HELENA, Feb. l5.-HOuse bill lib.
introduced by Representative Murray
OF Cascade, has been the subject of a
good deal OF adverse criticism since it
passed the committee of the whole with
the recommend alton hat /. pass. This
occurred n day last week, and it is
now said by some that the measure
got through the committee without
the attention that it should have had.
The bill provides for a tax of one

thereby is to go to the benefit of the

Tuesday, May 80, 1905, has certainly
passed into history as red-letter day
for Middlebury, and with the gorgeous
display of pyrotechnics which brought
to close the dedicatorial programme of
the unveiing of the new soldiers monu-
ment the legion of visitors went to their
homes feeling not only repaid for their
trip but amply so. Nothing was done
by halves and everything possible was
done that every invited guest and visitor
might thoroughly enjoy themselves.
Congratulations have rained upon those
in charge of the ceremonies and again
has Middlebury demonstrated that she
has only to be called to entertain and
that she can do SO right royalty.
Thousands gathered here on Tuesday
to witness the unveiling of the soldiers
monument, the gift of Col. S. A. Ilsley,
to the people of Middlebury. Not only
the people of Addison, but throngs from
Rutland and Chittenden counties par
ticipated in this ceremonial in honor of
Middlebury's soldier dead.
For hours previous to the opening
of the exercises at the monument the
gowns of women and children in gay
hues, the dazzling regalia of Knights
| Templars, and the familiar q. A. r.
suit of blue, with the uniforms of
state militiamen, Odd Fellows, firemen
and dozen other civic and secret
society bodies made the streets of
this ordinarily quiet town resemble
bazaar with an Oriental setting.
Red, white and blue predommated with
sufficient gold lace, clanking OF swords
martial music and galloping OF horses
to stir every patriotic fiber to action.
At p. m. fully 5000 people had

day, heading a procession numbering

through the main thoroughfares it
was greeted by continuous storm Of
applause.
THE MONUMENT IN DETAIL.
Situated in the tri angle formed bv
Merchants Row on the north and
south and South Pleasant street on
the east, stands this beautiful memorial
of Vermont granite as a silent vet ever
reminder that Middlebury remembers
her defenders.
The monument is 80 feet and one
inch in height and is composed of 40
sections of Jones Brothers company's s
best quality, light, fine grained, me-
dunn Barre granite. The entire out
side surface of the memorial is ham,
mered, ten cut finish. The lower base,
which sets upon a foundation of ce-
ment, is Il feet six inches square, with
a rise of eight inches, and is composed
of II sections; the central base, II feet
six inches square with and eight-inch
/ A''~i - oNNNiOiioi anu tliC tOlI
base, II feet six inches square, with
same rise as the other bases, is COM
posed of six sections. These three
bases, or courses, are surmounted by
the pedestal, consisting of three pieces,
die cap and plinth. Located at each
of the four corners of the central die
is a life size statue in granite, each
symbolical of an arm of the service.
Facing Merchants Row are the artil-
leryman and cavalryman and, facing
in an opposite direction, stands the
marine and infantryman. while sur
mounting the whole is the color bearer
with the colors at rest.
The formation of the military and
civic bodies about the monument be
gan at $40 and embraced one of the
most spectacular arrangement of uni
formed bodies that was ever witnessed
in this village. Directly enclosing the
base of the monument in the shape
OF triangle stood 15O Sir Knights from

1t is doubtful if 10 words were ever
before spoken in Middlebury that
elected such stupendous applause as
did this brief yet sincere speech of pre-
sentation.
Owing to the sudden illness of
Prof. w. E. Howard, who was to ac-
cept the memorial in behalf of the
town Prof William w. McGilton acted
in his stead.
Following Professor McGilton's speech
of acceptance Rev. George II. Stair, pas

was presented as the orator of the occa-
sion His subject, "The Patriot as a
Nation Builder" was masterful effort
and during the 10 minutes devoted to the
delivery of his Grafton Mr.. Stair drew
scores of vivid word pictures and illus
trated by many dramatic situations the
strong points in his address.
"THE PATRIOT AS A NATION BUILDER"
Mr.. President, and members of the
w. P. Russell Post, Grand Army of the
Republic; ladies and gentlemen:
esteem it not only a pleasure, but
great privilege and a high honor for
one of such limited experience, who has
so recently become resident of your
state, to occupy the place that do
this afternoon. While | appreciate the
courtesy, am also keenly sensitive of
the responsibility incurred in embracing
the opportunity before an audience so
thoroughly American and representing
culture. and upon an occasion unprece-
dented in the history of this community.
For know that you will concur with
me in saying that this event is one.

sun will reveal this monument garlanded
with new devotion of the people to the
imperishable principles of right and 10y
atty and love of country.
That we, Sir, as people are deeply
indebted to you, that through your gen.
erosity the soldiers of Middlebury have a
noble and well merited memorial scarce
ly needs to be expressed by me, all
voices this day proclaim that fact and
all faces flash forth gratitude. That you,
Sir, have made possible the future bene-
fits which l have indicated and have
made it easy to teach the lesson of
patriotism to childrens children is a
source of deep qualification to us.
Therefore, in behalf of and in the name
of the Town of Middlebury, your gift of
this beautiful monument is gladly,
proudly, gratefully received.
The question sometimes arises will the
enthusiastic praise of our nations heroes
fade and vanish with the progress of the
years? VIII the glorious annals of our
great civil strife and the records of the
men who SO nobly defended our country
become a blurred and forgotten page!
BY no means. The picture that hangs
on the wall of the old homestead may
fade and disappear, the tintype of the
soldier boy who fell in battle may corrode
and fail to reveal his face. The features
may and will vanish from the memory
of all the living, but there will rise uI
generation after generation of free-borr
Americans in the progress of the cen.
turies, to remember that once in the

THE FIREWORKS.
800 PIECES CONSTITUTE
I MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY.
Five Thousand People Gathered On
Wellington Lot, Washington Street,
Tuesday Evening.

Doubtless no finer display of fireworks
was ever witnessed in Addison county,
and surely not in Middlebury, than that
given on Tuesday evening in connection
with the unveiling ceremonies. The
Consolidated Fireworks Company of
America sent a professional here who
had entire charge of the display which
consisted of nearly 300 pieces.
The set pieces were simply wonderful
examples of the art of making fireworks
and the continental Minute Man." the
Goddess Of Liberty" and "Good Night"
pieces were especially beautiful. Of
rockets there were scores ranging from
parachutes, prismatic dragons, cascades,
cornucopias, jeweled streams, shooting
stars, willow trees, hanging chains, COM
etics, search lights and japanese bomb
shells all of 4-pound "voltage" to the
8-pounders, diamond chains and peacock
plumes. In the 6-pound class the elec-
trio shower and seven star Pleiades
rockets were marvellous pieces of in
genuity.
Mines, batteries, bombs, fountains,
fires of every hue of the rainbow, in fact
the best obtainable in the pyrotechniC
line were interspersed throughout the
display and the 1000 people which, it is
estimated, witnessed this feature of the
days celebration were lavish in their
farewell praises of Colonel Ilsley's gen
erosity.

THE DECORATIONS.
VILLAGE STREETS ABLAZE
WITH BUNTING.
Many Beautiful Window Displays. Entire
Business Section Decked in Red,
White and Blue.


What was probably the prettiest dis
play of colors ever thrown to the winds
in Middlebury was exhibited in town
on Tuesday. The predominating colors
were of course the national red, white
and blue but they were every where so
cleverly blended that the entire effect
was most pleasing. Private residences,
business blocks and stores seem to vie
with each other in the amount and
unique display. All along the line of
march flags and bunting floated and
sincerest congratulations of the entire
effect were freely heard from our visi-
tors.
1t would be difficult to enumerate all
the display in the residential sections.
In some a single flag waved while in
others the house was bedecked in "Old
Glory" At many places the old flag
carried by the color-sergeant of the G. A.
R. was graciously dipped in honor Of
the trimmings. But it was the
business part of the town that was
especially bright. Every prominent
merchant came out with his best deco
rations and no place was to small for
some color. The store windows at
tracted large crowds of people and COM
tanned a number of clever designs.
The large window of Beckwith g. Co.,
showed the Goddess of Liberty be-
decked in silk of national colors. Two
war pictures entitled "The Battle of
Gettysburg" and THE Destruction of
Cerveras Fleet" were shown and the
entire effect was most pleasing. X. S.
Benedict had a special display of the
National Biscuit Co.'S. goods, made by
a window trimmer from Boston. The
; familiar packages were in form of two
!, high arches and each enclosing a pyra-
, mid. f. P. Cushman gave up an en-
tire window to display of bunting and
, flags. Piper & Goyett showed large
bust of Lincoln and an historic old war
picture. The latter is a steel engraving
of "MaoDonald's Victory in the Battle
: of Lake Champlain.' This picture
bears the engravers stamp of 1916 and
is the property of our veteran towns
man, L. L. Wright, Esq.
/ c. n. Atwood & Co., had their beau
tiful large show window tastefully deco
rated with red, white and blue crepe
} paper and rosettes. Some old war
? sabres were also shown. G.. f. Mar
: shall exhibited a number of old war
r muskets and sabres that have seen SER
l vice in different conflicts. These were
borrowed from the Sheldon Art
} Museum. The window that elected
the most praise was that of A. j. Black
5 mer. This showed a quiet plot of
: ground surrounded by evergreens. In
} the center was seen a soldiers grave, the
: monument at the head and foot-stone
= bearing the word Father" A large
doll was kneeliug at the grave and
strewing flowers thereon. The familiar
= marker of the G.. \. h. and stacks of
. arms completed the picture with a
f tinge of sadness.

l ing the fireworks: my, amt Middle
