A NEW INDUSTRY
COMING TO TOWN
Lowell Scale Company Expects U
Move to Brattleboro in September
will Occupy Old Carriage
Shop on Williams Street.

Arrangements for bringing a new
industry to Brattleboro have been
practically completed by the local
board of trade. The Lowell Scale
company of Lowell, Mass, manufac.
turers of medium.priced platform and
counter scales, has agreed to take the
old Williams carriage shop on VIII
liams street. The concern will move
its plant from Lowell to Brattleboro
in September and expects to be run
ming regularly by October l. The
Lowell Scale company has been in
business for l6 years and has out
grown its present quarters at Cos Mid
dlesex street in that city. It is com
ing to Brattleboro with the intention
of materially enlarging its output,
having heretofore assembled scales
which il will now manufacture. a
comparatively small number of peo-
pie are employed by the company at
the present time but its change in To-
cation will bring several new families
to Brattleboro and the probability is
that the force will be increased as
soon as business is started here. The
board of trade has been working on
the Lowell Scale company proposition
for considerable time, but not until
this week did matters shape them
selves in such a form that the project
was assured. Representatives of the
company who have visited here are
much pleased with Brattleboro as a
residential town and state that prac-
tically all their employees will be glad
to move here.

Hadley's Moving Pictures Monday
Night.

Edwin J. Hadley's moving pictures
will be seen in the auditorium Mon
day evening. Mr.. Hadley, through a
long experience in the animated pic
ture field, is exceptionally well fitted
to select subjects for reproduction
that will please the greatest number
of people. This is indicated in his de-
cision to present again a series of
views depicting the work of the Amer
lean navy, in which every citizen
takes pride. The series, taken for Mr..
Hadley's especial use, shows the great
battleships maneuvering in the Carib-
bean sea, at target practice and in
sham battle.
Views taken at the opening of the
jamestown exposition will also be
shown, giving portrayal of the dedi-
eatory exercises, in which President
Roosevelt is the central figure. The
first appearance of a running race pic.
ture on the canvas will be Mr.. Had
ley views of the Brooklyn handicap,
one OF the most exciting contests of
the racing year. Other interesting
views will be the race of the Empire
express with an electric engine and
the headon collision of two trains at
Brighton Beach.

old boyish hearts.

Aug. 10 He was being taken TO Fender
for trial on u change OF venue, Sheriff
Young of Thurston county reached Ban
croft at 8 this morning. Twenty men took
his prisoner from him, hauled the man
off in dlay and hung him to tree
A big mob collected and the body was
riddled with bullets, The feeling against
the murderer has been intense Throughout
the state. Higgins crime was wanton
one. He had worked on the Couple farm
and had had some trivial dispute with
Mr. Couple, Anger over this is the only
suggestion OF a reason Tor the murder
He killed both in the barn yard with a
gun. He was young man, and after ms
arrest became radically religious, partlcl'
mating in every service held at the jail.
A dispatch from Omaha, Aug. %, said ;
Louis p. Higgins the Hinsdale IN. h.
Young man who several months ago muir
dered in cold blood Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Couple of Thurston county, is to be taken
TO Fender next Monday for trial, and the
authorities fear that he will never reach
the courthouse alive. Hundreds OF citi,
zens of Thurston county have declared
ever since the double murder was com
mitted that they would organize them
selves into a mob and lynch Higgins when
he was taken to Fender for trial. 1t is
believed that they will attempt to execute
their threat. Higgins will be sent to
Fender in the custody of strong force
of officers. But it is known that II a
mob attempts to lynch him the officers
will be powerless to prevent It; Hlg-
gins knows the danger of his life, but
says he is prepared for any fate that may
come TO him.

Brattleboro and Col. j. B. Goulding of
Wilmington. Mrs. Farnum of New

Secretary C. NJ. Russell of Whining
ton then read letters from Governor
Proctor and Ex-Governor Holbrook.
Governor Proctor expressed his sorrow
at being unable to attend in person
and assured the crowd that they had
his best wishes. Governor Holbrook
wrote an excellent letter in which he
congratulated the surviving members
and recounted some of his memories
of the stirring times in the Civil war
A poem by Lorenzo Dodge was read by
Colonel Goulding, There were about
500 present at the gathering and half
of these were veterans.
Year by year the number attending
the reunion grows smaller as death

the Grand Army, but many of those
present still were hale and hearty
giving promise of years of usefulness
and enjoyment of life.

An Interesting Savings
Bank Record

Any system or method of doing
business which varies much from
that followed by others engaged
in the same line, is always watch
ed with eager interest. The
scheme of banking used so sue
cessfully by the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank is so different from
that of the other banks in the
State, that it is found especially
interesting. The Brattleboro
Reformer says:
1t is interesting to note the progress Of
this institution because of the fact that al
its funds are invested in Vermont and i
has never lost dollar by poor note
This Bank pays 4per cent. COM
pounded semi-annually on depos-
| its of 500 or more.
