Antrim, N. H, appears to be a
storm center. A few months ago ex-
Gov. Goodell, who lives there, created
much excitement by having every
man in the entire town "posted" so
that he could not get liquor at saloons
in an adjoining town. Now all of the
clergymen of the place have united
in publishing manifesto in the local
weekly paper to the effect that, as
there has been in New Hampshire the
past year ratio of one divorce for
eight and three tenths marriages,
and an average, during the past ten
years, of one divorce for every nine
and fifty one hundredths marriages,
they therefore will not knowingly
solemnize the marriage of any person
known to be divorced for any other
cause than a scriptural reason, the
innocent party alone excepted. This
is a wise stand, but one which it will
take some courage to maintain. The
divorce evil seems to be growing
with alarming rapidity, and the
records of the Washington county
courts for the past few months are
anything but reassuring. 1t Is high
time that a determined and persistent
agitation was put on foot to stop this
growing tendency of the times

Over 1000 Prisoners
Supt. D. L Morgan of the house of
correction recently made report of
the number of prisoners com mitted
to the institution and to the Rutland
1903. In II months $50 prisoners were
received in the house of correction
and 4s3 at the county Jail, a total
number of about l,139. The number
includes United States prisoners,
Cinnamon, etc, to the number of
about 80. The number of prisoners
received during the past year was
just about the same number received
during the two preceding years from
May 1, 1901, to May 1, 1908. The in
crease is attributed by Mr.. Morgan
almost entirely to license, as it existed
in many towns under local option.
The conclusion seems to be borne out
by the fact as since the licenses ex-
pired in that city April "a there have
been no commitments for drunken
ness in Rutland, whereas prior to
that, commitments were numerous.
swanton Boy Tells Story of His Robberies.
Robert Levick, 16 years old, was
arrested at Swanton recently by
Officer Beebe on a warrant charging
him with stealing rubbers and shoes
from the residence of Rev. E. J.
Ranslow. He admitted his guilt and
told story Of robberies that sur
prised even those who were acquaint-
ed with him. Levick's plan in some
cases was to go to a house and ask to
borrow something and while the
article was being obtained he would
pick up anything handy that happened
to be lying around. He has also
taken articles from the Swanton
stores and there is hardly one he has
not visited. He took almost a whole
suit of clothes from Farrell Brothers.
The Woad Hardware company has
lost cartridges and other small arti-
cles. Warner & Towne were out Is
bars of soap. These and other
things he distributed among his
friends and relatives, selling some
and giving the rest away. He located
a number of things he has taken
recently and the officers have been
sent to get them. His case was con-
tinued until they returned. He tells
a straight story and does not seem to
realize the serious position he is in.

What Is more attractive than a
clean and neatly dressed baby? Let
one remain in carriage on the side
walk for time, and it is sure to be
the center of an admiring throng.
Not many men may be found in the
crowd to be sure, but even the men,
when not preoccupied by business or
fearful that other men will notice them,
are as interested as any one. To be
sure, the prattlings of the child are
utterly unintelligible, and the gestures
are the incarnation Of awkwardne S..
but, in spite of it all, there is still
something that draws every normal
adult. There may be a multitude of
other reasons but we feel sure that
one source of the attraction lies in
the fact that child is bundle of pos
sibilities. No one can tell what kind
of a career is wrapped up in the small
bundle which the mother holC in her
arms SO lovingly, but the very thought
of what may be the child's future in
vests it with an indefinable charm.
Pity the man or woman whose heart
does not beat quicker at the sight of
a face that is not wrinkled by care or
scanned by sorrow, face that ripples
over with smiles and answers with
love-lit eyes the mothers words of
endearment.- Bdrre Telegram.

est over j. A. DeBoer's letter written
last December in reply to an inquiry
from the Montpelier Journal we give
it in full below. The friends of Mr..
Bell and Mr.. Stanton point out the
fact that Mr.. DeBoer states that he is
not a candidate for the office of gov
ernor, while the friends of Mr.. DeBoer
call attention to his statement in the
third paragraph where he says that
he would like to be governor and if
the service was before him in the
form of an actual che ice he would
"gladly and proudly" respond:
Editor of the Journal:
Permit me to acknowledge your
favor of the 9Th inst, asking if / will
permit the use of my name as a can
didate for the republican nomination
to the governorship of this state.
To this my answer is, "no." The
reason for this answer is briefly this:
/ depend for my income upon my
work. If | do not do that work all OF
the time, it is my opinion that should
not draw the pay. / need this pay,
however, to discharge the obligations
which have assumed and for which
am responsible. 1t seems to me,
therefore, unwise and unnecessary to
drop this work, which gives me
pleasure, for the sake of seeking OPP
portunity in politics.
At this time, may say frankly that
l should like to be governor for the
sake of the service and, if that service
we're before me in the form of an actu-
al choice, | would gladly and proudly
respond to the call. l regard myself
barred, however, by circumstances
not meaning to suggest that mer
whose work does not involve the
responsibilities of fixed trusteeshiE
NAV not, with perfect honor and pro-
priety, both seek and hold public Office
of any kind.
Furthermore, l am wholly conscious
that our Vermont woods, on botf
aides of the m unit a in, are
full of better men and that neither
party nor the state can suffer the
slightest harm from my fixed purpose
30 keep at work in my own shop.
Do me the favor, please, through
your paper, of conveying my sinceres
thanks to all those who have honoret
me with their kind opinions and &C
eept for yourself assurances of M
continued regard.
Yours very truly,
JOSEPH A. DEBoER.

try, asking about accommodations. etc.,
from men who want to ship their herds
here. to compete for the premiums. with
which the association has been very
liberal this year. which fact seems to be
appreciated by all the stock men.
Mr.. A. L. Wisner. superintendent of
this department is busy looking after
the preliminary work.
Special interest il taken by the cattle
breeders of Idaho. Latah. Nez Perez,
Asotin and Garfield counties, to COM
pete for the premiums offered to stock

been received from dozen different
men in these counties. stating that they
will take their stock to the fair.

new WELL
At CLIFFORD
Water will be Pumped into Res
ervOir With Gasoline
Engine.

Mr.. E. n. Keeney. prominent resi-
dent of the Reservation, was in the city
Saturday from Clifford and reports hav-
ing just completed the sinking of a well
at that place on his property. Mr..
Keeney founded the town of Eugene
which was later changed to the name
Of Clifford and he reports that in the
past few years that the village has
grown to good proportions. In reia-
ton to the we'll which he has just sunk
Mr. Keeney states that he has the
second living well in that section of the
country. The other well is owned by
the people of Clifford. The town well
produces about $50 gallons of water per
hour. He says that his well is about
1870 feet deep and that the water has
risen to height of forty feet and pro-
duces about $50 gallons per hour 1t Is
his intention to lift the water by means
OF a gasoline engine and store 1t in a
reservoir which he will build on his
farm. He owns 100 acres and intends
using the water for domestic and irri-
CATION purposes. He states that irriga-
ton Is not however required in that
section owing to the frequent rains and
the high altitude.
Mr.. Sweeney states that the crops in
that section during this year are net
as good as in past years which is due
to the backward spring. He says that
the spring was the latest that has been
experienced in many years and the sea-
son Is identical with that of the season
before the wet year of 1893. He re-
ports that harvesting is nearly over and
that there but few fields to be cut and
threshed. He reports that the acreage
in wheat IL about the same as last year
crop. He says that fax in that section
is fast being eliminated and that this
season the crop Is very small. The
farmers are all busily engaged in haul
ing their crops the greatest bulk Of the
I grain going to- the Summit tramway.
He says that there Is considerable
building going on in Clifford and that
business is very active.
