When his
work is done, he shows you Few of

THE COST OF A BOY.

I read the other day that it costs
nearly thousand pounds to bring up
a London boy and educate him and
dress him we'll. [ said to myself,
''That is because everything in the
city has to be bought, and living is
high" But I began to study the
thing, and found that even a coun-
try boy costs his parents a good deal.
When you count what a boy eats
and what he wears, and the school
books he must have, and the DOCTORS
bills that have to be paid when he
gets the measles or the scarlet fever,
he will cost his folks at home at least
a hundred dollars year. If boy is
given to breaking things, kicking the
toes out of his boots, and so on, he
costs more than that. So, when I am
twenty-one and old enough to do for
myself, shall have cost father more
than two thousand dollars.
Mother cooked my food, made my
and ironed for me, took care of me
when I was little fellow and when
ever I was sick, and she never
charged anything for that. If she
were dead and father had to pay for
all that, it would cost another hun
dred dollars year more; and that's
two thousand dollars worth of work
mother will have done for me by the
time | am man.
Four thousand dollars for boy!
What do you think of that?
When parents put four thousand
dollars into boy, what have they a
right to expect from him? Is it fair
for boy to play truant at school?
Is it fair for him to play ball, 60
swimming, or hang aronnd town all
the time, when, maybe, his fathers
potatoes are not dug nor the wood
brought in for his mother? Is it fair
for him to disappoint them by swear
ing and drinking? Is it fair to forget
his parents when he has left home,
and neglect to write them a few let
tiers?
l remember a bright young man
saying; "Some of our parents have
put about all the property they have
into us boys and girls. If we make
whiskey decanters of ourselves, they
will be poor indeed; but if we make
good citizens and substantial men
and women, they will feel as if they
had good pay for bringing us up"
Boys, what are you worth to your
parents?

the infinitely bafbed instruments used
by dentists to draw out the finest
branches of the dental nerves. While
pound of gold, roughly speaking, is
worth about two hundred fifty dollars,
a pound of these slender barbed fila
ments of steel, if pound could be
collected, might be worth hundreds of
times as much.
''Just as each artisan sees in the
crude iron some finished, refined
product, so must we see in our lives
glorious possibilities, if we would but
realize them. If we see only horse
shoes or knife blades, all our efforts
and struggles will never produce hair
springs. We must realize our own
adaptability to great ends; we must
resolve to struggle, to endure trials
and tests, to pay the necessary price,
confident that the result will pay US
for our suffering, our trials and our
efforts.'

A Year of PhilanthrOpies.

The year that has just passed was
distinguished for notable philanthro
pies. No less than $123,SS8,7 1872 was
contributed by private individuals to
charitable PURPOSES. Of this sum $6S,
5000 has been given to colleges,
universities, academies, seminaries
and Institutes; $23, 217 40 to charities
of various kinds; SIS, 1888, 700 to libra
ries; 81, 1873, 112 to museums and art
galleries, and $6,298, 4S9 to churches.
The latter sum does not include the
ordinary church offerings, but only
specified sums left by will or present
ed outright. More than half of this
sum has been given by three persons,
as follows: Andrew Carnegie, $42,
SSS, 800; Jane L. Sanford, 100000
and John D. Rockefeller, $2,8S9, $50.
In the list there are % gifts ranging
from 100000 to $50, 900, 900, for va
rious purposes, and 81 gifts to col
leges ranging from 100000 to $50, 900,
900.
Andrew Carnegie is the most con-
spicuous pbilanthropist of the year
and, in fact, of his age. He set up in
1899, 81 libraries at cost of 50, SOB 800
and 10 in 1900, at a cost of $685., 600,
while this year he has planted 1O9 at
cost of $12, 1856, 800, making for the
three years 1852 libraries in various
parts of the country. We are called
money making race. So we are,
but we give AS we'll as make. Our
gratuities grow with our wealth.

Drank Wood Alcohol.

Patrick Cummings, of Rutland died
last week from the effects of drinking
wood alcohol. A phy stefan had pre-
scribed the alcohol for external use,
cautioning him that it would result
fatally if used internally. Cummings
could not re ad the label on the bottle
and he regarded the physicians eau
ton merely as an effort to prevent
him from getting intoxicated and he
drank from the bottle two or three
times and it is believed that he took
about six ounces. He leaves a wife
and seven children, but only two of
the children were dependent upon
him.
ViLdicates Allen.
The United States Circuit and Dis
trict court at Rutland closed last
week. Just before the close of the
term the attorneys for Lieut.. Gov.
Allen demanded the trial of the case
against him. This demand was fol-
lowed by statement from the pros
ecuting attorney that the government
had at present 20 case against Mr..
Allen and he made a statement which
practically vindicates Allen of all
charges against him. He said that
he had not only given the case his
close personal attention, but had en-
ployed Ex-Gov. E. Nj. Ormsbee to
assist him and they could not find
any evidence on which to begin a
trial against him.

they CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in mid-October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow, they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. All! the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid ON men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racling and tearing them still; yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-

LETTER TO A DROWN,
BARTON, VT.

Dear Sir: Suppose you going to paint
house, and ask all the painters there are
within reach to bid on it-you to furnish ma
terials, they to say what to use, and charge
for time and the know how.
How many will use the same paint? They
generally, VIII compound their own paints.
There will be no two alike. And this is th e
end of the notion that painters know how to
make paint.
They know how to put paint on and that is
their business.
They ought to know what 10 buy. How
many of them know what to buy?
blacksmith buys nails, because better
shoes and nails than he make are made
for less than he can make them for-by ma
chinery. WagonmakeIs buy wheels, because
better wheels than they can make are made
for less than they can make them for-by
machinery.
Why should painter make his own paint
when he can buy better for less? We take the
risk of ow it turns out, besides. Devoe lead
and zinc is the paint: lasts twice as long Jas
the average painters paint-lead and oil.
Yours truly,

Fire in st. Louis.


A morning fire Sunday destroyed
the Empire hotel, a large three story
lodging house in st. Louis, occupied
by men exclusively, caused the death
of eleven persons, ten men and one
woman, and dangerously Injured eight
others. 1t is estimated that there
were between thirty-fve and forty
persons in the building, and it is be-
lieved all have bsen ounted for.
1t is thought that $4,000 will cover
the damage to buildings and contents.
Fire in Paterson, New Jersey.
A great fire swept through Pater-
son, New Jersey Feb. 9th and in it's
desolate wake are the embers and
ashes of property valued in prelimi-
nary estimate at $9,O00,0 900. 1t
burned it's way through the business
section Of the city and claimed as it's
own majority of the finer structures
devoted to commercial, civic, educa
tional and religious use, as we'll as
scores of other houses. There was
but small tribute of life and injury to
the conhagration, but hundreds were
left homeless and thousands without
employment.
Against Faith Heaters.
Emperor William is so incensed at
the spiritualistic movement that he
has issued a notification through the
] North German Gazette that all per-
sons in any way connected with spir-
itualists, faith healers, Christian Sci
entisJs, or kindred cults will here
after be rigidly excluded from the
imperial court.
The Rev. Father Faber, cathedral
chaplain and Superintendent of
Morals for Berlin, declares that the
Emperor aud he are agreed on the
necessity of preventing the spread of
Christian Science. Neither of them
supposed it possible to deal with the
matter in the courts of law, but both
were determined to use their moral
influence in their respective spheres
to put it down.
OleOmargarine Bill Passes the House.
The House last Wednesday passed
the oleomargarine bill. There was no
division on the final passage, the
real test of strength having been
made on a motion to recommit,
which was defeated by majority of
81. The provision TO require the in
spection and branding of renovated
butter, which was adopted in com
mittee of the whole, was retained or
an aye and nay vote. AS finally passed
the bill is somewhat modified from
the form in which it was reported
from the committee on agriculture
1t makes oleomargarine or imita
ton butter or cheese, transported
into any state or territory for use
sale or consumption therein, subject
to the laws of such states or terri
tories, Notwithstanding that it may
be introduced in original packages,
and imposes a tax of 10 cents pei
pound on oleomargarine made il
imitation of "butter of any shade O
yellow" when not made in such i'm.
itation the tax is reduced to one
fourth of one per cent. per pound
The second section is intended to pre-
vent dealers, hotel proprietors, res
taurant and boarding house keepers
from coloring the uncolored article
by making any person who colors the
product and then sells, or furnishe:
it to others, manufacturer within
the meaning of the act.
