Death of Marion lyman.

The citizens were greatly shocked wher
informed of the death of the beautiful
little Marion, daughter of Mrs. Ruth
Preston Lyman, which occurred in this
village last Friday. She was taken i'll
with the grip three weeks previous and
later typhoid fever developed. She then
failed rapidly until the end. Three phys
icians had been in attendance or in con-
sultation in the effort to save her, but
without avail.
She was an exceptionally intelligent and
bright student in school, having entered
the grammar school the fall term of '07 al
the age of eleven years. Her amiable-
ness. department and cheerfulness won
her the affection of all with whom she be-
came acquainted, especially her class
mates and associates, as attested by the
deep sorrow expressed.
Her funeral was largely attended, the
church being filled to its seating capacity.
Rev. Sherman Goodwin, pastor of the
church which Marion attended, officiated.
Beautiful in life, she was beautiful in
death, attired in full dress Of cream
white, lying in casket of white velvet,
open for full view, banked with floral
tributes, mostly in white, she gave the
appearance of a child sweetly sleeping on
a bed of white flowers.
Her remains were buried at North Roy
alton beside her father, who died a few
years ago in his young manhood.

WARM TELEPHONE MEETING.
Orange County Company Choose.
New Directors after Contest

Inc annual meeting of the Orange
County Telephone company was held in
the Town hall on Tuesday. The meeting
was attended by larger number of
stockholders than usual, as the rumor
had been circulated that the company
mad been led into debt during the past
year, and important matters of future
policy were to be considered. The mat
tiers discussed brought out wide DIVERSE
ty of opinions and at times some warmth.
1t was IL o'clock when President q. R.
Andrews called the meeting to order.
Dr. j. M. Winch of Northfield was
elected chairman, and at once proceeded
with the business. After the call was
read, the reports of the following officers
were received:-G. r. Andrews. as presi-
dent; r. II. Williams as secretary and
treasurer, and Stanley C. Wilson as audi
tor. These reports were accepted after
some discussion and the presidents re-
port was laid on the table, after some de-
bate, in the course of which Mr.. Andrews
was asked various questions about the
purchase of the Northfield- Montpelier
line, which was made from him by the
company.
The presidents report showed that four
new switches have been installed the past
year, and that trunk lines have been in
stalled between Randolph and Mortified,
Chelsea and Corinth, Williamstown and
Brookfeld, Northfield and Williamstown
completed, and Plainfield and Chelsea
completed.
The report of the auditor went some
what into detail and showed the present
financial standing of the company as
compared with year ago and the ex-
PLANTATION. 1t showed the company an
proximately $4,000 in debt, as against
balance in the treasury year ago of
sum more than large enough to pay all
debts. The summary of receipts and ex-
penditures foIlows:-

MINING NEWS.


 with Senator Reynolds of New York, is developing the Bingham ton mine at Copper mountain, passed through here last night en route to his home in Phoenix from the mine, where he directed the preliminary work of laying out a site for the new 300 ton smelling plant, the building of a new road from the new townsite of Stoddard, two miles north of the old townsite, to Humboldt, and other improve ments.
 Florence Blade: The two trac- tion Keystone drilling plants ordered by the Ray Consolidated Copper Company arrived this week and were taken from Kelvin up to the Ray mines, where they will be put in operation at once. They are from Pennsylvania, and are standard Keystone drilling ma chimes that have stood the test in the Pennsylvania oil fields for years past. They are capable of going several thousand feet in depth through any kind of ground and are easier and cheaper to oper- ate than are diamond core drills.
 Tucson Citizen: President D. s. Rose of the Twin Buttes Mining and Smelling Company arrived in Tucson at noon from his home in Milwaukee. He will remain until after the annual meeting of the company in January. MT. Rose was asked if there is a possibility of the resumption of work at the mines within a short time "We will resume work again at the mines when copper advances two cents more per pound" Mir. Rose remarked. We can ship copper at reasonable profit at 15 cents per pound and as soon as the price advances to that figure we will work our properties again"
 Arizona Republican: As sequel to the visit of Meredith k. Lawson of Parkersburg, w. Va, to the Big Bug district a month ago, all de- tails for the purchase of the. Revenue group of mines from the Alto Mining Company were ar ranged yesterday and the title of property passed to the Leontina Consolidated Mining Company, a new concern of which Mir. Lawson Is president and the owner of large block of its stock. The group, comprising eight claims, is located on the eastern slope and summit of the Big Bug and Walker divide, short distance west of the Alto group owned by the Alto Mining Company and two miles southwest of the Jessie, Dividend, Lelan and other proven mines.
 Journal-Miner: Five carloads of lumber arrived at Jerome yester- day for the Haynes Copper Com pany. The material will be used Tn the construction Of a power house and gallows frame. County Assessor Campbell, general mana ger of the concern, will leave here Thursday with force of mechanic to commence the construction of the improvements. The three slxty-horse boilers, hoist and air compressor, recently purchased, are expected in short time. Work installing the machinery will be

 hundred feet.
 Mohave Miner: A force of twen-
 ty-five men have been put to work
 in the three compartment shaft of
 the Billy Bryan mine of the Gold
 Road company, with the object of opening up the big ore shoot on that property. This force will be kept at work until the new mill becomes a reality. Monday the mill closed down, big bar of $30,- 900 being shipped into Kingman the following day. It will take about week to make clean up of the tank and filters, which will make the last bar of bullion to be taken from the old mill. The Billy Bryan mine will be the only one of the group to receive atten- ton until the property is electric alized, the Gold Road mine only getting the necessary looking af- ter to keep the opening in repair and the water below the levels.
 Bisbee Review: Copper consum- CTS are now coming around strong ly to the belief that we shall see higher prices. Every man who knows anything about the metal situation agrees that it has never been in stronger position tech nlcaly than at the present time. They know that when the market does change it will take an upward turn very sharply, and that 16-cent copper will be made early during the month of January. The state ment of Thomas F. Cole to the effect that we shall see 20-cent cop per during the year 1908 appears conservative to those who believe that the financial situation is i'm proving faster that the outward in- dications would make it appear. This is the same with the copper market. Ten years work and pre- paration could not have given us the sound and excellently healthy situation that we are now confront ing. Thus when the turn comes 1t will be rapid and we shall be lucky if the situation does not get away from us before we realize that the strong upward movement has come. One of the strongest signs is the indifference of the average produc- ing company to orders at current quotations. They are making ab. solutely no effort to get business, and while money to be loaned on bullion is scarce the belief in the best informed quarters is so strong that all are willing to hold metal for 60 days, believing that the market will come to them at higher figures, than would be the case if they went to the market at the present level of quotations. If any thing in this world was ever sold out to a standstill it is the copper share market. Stocks continue 10 have but one trend and that is up- ward. Otherwise they are dull but with no stocks coming out.

CHAMPAGNE CROP
NEAR TOTAL LOSS
THE FRENCH GROWERS LOOK
FOR RELIEF TO PARLIAMEN-
TARY ACTION.

PARIS, September 12.-Because OF
the failure of the years champagne
harvest, those interested in that in
dustry in the department of Marine
hope that Parliament, moved by their
distress will take effective measures
to limit the use OF the name cham
payne to wines grown in the depart
ment of Marine and few communes in
the department of Aisne.
Mildew has ruined the crop this
year. While the average output is as
100000 bottles in ordinary years, this
year it will scarcely exceed 1000, 900
bottles. This need not mean an imme-
date increase in the price of cham
payne, as the average sale is &c, 600, 100
bottles and the surplus stock in the
cellars is 112,0O0,O00 bottles.
One hectare this year only aver
ages 300 liters worth about $500, while
the mere cost OIL cultivating a hectare
is $500. The loss to the growers al
ready is millions of dollars. Thirty
two thousand casks of wines grown
outside the Champagne district are ex-
pected to reach Marine soon, and this
will be champagnized and sold as the
local product.
violent appeal has been placarded
in every commune convoking meet
ings for Sunday and declaring that out
side wines must be prevented from
entering the Champagne district.

RHEUMATISM.

So little confidence has the average
man in the various cures for rheuma-
tism that he often suffers for years
without making any effort to find re-
lief He then finds that it has become
chronic. This is a mistake, as the
pain can always be relieved, and in
most cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes

ARMOR-PIERCING
TORPEDO BOAT

Commander Clelland Da-
Wis, United States Navy, has devised a
torpedo gun capable of tearing holes in
the best armored war-ship afoat. Not
more than score of persons have ever
seen the Davis torpedo gun in action,
and not one-third of that number could
describe it IL they would. 1t is one of
the secrets of the Navy Department
that must be kept secret to maintain
its value. But enough is known to
prove that the Davis invention is the
greatest advance in the art of hitting
the enemy hardest since Ericsson set
his Yankee cheese box on a plank"
and cleared the sea of many times it's
weight in ironcads.
While the invention oil Commander
Davis is called gun, it is in reality
an improved torpedo. Torpedoes such
as those in general use detonate when
| they strike the exterior of a ships hull,
and lose much of their effectiveness
through the escape of gases. The Da-
Wis torpedo is fired from an ordinary
! torpedo tube, operates by compressed
air, and has an effective range of at
least a mile Like the torpedo pro-
per, it becomes destructive when it
strikes an obstruction, either the side
of battleship or a vessels torpedo
netting; but, unlike the common tor
pedo, it does not itself detonate. I'm
mediately on impact high explosive
is set off, which discharges a pro1ec-
tile through the hull of the ship This
projectile contains another charge of
explosive with time fuse attached
which is set working at the moment Of
the original impact. The projectile is
hurled through the armor plate of the
target and eXplodes inside the hull
with a destructive force sufficient to
sink the finest fighting craft afloat.
Much stress is laid upon the fact that
netting such as is used to protect Eng
fish battleships against torpedo attack
has no effect against the Davis torpedo
gun.
In actual trial at Washington, the
Davis torpedo gun recently hurled a
projectile through seven inches of ar
NOR plate, then through ten feet of
coal, and again through seven inches of
armor on the other side. AS the pro-
jectile itself was not charged with ex-
plosive, the amount of destructive
force that would have followed was not
demonstrated at that test, but the ex-
perts have way of calculating these
details that leaves little to the imagin-
alton
"There is not a battleship afloat that
can live ten minutes after it is hit
with that projectile," exclaimed one of
the men who saw the test; and there
was no one present to disagree with
him.
A more recent test held in Boston
Harbor showed equally surprising re-
suits. A target tank had been con-
structed, stronger than a section OF
battleship, of three-quarter-inch iron
with three interior bulkheads. This
tank was formerly the property of the
Standard Oil Company. 1t was bal
lasted with forty tons of scrap iron
and submerged II IL feet. The pro-
jectile was driven clear into the CEN
tire of the tank, which sank in fifteen
seconds, and the torpedo gun was

Of HONOLULU

Almost ten years ago 20 a month
the residents of Honolulu gave mem
orable reception to the members OF
the First regiment, U. $. Volunteers,
of which the Old Tenth battalion OF
this city formed an important arm. On
Friday of the week just past, 300
men Of the Atlantic battleship fleet
were given another rousing reception
at Honolulu, which appears in the
light of an anniversary, coming as 1t
did half a score of years after the
first American troops landed upon the
Island.
1t. Col. Charles e. Davis of this
city, who during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war was sent by the government
to Honolulu to establish a military
hospital there, in an interview with a
Sunday Press reporter last night de-
clared that the reception given the
doughboys in 1898 was almost equal
TO that which was given on Friday to
the "Jackies."
$50 far as l have read" began
Col. Davis, 1.-THE reception that the
men of the navy got was in no way
warmer or more enthusiastic than that
which was given our boys. | don't
think a reception could be warmer or
that any people could spread them
selves more deliberately than did the
natives and residents of Honolulu in
August ten years ago.
THE Tenth battalion, as it was
then, did not reach Honolulu until
early in August, yet their arrival was
the cause of a fresh outburst of en-
thusiasm and the receptions were re-
peated on a smaller scale than at the
time that the first United States
troops arrived
