A Unique Base Bali Club.

What is this report that comes

The reason why Bennington is able
to run a baseball team and finish a
season with money in the treasury
and a general feeling of satisfaction
instead Of winding up with a lot Of
debts and consequent epidemic Of
sore Uranium is that the men who
manage the affairs of the association
realize the limitations. Communi-
ties of 5000 people are not large
enough to support baseball teams Of
the. National league class, The
dumb communities referred to by
the Journal have tried It and proved
the truth of it, but strange as It may
seem, they appear to want to keep on
proving 1t.
Down here In Bennington, which is
by the way busy community, we
realize that It is possible to maintain
a good baseball team with a game on
the Saturday half holiday that pre-
walls during the summer. The team
last season was composed of unusual
ly good players, many of them eastern
college men, and with the pleasant
weather that prevailed 1t was possible
to put on game every week. The as
ISOLATION not only ran a team but Il
built a grandstand and laid out new

Wednesday evening, when plans TO

ASK YOURSELF
THIS QUESTION

How can people with kidney trouble
expect to get well on the ordinary pat
ent medicines when the census deaths
from kidney disease show that 80 out
of every 100 of them die from a form
of kidney trouble that till very recent
ly was incurable.
There were $4,000 deaths the last
census year from this form of kidney
trouble, and it is so prevalent that the
famous DR., Loomis of Bellevue hospi-
tai declared that his autopsies show
that nine-tenths OF all people over for
ty have it. If you have kidney trouble
make no mistake-start right. The
late treatment is new in this tremen-
dously important particular-it is the
first thing ever discovered that is eff
fective AFTER the disease has fasten-
ed as well as before-the first to cure
in the chronic fatal stages.
We sent for this for people here 1t
is the only thing in the world that
cites no cases except in the supposed
incurable forms. We will give you
full information.

HAPGOOD TRIES TO
PHOTOGRAPH
OFFICIALS
Balls Shrewsbury Woman From
House Of Correction.
INVESTIGATES HER CASE
Woman Claims TO Be the Mother Of
10 Children Born During
"a Years.

NJ. J. Hapgood of Peru appeared
before Assistant Judge H. NJ. Red
field of Hubbardton at the house of
correction in Rutland Thursday morn
ing and offered himself as bail for
Mrs. Addie Crossman OF Shrewsbury,
who was being held for county court
on the charge Of breach Of the peace
by way of assault on P. G. Lord, over
seer OF the poor for the town OF
Shrewsbury. Mrs. Crossman was re
leased, and early in the afternoon Mr.
Hapgood hired a rig and drove with
her to Shrewsbury. accompanied by
Attorney w. H. Botsford and two
newspaper men. Mrs. Crossman
wore fur coat which Mr.. Hapgood
rented for her.
While in Rutland Mr. Hapgood Sc
cured a camera and took It over to
the house OF correction with the in
tention of taking Mrs. Crossman's pic
ture. but the prison officials refus-
ed to let him take any photographs
in the institution. He also tried TO
get snap shots of States Attorney
| J. c. Jones and B. H. Stickney. the
Justice who bound Mrs. Crossman
over. but they both succeeded in
lodging him successfully. He took
the camera along on the trip to
Shrewsbury and declared that he
would get a picture of that man Lord.
Mr.. Hapgood had talk with Mrs.
Crossman at the house of eorrec.
ton before he signed her bail bond.
She told him that it was true that she
was the mother of 10 children and
that 10 of them were living. She
said all the childen were born in the
space of "a years.
THAT is a state record, l believe,
said Mr.. Hapgood afterward. 1--WE
ought to bow to that woman-take
of our hats TO her-lnstead OF put
ting her in jail. This thing has be
come a state matter and it will not
be dropped here. I am particular
ly anxious to see that man Lord. He
must be a weakling If he could not
defend himself against woman ant
the mother Of 10 children at that"
Mr.. Hapgoods principal reason fol
going to Shrewsbury was TO get
hrst.hand knowledge OF the whole
case. The states attorney expressed
the belief that he would find on
some things that would cause hin
TO lose a little of his enthusiasm.

The Courthouse Question.

The question whether the voters
of Bennington and the nearby sur
rounding towns vote for new county
buildings for this shire next week
Tuesday is simply and solely one of
public spirit. Il is a question whether
we want to so backward or forward
and it is up to the voters to say.
Bennington is the best located
town in Vermont, from its nearness
to markets and sources of supply of
raw material for manufacturing pur-
poses. We have unlimited water
power in the mountains around here,
mostly undeveloped and going to
waste. Bennington and the nearby
towns have the only iron mines, so
far as We know, in the state of Yer
mont They were once prosperous,
but are now deserted. We have all
the natural advantages that any sec
ton of the state has and many that
they haven't.
Yet in the past seyenty-fve years
Bennington has made slower growth
than any other of the larger towns in
the state and property has increased
less in value. The principal reason
for this slow progress in material
prosperity has been lack of public
spirit and push. The knockers club
here has too many members. They
injure themselves and they injure
their town and county and still keep
right on kicking,
They are the same who when a
young man goes into business wag
their heads and predict failure.
They are the ones who magnify evil
reports and go around telling things
to injure their neighbors and towns
men. They oppose public improve
ment because it will cost a few cents
or a few dollars in taxes, never seem
ing to fealize that everything for the
betterment of the town makes proper
ty here and in the neighboring towns
more valuable and this section of the
state more prosperous.
Some of these knockers are busy
talking against the new courthouse
They will give you various reasons
but never the true one The rea
reason is that they are so lacking in
public spirit that they are not willing
to pay the small increase in taxes foi
the good of their town and count!
though they waste more money every
week than it will cost them. TIL,
extra tax to a man who pays only {
poll.tax is but ten cents a year ant
there are very few whom 1t will cos
over a dollar and those few are vel
able to pay.
Whether the county gets the new
courthouse and Jail or not, we ar,
glad the question is coming before tn,
voters of the county. 1t will show u
how many knockers we have in Ben
, nington and vicinity. We don't eX
pect the people in the northern par
of the county are going TO look at
as we do. They are not so much in
terested But the people of Shafts
t bury Pownal and Woodford are JUS
as much concerned as the people 0
Bennington and also in a less degre
/ are the people of Arlington. Sandgatt
Glastonbury, Searsburg, Readsbor
and Stamford. We are going forwar
or backward and it is for the voter
to say which.

Pierre, March Ia Prairie chick
ems cannot be hunted, legally, in
South Dakota until the fall of 1911.
Facing the problem Of saving from
extinction the beautiful pinnared
grouse, the South Dakota legisla-
ture has passed a new game law
|embodying this provision.
Other leading feature Of the new
law are as follows:
Makes the open season for geese,
ducks, and all aquatic fowl from
September 10 in the fall to April
10 in the spring
Raises the limit on ducks from
is birds to 90 in one day.
Makes shooting between dark
and daylight unlawful.
Creates the office of state game
warden with a salary Of 81, 500 per
year. This officer must give a
bond of 81, 900 and is invested with
the power to appoint county game
wardens with salaries not to ex-
coed $50 per month. The county
wardens must each give bond of
81, 900 for the faithful performance
of duty.
A tax of 81 is imposed on each.

lis made a crime.
The county game wal dens may
pay a reward Of $40 for information
leading to conviction. &
No emergency clause is attached,
and the bill will not be law until.
July / Of the coming year. It will
be in effect the coming fall, and
therefore the hunting season will
not open until Sept 40, and 1T will
be lawful to shoot only ducks, or
other water fowl.
RI The measure is a compromise on
spring shooting. It allows shoot.
ling Of ducks until April 10, cut-l
ting off twenty days Of the open;
season as it now exists. This will
mot be in effect this spring.
The use Of dogs is hit hard by
the law. 1t provides that no per-
son shall use dog or dogs in pur-
suing, catching, killing, etc, any
| Of the game birds or animals mem
toned in the act. As practically
every game bird and animal iii the
state is mentio ned, the dogs will be
lrelegated to use as household pets.

lhibiting the running Of pointer or
setter dogs upon lands frequented
by game birds during the months
