TWO BURNED TO DEATH.
Rutland, w., Woman Uses Kerosene 20
k;ndle Fire With Fatal Result.

Rutland, VT. April 22.-The bodies
of a woman and her child lying on the
kitchen floor and a kerosene can near
the stove in the home of Arthur Haw-
ley, a Rutland milk pedler, today re-
vealed to the neighbors another trag-
edy resulting from the use of oil in
lighting a fire. The victims were Mrs
Hdwlcy, who was u years of age, and
her 1-yearold baby boy, Roy.
While the husband was on his milk
route the woman evidently poured
kerosene into the kitchen stove and
before help could arrive she and the
baby had been burned to death. Neigh
bors saw smoke coming from the
house and rushed to the scene in time
to save the building from being de-
stroyed but too late to save the lives
of the woman and child.

Stock Yds April 20.-The supply of
mich cows and spingers was unusu-
ally light, when compared with recent
weekly receipts which have ruled small.
About $50 cows were offered and while
there were some highly bred cows on
sale the bulk of the sales were of or
binary cows selling at S25 to $45. Prices
showed no advance, and dealers, are
often obliged to sell under first cost, in
order to close ont. The demand was no
better. but sales closed shade more
quickly than a week ago, with less
contention over prices.
Beef cattle We're in light supply and
the demand was active, and the mar
ket held fairly steady at the recent
decline.

LAFAYETTE BUILDING ASSN.
SemiAnnuaI Statement Shows lnsti-
tuition in FIourishing Condition.
Net Profits Six Months $6,426.95, :.

The semi-annual statement of the
Lafayette Building Association ap-
pears in this issue and shows the as
ISOLATION to be in a prosperous and
fl%ourishing condition. The total as
sets are $1O4. 4O5.O and the net pro-
fits for the past six months is $6,426.-
95. This is a larger profit than for
any corresponding six months pre-
vious. By consulting the table of
shares in force, and contrasting the
amount paid in with the profit on the
shares, the value of stock in the asso-
citation as an investment will be strik-
ingly evident.
The association during the time it
has been established, has not only re-
allied handsome dividends on the
money invested but has been of great
service to the community by assisting
many to build homes, who otherwise,
would have been forced to remain
renters.
The excellent showing of the associ-
alton is due to the wise management
of it's officers, who have handled it's af-
fairs in a conservative and business
like manner, and its prospects for a
larger growth and usefulness to the
community are fine.
The association has just opened it's
39th series and those desiring a pay
ing investment should take stock in
the new series.

The Senate insurgents.

Times-Democrat:
Republican Senators who contribu-
ted to the puissance of Aldrich over
the protest of their constituents, and
Republican Representatives who yield
ed to the pursuasiveness of the speak
er and his chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, will have leisure
during the next few months to reflect
upon the hereafter. Their reflections
it may be predicted with some con-
fidence will not, in all cases be wholly
unpleasant. There are one or two
Representatives for example, who,
their constituents insist, pledged
themselves, prior to their election, to
vote against Mr.. Cannon for Speaker
and who cast their vote for that gen.
tleman with the greatest ease and
alacrity. Others were pledged it is

rules, and developed the infirmity of a

bill, must have new commissions be-
fore March 8, 1911. The public mem
DRY is short but there is some reason
to believe that it's recollection of the
present performance will not have
faded utterly when the senatorial to-
gas to be surrendered in 1911 are re-
distributed, and the members of the
~Sixty-second Congress are chosen.
"The detection of Congressman in
both houses, Immediately following
their h~eart-to-heart communings with
the voters during the national cam
paign, when they had abundant oppor-
tunity to learn the wishes of their
constituents, is probably due not SO
much to inherent d~epravity of the
individual as to the inherent d~epravity
of control. The insergeants in eth
er branch might lay by treas
ures in the hearts Of his
home voters, but he was absolutely
certain to gather no harvest in the
shape of desirable committee appoint
ments or special favors in private leg
islation. When he lifted his hand
against the machine in either house
the machine lifted it's heavier hand
against him. The fine fervor and
glow of the spell binding days stalled
in the chill of the legislative halls.
To be good was to be lonesome. The
"inseargeants' paid heavily for
their s~teadfastness, while regularity
commanded a prompt and generous
premium at the hands Of the regular
leaders.
But this argument, which doubtless
appealed powerfully to the law ma
kers who halted betwixt love Of good
company, the favor Of leaders and
good committee assignments and the
behest Of their home people, may not
impress the voters whose wishes were
ignored. The ~eloquence with which
it was expounded in the cloak rooms
is likely to fall fiat il the public halls
Of the cities and the school houses Of
the rural districts. Everywhere there
are rumblings of discomfort and near
ly everywhere the .insurgent squad
whipped to a standstNl, but fighting to
the end. is praised. rhe twilight hour
of reflection will doubtlessly prove
uncomfortable for many who helped
to carry the reactionary cause Of VIC
tory and thereby have invited their
own individual defeat.

BY motion Of Mr.. Pefferkorn the

ton of Jack Delhomme to assist in
hauling garbage at $40 per month was

The petition of residents and pro-
perty owners of Elmhurst, for a water
main along st. John and other streets
of the addition was tabled for future
reference. A protest from Mr.. ALT.
A. Bonnet against the proposed ce-
ment walk along his property was read
and referred. Mr.. Bonnet asked some
relief owing to his inability to meet
his heavy expenses.
The application of Mr.. c. ]. Muller
and Eugene Olivier for licenses as
electrical engineer and plumber re-
spectively were granted. Complaint
from the citizens of Trahan and Dou-
Get additions as to dumping of gar
bage was read and relief arranged for
petitioners. Erwin Mouton asked for
appointment as dog killer and same
was referred to the chief.
Mr.. Cunningham reported amicable
adjustment with Mr.. Patterson for a
strip of land taken for the town by
payment of $50. The application of
the Lafayette Improvement company
for a fat rate for water and light in
the Gordon Hotel and Jefferson thea
ire was referred to Supt. F. e. Voor-
hies for adjustment, the Council favor
ing the change If it could be done with
no loss to the town
The account of Attorney Jno. l..
Kennedy for s130 for entering suits
against property owners who had fail
ed to pay for walks and guttering was
rejected. The account of Auditor Ed.
Boyle for balance due was again re-
referred.
The transfer Of saloon license from
RIB. Dantzler to MD. Dalferes and
from Mr.. Dalferes to Ed
ward Rrien was approved; also trans
