The Windsor county race for states
attorney now has three entries
Charles Batchelder, the present in
cumbent of the office; E. R. Buck OF
Windsor and Homer L. Skeels of
Ludlow. Mr.. Batchelder has an
nounced that he is in favor of two
term rule, considering the value to
the county of the experience gained
in the first two years of work. Mr..
Buck is the senior candidate and
there is some feeling that the oldest
of the candidates ought to have the
position. Mr.. Skeels has good back
ing, but just how much work the as
pirants are putting into their efforts
is not very evident yet.

AS no cRuELrY NO ANIMALS.

AS TO CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
May we say just a word about cruelty
to animalsa Now over Rutland way
some three years ago at least, the
laws were strictly enforced and no
doubt are now, but hereabouts there
doesn't seem to be any law for such
cases, large manufacturing firm an
offender in this way. Only few
days ago one of their horses, sick
and in the harness, was beaten by
the driver and dropped dead in its
tracks after vainlY trying to draw its
load. Nice state of affairs! Bethel
should feel proud of this. Another
case is that of local teamster who
overloads his horse and trots and
drives beyond all reason. At least
his treatment of his horse is such
that in Rutland it would cause his
arrest in no time at all.
These are only two sample cases.
Come and look us up and you may
learn more il you care to.

NINE WAR NEAR IN OHIO.
Clash Expected At Diionviie When Strike
Breakers Begin Work.

DnLoNvuLE, May i9.-The respect
OF an armed conflict between min guards
and strikers grows hourly more serious.
The operators are bringing in non-union
men in large numbers me housing them
in the company cottag es vacated by the
strikers, while the former occupants OF the
houses stand sullenly by, covered ON
stan.ly by the Maxim gun in the oompany's
Office and watched by 100 detectives armed
with rifles and revolvers.
Thus far 200 %non-union men have been
brought into the town, and with the ad-
vent Of each trainload the situation becomes
moro threatening. On Monday there will
bs a big mass meeting at Smithfield. Miners
from the three districts will be represented,
numbering 1000 or more. National inter
prefers of the union are coming or from
Phila delphia to address the miners in their
own tongue.
At this hour OF the meeting the United
States Coal Company will make its first
attempt to run the mines.
when that attempt is made there will
be war in the valley said Vice-President
Griggs Of the miners union to-day. I'VE
do not want trouble. It is the duty Of the
officials to try to avert it. But l have seen

Circuit Judge John u. Cook to-day ad-
vised d. c. Peck, justice Of the peace of
Warren township, that he is empowered
to seize all arms and ammunition in the
hands Of the guards at the Plum Run mine
on the ground that they constitute an
armed force invading a peaoeable COM
munity with malicious intent. Justice
Peck complained that the guards are shoot
ing at inoffensive others.
Supt. Cox announces that there will be
no bloodshed except In the last extremity.
The whole county knows, however, that
both sides are prepared for a struggle to
III death.
Stu BENvILLR, o., May 19.-The coal
operators are not discouraged by the deser-
ton Of q score Of non-union miners to-day.
They chartered,a special train here tonight
and sent IL to Alliance, whore it will take
on board 400 non-union miners. 100 from
Cleveland and 800 from the West, They

The Provident Coal Company smuggled
fifty %non-unlon miners into st. Clairsville,

% YEARS OF SLOCUM FUND.
90 .1sl which the Trustees Are Directed
to Keep Unit 1899.

Supreme Court Justice Blanchard decided
yesterday that the trustees Of the ministers
committee of the ministers Of the Lutheran
Church, APPOINTED two years ago to collect
and distribute funds for the relief OF the
sufferers Of the General Slooum disaster,
must keep the balance Of s0,2sl. which nov
remains In their hands, for twenty-five
years from the date Of the institution OF
the fund, that Is until 1923.
The fund so held. Justios Blanchard
says, must be administered 90 far as possible
for the relief Of individuals who have
suffered In consequence Of the disaster.
At the end Of the twenty-five year period
q new application may be made, he says,
to the Supreme Court to determine what
shall be done with any balance then ex-
listing.
The t~rletees received $2o,sis. mostly
from unknown sources, Of which 1891
spent IS $40 on relief work, and 1881, still
remains. st. Marks Church asked TO have
the balance awarded to 1t. but considerable
opposition to this plan developed, and the
trustees decided to have q judicial opinion
on the matter.
practically no precedent in this State for
such q condition Of affairs, but under the
laws OF 1901 the Supreme Court has control
over oil gifts, donations and requests OF q
charitable, religious or educational char
aoter, and has power to direct the tenn
porary administration OF the funds when
circumstances make II impossible to comply
with the terms Of the original trust. No
final determination can be made by the
court, Justice Blanchard points out, till
twenty-five years have elasped from the
date Of the foundation Of the trust.
While it would be entirely practicable
and .perhaps advisable he Gays, 70 turn
during the ensuing years certain things
may OCCUR, now unforeseen, which would
show that q better disposition still might
be made Of the fund. At az per cent.
compounded the fund should double In
| tWenty-three years.

NEW RULE FOR WAR OFFICE.
In the Absence OF Secretary and Assistant
the Military Secretary VIII Act.

In the Absence OF secretary Assistant
the Military Secretary VIII Act.
WASHINGTON. May 1e.-The President to-
day signed q general order directing that
at any time during the absence from duty
Of the Secretary OF War and theAssistant SEQ
rotary Of War. the Military Secretary shall
be the acting Secretary. This Is entirely
now. as hitherto whenever It CHANGED that
both the Secretary and Assistant Secre-
tary were absent, the Chief of STAFF has
acted as Secretary.
The new rule is made necessary by the
fact that the present Chief Of Staf. Gen.
j. Franklin Bell. ID only q Brgadier-Gen-
eral, while his predecessors have been
Leutenant-General This fact. taken in
connection with the fact that Gen. Aims
worth, the Military Secretary, Is a Major
General, made the change necessary. II
the old rule had been allowed to remain
there would probably be q serious misunder-
standing In the War Department, as in that
case Brigadier-G General Bell would be giving
orders to his superior officer. Majo r-Gen.
