The Connecticut River Dam
Possibility.

Every Brattleboro resident will read
with lively interest the text of the
charter of the Connecticut River
Power company, which is printed in
full in this paper. The project Is one
which holds greater possibilities for
the future growth and prosperity Of
Brattleboro than any which has ever
been undertaken or suggested. II is
cause for congratulation that the in
ltial work has been SO wisely done
that the charter gives the corporators
every needful right and privilege with
out having aroused antagonism from
any source.
II will require a large amount of
money to protect the property of all
the interests which the dam would af-
feet, as the provisions of the charter
rightfully provide. But in a work OF
this magnitude, with the necessary
financial interests once enlisted, the
money thus required will simply
figure as one necessary item in the
grand total. It will be noted that the
interests of Brattleboro and the out
lying country have been carefully pro
tected in requiring the company, when
formed, to furnish first of all, If de
manded, power for street lighting, fol
street railway purposes, and for pump
ing water for fire purposes.
The project is essentially that con
ceived and actively champloned by the
late ex-Gov. Fuller and his associates
but, in the intervening years, manu-
| featuring conditions have been greatly
simplhed by the development in the
use of electricity for power purposes
doing away with long lines of cana
to carry water to different mills, ant
| permitting in their place the manu-
facture of all the power at one centra
station and It's distribution thence
by electric wires to any point neal
or far. There Is much work Il
be done, and many contingencies to b,
met before the project can become {
reality, but the first step has been sue
cessfully taken, and courage and en-
ergy and helping hand are now thu
three essentials for us of Brattlebort
in relation to this enterprise.

1.-THE Two Sisters"

This famous play by Denman
Thompson and George w. Ryer has,
after few seasons retirement been
almost entirely rewritten by its dis
tinguished authors and Is announced
for representation In Brattleboro Sat
urday Dec. 20. "The Two Sisters" is
play which elevates the stage and
the auditor. II does not pail upon
one, but can be seen with just as
much pleasure second or third time
as the first. 1t Is play which grows
on one and each succeeding season
should make it's popularity increase
In fact no play written the past fifty
years has made so profound an impress
sion and it's return to the stage will
be hailed with delight by the lovers
of dramatic offerings. It's cast and
equipment on this occasion will even
excel the remarkable excellence of its
former productions.

The Democratic Primdru
.@< Attracted Little interest

One would scarcely know that a po-
Iitical party was holding it's primaries
in the city today much less the Dem
ocrats. The absence of a contesting
ticket took the vim out of the pri-
maries and made them simply a matter
of form.
The polls were opened at II o'clock
this morning in a sample room of THE
Windsor hotel, On Church street. The
inspector of the day was C. A. Elliot.
C. S. Wilson and W. S. Bartlett acted
as judges, and J. K. Gooding and G. Fl.
Tully as the clerks. The voting was
also light, owing to the single ticket
Some 13$ ballots were cast up to 4

Luis Moreno, the we'll known
freighter, was locked up in the county
jail last evening pending his trial for
insanity. A large number of wit
nesses appeared before the probate Judge
today, and the general opinion was
that the man was insane. He was one
of the marshals during the Mexican
carnival, and it apears that the excite
ment unbalanced his mind. He has
been in this state before, but recov-
cred. He becomes very violent, and
it was thought best to lock him up.
The probate judge ordered him to be
taken to the asylum, and he will leave
under guard this evening. His trouble
is thought to be only temporary.
The good work of the Chamber of
Commerce is beginning to bear fruit.
Not only is the body advertising the
old pueblo abroad, but it is also secur-
| ing many advantages for our mer-
chants and doing general good for the
community. 1t will be remembered
that the board took up the matter of
registered mail from this city and
southern points having to go via Los
Angeles to reach Phoenix and points
north. This was great inconveni-
ence to the public, and the department
was appealed to with good results.
Postmaster Corbett received notice this
morning from the chief railway mail
clerk advising him that clerk will be
placed on the run and that all regis
tered mail will now 60 via Maricopa

The Farmers SUCCESS De-
ponds Upon Freedom from
Disease and Suffer-
ing.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
IS THE MEDICINE THAT HAS MADE
THOUSANDS OF COUNTRY
TOILERS WELL AND
STRONG.

There are thousands of farmers in
our land who are rich in broad acres
and gold, yet lack that true wealth
known as good health.
Tt is a melancholy fact that men and
women in the country districts, breath
ing the purest air and drinking from
Gods bubbling fountains and limpid
springs, are liable to the same dis
eases and ailments that come thick
and fast to city people. We find
rheumatism, neuralgia, debility, dys-
pepsia, kidney and liver troubles and
blood diseases almost as common in
the farmers family as they are in city
homes.
Paine's Celery Compound, Heavens
best blessing to the farming commu-
ity, has done more for the Punishment
of dread disease and THE building up
of health than all other combined med
icines. Mr.. John Zuspan, prominent
and we'll known farmer Of Middleport,
Ohio, writes specially for the benefit
Of sufferers in the rural districts. He
says:
Last November was so badly
crippled up with rheumatism, which
came on in June, that / could hardly
walk without the aid of crutches or a
heavy stick. ! About THE tenth of No
vember I commenced taking Paine's
Celery Compound, and after using four
bottles was completely cured, and
was able to attend to my usual work

A TRUE SAYING.
Most Men, Dig Their Graves with

The wrong kind of food fills more

The Rev G. M. Lodge of Iowa City,

EffuIgent Hope.

Since bards have sung adown the
stream of time
That none are wise who follow hope
sublime,
l thought I'd wisdom prove, and sage
Would close my heart, NOR with the
STRIPPING vie;"
But found my heart I'd closed 10 all
of life
The flowers, the joys, and all Of pleas
ure rife;
And cen Ike suISEine and the yerdanE
May
Seemed but foreboders of darksome
day. ass
scarcely thought that 1 had had a
grief,
But found my sullen nature sought
relief
In hoping fo1,dly that I did not hope
Yea, in the thought I found 1t Joy to
grope,
And at the feet of blissful hope had
lain
My pleasures down, lest should flava-
the pain
Of disappointment, bleeding, naked,
crude,
And thought l followed but the path
to good.
But low see twas dark and drear
and dread
And savored only of the silent dead:
For while there's life there's hope-or
there should be-
Unbounded, deep, and like the surging
sea,
Which never tires and never lacks IN
vim,
An emblem fit and beautiful of Him
Who has commanded hope; yea, He,
our friend,
Has said that we should hope unto
the end.
Then sweet, o sweet, the wisdom Of
the wise
The sage is he who with undaunted
eyes
Sees hope, sees youthful hope, or near
or far,
And makes of it through life his
guiding star,
And plucks, whene'er he can, the fra
grant rose,
Or CLEANS with earnest hand the flower
that blows.
Then ope, my heart, unto hopes shin
ing rays,
And joy sublime shall brighten all thy

Old Pueblo Recognized
In Railroad Orders,

The railroad company has finally
recognized the just demands of Tue
son, and the Chamber of Commerce is
largely responsible for the favorable
action. Tucson has ben discrim-
mated against for some time in the
matter of passenger rates from eastern
points. Tourists were unable to buy
round-trip tickets to this city, while
Phoenix enjoyed the privilege and ben
Gifted thereby. The Chamber of Com
merce took up the matter with the S.
P. company, and letter was received
yesterday saying THAT all general
passenger and ticket agents, at Kan
sas City, st. Louis, Memphis, New Or
leans and Chicago had been instructed
to sell round trip tickets to Tucson.
The circular is as follows:
To General Passenger and Ticket
Agents: Gentlemen-Owing to the
marked advancement of the city of
Tucson, Arizona Territory, it being the
largest city in that Territory and the
distributing point for large section
oe the surrounding country, we desire
that it should be placed on the same
footing as Phoneix as regards repre-
sentation in folders and advertising
matter; also in the sale of round trip
tickets issued by our connections.
| We will therefore be pleased if you
will place on sale at your earliest con-
venience, round trip tickets carrying
the same rates and conditions an those
which are in effect to Phoenix.sk These
rates are: From Kansas City $65
from st. Louis, Memphis and New Or
leans SIT, and from Chicago $S5.

Dreciated. Very truly yours,

Backmaug Suit Germany Brings Out the Fact That American

a noble woman residing in Berlin who
undertakes to obtain wealthy wives for
army officers, saying that if she had
a titled officer in active service Tor
an American fortune of s7.50OOOO to

Eissler in communication with Baron
Won Muenchhausen, who is lieuten-

The baron, according to statements

bills Eissler realized money in Berlin
from a number of groups of persons,
including Pincus and the two Mendels-
shons, and Baron Won Muenchhausen
was provided with the cash with which
he paid the expenses of his journey to
the United States.
Eissler's partner in this adventure
was a lady's maid who had been
formerly in the service of the rich
American woman referred to by Eiss-
Ter. She preceded the baron to the
United States to negotiate the mar
riage but her efforts were unsuccess-
full. The name of the heiress in ques-
ton was not disclosed in court. Baron
Won Muenchhausen did make the
acquaintance of Martha Washington
Beckett. a widow of moderate wealth.
whom. according to the German peer
age, he married Dec. %, 1898. Since
his marriage the baron has been liv-
ing with his wife on his estate near
Schwoblon, Hanover.
On his return TO Germany Baron Won
Muenchhausen had to reckon with the
holders of his bills. A compromise
was negotiated with Pincus and the
Mendelssohns, who surrendered his
paper on the payment of small sums
Baron Won Muenchhausen afterward
accused these men of blackman and
the matter was thus brought into court.
Pincus and the Memberships were
acquitted of the charge.
