Dedication of Stannard Memorial in
Georgia.
The dedication of the state monu-
ment to General George j. Stannard
in Georgia took place Oct. IL, in the
presence of large gathering of peo-
pie, the exercises being held in city
of ST. Adams on account of the rain.
The erection of this monument was
authorized bytheVermont legislature of
1906 when the sum of $1,000, was appro-
priated for the purpose OF purchasing
a piece of land in the town of Georgia
not more than six rods square, of the
farm where the late George j. Stan
ment or marker to be placed thereon
to commemorate and perpetuate the
conspicuous gallantry and heroism of
the late George J. Stannard during the
War of the Rebellion, and more es-
pecially his gallantry and heroism
upon the bloody field of Gettysburg'
The final cost of the monument with
land on which it stands and the fence
enclosing it was $1,4O0, the ad
ditional $400 being appropriated by
the town of Georgia. 1t stands on
land next to and On the east side of the
highway leading from st. Adams to
Georgia. The house where Gen. STAN
nard was born is still standing at a
point about 20 rods south of the mar
ker.
Another Wallingford Murder.
A revolving murder, paralleling that
of Della Copgdon by Elroy Kent
earlier in the year, was committed
Oct. 9, about mile outside Walling-
ford village, the victim being Miss
Mary Jane Johnson, about s. years
old, who lived alone. Miss Johnson
was in the habit Of going each morning
to the home of Calvin Higgins. a
neighbor, for milk. Her failing to
appear at the customary hour Sunday
morning caused Mrs. Higgins to inves-
tigate. She found Miss Johnson
lying beside a couch in her living
room, partially dressed. Sitting
about her body were ID cats, her only
companions in life. She had appar.
emily been choked to death. 1t is
probable that criminal assault was
committed, and an autopsy was hello
to determine this point and the cause Of
death. States Attorney J. G. Jones
and Deputy Sheriff E. S. Whitaker Of
Rutland have gone over every phase
of the case. Several men have beer
before them for a searching examina
tion, but only one was held. Robert
Eddy is in Jail. It is said that he wa:
seen near the Johnson house at late
hour that night. His reputation is
not of the best and he has been in jai
On several occasions. Miss Johnson hao
for several years led secluded exis
tence. She was known to have no enc
mics or to possess anything of value
which might lead to robbery. TIL,
general opinion pervails that the muir
der is the work of degenerate.

EXPRESS RATES.


Now that the law passed by the
last legislature of Nebraska, making
a fiat rate reduction of rs per cent,
on all charges of express companies,
has been sustained by the United
States Supreme court. other states
will doubtless make attempts to have
a like law placed upon their statute
books. The courts decision upheld
the law in every detail Landmark.
Before the Legislature of Vermont
touches any law relating to express
companies it should either gain per-
mission from those who control this
monopoly or be sure that the state
has the power to enforce its regula-
tions. The controlling express COM
pany has for years treated Vermont
laws with contempt. On one occasion
few years since the express manage
ment added one cent to each local
package, evidently for the double pur-
pose of showing resentment at being
interfered with and to make the peo-
pie pay for a slight advance in its tax
rate, which has always been and is
now the lowest of any corporation in
the state. 1t is about time that Yer
mont took hold of this express monop.
oily and regulated it in the interests of
the people, which would include rea-
sonable taxation and fair local rates.
Mortified News.
Present express rates in this state,
especially as the Monitor knows them
in this section, appear extremely hlgh
and the patronizing public should
have relief. If the Monitor is not mis-
taken the public service commission
has sufficient power to remedy mat
ters to an extent at any rate. We
have been informed that the rate IN
New Hampshire has recently been
lowered by the public service commits
sion of that state and, as one man in a
position to know expressed it not long
ago, 1.-THE people of this section are
to blame for the exorbitant rates they
are paying. A proper petition to the
public service commission would bring
relief. When New Hampshire rates
went down, rates here went up"
The Monitor believes this true.
The express companies, who control
the business of this state are charging
all they possibly can and have the PEG,
pie stand it. We hear there is is cent
rate in New Hampshire now. but the
rate in this vicinity was raised long
ago from the Is cent rate to 25 cent
minimum charge, and within few
months the minimum package that
coud be sent for % cents has been GU
from 80 Co pounds, and the hundred
rate raised from DO to so cents. The
Monitor believes this is injustice. Is
there any reason why the same com
pany, over the same railroad and or
the same trains should charge % cents
or more in this state and but Is cent:
in New Hampshire for the same bun
die carried the same distance? Was
there good reason for the recent enor
nous cut in the minimum weight Of
bundles? Just as long as the people
here are willing to pay from Is per tt
so per cent more for their expires!
traffic than other states pay, just 81
long will the company stand ready tt
accept it.
We believe the public should and wi
have relief.

Fussing AbOu Taxts

MUr'reesboro, Sept. 2S.-"Taxes
 r1 too high" seems to be the general sentiment aming the tax ization the taxable property has been raised in Pike county in many instances to nearly double what lstances to nearly doub.e waht it was formerly. Here is the way q prominent tax payer eX- pressed himself in regard to the matter;
 "The rate of taxation in Pike county thirteen years ago was S1.5O on the hundred. Over S2,- 0D per year was collected in that way. Every year since the taxa tion has increased until it is now S2.2O per hundred. On this basls the county Was charged with $40 GOO last year or more than three time what it was thirteen years ago.

Some Old Books .

Stuttgart. Sept. 2S.- The Rev. Martin Buerke has what is prob aD y the odest set of books in the state and some that Would be hard to duplicate anywhere. One of the most valuable is the comment7 aryI on the bible written by Vitus Dietrick, a pupil Of Martin Luther, in 15O1. It was published by Geo. Taben, Sigmund Farabend, and Weygend Hammer at Frankfort on the Main. Primitive methods may have been used by the Germans who printed it but they obtained 'asting results as the type is more ,egib,e today than that of many newspapers and recent books.
 Another interesting vou,mn is in the possession of Rev. MT. Buer7 k'e is an account of a famous de- bate on religion made in 1850 by Andrias Osiander and Phillipi Mel antho. The book has a wood and
 eather binding that is almost in tact. Still another old book is the family bible that was printed in 1864. It was an heirloom in a fami.yy named KelQerman who came to this country many years ago. At the death of the last known heir to the book it was given to Rev. Mir. Buerk.e.
