Rabies Develop In Quarantine.

The evil effects of the visit paid by a
mad dog to. East Nottingham several
weeks ago, are just beginning to make
themselves felt. On Saturday the
valuable COW belonging to Harry John
son. which had been bitten, went mad
and had to be killed. This animal had
been placed in sttict quarantine and was
being treated with antitoxin in the hopes
of avoiding the disease. Mr.. Johnson
spent $42 in this treatment but it was of
no avail and the animal developed such
unmistakable. signs of being mad that it
was deemed unsafe to keep her any
longer.
A similar fate awaited the calf belong
ing to Miller Gray, which was bitten. 1t
was not certain that the dog had bitten
this calf, but to be on the safe side it was
put under quarantine. On Saturday it
went mad and had to be killed. Two of
the four calves which were bitten for
Charles Carroll were also killed and it is
expected that the other two will follow.
All the other animals are being watched
carefully and at the first sign of madness
will be despatched. 1t is the most serious
catastrophe that has visited East Noting
ham in many yeaE-Oxford News.

NOISY JOY RIDERS
DisgractfuI Scene On Rising Sun
Steeets Last Sunday.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

A disgraceful scene occurred in this
t5wn last Sunday which resulted in one OF
the citizens needing change of climate.
A party of auto joy riders from West
Chester came honking into town during
the morning and loaded in the already
loaded Samuel Little. who was supposed
to conduct barber shop in the Maryland
House. The crowd went to Texas, Oak
Hill or some other booze emporium and
when they returned to Rising Sun all ex-
thoroughly primed. The machine was
stopped in front of the church where the
usual amount of tinkering took place,
accompanied by the honking of the horn.
While at dinner at the Maryland House,
Little and his guests fell out and rough
house took place at the table. In few
moments the swearing, fighting crowd
surged out on the street, some of them in
decided state of negligee A number
of the citizens quickly gathered and sep
arated the combatants. Several minutes
elapsed before the baiiff could be procured
and by the time he appeared with his ar
tillery ready for action the drunken roys-
terers had been quieted and arranged to
leave Immediately to avoid arrest.
A citizens meeting was held on Monday
evening which resulted in the town COM
missioners swearing out q warrant
against Samuel Little, charging him with
drunkenness and disorder and indecent
exposure. Little had left town before the
warrant was issued and word was sent
him that the above, as we'll as more
serious charges would be brought should
he ever return to the town and it is now
believed that Rising Sun has lost Little
and gained much.

Editor, Barre Daily Times,
Dear Sir; Noticing the call issued
BY our honorable mayor for a citizens
meeting, | beg the liberty Of reviewing
through the medium Of your valuable
paper some matters that ought to be Of
paramount Importance to all who believe
in good, efficient service wherever mu-
nicipal employees are empl yed, and who
at the same time favor a square deal
to the employees who perform said serv-
ices Let us briefly review the position
Of our police force relative to their du-
ties, hours of labor and compensation for
the same Our police not only have to
protect the lives and property Of our
citizens, act as school officers, and in the
conviction of the law be prepared to
attend sessions of the court at any hour,
but finally stand considerable abuse at
the hands of the rising generation. As
regards their hours Of labor, it does seem
inconsistent to find in this much doomed

ard OF life and an eight-hour working

Our fire fighters are, relatively speak
ing, in much the same position, with the
possible exception that they do not have
the elements to contend with as much
as our policemen do. Comparing their
duties, hours of labor and wages with
other cities in the state, Barre stands
quite a way behind This, to my mind,
should be remedied. and the men, who
are in sense employed in a deadly and
dangerous occupation, placed on an equal
ization with their brothers, even as in
Montpelier.
Dealing lastly with the men who are
employed in the street and water de-
partments. it is high time that every
intelligent and fair-minded citizen, be he

intoxicated with confidence gained
through defeating the present governor
of Massachusetts, in the recent election,
Eugene n. Foss makes a bold move
toward BUSTING his political enemy -per-
sonal and impersonal Henry Cabot
Lodge. The move takes the form Of a
published demand that Senator Lodge
retire from candidacy for reelection BY
the Massachusetts legislature, and is de-
liyered with characteristic bluntness.
Compared with Congressman Ames' sim,
liar demand, it is like a sledge- hammer
compared With tack driver. Yet pow.
erful as it is, the public will nevertheless
read between the lines certain personal
animus from Foss to Lodge, because Of
the attack which the senator made on
Foss during q speech in a Republican
state convention not very long ago. Thus
the Foss appeal--nay, demand will lose
a little of its effectiveness; but 1t GER
tainly contributes something to that
growing feeling of unrest, which is bound
to turn out Lodge sooner or later, if not
at the present.

of pellets. The less disastrous effect Of
charge of scattered shot on the human
anatomy is no different than it would
be in the case Of the deer The result
will be that wounded deer win have
their sufferings prolonged unnecessarily.
They will run to the thickets till exhaus.
tion caused by the wounds will lay them
low and their suiferings will continue,
unstopped by the merciful knife Of the
hunter, because the hunter is not able
to follow them over long course. Thus,
while protecting hunters from the more
disastrous consequences Of their own
carelessness, the law opens the way toyery
greatly increased cruelty to the hunted
animals
And, after all, it is a question if
hunters are not more in danger of being
Init by charges from shotgun than
from the rifle, The scattering power Of
the shotgun causes the pellets to fly
over a much wider range than the single
straight course Of the rife bullet, and
the marrow escapes" which one reads
about in rifle hunting would very likely
be turned into real accidents, were a
shotgun the weapon used. Therefore,
while less liable to destroy life, the use
Of the shotgun multiplies the chances
for injuries and the consequences Of
them and so there is not so much gained
for human beings in the woods after all,
while at the same time it is an inhuman

lawmakers Of that state have overlooked
entirely the regard for the suffering OF
the animals which are being hunted,
They have forbidden the use of rifles
in hunting deer, reasoning that in case
a hunter should happen to be hit BY a
charge OF shot 1t would be less disastrous
than a single rife bullet and that, though
terribly laeerated, the victim might live,
