The 81 striking teamsters of New
Haven, who have been on trial in the
city court charged with conspiracy,
have been bound over to the next term
of the superior court.
John 7. Kerrigan, chief clerk in the
mailing division of the New Haven
post office, was run over and killed
Monday evening by trolley car. He
had been attending an athletic contest
between Hartford and New Haven
postal employees at Cigar Makers field
and was on his way to his home.
Mrs. William Baxter, aged 80, hang
ed herself and two children, Goodson,
aged years, aud Gladys, aged 3, in
the village of Leroy, n. Y, Monday.
When her husband returned to the
house at O'Clock he found the bod
les hanging side by side from the raft
ers in the attic. The woman had used
a clothesline aud must have admins
tered chloroform to the children be-
fore attempting to hang them. as none

Much interest is taken by the staff
of the board of health in the discov-
cry of Dr. Richard n. Connolly of
Newark, that tetanus germs exist in
the wadding of blank cartridges, and
that many cases of lockjaw are due to
this fact. In view of the fact that In
dependence day generally brings many
cases of lockjaw, the discovery made
by DR.. Connolly is considered very
timely. Heretofore it was generally
believed that the many cases of lock-
jaw following Fourth of July accidents
was due to dirt on the hands of the
victims at the time they received their
wounds.

1t is now announced that the Sena-
tor Proctor agitation is "only bluff, "
and "a great relief from the liquor
question that has been worn thread
bare during the past two years. !"
That's all right for wriggle and it's
true we thought, here in Vermont last
year, that we had worn the liquor ques-
tion threadbare. But that was because
our minds are so little and the subject
so big. We discussed few phases and
what we deemed an issue or two, and
since then we have been surprised by
the appearance of new phases and is
sues undreamed of in our philosophy.
Oh, don't worry about the liquor ques-
ton; the flag end of it may be bit
frayed, but there's plenty more cloth
in the piece.

The Swanton Courier is very much
discouraged over the prospects of a
''new Vermont although it admits
that the idea is good. Sometime, way
off in the dim and distant future, it
allows there may be changes, but at
present cit is pretty. much the same
old state it has always BEEN" And
then it gets down to the root of its dis
content. Even a drink it walls,
"seems to taste better sucked out of a
black bottle in some alleyway than it
does served over bar in civilized fash
ion. The habits of 30 years are hard
to do away with.
They are, indeed. You have our
sympathy. We have never tried a
drink under the fascinating conditions
named, but we do not question your
statement for moment. It's due to
the perversity of human nature. But
the new Vermont is here. and you will
have to make few struggles, if you
want to get into line. It's worth while.

The corn crop of the present year is
estimated at 1900, 900, 900 bushels, if
drought and frosts do not come to cut
it short The reserve from last year. S
crop remaining on farms is estimated
about half the amount above. The
floods in the west had very little effect
in diminishing the expected aggregate.
1t is officially reported that only five
per cent. of the wheat and corn fields
in the counties bordering on the Mis-
souri, river was flooded. 1t formed a
small part of the 80, 900, 900 acres plant
ed to corn.

The recent outbreak of epizootic d

The recent outbreak of epizootic dis
ease in New England was costly ca.
lamity. The live stock in Massachu-
sets was valued at Sl32, 1913, and the
government paid 10 per cent. of its
value. In New Hampshire, $40, 63S. sc
was the valuation of the slaughtered
animals, and 70 per cent. was paid.
Likewise in Rhode Island 10 per cent.
of 50, 591 was paid. In Vermont, how
ever, the affected cattle were bought
outright, and $40, 693.07 was paid.
Thus s119, 1882 was paid for slaugh-
tered live stock alone, in addition to
the expenses of the campaign of de-
struction, in salaries, mileages, etc.
If we add to this the losses caused by
suspension of business, it will run up
into millions.

Hot Milk as a Sfimulaut.

Hot milk is an admirable stimulant.
Dealing with this we'll known fact, the
Lancet states that milk heated toe
much, above 100 = F., loses for time
a degree of sweetness and density. No
one who, fatigued by over exertion of
body or mind, has ever experienced the
reviving influence of tumbler of this
beverage, heated as hot as it can be
slipped, will willingly forego a resort to
it because of it being rendered some
what less acceptable to the palate. The
promptness with which it's cordial in
fuence is felt is indeed surprising.
Some portion of it seems to be digested
and assimilated almost Immediately !:
and many who now fancy they need al
coholic stimulants when exhausted by
fatigue, will find in this draught an
equivalent that will be abundantly sat
isfying and far more enduring in its
effects. This should be taken note of
by all Woodworking people.

Personal With the President.

John Barrett's diplomatic career con
tinues to bloom with the records of

him as too fresh. He steps out of a

minister to the Argentine republic,

exulting tone the fact that a great

The threatened investigation into
Senator Proctor's dealings with the

account of the Montpelier Argus, of
grave import and connection. Speak

that the senator's opponents will seek
to use the matter of the contracts as a
tombstone next year for his political
hopes. But it is not heavy enough to
keen 'em down.
