TO STOP FRAUD.
Government inspectors Make Syste-
matte Effort to Stop Land
Frauds

Government inspectors have
taken up a permanent residence
in Pierre and Chamberlain, to
put a stop to fraudulent home-
stealing, intentional or other
wise, and hundreds of claims
have already been cancelled as
obtained in bad faith, costing
the filers from $50 to 5000 each.
Government land locaters are
charged by the inspectors with
fraud in representing to prospec-
tive claimants that it is not nee
essary to reside on the land after
taking claims, when, as matter
of fact, homesteads can be Sc
cured without residence only by
perjury. In two days at the
Chamberlain registery Office, fifty
nine claims were cancelled.
To combat the invasion of gov
ernment officers, the professional
locatsrs have organized . protsc'

Hicks Forecast for July.

On Friday and Saturday the Attn
and 5th, moon is at her extreme dec
lination north, in perigee, and at
new moon. These facts added to
other existing causes, foreshadow
warm wave of great intensity, a low
state OF barometic pressure, a high
per cent OF atmospheric humidity,
and some wicked storms Of thunder,
wind rain and hail. Those most in
terested should make all practicable
provision against destructive. hail
storms at this and other storm peri
DDS during the Nensus disturbance.
Some of the most disastrous hail
storms that ever visited the central
and northwestern sections, occur
during astronomic combinations sim
liar to those existing through storm
periods in the first half of July.
Such visitations need not be unlocked
for by any reader Of these forecasts,
about Friday the 4th to Monday the
9TH. Change to quite cool for the
season may naturally be expected on
the heels Of these disturbances.
The 10th day Of July is not strict
ly within the limits Of storm period
but it is the date on which the moon
crosses the celestial equator, and is
covered by the combined influences
Of the Venus and Mercury periods.
hence the reactionary storms due
about the nth to 18th, will most
probably develop on and touching
the 10th. Excessively warm wealth
er will exist prior to storm culmina-
tons at this time. The opposition
OF the planet Saturn falls on the nth
and unless frequent and general
electrical storms occur to break up
the concentration Of solar energy, a
prolonged term OF intensely warm
weather will continue through all
the central part Of the month. It is
to be hoped that the three great
planets. Uranus, Saturn and. Jupi-
ter, have since the summer of 1907,
separated far enough from each
other, to divide the concentrated
stream Of solar energy through
which cur globe then passed. Or
10th, the date Of the fatal and devas.

passed between Uranus and the Sun.
On July 18th, we will pass between
Saturn and the Sun, and on August

and great Jupiter. This sexrexatee

the weight of his testimony to
disprove that tenacious myth that
the Philippines were in revolt
when he reached Manila.
Regarding his assertion that
the city of Manila practically sur
rendered to him the question nat
urally suggests itself, why it was
necessary for so many Americans
to lose their lives IN taking the
city subsequently if all the Span
ish commander desired was to
have few shots fred to save his
honor. But the admiral's testi-
mony corrohorates the stories of
soldiers that the fighting inciden-
tai to the American occupation Of
Manila was due to the unfortu-
nate actualization of what was
intended as mere play.
How much the Filippinos,
Aguinaldo included, owe to the
Americans for the success of their
rising against the Spaniards, and
how little the Americans owe
them is abundantly proved by
Admiral Dewey's testimony.
The Admiral puts it we'll when
he describes them as ungrateful.
That is what they were. We did
not turn against the Filipinos.
They turned against as.
1t is plain that Dewey was very
diplomatic in his relations with
the F>ilipinos and recognized
them in no way except as persons
who had the same enemy that the
Americans had. If Dewey had
not fought the battle of Manila
bay the Spaniards would still be
ruling the Philippines and Agui-
naldo would still be in Hongkong
or somewhere else earning the
money he was paid for keeping
away from the Philippines.

to keep the fires lighted in the

which actual residence is not

for cancellation.

Notes.

Speaker Merrifield will not an
nodnce the House committees until
Tuesday morning. Unlike some
speakers he did not have the commit
tees made up in advance, and he be-
lieyes that one of the best ways to eX-
pedite the business of the session is
to use proper care and the necessary
time in preparation. There is lively
demand for the best committee places,
and especially for positions on the
temperance committee. 1t is general
ly expected that McFeeters of Enos-
burg will be chairman of the judiciary
committee and Bailey of Newbury
chairman of the House section of the
joint committee on temperance.
The contest of Charles H. Davenport
of Brattleboro for the seat in the
Senate held by G. d. Spencer of Will
mington will be decided promptly.
Senator Mayo of Washington Wednes-
day afternoon introduced a resolution
providing for recount of the votes.
This was seconded by Senator Spen.
Ger himself, who declared that he and
Mr.. Davenport agreed and both wished
to have right rule in the matter. The
resolution was unanimously adopted
AS soon as the Senate committeeon
elections is appointed the votes will
be called for.
1t is now stated that the Dummers-
ton contested election may not be
brought before the House, though the
papers are here in the possession OF
Representative Houghton of Putney.
Representative Edwin p. Adams OF
Marlboro occupies the same seat he
has held down the three previous SEES
sions that he has been member OF
the legislature. Representatives Gale
of Guilford and Houghton of Putney
were also lucky in getting the same
seats they had two years ago. Mr.
Porter of Wilmington did not get his
old seat, but secured one next to it
Seat No. l is held by Mr.. Jones OF
Dover.
Samuel Ames, the demented Shafts
bury man, who imagines that he is
entitled to seat in the legislature
arrived at the state house Thursday
and declares that he is ready to sub
NIT to the will of the majority but
thinks it hard that he should be sc
long deprived of his rights. He has
been. here now every session but one
since 1886. He also journeys to Wash
ington at the assembling of every SEES
sion, imagining he has been elected
to the United States Senate.

The Londonderry House Burned.

The Londonderry House in London
derry, owned by A. c. Gibson and
mother, Mrs. julia Gibson, was burned
about midnight last night with prac-
tically all OF it's contents. The loss
was about $4,000. Mrs. Julia Gibson
and Mrs. A. G. Gibson were in the
house when the fire broke out, but
were awakened in time to escape safe
ly, but they lost nearly all of their
clothing. The fire started in the
wood she'd but no theory has been ad-
vanced as to its origin. A summons
was sent by telephone to the fire de-
partment lat South Londonderry, and
the company responded promptly, six
horses dragging the hand engine the
intervening distance in a short time,
but the fire was so far advanced that
although the company did fine work it
was impossible to save the building
or its contents. The hotel recently
had been put in first class repair and
was credit to the village. It was

lrelana's Population DECREASING.

The recent census of Ireland shows ma rked
decrease in its population, which has been
largely attributed TO the famine throughout
the island, causing the death of thousands of
people, and forcing many Others TO emigrate.
This brings TO mind quite forcibly the abso-
lutte necessity of having plenty of good food if
we would prolong life, but after all it is not a
question of the amount eaten that makes the
people strong and healthy, but the way il is
digested. Dyspeptic people cannot enjoy their
meals, and consequently always feel de-
pressed, irritable and nervous. They should
try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at once. II is
specific remedy for fiatulency, belching, in
digestion, dyspepsia and nervousness, and is
backed by record of fifty years of cures. Do
not experiment with unknown remedies
when the Bitters will cure you. The genuine
must have our Private Stamp over the neck
of the bottle.

A BIG sWINDLE.
Alleged to Have Been Carried on
Through the Mails by South Wal
Iinqford Man.

A Rutland despatch says that what is
asserted to be one of the biggest swim
ding schemes ever practised in New
England, eliminated wednesday in the
arrest of Charles w. Norton of South
Wallingford, by Postoffice Inspector Ell
mer l.. Kincaid of Boston. and Deputy
United States Marshal +. IL. Chapman
of Rutland. Norton is charged with
using the United States mail for fraudu-
lent purposes. He was arraigned before
United States Commissioner James A.
Merrill of Rutland, but because of the
inability of u. S. Dist--Atty. James l.,
Martin of Brattleboro to be present, the
case was continued until next Tuesday,
when the federal court sits at Rutland.
Norton is held in 5000 bail
The charge against Norton Is based on
voluminous evidence gathered by a Rut-
land collection agency, and an attorney
into whose hands have come for the past
few months many complaints from diff
ferent sectionsyof the country that Nor
ton had secured from them merchandise
by fraudulent means By purporting "a
be proprietor of an immense department
store. he has obtained credit all over
the country. and 1t is charged that he
has bought within five years goods
amounting TO $4,000. for which he never
paid a cent.
Norton in reality has no business al
ALL ii is alleged. but worked his blum
game by means OF elaborate letter heads
and circulars. setting forth that he dealt
largely in merchandise of all kinds. and
even stocks and real estate. He even
got an order for an 5000 automobile filled
by Boston firm. His principal aim was
to dispose of diamonds and jewelry at
private sale.
Chief Inspector Evans of the post office
department says Norton apparently
worked both ends of his string. He
would buy hay up in the country, and
sell here in Boston, for instance. never
paying for II. Then he would buy goods
of various kinds in Boston, and else
where, and sell to other parties. He
did his buying and selling all by mail,
and IL is on account of the buying that
the present complaint is brought.

Some Entertaining Letters.

The letters have been published in the
Rutland Herald during the past week
which relate TO the suit brought by
l.. C. Sturtevant of Weybridge against
Gen. Mccullough to recover money al
legged to be due for campaign services.
The first letters date back to last De-
cember, when Edward L. Bates of Ben
nington wrote to Mr.. Sturtevant asking
him to get as exact information as pos
sible' on the gubernatiorial question in
the towns in his county. Last spring,
as the campaign began TO warm up, o.
NJ. Barber wrote to Sturtevant, urging
him not to ''let any trouble come up at
Weybridge now" From letters which
follow 1t appears that Sturtevant did
such work as was asked of him, and
then began to clamor for his pay. Mr..
Barber evidently thought Sturtevant's
demands were large. for he asked him
courteously in several letters for an
itemized statement, and promised to see
him satisfied" Sturtevant thought IL a
reflection on his honesty that he should
be asked for this itemized statement,
and finally addressed a personal letter
to Gen. Mccullough. This letter was
answered by Mr.. Barber, and then Stur-
letter to Mr. Barber in which he says:
II can't see what you can be surprised
about in my bill. because l done the
business and got the voters just the same
as / did when you hired me for McCul-
Tough when he run against Smith four
years ago. ! done then what 1 done now,
and you didn't kick against my BILL"
Sturtevant then protests that he is not
to blame IL other men did wrong. one of
whom, he says, went and tried to buy
men for Mccullough just as he'd buy
sheep, and 1t got lots of them mad"
In conclusion Sturtevant says:
Now here is the account just as took
1t from my diary. To save any more
waiting I want to explain about two or
three charges. The $50 Leggitt' was
for furnishing and bringing four men and
myself from Middlebury. Help of two
men, band"-they were to work the fell
lows in the cornet band. The $11 charge
l put cash In the diarys, as 1t was for
rum / called 1t medicine in one or two
places where the amount was not so
much. l don't want any more bother Mr..
Barber but want my pay by next Tues
day.
Following this letter was an itemlzed
statement of his bill, amounting in all
to about $3.50. On this Sturtevant claimed
asbalance due of $2177O.
To this letter Mr.. Barber answered:
Il shall be very busy until after the
legislature has organized and begun work
l viii take up the matter then and I
think you will not have occasion to find
very much fault with me-"
A Burlington despatch to the Rutland
Herald Tuesday evening stated that Stur-
tevant had brought a libel suit of $4,000
against the Burlington Free Press, on
the charge that the Free Press had de-
nounced him in a libellous way in con-
necnon with his suit against Gen. Nc
Cullough.
