ment with Mr.. Donnelly's organization
and the allied trades. which they have
failed to live up to. and under the cir
cumstances we do not care to make

signed by the representatives of the
the state board of arbitration at the
end of q conference between the two
bodies held at the request Of the state
board In an endeavor to bring about

up to the terms Of the original agree
ment, but that the initiative would
have to be taken by the strikers.

Tension of Mental Effort metimes
DisastrOuS.

1t has long been known that a man
is not at his best for hard mental work
directly after a hearty meal, but the
real dangers of work under such con-
ditions are perhaps not only in the
arteries Of the body, but also, in all
probability, in those of the brain and
this makes it easy for a weakened
point to give way.
We recently have had a striking in
stance of death from apopleXy occur
ring in a prominent physician while
making an after-dinner speech. and the
notable death of William Window.
few years ago, under similar circum-
stances will be remembered; and still
other cases might be mentioned. The
danger from this cause has not been
recognized, but when we remember
that these public banquets involve Il
pretty hard ingestion of food and Il
consequent rise of blood presence, Il
need not be wondered at that sudden
deaths from "apopleXy" during after
dinner speeches are often recorded.
Apoplexy is a we'll known possibility

Used Unfair Tactics.

Every one who served under Gen.
eral w. Z. Sherman, says the New
York Tribune, must give him credit
for his strategy in fianking the Con-
federates out of their strong positions
Even a young woman of Georgia OBJ

ut wasn't fair for General Sherman
to fight the Southern soldiers on end, -
she said.
"Now it was right smart of General
Bragg to form two strcaks of fight in
our dooryard with walking soldiers
and then he got General Joe Wheeler
to line up one streak of fight with
critter soldiers cavalry behind the
house.
But just as our side was ready tc
whip the Yankees. General Sherman
sent Joe Hooker up, and he fit agar
the end of the two streaks of fight il
our yard instead of in front of them

confederate divulged to Mr.. MacFar-
LAM that after SCOTS murder a grave
had Heen dug within the fort and a
coffin supposed to contain the body
lowered into it in the presence of a
battalion of Riels soldiers. But
Scott's remains were not in that cof-
fin, the mock interment being but q
ruse of Riel, who did not choose to
trust so many of his followers with
this knowledge and the evidence of
his cruel crime. SO, after a mock in
terment, the body was dragged by a
few trusty men to the bank of the
Red River and at Il point near where
Broadway bridge now stands was put
through a hole in the ice and sunk by
means of a weight tied about the
neck. This weight was a Hudson Bay
grindstone. Mr.. MacFarlane believes
that an investigation will reveal this
grindstone and perhaps the bones OF

WHERE SCOTT WAS BURIED.
Man Executed by Louis Rie1 Sunk in
the Red River. nS

Man Executed by Louis Rie1 Sunk in
the Red River. 1850
For thrty-four years the question
has been asked in vain, "When Thorn
as Scott was shot by order of Louis
Riel in the Red River rebellion of
1S69-7O, where was the body buriedT
1t has been generally believed that
only Riel knew what disposal was
made of SCOTS body, and that when
Riel was hanged at Regina as the
penalty of melting the rebellion Of
1885 the secret died with him, says
the Toronto Globe. But old-timers
have never accepted such n theory,
believing that others besides Riel knew
the secret if they wanted to tell, and
their surmise turns out correct, for
now, after thirty-four years of silence,
one man who witnessed SCOTS eXecu-
ton and the disposal of his remains
has told the tale.
This man, who was one of Riels Of
ficers, is to-day a well-known Manito-
ban, but there are reasons why his
name should not be given. The gen.
tleman to whom he revealed the Sc
cret is Roderick MacFarlane, formerly
chief factor of the Hudson Bay Com,
pany and a citizen of Winnipeg. Mr..
MacFarlane authorizes the use of his
name and is hopeful that steps may
be taken to establish the authenticity
of the story. When at the grave OF
Pierre Deschambault he met among
the people there assembled his inform
ant, who was, as already stated, one
of Riers officers and who had been
with him in old Fort Garry at the
time OF SCOTS execution. Mr.. Mac
Farlane, it may be explained, was al

That County Fair Candy that Was
Pulled Over a Hook.

That County Fair candy that was
Pulled Over Hook.
People who resided in Western towns
in the days following the civil war
doubtless remember the candy pullers
who followed the fair circuits, making
delicious taffy (red, yellow, white,
strawberry, molasses, or vanilla) at
every country fair. They sold this
candy, not by the yard, but by the
half foot or quarter of foot, and very
good candy it was at that. The prepa-
ration and making of it was open to
the inspection of all corners, in an
open-ar kitchen, which stood not far
from the hook where the candy was
pulled. When the sugar, Using glass,
water and other ingredients had boil
ed down to the proper consistency, the
sticky mass was turned out on a greaS-
ed marble slab, kneaded, and worked,
until, at a word from the head candy
maker, it went to the hook and was
there pulled and favored. When
pulled until it had reached proper
whiteness it was removed, laid on an
other slab. having a foot measure grad
uated to inches in the marble. There
it was cut to the proper lengths with
an immense pair of shears, wrapped in
paper, and sold to the candy-hungry
crowd. who stood open-mouthed with
establishment.
Those who remember such scenes
would have been forcibly reminded of
the old fair days in Kentucky or Mis-
souri, had they dropped into certain
store last week, where they sold candy
by the yard. The candy is made and
favored in the usual way, but instead
of being pulled by hand is brought to
the proper consistency by means of a
very peculiar machine, in which the
pulling is actually done by two iron
? arms which when the machine is sci

the blessings and conveniences in

there were some here who were on.
posed to having electric lights In
our town, but there is not user of
electric lights in Montpelier today
who would give them up for the old
kerosene lamps.
But enough on this question at
this time. There are other WAYS
that Montpelier citizens could show
to strangers who stop here that the
town has cast aside the old village
methods. One of these would he
the removal of the signs that now
extend across the sidewalk In front
of almost every business house in
town. They are unnecessary and
certainly ungalnly looking. If the
council should pass an ordinance re-
curing their removal and providing
that no sign should extend more
than two feet in front of a business
house, the people would be surprised
at the improved appearance the
change would make and wonder
why the council hadn't ordered the
change long ago.
Good sidewalks in the business
portion of town would help appear
ances, even though the old wooden
business houses still remain. In
the little town of Caldwell there ia
not board sidewalk in the business
section. The splendid cement side
walks was the first thing that at
tracted our attention upon the occa
sion of our visit to Caldwell few
months ago. The Caldwell council
passed an ordinance requiring that
the old board walks be replaced
with stone or cement ones through
out the business section of the town
and so highly pleased were the pco.
pie with the Improvement that manv
of the citizens have had cement
walks laid in front of their resi-
dences. although they were not re.
CURED by ordinance to do so.
By following out the suggestions
here made and in many other WAYS
Montpelier people could demonstrates
20 the world that they do not pro.
pose to be behind times.
Once the spirit of Improvement
becomes operative here, there would

nation had been wrought. God
peed the day when that spirit shall

much smaller than this have some
