man, DR.. c. NJ. Ferrin. The next meeting
of the association will be held at Essex

the guest of the state, was present and
was one of the after-dinner speakers.
Maj ]. l.. Barstow was POSTMASTER and
among the other speakers were ex-Gov.

James II. Williams, yesterday assumed
the position of treasurer of the Bellows
Falls Savings institution, taking the place
of his uncle, John II. Williams, who had
held the position continuously since April,
1875. The plans OF John II. Williams are
not matured for future movements, but
as he has passed all his past life here and
has many close social and business rela-
tionships It is not probable he will move
from town. He retains his position as a
trustee. The following is the present
board Of trustees of this institution, with
the years of election: John II. Williams,
1873; Albert N. Swain, 1882; Hugh Henry

As to Deer kIIIIna.


We agree entirely with the editor OF
the Bennington Banner that this article
from the Montpelier Journal is the best
thing that has been said on the deer
hunting question by a Vermont paper
this fall:
THE deer season has opened with its
usual crack of rifles, death agonies and
stark carcasses in front of the local meat
shops. The true sportsman follows the
ancient practice:
Though space and law the stag We
lend
Ere hound we slip, or bow we bend
with him we have no serious quarrel
But the fiinty-souled slayer who feeds
the deer In his barnyards all summer
lays a salt trail with devilish cunning
until a stag or two comes regularly for
the saline solace, then, at the crack Of
dawn on the first day of legalized slaugh-
ter. shoots down his children's pets and
calls 1t sport, ought to be rawhided with
twisted thongs from the murdered brute's
hide.
"Ethically speaking. deer should never
be shot save to furnish food to satisfy
hunger. The man-animal, equipped with
his sinister engines OF death, is permitted
to take what he needs for food We go
further, In this callous age, and find little
fault with the sportsman who shoots
a spikehorn buck for his trophy or with
the angler who strings a hundred tender
trout together to make dainty dish for
his friends. But we ought to ostracize
from the society of his kind the DELHI
crate slaughterer who establishes a salt
lick, tames a deer until It loses its nat
ural fear of man, then shoots II down
without mercy.
Law won't touch such a man, but the
press might publish his infamy and his
friends might greet him with the same
cold disfavor that attends the filth who
cheats at cards. blackens a woman's
fame or breaks his word OF honor.
''These are punishments more severe
than law, more lasting than fine or Inn
prisonment. Invoke them for the killer
of tame deer"

George 3. wheeier's sale Of His Laundry
Business.

A business change of some local i'm
portance has taken place the last week
in the sale of the laundry business which

George B. Wheeler, to two of his work
men, Ralph Reynolds and Robert r. Shell
ley. The business is to be continued by
them under the name of The Wheeler
Steam Laundry" Mr.. Wheeler establish
ed the business here in connection with
an extensive shirt factory in the spring
of 1881, and has built the business up to
patronage of creditable proportions, prob
ably not exceeded by any laundry in New
England outside the large cities. The
agents of the business are located in near
ly all the large towns of New Hampshire
and Vermont, as well as in Western Mas
sachusetts. He has done a large business
in college towns, and in this particular
line his work has always been popular.
Mr.. Wheeler has no plans regarding flu
ture movements, but says he is going to
take his first vacation in 25 years and
then see what he will do. Mr.. Reynolds
has been with him II years and Mr.. Shell
ley three years, and both are well and
favorably known w. Il. Bowtell, who
has been with Mr.. Wheeler the last 10
years, finished his work there Monday
morning. at which time the new propri
etorship began. Mr.. Wheeler does not sell
the real estate but leases It and all APP
planes for n term of years. Mr.. Rey-
nolds has his home between here and
Saxtons River, while Mr.. Shelley came
here a few years ago from Putney.

DETAILS ARE NOT
GIVEN TO PUBLIC
Confession of Steve Adams Regard.
ing Steunenberg Murder With
held From the Public.
THE MYSTERY DEEPrNS
SOMETHING ABOUT ADAMS IN
COLORADO.

Boise, Ida, March 3.-Nothing what
ever has been learned respecting the
confession made by Steve Adams to
Detective MCFARLAND beyond the gen
eral statement made in these dis
patches last night. The authorities
refuse absolutely to make public any
of the details That the confession
covers wide field is indicated by the
time consumed in taking it down.
When Adams was ready to make his
detailed statement MCFARLAND went to
the prison with a photographer and the
prisoners statement was taken down
by the latter. They worked between
seven and eight hours on each of the
two days, Tuesday and Wednesday,
and the entire confession is thought to
contain some $4,000 words, being more
vOluminOus than that Of Orchard.
Adams was in the Cripple Creek re-
gion in Colorado during the labor
troubles there and was arrested in
connection with an attempt to wreck
train. He was also arrested in con-
nection with the explosion in the Vim
dicatOr shaft. He is said to have dis
appeared from the Cripple Creek dis
trict shortly after the explosion at the
Independence depot. He is a large
man with f1orid face and sandy hair
Captain Swain of Thiel's detective
agency has a picture of him taken at
Cripple Creek when he was under ar
rest. He closed his eyes when having
the picture taken. The grand jury at
Caldwell adjourned at noon today I'M
til Monday.
