State Must Pay MikeIes' Bills.

State auditor Horace F. Graham and
States Attorney Benjamin Gates have
conferred in regard to paying for surgi-
cal attention and he hos ital expenses
of John Mikeles, who shot and killed
Mrs. c. G.. Mascot at Barre city
July %.
1t has been decided that, inasmuch as
Mikeles has been practically under arrest
since he committed the crime. the ex-
penses of surgical operations and TIE
hospital expenses should be paid by the
state. The Barre physicians who have
had charge of this case deny that they
have delayed an operation on Mikeles
until they knew who was to pay for
them.
The auditor ruled that inasmuch as
Mikeles was under arrest and in the
charge of an officer, the expenses will he
allowed in the justice bill Of costs
Mikeles is able to walk fir IN one room
to another in the hospital but he is not
yet beyond the danger of blood
poisoning.

BrattIeboro Masonic Temple.

The committee from several Masonic
bodies of Brattleboro, who have in
charge the work connected with the
building of a Masonic temple, have
made tentative plans for a building
which would meet the requirements of
the local lodges and will have specifica-
tions drawn up within few weeks and
then call for bids on the work of c. n
struction. The building association Sc
cured early this year the DR.. O'Connor
house and lot ON Main street as a site for
their future temple. A building such
AS the committee have in mind will be
built of brick or stone and will be four
stories high. A high basement will give
room for bowling alley, billiard and
smoking rooms. The first and second
floors will contain offices in the front,
which will be rented to professional
men and the rear of these floors will
contain large public hall. The third
and fourth floors will contain the lodge
rooms for the various Masonic bodies.
The new temple will stand between the
Baptist clutch and the Brooks library
and Just beyond is the site upon which
the government will erect postoffice
and court house.

by the speakers and orators of the party
to catch the workingman's vote; and
"Whereas, this political party by
these promises succeeded in securing the
ballot of the workingmen, who believed
in their party's promises; and
Whereas, Immediately after the cleo
ton these pledges and planks were vlo-
lated; be it
"Resolved, That the Republican party

Will Reopen Bio Plant.

A company of business men compris-
ing Charles E. Hires and j. Edgar Hires
of Philadelphia, and Z. Henry Powell,
G.. w. Marks and Sayles Nichols of Bur.
lington, filed an application for the in
corporation of the Enosburgh Falls Mills
Co. at the town clerks Office. The new
company has purchased the factory of
the Federal Packing Co. in Enosburg
Falls, which was erected in 1908 at a
cost of $S7 ,000 and said to be one of the
largest and best equipped plants of its
kind in the country.
The factory it will be remembered.
was operated by the Federal company
from September, 1908, until February
10, 1909 when it was compelled to sus-
pend operations on account of "a milk
war. Since that time the plant has been
idle.
The new company hopes to begin the
manufacture of condensed and evap
GRATED milk on large scale by Septem-
Der Is.
The Philadelphia men interested in
the project are widely known through
the manufacture of Hires Root Beer
1t is understood that a petition will be
made to the town to secure an eXemp-
ton from taxation for term of years.
Local sentiment seems to favor taking
such action, with the stipulation, how
ever, that the taxes shall be renewed in
case the plant should shut down, as did
the Federal company last February.

Fire at SWanton.

The old freight depot at Swanton, sit
uated north of the East Station, and two
freight cars, were destroyed by fire at
about o'clock Saturday morning, the
fire taking, it is supposed, from sparks
of "A passing engine.
Saturday night at $3.50 there was an
alarm of fire caused by lamp explosion
at the house on North street owned by
David Sargent, and occupied by Orrin
Lashaway.
Sunday evening at : o'clock there was
another alarm OF fire caused by a blaze
in the lookup on Merchants Row,
brought about by a prisoner setting
waste papers afire while smoking, which
caused quite q smoke and some commo-
ton. The fire department responded in
both the latter cases, but We're not need
ed, and no great damage was caused in
either case.

TROUT SEASON CLOSED.
Smaller Catches Reported than
for Some Years Past.

At twelve o'clock Sunday night the
trout season for 1909 came to a close, and
all fishing in lakes and streams through
out Vermont where trout abound is now
illegal and will be until May 10Th, 1910.
The trout season this, year according to
the reports of fishermen, has been a very
poor one all over the state, in spite of
the fact that thousands of fingerings
are placed in the trout streams and lakes
annually. Fewer fish have been caught
this year, and very few large trout are
reported.
The reason is attributed to the drought
of last summer. This dried up many
small streams which the trout frequent
in the late part of the season, and conse-
quently many were killed. Henry G.
Thomas, fish and game commissioner of
Stowe, thinks the season just over, has
been far better than early signs indi-
Gated, and certainly much better than it
looked last summer. Mr.. Thomas ex-
plains this by saying that when the
small brooks and streams dried up last
summer, many trout followed down
stream to the deeper water, and enough
were saved to keep this years percent
age up to the average. His reports from
various sections of the state show that
the season has been very good.
However the season is now over, and
real fishermen and near fishermen must
hang up their rods and live on the r
achievements of the past, and dream of
the big speckled beauties they will land
next season.

Division School Money Among
Towns.

The force in the office of State Treasu-
rer f. II. Deavitt of Montpelier is com
piling figures showing the division of
State money for higher education. I'M
der the law if high school is not main
tanned IN town and if pupils are sent
to another town for high school or
academy education. the town with a
high school is entitled TO a certain sum
of money.
The compilation thus far shows that
st. Johnsbury receives the largest
amount Of this money of any town in
the State. While ST. Johnsbury Acad-
envy has large attendance of pupils, it
is a private school under the meaning Of
the law.

Publicly whipped in the Street.

a public whipping took place at Will
Evansville. small village in Newfane.
when William $. Shippe soundly whip
ped Frank Allen for an alleged insult to
Shippe's wife. Both men are employed
i'll the mill of A. NJ. Mortified in Will
Evansville and the affair happened on the
main street of that quiet village Both
parties, the wielder of the rawhide and
his victim are well known.
After finishing his forenoon's work
Shippe went to Mr.. Merrifeld's general
store and purchased - cent whip. He
then went to II. A. Williams store
where Allen was comfortably seated,
Willing away the remainder of the noon
hour.
Shippe started the argument by ac-
cusing Allen of having struck MIS-
Shippe Sunday night and asked him to
try conclusions With the same weapons
Allen denied having struck Mrs. Shippe
and also declined to get whip. Shippe
then invited him out into the middle Of
the street. Allen accepted the invitation
and Shippe dealt Allen two resounding
cracks which could pe heard a long dis
lance away.
After obtaining a suitable apology, Mr..
Shippe demanded that Allen make an
apology to Mrs. Shippe at his first con-
venient opportunity. In case of non
compliance, Shippe threatened another
and much worse horse whipping.
