From the Inside.

A correspondent from the town OF
Dummerston, which has come into
prominence OF late. on account OF It's
license muddle, writes the Reformer
as follows! Can anyone fail to note
the Lockwood and displaced ratings
that are scattered along the edges
and In fact the center OF our beau
tiful drives? OF course these win be
covered IN as soon as snow comes
and then no item In print could do
them justice. We too had n vote OF a
progressive nature TO build two
schoolhouses az a cost not to exceed
$4,000. Why does not the committee.

who dares sell liquor without re-
corded licenses,

The Ladies' Home Journal

/ has devoted an entire page in its May
| issue in the cause of true temperance
| 1t correctly points out that the use
of patent medicines containing from
- to AZ per cent of alcohol must be
far more injurious than good, whole
some beers, containing only from to
5 per cent of alcohol, in which,
through fermentation and pasteur-
ization disease germs have been
killed.
BY good, wholesome beers those are
meant that have been brewed from
the very choicest barley malt, the fin
est hops and thoroughly filtered,
chemically pure water. For nourish-
ing qualities barley stands at the
head of all cereals and the tonic
properties of hops have long since
been recognized by the medical pro-
fession, thus by combining the ex-
tracts of bariey-malt and hops, we
have both a food and a tonic.
In all lines Of production there is
some certain article which leads ali
others by reason of its purity and
1uality. In the brewing industry this
particular article is Anheuser- Busch's
Budweiser bottled beer.

Condition OF Crops.

| While in some few localities the
| ground is still too wet to cultivate

nearly all crops are planted and UP.
| Where planted they are making a
| phenomenal growth in some places
peas that were planted but week
being up. Conditions indicate that
all crops will give a bountifui yield.
Grass is especially promising and the
weather must be decidedly unfavor-
able IL there is not an abundant crop.
Spring seeding is nearly completed,
and, in many places, the grain is up.
Fall grain has made good growth and
bids fair to yield we'll, The planting
of corn has been delayed by the
damp condition of the soil, although
in the southern portion considerable
has been put In. Some of the early
varieties are up and have received
first cultivation. The reports re-
garding rye are also very favorable,
and oats are doing finely in most
places.
Grass reports are still of the best.
The growth has been exceedingly
rapid throughout the past three
weeks and there is now promise of
an abundant crop. While the growth
is slightly rank, it is probable that it
will mature well. Glover, spring sown, |

ASHUELOT DEFEATED MONDAY
Sattery of North Adams Proves an
Effective TWirler.

With Slattery of North Adams in the
box Brattleboro went up against As
huelot Monday morning and won a
seven inning game by score of Us.
The game demonstrated clearly that
the deaf and dumb twirler from Mas
sachusetts will be a strong addition to
the Brattleboro team. He has great
speed and a variety of twisters includ-
ing a very deceptive drop, and is able
to put 'em over when necessary.
This was demonstrated on two occa-
sions when with three balls called he
struck the batter out. Bush's delivery
did not seem to puzzle the local bats
men who touched him up for drives
whenever necessary. The fielding work
of the home team showed great i'm
provement over that of Saturdays
game.
McCaughern drew a pass in the first
inning and was able to circle the bases
before the side was retired, but Ashue-
lot did not score again until the fifth
inning. In Brattleboro's half of the
second an error, a single by Tucker
and a double by Brooks netted three
scores. Two more were added in the
third by the singles of Stolte, Tucker
and Ferriter and Waite's timely three
Dagger Errors in the sixth gave Brat
tleboro two more runs. In the fifth in
ming hits by Sherman and Reno and a
bunch of errors netted Ashuelot three |
runs, and one more was made in the |
seventh on Bergeron's hit a pass to |
and Stolte's error.
The fielding of both teams was good
but that of Ashuelot perhaps a trifle
the better Mullet showed himself to
be the best third baseman that has
played in Brattleboro this year, and
Reno looked out for Bush's somewhat
cratic delivery in excellent style. The

League Standing.
WILD AND wooLLY BASEBALL.
Winchester Defeated Brattleboro in a
Tiresome Game.

/ Brattleboro lost to Winchester on the
i island grounds Saturday afternoon in
+ a game which would weary the most
enthusiastic fan who ever sat on a
bleacher. The score was 1910
when the last man on the home
team was called out, and everybody
seemed glad to pick up and start for
this side of the river, Up to
the beginning of the ninth the
score stood seven although the
copy base running of Waite and
Tucker had lost at least two runs for
Brattlaboro, At this point the visitors
started merry go-round which net
ted five scores. Brattleboro started
the last half as if the lead of five
amounted to naught but was only
able to tally three times before an
other bunch of poor judgment
brought the game to close
There were few redeeming features
about the contest, but only a few com
pared with the disgusting ones. Ellis
pitched a creditable game and nearly
adj of Winchester's scores were made
after there had been chances to retire
he side. Brooks caught we'll and was
he only Brattleboro man discredited
With an error. Thompson, who did the I
slab work for Winchester was also eff /
ectiye. ]. Hanley, an old Derby, CT, I

decided virtually to cut out intermis-

some lively discussion along Broad

accustomed to the support of a little

Stanford White, who is a veteran
first -nighter, thinks that Miss Irwin
has done the wise thing from her point
of view. in any event" he says, "the
new scheme will kill the anvil chorus
in the lobby of the Bijou after the
first act. From my point of view, of
course, il doesn't make any difference.
Abe Kaffenburgh, who Mr.. White
thought might take serious exception
to the new rule, confessed to a belief
that Miss Irwin was making a mis-
take, but based his opinion upon the
fatigue of sitting through an entire
