ASHINGTON.-Congre almost every
year has before it the case Of some West
Point cadet who allowed his animal spir-
its to get the better of him. and who I'M
der the impulse of the moment commit
ted some act Of hazing or Of another
kind Of discipline breach, and therefore
suffered dismissal. The life at West
Point is a hard one, and each successive
board Of visitors is likely to make some
suggestion to make the cadets condition
just q little MOI irksome. Just now
there Is speculation on the subject OF
what the ON cial visitors of the year of
grace, 1909. will recommend as an addi-
ton to the academy's code of discipline.

New Vermont Railway.

The route has been practically decided
upon for at least part of the railroad that
the prospective purchasers of the $780,
600 plant of the Columbian Marble com
pany of Rutland are to build to give
access to the nine miles of marble Ian d
they recently purchased in TinmUu h and
Dandy. Surveyors are now at work in
West Rutland where the road will con
meet with the Delaware and Hudson
tracks and 1t j. stated that + ! 900 0JU
will be laid out in the new line which
will be run by steam power.
A valley. that of the Clarendon Springs
stream. runs nearly due south from We t
Rutland almost t. Tinmouth aud 1t is
this valley that the road will follow. tn
grade being very gradual except al the
south end. The proposition now is to
build a spur over the. hill from Granville
n. Y, giving an outlet in another
direction.
When asked if the road would handle
more han the cOmpany's freight, the
officials declined to answer further than
tnat it would be built on a scale that
would surprise everybody.
The Columbian concern is replacing its
wooden buildings with new steel struc-
lures and is putting up an additional
steel mill, $50 10y so feet in dimensions.
Within IA few months Rutland will have
running an enterprise employing 25O
hands which has been idle for two years.

Fire Destroys louisville Farm
Barns,

Fire at Morrisville Saturday destroyed
all the barns and out-buildings on
Malvern farms with the single exception
of an open shed. The property Is owned
by j. L.. Hovey and his loss is over
$4,000 with insurance of $l,l10 on the
barns and OF $3.50 on the produce. The
house and barns were built many years
ago by MIR. Griswold, of New York, and
cost SIS .000.
The origin of the fire Is u%nk0nwn but it
is supposed that tramps sleeping in the
barns set them aire. Smoke was first
seen pouring out of the cupola of the
large barn at $40 'clock in the morning
and the W hole building was quickly en-
VI Hoped i'll flames Which spread rapidly
to the stables at the east and the horse
barn and out-buildings to the west. In
response to a telephone call the village
fire department went out but owing II
the scarcity of water the hook and ladder
W 8 all that could be used to assist the
bucket brigade, Mr.. Hovey's residence
was saved after a hard fight on the part
of fremen and n%eighbors.
The livestock escaped AS all the cattle
Were in the pasture and the horses
hitched ready for the days work. The
produce destroyed consisted of Is tons of
hay and the oats from seven acres.
Many valuable farm machines and i'm
pl-me Is were also destroyed.

Rutland Carpenter MISSING,

No rae has yet been found of Robert
w. Stark, a carpenter from Rutland,
who disappeared from Lowell, Mass,
July 27. Two sons of Mr. Stark went to
Lowell from Newport last week to renew
the search for him. .
Their sons say that their father, as the
result of trouble over an assault became
dissatisfied with Vermont and determined
to seek work at his trade as a carpenter
in Lowell, Lynn, Lawrence and Boston.
He has no relatives, they say, in that
section md they are unable TO under
stand where he could have gone.
Mr.. Stark, when he went to Lowell
secured rooms and obtained work as a
carpenter with the understanding that
he would write to Rutland for his union
card. This he did and the union card
was found in an envelope by his sons.
All his clothing is at his boarding house.
Mr.. Stark worked on the frontier in
his early life and bears a number of bull
let marks on his body, arms and legs.
He is about go years old.
Efforts will be made through the car
penters' union to see if the man is work
ing anywhere in that section of New
England.

Letter to Prof. Walter Howard.
MIMI EnTTDW VT

Dear Sir: A certain paint manufac-
turer advertised waldorf Astoria paint
ed throughout with my paint A part
Of the basement was SO painted; not
satisfactory painted Devoe next time.
There's "a certain paint, a big concern,
very proud and ambitious. that hated to
see so big a job of another paint; so it
went for hat business.
That former paint was about two-thirds
not paint, but this proud and ambitious
paint Was only about one-third not paint.
1t succeeded in getting a trial; % gall
Ions, . kits of 3 gallons each.
When the painter has used n kit,
he called the manager: not satisfactory;
4 of the kits returned. A paint, one
third not paint, is not good enough to
displace Devoe.
This was several years ago. That
proud and ambitious paint is better now;
II is nearer honest; it isn't short mea-
sure at all and only 10 per cent adulter-
ated. It's a pretty good paint now; ID
or IA gallons of it goes as far as 10 of
DevOe.
Judge / ID Fairchild owns two houses
alike in Lufkin, Texas. j NJ Terrence
painted both houses, one Devoe, and the
other with that proud and ambitious
adulterated 10 per cent paint. 1t took
154 gallons Devoe and 25 gallons of the
proud and ambitious paint.
1t takes a pretty good paint to disturb
Devoe.
Yours truly,

tacks of this fatal disease cure your in

They will make the whole alimentary
canal healthy from the stomach to the

Dandy Man Found Dead in Barn,

The body of Harrison Parent of Dandy
was found Friday in the barn belonging
to Charles Mulligan lying IN IN old mat
tress with the head lying partly under
one arm. The face was considerably
discolored but there are no evidences of
foul play.
When last seen, Parent, who is gener-
ally of model habits. was on the streets
of the town Thursday evening, Aug
ust 26, but had evidently been drinking
somewhat, in company with several
other young men. who were with him
at the time. 1t is thought that he was
taken t. the old barn by his friends. to
get him out of the way for the time be-
ing until he could sober up. 1t is not
improbable, from the fact that the face
was di~scolored, that the man suffocated
from the position in which his mead lay
when found.
States Attorney Jones Of Rutland
was notified Immediately and he in
structed an inquest, but no further facts
were disclosed.
The young man was % years old and
leaves a wife and one child. He had
been employed for the past three years
at the plant of the Vermont Marble Co,
at Brandon.

GRIDIRON GOSSIP
BY JOHN DE WITT.

1t is to be regretted that Wash
ington university and w. S. c. may
not meet this year. They are the
logical opponents of each other.
There would be a good game, be-
cause while Dobie's imagination is
a wonderful one, and he fills the
papers with bear" stories about
his team. yet he is a good coach
and he has a good team. He and
Coach Kienholz both came from
Minnesota, and it would soon show
who had the best team by results
from their several methods.
Whitworth college has magnifi
cent team. They fight clear up to
the last minute of the game. They
know how to play ball, too and are
solid lot of players gathered to-
gether from the four corners of the
earth. Among them are two In
dians, one Jap and one negro. Can
they play? Ask Judge Poindexter,
who saw the game Can they play?
/ have seen many games this year,
but none like this. Spokane peo-
pie seeing it were delighted with
it, because it was full of good sport
from beginning to end.
w. S. c. treated Whitworth very
generously. They cheered them
continuously as a team cheerod
their plays and cheered their men.
After the game Whitworth men
said. Washington university men
would not even score against you.
If Washington university claims
the championship after refusing to
play Whitworth, w. S. c. and Den
yer university, what will the public
think of such a baby act? This is
only a case of the coast cities jeal-
Gus Of the success of eastern Wash
ington.
Coach Kienholz has demon
strated two things by this game,
viz: First, the splendid unity of
his team, who fought as a body, all
individuals being stars; second,
that his methods of training made
this possible, for they had had good
coaches before, but had not accom-
plished this.
Coach kienholz has several men
for each position, Remember, he
played this game without the help
of Minor or Buck, two of his best
first team men. In the last half
he took out his whole back team,
and substituted others. The last
half was cut five minutes in time,
otherwise much larger score
would have been made, against a
first class team, who fought like
demons. The game, as usual, was
played In mud. What will this team
be able to-do on dry field?
Denver university comes to Spo-
kane Saturday, December A, with a
big reputation, and Spokane people
will turn out to see the game of
the season. Upon the w. s. g.
team are five Spokane. boys: De
Witt, Englehorn, Galbraith,
Fancher and Kienholz; the three
first being on the first team, and
the last two subs. w. q. G. plays
all kinds Of foot ball: old line. new
line, any old kind Of line, and Il IL
pleasure 10 see them make the
forward pass. They fight like tig
err. every play being snappy: nc
