10 towns and cities in Massachusetts,
with an average population of less than
1000 where the government licenses is
sued to places unlicensed by state law
were greater in number than all the gov
eminent licenses in Vermont prior to
February 3, the town agencies excepted.
He said that he had offered reward for
single authenticated instance where a
man with license ever complained of
a ''speak easy" He said that there is
no record of any such thing in the
United States, and that the argument
that the licensees will keep the I'M
licensed places closed is unfounded.

the fellows without licenses the latter
would see that the town went dry on the
following year. He said that the peo-
pie of Bellows Falls would discover that
having license law does not reduce the
number of unlicensed places in the least
He said that one licensed place in Bel
lows Falls would send more money out
of town in a single month to purchase
liquors where it would never come back
than would be required to fill all the
jugs coming into Bellows Falls under
prohibition in year.

J. H. Holton Will Go to st. Adams.

j. II. Holton, during the past three
years the capable and popular general
manager and treasurer of the Bellows
Falls & Saxtons River Street Railway
company, has rendered his resignation
to take effect not later than May 20. Mr..
Holton will go from here to ST. Adams,
where he will be general manager and
treasurer of the St. Adams Street Rail
way company. This road runs to St.
Adams Bay and Swanton and has u
miles of track.
Mr.. Holton's management of the local
road has been marked success and the
company financially and in every other
way was never in such good condition as

for the occasion with cut flowers. Not
withstanding the unfavorable condition
of the weather quite number of the
parishioners and friends from the other
parishes availed themselves of this OPP
portunity to greet Mr.. and Mrs. Hooper
and family.
w. B. G. Stickney of Bethel, repre-
senting the Valley railroad, was in town
Monday and was approached by the rail
road committee of the Board of Trade.
A proposition was submitted regarding
the depot situation and it is expected
that by next week some definite agree
ment will have been arrived at. The
railroad attorneys consider the matter as
good as settled now so it seems likely
that a compromise will be effected with
out any difficulty.

legally be built and to report at an adj
journed meeting to be held in Banquet
hall on the evening of May q.
1t was voted to pay E. l. Kilburn SIS
for making the plans, this amount to be
deducted from the contract price pro-
viding the hall is built and the contract
is given to Mr.. Kilburn.
The question for providing suitable
dump for rubbish called for fully as
much time and attention as did the new
hall. A. Fl. Brown thought that Article
16 of the village bylaws authorized the
bailiffS to procure suitable dump for
rubbish, but Moderator Weston said that
it did not. E. W. Brown wanted to know
if there wasn't highway leading from
the Square to the waters edge by the
mill of Frank Adams & Co. f. A. Bodies
said that there used to be highway
there but he did not know the exact 10
cation and did not know living mortal
who did know. n. G. Williams made
motion that the bailiffs look up suit
able place, find what it can be purchased
for and report at the adjourned meeting.
On motion of DR.. Kirkland the motion
was amended so that the place selected
shall be approved of by the state board
of health. II. D. Ryder said that DR.. II.
D. Holton of the state board was in town
10 days ago and he asked him if there
was any objection to dumping into the
Connecticut river. The doctor said there
was not if there were proper restrictions.
Mr. Ryder said that he understood that
there was an existing highway leading
by Ira Earls, across land occupied by
the Casein company and leading to the
waters edge. He did not know but
what rubbish might be taken to the
river that way. A. II. Brown said that
if tin cans were dumped into the river
there would be howl from the farmers
down the line. f. w. Brown said that
his firm had been dumping on D. D.
DriSlane'S farm. DR.. G.. II. Gorham said
that in Brattleboro all refuse was taken
to the island and there burned by the
parties taking it there. He thought
place might be provided where a similar
program might be inaugurated in Bel
lows Falls. Matter that could not be
burned could be buried. The meeting
then adjourned for two weeks.

Too Little Advertising,

Colonel Albert A. Pope has again be-
come the head of the Pope Manufacture
ing company. Three years ago his COM
pany was merged in the American BIZ
cycle company, trust which went into
the hands of receiver last September
Colonel Pope takes what is left of the
trust and will build up a new business.
He attributes the failure of the Ameri-
can Bicycle company to lack of adver-
Using. In an interview he said: ''In the
first year of its triumphal march it be-
gan to salt away money for its stock
holders by cutting down its advertising
using what one of its officials likes to
call the condensing method Next year
it gave some more wringing twists to the
compress of it's condenser. During the
year just closing it compressed its adver-
Using almost to the vanishing point, and
in all these years its business skrunk in
direct proportion to the shrinkage of its
Advertising"

Give the Carpenters a Show.

EDITOR TIMES:
notice an article in the TIMES OF May
I signed by L. /. Kilburn of Bellows
Falls, written evidently with the fnten-
ton of dealing deadly blow at the
9-hour day for carpenters. Why are not
they entitled to the same as other trades
and also the same as their fellow trades
men in other states and even in their
own state. In nearly every village OF
any size in Vermont nine hours is all
they ask of carpenters on Saturday while
in Bellows Falls they are worked the full
ten hours. Now if every carpenter in
Bellows Falls were to be discharged
today, they could all find employment
within "a hours within a radius of 20
miles of that place at as good or even
better pay than they receive there. Bel
lows Falls is not the only place on the
map nor is Kilburn the only contractor
employing help.

Saloon Not Wanted in Saxtons River.

Saxtons River, VT, May II.
EDITOR OF TINE TINES:
In your issue of last week the state
ment was made that the board of license
commissioners of the town of Rocking
ham was to hold up one license for the
new hotel in Saxtons River. While l
realize that the new hotel has not yet
arrived l would like to give public ex-
preston to my opinion that the major
ity of citizens of SaxtonS River are per-
fectly willing that Bellows Falls should
have all of the licenses to which Rock
ingham is entitled under the law. 1t is
needless to call the attention of the pub
lie to the fact that our business will I'M
doubtedly be injured by the introduction
into this village of saloon, even in con-
nection with hotel. Whatever Injuries
the business of Vermont academy would
directly affect the village of Saxtons
River. If there were no other consider
alton why license should not be grant
ed here this would be of sufficient i'm
portance, but there are other reasons.
No one can question the fact that an
open bar will attract to the village avery
undesirable class of people. AS we have
for long period of years enjoyed al
most absolute immunity from the evils
attendant upon the free sale of intox' =
eating liquors every right minded citizen
desires that that condition shall con-
tinue. If, under the new law, the question
of having licensed saloon in Saxtons
River could have been submitted to
those who are directly concerned, and
who would be most affected by it, | am
sure that the sentiment of the commu
nifty would have been overwhelmingly
against such departure from the tradi-
lions of the village. 1t is to be hoped
that the board of license commissioners
will bear in mind, in the granting of new
licenses, that the present sentiment of
the citizens of SaxtonS River is decided
ly opposed to the granting of a license
for the village.
Sincerely yours,
EDWARD ELLERY.

merons friends in Bellows Falls, Saxtons
River and Westminster Although the
appointment has not been made it is
supposed that c. II. Copley will be the

SPECIAL CORPORATION MEETING.
Report of Committee on City Hall Con-
STRENGTHENING Adjourned for Two

A special corporation meeting attend
ed by $50 or more voters was held in
Banquet hall Monday evening. The
principal business was the hearing of
the report of the special committee APP
pointed at the last annual village meet
ing to report on the ACCESSIBILITY ofbuild-
ing new city hall and engine room.
After the call was read DR.. G. II. Cor
ham reported for the committee. He
said that plans had been drawn by E. l.
Kilburn and were in the hall and could
be seen by any desiring. He explained
in detail what the plans called for. E.
E. Keefe wanted to know what the
building was going to cost. 4. II. All
bee, a member of the committee, said
that Mr.. Kilburn estimated that the cost
would be $4,000, exclusive of electric
lights. He himself thought 1900
ought to pay the bill. II. D. Ryder said
that there was some question as to
whether the village could legally con-
struct building. The village charter
says that the village can own only ST5,-
600 worth of real and personal p. operty.
A. II. Brown said that he had seen as
good lawyer as there was in the state
and that the lawyer had told him that
the village could not increase its prop
erty holdings over SIS, 1000 without going
to the legislature. g. A. Weston said
that the village now owns s150,0O0 or
100000 worth of property and he
thought that the village could build a
new hall if it wanted to. 1t was finally
voted to instruct the special committee
to ascertain the exact cost of putting
up the building and as to whether it can

WHAT IS CATARRA ?
Hyomei cures this Common and Dis
agreeable Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing IL into the air passages
and lungs. 1t kills the germs of catarrhal
poison, heals and soothes the irritated
mucous membrane, enters the blood with
the oxygen and kills the germs present
there, effectually driving this disease from
the system.
If you have any of the following symp-
toms, catarrhal germs are at work some
where in the mucous membrane OF the
nose, throat, bronchial tubes or tissues OF
the lungs.
offensive breath discharge from the
pain across the ewes stoppage of the nose
pain in back of the at night
head aching of the body
pain in front of the droppingS In lne
tendency nehG to take cold mouth 1 open while
burning pain in the sleeping ,,a
throat tickling back OF tne
hawking to clear the palate
throat formation of crusts In
pain in the chest the nose.
a cough dryneSS OF the throat
stitch in side in the morning
losing of flesh loss of strength
variable appetite spasms of coughing
low spirited at times cough short and hack
Gus cough worse nights
expectorating yellow and mornings
matter loss in vital force
difficulty in breathing a feeling of tightness
frequent sneezlng across the upper
husk1ness OF voice part of the chest
Hyomei will cure the disease, destroy
activity of all germ life in the respiratory
organs, enrich and purify the blood with
additional ozone, and after few days use
of this treatment the majority of these
symptoms will have disappeared. In few
weeks the cure will be complete.
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot exist
when Hyomei is used This is strong
statement, but G. n. Shaw at Andrews
drug store emphasizes it by agreeing to
refund your money if Hyomei does not
cure.

Charles F. Atwood.

The funeral of Charles F. Atwood of
this place was held at Woodstock
Wednesday afternoon of last week at
home of his sister, Mrs. R. D. Ransom.
Mr.. Atwood was a native of Barnard,
son of the late Harrison Atwood, and
lived on the homestead in South Barnard
until after the death of his father, May !,
1896, when, in settlement of the estate,
the farm was sold, and later Mr.. Atwood
went to Bellows Falls, where he fol-
lowed the carpenters trade. During
the past winter he was en- ployed in the
shops of the Vermont Farm Machine
company. Mr. Atwood was unmarried,
and, having been taken i'll at his board
ing place, he wrote his sister at Wood
stock that he would come and spend
few days with her. Mr. Atwood's con-
dition was precarious but he was deter
mined and took the journey to Wood
stock Saturday, May 3. His death
occurred the following morning.

LMOST A PANIC
TO-DAY IN COTTON
Government Report Brings Rush of
Buying Orders Never Before
Witnessed.

New York, Dec. 3.-When the bureau
report was issued placing the probable cot
ton crop at 1852, 039 bales, the effect on
the cotton market was electrical. Sucn
a rush Of buying has never been witnessed
here. The first sales were at jump OF
10 points or more, and before the report
was fifteen minutes old every option on
the list sold up to or past the 12-cent
mark The excitement and confusion was
simply and absolutely beyond descrip-
ton, and while the advance brought out
long cotton in tremendous volume, the
market continued to go up, breaking all
previous high records for the season and
SURPRISING anything within even the days
of last July In the intensity Of the activ-
ity and excitement.
New Orleans, Dec. 3.-New Orleans cot
ton futures jumped from So to so points
on the reading Of the bureau report and
estimate of this seasons crop. 1t was
the most exciting day in the history of
the exchange. The trading ring had to
be roped off so that the brokers, twenty
deep around it, might have all the room
possible to trade in. The trading floor was
so crowded that it was hardly possible to
get from one end of the room to another.
When the estimate was read the trading
was almost impossible owing to the con-
fusion. The volume of business probably
greatly exceeded that of any previous day
in the history of the exchange.
Washington, Dec. 3-Prelin1inary re-
turns to the chief of the bureau Of sta
tistics of the department of agriculture
indicate the actual growth of cotton in the
United States in the year 10000 will
amount to 9,967,079 bales, Of an average
net weight of 49O.8 pounds.
The area picked, or to be picked, i.
estimated at 2S,104, $3.50 acres, reduction
Of 892. 495 acres. or 800 per cent from the
acreage planted.
