MORE ABOUT FISH HOGS"
The Breed Seems to be Increasing About Spof-
ford Lake and the Law Must be Asked.

1t is very evident that If Brattleboro
people have any wish to fish there, and
catch any, it would be we'll to end this
discussion.
The unkhead Fish Hogs of Brattleboro have
come 10 grief trying to boycott and bulldoze
New Hampshire laws. Their funds are ex-
hausted in telephone bills, and not penny left
to defray expenses of midnight carousals over
stolen fish before the ice was scarcely out of
the lake. When thev send their eeneralissamo

There are no lakes in New Hampshire named

Spaford and its name has never been changed,
and any one spelling the name wrong show
theil illiteracy and want Of geographical knowl-
edge. If the iunkheads will look over some of
the histories IN the BrattleDorO library they
NAV get some useful information. There is
talk of drawing off the lake and exterminating
the bass and stocking with land locked salmon
that can defend themselves against this buccan-

tages from Brattleboro will be fumigated when
they have been gormandized and gorged on
stolen fish. Good sportsmanship, All parties
must look out for Sunday fishing and hunting
or they will go to Concord on the fly to learn
good sportsmanship. 1t is not known that

NARROW GAUGE POPS UP.
BAD WRECK YESTERDAY NEAR WARDS
B0R0 AND SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.
Cars Ran Into Brand New Rail and Found
tan Impossibility Scenery Badly Damaged
by Distribution Of Kindling Wood = All
Aboard Shook Hands and Thanked God.

As If in protest at recent notoriety,
a mixed Narrow Gauge train coming
down the line yesterday afternoon, and
due here at 15 o'clock, got excited at
Wardsboro, 26 miles up the road from
here, and in the argument two heavily
loaded box cars carrying lumber left
the track without a moments notice
and jumped into the scenery near by.
The rest of the train, which on the
start was composed of nine freight and
one passenger car. came together with
bang that case hardened bumpers
and made every blind rattle for miles
about.
After the collision an inventory was
taken and it was found that George
Wells, shoemaker of No. "a Elliot
street, Brattleboro, who was passen-
ger, had been badly hurt. He was in
great pain and was made as comfort
town. DR.. Cole of Newfane attended
him on the way and Drs. Pratt and
Gale were called on arrival. There are
no broken bones or wounds. but it is
feared the mans spine is seriously in
jured. The other passengers escaped
injury, even a scratch, and they sol
emnly shook hands and thanked God for
His mercy.
No reason is offered for the accident
save that the cars were rounding
always bad thing to do on the
Narrow Gauge. and some of the rails
were new and slippery. The roads
damage will be $50 for the cars and
lumber and whatever Mr. Wells makes
up his mind TO charge for the disturb
ance to his system.

in the ball room did not diminish. To
record the pledges made on this inter

are some things that newspaper can

Guests, hundreds of them, gathered
in the spacious parlors towards s

tion committee: Misses May Goodhue,
Elizabeth Tuttle, May Spear, Mary
Frost, Frank Eckles. Fred Spencer,

The Narrow Gauge Fight.

Seemingly, at the very outset, there
is sparring between the legal lights in
terested in the fight over the question
of receivership for the Narrow Gauge
railroad. The hearing was first set for
last Saturday, in Montpelier, before
Judge Watson of the supreme court.
Then postponement was made until
Yesterday. Now, a further continu-
ance has been granted until Tuesday
next at 10 O'Clock. 1t appears
to be difficult to determine which side
is begging for delay. but it is ,appar-
ent that the plaintiffs-the applicants
for the appointment of receiver
have their case very we'll in hand, for
they are prepared to submit about 80
affidavits substantiating their claims
that the present management of the
road is in violation to public interests
and at variance with traffic demands.

have also been suspended in a similar
way.
1t is reported that these five men
were, two years ago, employed in the
transportation department, and now
they have been at work in the motive
power department. To go from one
department to another in the roads
service it is required that a man must
have clean papers from the department
in which he has been employed. 1t is
understood that some Irregularities
two years ago have not yet been
cleared up and so these suspensions
have been ordered. The men on va
cation are all popular and their friends

Marrow Escape of Hinsdale Millhand.

A workman by the name of Smith,
who is employed in Robertson's paper
mill at Hinsdale, met with quite Sc
rious accident early Monday morning.
His clothing was caught in the ma
chinery and he was drawn in and but
for the presence of mind of one of his
fellow workmen who stopped the ma
chinery, would have been crushed to
death. As it was his clothing was torn
off and he sustained severe bruises. al
though, fortunately, no bones were
broken.

Severe wasbouts on H.r.&w. Road.

The recent storms caused three Sc
we're washouts on the Hoosae Tunnel
and Wilmington railroad, all between
Monroe Bridge and Hoosac Tunnel.
The worst break was at the head of
the state dam where big landslide
occurred and entirely obliterated a
long section of the road bed taking the
track along with it. In making the re-
pairs large amount of crib work will
be necessary, which makes it long
job. Many accidents and washouts
have occurred on this road during the
past two years. The board of railroad
commissioners inspected the road only
the day before the storm.

LAND FOR HOME SEEKERS.

The Los Angeles Times in a recent
editorial on the subject of the public
lands, gives the following very sensi-
BILE advice to congress:
"At the present rate at which the
public lands are being absorbed by
private acquisition, for speculative
purposes, every available acre of the
public domain will be taken up with
in few years, leaving no more land
for actual settlers. Attention has re-
peatedly been called to the evils of
the existing land laws. 1t is the i'm
perative duty of congress to take such
action at the coming session as will
remedy these evils. What is left of
the public domain should be reserved
for actual settlers-persons who will
go upon the land to remain there and
make their homes. This is true, in
particular, of the arid but irrigable
lands, of which there are still some
millions of acres. Now that the gov
eminent has entered upon a scheme of
national irrigation it is incumbent
upon the government to protect
against improper absorption the lands
which are to be brought under irriga-
ton. Unless this be done and done
promptly the principal object of the
national irrigation act will be de-
/ feated.
What is chiefly needed is the repeal
of the laws known as the Timber
and Stone Act, the Desert Land Act
and the Communication clause of the
Homestead Act. Under these PERM
cious laws most of the abuses com
planned of have grown up. The one
thing that congress should keep stead
lily in view in this class of legislation
is to reserve for actual settlers the re-
manning area of the public lands.
/ The laws should be so framed and
safeguarded that not an acre of public
land can pass from government to pri-
vate control unless the title goes to a
ptIsOn WIN 10 " ldhO
residence upon the land and to re
main upon it for a period of not less
than five years. With such law as
this strictly enforced and all conflict
ing laws repealed the remaining por-
tion of the public domain would be
pretty sure to go,as it should go, sole
~ to home seekers.
Congress will be culpably derelict
in its duty to the people if it fail, at
the coming session, to take up this
matter and provide the relief which
the exigencies of the case clearly de
mand. The national irrigation move
ment is we'll started on the way to a
magnificent success. Under its pro-
visions millions of acres of heretofore
worthless land will be brought under
water, and consequently under culti-
walton. These vast areas should fur
nish homes for many thousaHsi Of
contented and Fr-sT Crous People.
Such was the intent q &c law. and
such will be the result ii congress
does its duty in the premises.

SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS.

Since the girls of our public schools
have been given instruction in sewing,
through the generosity of Mrs. Hugo
Richards, many parents have become
imbued with the idea that instruc-
ton for the boy ia manual training
would be equally practicable. The
matter has been discussed to a consid
cradle extent among many of the
member of the Monday Club and the
club has decided to mother the move
ment for raising funds for the equip
ment of such work in our schools.
Their idea is that each boy should be
taught the use of tools in wood work,
that some variety and relaxation from
text book studies may be afforded
and so that habits of accuracy may be
acquired and that our boys may re-
ceive a wholesome respect for all
forms of intelligent manual and phys
zeal labor
The movement for manual instruc-
tion is becoming general all over the
country, and the work is already in
successful operation in many places.
The Journal Miner hopes that the
efforts of the Monday Club may be at
tended with signal success.
