MRS. RUMBALI'S HEARING
POSTPONED TO JULY 5

Oroville, Calf. June So
Through unreadiness on the part
of both the prosecution and
defense, to proceed, the prelim-
mary hearing of the charges
against Mrs. Rumball and her
brother, Archie Lewis. for the
killing of Helen Rumball. her
stepdaughter, was today post
poned. The hearing will prob
ably be held Monday, July 8.
After a severe sweating the inn
preston is growing among the
authorities that Mrs. Rumball
broke the child's neck in the at
tic of her home by Jerking the
rope after having tied the child
to a rafter and feeling is high
against them.
The prisoners attorney will
probably plead that the girl de-
served punishment but that her
death was purely accidental.

We have seen the subtle stratagems OF

The warriors metaphors all mar

And so, mid the confusion that is gath

On further demonstrations do not

Well Join the peaceful protest and stand

That says, For Heavens sake, let's

We have seen the fierce explosions that
have followed trains OF thought;
We have heard the sounds OF battle
day by day
We have watched the printing presses
with vast ammunition fraught
Like gatling guns play havoc in the

We have heard the fearful meanings
that arise from wounded pride,
As bold opinions clamored for release
And, listening to the tumult that Is
surging far and wide,
We long, ah, yes, we truly long fol

Railroad TAX.

The Connecticut River railroad,
Boston and Maine and therefore New
Haven subsidiary, is given the right to
extend its line on the New Hampshire
side Of the Connecticut river from
Hinsdale to Walpole by a bill that
passed the New Hampshire house last
week Walpole is located dozen
miles or more up from point OPP
posite Brattleboro, ad if the Connecti-
cut river line were extended as far
north as that on the New Hampshire
side it would meet the Cheshire railroad
tracks also under Boston and Maine
control, and so would enable the Con-
necticut River railroad trains to reach
Bellows Falls without using the Yer.
mont Valley line on the Vermont SIDE
from Brattleboro to the Falls Inc
terms of the bill suggest the possibility
that the New Haven interests may sell
the Vermont Valley to the Grand
Trunk, and cling to the New Hamp-
shire side of the river for their own
continuous trackage from the Massa-
chusetts boundary to White River june
ton Springfield Republican.

Twenty-four hours later big snip

pay OF FIREMEN.

A system of graded wages for regular
members of the Barre fire department
ought to go far toward preventing ire
quent designations, inasmuch as con-
tinued service is to be recompensed with
increased payments, Moreover, the
grading of the wages is reasonable, be-
cause fireman with experience is worth
far more than the green hand just add
ed TO the force. The Barre department
has been troubled ever since the regular
department was installed, by the con-
slant shifting of the men, coming ana
going and thus making it necessary TO
train large number during the course
Of the year. This shifting about is
due in large measure to the high stand.
ard of wages in the skilled employments,
the municipality not being able to com
pete with those 'employments in the SIZE
of wages, and, in fact, the service beng
such as not to demand so high COM
pensation as in the skilled trades, But,
1
aside from the element of occasional
danger, the life of the fireman in small
city is a comparatively healthful one
and the trials in it not oyer'severe. In
Barre the men are furnished attractive
living quarters in the central fire sta
! ton on South Main street, and they
are likely to be well cared for in any
new station which may be built. Over
against that, the nature OF the work re-
uuires rather close attention to ones
duties; but TO o1set that, the men
are allowed periodic holidays, which is
more than many occupations allow And
now, with the introduction of a grad
ed scale of wages to fit the length OF
the service, there ought to be another
strong indueement for the men to stay
in the service longer. The city prefers
experienced men and dislikes the con
slant shifting.

A BUSINESS START.

Burlington's new mayor starts his two
years administration without making
any promises as to the accomplishments
to be expected; on the contrary, there
is in Mayor Roberts opening address
note which is calculated to make Bur
lington people think seriously OF their
municipal affairs. Perhaps the most
striking feature of the statement is the
demand for retrenchment along all lines
with an increased tax rate possibility as
club to drive out extravaganza. The
message is such as to assure property
holders in Burlington that their money
will not be spent lavishly, provided May
or Roberts has anything to say about
the expenditures.
