Important Happenings and Local
Notes from the County Seat
l. B. WELLMAN, Local Editor


While loading lumber in the Prouty
& Miller yards at Newport Wednesday
workmen discovered under one pile a
quantity of fuse and several dynamite
cartridges and under another a guam
tity of plumber which upon examina-
tion proved to be part of the proper
ty stolen from the store of Chester
Moore in Morgan last August. Among
the articles recovered were bank books
on banks in Newport, Derby Line, Is
land Pond and ST. Johnsbury. Ten
shares Of Eastern Township bank
stock. 20 shares Vermont Peoples
telephone stock note for $500. 90 and
several notes of smaller denomina-
tions, besides some articles of mer-
chandise. While most of the list are

was a great inconvenience and Mr..
Moore was not long in coming after
his property when notified of it's re-
covery. At the time of the robbery
the thieves stole team which they
abandoned at West Derby, evidently
Intending to hit the morning train for
Montreal. This no doubt they did and
hurriedly disposed of such part of
their plumber as was of no use to them
or was likely to get them into trouble,
in this manner.

At the Churches.

The pastors of the various churches
here who are all interested in the
union Chapman services during the
week. preached, each in his own pull
pit, on Sunday morning, and the SER
vices at that hour, together with the
Sunday schools. were held in the u.s.
ual manner. The evening service was
union, held in the Congregational
church. and Rev. Mr.. Shaeffer spoke on
the subject Glide and Go-Seek with
God." The attendance was very
large. both body of the church and
galleries being filled.
The Chapman meetings, which be-
gan Thursday, have developed a
widespread interest in the community.
An evidence of this was shown by the
attendance at the mems meeting in
Lanes opera house Sunday afternoon.
In spite of the forbidding weather
over 400 men gathered for the service
at 3 o'clock. There was a fine chorus
of men directed by Mr.. COLLISION,
several instruments in the orchestra,
and the large company sang the good
old gospel hymns in most inspiring
way. Mr.. COLLISION sang solo
''The Holy City, in way which was
most impressive. Rev. Mr.. Shaeffer's
subject was Wanted, a Man, The
thought grew from his once seeing a
sign on city factory, "Lasters Want

ing when at the point of death. In
response to Mr.. Shaeffer's request for
an expression from those who would
pledge themselves to try and help some
other man during the coming week a
large number of hands were raised.
Altogether it was the most powerful
meeting for men ever held in town.
The Congregational church was COM
pletely filled for the evening service,
and the meetings will continue until
the 18th of this month.

Thousands Crippled
with Rheumatism
Find in Uric-O a Real Cure

If rheumatism continues to spread
as it has in the last few years, it
would seem as though we would before
long become a nation of cripples. The
terrible destructiveness of this disease
is apparent on every side of us. AL
most nine out of ten of the cripples one
meets had their affection brought on
by Rheumatism. If you ever have any
twinges of Rheumatism, go to the
druggist and get bottle of Uric-O,
the wonderful new Rheumatic Specific.
1t will cure you and is the only treat
ment in the world that will cure you
permanently and thoroughly. Uric-O
by its direct action on the muscles.
blood and kidneys, seeks out the poi
sonous Uric and Rheumatic Acid and
drives it from the system. Liniments
and plasters never cure Rheumatism,
because it is primarily blood disease.
and until the blood is cleared from
poison cure cannot take place.
Uric-O is sold by druggists at 75c
and $1.OO bottle. You can obtain a
liberal sample by applying to The
Smith Drug Co. No. 70 Smith Bldg,
Syracuse, N. Y.
Uric-O is sold and personally rec

Court News.

In county court, which re-convened
on Tuesday, election day, little bust
ness was transacted owing to the set
Element out of court of the damage
case between Chauncey Drown and
the New England Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. and the Consolidated Light
ing Co. At previous trial in this
court Drown was awarded verdict
of $4,000. 1t is said that the amount
settled for was substantial sum,
but somewhat less than the above
amount. In the case of state VS.. Chas.
Lyford and Maud Goodhue, the parties
were found guilty of criminal act.
Lyford, being married man, was
sentenced to serve term OF not less
than two and one-half nor more than
three years in states prison. His
companion received sentence of not
less than one nor more than one and
one-half years in the same institution,
but owing to her youth and the ex-
tenuating circumstances, sentence was
suspended and she was placed In the
care of the probation officer.
In municipal court, Napoleon Good
hue, convicted of petit larceny, was
sentenced to not less than two and
one-half nor more than three years in
the house of correction. His two sons,
Lawrence Goodhue, age IA, and Rich
ard, age nine, were sent to the indus
trial school for the remainder of their
minority. Mrs. Goodhue, the mother
of the boys, was also implicated in the
complaint, but in her case the court
has as yet taken no action. Owing to
the large amount of petty thieving
going on in this vicinity everyone has
been on the alert to detect the crimi-
nails and it was owing to the pluck
and sagacity of Mrs. Geo. Kendall
of West Derby that part of the thefts
were traced to the Goodhues. Mrs.
Kendall, hearing thieves at her refri-
gerator, frightened them away and
then gave chase in her team, follow
ing so closely as to be able to appre-
bend them. A search of the Goodhue
home located much of the missing
property. but most Of the plumber
being eatable and the family hungry
quite bit of evidence was not avail
able. Goodhue admitted the larceny
of some hay from the barn of G. L.
Drown. In the case of State VS.. Gill
man Mccoy, misrepresentation to town
clerk as to age of expectant bride,
defendant entered plea of guilty
and paid a fine of 10 dollars and costs.
In this case it seems that the truth
would have been much cheaper, as the
parties have since married, though
the age of the bride was only about Is
years, with full consent of the par
ents.

The Holland Creamery.

The following taken from the Stan
stead Journal regarding the co-operat-
i've creamery of Holland is of interest
to all farmers of this section and can
not help but set one thinking.
"The improvement of the farms of
northern Orleans county is readily un-
derstood when the reports of the vari-
GUS creameries are examined. Hon. E..
A. Ferrin of Holland, president Of the
Creamery association of that town,
kindly favors us with a report Of their
business for last year as follows This
association. which is cooperative, has
an authorized capital Of $1,000. Cap
ital paid in, $1,410.0O. Note this small
investment in plant for the production.
They made during the year 231 1869 lbs.
of butter. Total cash receipts was
$50. 571.84. Cash paid to patrons.
S54. 493. l5.. Total expenses including
interest on capital account, $6,078. g..
The total cost per pound for gath ering
cream and in making the butter was
.O2, 626. The officers are: E. A. Fer
rim, president; George H. Tice, vice
president; Harry R. Marsh, secretary
and treasurer; auditors, A. A. Rum
cry and Judson M. Page; directors,
E. A. Ferrin, I. E. Hackett, G. H.
Tice, w. R. Judd, M. L. Ames, A. r.
Hall and M. B. Pinney; manager. A.
r. Hall. Now then, let our farmers
raise more feed and cut out the pur-
chase of western feed. If they buy
their feed west, they have the feed,
but the west have their money, except
ing the small commission of the local
dealer and the item of freight, but if
they raise their feed, they will have
both the feed and the money. and fur :
thermore, with equal facilities, the
farmer that feeds home grown feed
will produce more and better grade
of butter fat than the farmer that
feeds western grown. The object les
son of this report is very plain to be
seen by the common man, he doesn't
need to be fnancier Sor chemist to
read between the lines the fact that
the Holland creamery is saving to it's
patrons nearly cent pound more
than the farmers of many other Or
leans county towns are receiving. In
this case cooperation is ideal for it is
a double barreled affair. The coop
orators get more for their butter and
good annual interest on their invest
ment, and this example of business
success proves our often repeated con-
tention, that our farms not only prod
uce corn and wheat but business judg-
ment of high order; they .know..how to
"cut the garment according to the
cloth" and "make the strap and
buckle meet" Well done, Holland
creamery, you are teachingl modern
agriculture.

Was IL q Meteor7

Mr.. Editor:-A little after IL o'clock
on the night of August 80, last, ar
rived at Wells River, VT, with my wife,
on the train from ST. Johnsbury. We
descended the long flight of stairs and
crossing the foot bridge, reached Q small
street at the upper end OF the village.
Just rs we reached this street, the
scenery around about was lighted up as
by an electric arc light. Looking up, we
beheld what appeared like a globe Of fire
descending very near.
1t seemed about the size of an electric
arc globe and appeared to go down
directly behind the nearest house. The
illumination appeared to last about five
seconds and was unaccompanied by any
sound. ! could not learn the next day
as anyone else had observed the phenom-
enon. In the last issue OF your paper
read in an item under state news. that a
meteor was seen and heard by people in
Montpelier and Stowe on the same night
ut about the same hour.
The question would arise. was there
one meteor or several? Did one great
meteor light up the whole northern
part of the state from Stove to Wells
River, somewhere between II y. m. and
midnight Sunday, Aug. 80, or WIS
there a shower OF meteors?
Perhaps there are Others who could
give testimony.
