MAKES CLEANUP
BY MEANS OF A SPURIOUS CHECK

Frank Ramdohr is out of pocket
just Sl10 as penalty for being overly
kind hearted. He is too honest him
self to see guile in others, but he is
wiser now than he was twenty-four
hours ago.
The fact of the matter is, a check
for the sum alluded to was forged,
Mr.. Ramdohr endorsed it and the First
National Bank paid the money
This crime was perpetrated by a
slick individual who gave here the
name of 0. T. Moore, but he has others,
plenty of them. Moore drifted in from
Reno some days ago accompanied by

The Most Valuable Part of the World

The Most Valuable Part of the World.
The highest-priced land In the
world is that bounded by Wall and
Broad Streets and Broadway, in lower
New York city. A spare foot of
ground on corner of Broadway and
Wall Street can not be had for less
than four hundred and fifty dollars.
The most expensive land in London
sells for three hundred dollars a
square foot. The average price of
land in New York city's financial dis
trict is about one hundred and
seventy five dollars. Next in the
scale comes the woman's shopping
district from Fourteenth to Twenty
third streets, on Sixth Avenue, and
from Thirty y-fourth Street to Forty
second Street, on Broadway. Here,
land ranges all the way from sixty
dollars to three hundred and fifty
dollars square foot. On the north
west corner of Broadway and Thirty
fourth Street the latter price was
obtained. The real estate man who
can tell the future movements of pop
ulation on Manhattan is in a position
to realize fortune. The growth of
Brooklyn and Jersey city has checked
the movement of the population
north, and it is said the most valua-
BILE land on Manhattan Island will
always remain south of Central Park.
The lower half of the island will soon
have nothing on it except office
buildings, factories, and tenement
houses.-Success.

Killed by Train.

Samuel Shepard, who has been
working for T. D.. Haughy at West
Jay, as cook in his lumber camp, went
TO East Richford Monday, and got a
check cashed at the office of L. Baker
& Sons, and started to go to Glen
Sutton. When about one mile south
of East Richford he was run over by
the Canadian Pacific express and
killed.
Quarries to Close for Lack of Coal.
A despatch from Poultney to the
st. Adams! Messenger is as follows:
"Several of the slate quarries in this
and adjoining towns did not open as
usual this morning for the lack of
sufficient coal to keep the machinery
in operation. There seems to be very
little prospect of obtaining a supply
of coal in the near future, and it is
probable that before the end of the
present week all of the remaining
quarries in this vicinity will be
obliged to close. This will mean
great hardship for large number of
the residents of the town, as the ma
jority of the families here are sup
ported by wages which their male
members receive from the slate COM
panies and many of the families have
very little money ahead.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1902-12-29

Prices still rue high and only small
quan titles can be obtained in the
cities. Many vessels are engaged in
bringing coal around the cape to Bos-
ton, and the harbor is choked with
shipping for which there is lack of
wharfage facilities.
Sad Tale of the Sea.
A terrible story of shipwreck and
suffering comes from the coast off
Boston harbor. Two large scbooners
laden with coal were trying to make
the port last week Wednesday even
ing when they collided. The crews
saw that the vessels would speedily
sink and took to small boat, after
losing six of the men, who went down
with the ships. The survivors had no
water or provisions and were driven
for three days and half out to sea
by wintry gale. Four perished and
another went insane and walked
overheard to his death. Sunday, the
drifting boat was sighted by the Man
basset and the survivors were taken
off and were brought into Boston.
They were almost dead, from cold,
starvation, and hardship.
Want Roosevelt as Arbitrator.
The prospect now is that the powers
involved in the trouble with Vene-
zuela will urge President Roosevelt to
act as arbitrator of the differences.
This government has sought to have
matters submitted to the permanent
tribunal of the Hague, but Great
Britain and Germany replied by ask
ing President Roosevelt to serve.
The presidents desire is not to do
this, as he realizes that his decision
would be apt to offend one side or the
other, but he will not shirk what may
appear to be duty. The purpose of
the powers is to hold this government
in way to require the payment by
Venezuela of the award, whatever it
may be. The powers have announced
a complete blockade of the Vene-
zuelan coast against vessels of all
nations and are seeking to bring
Castro to terms. The Venezulan
president is relying on the good offices
of the United States.

HON. s. NJ TAYLOR.

In this issue of the MoNTICEL- LoNIAN will be seen the an nouncement of Hon. $. NJ. Tav- Tor, of Pine Bluff, Jefferson coun- ty, who H a candidate to repre- sent the new Sixth District in the Lower House of the Con gress of the United States. Mir. Taylor Is one of the foremost lawyers in the District, besides being one of the most affable and high-toned gentlemen. He is a man of experience, a finished scholar and a brilliant orator, and, If elected to Congress, would immediately take front rank with the country's states men and patriots. He served the people of his Judicial District for three terms as Prosecuting Attorney, giving entire satisfae- tion, and then retired on his own volition. He has been chosen as Presidential elector on the Democratic ticket, and made a most effective and brilliant campaign for his party He was sent, by the State Convention, as one of the delegates to the National Democratic Conven- tion, at Chicago. and was a potent factor in that great body which nominated the Hon. W. J. Bryan, for President of the United States. He is thorough ly in accord with his party on all the great cardinal priciples 1; and is a gentleman who is in ev- eryway worthy of the votes and the confidence of the people.
 To him, perhaps. more than any other single man, is due the nomination of our own honored and honorable fellow county man, Judge Carroll D. Wood, for Associate Justice of the Stu preme Court of Arkansas, for his first term. It was Mir. Taylor who presented Judge Woods name to the Convention and the nomination speech was so forceful, so eulogistic and full of warmth and devotion to the cause of his friend, as to win the

FACE THE TRUTH IN THE PHILIP
 PINES.

Governor General Taft of the Philippines, now just arrived from Manila and on his way to Wash lngton, confidently declares that the civil government established by us in the Philippines is a suc- cess and that amicable relations with the Filipinos will soon be generally attained.
 Assuredly the facts in the case do not justify this rosy optimism of the Governor General. They tend, instead, to more firmly con vince the student of the situation, not only that American civil gov ernment in the Philippines is as yet failure, but that 1t promises to be failure for many years to come, if. indeed. it is ever success fully established. The national spirit of the Filipinos is one of re- volt against American authority. The spirit Is exactly that which was felt toward Spain. For gen erations the Spanish Government fought in vain to subjugate the people of the Philippines. We are more than likely to duplicate Spain's experience
 The strong arm of the American military alone is all that maintains order in the Philippines, and this only at powerfully garrisoned points. The islands are still in re- bellion. We would as we'll look the truth squarely in the face. If American civil government of the Philippines were attempted, the American army of occupation be- ing materially reduced, the result would be American disaster and wholesale tragedy. There is no present indication that this condition will ever change. The holding of the Philippines and the forcibie government of their people means mili- tary, not a civil, government.

THE MAN AND HIS PROFESSION

When stranger makes his ap- pearance in town or community, about the first question that is ask ed about him is to what profession or calling does he belong. When his family seeks recognition in their appropriate circles, inquiry is first made as to the respectabili- ty of the occupation which he either follows or pretends to fol- low. This inquiry rarely, if ever, begins with his moral or personal worth. If he belongs to high toned profession, or even a ques- tionable calling in which manual labor is not required and is able to dress up in purple and fine linen, he passes right on into the upper ten circle. It does not make much difference as to the vagueness of his conception of the intrinsic dis tinctions between "meum and teum' or if the force of a personal obligation, so long as he may be able to go all of the fashionable gaits of the social procession. We may be an old fogy. but t is alto gether impossible for us to sup press our double and twisted con- tempt for such cattle. On the oth- CT hand, the man who makes an honest living by muscular effort in an industrial pursuit, is not esteem ed worthy of social recognition by the leaders of fashion. It matters not what his moral and religious character may be, if his hands are soiled and horny, and his clothes do not fit him, "he is not in it'' Tn social point of view though his name at the bank may be as good for anything he wants as that of a Gould. Indeed too much consider ation is given to the profession and the outward show and not enough to personal merit.-Greenville (Tex as) Headlight,

Those farmers who are fighting Senator Jones because he is con- nected with the roundlap cotton companies seem to have forgotton the time they were fighting "Old Jute" a few years ago. It was their antipathy to the Jute Bag ging trust and the Compress trust that inspired Senator Jones to fos- ter patent on press that would successfully wrap cotton in cotton cloth and dispense with the grasp ing compress companies. He be- lieyed, as he still believes. that he was benefting the cotton growers of the south. It's a fact that round bales sell for better price and it costs less to handle them than the old style bale; then how can 1t hurt the cotton growers?- Chronicle Eenterprise.
