Bellows Falls, Aug. 21.-Jamcs
Mitchell. the Grafton murderer. who
killed Mrs. Linnie Rankin. will be tax
en- to Newfane jail Wednesday. AS the
result of an operation by Drs. Gorham
of Bellows Falls and Gilbert of Graf
ton, Mitchell now has "a good chance of
recovery. The bullet which Mitchell fir
ed through his head entered the right
side and passing back of the left eye
left it in such a condition that 1t had
to be removed.
He has had little to say since the day
following the murder and in that lit
tie has expressed no regret for his
rash deed. 1t is possible that Mitchclls
cycsight is not entirely destroyed. a
part of the optic nerve of the right eye
remains and under favorable conditions
partial sight may be restored but it is
not probable.
He will be tried for murder in the
first degree. the state having evidence
which warrants the charge and the in
dictmcnt drawn to-day by States At
torncy II. d.. Ryder of Bellows Falls
gives murder as the contention of the
State.
Acknowledgement Fits and states
Attorney Ryder will go to Grafton to-
morrow to take evidence previous to
Mitchell's removal, but it is not likely
that the case will be tried before the
April term of court.
The coming term opens next week
and Mitchclls condition will not war;
rant his appearance at that time.

Denver, Jan. 10.-The annual con-

today, the initial session being de-
voted to the exchange of greetings
and the work of organization The
roll showed large and representa-
tive attendance.
The convention, which will be in
session during the remainder of the
week, promises to be the most import
anS held by the association since 1t
was organized I'm this city a dozen
years ago. While legislative and other
public questions in which the stock
raisers are interested will be discuss
ed, the principal business of the con-
vention will be to revise the constitu-
ttion and bylaws Of the association so
as TO admit to membership others
than those actively engaged in stock
raising. Heretofore the membership
has been strictly confined to the stock
raisers themselves, but it is now felt
that the interests of all concerned
could be better subserved by taking in
all who are concerned directly or in
directly in the livestock industry To
this end 1t is possible that the bylaws
will be changed so as to admit not
only the breeders of all kinds of live
stock, but commission men, packers,

Young Women S Habits

1t a man wants to contract a
debt, the prospective creditors
look up not only his financial
standing, but his habits and char
acter. 1t may be source of sur
prise to some people to know that
they also want to know about his
wlfe's habits, tastes and ambi.
tons, but these are matters which
are weighed and which have their
part in the decisions.
Life insurance companies are
probably the most searching ones
in such matters; and they investi-
gate matters which the rank and
file of US would not think would
make any difference, before they
write insurance on your life for
any sum, and the larger the sum
the closer and more thorough the
investigation.
First they examine the applicant
for physical condition. They re-
quire information about his ances-
tors for two or more generations,
and search closely for evidence
