ing room for the first time Monday
night for banquet before their regu-
lar meeting.
At special meeting held last week
Wednesda evening, the Young Mems
Improvement club adopted new by
laws, the change being necessary by
reason of the recent rapid develop
ment of the club along all lines. A
new name for the organization having
been suggested by committee, ap-
pointed for that purpose and for the
amending of bylaws, much time and
oratory was spent in discussion, but
owing to the fact that the name sug-
gested did not seem to meet all re-
quirements and that the attendance on
the meeting was not large, the matter
was left open and another committee
will work on the "new name" PROPOSE
ton and when ready to report, furth-
er action. regarding change of name
will be taken.

Express Messenger Shoots Himself

E. A. Spry, express messenger on
the Sherbrooke- Newport run. shot
himself Wednesday evening, while in
the Express Company's room at the
Sherbrooke union station, inf1icting a
wound from the effects of which he
died at the Sherbrooke hospital Fri
day morning. Spry, who had been on
this run for about four years, was a
bright and very likeable young man
and popular among his friends and
fellow employees, to whom his I'M.
timely death is great shock. Dis
appointment in love affairs is said tc
be the cause of his rash act, for while
naturally of a cheerful disposition,
Spry had been more or less melan-
choly for some time and had stated
that he should make way with him
self, but was not taken seriously. He
was about Is years Of age.

Notes from the County Seat.
LIB. WELLMAN, Local Editor
A Plain Statement of the Telephone
Situation.

The directors of the Vermont Peo-
pies Telephone Company met here
Monday and declared cash dividend of
seventy five per cent or $3.50 per
share payable to the stockholders at
once There remains in the treasury of
the company twelve hundred shares
or thirty thousand dollars (par) of
the stock of the Passumpsic Tele-
phone Company in shares of $25 each
which, owing to the fact that the
shares of the Vermont Peoples Com
pany are in $40 denominations will
necessitate some adjustment before
they can be transferred. There are
also some uncollected as we'll as un-
paid bills that will have to be liqui-
dated before final dividend of cash
or stock can be made. In connection
with this subject it may be of inter-
est to state in distance, although 1T
is already we'll known throughout this
section, that the Peoples Company
on January 1st was transferred to the
Passumpsic company for the sum OF
sixty-two thousand dollars represent
ed by thirty-two Thousand dollars
in cash and thirty thousand dol
lars (par value) of the preferred
stock of the Passumpsic Telephone
Company. In addition to this, the
New England Telephone and Tele-
phone Company agree to purchase, at
par plus any unpaid dividends, at the
rate of six per cent any or all of this
stock that may be offered to it at any
time within six months after the ex-
piraion of five years from January first
1911.
1t is useless to say that this trans
action is of considerable Importance
in the telephone business of this local.
ity, and the officers of both companies
hope that their patrons will suspend
Judgment until such time as they
shall be able to determine for them
selves and from actual experience,
whether or not it will work to their
advantage. We learn that no imme-
date change in rates is contemplated,
but should such change come about it
will be only because of greatly i'm
proved service and after ample notice
is given of the old Peoples subscrib-
ers. The suggestion is, to await the
result of an ernest effort to give to
the people of Orleans county the
best telephone conditions they have
ever enjoyed.

EIGHT HOMES
TO GO UP soon
ON HARDY Street
courages Property Owners to
Improve.

That the location of the Normal
School on Hardy street site is having
an immediate effect, is shown by the
announcement today that contracts for
eight new residences on Hardy street
and adjoining property have already
been let or will be let this month,
and that work on all these new homes
will start at once. OF the contracts
already let, Contractor Evans has Sc
cured the lions share and has bids in
on the majority of the other buildings
In each case where a new home is
to be built the builder has owned the
lot for some time and has only been
awaiting the location of the Normal to
begin work. but with this start there
will be other lot owners to put up
buildings in the immediate future and
there will be a number of realty deals
during the coming months, where citi-
zens have been awaiting the location
of the Normal, to purchase a lot and
put up home.
The accessibility of this Hardy
street property by street car to the
business section of the town, the fact
that it is all high and dry, is close
to the park, and not too distant from
the center of town, is sure to make il
highly desirable, and there will be 6
great deal doing" out there this year
while the building activity is sure t(
have its effect on the general business
of the town. The new contracts be

"CUT RATE. DRUGS
IN SUPREME COURT

Washington. Jan. DO contracts
to prevent "cut rates" in proprietary
medicines violate the Sherman anti
trust law or the common law in re-
straint of trade?
That question was argued today be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States. Upon the decision Of the
court is said, to depend the continual
ton of "cut rates. in proprietary med
icines in the United States. 1t prob
ably will be several weeks before the
court will announce it's decision.
In the brief prepared for the Gin
cinnati druggist, who broke the con
tract, it was argued that the courts
could not insure an unnecessary
monopoly in proprietary medicines.
I. was argued that the manufacturer
was asking for a protection granted
only to patented articles, without sub
scribing to the condition imposed up
on patented articles, namely that they

after few years. Extended argu
ments were presented in the brief u

lBu Associated Press.l

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 5.-The legis-
lative deadlock continues and no bust
ness is being transacted. Indepen-
dent Democrats and Republicans were
in their seats when the house met this
morning, but the regular" Democrats
didn't put in an appearance.
If the deadlock continues, Ben w.
Hooper cannot be sworn in as COVER
nor and Patterson would continue to
serve The factions are as wide apart
as ever
Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 5.-The legis-
lative situation is more precarious
than ever. although conferences now
in progress may result in solution
of the trouble.
The regular" wing of the Demo
Gratis expected to come to the house
yesterday afternoon per agreement
said to have been reached with Speak
er Leach, Fusionist, but at the last
moment they claimed the agreement
had been abrogated by Leach's secre-
tary, and therefore stayed away The
regulars demanded that the contests
against members on their side be
abandoned by Leach, who agreed, but
This followers declined to carry out the
agreement.
The regulars who refused to be
sworn in declare their determination
never to come to the house.
The air is thick with rumors tina
: the regulars will go home unless thei
opponents yield.
The paper is being signed by sena
tors providing for adjournment unit
next summer.
If the threats are carried out Hool
| er cannot be seated as governor an
the situation is considered serious, bu

SEEMS CERTAIN
FOR THE LEAGUE

Columbus will not apply for fran
chise in the Cotton States League atr
the meeting of the board of directors.
to be held in Jackson next Tuesday,
Jan. 10.
Word comes from the town on theI
Tombigbee that it has been found i'm
possible to revive sufficient interest
In professional baseball of the class d,
variety, to justify formation of an as
sociation and application for a fran
chise. Very little hope was entertain
ed by the directors that Columbus
would make application, and the in
formation received is therefore not
disappointing
The most encouraging news during
the past week is from Meridian, as
surance having been given that the
Queen city has no intention whatever
of surrendering her franchise
There is no decided opposition
among the directors to the formation
of an eight-team circuit, providing the
organization can be kept in compact
form, and this renders it probable that
Shreveport and Monroe can get into
the Cotton States League. providing
they are willing to put UP the s1,O0(
forfeit.
NatcheZ, Alexandria and Selma have
been regarded as probable applicants
although no definite information ha.
been received from either of thes'
