EXPENSITE TROUT.

James Canning was in city court
on Monday as a result of fishing
trip in Berlin. He was arrested on
a complaint signed by State s Attor-
ney Bailey charging him with having
in his pos session three trout, each less
than six inches in length. Mr.. Can
ming pleaded guilty to the charge and
paid fine of 81, for each of the trout
and costs of 1929. He explained to
the court that he honestly believed
the fish to be of legal length and that
they proved to be only trifle short
On that account the minimum fine
was imposed. Fish Warden John
Hutchinson made the complaint
against Mr.. Canning and Deputy
Fitzgerald made the arrest.
Adolphos Tebo, of Berlin was fined
So and costs of So. 80 for first offense
of intoxication.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

Excitement reigned for few min
utes on Tuesday at about 10 O'Clock
on the square back of the Lawrence
block and In front of p. Badord S
blacksmith shop. d. p. Clark's horse,
which was standing in front of the
paint shop, became frightened when a
pile of sewer pipes, which were piled
near the road, fell down and he start
ed at lively pace toward the bank at
the right and in the rear of the Golden
Fleece. He ran up the bank and
turned around, coming down over a
large rock where he collided with the
rear end of the main part of b. b.
Gales house, smashing the wagon
pretty badly and freeing himself of the
harness. He then started down past
the blacksmith shop and ran into the
milk team of Bert Chase, which was
standing in the rear of Fred Blanch-
ards hardware store. His fore legs be-
came tangled in the spokes of the
wheel-at the same time frightening
the horse ON the milk team, which also
broke away from the wagon and ran in
the same direction the first had taken
a few minutes before, but was caught
before he reached the bank.
The first horse in his endeavors to
get out of the tangle broke one of his
legs just above the knee. Officer j.
Ii. Campbell ran out and jumped ON
the horses head endeavoring to hold
him down but was unable to do so, as
the horse was nearly mad from the
broken leg, so he ordered him shot by
Herbert Kent who was standing near,
armed.
Mrs. Gale was standing near the
rear of her house when the first horse
ran against it and barely got out OF Of
the way in time In her eadeayors
verely. Bert Ohase's team was
smashed pretty badly out of the deal
The square had the appearance of a
bull ring for few minutes.

STOCKING PONDS.

The Hon. W. W. Miles of Barton,
who is in the city to attend the OPEN
ing of the Supreme Court, is not only
one of the most successful lawyers in
Orleans county, but one of the most
successful and enthusiastic fishermen
as we'll, and is deeply interested in
all that pertains to the development
of good fishing in that section of the
State. In discussing this seasonable
topic with Journal representative
Mr.. Miles cited some instances where
stocking ponds has produced some first
class fishing in short time. Speak
ing of Buswell's Pond. small body
of water near Barton, Mr.. Miles said
that as boy he used to fish there and
occasionally captured some specked
beauties but that for the past thirty
years there have been no fish caught
there. Three years ago, however,
some of the fishermen in that vicinity
stocked the pond with lake trout fry
and now they are reaping rich re
ward. On last Saturday a man visit
ed the pond and in a short time land
ed twelve pounds of the three year
olds.
Mr.. Miles also spoke Of May Pond.
one of the most delightful of the
many mountain lakes in that vicin-
ity. For the past six years these
same fishermen have stocked this pond
with brook trout each year and the
result is convenient and almost
prolific fishing resort near at home.
To illustrate the quality Of the sport
found there Mr.. Miles stated that on
May 1, Notwithstanding the unseason-
ableness of the day, one man caught
thirty-two brook trout weighing
twenty -one pounds.
Naturally enough these results
make Mr.. Miles an ardent advocate of
the policy of stocking Vermont waters.
He holds that there is no reaon why
the waters Of Vermont should not be
made to yield fish as abundantly as
the lake and streams Of Maine and
other States and says that he believes
every dollar expended in this way Is
returned two fold.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
rriations, pains, agonies, inhammations, and
swelngs peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
DO not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says:-
81 am O. years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis Fl years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last

~ VA DIAMOND DYES,
Burlington, VT.
SHOT n FRIEND

st. Adams, May ~. By a curious
combination of circumstances. Mr..
Thomas A. Summerskill, superin-
tendent of motor power ON the Yer
mont Central, and Harrie V. Hall,
son of Col. A. A. Hall, each mis-
took the other for burglar, and the
error resulted in Mr.. Hall shooting
Mr.. Summer skill through the body,
inflicting a dangerous wound. The
accident occurred about O'Clock
when the Hall family were aroused
by cries of burglar from Mr.. Sum-
merskill's house which is on the op-
posite side of Congress street.
Harrie Hall Immediately went to
the scene armed with a 38 cailbre
revolver. AS he went up the steps
Of the house large man came out
and attacked him with policeman S
club. Hall succeeding in warding
off the first blow and as the club was
raised for the second he fired strik-
ing the man in the side, the ball pass
ing through the body just over the
liver and Embedding itself in the
wall of the house. Hall then ran
into the street saying I have shot
the burglar - Col. Hall appeared
on the scene just then and it was
soon discovered that the wounded
man was none other than Mr.. Sum
merskill himself who had mistaken
Harrie Hall for burglar.
Mr.. Summerskill entirely exonerates
Mr.. Hall from all blame in the mat
ter, as both were entirely confident
that the other was the burglar. His
wound is dangerous and the surgec ms
say it will be several days before its
effects can be determined. There
were evidences to show that burglars
had been ia the hou,e and the reason
that Mr. Hall was SO conveniently
armed was due to the fact that an at
tempt to enter the Hall house " as
made last Saturday night.

The immigration laws which for
bid the admittance of foreigners
whose physical or mental qualifications
are below par doubtless works a
great good to the country, but some
times it brings untold hardships to the
poor Immigrants. A sad story of this
sort comes from New York. A Ger
man woman, whose husband is en-
ployed in glass manufacturing plant
at Toledo, landed recently. at Ellis
Island with her three children, intend
ing to join her hu sband. The young
est child,a boy of seven years, was a
weakened little creature weighing
only fifteen pounds and was carried
ashore in his mothers arms. Every
effort was made to allow the child to
land but the board of special Inquiry
decided that he must 60 back and so,
after sending her two older children
to their father, the mother started on
the journey across the great ocean
carrying her little one to the Father
land where he will be placed in a
Catholic institution and then the
mother will return to her family in
Ohio.

Of the thirteen missionaries Of the
American Board who lost their lives
in Shausi Province and North China
during the Boxer uprising in 1900,
seven were graduates of Oberlin Col
lege, and two Others resided there
while their husbands were preparing
for their life work. Oberlin is not
unmindful of these martyrs to n
cause which she upholds, and in
memory of them great memorial
arch has been erected at the campus
entrance aud ON Thur sday this will
be dedicated The memorial is not
to the Oberlin martyrs alone but to
the entire thirteen, and five of their
children who persisted with them in
those terrible days. The names of
all will be inscribed on the outer
walls. There are many who have
little sympathy with those who take
their lives in their hands and go to
foreign lands to replace the religion
of the so-called heathens with that of
the more progressive world, but none
will deny that missionaries OF the
Christian faith were as truly martyrs
as those who have given up their lives
on any of the worlds battlefields. and
all will praise Oberlin for the monu-
ment she has erected to their memory.

proposed strike was sympathetic one
to aid the same crafts on the Union
Pacific railroad, who have been out
for more than six months. President
Hartman of the Southern Pacific ex-
hausted his resources in attempting to
adjust the difficulty but failed, and
then Senator Hanna took hand in
the affair and asked the heads of the
shipments unions to refrain from
striking pending efforts Of the FEEDER
alton to bring about settlement.
The Senator request was needed and
the strike which was scheduled for
Monday has been postponed for fifteen
days. The executive committee of
the Civic Federation will meet in
New York on Wednesday and the
Union Pacific matter, which is the
fountain head of the proposed strike,
will be taken up.

MR.. CLEVELAND'S LETTER.

A Georgia editor has written the
Hon. Grover Cleveland letter in
which he asks: Are you now con-
sideIing or would you consider max
ing the race for the Presidency next
year on the Democratic ticket?'' Mr..
Cleveland replied in part a follows :
| can say no more than to assure you
that at no time since the close of my
GUS of carrying the Democratic ban
ner for the fourth time in Presi-
Dental contest.
The one thing that this reply of
Mr.. Cleveland lacks is definiteness.
1t deals entirely with the past and
barely gives hint as to the imme
diate present or future. 1t will be
recalled that Gen. Grants first com
ment in the spring of 1880 was Il am
not candidate for anything, and
If the Chicago convention dominates
a candidate who can be elected l shall
be glad" He also said at that time
All my life have made my decision
when the time for de1i sion has ar
rived. shall not depart from my
usual course Of action. l will neither
accept nor decline an imaginary
thing"
1t may easily be imagined that Mr..
Cleveland is in position similar
to that of Gen. Grant. He cannot
decline a nomination that has not yet
been offered tn him and he has not
made an attempt to do so. Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter is vague and meaningless
and it errects no barriers that would
be an obstacle to the destingui shed
writer's aspirations for third term
in the event of general landslide in
his favor.

NEW YORK BUILDERS STRIKE

The strike of the various building
trades unions in New York city, which
began several weeks ago. has been
growing steadily in Importance until
now thousands of workmen are idle,
a great business interest of the city
has been subjected tu serious loss
and the building industry paralyzed.
Considering the present magnitude of
small matter, and from events that
have since transpired it appears that
the originators of the trouble were ex-
tremely hard up for pretext on
which to strike. The trouble began
when the United Brotherhood of Car
penters declined to work with men,
bers of the Amalgamated CARPENTERS
Association and forbade it's members
to continue in the employ of any
builders who did not agree to an order
excluding the Amalgamated men al
together. The master builders at
tempted to keep going with the CON-
paratively few carpenters who did not
belong to the brotherhood.
This condition was bad enough but
it was made worse by the action of
the United Board of Builders Trades.
This body, having found that it could
not control all branches of the build
ing trades, called upon the Lumber
Dealers Association and the Build
ing Dealers Association to compel
their employees to join the union on
the pain of general strike. These
two associations Immediately declared
a lock out, and they have been joined
by the Mason Builders Association on
the ground that if the United Board
of Building Trades wins its point, it
will completely dominate the build
ing trade of the city and hold all
builders at it's mercy. An odd feature
of the contest is that the two carpen-
ters' associations which could not ex-
list together have patched up a truce
shoulder in the fight against their for
mer employers. In the meantime
building enterprises aggregating val
ne of more than SIT, 900, 600 in build
ings underway are at a standstill at
least 10000 men whose wages aver
age $4 day are thrown out Of employ
ment and every day is apparently wild
ening the breach between the two fac
tions.
The employing associations feel that
crisis has been reached that can only
be met by concerted action on the
part of the employers. They claim
that the unions now ignore agree
ments at will, even the iron workers,
who recently made an agreement with
their employers for year lightning
with May l, have already broken it by
violating provision against going
out on sympathetic strikes. A meeting
OF all the employing associations in the
building trades is to be. held some
time this week for organization. The
meeting will represent more than
$500, DOC, 900 capital invested in build
ing operations and it is expected that
determined fight against union dom
ination will be inaugurated.
