The Removal of the County Seat.

The following item is taken from our
Newfane correspondence:
A private message from Brattleboro
informs us that a secret meeting was
held some night week before last
Brattleboro lawyers being the leading
spirits at which time plans were for
mulated to put up big fight in the
coming legislature to change the coun
ty seat from Newfane to Brattleboro.
We predict that the band of legal fra
ternities after spending their wind and
money will find that they have the
same obstacle and receive the same
verdict that they did in 80. ="
\ few weeks since a meeting was
held in Brattleboro of 20 or 30 men all
of whom were among the leading citi-
zens and heavy taxpayers of the town.
Three lawyers were present; all the
Others were business men. The meet
ing was entirely informal and was made
up of those interested in the question
of moving the county seat. Ii l. Ger
tain that strong effort will be made
at the coming session of the legislature
providing for the removal of the shire
to Brattleboro upon such conditions of
aid from Brattleboro as shall seem to
the county to be Just and fair. 1t is
believed that large majority of the
population of the county favor the pro
ject.

PUTNEY CONCERN GOES UNDER.
stowell Manufacturing Company Placed in the

Pay Note of $50 900 Signed by a Number
of Putney Men-Has Been Losing Money
Since the Kelley Failure.

Applications filed March y were
granted yesterday by Chancellor j. NJ.
Tyler for the appointment of Temporal
ry receivers to take charge of the Stow
ell Manufacturing company of Putney,
and the concern has been placed in
charge of G. L. Pierce. c. ". Adams
and DR.. f. s. Munger. The applica-
tion was at the instance of a number of
Putney men who signed note with
the company foI $50. 000 at the time of
its financial embarrassment Il few years
ago and took a mortgage on all the
real estate as security. Since that time
the company has continued to lose
money steadily and the signers of the
note thought best to bring the affairs
to a close.
The Stowell Manufacturing company
was Incorporated in 1855 with capi
tai of SIS, 600 for the manufacture of
toys and wooden articles. such as
chairs. tables. etc. In 1887 the capital

DAN O'NEIL RETURNS.
Gets Back to Brattleboro After an Absence
of Three Years in China and the Philippines
Was Member of the Chinese Relief Expe-
dition and Afterwards Did Garrison Duty
on the Island of Samar.

Dan O'Neil reached Brattleboro Sat
urday after an absence of something
over three years, most of the time hav-
ing been spent in the Philippines and
China as a member of ID company.
Ninth United States Infantry. He is
in splendid condition and contemplates
re enlistment after short time spent
hereabouts.
o Neil, who was member of l com
pany, First Vermont volunteers. dur
ing the Spanish war, enlisted in the
regular army at Springfield, Mass. in
February, 1899, only short time after
he had received his discharge from the
volunteer service. He went from
Springfield to Madison Barracks, n.
Y. and left there in March for Manila
with his regiment. For about II months
after the regiments arrival the time
was spent in quelling the insurrection
in and around the city. In June, 1900,
the regiment started for China as a
part of the Chinese relief expedition,
taking part in the fight at Tien Tsin
and aiding in the relief of the be
sieged ministers al Pekin. After 10
months police duty in the city of Pekin
O'Neil returned with his regiment to
Manila and was afterwards sent down
to the island of Samar where he re
manned as a part of the garrison of the
town of CatbOlan until February of
this year. He arrived at San Francis
co March II on the transport Sheridan
and received his honorable discharge
at Angel Island March 20.
O'Neil has seen more active service
than any other Brattleboro boy with
the exception of Michael J. Sherry who
was in A company of the same regiment.
He participated in numerous skir
mishes in addition to the engagements
in China but passed through them all
without a wound. The report circu-
lated at the time of the siege of Pekin
to the effect that O'Neil had been
killed was due to the fact that another
member of the company with the same
name was killed in that engagement.
There were three men by the name of
O'Neil in ID company and the one who
was shot was Dan ". O'Neil of Bos
ton. To a representative of The Re
former O'Neil said that he thoroughly
enjoyed his life in the army and was
in good health during the whole time
His stay in China was the most enjoy
able of the three years. principally on
account of the good food which was
given the soldiers there. Game, eggs
and vegetable of all kinds are exceed

KING JoLLITY TOO JOLLY.
Z. Wales Comic Opera calses Much Trouble
in the Town of Webster Mass, Over the
Question of Tights and Short Skirts Church
Members Object to Costumes and Many
Young People Withdraw at the Last Mo-
ment

The town of Webster. Mass. is di-

comic opera which is owned by Elijah
Wales of this town and which was to
have been given in Webster this week
for the benefit of the Universalist
church. Accompanying the despatch
are three half tones of some of the
young women who have parts in the
opera showing them in the costumes
which have caused so much trouble
In the words of the despatch the
great question which has stirred the
town from centre to circumference is
that of tights and short dresses
When the opera was first planned the
idea was to include in the cast people
belonging to every religious denomina-
tion in the town A large number of
the leading society people took part in
it., and many of the most beautiful
girls in town appeared in the chorus
and the various groups of dancers.
singers, etc.
But after the rehearsals got under
way and the members appeared in their
costumes, the trouble began There
was mighty protest against the tights
and short dresses in which the pretty
giIls of the chorus appeared. and
against the abbreviated costumes of
others in the groups Some of the
more staid and conservative church
members professed to he scandal
lied. - This trouble was followed by
another. Some members of other
churches objected to people belonging
to their congregations taking part in
the performance. this feeling being
more especially manifested in the Cath
Ollie parish. The result was that some
of the people in the cast began to with
draw from the performance.
The stage directors mandate that
none of the girls in the chorus should
wear skirts less than II inches above
the ankle created much CONSERVATION
among some of the more conservative +
church members and caused two or
three modest damsels to abandon the +
troupe.
