Sentenced to Life imprisonment for Mur-
der in Second Degree. NJ
The jury in the trial of Joseph Bean
for the alleged murder of Ephriam Root
in West Rochester, October 10, 1908, at
11:10 Wednesday morning returned a
verdict of murder in the second degree
Shortly before noon the respondent
was arraigned for sentence but was SO
unnerved and weeping he was unable to
speak when Judge Munson asked him if
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him. w. B.
c. Stickney, one of his counsel address
ing the court said Bean felt as he did
only because he was an innocent man.
Bean was then sentenced to hard labor
for life in the States prison.
The case goes to supreme court and
the execution of the sentence is respited
pending the preparation of more
formal bill of exceptions.
This trial, lasting over three weeks, is
one of the longest ones in Windsor
County Court records. The verdict is a
surprise here as it was expected Bean
would be acquitted or found guilty of
murder in the first degree.
County court adjourned for the term.
The closing argument for the defence
was made by W. BIC. Stickney of Bethel
in Windsor county court Monday after
noon He spoke for over two hours and
the court room was crowded to suffo-
cation during the whole session.
He said the evidence showed that Bean
was miles away at the time Root was
killed and besides the alibi claimed by
the defense, after carefully reviewing
the testimony, he urged that there was
no proof that Root had been killed by
human agency. In support of his
argument he had several horse shoes on
the table by his side which he fitted to
the wounds on Roots skull to show that
death might have been caused by blow
from horses hoof.

Profit Sharing at Proctor.

The Vermont Marble Co., announced
that their general store at West Rutland
had cleared 13 per cent. on the money
invested since last May, when the
company proposed to give all the money
made in the stores over per cent to the
employees in proportion to the amount
traded. The employees trading at the
West Rutland store get 8 per cent total
net receipts. The other two stores at
Center Rutland and Proctor probably
did fully as well.

FARMING
SPAIN WoEFULLY OUT OF DATE
IN AGRICULTURAL METHODS.
Labor Is Far Too Cheap in That Coun-
try to Justify the Purchase
of Labor-Saving Ma
chinery.

Spain continues to disregard her nat
ural advantages in agriculture as well as
in other directions Agriculture is too
often left to the poor TO exc out a per-
carious existence, unsupported by those
who ought to be the first to devote their
capital to the improvement OF the soil
Irrigation, too, is neglected, and prac-
tically the only irrigation works are
those constructed by the Moors during
their occupation OF the country, which
have brought such prosperity to the dis
tricts of Valencia and Granada.
The cost Of hand labor in all parts Of
Spain is very cheap and does not seem
TO justify the farmer owning very small
farms using even the modern plow How
ever, on some Of the larger farms agri-
culturists not only can but do use labor
saving machinery Of the most recent
types.

JINRIKISHA COOLIES
IMPORTANT PART THEY PLAY IN
JAPANESE WAR PROGRAMME.
Every Regiment Provided with a
Corps of These Strong, Nimble
Men for Packing and Haul
ing and Heavy Work.

The japanese army is unique in its
possession of CORDS of workers which
lessons the demands upon the fighting
men of the army and makes their bur-
dens lighter, thus giving them greater
mobility and swifter movement, and
saves their strength for the actual con-
hict on the battlefield. No other mill
tary organization in the world has a
similar service, and this is probably
due to the fact that no other nation
has It's 1inriksha men from which to
form such valuable army adjunct.
For centuries the method of travel in
the little island kingdom of Japan has
been by means of man power. Before
the inventive genius Of an American
gave TO the japanese the convenient
and easy carriage on wheels called jim
rikisha, the kago. or basket car, was
used. These were carried by two or
four men.
Thus there came to exist in the ma
tion class Of cOorle labor which was

are between $4,000 and 1OO, 900 OF these
men in Japan, Toxic alone being cred
ited with having 10000. The opening
OF an electric road in that city has
worked considerable hardship to the
jinrikisha men, who up to the intro
duction Of the modern method OF trans
portation had been the sole means OF
conveyance.
The outbreak OF the war has come
Just in the nick of time While the jim
Tikisha men were mouTnfully watch
ing the trolley cars go whizzing by,
carrying many a fare which they had
been wont TO receive; while they we're
standing idly by and wondering where
the modernizing Of Japan would land
them. the call from the army came.
And they are eager TO go The spirit

a unit as ii faces its big and formidable
foe. Russia.
The iinrikisha corps is regular part
OF every Japanese regiment and these
men 90 for Two reasons. First, because
they are true patriots. and second. be-
cause the service which is asked of
them is exactly what they are fitted
for Generation after generation has
followed the same line Of business and
race Of strong. 1.-THE men has been
the result. And the presence of these
men ia the army is an addition which
would prove invaluable to any army.
With his blanket and his lantern the
jinrikisha man joins his regiment. and
attends TO the packing and the haul
ing of the accOutrements and baggage
of the soldiers. and he does the heavy
work which would lessen the fighting
powers of the soldiers. The remark
able mobility of the Japanese army is
recognized by all the powers whose
armies operated alongside the Japan
esc troops. Not even the soldiers of
the United States. who excel those Of
any other nation but Japan. could keep
up with the Japanese troops in the
march upon Pekins. during the recent
troubles in China. when all the princi-
pal powers had a fighting force in the
Celestial kingdom.
The reports of the campaign tell OF
how the American soldier. loaded down
like a pack horse, broke down or threw
away his load. as was the case at San
tiagO. while the nimble soldier of the
Japland scampered here and there and
came up at the end of each march as
fresh and smiling as their tireless lead
er, Gen. Fukushima. The secret of it
was that the Japanese coolie, or i'm
rikisha man. did the cOolie work, and
formed the transport corps which was
mobile and swift as compared with
the American fOur-mule army wagon
trains or the British India tonga cart
service. The human pony could look
after himself, and when there was a
stream TO cross or a mud slough TO
argue with two coolies could take the
jinrikisha on their shoulders and with
cat-like tread pass over and leave the
lIdte lcdAhsleIS hOuIS Denlnu.
And this is the adjunct to the Jap
anese which is going to help fight the
battles with the slower moving Rus
sian troops. The Japanese army will
be able to strike blow and get away
before the Russians can bring their
guns to bear upon them, and when the
Russians get into action. the Japs. like
the proverbial fiea, will be in some
other place OF safety.

Gold was first discovered in Alaska
in 1879, and since that time over $780,
600 900 worth has been taken out of
the mines there. There has been, a
steady increase in the production from
year to year, except in 1901, when the
production. which was $6,SS5, 701, was
over a million and half less than the
production Of the year before. 1t may
not be generally known that some sill
yer is also produced by the mines OF
Alaska. but such is the case. In fact,
where gold is found there is nearly al
ways some silver. In 1902 there were
S4S. $50 worth of silver produced. The
first discovery of gold on the Klondike
was made in August OF the year 1896
by a man named George Mccormick,
and the miners from the United States
and Canada were not slow in rushing
TO the new Eldorado. Whether there
will be similar scenes In connection
with the gold discoveries of the new
zone remains to be seen. 1t largely de-

Labor IS SO cheap that there is not much

there is no wide extent of arabic land.
IN the province Of Almeria the farms

only be used for the production of gar

available soil which might possibly be
employed for the raising of wheat and

A zone in mining parlance conveys
something the same meaning as that
OF the term used in geology. In the
latter connection it has nearly the
same meaning as horizon. A STRAIT
um OF group Of strata, may be
characterized by the presence of GER
tain assemblage of fossils, or by one
particular fossil, and in such cases the
most abundant or typical fossil may
give name to the subdivision in
which il occurs. The mining zone of
course is marked by the presence of
gold or other mineral which may char
acterize the zone. The first gold Zone
extends from the Klondike in the east
along the Yukon river. the Yukon hills.
and on the west to the Nome district
The zone follows a straight line as
though nature in planting her gold
mines had followed something of the
regular system of the farmer in plant
ing his rows of corn

timated is to the south of the old zone
and apparently extends from near

and thence westward and southwark to

case follows curved line. keeping
close to the mountain ranges all the
way. 1t is altogether conjecture at

The land in Asturias is divided into
small holdings and farmed by the own
ers and their families, outside help be-
ing very seldom required. In cases where
help is needed laborers are hired at ESQ
to 4 pesetas (375 to 60 cents) per day.
Modern agricultural implements are in
this province coming into use, and the
primitive methods which have pre-
vailed are gradually giving way before
the newer and better methods.
In 1868 a law was promulgated with a
view to inducing capitalists to found
agricultural colonies in different parts
Of the country for developing its natural
resources. This law allows all imple-
ments used by these colonies in cultivat-
ing the soil, harvesting the crops, and
preparing the fruit to be imported at the
nominal duty of one peseta (19.3 cents)
per 100 Kilograms (220.4 pounds). In
spite of the indIcement thus offered, the
scheme for establishing these farming
colonies has not met with the response
that was expected.
Until 1900 modern agricultural ma
chinery was practically unknown in this
country, and reports from all parts of
the agricultural districts show the larger
farmers and experimental farms are al
commencing TO use modern machinery.
