In order to prevent water famine
this winter the Rutland city council elan
destinely diverted the greater part of a
river stream into the city reservoir feed
era, and thus avoid the shortage. The
city worked secretly lest the owners of
property on the diverted river secure an
injunction and block the purpose. Had
the same transaction been perpetrated by
the Barre city council, what volume
of denunciation there would have come
In the case OF Rutland the work seems
to have been justified by necessity, as
the water in the city's system was low

would have been depleted in short
time. But even in view Of That condi.

CHRISTMAS TREES AND FIRES.


There comes an unexpected ally to tn,
defense of the forests Of Vermont anC
other commemorative that have been dis
turbed of late over the unscrupulou'
cutting OF spruees for Christmas tree
usages. The ally is the New York board
of fire underwriters, which has sent no
tice to policy holders that losses will
not be paid when the fires resulted from
flames originating in Christmas trees
This action, too, occurs in the very center
of the great trade in the trees, to which
center Vermont ships most of her young
spruces; and it will have therefore the
greatest force in ending the traffic in
the spruces.
WAile there may be sentimental rea-
sons against abolishing the good old Gus
tom Of having gaily decked spruce tree
set up on the pulpit or in the center of the
parlor, it must be admitted that there
is much Of truth in the statement issued
by the New York board that so many
disastrous fires have occurred, not only
in mercantile establishments, but in
churches, public buildings, etc, caused
by the introduction Of such decorations
and exhibitions, and the danger to life
and property is so great, that the prac-
tical prohibition Of this class Of display
is deemed necessary by the New York
beard Of underwriters"
Even this statement, however, would
lose its force If people would adhere to
the simple dictates Of reason in the man
ner of decorating their Christmas trees,
but caution flies to the winds in the
endeavor to secure the most giddy effects
to charm the young people. Bunting,
fiimsy cotton, streamers, infammsble
material OF all sorts is placed in close
iuxtaposition to lighted candles swaying
with the movement Of the branches as
they are brushed about by some prying
Santa CLAUSE and very frequently disas.
trous fres result and lives are lost. If
the decorators Of the Christmas trees
would refrain from the extremely haz-
ardous use Of candles In their schemes
Of eye pleasing there would be little or
no need for such an edict as has just
been given out by the New York board
Of fire underwriters. 1t may be timely
too, to now warn people not within the
immediate scope of the New York boards
prohibition that the use of lighted can
dies ought to be expressly barred this
Christmas.

truman Silent on dary's Election.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Senator
Tillman was asked today if he would
not crafty a large number of citi-
zens in South Carolina with an ex-
preston of his opinion about the
election of Frank B. Gary as ''unex-
pred senator.
Why yhou1d say anything?" he
replied. sThe legislature has elected
Mr.. Gary senator and it will be my
pleasure to receive him at this end of
the line as my colleague in the senate
and to accord him all the assistance /
can. As to the action Of the legisla-
ture in electing him it would not be
proper for me to express any opinion.
I have said all I have ever had to say
about the election of a senator and in
that I had no man in mind and had
no personal preference, so far as that
s is concerned. The truth is / have

SENSATION NEAR FLORENCE.
Young Boy Charged With Crlminally
AssauIting His First Cousin.

FLORENCE, March 10.-News Of a very
sensational criminal assault, which oc-
Cured in the Bethlehem section of this
county last week has just reached Flor
ence. Owing to the prominence of the
families the matter was kept quiet until
q warrant was issued for the assailant.
It is stated that Young Thompson, a II
year-old boy, criminally assaulted his 15-
year-old cousin, a Miss Thompson. Two
physicians were called in to the young
lady, but they would make no statement.
A warrant was issued against the young
man, but the fathers Of the two young
people two brothers( took the matter
IN hand and agreed to leave the punish
ment in the hands of twelve good citi-
zens. While the twelve citizens were be-
ing gotten together young Thompson
skipped out and has not been seen since.
The warrant is now in the hands Of a
constable, and it is expected that the
young fellow will be caught. Both Of the
Thompsons are well known farmers of
the Bethlehem section. Further details
could not be obtained as none of the
families will give out any information.

rs CUT CONTRACTOR WITH ADJ.
Negro Makes Murderous Attack on
:sd5s:s w. p. Tenant at Florence.

FLORENCE, March Mr.. w. p.
Tennant, a well known contractor OF
this city, was set upon by one OF his
negro workmen this afternoon and
came very near being killed. K. P.
Flowers, the negro workman, was
discharged this morning by Mr.. Ten
nant. This afternoon he went to the
building and secreted himself at the
head of the stairs. Just as Mr.. Ten
nant, who was accompanied by Capt.
SIS. Dusenberry, passed up the stairs
Flowers jumped from behind corn
ser Of q room and struck Tenant over
the, right shoulder with the blade Of
q foot adj. The blow so stunned Ten
nant that he fell backward down the
steps. As he went down he fell
against Capt. Dusenberry and both OF
them rolled to the bottom Of the
stairs. As Tenant fell he called to
the other workmen to catch Flowers,
which they did, and carried him to
the station house, where he was lock-
ed up.
For q while there was considerable
excitement, but Chief Koopman soon
had things under control: Tenant
was carried to the McLe cod infirmary
and given medical attention. He has
a awound in the top of the right chest
which is about four inches long and
cut into the cavity. He is resting
easy at this time.

canada's Cash Road Tax System.

Canadian townships, particularly
those Of the province Of Ontario, are
adopting the cash road tax system in
place Of the ancient method Of working
out the road tax, which is in too many
cases a farce. says the Good Roads
Magazine. Supervision Of the work on
the roads is intrusted to from one to
four responsible commissioners, who
use labor saving machinery, build bet
ter bridges than the roads had and
make the highways permanent and
durable. During the decade from 1896
to 1905 the outlay on county roads OF
Ontario amounted to $21, 100000. OF
this $40, ,432,902 was cash, and $10,-
$4,000 represented days Of statute Ia
Dor. This equaled an average OF
81, 100000 per annum and included the
expenditures by the townships and q
part only Of that made by counties on
their country highways. Cities and
towns spent large amount In add1-
ton to the above sums The good
roads movement is said TO be extend
ing widely in Canada.

steady at q slow walk when using this
hitch. Third, the position and condi-
ton of the steel cutter. Half an inch
below the edge Of the slab Is enough
for the steel to project. If the steel
is very sharp, put less of your weight
on the front slab. Fourth, your own po-
sition. If you want to move dirt proceed
as advised in No. 2. In soft spot step
back on to the rear slab. On hard
spot step to the front and drive very
cautiously, for il the steel catches on
a root or strikes a solid bowlder the
drag might tip over. When the drag
clogs step to a point as far from the
ditch end Of the log as possible and
pull your team toward the center or
the road for few steps.
In order to do all these things sat-
isfactorily safe platform should
cover the space on top Of the stakes
between the slabs. Use inch boards;
nail to three cleats; place two cleats
so they will drop just inside the end
stakes; place third cleat so it will not
interfere with middle stake; make the
cleats to fit neatly between the slabs,
bust space the boards an inch from
each slab and from each other. These
cracks will allow earth to sift through.

Then I would have you remember
yon are apt to do better work after a
years experience. And your team also
is green, uncertain what you want
them to do. The team will learn pres
emily to walk to suit the drag, and you
will find that helps much. At first you
will find yourself driving the team
and ignoring the drag. Shortly there
after you will be caught driving the
drag and ignoring the team. Expert
ence will teach you to give attention to
both simultaneously.

compels the unloaded drag to follow
the team at an angle Of about 45, de-
grees, then step on and regulate 1t by
shifting your weight from point to
point. The action Of the drag is gov
erned by four things-first, by the dis
tance of the double trees from the
drag, which is regulated by slipping
the chain backward or forward through
the hole in the ditch end of the drag.
The length Of the chain determines the
hold taken on the ground. To make
the chain longer is equivalent to add
ing weight to the drag. If the drag Is
too heavy, shorten the hitch. Second, !,

Advantage of soIidIy Rolled Earth az
an Element In Permanency.
At Bement, Platt county, Mo-, road
making experiment Is in progress
which will be watched with much in
terest, says the Carrollton (Mo) Ga
zette. It is conducted under the direc-
ton Of the state highway commission
and is intended to- demonstrate the
advantage Of the highly compacted
earth as an element In the permanency
of the roads. s,
A stretch Of road half mile or more
In length was excavated to depth OF
twenty inches to two feet and the
earth thrown out at the side. Then
all enormous steam roller was put into
this excavation, which is about twen-
ty feet wide, and the bottom rolled
down as solid as it could be made;
Then the excavated earth was thrown
in by degrees, drenched with water
and rolled thoroughly, and 80 on til
the excavated earth was, put back.
This rolling process Is so rigid that
the earth thrown out will not nearly
fill the excavation, and to complete the
filing up ample bitches are cut at the
sides Of the road, the earth thrown
into the excavation and thoroughly
compacted with the roller. The ex-
cavation is filed up to the height de-
sired for the roadway, and thus the
road consists Of body Of earth nearly
or quite two feet thick compacted as
firmly as it is possible for roller to
compact it.
Now, the theory is that If this road
is thoroughly drained, so that it cannot
be- undermined by water, and is dress
ed down on the top with drag when
ever it Is wet from rain It will shed
the water on the top and be perma-
nently solid and smooth road and one
that can be constructed at moderate
cost.

seldom the fat conformation of the
fore feet. The inner heels Of the fore
feet are the most frequent seat of
corns on account mainly Of the horn
on the inner heel being weaker than
that Of the outer. The practice Of fit-
ting the inner web Of the shoe to the
wall whereby part Of its bearing Is on
the seat Of cornS is also responsible
in some degree. This practice is adopt
ed presumably to prevent brushing.
but it is unnecessary. as in brushing a
horse does not touch with the heel.
but with the quarter, or toe.
The lameness caused by: corns con-
sists In a short, stflty, stumbling step,
is most apparent on hard roads and III
creases with exercise. When at rest
the animal has a tendency to point
the foot, with the heel slightly raised,
toe resting on ground and limb bent.
If there are corns on both feet there Is
alternate pointing or frequent change
Of the pointed foot Unlike navicular
lameness, that from corns increases
with exercise.
The spongy, bruised horn should be
pared away so as to allow any efusion
or matter to be discharged. The spot
should then be dressed with balsam,
butter Of antimony or other antisepdc
and hardening agent. It is essential
that pressure should be kept of the
part, and to insure this horse with
