The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1907-02-15

Thirty-two million dollars worth of
interest bearing securities has been Civ
en- by John D. Rockefeller for general
education throughout the country, the
largest single benefaetiOn for such a
purpose ever known The announce
ment of this gift was made at meet
ing of the general education board in
New York city last week in a letter
from John D. Rockefeller, jr, who stat
ed that one third of the amount was
to be added to the permanent lendow-
ment of the board and two thirds to
be applied to such specific objects with
in the corporate purposes of the board
as may be directed. Mr.. Rockefeller s
plan for higher education can be brief
ly stated as follows: A college in
every city of 100000 or more popula-
ton; a college in every 100 square
miles of populous territory and one
in every so miles square of the dense1y
inhabited area; more colleges in the
great cities; largely increased facilities
for the higher education of women by
enlargement of the leading women IS
colleges if practicable or founding of
new women s colleges.
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, was
go years old Monday. In an interview
he said: "For As years l have been
making experiments with electricity
but all those years l have been turning
these experiments to commercial value
so fast that I have not had a chance
to play with electricity for the fun of
the thing, just to see how much I can
find out about it. But from today on
l am going to give up the commercial
end of it and work in my laboratory
purely as a scientist That will be the
pleasure I have long been promising
myself"

GOOD MUSIC FURNISHED
BY THE PALACE ORCHESTRA

The Palace orchestra furnished the
music for a dance given by the 500
club at Golconda last Thursday night
and on Friday, October IS. the oiches-
ira will go to Paradise Valley al fur
nish music for the dance TO be given
there on that date IN Auditorium hall
The music furnished by the Palace
orchestra is most excellent for dane
ing and entertaining purposes, and
they are kept busy fulfilling engage
ments in different parts of the eoun-
ty. They have a standing contract
with the Palace saloon of Winnemuc-
ca, where the sweet strains of the
music can be heard every afternoon
and evening. 1t is characteristic of
the West, as of the South, that good
music is craved, and this accounts for
the phenomenal demand for the music
furnished by the Palace orchestra.
Manager and Leader Reinfeldt is a
fine vilon player, and to his knowledge
of this instrument lies much of the
success of the orchestra. The dance
at Golconda tomorrow evening is to
be given by the 600 club or Golconda.
and it will no doubt be a big occasion.
Several Winnemucca people will
attend.

COUNTY JAIL ~TENANTLESS

The following item is from the Sill
yer State of October 21st, 1890. 1t is
different now:
The county Jail is tenantless for the
first time in two years. If it can on
lybe kept SO for a year or two, the
county will be much benefited by the
arrangement. Those who have been
confined in the Jail have cost the coun-
ty as much, if not more, for several
years past, than all the other expenses
combined. The cheapest and easiest
and best method of reducing the coan-
ty debt is to keep the Jail empty. Ev-
erybody should therefore be on his
good behavior, and in that manner
reduce the debt. 1t is a noticeable
fact, however, that those who pay the
least taxes or none at all are the per
sons who make the most expenses for

the vision was darkling, the revelation

THERE was meat for gossip
a-plenty in Canaan that after

a-plenty in Canaan that after

tanned housewives In talk across front

spite of the heat and canards that

the sidewalks.
Out Of the confusion of report the

Flitcroft. Squire Buckalew and Peter
Bradbury had shaken hands with Joe

There were those, particularly among
the relatives of the hoary trio, who ex-
pressed the opinion that the colonel
and his comrades were too old to be
responsible and commission ought to
sit on them Nevertheless some echoes
Of Eskew's last argument to the con-
clave had sounded in the town and
were not wholly without effect.
Everywhere there was nipping curl
osity to learn how Judge Pike had
taken" the strange performance of his
daughter, and the eager were much dis
appointed when it was truthfully re-
ported that he had done and said very
little. He had merely discharged both
Sam Warden and Sans wife from his
