American Mining Consress.

One of the largest branches of the American Mining Congress in the
 United States was organized at a well attended meeting held in Bisbee Tues day evening. March 25th. says the Douglas Dispatch. Mining and busi- ness interests throughout the territory were we'll represented. and the local branch of Arizona promises to be large factor in the national organiz- ation and the success of the congress throughout the country. At the last session of the congress held at Joplin, Mo, Douglas attempted to secure the meeting for this year, but failed, and it meets at Columbus, O It was de- clared the sentiment of the local body that Douglas be named for the gather iag in 1909. and strenuous efforts will be put forward to secure the gathering for Arizona. The Arizona branch will be known as the Arizona- Sonora branch of the American Mining Con- gress.

Prison Plans Accepted.

The Board of Control has accepted set of plans for the new prison and Citizen Member Riggs, of the Board has gone to Yuma to consult with Superintendent Kyning of the prison, as to the number of trusties he can furnish to perform the preliminary work on the prison site.- The new cells have been contracted for and every thing is now in readiness to pro ceed with the work
 The plans finally adopted are in accordance with Governor Kibbey's design for the prison and have been carefully worked out in detail. Supt. Ryning will have charge of the work and the cement man who erected the Noble cement building in Phoeuix will be foreman under Capt. Rynlng. This gentleman is said to be the most expert cement constructor on the Pacific coast. Architect Frost will be che directing architect and he is thorough in his business.
 We are pleased to know that .he Board will construct the prison and not let the work out to an outside contractoTfas this means that the money will be spent ia Arizona, where it belongs% If the work had been let to an outside contractor the major portion of the money expended would have gone outside of the territory.- Florence Blade.

A BRAVE WOMAN.
Mrs. Baker who Fought TaQuIS Re-
 turns to Texas Home.

An arrival Tn Tucson yesterday from Mexico, who is stopping at the Santa Rita hotel, stated that Mrs
 Baker and children, wife of the Amer ican mining superintendent who was supposedly killed by the Yaquis at the Santo Niho mines, passed through Benson on Saturday en route from Mexico to her home in Fl Paso.
 This man. who makes frequent trips to Mexico, and is more or less familiar with conditions in that section, is au- thority for the statemen5 to the Star that there is some doubt as to whe- ther the Yaquis ara responsible for the murder of Baker. Mrs. Baker told him that there were ten or fifteen in the party and they all talked Mex ican. It is reclted that if the party were Yaqui Indians they would have spoken to each other in their own Ian guage.
 Mira. Baker tells a thrilling story of the attack on her home and the kill ing of her husband. At the time the attack was made Mir. Baker was ab- sent at the town of SaquI. Mrs. Baker defended herself and children, using a Winchester rifle to good advantage. She was wounded three times but not seriously. Her husband returned to the camp while the attack was being made As he climbed barbed wire fence to run to hIs home. he was shot four or five times through the body by the attacking party who were conceal ed in out houses. Baker fell to the ground dead. Mrs Baker took her and fled when she saw her husband killed and was permitted to escape. The attacking party then footed the premises. carrying away all provisions and firearms and every thing of value Tucson Star.

Middlebury and vicinity have gener-
ally been fortunate in the few accidents
and fatalities attending the celebration
of the Fourth Of July. Notwithstand-
ing this, it is sincerely hoped that par
ents-as well as the dealers in explosives,
themselves-willk keep in mind that young
lives may be snuffed out this year
through insufficient watching, just as
similar accidents have occurred every
year, and will occur as long as we have
this barbarous way of rejoicing over oul
independence. 1t would not be risky to
state that more lives have been sacrificed
in Fourth of July celebrations than were
lost in the war for independence. The
Pennsylvania railroad will not transport
fireworks of any kind.

A Needed Reform .

Middlebury as a whole has begun at
last to show trace of civic pride, and
the splendid appearance of the village at
commencement time attested to this fact
The by-ways and hedges were nicely
taken care of and the result as a whole
was quite gratifying. But is it not true
that, as long as certain abuses go uncor-
rected, what we gain at the bung we are
losing at the spigot? To be more explicit:
we have taken more or less pains to rem
ovate and beautify the residential portion
of the town and let the business district
the part most frequented by outsiders
grow to resemble piegery.
Imagine, please, your respectable citi-
zen putting on his go-to-meetin' clothes
getting himself into condition of SNUG
complacency, then taking walk church
ward on Sunday morning. All goes
well on his own street till he gets to the
main thoroughfare, the mart of COM
merce; then, horrors! he has to plough
his way through a combination of dirt,
refuse and filth of animal, vegetable and
mineral nature that would disgorge a
scavenger!
The solution Of this local problem lies,
probably, with the individual business
houses along Main street. But to the
village trustees many, or most, will look
for the adjustment Of this condition. II
no other way will do, let the trustees see
that the Main street doorways and walks
are purged, settling the expense on the
business men. On Saturday evenings
the store-keepers and employees are KEEP,
up late after a long day. and it might be
asking a good deal to expect them to clean
their street fronts.
The better way out of this difficulty il
to use prevention instead of cure. 1t il

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall
Top-Dresslns and Seedins-Down.

uP-to-date farmers are agreed that in many
cases better results are obtained on meadows
from fertilizers which are applied in the
summer or early fall. This is true both as to
top-dressing and seeding-down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that we can
furnish formulas for mixing fertilizers es-
pecially adapted to top dressing and seeding
down grass land. These formulas have not
only been approved by the Vermont Expert
ment Station, but have been used with
excellent results by great many farmers in
Vermont. We can also furnish the materials
for mixing fertilizers in accordance with these
formulas. We should be pleased to send the
formulas together with full directions for
mixing, cost of materials, ETC., to any one
who will write us, mentioning this paper

Statement,

To the Republican Voters of Addison
County,
No one can be more opposed than am
to making complaints of unfair treat
ment, but when plain mistake is made,
it is always in order to call attention to
the mistake and to rectify it, Such
mistake took place in announcing the re-
suits of the various ballots for States At
torney in the recent Addison County Re-
publican convention. On the first three
ballots, it was announced that there were
certain scattering" votes, which natur-
ally led the delegates to suppose that
votes had been cast for at least three can
didates for states attorney. This was
not so. No ballots were cast for any 9TH
er names for that office than Frank w.
futile and Charles /. Button.
The tellers were perplexed in this way:
The futile ballots were on large slips of
paper printed in Vergennes. The Button
ballots were on small slips of paper of the
same size and color as were all the bal
lots for other offices that were printed in
Middlebury. In the haste of baloting,
some delegates evidently mistook their
other ballots that were to be used in
other contests and cast them by mis-
take in the states attorneyship con-
test. All of the ballots called SCATTER
ing" were printed ballots, without
mark or erasure, with printed state
ments that they were for other offices
Legally speaking they were blank or de-
fectiUe ballots, and should have been re-
jected as such and not counted. They
did not purport to be ballots for states
attorney but read as follows, "For Judge
of Probate, William H. Bliss" "For
Judge Of Probate, Chas. A. Earle, ""For
Senator, James B. Donoway."
The first ballot should have been an
nounced as follows:
Total number of votes cast 1872
Necessary for choice 90
of which Charles 1. Button has go
and Frank w. futile has 80
The second ballot should have been an
nounced as follows:
Total number of votes cast 181
Necessary for choice - 81
of which Charles l. Button has 81
and Frank w. futile has 80
l was certainly nominated on one OF
both of these first two ballots. / believe
that all defective ballots were intended
for me, being of the same size and prin
as my own, but l had enough without
them. The tellers should have rejected
them as so much waste paper. If tn,
trouble had been explained when tn,
first ballot was read, doubtless many il
the room would have claimed and proved
my nomination at that time. Ny owl
attention was first called to the matter a
five o'clock in the afternoon, when frs
: learned of what the so-called scattering
votes consisted. Many who have hat
experience in counting votes and severa
lawyers from different parts Of the Stat,
and from New York city have declared
that there is no question whatever abou
the correctness of this view. / have a.
yet failed to find anyone who, on learn
ing of these facts, claimed that l wa
not nominated The fact SCENE to b,
that the tellers and others on the stag,
were unprepared for such situation ant
guessed wrong" as to the law, although
l understand some took at the time tn,
view here expressed.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES l. BUTTON.

Addison County's Republican conven-
ton, as regards behavior, was character
lied by the dignity and decorum that
should always accompany occasions of
this kind. Many young men could be
benefited by attending the caucuses,
conventions and political meetings. In
this way they could come to knowl-
edge of the practical workings of things
political, so that later on in life they
would not set back in the traces and
malign everything political, as is so often
done.

The subject of this memoir was ma
tive of Watertown, N. Y, where he was
born December 2, 1S40 When the Civil
War broke out he obeyed the impulse of
patriotism by enlisting in the 35th Regi-
ment of Infantry, New York State Vol.
unteers, and at the expiration of his three
years term of service reenlisted in the
cavalry, and at the close of the war, hav-
ing served for four years, and winning a
commission as first lieutenant, he re-
ceived an honorable discharge at the
hands of the government. Retiring to
private life, he became resident of Troy,
n. Y, and an attachee of the National
Express company in that city. In 1858
he was united in wedlock with Miss
Mary A. Samson of Cornwall, VT, who
survives him. A prolonged residence
respectively in New York City, Atlanta,
Ga, and Washington. D. c., brought
him in touch with wide circle of ac-
quaintances by whom he was held in
the highest esteem for his sterling graces
Of character. He was man of attractive
personality and that quiet reserve which
marks one "to the manner born" Gen.
tleness, serenity, urbanity, were charac.
teristics of the man. He was the soul
of honor-stainless, pure, upright in all
the relations of life. His friendship was
a priceless treasure to those upon whom
it was bestowed, and the fragrance of
his memory will linger for aye with
those who mourn his departure. On
May 16, 1908, he was summoned to join
the ranks Of the majority and responded
to the ''roll call up yonder" of the Great
Commander in the same City where !
had been mustered out of the service OF
his country. His remains were brought
from Washington to Middlebury. Vt.
and on June 9th were laid to rest in the
Samson family plot in Cornwall GENE
terry. His affiliations were with the
Protestant Episcopal church.
