County and State Proud of the Brat.
tleboro Fair.
Londonderry Sitter. ]

The fine decorations displayed on Main
street, Brattleboro, and elsewhere in that
beautiful village, evidenced the success of
the enterprise. thrift and taste of its
people in a marked degree. Windham
county has a right to feel proud in the
fact that it holds within its borders a
village so marked by intelligence and
thrift, voiced in clean streets tasty resi-
dences and grounds and fine business
blocks. The state may well feel elated
over the holding within its borders a
town that can, year after year, maintain
a fair that draws people from all over
New England and elsewhere to the
number of twenty thousand and more
and not a fakir or gambler on the
grounds.

Not Finished Its Usefulness.

With $4,000 in attendance last week, the
Valley fair at Brattleboro seems not to
have finished it's usefulness yet. Where
are those people who have been croaking
over the alleged approaching demise of
this long established institution? One
after another of these agricultural fairs
are lifting up their heads in ridicule of
such an absurdity as their being on the
Wane.

FRICTION At THE MINES.
Operators in SchuyIkiI Region Close
Their Galleries.

Wilkesbarre, April 21-Executive
boards representing the mine workers
union of the entire anthracite region
began conference yesterday, the pur-
pose being to interpret various feat
ures of the strike award John Mitch
ell presided. The principal point in
dispute is the Interpretation Of the
nine-hOur day. There has been much
friction over this question and the
matter reached an acute stage yester-
day when the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company shut down
nearly all its collieries in the Schuyl-
kill region by the company's actions.
Another grievance made known last
night is the alleged refusal of Coke
Brothers & Co. in the middle coal field
to permit the miners to employ a
check weighman. The award Of the
commission makes it compulsory for
the operators to employ at the expense
of the miners a check weighman when
ever requested by a majority Of the
men at any colliery. The joint con-
ference will appoint today three persons
to meet the miners on a board Of con-
Citation, as provided for by the strike
commission.

ERIE WRECK FATAL
SEVEN OF THE EIGHT KILLED
ARE UNREcoGNIzARLE
COLLIDED With PASSENGER
Wrecked Train Was Running Between
New York and Chicago-After Col
Ision, Took Fire-Dispute as to
Cause of Disaster-Was One of
Fastest Trains on Erie Line.

Jamestown, N. Y, April 21.-The
number of dead in the Erie wreck
which occurred here yesterday is
eight. Ten persons were injured,
three of them seriously. Only one
body, that of Brakeman Hotchkiss,
has been identified, the others being
burned beyond recognition. The in
jured are:
H. Pulsifer, New York, badly
bruised
c. w. Mesick, Chicago, back badly
injured.
Anna st. Sci, Brooklyn, shocked and
very sick.
H. F. Cleminger, mail clerk, Gerry,
N. Y, ribs fractured, body bruised.
John Drougouan, Duluth, bruised
and badly cut.
Mrs. Foote, eighty years, st. Paul,
bruised and shocked.
S. A. Cooke, porter, New York.
c. S. Johnson porter, Somerville,
N. Y.
H. c. Gabler, express manager, Mar
ion. Ohio, leg cut off; probably fatal
| ly injured.
p? R. T. Bell, fireman, head and back
{ bruised.
The wrecked passenger train was
running from Chicago to New York. 1t
was derailed by striking a freight
train which was taking a siding at
Red House The wreck at once took
fire and the combination car, two day
coaches and two sleepers, together
with several freight cars, were con-
sumed. There is some dispute as to
the cause of the wreck. The passen-
ger train was running east and the
freight west. The freight had trouble
entering the siding and the foremost
engine Of the freight was sent in along
the siding with fiagman to hold the
express. It is alleged the operator in
the tower, Lawrence Vale, boy II
| years old. saw the light of the freight
and supposed the freight was on the
siding beyond it. Vale then displayed
signals toward the passenger, indicat-
| ing to the engineer he had a clear
track. The engineer of the passenger
| train failed to see the Hagman sent
out from the forward engine OF the
! freight and saw only the clearance
signal from the tower. The train ran
toward the east end Of the siding at
high speed and collided with the Sec
ond engine Of the freight just as it
was about to clear the main line. The
! passenger engine and some coaches
crashed into a small wooden structure.
First half dozen cars Of the freight
were wrecked All but three Of the
cars Of the express followed the en-
CINE and the whole mass Of wreckage
was soon in flames. The tracks were
strewn for rods with burning wood
and coal and heaps of twisted iron
work The passenger train was one
of the fastest trains Of the Erie.

WHAT ADVERTISING CAN DO.

Detroit Free Press:-In 1889 P.
T. Barnum, the great Snowman,
journeyed to the Pacific coast
to visit a relative. On his way
back east he stopped at Kansas City
to see the great Barnum & Bailey
show that was then exhibiting in that
city. The then press agent of the
Barnum & Bailey show, Bert Davis, in
trOduced TO Mr.. Barnum the editors of
the local dailies at the formers hotel.
In the course of the conversation
which naturally followed Mr.. Barnum
said: Gentlemen, Mr. Bailey tells me
that my presence at the performances
of the Barnum & Bailey circus is
worth $4,000 a day to the show. If
this is true, it is my name that is so
valuable. 1t is known in every town,
city and hamlet; it has become a
household word throughout the coun-
try. Now, gentlemen, all of this was
done by newspapers, and if advertis-
ing can make a name worth $4,000 a
day, what is it that advertising can't
do?

STONE GETS EXCITED
MISSOURI SENATOR DENOUNCES
THE PRESS.
SAYS LIE Is PROSECUTED
In Elaborate Explanation of His Con-
nection With Baking Powder Leg
isIation Declares He Has Been
Hounded Outrageously - Bryan
Takes Shot at Eastern Democrats.

Kansas City, April 21.-United
States Senator VIM. j. Stone address
ng the annual convention of the Mis-
yesterday made an elaborate explain
ton of his connection with the bak-
ng powder legislation and enforce
ment of state pure food laws. He bit
terly denounced the daily newspapers
of the state, which, he declared, had
"hounded' him outrageously. The
senator labored under intense excite
ment and protested against the perse-
cution to which he had been subjected
by the "scavengers of the press" who
had used the "assassin's methods"
He shouted Before my God fear
them not; l laugh in their faces and
spit upon them"
Stone denied the reports that he
had been in conference with Colonel
Phelps and Lieutenant Governor Lee
since the legislative session had been
begun. He declared he had no part
in the passage of the anti-alum law OIL
1899 and did not know for nearly a
year that it had been enacted. AS a
private attorney he had assisted in the
enforcement of the state pure food
laws and in 1900, when it was pro-
posed to repeal the anti-alum law, he
wrote an argument against the repeal,
but he did not visit Jefferson City.
81 swear to you | never spoke nor
wrote to any member of either house

clared, Il hope every guilty man will

people of Missouri assign me-"
William J. Bryan was a prominent
)eaker. He said throughout the
ountry he found deep and growing
dissatisfaction among the republican
voters with the policy of the admin
istratiOn," and urged his hearers to
keep the democratic party SO different
from the republican, so that in time
of stress people would turn to dem
Ocracy for deliverance." He praised
Missouri for it's prosecution of the
packing houses, and said "the federal
government seems afraid to enforce
criminal law, and prefers the use OF
injunctiOns." Bryan said that some
of the prOfessed democratic papers OF
the east did more harm in four years

of the campaign when they supported
the ticket"

Bill in the Senate.
Madison, April 81

The conference on the primary cleo
ton bill did not meet last night, ow-
ing to the absence OF Assemblyman
Frear. 1t will meet today for the last
time, presumably, and will determine
to make separate reports to the two
branches, the committee of each
branch making its report to its own
house.
There have been rumors to the eff
feet that the administration people
would submit still another bill, being
compromise on the subject of the
referendum amendment of the senate,
but this is not to be verified and the
! information available is to the eff
! feet that the assembly cOnferees are
willing to leave the record stand with
! the persistent refusal Of the senate
conferees to consider any of the six
proffers Of compromise
Argue Salary Bill.
| In the assembly last night the bill
! to raise the salary of the attorney
general from $4,000 to $4,000 and re-
! adjust the salaries Of the other
members Of that department came up
! on the calendar to be ordered to third
reading and engrOssment Assembly
, man Bradford explained that the at
! torney general had been underpaid to
such an extent that the official had
usually attended to the duties of the
Office for only a small portion of his
! time, but that after the raise were
given him he could devote practically
all of his time to the office. Assem-
blyman Barker made objection to the
bill saying the only salaries he was
in favor of raising were the salaries
of members Of the assembly. The
bill was laid over. The aggregate sal
airy of the attorney generals depart
ment would be increased $3.50 a year
if the bill were enacted into law.
In the Senate.
Rev. II. A Miner opened the ses-
sion of the senate with prayer.
The committee on assessment and
collection of taxes introduced a new
bill. relating to taxation Of gifts, in
heritances, requests and SUGGESTIONS.
1t was sent to the calendar. The bill
is an amendment to the law passed
earlier in the session on the same sub
iect, the amendment providing that
contingent interests created by the
will of any person who died prior to
the enactment Of the law shall not be
taxed. This amendment is thought de-
sirable to avoid the charge that the
law is ex-post-facto.
The committee on assessment and
collection of taxes reported as to the
bills before that committee.
Seven assembly bills were con-
Cured in. as follows:
BY committee on lumber and min
ing. authorizing Alvin A. Muck to
