The First National Bank.

In this issue Will bc found the re-
port of the condition of the First Ma.
tionaI Bank of Sisseuon A compar-
ison between this report and the one
published Jan, TIN is most gratify-
ing and shows an increase in S22, 900
in deposits over that OF two months
ago. This shows confidence IN the
First National Bank as well as good
business management. Tie deposi-
tors show that they consider this
banking institution the embodiment
of soundness and reliability. 1t cam
not be doubted that the success of
the First National Bank is due TO the
broad-mlnded liberal policy which
has always characterized It's manage.
nent. Its officers recognize the fact
That tier interests are bound up
with those of the entire community,
and that procal relations between
the bank and the people are best for
all. This bank truly and fairy sub
serves the purpose of such an institu-
tion.

There is no necessity for proclaim

that an election is soon to be pulled
otf i'm SiSscton. Any one who will
take the trouble tu walk a couple of

mighty soon realize that something
unusual is on the program. Every
where you look you see thcm-in
bunches of from three to- IA dozen,

SO much that politicians of all
crceds and beliefs are seemingly the
best of friends. But wait till the pot
gets boiling. there's where the family
Will separate and walk different sides
of the street.

More Mormon ShrInes Possible.

When the Mormons get their shrine
erected in Royalton 70 mark the birth
place of Joseph Smith they may per-
haps come down into Nottingham and
place a monument where Brigham
Young first saw the light. 1t is strange
that the two great leaders of Mormon
ism, Smith and Young, were both
Vermont born but it is important only
as proving the fertility of Vermont
soil in producing types of varied
fame. Such things as the proposed
shrine do no harm, help advertise
Vermont, may attract pilgrims, will
furnish picnic point for natives and
summer visitors and will not endanger
the faith OF ourselves or our children.

trial school, commonly known as the

seems that through some twist in the
law, when an inmate of this school es-
capes and is recaptured he is sentenced
to thirty days or so at the house OF cor
rection at Rutland, at the expiration of
which, instead Of being sent back to

Mrs. Rogers Last Chance Gone.

Judge Rufus w. Peckham of the United
states supreme court, Friday declined tc
grant writ of error which would allow
the case of Mrs. Mary Rogers OF Vermont,
now under sentence for the murder OF her
husband, to go to the United States court
The application was made before him at
his Office in Albany, n. Y, by Attorney
Butler Of Rutland.
Mr.. Butler argued that there was a
federal question involved from the fact
the Vermont laws provide no means for
the retrial of Mrs. Rogers upon newly
discovered evidence. The highest court
OF the state had refused a new trial and
since the legislature which alone has
power to commute, will not meet until
October, 1906, the only recourse is the
United States courts. He held that the
state court should not have fixed the
date OF execution until after the next
meeting of the legislature.
In refusing the writ of error Judge
Peckham said at would be trifling with
the administration of the federal courts to
presume to grant writ OF error upon
these allegations. There is nothing to
support the pretence of a federal question
nor the allegations that the state consti-
tuition and the fourteenth amendment
have been violated. The misfortune of
your client is that she has been convicted
in state COURT
GoV. Bell, when informed of the de-
cision of Judge Peckham, made the fol-
lowing statement:
"My stand in the Rogers case is pre-
cisely the same today as when first re-
prieved Mrs. Rogers. Under the law
was Obliged to grant the second reprieve.
Now that the writ of error has been
denied the law must take its course.
1t is understood that Mrs. Rogers
attorneys have given up hope, realizing
the futility of making further effort in
her behalf.
1t is not intended to notify Mrs. Rogers
OF her fate until all possibility of a change
is past.
1t has been learned that the interview
with Mary Rogers published recently in.
Boston paper was authentic. The woman
who wrote it was Anna Batchelder, q
sister OF states Attorney Charles Batchel-
der OF Woodstock, and it was through
his influence that she was admitted to the
woman's cell. Superintendent Lowell and
Sheriff Peck both state that they did not
know that she was q newspaper representa-
tive and coming as she did with the
States attorney they did not mistrust her
errand.
