now become plain 10 all and is now re-
ncclod by The expansion in bank cleariugs
and railroad earnings, the big uDllft in
the iron and steel trade. the advance in
goods. the brisker demand for money
and in the confidence inspired by the
record breaking cotton crop of upwards
of I5 .QQo. .000 bales. Business men are dis
posed to move ahead and the situation
as the year draws to a close is so much
more encouraging as 10 be The years most
conspicuous development.
The holiday trade is notably active in
all the large cities
This retail activity, coupled with the
unusually warm weather and the end of
the year accounting, operates to make
Wholesale operations slower. but there
has been no real cneck 10 the expansion
in business.
The outlook for the new year is eN-
cocdngly promising. In the dry goods
trade the most notable development is
the bat,erment in wooens and worsteds
Silks are also stronger Leather is duh
but prices arc firm. Hides are weak.
Each week serves to emphasize the pro-
nounced betterment in iron and steel
Operations al mills and furnaces are on
an enlarged scale and several plants now

month. The November statement OF the
Unitcd States Steel corporation was par
ticulaTly favorable.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent life insurance companies,
in an interview on the subject, made the
astonishing statement that the reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble
is so common to the American people,
and the large majority of applicants do
not even suspect that they have the
disease
He states that Judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful in re-
lieying and curing these diseases than
any remedy known The mild and heal
ing influence Of DR. Kilmers Swamp
Root is soon realized, 1t stands the
highest for its remarkable record OF
cures
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would advise
our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy TO give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes
fifty cents and one dollar.
However, il you wish first to test its
wonderful merits, send to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, n Y, for sample
bottle, absolutely free. When writing,
be sure and mention the Barre Daily

to its capacity. There was singing by
the school children and music by the
Montpelier Military band, after which
Mayor Ballard, Walter II. Crockett and
Judge 0'Sullivan gave addresses, the lat.
ter being the speaker OF the day. He
spoke Of the country in general and
Vermont in particular and traced the
growth Of each, giving the reasons for
il.
Last evening about 1000 were pres
ent al the ball in the auditorium Of the
city hall, and during the first of the
evening the floor was so crowded that
dancing was almost impossible, A spec
ial feature was the Spanish dance, CIV
en- by twelve Spaniards in costume, ac-
eompanied BY fife and drum. During
the evening A. J. Sibley made brief
address, in the course of which he took
occasion TO thank the Italian and Span
ish population of Montpelier for the
hearty way in which they had cooper
ated with the rest in making the day
4 success.

were quite generally used at residences,

the accident occurred Altogether, the

bullet holes in its tough hide.
The animal escaped while being driven
down the gangway from car that had
brought it from the stock yards in Chi

women going to work when the steer,
shaking its big horns and believing
with rage and fright, ran from 50th
street to 33rd.
Six policemen were in hot pursuit,
emptying their pistols as they ran, but
none Of the bullets found a vital spot
until the animal turned over 33rd street
and was about to invade the new Penn

Then it fell dead on the sidewalk in
the midst of a crowd of commuters just
leaving their trains
Although at least 20 persons were
upset by the animal in it's wild career,
nobody received anything worse than
bruises. On its way, the steer paused to
