There seems to be a prospect Of an
epidemic OF smallpox in this town. The
disease first appeared in the family of
Arthur Yeaw I'm South hollow; next in
Mrs Walter Bullock's family. Some of
the children went to school and this week
the teacher, Miss Butler, who boarded at
Merton Thomass, became III with the
disease and the latest patient is little
Mary Baker who is at the home Of her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman Hunt
ley. Miss Butler who is from Montpelier,
is quarantined with a nurse in a vacant
house on the Thomas farm Mr.. Hunt

Montpelier, Jan. 20.

Montpelier, Jan. 20.
With no fear before them of being
called a salary grab legislature the House
Tuesday afternoon voted to raise the
compensation of this and subsequent
legislatures to "a a day. 1t voted down
the Senate proposition to pay a lump sum
of $3.50 some time ago. But the session
has lasted so long that some members
felt that they had sacrificed more than
was required of them and that they
should be compensated for what they
had thus lost.
The bill was reported from the COM
mittee on state and court expenses by
Mr.. Barber of Brattleboro, in response
to some urgent requests In speaking of
tile measure Mr.. Barber said that he
believed the present compensation of So
a day was insufficient, but that person.
ally he would much prefer that the in
crease proposed should not apply to this
legislature.
Mr.. Adams Of Marlboro, who is one of
the older members and has served several
terms before, spoke strongly against the
measure. He said he was utterly op-
posed to this legislature voting money
into its own pockets, and that If this bill
should become a law he would allow his
share Of the grab to remain in the treas
ury.
The fact that salaries have been
raised quite generally at this session
had much weight with the members. It
was also urged that 1t was generally ad-
mitted that the pay OF members was too
small, but legisla lures were not usually
willing to add to the pay OF those to fol-
low them, so that the only way to Sc
cure the desired reform was for the mem
bers to vote to raise their own pay. The
proposal was strongly opposed and a roll
call was demanded, but the fact that
they were to go on record did not deter
a majority from voting for the bill.
The committee on final adjournment re-
ported Tuesday afternoon, with a reso-
luton setting Saturday morning at s
O'Clock as the time for dissolution. The
House adopted the resolution, though
many members and some OF the commit
tee did not believe It possible to take
adjournment at that time. The Senate
did not believe in It and tabled the reso-
luton to await developments, as II had
previously tabled the Joint resolution for
bidding the introduction Of any bills after

HE DIDN'T INVEST.
Marshall County Farmer Had Exper-
ence With Council Bluffs Gang.

"rhat story you printed Monday
| about the big gang OF four-hushers at
Council Bluffs was particularly inter-
esting reading for me- said one of the
| leading farmers and stock feeders of
Marshall county to Times-Repub!i-
| can man on the street this morning.
The fact isl he continued, II came
pretty close to getting in. or being
taken In on their little game myself a
1 few months ago. One of their men, as
| slick as an eel rolled in oil. casually
| struck up an acquaintance with me one
day, while In Marshalltown. and / be-
came 50 much interested in his glow
ing proposition that in a day or two
was induced to accompany him to
Council Bluffs, my purpose being to
invest extensively in a large real es-
tate transaction if the thing looked as
good to me at that end of the line as
it Gid at this. IT'S a long story in liz
details. but I'll try to give you an out
line of the main points.
Il was informed by the fellow from
the Bluff City that a certain man had
some time ago purchased a very large
tract of land in Tennessee. at 50 an acre.
He had sent his only son down there
to look after the property. but the
young man contracteda fever while IN
the south and died shortly afterward.
The sorrowing father never wanted to
see the land after that and determined
to sell 1t at the first opportunity. We
can buy it for the price he paid for 1T
was the confidential information my
new acquaintance from Council Bluffs
tickled my speculative tendencies with,
and we can sell 1t within q week for
at least $40 an acre he further as
sured me as cincher. He told me he
hadn't enough available capital TO
swing the deal himself. but thought
he could put up half the amount, and
/ got nearly ready TO furnish the other
half, but after got out there,
met the man who had the land 20
sell and did little quiet investigat-
ing, I decided that I wouldn't bite. If
l had, those fellows would have been
richer by $4,000 of my money. I'm glad
the authorities have tumbled to the
graft and have got at least one of the
Williams in the laws clutches 1t is the
biggest swindling enterprise I think
that has ever been carried on in this
state"

The commission recommends that
