has since distinguished itself by cxccut-
ing one of those corporation jugglcs 50

appearances, divorced its mine from

the separation WAS unattended by any

of its accomplishment was to tighten

bullion tax of Nevada is levied upon
the net proceeds of the ore, and by
making Il high charge for reduction,
the apparent profit from the ore can be
greatly reduced. And by organizing
the milling company separately from
the mining company and having its
milling company charge its mining

hope to get the best of the State on il,

PEACE HATH HER VICTORIES

This country Of ours has had five
wars. the Revolutionary War. the War
of 1872, the Mexican War. the War of
the Rebellion. the war with Spain. and
many Indian wars. They were all
successful. and today the whole world
acknowledges IL rightful place amoIg
the nations.
But those wars do not give us half
the prestige that do the victories of
Peace that we have now And behind
those victories is the majestic fact that
what has been done has been possible
because every man in this land has been
free to do any legitimate thing without
hindrIncc: and the fact that all the

spur that has always melted the people

such Il scale IF magnitude that now
half the world leans upon the United
States for bread and meat and textiles,
and counts rs an annual great asset the
patronage of American travellers in
their respective countries.
OF course, much of this would have
been impossible except for the invention
of the steam engine. but had that
never been invented, mighty progress
would have been made. and today the

Scrivens was arrested soon after
the assault in which it was charged
that Sweet was severely injured by
kicks in the ribs and in other res
poets. An offence of this nature
would have been in the jurisdiction OF
a justice in Pownal but Scrivens was
taken here and lodged in jail.
He was brought into court this
morning on his request that the
states attorney file an information
against him. He was not able to
pay his fine and was taken back to
jail.

WHEN TO FEED POULTRY FOOD

There Is a prevailing notion with a
certain class of poultrymen that it
doesn't pay to force laying fowls dur
ing the warm summer months-that
they viii get along very well with or
binary food and what they can pick
up about the yards. That this opin-
ion is not shared by the most pro-
gressive poultrymen is shown by the
fact that not long ago the manufac-
turers of Pages Perfected Poultry
Food" inquired of some of the prom
inent poultry breeders of New Eng
land as to what they considered the
best time in which to feed this food.
D. j. Lambert of Apponaug, r. l., who
is famous as breeder of high class
poultry and one of the best known
in New EpMiPnd answered as follows
1--WE feed Pages Poultry Food" every
month in the year"

Thrown From Trolley Car in Pow
nal Saturday Afternoon.

William J. Brougham' of Dewey ST.,
was thrown to the ground and sew
erely injured while alighting from a
trolley car in Pownal Saturday after
noon. Mr. Brougham states that as
he was about to place his foot on the
step the motorman started the car
suddenly and he fell headlong down
an embankment near Lampman' s
crossing. He struck the frozen
ground with much force bruising his
face badly, glazing his left arm and
shoulder and breaking the thumb on
his right hand.
Mr. Brougham is employed as col
lector for the Metropolitan life insur-
ance company and despite his injur-
les was about his work this morning.
1t will be some time before he will
have the use of his hand, which
handicaps him in his work.
The conductor allowed the car to
proceed beyond the crossing before
giving the motorman the signal to
stop, and it is said it scarcely stop
ped its momentum before the power
was again turned on.
