NEW SANITARIUM.
DIR. r. r. Hayes to Move to the HickOk
Place on Pearl Street.

The old Hickok place at the corner Of
Pearl and North Union streets has been
purchased by DR.. 7. T.. Hayes, who will
open sanitarium there shortly after
the first of October. when he will move
from his present quarters on South WI
nooski avenue which have become too
small. The price paid for the property.
which is most desirably located for such
a purpose, Is $1,000. and 1t was bought
from Dr. and Mrs. w. r. Prime. The
house is handsomely located with a
spacious yard which Is shielded from
the street by old fashioned cedar hedges
and also possesses commodious YER
andas.
DR.. Hayes established his sanitarium
on South Winooski avenue about a year
ago and has since done a large business.
He intends to transfer all of the equip
ment for giving baths and different
treatments to the new location about
the first Of the month. Miss Elizabeth
Hayes will be the matron Between 80
and 10 patients can be taken care of
easily and whereas formerly only certain
hours were allowed men and women.
they can be taken at all times during
the day because of the increased space.

FARMERS PROSPEROUS.
Why should Young Men Leave the
Farm In These Tlmese

An idea OF the real prosperity that exists
In the agricultural sections Of our coun-
try at the present time may be gathered
from comparison of present prices with
those available for the grain crops In the
year OF large production OF 1896 In the
earlier year 1t will be recalled the pro-
duction of corn was so large that the
farmers actually burned that cereal, And
ing II cheaper to do this than to pur-
chase fuel. The price OF September de-
livery In Chicago In 1896 for corn declined
as low as 10 l-2 cents n bushel. To-day
II Is about zoe bushel and we have every
reasonable expectation OF a 5000. 900. 900
bushel yield. Oats for September delivery
In 1896 sold In Chicago at "A 81 cents a
bushel' To-day's price Is about a2c, and
we have this year an epoch-marking
production. September wheat In 1896 sold
at ~ 3-4 cents In Chicago. 1t is now SELL
Ing at about 92c. and we have a 100. 900. 900
bushel crop.
The farmers of Vermont no longer COM
pete with cheap lands In the West. The
next move will be for western farmers
to buy the comparatively cheap lands of
New England.

THOUSANDS SINK RAPIDLY
Jacob Goodkin's Manipulations

Hearing in Bankruptcy Proceedings
Disclosses strange Disappearance
II Property OF winooski
Merchant.

"1 used to go out of town and spend
money trying to get a rich girl testified
Jacob l.. Goodkin before Referee j. T.
stearns at his hearing in bankruptcy. rhe
|hnswer was elected in response to a grill
ling examination by the attorneys for
large number Of creditors who would like
| to know where Goodkin sunk thousands OF
dollars in little clothing and shoe store
| In Winooski within the space of two years.
Jacobs explanations read like another
lnstament of Potash and Perlmutter
When asked as to the outcome of his
hmorous endeavors Jacob said, II didn't
get her. not yet. and so I can't tell you
whore she lives"
Goodkins efforts to go into bankruptcy
are being opposed with more than the
customary vigor and Attorneys q. NJ.
Page. Henry Conlin, NJ. L. Powell and II.
/ f. Wolcott are representing the credit
ors. V. A. Billiard is appearing for Good
| kin, who recently filed a petition, giving
| his assets as 1898 20 and his liabilities as
( S,2401s In the assets. however, the STOCK
Is listed as 81, 200 more than It was nven-
toried for.
Goodkin has been on the stand during
much of the hearing, during which realms
| of evidence have been taken He Is a
poor witness and evidently has memory
like Standard Oil company official. He
couldn't remember even what towns he
had lived in during the eight years he has
been in the United States. He thought
that he lived for while In st. Adams, but
wasn't sure. He was apparently in Just
as complete ignorance in regard to his
business affairs and couldn't remember
what in the minds Of most men are con-
sidered important things. Money Dor
rowed and mortgages paid without his
slightest recollection and 1t seemed mpos-
s.ble to get from him a statement as to
the amount of business transacted during
his career in Winoosk
1t appeared, however. that Goodkin with
capital of 500 and $1,000 or so OF bor-
rowed money opened the store known as
the "Toggery" on Main street in Winooski
in the month of May, 1910. He was closed
up on a writ last July. The business done
ascertained, was about $4,000 and last year
went up to somewhere near sio,v'L His
expenses are estimated to have been in
the neighborhood of $50 per week. What
puzzles opposing attorneys is where over

the profits on the business, which Goodkin
admitted was about % per cent gross.
The petitioner testified that ne didn't
drink to excess used tobacco moderately,
was unmarried and 1t began to look as
though the money must be concealed in a
stocking somewhere when he suddenly
thought of the girl. He would not. how
ever. tell her name or location. In an ef-
fort to show that the money had been
spent legitimately, Goodkin testified that
