With the use of chemically pure glycer.

laboratory apparatus and appliances
specially invented and designed to carry
on the delicate processes employed, Dr.
Pierce finally found that all the mcdici.

Stowe, State fish and game commits
sioner, was in town to-day on his way
from Montreal, where he, as chairman
Of a committee from Vermont and New
York. attended a session of the Quebec
association for the protection of fish and
game. At this meeting amendments to
the existing fish and game laws of the
province were considered and netting in
all the provincial inland waters. includ-
ing Missisquoi bay, was recommended
prohibited. Premier Provost in an address
before the association declared that he
would not in the future grant any liz

prevent such fishing This attitude was
very pleasing to Mr.. Thomas and in his
opinion Vermonters and Canadians will
in the future unite to prohibit all such
scining and fishing in provincial and YER

Brattleboro. Dec. 1.-THE largest failure
which Brattleboro has ever known was
revealed tonight when Charles II. Thomp-
son filed Il petition in bankruptcy with
liabilities OF over slOl,oOO and assets of
about $4,000. including real estate to the
value of $1,000 and stocks and bonds
amounting to $3.50 The largest unse-

J. a. Cawlcy, Boston, $500; Whipplc.
Sears and Ogden. Boston. $1,000; Webster
& Atlas National bank. Boston. $1,000.
Mr. Thompson was teller in the Yer
mont National bank up to about two years
ago, but for some time he had been en-
gagged in large operations. holding real
estate and timber land and having a vari-
ETY. of business connections. He finished
work in the bank shortly after suit was
brought against him for an accounting in
the Mary Goodhue estate. A private set
Element was reached in this case.
! The past two years Mr.. Thompson ha s
been at the head of the Brattloboro Manu-
featuring company, hosiery concern
which has been doing an apparent bust
ness several months. His schedule shows
large dealings with people, both here and
in other places. but the liabilities arc
mostly on accounts with people in Bos-
ton and other cities.

powered to vote every saloon from its
borders"
ENFORCE LAW AGAINST AUToIsTs.
The automobile question is treated in
these words
Resolved, That the automobile question
greatly concerns the interests of our
rural communities. Accidents of the
most shocking nature have not been I'M
common, and in many sections travel
has been reduced to the driving abso-
business, depriving pleasure driving for
| fear of accidents That autoists have
equal rights we do not question, but
the Grange should stand together in the
enactment and enforcement of wise law,
with sufficient penalties attached for
their violation, which will cause less
reckless driving on our streets"
| The resolutions also favor the consoli-
dation of country schools. and the adop-
ton of the system of district high

Besides the expenditure by the manu-
featuring concerns already noted, in the
way of new buildings, additions and
permanent improvements, good sum has
been expended elsewhere. outside of resi-

House. 1t is SO feet long, one part is SO
feet wide and another part Is SO feet wide.

notable improvements have been made,
including the introduction OF the Lamson
cash carrier system.
One of the handsomest residences built
during the year is that erected by DIR. F.
H. O'Connor between the Brooks library
and the First Baptist church. 1t is az
stories high, attractive in design and
thoroughly modern in equipment.
Frederic C. Adams has built house
2h stories high at the corner Of North
and Tyler streets, the foundation for
which was put in last autumn. 1t is
thoroughly appointed and well built.
Where the old Reed Castle stood on
Green street there have sprung up during
the year four cottage houses. built by
Harry L. Emerson, all attractive in APP
pearance.
Charles NJ. Wheeler has nearly finished
a modern and convenient two-story house
on Pearl street. Two houses on Clark
street will go in this years record. One
is owned by Daniel Crowley and has two
tenements and the other is being built by
Patrick Fleming and also is for two
families. A handsome two-story resi-
dence, now nearly completed, is being
built on Canal street, near the school
house, by o. d. Stowell. William Martin
has put up a good two-story house on
Elliot street In place of a small building
which he tore down. L. F. Adams has
