beats where boxes were manufactured
description OF the box which had con
tanned the dynamite accompanied the
order.
There was discussion as to what pun
ishment could be inflicted on the per
sons who sent the machine General
Burnett, United States district attorney,
said that the case would not come under
his jurisdiction. as all matters OF public
safety were In the purview of the
States. Unless the dynamite had been
actually shipped, the offenders would
not come under the Federal laws, and
even then ne would have to wait until
complaint was made Commissioner
Greene was not worried about the pun
lshment question.

The brass button which formed part
OF the mechanism is also being traced.
Undoubtedly Dynamite
Superintendent Murray. of the bureau
of combustibIes. said that there was no
doubt as to the dynamite. as he had
suffered from headache for several
hours from testing it. He than explain
ed that after handling dynamite the eff
feet of the component parts-nitric acid,
sulphuric acid and glycerine-was to
cause severe headache, and sometimes
nausea. 1t was. he thought, more than
30 per cent nitroglycertne. stronger than

AIDS INVESTIGATION
OF SILK SMUGGLING
John Mclean, of Consular
Service, Here.
IRREGULARITIES UNCOVERED
Has Saved Much Money for the Gov
ernment-Diplomatic Promo
ton Probable.

John Mclean. vice and deputy consul
general of the United States at Yoko-
hama, Japan. is at the Arlington. He
did not register and has diligently kept
himself under cover from the newspaper
men.
Consul Mclean came to Washington
under orders from the Secretary of State.
While both officials decline to state
the object of the consurs visit, it is
known he is here TO report to the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury and Assistant
Secretary Armstrong concerning the
smuggling of Japanese silks into this
country.
Here Since Last Fall.
In fact, Consul Mclean has been in
the United States since last fall working
in San Francisco. New York. and along
the Canadian border He has been
resident of Yokohama ior twenty years.
and is thoroughly familiar with the Jap
anese silk business.
The consul was seen this morning and
asked concerning the result of his long
investigation.
He declined to tell, but stated ne was
here on special business under orders
from Secretary Hay. He spent all of
yesterday in consultation with Assistant
Secretary of State Loomis and Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Armstrong.
That his work has been satisfactory and
the consul will soon start for his post is
known by his having engaged transpor-
tation for the first week in June.
japanese Silk Smuggling.
For years the Government has been
the victim of bold japanese silk SNUG
glers- The goods were shipped prin-
cipally to New York. where they were
sold. Special customs agents have been
working for a long while on the case
and number of arrests viii soon be
made. Until Consul Mclean worked on
the case, progress was slow.
1t is said today that his excellent
work for the Treasury Department will
bring him promotion in the State De-
partment. 1t is estimated the Govern
ment has lost several million dollars in
customs.

RATIONS FOR DALEY co US.

Farming, to be successfully carried
run in business-like way. Econo-
mic problems confront the successful
business man in any vocation. and the
farmer who gives the greatest time
and attention to the correct solving of
all economic problems relating to the
management of his farm, will be the
one who is most successful. One of
these problems is the most improved
method Of feeding dairy COWS to OBJ
tain the best results. There are a
good many farmers and numerous
dairymen who give the matter of feed
ing but little thought. Rations are
poured and forked out to the COWS
with no thought as to the economy of
the thing. Not every farmer is a
chemist and but few know or have
any means of knowing the chemical
constituents of the several rations used
on the farm for feeding the COWS. A
few simple rules can be laid down
to bring good results. In feeding a
milch COW two things should be taken
into consideration these are to feed
the COW such rations as will keep up
her strength and keep her in good con-
dition. and at the same time produce
the greatest amount Of milk. There
are many things that could be fed a
COW that would make her fat. but
which would not produce the milk as
some other ration which might keep
her in good condition and also bring
milk in abundance
1t is to be admitted that it is not
practical nor convenient to weigh out
the feed for the COWS each meal time :
however, it is matter of economy
to measure ont their rations in correct
proportions. This is easiset accom-
plished by measures the weight of
whose contents have been previously
determined.

lSHOT BY MISTAKE.

Plymouth, N. H.. Feb. Capt.
George H. Colby of Plymouth was
shot and killed early this morning by
Officer Mills
The story is as follows: Thomas
McGough, the night operator at Ply
mouth turned in his chair about 1. 10
last night to find two masked men
covering him with revolvers Being
taken at disadvantage McGough
could do nothing, the money drawer
was ransacked and the burglars es
capped.
McGough gave the alarm and Capt.
Colby was notified of the robbery. He
quickly boarded shifter with En-
gineer Smith and started up the p.
V. branch of the Boston u Maine to-
ward Campton village. When they
reached Livermore Falls Colby stopped
the engine near the pulp mill and got
out. In the meantime Engineer Pike,
of the Cannon Ball, hearing of the
burglary, took Officer Lewis @. Mills
and started by team in the direction
the burglars had taken, arriving at
the pulp mill where Capt. Colby had
dismounted from the engine. 1t was
dark and Officer Mills, taking Colby
for one of the burglars, fired foul
shots from his revolver, one of which
proved fatal.
1t was soon discovered that Mills
had made mistake and the wounded
man was taken to the conveyance il
which Mills had come and driven rap
idly toward the village. Mr.. Colby
died before they reached the house.
1t was a sad mistake, but Officer
Mills is exonerated from all blame as
he was doing his duty as he supposed
Mr.. Colby had been station agent
in Plymouth for eighteen years ant
was paymaster of the New Hampshire
National Guards. He was about sixty
two years of age and leaves widow
and four children. He will be remem
bered in Montpelier as the man who

SHE DID NOT POISON.

Boston, February, 1.-The grand
jury today reported no bill against
Miss Catherine V. Richardson. who
has been held by Judge Bosom of
Chelsea on the charge of attempting
to poison her mother, Mrs. Harley
Richardson.
This case created great interest in
Vermont as the accused woman was a
cousin of Secretary of State Fred G..
Fleetwood of Morrisville, and at the
time of the preliminary hearing in
Chelsea he was present and assisted
her, and later he was appointed her
guardian. The Richardson's were
formerly residents of Concord. VT. g,
and Littleton and Woodsville. N, H..
After the death of Miss Richardson S
father few years ago, she removed
with her mother to Massachusetts,
Mrs. Richardson became violently i'll
a few weeks ago, and poisoning at
the hands of her daughter was sus-
pected. After hard legal contest
Miss Richardson was held for the
grand jury on the charge of attempt
ing to murder.

ACQUITTED THIS TIME.

4, Reading, Pa. Feb. 7.-The jury in
the trial of William H. Pratt. who
was tried for the second time for the
murder of his wife, returned verdict
of not guilty this morning. The case
against Pratt was circumstantial.
In July 1901 Mrs. Pratt was found in
her home with bullet hole in her
head and her throat cut from ear to
ear. The defense at the first trial
endeavoredsto prove that Mrs. Pratt
committed sucicide, but Pratt was
convicted. In the last trial the jury
declined to accept circumstantial ev-
idence as proof of the woman's muir
der.

MESA gle OF THE SNO W.

IT'S a glorious winter morning, and the
world lies still and fair;
There is joy in every sunbeam, life
and vigor in the air.
From the dim and mystic cloudland,
hurrying, scurry ing through the
night,
Came the snow with silent magic,
robed the earth in bridal white;
Touched the brow of yonder noun
tains, gave them tossing plumes of
rhine,
AS they stand, like natures sentry, on
the battlements of time;
And upon Earths pulseless bosom
spread its ermine, snug and warm,
Folded in each tiny rootlet from the
ravages of storm;
Then through all the naked forest sift-
ed flakes of crystal down,
Over tree and shrub and thicket hung
this matchless winter gown,
busted every tangle with its diamond
powder puff,
Gave to fence post, stump and boulder
each spotless swans down ruff;
Filled the empty last y ar's birds nest,
hung with tassels white and green
Every pine tree, spruce and cedar
filled with velvet in between;
~
where in June the birds hal sung,
With artistic skill and fancy long fes-
ICONS of feathers hung
Till my "Idlewild" of summer, by
this white magician's power,
Was transformed anew created into
winters crystal bower.
Long | gazed in silent wonder at these
pictures of the snow,
Full of beauty, full of grandeur, pure
and fair as earth may know;
This my thought; so joys of sum
mer,
| have mourned and missed you all,
And my heart has ached with sorrow
through the weary months of fall
For my life lay drear and ashen like
the hopes of youthful years,
And | watched each days declining
through mist of yearning tears
Yearning for the sweets departed, for
the singing hopes of June,
When the summer fields and forests
found my heart in perfect tune.
Now, while all the winter landscape
is a miracle of white,
And the sun mounts up unclouded,
Jewels flashing in its light,
Let my heart still sing its peans, sing
in faith and hope and trust,
Sing as sing the birds i'll Junetime,
sing because so glad / must;
Sing because a world of rapture filings
its trophies at my feet,
Sing because l know Jehovah fashions
all His works complete.
For, since He hath given to nature all
things beauteous in their time,
He can weave my life with beauty to
its destiny sublime.

ADTANTAGES OF HOTBEDS

/ The hotbed and cold frame are in
separable from the thoroughly
equipped kitchen garden. | often
wish that mine were the pen of "a
ready writer, then l could convince
the people, or some, at last, what
rewards the garden has in store for
those who till it we'll. How much
easier to till the garden and the
small fruit plot, and grow fat on their
bounties, than to pay the doctor
bill. True, these are not a charm for
all the ills of life, but the doctor
bills will generally decrease in pro-
portion to our patronage of these
home industries. Three times $3.50
times a year the tired wife and
mother must rack her brain to figure
out the bill of fare for the next meal.
Very often, too, with but scanty
margin on which to figure. The veg
etables and small fruits in plentiful
and constant SUPPLY would often
Tighten these burdens by half. Then,
too. there is financial side Of thi +,
question. / like to talk of this also,
because it is money earned in an
honest and clean way. Money earned
in the way that God first hallowed
and blessed, and gave to man as a
means of livelihood. From all sec
tions of the country letters come to me
as to some means of earning pin
money, or, perahps, a part of or the
whole of living. To such answer

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, jaundice, constipa-
tom and inactive livers, by arousing
the secretions, moving the bowels
gently, yet effectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the glands
of the stomach, liver and bowels, that
the cause of the trouble is removed en-
tirely. These famous little pills exert
decided tonic effect upon the or
gans involved, and if their use is con-
tinued for few days there will be no
return of the trouble. Rivers Bros.
