Going Further West.

The drift of population from the East
to the West is still going on but there
are indications that the West-that is
what is called Vests pulling up stakes
and going farther west. Iowa, for in
stance, has actually decreased in popula-
ton Turing the past five years, II the
census is accurately taken. In 1900 the
population was given as 1921 s53. The
figures for 1905, just completed, give only
2216,06S a falling off of over 10, 900
Located in the, heart of the rich agri-
cultural districts Iowa is in position to
thrive, and 1t may be thriving. But that
the population is falling off is apparent
Farming does not appeal to all classes
however, and Iowa may be about to
experience the same exodus Of its popula-
ton that Vermont had in the middle OF
the nineteenth century.

Col. Estey of the National Guard.
[Barre Times.1


Col. ]. Gray Estey of Brattleboro, COM
handing the Vermont National Guard,
says that the encampment of the state
troops during the last ten days was the
most satisfactory in years" An old
army officer is reported to have said that
Col. Estey Stands at the head of the
militia colonies of the United States in
ability and military science" The two
statements, made independently, give an
idea Of the conditions that exist today
in the state militia. Although a young
officer, Col. Estey is bringing the guard
to high rank of military efficiency. He
commands the respect of the men in the
regiment. This fact, coupled with his
knowledge of military tactics and his
faculty for leadership, make in him an
ideal commander of the troops. The men
who go to muster cannot fail to return
with better equipment for service II ever
they should be called upon to offer that SER
vice, which everyone hopes and anticipates
will not be necessary they could quite
readily be placed on a footing for prompt
action. All reports of the encampment,
which closed Saturday bear out Col.
Esteys statement that 1t has been one of
the most beneficial in years. The reported
statement concerning the commanding
officer, although a sweeping compliment
to Col. Estey, is yet not without the pos
sible and the probable. Whether or not
Col. Estey stands at the head, YER
monters know that he stands very well.

INDEPENDENTS LOST FIRST GAME
Defeated 1912 by Ludlow as Result Of
Combination Of Hits and Errors When
Game Was in Hand


Murder in the first degree-not simply
manslaughter-should be the verdict of
the crime Committed against the national
game Saturday when the Ludlow and
Brattleboro Independent teams met on
the island grounds in a contest which
stood 10 to - in favor of the visitors.
There is but little complimentary and
much denunciatory to be said of the con-
test The local players batted Lockwood
freely from the start and the proposition
looked like a cinch up to the seventh
inning, as Cooley was holding the Ludlow
hitters at bay, only three hits having
been made up to that time. Then came
a combination of seven errors and sew
eral hits and when the clouds rolled away
Ludlow held the narrow lead of one point
which was maintained at the finish. r.
Allen put the ball over the right field
bank for n home run and slammed the
ball to the outer garden for two bag ger.

the cafe at Fulton, has located IN
Union City in charge Of the famous
original Dahnke's cafe instituted at
this place nearly twenty years ago
and which has been in constant and
successful operation during that
time. The concern is one of the
best known of the kind in the State.
For several years the founder, Mr..
Geo. Dahnke, has been compelled
to give his attention to the Dahnke-
Walker Milling Co. mills and is
therefore unable to personally look
after the cafe. Mr.. Wuench has
considerable experience in the BUSH
ness and is known to be capable in
every way to succeed to the man
of this business. He will

Going to The Theatre.

Captain ]. G. Reynolds, who is
always looking out for the interest
of the opera house and it's patrons,
desires to make some very pertinent
suggestions respecting late corners,
or those who attend the play arriv-
wing after the curtain rises on the
first act. 1t is desired of every one
who can possibly do so that they
be in their seats at s 30, at which
time the play usually begins. This
gives every body ample time to dress
and reach the theatre after supper.
1t is very little inconvenience to
those, OF course, who come late,
but greatly disturbs those who are
in their seats and trying to hear
the words Of the play. Now, Man
ager Reynolds wishes his patrons
to voluntarily make a reform in this
line. In tact he authorizes us to
say that he would be under many
obligations to them if they would
do so. But unless this takes place,
he feels like he will be compelled
to do something out of considera-
tion for those who are in their seats
promptly. 1t is the custom in some
places that those who come late are
required to wait until the curtain
falls before they can be seated. In
some cases they are provided with
rear seats temporarily and in others
they are required to stand. How
over this may he, Mr.. Reynolds
saws he is as much indebted to
those who cmoe promptly as he is
to those who come late and makes
these suggestions and observations
in order to possible to avoid any
friction which may otherwise come

Tex, returning to locate at his

became identified in many ways
with our people and enjoyed what
he rightly deserved the confidence
and esteem of every body who knew
him. He is son of Judge Head, a
distinguished and we'll known Tex
an, and is worthy descendant of
the name, and it is indeed a matter
OF very serious regret to his many
friends here that Mr.. Head decides
to return to Sherman. He was
broad and catholic in his views,
generous in nature, delightful
companion, and it is pleasure to
remember his associations Sher-
man will profit by the change.

Hyomei Cures cGttdnh BY Simple Breath
ing. The Red Cross Drug Store Refund
Money II 1T fails to Cure.
A long stride towards solving the
mystery of curing catarrah was taken
with the discovery Of Hyomei In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh OF the
nose, throat and lungs has been real
lied by physicians. but not until Hy-
omei was known, had they a practical
method that would obyiate stomach
ach drugging.
"a complete Hy0mei outfit costs but
SI00, and consists of neat pocket in
haler that can be used anywhere with
dropper and bottle Of Hyomei. Elk
ira BOTTLES of Hyonei cost but soc.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler, every particle of air that enters
the nose, throat and lungs, is charged
with healing balsam that soothes
and allays all irritation, kills the cat
arrahal germs and enriches the blood
with additional ozone.
The Red Cross Drug Store has so
much faith In the power OF Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that they are selling it
under their personal guarantee to re-
fund the money il it does not give
positive relief.

ARIZONA.
A Good Play, But Not a Dollar and
q Half Attraction.


That was the general verdict last
week respecting Arizona at Rey-
,nolds Opera Honse. It was good
show, but not dollar and halt
attraction. The Commercial was
misled and so was Manager Rey-
nolds as to the character OF the per-
Torrance through correspondence
with Mr. Raymond, who is manager
of the company. He forwarded
some literature advertising "a PEG.
pie and musical extravaganza.
That was before the regular billing
was done. Neither Mr.. Reynolds
nor the publishers knew anything
about Arizona, hence announce
ment was made in this paper that
the performance was a musical ex-
travaganza with "a people. The
fact is that Mr.. Raymond has four
companies with about IA people al
together and one of the attractions
is a musical entertainment. Arizo-
ma, however, is nothing more than
a war play, very good one though
by the author of Alabama, which
is well known all over the country.
As soon as Manager REYNOLDS found
out this fact he wired Mr. Raymond
Immediately that he could not afford |
to ask 81. so seat for the attrac-
t1on, but Raymond froze to the
contract and hence the reason the
best seats sold for S1.50. Mr. Rey-
nolds authorizes us to state that he
will never be caught in a trap of
that kind again, and that no at
traction will be given at Reynolds
Opera House in the future al that
price unless the attraction is abso-
lutely first-class and is never known
to show for less money. He hopes,
however, during the next season to
present one or two of the standard
but when he does the
public will have positive guaran-
tee that they are not paying dol
ar and half for dollar show.
AS we said, Arizona is fair dol
ar show. The company included
about eighteen people of fair abili-
y. The play was built by Mr..
Thomas, but it is not so good as
Alabama, and is lacking many
which made Gillette's Sc
ret Service worthy of patronage.

WAR UPON GRAFT HAS
BEEA BEGUN IN EARNEST
From Globe D Democrat

The conviction of United States Senator John II.
Nltchel OF oregon shows that no station, however high,
can save a person from punishment for violation of law
in this country when the evidence against hin is clear.
Mitchell was charged with violating the provision of the
United States statute which declares mo senator. after
his election and during his continuance in office, shall
receive or agree to receive any compensation whatever,
directly or indirectly for any service rendered or TO be rem
dered to any person, either by himself or another. in rela-
to any proceeding, contract, claim, controversy or
other matter or thing in which the United States is q
party or directly or indirectly interested, before any de-.
partment, bureau. officer, or any civil, military or naval
commission whatever The senator held one of the
highest offices in the country's gift. He had been prcgni.
nent in politics and in social life for a third of a century.
He is 10 years of age, is wealthy, had powerful friends all
over the country and all the resources which money and
legal skill could supply were at mis- command. Yet he
was convicted by a jury of his ~neighbors. and the evil
dence against him was so strong that eleven jurors were
for conviction from the outset, and the twelfth was soon
won over to their side.
An appeal is to be had to the supreme court at Wash
ington but the only effect which this is Likely to nave is
to Delay the punishment which the Jaw prescribes for the
onense. This is an Imprisonment of not more than two
years and a fine of not above 10000. Pull has been
powerless to save Mitchell thus far, and it will fail in the
subsequent proceedings. The senator's fate proves that
the courts can usually be depended on to deal out equal
Justice to the rich and the poor, the high and the low.
Notwithstanding the attacks which are made from time
TO time on the jury system, and in which Secretary Taft
recently Joined, juries can ordinarily be relied on to carry
out the law. An example was needed to show that there
was no truth in the old taunt that a millionaire could
steal without fear of pun shment. The case of Begelow,
the MILWAUKEE, banker, who Is serving his time behind the
bars, proves that this sneer is false as regards onenses
of private citizens. Mitchells case sho VS. it to be equally
untrue as respects wrongdoing in public station.
And this is only the beginning in the prosecutions for
land frauds which are likely to reveal the most extensive
scheme OF corruption and general rescality in the annals
of the United States government. Many other men hold
Ing public office are involved. All will be brought 10 i'm
mediate trial. The case against each will be pressed with
all the rigor which the law prescribes and which the
administration at Washington demands. If guilt is proven.
punishment is certain, There will be no escape for the
| malefactors.
