Lake club, who was in Minneapolis to-day,
tried in vain to locate some hockey en-
thusiasts in Minneapolis in order to make
a date for a game in this city, but they
were all under cover. Mr.. Ruhl ex-
planned that as his club has already ar
ranged to play the st. Louis and Milwau-

venient to include Minneapolis in the cir

The club will also endeavor to take on

PUNISHMENT
OF MOVES
Judge Morrow Imposes a Fine
of Cne Thousand
.-.-.. Dollars. ~

Special to The Journal.
San Francisco, CAL, Jan. fudge
Noyes is guilty The circuit court OF
appeals rendered its decision in the fam
Gus Nome contempt proceedings this
morning. Judge Noyes, Frost and Woods
are all declared guilty of contempt Of
court. Judge Noyes is fined $1,000; Frost
is given one years Imprisonment, and
Woods four months. Thomas Geary, an
other of those charged with contempt
was dismissed. He is from California.
The courtroom was about half filled
most of those present being directly in
terested in the case. Judge Noyes was
not present, owing to his severe illness
AT IL Judges Morrow, of circuit court
and DeHaven of district court, took their
seats. Judge Morrow read the decision
1t was written by Judge Gilbert and is in
most scathing terms. Gilbert declared
that a conspiracy existed between McKen-
zie and Noyes, one of the worst that had
ever been known and, because of Noyes'
position, one of the most fragrant crimes
on record. The decision was much like
the one in MckenZie's case.
Judge Morrow conceded with Gilbert
Ross dissenting. Young Frost apparently
did not look for such a heavy sentence
He sat dazed and turned deathly pale
Woods was not present. Those who have
been hostile to Judge Noyes were openly
rejoicing after the decision. They appar-
emily could hardly restrain their joy. Out
in the hall they laughed, shouted, shook
hands and slapped one another on the
back. AS one said: 1--WE have done Noyes
up at last
In the meantime Judge Moves lies at
the Hotel st. Nicholas almost at death S
door. He was suddenly taken with q
severe hemorrhage last Monday and his
condition, while not at first serious, grew
worse Saturday night and Sunday his life
was despaired of. He rallied this morn
ing, talked of the coming decision and
seemed very hopeful. The adverse de-
cision, however, may cause a relapse and
his friends here are prepared for the
worst.

BIG. STAMP SALES
A Gain Of 80 Per Cent in December
RuSinesS.

A gain of 80 per cent is the astounding re-
port of stamp sales for the Minneapolis post
office in December. For the first six months
of the fiscal year the average gain has been
1914 per cent. Last month the stamp sales
were $3.50, Go; for December, 1900, they were
s66, 361.61. The increase Of $20,270,04 is for
twenty-five working days, or about 81, 900 per
day and an average increase of $3.50 per day.
This report is one of regular sales, Post
master Lovejoy reports No extraordinary
purchases have been made by any one. Never
since the early eighties has the percentage Of
gain been so largo. In the boom days great
increases were made, but only in percentages.

LICENSES PAY LESS
Total for 1901 Was 1854 Less Than
for 1900.

The city receipts for 1901 from all IL
cense sources other than saloons show
falling off of 81 ,454 from the figures Of
1900. The total receipts from this source
are s13,378 The decrease is NOSE notice
able in the line Of foot peddlers, junk
dealers and wagon peddlers, toward whom
the mayor has shown exceptional liberal
ity. Many have been allowed to ply their
trades under permits from the mayor
without the payment of any license fee.
The latter day activity in the line of
bowling is evidenced by the fact that in
1900 but four bowling alleys paid licenses,
while this past year there were twenty
four. There was also great boom in
theaters and museums, the number being
fourteen, against five in 1900.

railroad cases growing out Of the Ken
lucky statutes empowering the railroad
commission Of that state to fix rates. The

an announcement covering the several
growing enterprises located therein.
Mr.. Thayer is one of the most success
full men engaged in the newspaper busi-
ness in this state. When he took the
Randolph Herald it was an insignificant
sheet with only 225 subscribers. When
he sold it some ten years later 1t had an
average (for two years. paid circulation
of 1912. He has since been connected
with several influential state papers,
every one of which was greatly i'm
proved under his management and
placed upon a paying basis. He has as
sisted many deserving young men to
start in the business, among them being
F. n. Whitney of the Mortified News,
L. B. johnson of the Randolph Herald,
w. c. Belknap of the Bellows Falls
Times. L. NJ. Hays of the Essex Syndi-
cate, II. c. Whitaker of the Barre Daily
Telegram, etc. Every one of these have
made their papers conspicuous successes
on the lines he laid down.
His success is due to the fact that he
believes in printing all the local news
worth printing, and in keeping in close
touch with the people. He makes his
papers indispensable to their readers.
With the hearty cooperation of the
people of this town we believe that he
can make THE REGISTER indispensable
to the people as the county paper of
Addison county, and a greater success
than any of the many Influential papers
with which he has been connected.
We bespeall for him cordial welcome
to this town and county.

fifty-seven years old can scarcely be con-

On December II, last, the proprie-
tors of Paine's Celery Compound found
the following letter among their mail:
They had no correspondence on the
subject; they did not know Mr. Mus
ham, except by reputation. Like every
testimonial of this great medicine that
was ever printed, it came to them TN
solicited and unsought. The proprie-
tors of Paine's Celery Compound have
never found it necessary to manufac-
ture or edit any testimonial. They have
never found it necessary by any trick
OF advertising to promote mythical
men in far off places to positions
in legislatures or offices that never
heard of them. 1t is the one of all
remedies the popularity of which has
increased on account of what it does,
instead of what it says.
1t appears that Fire Chief Musham,
the head of the Chicago Fire Depart
ment, which is the model Of the world,
has been for forty years in the service
as brave as lion, industrious, cool
headed, with record for fighting fires,
and quite as distinguished for nerve
and generalship as other heroes
upon whom nations have bestowed
public honors for service in no less
hazardous undertakings. Chief Mus
ham, in the spring of 1901, obtained
