FIENDISH DEED.
Triple Murder in California. Bodies
Cruelty Mutilated.

Auburn, GAL, Nov. 11.-One of the
most atrocious triple murders in the
history of this State was committed
last night at the home of julius Web
er, wealthy brewer, when Mrs Web
er, twelve year old daughter Bertha,
and son. Paul, aged nine years, were
killed with knife and revolver I'm
mediately afterward the house was
set on fire and the bodies left TO be
cremated. Neighbors found the vic
Tins who died soon as discovered.
Mrs. Weber and the girl had each a
bullet wound in their breasts The
boys face and arms were slsshed to
shreds. Nothing has been seen of the
elder Weber and the body is thought
to be in the ruins of the house. OFF,

by IA mailman as no evidences of rob-
berry are at hand.

As TO Sta TIE GEOLOGY.

Editor Daily Journsl l was very
much interested in your very able and
timely remarks in regard to "Geol-
ogy" in Vermont.
That there are valuable minerals"
and rock undeveloped in our Sta g
have no doubt-and 1 think more
liberal provision for their develop
ment by State aid should be made.
A competent geulogist of course, is
the first requisite-one who in quail
fications is up to date and who will
take lively interest in the business,
and give needed instructions to such
as are seeking for the hidden wealth ;
our policy should be to encourage, not
discourage the would.be miner.
There is plenty of capital waiting
to be invested in mining, if the cap
italists can be shown where such oper
ations can be successfully conducted
There is located in this town an mex
hanstible supply of slate rock that in
many places could be easily quarried
and transported
There are also many indications of
ores, of various kinds, but though
some nf these may be rich and
might develop into paying mines we
farmers don't know enough about
minerals to be encouraged to spend
much time to ascertain their extent or
value.
l have quite collection of speci-
mems, and no doubt others have some
that they would send to competent
geologist, to assay, if such specimens
were called for, but heretofore no in
terest has been manifested in this i'm
poItant matter.

that Japan would not resent such q
proposition There is definite inn
preston here chat the initiative will
come from President Roosevelt,

is mooted that Lord Lansdowne spoke
so openly because he had good reason
to believe that Mr.. Roosevelt, if elect

IT IS IN THE BLOOD.
Neither LlnimentS Nor 0intments Will
Reach Rheumatism. How Mr.
Stephenson Was Cured.

To attempt to cure rheumatism by |
external applications is foolish |
waste of time. The seat of the dis |
ease il in the blood, and while the |
sufferer is rubbing lotions and grease
on the skin the piOson in the circula,
tion is increasing and being distribut-
ed to every joint and muscle of the
body.
Delays in adopting sensible treat
ment are dangerous because Iheumat-
ism may at any moment reach the
heart and prove fatal. The only safe
course for rheumatic sufferers is to
get the best possible blood remedy at
once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with
this obstinate and distressing afflic-
tion is that of hundreds who treat it
at first as if it were confined to the
part where it appears, and superficial.
He says:
about year ago l was attacked
by severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder The pains were worse in
wet weather and at these periods
caused me the greatest suffering. L
tried number of treatments and
ointments but they failed to alleviate
| the pains.
| Then he realized that tine cause
must be deeper and the pain only a
surface indication, symptom of a
hidden disorder that must be sought
out and corrected by an internal
remedy. He adds:
Il had heard DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People recommended as
b cure for rheumatism, and when
found that l was getting no relief
from applications, l made up my
mind that | would try them. Before
the first box was gone noticed that
the pains were becoming less frequent
and that they were not SO severe as
before. After the second box had
been used up was entirely free from
discomfort and have had no traces
of rheumatism since.
The change in treatment proved
by almost immediate results that it
was based OH the right theory aud
the quickness with which the i'm
provement proceeded to a perfect cure
showed that he had found the true
means for the publication and en-
richment of his blood.
People with inflsmed and aching
joints, or painful muscles; people
who shuttle about with the aid of a
cane or crutch and cry, Oh At
every slight jar. are constantly ask
ing, "What is the best thing fol-
rheumatism?
CDR Williams Pink Pills." is the
answer of Mr.. Thomas Stephenson, OF
No. 1l5 Greenwood street, Springfield,
Mass. Mr.. j. G. Meukel, of No.
1876 Jackson avenue, Dubuque. Iowa
Mr.. @. H. Hickey, of No. 3 Main
street, Harris, r. l., Mr.. Henry
Story, of No. 532 Muskingum avenue,
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and scores of Others
who speak from actual experience
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are with
out doubt the best of all blood rem.
edies. Their record in the curing Of
cases of anaemia alone would be con
vincing proof of that. They effect
genuine and lasting cures in rheumat
ism. They do not merely deaden the
ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by al
druggists.

8. Private interest in conservative
forest management is in general in
sufficient to be relied upon for taking
care of public interests, except under
the stimulus of government restric.
ton.
7. Forests can be produced on soils
unfit for farm use, and wood crops
should, as far as possible, be confined
to soils unfit for food crops
8. No forestry is practicable until
forest property is at least as safe from
destruction by fire as other common
property. Until the morals Of the
public are educated ana the capacity
of the government developed to the
extent OF coping with this evil, the
public must blame itself and not the
lumbermen, or other exploiters of the
forest, for malpractice in the use of
their property.
Among the points of largest interest
made in the discussion of these propo-
sitions, was the statement that, con-
trary to general belief, all civilized
nations are annually using more wood
per capita, by from three to five per
cent, and that England, last year.
while producing $3.50, 600, 600 worth of
pig iron, imported 1925, 900. 600 worth
of wood, Referring to Vermont, the
speaker said that "for this State SO
mountainous that nearly half of Its
area is still woodland. State in
which, during the last twenty years,
nearly |. 900, 600 acres of land once i'm
proved in farms has relapsed into al
unimproved condition, there Is Ger
tainly every incentive to make theil
natural forest area do efficient duty
Under our present careless methods
this area of 2, 500, 900 acres is still fur

forests which are of equal size, Il
those of Vermont.
What measures the State SHOULD
adopt were only briefly stated, tn
most important of which were said t.
be improvement in the fire laws an,
the appointment of forest commits
sion and the gradual occupation o
} barren and Improbable lands, by tn
State. as forest reserves for the carry

BARN BURNED At BETHEL

Bethel, Nov. 11.-Last night about
8 O'Clock fire was discovered in large
barn, 50xl00 feet, belonging to Louis
Edmunds, and located about two miles
up White river The barn was built
in 1871 and 1t held large supply of
produce.
Mrs. Edmuuds was the first to dis
cover the fire when the barn was
ablaze from cellar to roof. 1t is
thought to have been of incendiary
origin and was probably set in more
than one place.
When Mr., Edmunds got to the barn
he could see the horses through the
flames but was unable to save them.
He ran down to the cellar and found
fire burning around the COWS but not
so fiercely. He rushed through the
flame1, opened door and let out ten
of them but was badly burned for his
effort Four horses, sixty tons of
hay, some swine, three heifers and
trucks were burned. Fortunately the
farm implements were kept in another
building some distance away.
a large company of men who heard
the fire alarm in Bethel started for
the fire. Several waded across the
river and Others rode across on horse
back, one horse carrying fonr at a
time bucket brigade was formed
from the river to the house. Only
81 600 insurance was carried Oh the
barn aud contents and the loss is esti-
mated at between So, 900 and$ 8, 600.
