result of conferences between repub-
lican leaders in the house, the last of
which was he'd today, MIR. Vreeland
introduced bill to take the place of
the currency bill presented by him
last week. In the new bill, which is
declared to represent the views of a
substantial majority of the republican
members, and which is the measure
that will be presented to the confer
ence of the republicans to be held in
few days, nothing is left of the
Aldrich currency bill except the pro-
vision for the payment of interest on
government deposits in national
banks. The provisions for the issu-
ance of emergency currency on cor
porate bonds are swept away. The
bill provides for the formation of ma
tional clearing house associations by
not less than ten national banks hav-
ing an aggregate capital and surplus
of not less than S5,O00,O0O. A tax of
4 per cent on emergency circulation,
based on clearing house association
securities, is provided for the first
month, this tax to be increased 1 per
cent each month until it reaches 10
percent, where it is to remain until
the circulation is retired Another
section of the bill provides for the
creation of a currency commission to
consist of six members of the house,
six of the senate, and six to be ap-
pointed by the president.
A spiritual attack on prohibition

Washington, May 1.-The time OF
the senate was taken up for two
hours with speech by Senator Davis
of Arkansas, asking that the com
mittee on judiciary be discharged
from further consideration of his bill
for the suppression Of trusts.
The remainder Of the day was given
over to the consideration of a resolu-
ton by Senator Elkins, suspending
until January 1, 1910, the commodity
clause of the Hepburn railroad rate
law The resolution provoked so much
debate and so many amendments were
offered dealing with other phases OF
railroad legislation that the whole
matter went over until Monday

As the outcome of determined eff

ton prohibiting the employment Of
secret service employees in any de-

vigorously opposed by members of the
appropriation committee, a limitation
was agreed to and the paragraph
adopted in substantially it's original

Washington, April 3O.-The senate
had under consideration the agricul-
tural appropriation bill. Practically
all the committee amendments were
disposed of except those relating to
the forest service, which will be taken
up tomorrow.
Consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill was resumed in the
house. Mr.. Townsend Of Michigan of
fered an amendment increasing from
$4,000 to $35O,OOO the appropriation
for enforcement by the interstate COM
merce commission of that clause of
the Hepburn act directing the COM
mission to cause to be made examin-
atiOns of accounts of interstate rail
roads to determine whether the law
is being violated, and to make public
the results of such examinations. AT
ter four hours of debate the amend
ment was agreed to.
The house disagreed to the senate
amendments to the District of Column
bia and pension appropriation bills
and sent them to conference.
The house committee on public
lands ordered a favorable report on
the senate bill providing that where
proofs offered in contention of home
stead entries have heretofore been re-
jected. they shall be reinstated and
confirmed if the entryman can show
he lived upon his land at least eight
months out of the year prior to the
submission of the proofs.
An adverse report was ordered by
the house committee on public lands
on the senate bill providing four
months leave of absence during the
winter for all homestead settlers.

A Letter in Which He Tells Something
of a Burglar Scare of Years Ago

Dear friend Meddler:
| see the efficiency OF your police de-
partment is unimpaired- is, it is just
as good as it ever was; in other words, the
burglars haven't been caught yet 1t beats
the Dickens what crafty bunch those
fellows are. They visit a Main street
home while ways and means for their cap
ture are being discussed by the bailitfs;
they enter the ticket office at the local
station while the general manager of the
road is asleep in his private car only few
feet away. They operate about where they
please and apparently whenever the fancy
takes them; if Chief Evans or any of his
associates is an obstacle III their path 1t
hasn't become apparent up to the present
time | am told that carefully construct
ed plot has been arranged for the capture
of these disturbers of the public peace

details of. it will become known to the
burglars in time for them to elude it

continue is evidence that nobody has
guessed right yet. | would suggest that a
certain candidate make the following addi

Tanning for town representative" That
is about the only thing that is not in
cluded already in the list of reforms prom
ised to be brought about with Fanning's
election.
There is only one way to ascertain the
identity of these impolite, annoying and
undesirable citizens, and that is to organ
lze a committee of safety similar to that
which was formed in this town 10 or Is
years ago. l tell you that body of laymen
did noble service during its brief exist
ence. 1t had 40 or so members, each in
5he prime of life and vigor and endowed
with indomitable courage. One night the

glars who were then causing such uneas-

work heretofore, but nothing in the way

divided into districts and a member of |

When Elroy Kent escaped from the IN
sane hospital at Waterbury two weeks oil
more ago the officials of that institution
made a brief search for him and then gave
il up. He was considered harmless, they
said, and his propensity for petty thieying
would probably land him in the clutches
Of the law sooner or later. Then came the
brutal murder of Miss Della Congdon
at her home in East Wallingiord last Fri
day and the suspicion Of the authorities,
based on reasonably good grounds, that
Kent was the perpetrator OF the crime.
What change this wrought in the aspect
of Kent's escape as well as in the attitude
of the insane hospital officials! Now the
escaped lunatic is being pursued by a posse
of officers and Superintendent Grout of
the Waterbury institution is appealing to
the people OF the state TO assist in kents
capture. In his long career of petty THEY
ing and Jail breaking Kent has never been
considered dangerous but that does not
relieve the superintendent OF the insane
hospital of his share of responsibility.

glarious individuals.
one OF the undaunted took up his vigil
in the shade OF an old apple tree IN yanl
on School street. Ii was very advan'
iagcous position beneath that tree, com
manding a. il did view ON all except
three sides. Sometime after midnight the
watcher was awak-or rather aroused by
a suspicious noise. In moment he was
on the alert, every nerve qulyerlng with
frght-at the thought OF what would hap.
pen to that burglar II he should put IA an
appearance Then,
'Whack!"
In the luminousness Of myriads Of blind.
ing stars which seemed TO shoot from the
back OF his head the sentinel saw his way
clearly. Without stopping TO look TO right
or left he dashed madly toward the street
nor slackcned his pace until the postoilicc
was reached. But with returning reason
came a realization OF the annoying fact
that he had been attacked and routed by
something, and the more he thought about
it the angrier he became. Finally. IN sheer
desperation he hunted PIP some OF his fel.
low watchers and induced them TO return
with him 10 the scene of the conflict.
"It was right under that tree that ]
overlook him" said the self-constituted
guardian OF the public safety TO his
friends, "and certainly handed it to him
good and plenty He ought to be there
now unless he's come to.
The ground beneath the tree was ex.
amined carefully, but no trace OF the bur.

stealthlv around the corner OF the barn
the vigiante who had prcvaricated picked
up a large and very hard apple from the
grass beneath his feet

that was what struck me in the head. {"
Then he rejoined his companions and con.
tinued the fruitless search until daylight.

would be able to accomplish something
just the same.

The Reformer said last week that the

The Reformer said last week that the
state fair premium list contained no refer
ence to the Valley fair. This is not so;
in the agricultural fair directory which
the pamphlet contains the Brattleboro
show is given three or four lines. This
mention, however, does not affect our con-
tention of last week that the Valley fair
management should have used liberal space
in the state fair premium list. The Valley
fair is too good show to let die for lack
of publicity. In the quality Of its ex
hibits it was away ahead of the state fair
last year and will doubtless lead its White
River junction ncighbor again this fall.
Because the Valley fair is such a good
all-round exhibition is the very reason why
its prestige should not be allowed to

II matters have come to such a pass
that it is necessary to enforce every law
on the statute books of the state section
1897 might be given consideration at once.
1t is as follows:
A person having arrived at years of dis
erection who profanely curses or swears
shall be fined not more than five dollars
nor less than one dollar, if prosecution is
commenced within 90 days after the com
mission of such otfense.
OF course it might bother a little to de-
termine exactly the years Of discretion,
and the question whether a man could
curse without being profane would also
arise. These problems, however, would
simply add picturesque touches to the
ridiculous situation in which we seem to
delight to pose before the rest of the
country. Brattleboro and the tight Sun
day are a combination which is furnishing
the metropolitan newspapers with material
for sarcastic paragraphs and which is
bound to hurt this community in the long

President futile of the Boston and
Maine road and r. w. Pillsbury, one of
New Hampshire's gubernatorial candi-
dates, have been indulging in some strenu-
Gus correspondence over the question of
railroad passes. Mr.. Pillsbury charges that
the railroad distributes about 700 passes
in that state, 400 of them to men whose
political activity is well known, and asks
Mr.. futile to furnish list of those who
are receiving favors from the B. & M.
Mr.. futile replies that he is not engaged
in furnishing campaign documents to any
candidate for governor, thereby admitting
tacitly that the free pass list would be
valuable in the campaign which the better
class of New Hampshire people is making
against railroad domination. This admis-
sion is the next best thing to the list itself.
