Fine of S29.24O, 900,

Judge Kenesaw M. Lands in
United States district court Satur.
day fined the Standard Oil Co.
500, 100000, the maximum amount
The company was charged with ac-
cepting rebates from the Chicago &
Alton Railroad Co. on shipments OF
oil from Whiting, Ind, to East ST.
Louis, ILL.,, in violation of the Ell
kins law. The judge read his de
cision, consuming several hours.
The s29,24O,O 900 was the maxi
mum amount upon each one of the
1852 counts of the indictment on
which that company recently was
convicted. Judge Lands also rec
commended the calling of a special
grand jury to consider proceedings
against the Chicago & Alton Rail
load Co. for the alleged commits
sion of similar offences.
The court room was crowded and
many were refused admissi' n.
A dispatch from New York says
''The Standard Oil Co. will take an
appeal to the United States circuit
court from the sentence imposed to-
day"
When the news of the Standard
Oil fine reached an official of the
company in New York he said
'@The amount of the fine is fifty
times the value of the oil carried
under the indictment. An appeal
will be made in the United States
circuit court of appeals. Attor-
neys about the city generally were
almost stunned by the magnitude OF
the fine imposed. It did not affect
the stock market.

Men Past Sixty in Danger

More than half of mankind over sixty
years of age suffer from kidney and
bladder disorders, usually enlargement
of the PROSTATE glands. This is both
painful and dangerous, and Foley's

disease, MIR. Rodney Burnett, Rock

BENNINGTON COUNTY.

One of quartette of intoxicated
women, arrested in Bennington, he
came crazy from the effects OF the
liquor and made things hum for the
neighbors until she was placed in
Jail. The crazed woman, Mrs
james Clarity. appeared on the
lawn at George F. Graves and
scratched the. coachman in the face
when he ordered her out. Then
she went into the laundry in tho
basement, smashed all the glass ware
and threw dustpan at one of the
servants, cutting his face. The
sheriff was called and she was load
ed into delivery wagon, with the
sheriff sitting on. her feet and the
postmaster holding her hands, both
trying to keep from being bitten.
Great CONSERVATION was caused
at Manchester Depot, by the lift

rectly after the opening of the after
noon performance, during terrific
thunder storm, that the wind
whirled through the tent, raising
the tent high in the air and causing
the thousand or more spectators to
think the tent was about to fall. 1t
soon settled down, however, and the
performance continued without fur

Gardens Ruined by Terrific Storm.

Gardens Ruined by Terrific Storm.
Shortly before o'clock Friday
afternoon thunder storm, accom-
panied by hail, struck Bennington
and vicinity. For fully fifteen min
utes the hail fell in such quantities
that in sheltered spots it lay upon
the ground an inch deep. The hail
was as large as marbles and irregular
pieces, measuring ree-quarters of
an inch, were picked up. After the
storm the sidewalks throughout the
village were covered with the leaves
beaten from the trees and lawns and
sbrubbery were seen to have suf-
fered badly.
1t will be impossible to estimate
the damage to crops, but the loss
will be severe. Gardens in the vii
lage are completely ruined, even the
corn being literally cut into ribbons.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and
such crops look as though they had
been subjected to severe frost.

The liquor raid at Sunderland,
July 20, seems to have stirred up
considerable feeling in the neigh
boring county of Bennington. AS
we understand the situation, the
raid was made on the saloon said to
be operated by Morrisrey Bros. of
Arlington, under q license to Merle
Pike of Sunderland which was paid
for by money furnished by the Nor
risseys. The law said to be violated
is that section making it illegal for
nonresident to sell liquor in any
town. The arrest was made on ev-
idence secured by the superintendent
of the Vermont Anti Saloon League,
q. j. Ferguson, and the men were
bound over to await the action of
the county court in December.
Comments which are likely to
arouse prejudice against either side
before the trial takes place would be
hardly proper. Nevertheless, the
interest in this case will easily be
maintained until county court con-
venes again.

According to the report of the
state insurance department, the
number of fires in Vermont during
1906 was 1925, with an aggregate
loss of $905,275. The greatest loss
was that in Rutland which amount
ed to 1895, All. The total loss in
Windham county was SAP 1903, while
that in Bennington county was only
$22,719 and that of Windsor county
$S1,4l1 There was a dropping off
of life insurance due no doubt to
the facts brought out in the recent
Investigations of the great New
York companies; but the National
Life Insurance Co., the only one
located in this state, gained over the
previous year both in the number
of policies written and the value of
them. This fact speaks highly for
that company.

Considerable anxiety is manifested
lest Senator Redfeld Proctor shall
not be able to fill out his term in the
U. S. Senate, owing to his feeble
health. Politicians are already
specializing in regard to his success
sor. 1t has been generally believed
that Senator Proctor would like to
see his place taken by his son, Gov.
+. d. Proctor, and that the latter
would be pleased to be elected to
fill the position. But in the event
of i'll health compelling the aged
senator to resign his seat, the govern
or will be called upon to appoint a
successor, and of course will have to
lay aside his own aspirations. The
expected would happen if Ex-Gov.
Page should become Senator Proc
tors successor.

A Careless Farmer Poisoned Trout in
Indian River.

Fly the carelessness of Fred c..
Nelson of West Pawlet, q farmer,
the trout in Indian river, one of the
best streams in southern Verm mt,
were nearly exterminated. Mr.. Mel
son was using Paris green and Wit
rol, mixed in barrels at the side of
the river, to kill the bugs on his po-
tato plants. The barrels were left
on the bank of the stream and when
heavy rain came large quantity
of the poison was washed into the
river, communicating the water so
badly that many brown trout and
speckled trout, some of Il pounds in
weight, were found dead.
County Fish and Game Warden
B. II. Stickney of Rutland has re-
turned from Pawlet where he went
to investigate the poisoning. A fine
of $40 and costs is prescribed by the
game laws for such cases but as Mr..
Nelson S 40 head of cattle depend
entirely on the river for drinking
water the warden decided not to
prosecute because it was evident that
there was no malice intended. 1t
happened that the rain was so Sc
we're that the cattle did not get to
the river while the poison was in it.
Mr.. Nelson has incurred the i'll
will of all the sportsmen in the vi
cinity but to square himself he has
agreed to stock the brook with fin
gerling trout next fall.

The disgust which minded
Americans have felt at the adulation
of Orchard, the wholesale butcher
of his fellow men, is only heightened
by the acquittal of the man whom
he sought to add to the shockingly
long list of his victims.
The acquittal proves. furthermore,
the unfairness and injustice of the
term undesirable citizen" applied
to the president of the United
States, who can hardly do less than
retract what he said if he still be-
lieves in the square deal. New
York American.
Massachusetts, is far and away
first of the ten wool manufacturing
states of the American Union. And
of these ten leading states, which
together produce ninety-fve per
cent of all the wooden goods made
in this. country, six are our New
England commemorative. Far
more than it is true of cottot goods
is it true of the wooden manu-
facture, that this is almost a
New England monopoly, Pennsyl-
vania, New York, New Jersey and
Ohio are the only states not of New
England in which the wooden indus
try is of any appreciate Importance
and even Vermont outranks
Ohio-Boston Transcript.
1t is impossible, on the other hand
to accept the theory suggested by
the defense, that the whole affair in
Guiding the confession of Orchard,
was a conspiracy on the part of the
mine owners association to destroy
the federation of miners. That, too,
is incredible.
1t is understood that the govern
ment will insist upon bringing Moy-
er and Pettibone to trial, notwith-
the acquittal of Haywood. If this
is done, it may be possible that new
light will be thrown upon a very
black mystery.-Boston Post.
The acquittal OF Haywood proves,
not his innocence, but the very
great difficulty of establishing con-
spiracy upon evidence that will sat
isfy the minds of jury. The fail
ure of the govell ment in the star
route prosecutions was due to it's in
ability to prove the conspiracy
char led in the indictments. That
fate has befallen the prosecution in
the Idaho trial New York Times.
A jury composed of puppets of
plutocracy" packed to convict Hay
wood, after carefully weighing all
the evidence in the case, decided
that he was not guilty. In short
the puppets of plutocraey' brought
in the same verdict as the unofficial
jury of socialists.
What becomes of the "conspir-
acy?" What becomes of all this
cheap socialistic buncombe designed
to delude the weakminded and SOW
the seeds of class war What be-
comes of the agitators and dema-
gogues to whom due process of law
has SO fatty given the lie?
If socialism really was Cd trial
with Haywood, then socialism is
convicted of being an ass.-New
