ACCUSES DWARF OF CRIME


Innocent Man Victim Of What May
Prove to be Murder
Bellows Falls, May pa serious
slabbing ARRAY which may prove to
be murder occurred in this place on
Thursday evening, John Bowe
young man of quiet and unoffensive
habits, was set upon and stabbed UNI
der his left shoulder while walking
along Canal street at about $3.50 o.
clock An ugly wound, apparently
made with a large pocket knife, was
inflicted. Canal street where the
stabbing occurred Is just off from
Main street and near the depot, and
la crowd at once gathered. Chief OF
| Police Severance and Officer McKenna
were told that the assault was com
mltted by Polander. named Martin
Key, whom they caught as he was
fleeing from the scene of the crime.
Key is a dwarf, not over four feet
seven inches high, &c years old and
unmarried. He has lived in Bellows
Falls for five years and has at times
been in the employ OF the Vermont
Farm Machine company but has
been out of work for some time past.
He is quick tempered and has often
been bothered about his inferior size
and is said to have previously forci-
bly, resented the batting of his com
panions
Rumor has it that he, was angry on
Thursday night because some beer
had been stolen from him. When
arrested he had black eye which
showed an alteration Of some kind.
In preliminary hearing Friday after
noon, Key plead mot guilty" and on
motion OF his counsel, Charles II.
| Williams the case was continued for
one week and Key was placed under
$4,000 bonds which he was unable to
furnish. None Of the parties were
yisibly intoxicated though there
seems a general opinion that liquor
had more or less to do with the case.
Bowe. the injured man, says he
thinks Key stabbed him by mistake,
as they had never had any previous
trouble. Since the opening OF the sa-
looms at North Walpole there has
been much more intoxication on this
side of the river, and every cell of the
Bellows Falls lookup has an inmate
tonight.

BANKS LOAN" MONEY.

Business Transaction.

They Don't "Lend" It, Because II ls .
Business Transaction.
why Is 1t banking houses always
'loan" their huge sums Of money,
never by any chance "lend" themf
Lend" is the true verb. while 'loan"
was exclusively the noun. How came
1t about that ito loan" has uniformly
snpplanted 'to lendr
The purists make a great fuss about
this. They insist that the stupid and
untaught financial world has foisted
upon the language a substantive verb
when no new verb was needed, when
the ancient and established usage was
fixed in the Specification of ito lend"
But prior to the modern development
Of business enterprise when money
was lent 1t was bestowed upon the Dor.
rover either for temporary use with.
out compensation, as a mark Of favor
or patronage, or by the professional
money lender who. taking advantage
of persons in extremities Of need, de-
manded usurious interest This Anglo
Saxon verb today retains its ancient
cOnnotation. When It was coined the
productive powers Of money were IN
known, and the wealth of rich men
was locked up for safety and kept out
of the channels Of commerce.
Nowadays, by devices Of credit and
rapid intercommunication, 1t is kept
constantly working in productive en-
terprises. immense loans are made, nc
longer to relieve the necessitous and the
improvident, but to stimulate indus
try and to enable the borrower as vel
as the loaner to reap a profit In his
transactions. Money is loaned" in this
sense. 1t is not lent-sNew York Times

SLUMS FOUND Wherever
THERE Is CONGESTION
Lack of Adequate Transit Cause Of
Crowded and DiIspidatsd Houses.

Lack Of adequate transit and trans
portatlon facilities Is one of the chief
causes of congestion, says G. A. Ford
In the American City. With no good
means of going to and from the heart
of the city people are forced to remain
In the near vicinity Of their work,
and in this connection we use the
word adequate" advisedly, for II is
perfectly possible for a subway to be
so placed that Its operation tends to
increase rather than decrease conges-
ton
Again, congestion often appears as
a result Of the lack of adequate city
regulations with regard to open space,
sunlight, etc. These regulations would
differ In different communities, but
the smaller community must be care
full not to adopt standards for these
things such as have been adopted by
the greatest cities, as this often tends
TO inclte builders in the smaller com
munities to ape the intolerable condl-
lions prevalent in the greater cities,
Speculation in land, due to the de
sire of each individual to get the max
imum possible return on his holdings,
this return often being out OF all pro-
portion to anything that the owner
himself has done to bring it about,
probably accounts more than anything
else for the worst phases of conges-
ton.
That congestion has a marked effect
on health no one can doubt. It's tend
ency is to crowd tenements so closely
together that a good circulation OF air
or the admission of sunlight into llv-
ing rooms becomes impossible. The
rooms are dark The air in the mar
row Sits Of shafts and wells becomes
stagnant and foul. There is no incen-
tive to self respect on the part Of the
jewellers in these novels The shafts
become a. receptacle for the constantly
increasing accumulation of garbage.
II is nobody's business to see that It Is
cleared out

Her Kind Of Economy.

Persons who had heard the man de-
clare many times that unless he could
find truly economical woman he
would never marry laughed cynically
at the announcement of his engage
ment to a woman who had figured In a
thirty dollar hat episode.
Surely" said his friends, you don't
consider woman who buys thirty
dollar hats truly economlcalf"
81 do" said the man. Just recall
the circumstances. She was found
lying in faint In a millinery store
anteroom with $500 In cash and bill
for a thirty dollar hat in her pocket
book. 1 claim that any woman who
will pay only $50 for a hat when she
has $500 in cold cash in her pocket
book is economical to the core, and
am going to marry her."-New York

Drilled Soldiers,

Charles XII. of Sweden, the mad
man Of the north" ripped most of
Europe up the back again and again
because his soldiers were drilled to
perfection before he let them take the
field at time when there was great
neglect of drill In other armies. He
valued 1000 well drilled fighters above
10000 not so well drilled, and, mad
man or genius, his judgment was vim
dicated repeatedly in terrible battles.

That Tired Feeling.

That you have day in and out, whet'
her you work or not, is tired feeling
that healthy people don't have.
1t is most common at this time OF
year-upon the return of warm wealth
er-but it comes from rundown con
dition of the system in which the
blood is impure or impoverished.
1t is burdensome and discouraging
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pills posi-
lively remove it; they purify and en-
rich the blood, tone the organs, and
build up the whole system.
Thousands of people know this by
experience.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pills will
make you feel better, look better, eat
and sleep better. Accept no substi
tutes.

Don't hesitate to kill drone hen
because she is a pure bred bird. Many
aristocrats are gilt edged ciphers.
Don't advertise and expect rush
before the printers ink is dry. An adj
added to an ad. is the practical mer
chants fad and brings the pull that

Don't worry the editor of this paper
by sending him questions about poul-
try. Send the questions to us. If you
send him your check he will gladly
return a neatly printed receipt and
this paper for a whole year.
Don't be obnoxious to your fellow

cause gun play.
Don't pin your faith to written guar

Don't sell bad eggs for Matching

caught because your customer is 100
miles away. You may be within one
hour of the judgment day.
Don't be bamboozled by catalogue

The arrival of the first gold shipment of the season from Alaska, and the statement that the total gold output of the northern country this year will be worth about S15,OOO,OOO, will again di- rect public attention to Alaska and Alaska's needs
 The power schooner Bender Brothers sailed from Seattle on June 20th, with supplies for the government school teachers in remote parts of Alaska. Five teachers also embarked as passen- gers: MT. and Mrs. Charles F. Richard son are on their way to Hooper 'Oay; Mir. and Mrs. Warren l.. Call are bound for Kulukak, on Bristol bay, and Claud M. Allison is bound for Goodnews bay. New schools are ready at these places.
 Delegate Wickersham, of Alaska, has introduced a resolution authorizing the house committee on territories to visit Alaska this summer to investigate the extension of home rule to the terri tory. A similar measure has passed the senate. Mir. Wickersham has been assured by the house committee that his home government bill will be re- ported favorably at an early date, al- though no action may be taken, of course. until next session.
 In addition to the big nugget which some time since was picked up on No. o above, Fairbanks creek, which was a gold nugget full of quartz, Charles Bevans, in sluicing up his winter dump on the same claim, has just picked up quartz nugget flecked so full with gold that it is almost solid nugget. From all appearances, the latter nugget had not travelled far, and with each day the Fairbanks creek people are awakening to the fact that the whole left limit of their domain is very likely to prove a veritable bonanza in that line. The gold in this find was rough and heavy, and the aggregation was as large as a mans shand.-Fairbanks Times.
 When the Standard Oil Company signed contract of purchase for the first 100000 barrels of Katalla oil, the Alaska oil fields became a factor in the national petroleum market. Realizing the potentialities of the northern fields the Rothschilds, as rivals of the Rocke- fellers in the oil business of the world, are gaining foothold on Puget sound that they may be in a position to share the product of the Katalla oil belt. The Rothschilds, in the oil trade, are known as the Shell-Royal Dutch Companies, with oil fields in the East Indies, in India and in Russia. Seattle and San Francisco are to be their. ports of entry into the Western American territory.
 The latest news from the scene of the new strike on the south side of the Yukon river, opposite the mouth of the Melozi, confirms the location as being due south, or nearly so, from the mouth of Ruby creek, and the route as being up that creek and over the divide to Long creek near the headwaters uf the Novikaket, which enters the Yukon about eight miles this side of Kokrines, or about 13o miles below Fort Gibbon. The part of Long creek on which pay is reported as having been found is about 9 miles from the site of Ruby City, on the Yukon, and the ridges that are followed are easily travelled, on ac- count of the soil being mostly gravel.- Fairbanks Times.
