COURT STILL IN SESSION.
Judge Miles Hearing Considerable
Business in Caledonia County
COurf

Despite the fact no jury was call
ed for the December term of Caledo-
mia county court there has been a
large amount of business before it
and it is still in session. No attor-
neys from out of town have been be-
fore the court this week and it is
probable the business will soon be
completed. Considerable time was
spent in hearing a plea for temper
ary alimony in the divorce case of
Dora Douglass VS.. William Doug
lass and Judge Miles ordered that
Mrs. Douglass be paid $50 for the
purchase of clothing, $50 suit money
and So a week for board.
An unexpected case came before
the court yesterday afternoon. Ellen
Crawford, who gives her age as II,
ran away from home in Littleton
and came to ST. Johnsbury to work.
Her parents found out that she was

POLITICAL NOTES.
More Candidates for Nomination for
Republican Offices,

More Candidates for Nomination for
Republican Offices.
The publication of the article in
The Ca1edonian last week on county
politics has brought some more
names to the surface that were not
known at the time the other list was
published.
L. A. Darling of East Burke will
be a candidate for the county SEN
atorship. This makes two candi-
dates from the town Of Burke and
that community, like st. Johnsbury,
will have something of contest on
it's hands.
It is also understood that w. H.
Jeffrey of East Burke would not re-
fuse nomination for the second as
sistant judgeship. 1t should be
stated that Judge Page OF Groton
does not seek a reelection to the po-
sition, he having had it for four
years, the usual term, and he will
not ask for it longer. But he has
friends who thought he might be
the best man available. Judge Page
would prefer to be senator rather
elected as judge.
Little has been heard of the dem
ocratfc plans but A. H. Gleason of
this village will be a candidate for
delegate at large from Vermont to
the national democratic convention.
It is probable that James Burke of
Rutland will also be a candidate for
one of the delegates.

VILLAGE BUSINESS
Net Expenses Of the Departments
Slightly above the Previous
Year--Caucus Day

The accounts of the village Off
GERS have been audited and the re-
ports are in the hands of the printer.
They will be printed ready for dis
tribution at the village caucus to be
held at the Town Hall Friday even
ing of this week.
At the present time there seems
little prospect of contest at the
caucus and that the present board
of trustees will be reelected. They
are willing to serve another year if
the voters desire but will not make
any active canvass for the place.
Several other names have been men
toned but none of the men were
willing to enter into a contest with
the present board.

KILLED BY FALLING TREE.
Orrin Morrill, Met Instant Death in
Barnet Yesterday.

Orrin Morrill, met instant death
on Tuesday morning while chopping
wood on the mountain between Bar
net and East Barnet. A tree he was
cutting down fell upon him, across
the small of his back. He was with
his son-in-law and when found it
was not known for a time
whether he was dead or unconscious.
Physicians and authorities we're
sent for and it is thought
that death was instantaneous.
Morrill, was between 55 and
so years old and leaves wife and
two sons and a daughter. He and
his wife had not been living togeth-
er for some time and he had made
his home with his sister, Mrs. George
Henry at Barnet.

HOME FROM RUSSIA
P. F. Hazen Says Americans Have
Wrong Idea of Conditions in
That Country.

| Mr.. and Mrs. Perley F. Hazen re.
turned Friday morning after three
months trip abroad. During this
time they were in ten countries
England, France, Austria, Germany,
Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, Finland and Russia. The lat
ter was the principal objective point
and about one month was spent in
Moscow st. Petersburg and Warsaw
The passage over was in the big
ship, Olympia, on her last trip be-
fore she was rammed by the gun
boat Hawke, and was delightful in
every respect The return passage
on the Kronprinz Wilhelm was very
rough, so much so, that three life
boats were stove in, the wireless
torn down and portions of the rail-
ing swept away.
In answer to the question as to his
impression of American business
abroad, Mr.. HaZen replied, that it
was a real satisfaction to find so
many well known enterprising Amer
lean concerns well represented in
practically every country he visited.
The Singer Sewing Machine company
for instance, has fine stores in near
ly every large city and their adver-
tising signs are to be seen at rail-
road stations everywhere even in
remote districts in Finland. The Otis
Elevator company, American Har-
vester Co., and similar large con-
Germs, are pushing the marketing of
their products in all European coun-
tries, including Russia. But Ameri-
cans are not the only ones who are
getting into Russia. A great deal
of English capital is going into the
country in the development of the
mining industries in the Ura1 noun
tains, and the hotels were crowded
with English business men who
were looking up prospects.
Mr.. Hazen noticed that much of
the best plumbing in the hotels was
of English manufacture, and Eng
lish good of all kinds were to be
found throughout the Empire.
Germany also has good foot
hold in Russia, especially in mechan-
ical goods.
When asked what interesting facts
he could mention about Russia, Mr..
Hazen replied that the average Am
about that country. The passport
system is a great bugbear which en-
tire1y disappears when the traveller
reaches Russia. Instead of being an
annoyance it is in a way a protec-
ton, and one moves about as freely
and meets with as courteous treat
ment in Russia, as in any country in
If one should lose his pass
part he probably would be in seri-
Gus trouble for a time, but otherwise
he need have no fears.

NO SMALLPOX HERE
Situation Outside Improving AL
though Some New Cases Have
Appeared within the Week

The small pox situation in Gale
donia county is really more favor
able than a week ago but the un-
founded rumors are more plentiful
than ever. The report has got cir
culated in Boston and New York
that there is small pox epidemic
in st. Johnsbury. Stories have also
been in circulation at home that one
or two cases have been discovered
here. Health Officer Hartman is
authority for the statement that
there is not and has not been a
single case in this town He is very
vigilant and has asked one man who
came from a place where it is
somewhat prevalent, who had come
here to work to return home. The
man did so and that is all the basis
there is for the rumors.
Another rumor in circulation is
that one or two girls have been sent
home from the Academy just as
they were coming down with small
pox and the whole school exposed.
This is not correct. When the small
pox appeared in Lyndon Principal
Benedict asked all pupils attending
the Academy from that section to
remain at home until he could find
out whether they had been associat-
ed with any of the people who were
sick. He investigated and found they
had not been exposed in any way
and told them they could resume at
tendance. They came back and he
found that Miss Campion had been
associated with some of the people
then sick and she remained at home.
haan
with small pox. Another young lady
who had been associated with Miss
Campion came and asked Prin. Ben
edict if he thought it advisable for
her to continue attendance at school
and he told her he did not. She is
remaining at home but is not sick.
So it will be seen there has been no
exposure of Academy pupils and
they are in no more danger than
other people.
There is a case of small pox in
McIndoes and that is the only new
territory where it has appeared. A
Frenchman came to a family there
from a lumber camp. He arrived in
the evening and the next forenoon
the health officer quarantined him
as suspect. He was taken sick and
the state authorities have pronounc-
ed it small pox. There seems very
little chance that it will get outside
the family.
At Lyndon Corner the disease has
appeared in two new families and
there are II cases in all in that
town but it has not spread beyond
the neighborhoods where it first ap-
peareds and such a rigid quarantine
is maintained that it is not likely to
spread.
In Sheffield there have been three
new cases the past week but they
are in the same families that were
reported last week. There are two |
new cases in Whee1ock but no new
families affected.
The health officer at Greensboro |
said there had been three or four
new cases in that town but only one
in anew family. He released four
families from quarantine on Monday
and says he is releasing more 'fami1i
es daily than there are new cases.
He confidently feels the worst is
over in that vicinity.
IN Danville three families are af-
fected with the disease, two in the
same neighborhood as the case re-
ported last week and one family in
North Danville.

These figures show that the in
creases have been largely in depart

improvements while the large reduc-
tion in the arrears of the village
shows that the business has been
