We think we can cure bad case of back
ache quicker with one OF Carter's smart
weed and belladonna backache plasters, than
by any other application, and after the back
ache Is cured you can still wear the plaster
without discomfort for two or three weeks, or
longer This combination of smartweed and

Armed Men Guard Granite Quarry
in West Rutland

Mr. Eastman, Despite Court Order, Re-
fuses to Give Up Observation-Disclosures
Man Dead Under Suspicious creum-
stances.
TWENTY-FIVE armed men are on guard
at the Eastman marble quarry in West
Rutland to prevent the receivers of the
Columbian Quarry company from taking
possession of the premises, owing to an
order granted by Judge Powers of the
supreme court at Montpelier Tuesday.
Inc order is designed to enable the re-
ceivers to use the machinery of the
quarry for the purpose of taking out
marble which 1t is alleged the Eastman
concern was under contract TO the Column
bian company to furnish for filling GER
tain orders.
In addition to the firearms with which
the guards stationed by the Eastman
company are equipped, a steampipe has
been arranged in a position where steam
can be used effectively upon any force
attempting to enter the property. Late
last night Deputy Sheriff folly arrived
at the scene to preserve order, but there
had been no conflict of any sort. Two
representatives of the receivers were also
there and were being Hospitality treated
though the representatives of the East
man company persisted in their deter
mination not to turn the plant over to
them.

under the water wheel of his grlst mill
Sunday the body of George A. Baker, 60
of Brandon. There was a deep cash
in his forehead. The fact that in his
clothes only $3.50 could be found is re-
garded as suspicious, as Baker usually
carried large roll of bills. Mr.. Baker
was last seen at o'clock Saturday even
ing at Cartoons livery stable in Fair
Haven. His watch stopped at $40, and II
is believed he met death at that time
The sides of the highway bridge are
guarded by high ratings and it is diff
cult to see how the man could have fallen

who manufactured butter tubs and ran a
saw mill. grist mill and cider mill, was
not a drinking man, was of a cheerful dis
position, and. so far as known, had nc
business troubles. He Is survived by q
wife, two sons and daughter.

dustriaI parade which took place here
today as the principal spectacular fea-
ture Of the Jubilee celebration, was
the largest and most imposing process
sion ever seen in this city. 1t is es-
timated that there were about 10000
men in line, besides a large number
of floats, which greatly added to the
length of the procession. Every branch
of industry was represented in the pa
rade. The Baltimore e. Ohio railroad

many large factories and other estab-
lishments had from 500 to 1000 men
to represent them. The various city
departments, excepting the fire depart
ment, which will have Its own special
parade tomorrow, were represented
and made a fine display. Nearly
every prominent society and social or
labor Organization had furnished a
strong contingent and many OF the
organizations being handsomely unl-

1t Was Erected at Cost of $4,000
and There Was Considerable Liti-
cation.

,Minot, N. D., Sept. 12.-The COM
missioners of Ward county have been
notified by the United States govern
ment that the bridge recently finished
across Lake Des Laos must be remov-
ed as the lake Is navigable stream
and the bridge is an unwarrantable
obstruction. The cost of the bridge
was $4,000. There was litigation over
the payment for it as the county au-
ditor refused to sign the warrants,
but the courts decided in favor Of the
bridge company. The commissioners
have appealed to Senator Hansbrough
and Congressman Marshall to secure
some action of congress to prevent the
removal of the bridge, which is of
great convenience to the farmers on
the east side of the lake in getting
to market.

the Medina Milling & Elevator Co. f.
p. Olson president. The output is in
regular demand locally and there is

Two large grain elevators and fiat

mands this year Notwithstanding the
increased capacities at some of the
nearby sidings where elevators have
been erected.
Last year witnessed a big move
ment of new immigration into sections
tributary to Medina and this year
there were thirty-five cars of settlers
effects and stocks received at the de-
pot here. Some reflection of the new
prosperity is shown in the enormous
business done in the local lumber
yards and machinery warehouses. Last
year over forty binders and headers
were sold outright and the yields of
wheat and flax kept every machine at
high pressure the whole of the har-
vesting weeks.
Churches.
The Roman Catholics have a very
attractive church structure and it is
splenddly maintained by a large con-
gregation which is drawn from ada

branch which is contemplating the
erection of a church home and par

zIoNITEs IN S. D.
Sixty Families to Establish Homes in
Sister State.

Aberdeen, S. d., Sept. 12.--Sixty
families from Zion City will establish
homes in Butte county, South Dakota,
within the next few weeks. This an
nouneement was made today by r. ".
Iverson of the Illinois city, who ar
rived here on his way to Evarts,
where he will go to the new country
by automobile and secure large tract
of land for the disconnected Zionists
The deserters from Elijah ii will num-
Der $40 souls counting men, women
and children and Iverson said that
many more will join when they see
the others leaving.
Explaining the reason for the exodus
from Zion City, Iverson said that dis
satisfaction is spreading throughout
the city and he predicts that 1T will be
only question of few months, if the
present conditions continue, till there
will be so few in the former Dowie
stronghold that the whole scheme will
| fail and the once fIourishing city be
deserted. He said that he was COM
missioned to go to Butte county and
secure options on land enough for
about eighty families, sixty having al
ready decided to leave, and the 9TH
ers will follow in a few weeks He
expects to be gone about month
and does not anticipate any difficult
ty in finding the land. He said that
when the families move there, they
will establish a colony. worship as they
choose and eventually build schools
and remain together. They expect
many others will join them from the
former promised land and enough land
will be held to enable the colony to
spread and perhaps in time establish
city of their own. Iverson said that
the families that intend moving have
done with DoWie, Voliva and all the
leaders, and all they want is to get
away where they can reap the fruits
of their toll and spend their days in
quietness as BELTS their religious
views.

SCHOOL UNIONSM.
PHILADELPHIA UNIONS MAKE A
QUEER DEMAND.
They Want All School Children to Be
Compelled TO Wear Union Buttons
on Penalty Of Expulsion-storm of
Protest Aroused.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-"Closed
schools" is the latest adaptation of
the principles of trade unionism which
members of the Central Labor union,
Philadelphia's paramount labor body,
want to see carried out.
Children are to wear to school the
union buttons OF their fathers crafts.
The non-union child is to have
brought home to him or her, by ulti-
mate expulsion, a realizing sense of
the danger of defying unionism.
Lessons on the evils of the omen
shop will form part of the future
curriculum, as advocated by the school
reformers yesterday.
The matter came before the union
by reason of a complaint, concerning
a trades school, which the board of
education will open as an adjunct to
the public school system this week.
The city already has manual train
ing school on the high school order.
but the new school is designed to af-
ford more elementary instruction.
Boys will be admitted from the age
OF 15 years up in the day classes.
They will receive instruction in
bricklaying, bookmaking, printing,
painting and many other crafts.
A delegate from the Bookbinders'
union presented a series of resolutions
from. his organization calling on all
union men to take notice of the in
novation and to reflect on it's possible
consequences. 1t was declared that
the school would he nursarx, fo,,
non unionists, and that young men
graduated after three years course,
would take the jobs from union men.
1t was resolved that a committee
of five argue with the members of
the board of education responsible for
the trades school proposition. Anoth-
er committee was named to push the
unionization of schools and begin a
campaign of education in other cities
through the central labor bodies

PATRICK HENRY's DESCENDANT.
She Is to BE Evicted From Her Home
in Chicago.

Chicago, Sept 12-Mrs. Emily
White, SO years old, who says she is
q granddaughter of the illustPious
Patrick Henry expects to be evicted
from her shabby home at S116 Armour
avenue. She is a. paraIytic, confined to
bed, and in kddition suffers with
rheumatism and heart trouble.
DR.. Andrew L. Smith who visited
the invalid some days ago, at the SOL
icitation of the bureau of charities,
when eviction was threatened, declar-
ed that any effort to remove the wo-
man WOULD result in her death. Not
withstanding this. according to those
in the house, constable called Satur-
day, and roughly announced that the
house would have to be vacated, and
that an ambulance would be furnish
ed to convey the invalid to the poor
house.
For SIX years, during which time
she has been unable to leave her house
the aged woman has been cared for by
her daughter. Mrs. Martha Williams,
5S years old, who also is so crippled
with rheumatism and illness that for
many months she has been unable to
earn enough money to properly care
for her mother and herself.
During this time they have depend
ed solely upon a monthly pension of
$12 from the government. because the
son and brother, Marcus White, served
as soldier in the Fifth Massachu-
sets cavalry during the civil war
and there contracted chronic illness,
from which he died in 1887
Mrs. White is the daughter of Reu-
ben Henry. who. she claims, was the
SON of Patrick Henry by common
law marriage with an Indian woman,
who bore him two daughters and a
son. Later, according to the story,
when the statesman refused to formally
legalize the marriage, the Indian wo-
man returned to her tribe, taking with
her the two daughters, but leaving the
boy, Reuben, with the father.

The Next RattIeship.

Washington Sept. 1.-THE naval
constructors who are engaged on the
plans for the battleship authorized at
the last session of congress are some
what embarrassed by the indefinite
terms of the law providing for that
vessel. The qualities mentioned by
congress for the new battleship re-
quire characteristics which are equal
to those OF eanys known vessel Of the
battleship class. This meant at the
time of the enactment the design of
battleship which would be the equal
at least of the English Dreadnaught,
and 1t Is to this end that the naval
constructors have been working They
are now asking themselves whether
the introduction of the new Italian
battleship. described as the superior of
the Dreadnaught, does not present adj
ditionals requirements and exact s0me-
thing Of the battleship designers which
they had not counted on. OF course,
it lis possible TO regard the Dread
naught as the standard, and to ignore
anything which is merely described as
SURPRISING It. At the same time it
lis realized that the situation may pro-
woke critics OF the navy and oppon-
ents OF naval increase to obstruction
OF the plans for Improvement hereaf-
ter, and some of the more apprehen-
sive OF naval officers are predicting q
lively debate in congress when the

quickly supplied until today there is
hardly business line not represented
to a smaller or lesser extent.
Land Values.
The successes of the farmers are re-
ffected in the rise in the price of lands.
Wild lands which in 1901 were offered
at $3.50 an acre are now being sold at
from $40 to SIS an acre Half a sec
ton recently changed hands at SO an
acre which the buyer could have
bought in the fall of 1901 at Sc and
to add value to his present holding
the increased price had to be paid in
order to secure it. A business lot
near the principal hotel at Medina, on
the main business street, which was
bought four years ago for $50 is under
refusal at $3.50, AS an index to the ex-
tent of the new settlement and the
progress of the extensive tilling which
is going on may be mentioned the
fact that twelve of the largest sized
steam pillow rigs have been working
continuously on the fertile regions trib-
utary to Medina since the opening of
the present farming season. One man
said to the writer that there was no
good farmers were harvesting nice
plump barley averaging fifty bushels
to the acre on land which cost SIS an
acre when there were no better yields
from lands which they farmed in the
east in limited areas, and which were
valued at from $50 to SIS an acre.
Water and Fuel.
In addition to the wonderful fer
tility of the hereabouts broad acres
the latter abound with good water
supplies, splendid flowing wells from
ten to thirty feet deep. There r.,
also the advantage of close proxint v
to Ignite coal mines from which good
fuel at little above mining costfca
be had in unlimited quantities and
purchased as it is in carload lots the
problem of fuel is not one of great
concern.
Dairying and Stock.
That there is profit and encouraging
returns from diversification is indicat-
ed in the efforts of the farmers to
improve the breeds of stock and
horses. After only two or three years
many Of the new Corners have realiz-

There are now about 100 patrons COW
ering an area of about twenty miles.
The management the last month or
two has noticed a great increase in
the care of and quality of the cream.
The output is shipped west to points
in the state of Washington and COM
mands 35 cents a 100 pounds over the
New York quotations for extra quail
ty.
In connection with the general in
fusion of pure blood among the herds
and fiocks there are at Marston Moor,
a postotfice eighteen miles northwest
of Medina, a number of farmers who
are admirers of the mule as working
stock on the farm and believe them to
be useful as well as economical and
for breeding purposes have imported a
pure bred Kentucky jack Last fall
there were twenty eight cars of fat
steers shipped from this station.
