he Vermont Idea for
Savings Banks.

The Ludlow Tribune thinks
that the idea of Savings Banks
keeping Vermont money at
home will appeal to Yer
monters. In commenting on
this particular feature Of the
Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of Hyde
Park, it says:
Last Thursday this bank passed the million
dollar mark in its assets-and rot single
cent of it invested outside of Vermont. So
distinctiye,y Vermont fzvor naturally
appeals to the taste of VermoDters, because it
aoks of level headed management and a
safety which is quite assuring. Congratula-
tons are certainly in order.
This Bank pays 4 per cent
compounded semi-annually on
deposits of 800 or more.

Because Norwich University is
listed second in the list OF Dix military
schools of the U1itsd Statea, the
report has been that that school stood
second in rank. This is not fact.
The listing wac alphabetical and
Norwich came second. Its real rank
is first. as it has been for sx!ears.
Good for Norwich.

The idea of the Burlington News
that everyone should be given a
chance to represent his town is not
taking the state with any great whirl-
wind Of success. In fact we believe
the editorial was written without
great thought on the subject. To be
cure we would not make an Office
perpetual, but the idea of kicking an
efficient official out Of Office because
someone else wants isis absurd. If 4
certain officials giving good satisfac-
ton and executing the duties of bis
Office with good faith, why, wher
that man has become efficient, should
he be crowded ou5 by another man,
just as efficien. possibly, but who has
not had the training and is not there
fore as valuable a man in that place!
If tho mai is not efficient, or if the
satisfaction he is giving is not such as
to warrant good work on his part
then talk about another man, but foI
the mere excitement of campaigns oil
to satisfy the desire of politica
aspirants don't talk about rotation o.
Office and every mans right to hole
Office.

EFFORTS MADE TO
SUPPRESS The FACTS
PugiIist Who Struck Fatal Blow
Y Is Spirited Away and Inquest
is Secret.

In a prize fight in Fargo early Sunday
morning one of the pugilists was killed
by blow and the man who struck him
has been spirited away. The fight took
place in an exclusive club room and
about twenty persons were present.
When it was found that the man was
dead strenuous efforts we're made to sup
press the facts concerning the affair and
all present were sworn to secrecy. The
body was taken to an undertaking room
and last night the undertaken gave it
out that death was due to pneumonia.
He declined to say much about the
inquest except that it had been adjourn
ed. He also refused to say what was
the dead mans name.
Sheriff Aunt, of Fargo, is said to be
conducting quiet investigation of the
affair and some startling developments
may be expected. Despite the efforts
to keep the affair secret the facts have
leaked out to such an extent that all
Fargo is talking about it. According to
one report the man who was killed was
a negro named Alexander. The other
report says he was white. The name of
the man who struck the fatal blow is
being carefully guarded but report
says he is colored and formerly lived at
MinOt.

Ia the Street of Life.

In the street of life, walking in
the darkness Of the shadow, hun
CRY old Satan was out hunting
with his little dogs, the little
imps of human weakness.
A man came walking through
Lies street. Satan said to a lit
tie devil with bitter face:
go get him for me-
Quickly the imp crossed the
street, silently and lightly hop
ped to the mans shoulder. Close
in his ear he whispered:
you are discouraged"

discouraged
The imp repeated:
-. you ARE discouraged"
The man replied this time: 81

Louder and more decidedly the

The man, dropping his head,
replied; well, | suppose am
The imp hoped back to Satan
and said, proudly: II have got

Another man passed. Again old
Satan said:

The proud little demon of dis
enlargement repeated his tactics.
The first time that he said,
'You are discouraged" the man
replied emphatically, no.
The second time the man re-
piled, II tell you am NOT DIS
COURAGED."
The third time he said:
Il am not discouraged; YOU
LIE!
The man walked down the
street, his head up, going toward
the light.
The imp of Encouragement re-
turned to his master crestfallen.
Il couldn't get him. Three
times told him he was discour-

Take Notice.

The following is taken from the Mo-
hall News:
It's the man who advertises that does
the business. Peter Bertleson whom
most Of our readers know, in last week
issue Of the Kenmare journal, had three
full pages of six columns each, total of
eighteen columns of advertising matter
telling the public what he had to sell,
and why it was to their interest to deal
at his store. The Ward County Inde
pendent has two page-twelve column
attractive advertisement for the Kea-
WINS Department Store, Boyer e. Lind
berg, the Branch Store, Grow Clothing
Co., and Paul V. Mccoy, the enterpris-
ing druggist. Each have full page ad
vertisements: many have half page. The
Independent says in it's issue of last
week that these live advertisers are
drawing trade from far and near, and
Mohall is included as among the terri
tory from which they draw their trade.
Show us merchant who does not ad-
vertise and we will show you merchant
who does practically no business. Many
shrewd merchants aim to invest ten per
cent Of their annual expenses in adver-
Using. Judiciously used, this is the
most necessary expense to bring about
good results and by the shrewd bust
ness man is regarded as a necessity.
Step into any store in Mohall and you
will find that the advertisers are the
ones that are doing the business.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS
One Relative to Leaves OF Alb.
sence and Another on Resi-
dence Required in Commuta-
ton Proof.

The secretary OF the interior
has just rendered a couple Of de-
cisions OF interest to all home
steaders. In the case of James
A. Hagerty, who made commu-
tation in the Pierre, S. D., land
district, and which proof was
turned down by the commission
er OF the general land office, the
secretary sustains the decision
OF the commissioner and says:
"To entitle a committing home
stead entryman to creditor con-
structiye residence from the date
OF entry it must be shown, not
only that he established a bona
fide residence upon the land with
in six months from the date OF
entry, but that his actual pres.
ence on the land was thereafter
substantially continuous to the
date OF submitting final proof. "
From the proof submitted in
this case it appears that during
the period Of nearly sixteen
months that interviewed between
the time the entryman establish:
ed his residence on the land and
the date upon which he submit
ted final proof, he was absent for
two months and ten days and
four months and fourteen days.
The claimant commended that
he was entitled to six months
constructive residence and that
he had lived on the land more
than eight besides, which
amounted to fourteen months
residence.
The rule is again laid down
that the residence must be con-
tinuous for a period Of fourteen
months-six months construc-
tive followed Immediately by
eight months actual. If for any
reason the entryman does not
make final proof at the end OF
fourteen months from date OF fiji
ing, thereafter he loses the period
OF constructive residence, unless
his residence is continuous.
There must befOurteen months
of continuous residence and in
the first fourteen months period
from the date of filing, six
months may be constructive but
not otherwise. 1t is also held in
this case that Notwithstanding
the advice given by local land
officers, "the laches Of default Of
an entryman can not be excused
because oferroneous advice given
by local officers.
LEAVES OF ABSENCE >,
In another decision the COM
missioner lays down the rule
that: o
"rhe atfidavits to support an
application for leave OF absence
may be executed before a notary
public having Jurisdiction to ad-
minister oaths within the land
district in which the claim is sit
uated."
In other words, applications
for leaves OF absence must be ex-
ecured before the register and
receiver, or some officer III the
land district, and not outside
thereof. In this case it was held
that to attend a term OF normal
school does not set forth sufti-
Gent ground, under section 3, Of
the act OF March ,, 1889, to war
rant the allowance Of the appli-
cation. r.
