There is general hope, the House

the Governors estimates. He has

of that kind may well await the regular
session of the Legislature. The lat

There is little use in the Baltic fleet

20 coaling stations en- route and can
not lawfully use neutral ones. Golfers
might be taken along but loading from
them is precarious business. Before
fighting, such fleet would need. after
a voyage of $1,000 miles, to go into dry
dock, but by the time the Baltic fleet
could reach the Orient, Port Arthur,
Dalny and vladivostok might be block

eumstances it is not surprising to hear
a rumor that the Baltic feet will be
kept at home.

Senators assume a good deal to ex-
pect the House to meekiy accept their
changes made in the salary bill. Mem
bers of the House laid aside their own
opinions to accept the plan submitted
by Governor Carter, rather than to take
the time and the taxpayers money to
draw up its own scheme of economy.
To ask the House also to accept the
views of the upper body is expecting
too much. If the Senate expects to
reach an agreement in conference the
bill should be changed again to coin
eide with that passed by the House.

AS possibly the first paper in tbs
United States to suggesfth that the Jap
anese may not mean to advance beyond
the Yalu-except by raids-the Adver-
tiser is naturally pleased to find that
the same idea is entertained by mill
tary experts. This is from the New
York Tribune in Washington dispatch
about the opinions. regarding the Jap
anese Campaign, of the General staff:
An officer of high rank said that he
was satisfied the Japanese did not in
tend to advance into Manchuria across
the Yalu, and that all trustworthy re-
ports indicate an intention by the jap
anese merely to hold their position
across Korea from Ping-Yang to Won
son, and thus prevent the Russians
from everything Korea.
The officer anticipated, however, that
another army would land to attack the
Liaotong peninsula This is not SO inn
probable as that one would permit it,
self to be lured into the interior of
Manchuria.

CONFESSES GUILT.

Boston, Jan. Ray @. Johnson,
formerly of Burline ton. was arraigned
in municipal court or Wednesday and
held without bail. johnson confessed to
killing Mrs. Sadie Peters and at the
time he was arrested made no resist
ance as he sat by the dead body with
revolver in hand. He murdered her
with whom he had lived because she
refused to live with him any longer.
He spent the whole evening previous
to the shooting at south end house
trying to induce the woman to return
and live with him. She refused, and
just before midnight started away
from the house. He followed and con
tinued his pleadings The firsg know
ledge of the serious trouble was when
the revolver shots were heard.
Burlington. Jan Ray @. John
son. who is now held for the murder
of Sadie Peters in the city of Boston,
was quite we'll known in this city and
in Essex Junction. Johnsons people
lived in Essex for some time. For
some years his father, Leroy Johnson,
carried on farm mile or two from
the village of Essex Junction and later
they moved to that place. johnson
attended the high school at Essex and
was we'll liked by his school mates.
One of his greatest failings, however.
was a quick temper, of which he often
lost control. While living in Essex
the family were stricken by the loss
of son and brother, Earl, who COM
mitted suicide by drowning in the
Winooski river.

A SAD STORY.

Middlesex, Jan. T. Horrible and
gruesome are the reports of the Iro-
quois theater disaster in Chicago, as
displayed so wildly in the newspaper
columns Throughout the length and
breadth of the county. The results
of the terrible catastrophe are now
brought, as it were, to our very doors,
and an idea of how widespread those
results are is brought, in vivid
manner, to our minds. William Chap
in of Middlesex has just received
letter from his son, William A. in
Chicago, full of sadness, which places
the family hearthstone. Mr.. Chaplin
in his letter. stated that four members
of his family were among the victims
of the dsaster-his wife's mother,
Mis-. Matilda Moore, and his three
little nieces, Laura, Matilda. and
Josephine LaRose. Mrs. Moore's body
was found the next day. A weary,
heartrending search of two days and
two nights through the dismal
morgues of Chicago ended in finding
the three little lifeless forms. They
had been looking forward with child
ish anticipation TO the day when their
grandmother had planned to take
them to the play at the opening Of the
theatre Like unselfsh children that
they were. they had not wished to
reap their enjoyment alone but want
ed Mr.. Chapin's little boy to share it
with them. They even went to see
of his parents would not allow him to
sttend with them. Mr.. Chaplin. how.
ever, did not think best and the little
boy owes his life to the prudence
his fathers decision.
NOBODY will ever know the circum-
stances of that last fatal struggle for
liberty but the picture of three little
forms clinging to their grandmother's
dress, while rushing, needless throng
trampled them to death in it's mad
dened efforts to escape, will ever re-
main vivid In the mind. Their
dying cries of desolation will ever
ring in the ear as piteous death
knell.

IN VESTIG1TION or CHICA-
GO DISASTER BEG UN.

Chicago, Jan. 8 The coroner's in
quest over the remains of the victims
of the Iroquois theatre Disaster was
begun yesterday. Coroner Traeger
presided over the investigation with
States Attorney Dineen or one of
his assistants as his legal representa-
tive. 1t will require six days for the
jury to hear the testimony of the 200
witnesses. Technically the inquest
is held over "tbe body of Miss Mary
Edna Torney and 564 Others" Deputy
Coroner Buckley knew Miss Torney
and arrived on the scene OF the fire q
few minutes after her body had been
carried out He WAS able to locate
the two policemen who had handled
the body. Her check to her seat in
the theatre was found in her clothing.
Precise evidence can therefore be de-
duced as to the circumstances of her
death and those circumstances will be
interpreted to apply in general to the
564 others "
For the task of fixing the RESPONSE
bility for the great loss of life,
States Attorney Dineen instructed
Coroner Traeger to establish the
identity if possible, of some person OF
presons who died at the end of the
passage leading south from the en-
trance of the second balcony. There
locked door cut off the escape Of
hundreds whose bodies were found
against the barricaded door. The
coroner has succeeded in gathering
this evidence.

due to the fact that they were taught
by their government how to farm
properly. He also touched upon the
question of fertilizers and said that a
crop of clover turned under was the

MAN IN THE CABOOSE.
JACK RUMSEY'S SECRET FOR
SECURING SLEEP
a rlissouri Pacific Railroad Con
ductor Tells How He Pre-
vents the Wreck of
His Nerves

A great deal of fatigue and anxiety
is housed up in the little red box that
swings at the tail end of every freight
train and shares in every jolt of the
string of heavy cars that precedes it
on the rails. The men in it are good,
hearty fellows who bear nheerfully
the hazards connected with the great
problem of transportation. They are
astlr night and day on vast net
work of lines over the globe, ana the
sympathies of tens of thousands of
peaceful little homes 90 with them on
their tuns. Irregularity in meals and
sleep, delays, wrecks, washouts, land
slides, breakage of machinery, ex-
tremes of cold and heat, are few of
their discomforts. The great public,
sleeping complacently all night, must
have it's supplies in the morning and
these are the men who must get them
through at the cost even of their
lives.
Mr.. Jack Rumsey, of Council
Grove, Kansas, is an enegetio, frank,
goodnatured member of this brother
hood and he bears load of worries
that makes it necessary for him to
seek help at times to keep his excited
brain and nerves from wearing him
out. He says: WHAT troubled me
most for long time in my occupation
was my inability to get sleep when
the chance came and most irritating
sensitiveness of my whole nervous
system, growing out of the irregular
tiles and anxieties connected with my
daily work Three or four years ago
clerk in the superintendent Office
of the Missouri Pacific railroad, at
Osawatomie, Kansas, advised me to
use DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l acted on his advice and and
got help right away. Two or three
boxes made me perfectly we'll. So /
1 keep them on hand all the time and
whenever the strain begins to tell on
me take few doses and they set me
all right again. They quiet down my
! excited nerves and make it possible
! for me to sleep just like child. They
! are mighty good medicine for rail-
I road man. That is the absolute truth,
as far as my experience goes, and l am
right glad to recommend them.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are unlike other medicines be.
cause they act directly on the blood
and nerves. This makes them iDval.
liable in such diseases as lucomotoI
ataxia, partial paraly sis, st. Vitus
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumat.
ism, nervous headache. the after
effects of the grip, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow compilations
and all forms of weakness. either il
male or female. DR. Williams Pini
Pills for Pale People are sold by al
dealers. or will be sent postpaid on re
ceipt of pIice, fifty cents box, or sil
