A TURNING or TIE TIDE.
(from tho Barre Times.

There is so much said about the migra-
tory movement of Ncrmonters to the
western territory that II is positively re-
frcshing to read now and then of II turn
i'm the tide, that while Vermont is con-
stantly losing a virilc part of its popula-
ton through inducements that the great
West offers, there is an intiuv to YER
mont from that same West Ever since
the middle of the last century, when tho
allurements of gold produced mirage
before the vision OF Nermonters. the old
state has lost year after year no incon-
siderable portion of its young men and
its young women, to whom the rocky,
hillside farm appeared barren and cheer
less, and to whose fancy the West offered
everything, not alone wealth, but also
health and its accompaniment, happi-
ness. The drain on the vitality of tho
commonwealth here was Il heavy one and
explains the stagnation as regards popu-
lation. But the turning of the tide Ncr-

is illustrated in the settlement. in the

wrote back such glowing accounts of tho

This was only three years ago. Now,
however, there are about thirty families
from Dakota settled in and around Hart

STRUGGLE FOR EVIDENCE

DIR. DcIchnnty Found Guilty.

Rutland, Feb. 23.-While the spectators
applauded and the respondents counsel
urged ON his client. the States attorney
Of Rutland county and the respondent in
the case of the State against DR.. n. j.
Dclchanty struggled with their whole
strength for possession Of evidence for
several seconds before city Judge Willis
Nj. Ross while the latter remained mute
and apparently helpless in his office this
afternoon. 1t was one of the spcctacles
which have become more or less familiar
to attendants at the city court for the
last few months and came as the State.
attorney stated. pretty near to contemp,
of court" The court apparently did moi
consider it as such and the matter was
passed over without even rebukc for the
participants.
DR.. Dclehanty was tried before City
Judge Ross at the latter's office on
the charge of violating the State laws
requiring physicians to report cases OF
communicate diseases. The case in
question was one of menlbranous
Group, which caused the death of the
1O-months- old child of Mr.. and Mrs
G. Mahoney. Tho respondent was found
guilty and fined so and costs, amount
ing in all to $23.33. He took an appeal
and furnished bail in 500.
DR. c. S. Caverly, president OF the
state board of health, testified that the
three names Group. membranous Group
and diphtheria, mean the same disease
He said there was form of throat
disease which is sometimes called Group
by the Iaymen. but never by the mcdi-
cal profession.
The respondent when called to the stand
said he thought the death of the Child
was not due to Group but to heart failure
He did not consider Group as diphtheria
but rather the opposite. His professo,
had taught him that mcmbranous GROUP
and catarrhal Group were the same and
not contagious, as diphtheria but rather
the opposite.
The respondent started to read from q
look, but was stopped by states At
torney r. A. Lawrence, who grabbed hold
nf the hook. demanding that ne he al

visod him to hang on and he did so, both
pulled at it until it was torn. The scene
was finally stopped by the court.
Tho court held the respondent guilty
declaring he had either been negligent Oh
careless.
