Died Of Smallpox.

A bad outbreak OF smallpox was dis
covered in Rutland Saturday. Miss
Eudora Shattuck, nurse at the Rutland
city hospital, was found to have the
disease and the whole institution has
been quarantined. Miss Essie String
ham was found to have smallpox at
her home on Burnham avenue.
Thomas Riley, his wife and three
children have the disease at their home
on Allen street.
The first two cases developed
as the result of a wrong diagnosis by
practically all of the physicians of the
city. Henry NJ Stringham died May
Sd at the hospital and his funeral was
a public one. The case was diagnosed
by all the doctors as purpura disease
of the blood vessels, but il develops
now that it was smallpox, although OF
a peculiar form.
Miss Shattuck is the nurse who at
tended and Essie is Stringham's sister.
The undertaken who cared for String
hams body is i'll and it is feared has
the smallpox A large number Of per-
sons have been exposed as many OF
Stringham's friends called on him dur
ing his illness. The closing of the
hospital makes a bad condition.

Vermont Farm Statistics.

The following facts and figures are
from the U. S. census report. The
farms of Vermont, June l, 1900, num-
bered SO, 104, and had a value of $685.
OIL ,620, Of which amount S37, PSI ,7l5.
or 44.9 per cent, represents the value of
buildings, and S45, S13, 90j, or 55.l per
cent, the value of land and of improve
ments other than buildings On the
same date the value OF farm nipple
ments and machinery was 81 ,53S. 400,
and Olive stock Sl7 ,S41,3l These
values, added to that of farms, give
Sl0s, 45l, 427 the total value of farm
property"
The products derived from domestic
animals, poultry and bees, including
animals sold and animals slaughtered
on farms. are referred to in this bulle-
tin as "animal products. The total
value of all such products, together
with the value of all crops, is termed
total value of farm products This
value for 1899 was S33, $40, 1872, of
which amount Sl5, 400,613 or 45.9 per
cent, represents the value of animal
products, and SIS, 170,2 79, or oil per
cent, the value of crops including for
est products.
The total value OF farm products tor
1899 exceeds that for 1889 by S13, 205,-
912, or CAS- per cent. A large part of
this increase is doubtless due TO a more
detailed enumeration in 1900 than 1890.
The total land area OF Vermont is
9,13j square miles, or 5,S46, 400 acres,
ofwhich 4,724, 40 acres, or sos per
cent are included in farms.
The number OF farms increased
steadily until the decade 1880 to 1890,
when there was decrease amounting
to S.3 per cent. In the last decade the
number increased 1.6 per cent and in
1900 was l1.2per cent greater than in
1850. The total farm acreage varied
in n similar manner, but the increase
in the last decade was at a greater
rate, amounting to rs per cent. The
average size of farms was greater in
1900 than in any previous census year
in the half century, and the increase
in the last decade was greater than in
any other.

The Reason Why.

VIII the editor of the st. Johnsbury
Republican deny that on several oc-
casions he stated in substance that he
is In this governorship fight for what
there is in it, and would support the
candidate who would pay most liberal
lyP-Lyndonville Journal.
Yes, Sir We do most emphatically
deny it. Look at the absurdity of the
Journals idea. The Republican is sup
porting Proctor. Were the above i'm
plication correct, we ought to be sup
porting Mccullough, for not many
months ago the present editor OF the
Journal, acting as the alleged and ac-
credited agent of McCullough's cam
paign managers, offered us more
money if The Republican would sup
port his candidate than we ever had
preferred us before or since by all the
other candidates for all the offices put
together.
But when he found that The Repub.
lican's editorial opinions were not fol
sale, and that the same thing was also
true of our neighbor, The Caledonian,
he did the only thing left for him to
do, if he wanted newspaper support
for his candidate in this election, and
that was to 90 to Lyndonville and
purchase the Journal.
This is the whole story in a nutshell
The Journals ghost stories are getting
to bequite feature of the present
campaign.-St. Johnsbury Republican.
