COUNTY COURT TOMORROW
December Term viii Open With
Judge F.. M. Butler Presiding

The December term of county court
will open here tomorrow with Judge
Fred NJ. Butler of Rutland presiding
and Hons. Norman NJ Madison of
Glastonbury and C. B. Kent of Dorset
presiding.
The attorneys are generally of the
opinion that the term will not be a
long one. There are 16 cases set for
trial, some of which are likely. to be
postponed.
Since the docket was published
there have been three more divorce
cases filed, making the total number
81.
OF the six state cases on the dock
ct ii is probable that only one, the
murder case of state against Michele
Phileppo, will come to trial. 1t is
likely that Andrew Whitcomb of
Searsburg will be tried for assault
upon Elliot Bishop of the same town
and there is the case brought by
County Game Warden Harry Chase
against a resident of Rupert for
shooting a spotted fawn.
Sheriff Fred Godfrey and Mrs.
Godfrey have been busy during the
past few days putting the court
house building in as presentable con-
condition as possible. Upon their last
visit here the assistant judges order
ed some new chairs for themselves
and other officers of the court but
fney have not yet arrived.

Committee Leaves Buffalo Will
Authority to Further Complicate
Railway Situation

Buffalo, n. Y, Dec. 6.-Authority to
call a strike of all union switchmen
! between Buffalo and Chicago, il such
| a course is deemed necessary, is vest
/ ed in a committee of the union which
left here for Chicago today to negoti-
ate with the general managers of the
nineteen railroads for a settlement OF
certain demands.
A referendum vote to secure the
sentiment of the organization and to
give their committee a free hand was
taken some time ago, according to
Grand Vice President Burt, who is in
charge of the Buffalo district during
the absence of President Hawley in
the northwest to- superintend the
strike in that territory.
The district east of Chicago in
cudes not only Toledo, Fort Wayne,
| Detroit and other important centers,
but also takes in points as far south
as Pittsburg, so that the ranks of the
strikers will be increased by between
1000 and $4,000 men il the negotia-
tons at Chicago fail.
The demands to be submitted at Chi
cago will be for an increase In wages
of six cents an hour, time and half
for overtime exceeding a ten hour
day, double time for Sundays and hol-
idays, and modification of the ply
seal test. Notice of these demands
was sent to the general managers of
the lines in the Chicago-Buffalo dis
trict on November 6, so that the 80
days limit in which reply must be
made expires today.
St Paul, Dec Cold and snow
are now delaying freight traffic on
the Northern Pacific and some parts
of the Great Northern railroads more
than the stricke of switchmen, ac-
cording to statements issued by the
general managers of these roads
General Manager Slade OF the Nor
thern Pacific declared that freight is
more or less tied up all along the sys-
TEN by the snow, especially in North
ern Minnesota and North Dakota.
Passenger trains are from one to
four hours late in st. Paul tonight.
The Northern Pacific has now all the
switchmen needed here and new ar
rivals are sent West.

TO KILL DANDEL1oNs.

In commenting on the dandelion
nuisance short time ago. we recon-
mended gasoline as a remedy which
has been tried and found effective by
many people. Cut the dandelion top
at the surface of the ground and
pour little gasoline on the exposed
top of the root, being careful not to
get it on the grass. which otherwise
would share the fate of the dande-
lion. This kills the plant.
Here is another remedy which is
said to have been tried with good re-
suits at the State Agricultural Col
lege. Dissolve sulphate of iron in
water in the proportion of two
pounds to the gallon and apply with
a hand spray. This is said to kill the
dandelions without injuring the
grass. and to possess the added ad-
vantage of requiring very little labor
The best time to use it is on bright,
clear day when there is no prospect
of rain. as water washes off the, solu-
tion and lessons its effectiveness
