With conditions such that 1t Is fire.
quently necessary to reach under

approach a stream and put on a half
ounce of lead to induce ones line to

SIMPLE of what abnormally early trout
fishing means In Vermont.-Rutland
News.
This from Rutland county? From
the place where. we have been repeat
eddy told, trout can be taken in large
numbers and with ease "in the early
spring when the streams are high
and the fish are ravenously hungry"
There must be some mistake. Sports
men in this part OF the state have
been led to believe that Rutland coun-
tvs opposition to an early open sea
son was due to fear that the supply
of trout would be exhausted in the
first few weeks. Can 1t be that facts
have proven this fear groundless?
And that the real reason for wanting
the season closed until May 10 is a
desire to pillage the streams in the
few days following that date? And
what about State Fish and Game
Commissioner Titcombs prophecy
that the change In the season will
result in the taking of a large number
of trout In April when they are thin
and hungry and come out of the water
like stlcks?"
The fact is that the early open trout
season is working just as Windham
and Bennington county anglers knew
that 1t would Nowhere in the state
are conditions right for fishing yet.
Streams are high, roilly and cold and
the enthusiastic fishermen who have
visited them have gotten little more
than their trouble for their pains. But
the trout are still aliye-even those
unusual specimens that are said to be
SO easily caught at this time Of year
and 1t is safe to say that many more
of them will live to replenish the
brooks and rivers of the state than
would be the case If they were PRO
tected" until the middle OF next

tails OF such elections In order that
there shall be uniformity OF elections
among all the states, but the chan
ces are considered even that the res
olution will be adopted as 1t came
from the House. The same amend
ment prevailed last winter by a small
majority, but the changes in the sen.
ate may defeat 1t this time.
Representative Foster is In favor
OF the change In senatorial elections,
and the resolution may find favor
elsewhere In the Vermont delegation.
In any event, II is conceded that the
change is bound TO come. There are
many members OF both houses who
consider II the opening wedge to the
eventual abolition OF the senate, and
also that this drastic action Is liable
to be preceded by the election OF SEN
ators on the basis of representation.
If this latter possibility should ma
terlalize, Vermont might lose It's SEN
ators entirely long before the body
was finally abolished. Although con-
| tingencies may be considered the nat
ural result Of the present agitation
on the subject, yet they are too re-
mote TO be discussed at length.
The reciprocity bill is going through
the House as | write, and by con-
siderable majority. However, its OPP
ponents have made hot fight against
1t and the adverse vote will be of res
pectable size. Representatives Eos
ter and Plumley voted against it, in
accordance with the stand taken by
them last winter, and Mr. Foster was
accorded half hour of the debate in
which to state the reasons for his OPP
position. This measure will be fol-
lowed in the House, If the program
is followed, by the free trade bill.
This will incite more protracted
discussion, and may be considerably
amended before the final vote is Ia
ken. Nevertheless, 1t will go through
In some form.
Because of his inability to secure
steamship accommodations Mr.. Fos-
ter was compelled to relinquish his
intention of going to Rome via the
Hamburg Mediterranean line to Ma.
pies. and will sail on the Mauretania
of the Cunard line for Liverpool on
May 3rd From London he will pro
coed overland to Rome, but has not
yet determined on his route back

FOUND RUNAWAY WIFE
Husband Had Surprise as He Was
Posting Letter to His Home

Posting Letter to His Home
St Adams, April 24.-Another case
Of domestic infeliclty came to light
here Friday, when Mrs. Eli Faufaw OF
Farnham, Que, who with her two
daughters, aged six and two years,
had eloped Wednesday with Henry
Mayott, were discovered here by the
injured husband, who had no knowl-
edge of the state of affairs.
Faufaw's story is that he was out
of work and left home Wednesday
morning, with everything seemingly
in the usual condition at home, and
struck out for Montreal in search of
employment. He met with no success
so he came on here, and the first
thing he did was to write a hopeful
letter to his wife, which he took to
the postoffice and mailed.
AS he came out of the building he
could hardly believe his eyes when
he saw his wife and children across
the street. He surprised his wife by
approaching her from the rear, and in
response to his inquiry as to what she
was doing here, the astonished wom-
dNs ni1CA OAC GOuAu ulu
told him in stumbling words that she
had got tired of him and home and
had run away with one Henry May
oft, with whom she was going to live.
Just at this moment Faufaw spied
Mayott and rushing over to him de-
manded to know what he was doing
here with his wife? Mayott was mum
Der three in the group of surprises,
and when he got his wits together,
he blamed 1t all on the woman, say
ing that she had leased him to run
way with her, and being a perfect
gentleman he had done so, rather
than disappoint the lady.
The injured husband at this point
was ready to fight and after a few
Threatening remarks, Mayott felt the
call of the wild and beat it for the
freight yards. The last seen of him
he was nimbly lodging around in the
wilderness of cars,
Faufaw took his wife and children
to the Jail where he made complaint
against Mayott, and although officers
and thorough search made here, he
has not been apprehended.
Faufaw gives his wife a clean bill
and says that up to this episode she
has been all that wife and mother
should be. His wife told him that
Mayott had drugged her and that was
why she had run away with him.
Mayott 1t appears had tired of be
ing a husband pro TEN and foster
father, for he told the poor woman
Saturday morning that he was
broke" and would have to try anC
get enough money to send her anC
the children back home. Faufaw i:
a native of Richford and went there
Friday night with his family where
he hopes to find work. He was very
sorry for his wife and had forgiven
her and now only wants the chance
to punch the head off Mayott.

Under the direct primary system,
the nomination of candidates for pub

Under proportional representation
(Which awaits an enabling act) the

The corrupt-practices act, among
other provisions, limits each candid

DoRMIToRIEs AND HOSPITAL
viii Be Erected at State Industrial
School and Work is to Begin Soon

Vergennes, April 24.-At a meeting
of the State Board of Penal Institu-
tons in this city last week it was
decided in accordance with a law en-
acted by the last legislature to build
two good sized dormitories for the
State Industrial school and It is ex-
pected the appropriation will be suf-
ficient for the erection of hospital.
The plans for these buildings are
virtually accepted and it is expected
that work will begin soon. Superin-
tendent j. N. Barss is of the opinion
that the boys of the institution can
be employed largely in the work of
construction and that nearly $4,000 can
be saved in this way. There are 1877
boys in the Industrial school and they
can be employed at getting out stone,
digging cellars and to some extent in
the actual work of constructing the
building.
