lands in Chicago, has been found guilty
on 1863 counts in an indictment charg-
ing the acceptance of rebate on shipments
of oil from Whiting, Ind, and st. Louis
over the Chicago & Alton railroad. The
Elkins law provides in case of conviction
a fine of not less than $1,000 or more than
$50 900 on each offence, so that the Stan
dard company may be fined anywhere
from 81 ,4OO. 900 to $2s 900, OOO The case
has been bitterly contested and the Stan
dard company has filed a motion for a
new trial There were over 1900
counts on the original indictment, but
nearly 400 of these were ruled out by
Judge lands before the case was heard
before jury. For years it has been al
legged that the oil monopoly existed only
through the unjust discrimination in its
favor which it forced from the railroads.
This has been denied, although generally
believed, but now guilt has been de-
clared after a trial before 10 men in the
jury box.

from Amherst college i'm 1874 he became
private secretary to the late Samuel

in New YORK he studied art two years in
London, where he was a copyist in the

1888 to 1890. He then Travelled abroad

The construction of the Connecticut

Listen:
"One who ought to know says that the
Brattleboro dam enterprise is a part of a
scheme to build a through trolley line to
the White Mountains, so that the New
Yorker can make the trip by trolley in
stead Of by steam. My authority further
says that a dam will be built later on the
Connecticut in Windsor county and
another in Caledonia county. I am in
clined to believe this will come true as /
happen to know that surveys for both of
these dams have already been made. 1t
is no pipe dream that within ten years
there will be a through trolley line from
New York to the Faybans, and / shall
hope to live to see a branch from Wells

The census bureau in making its es-
timated population Of the country in 1905
places the number Of people in Vermont
at 94.251, an increase OF 5610. or 1.6 per
cent over 1900. These figures are prob
ably too low. In this section OF the state
not only have Brattleboro and Rocking
ham shown good growth, but Wilmington,
Jamaica and other towns have more in
habitants than in 1900. Nearly all Of the
cities and large towns throughout the
state are making steady advance, and
the decline which has been going on in the
rural communities several decades has
been checked TO "A noticeable extent. The
development Of the mineral resources and
water powers Of the state is playing an
important part in the New Vermont" at

Prosperity Unabated,

Schif and Belmont, bankers, and HILL
the railroad magnate, have recently pre-
dicted business commissions similar to
those Of 1873 and 1898, but their views
are contrary to those OF the great ma
jority Of business men in the leading trade
centres and Of the newspapers which have
recently been making a special examina-
ton of industrial conditions.
There are none OF the premonitory signs
which foreshadowed the great business
disturbances in 1Sl9-37-57-7S and '93 The
flooding Of the American market with for
eign goods at the close of the war Of
1Sl2-15 was the cause OF the first great

brought about in part by land speculation
and that Of '73 by the building Of railroads
tack on the tariff along the whole line,
which sounded Cleveand's election in 1892,
helped to precipitate the depression of
1893. Defective currency-wildcat bank
bills in 1887 and 1857, the fluctuating
greenback in 1897 and the silver dilution
Of the circulation in 1S73-had a part in
these financial collapses, and all the causes
are missing in 1907. The resumption act OF
1875, which went into operation in 1879,
ana which brought all the countrys cur
rency up TO the gold level, and the act OF
1900. which headed off any silver debase-
ment Of the circulation and placed the
gold standard in the statutes will un-
questionably prevent any great disturb
ance in the monetary system. The stee
industry at the present time was never
so prosperous and the prospect of a rec
ord d-breaking wheat crop is another omen
Of good luck, which will go a long way
toward maintaining the present pros
perty.
