Hearst Slams pemoeratIc platform.

In signed article in the Boston Amer
lean w. r. Hearst, the proprietor, criti-
cizes the Democratic platform in no UNI
certain terms, The article covers nearly
a page and says, among other things;
This platform a a whole rs no plat
form for progressive to stand on. 1t is
a compromse-from beginning to end. 1t
Is cowardly evasion in nearly every
plank. 1t lacks courage and 1t lacks con-
structive policy.
Its policy throughout is a policy OF
opposition, without the substitution of
practicable plan to any policy it OPP
poses.
Whether this is due to ignorance or
insincerity is immaterial. 1t deprves
che progressives of all hope In the
Democratic party. 1t deprives the citi-
zens of the country of all confidence in
the Democratic party
"a party Without a popular policy will
be a party Without popular support
In the plank on the parcels post and
rural delivery the Democrats might in
Justice and generosity have praised
President Taft, under whose administra-
ton the rural delivery and parcels post
are being developed

NEW HAMPSHIRE. NOTES.
Chestnut Tree BLIGHT In Cheshire count

".
The chestnut bark disease, which has
wrought certain destruction to practically
all chestnut trees which ii has attacked
in different parts of the country, has re-
Gently been discovered in Cheshire
county by the state forester and Dr.
Perley. Spaulding, an expert from the
United States department of agriculture,
who have visited sections of the state
where chestnuts were abundant for the
purpose of locating the disease wherever
II exists and giving warning to all own
ers OF such trees, with instructions for
checking the progress of the blight.
Towns where the blight has already
been located are Winchester Chesterfield
Swanzey, Mason, Milford, Brookline and
Hollis, and it is thought it probably ex-
lists In other towns. Southern New
Hampshire is on the northern edge of
the chestnut range, and as yet infected
trees are few in number, and it is be-
lieved the disease is advancing more
slowly than is the case farther south
After the examination made Dr.
Spaulding is of the opinion that if most
of the diseased trees are destroyed with
in the next few months the disease may
be checked so that the present young
chestnut sprout stand could grow to pole
size and be marketed before the disease
would have a chance to kill many of
the trees. The state forester has sent
cut circulars in regard to the disease
and its treatment, in which timber own
ers are urged to investigate their chest
nut trees and do their part toward
stamping ont the blight.

DAMAGE TO HIGHWAYS OVER $500.
Heavy Downpour Saturday and Sunday
NIghts--Streets Badly Washed and
Many cornheids Laid Low

Almost two inches of rain fell in this
locality during several showers from
Saturday evening to Monday morning.
To be exact, LIS inch was the total fall
registered by F. r. Vaughans instru-
ments on High street. A heavy down
pour which lasted practically all Satur-
day night and until after o'clock Sun
day morning amounted to 1.9 inch and
did much damage to the streets roads,
gardens and trees. At Island park the
rain leaked through the roof while the
Saturday evening dance was being held
and several puddles were formed on the
floor, hindering the dancing to some ex-
tent. About $50 o'clock Sunday morning
the sun appeared from behind the clouds
and the day was typical of the dog,
variety About o'clock clouds again
overspread the skies and a heavy, bla ok
cloud blew down from the northwest
With it came one of the heaviest falls
of rain that has been seen in this town
in recent years. Large limbs were
broken from trees by the wind and the
water laid fiat many corn fields, flower
gardens and ornamental shrubs. AL
though several bright flashes of light
ming and heavy crashes of thunder were
heard, no damage was done by the cleo
trical part of the storm.
The streets we're filled with running
water and on Main street, in front of
the public library the water overlooked
the sidewalks on both sides. Church
street resembled a cascade and a large
amount of dirt was deposited an the foot
of the hill on Elliot street. The juno
ton of South Main and Canal streets
always gives more or less trouble to the
street department after a storm and
Monday men were at work early repair
ing the damage. The surface of South
Main street was washed down in front
of the Brattleboro House and the dirt
was carted back and deposited on the
thoroughfare whence it had come
After visiting various parts of the
town Road Commissioner Squires said
the damage to highways probab bly, would
amount to more than $500. Mr.. Vau-
ghan's instruments showed that so inch
of rain fell from $50 Sunday morning to
$50 Monday morning
The sidewalk in front of Charles Mi
ner's new building on Elliot street caved
in after Sundays storm and a hole Is
feet long and eight feet deep was made.
The water rushing down Church street
was damned by piles of lumber, brick,
dirt and other debris in front of the
building, overflowed the walk and per-
colated through, causing the sidewalk to
fall in. Men filled the hole Monday and
Tuesday with bricks and dirt. Such was
the force of the water which rushed down
Church street that whole bricks were
taken from a pile near the new building
and carried nearly to the Grange store.

SAYS HE SET 80 FIRES.
Bernard c. Murray confesses That He
Was Responsible for the Destruction
Of Property Valued at 81 600. 900.

Bernard c. Murray, "a, son of for
mer fire commissioner in Hartford,
Conn, confessed to Chief of Police Man
ming in Greenfield Friday to having set
fire to 30 hotels and public buildings in
Connecticut and western Massachusetts
In the past few months. Murray is serv-
ing a short term sentence in Jail for
larceny committed at Lake Pleasant.
The evidence of incendiarism was strong
against him and he finally consented
TO make complete confession. Accord
ing to his statement he started the fire
which destroyed the city hall and the
Chelsea hotel in Waterbury, Conn,
April %, causing a loss of 100000 In
the latter part of May he says he start
ed fires in the Taylor block and the
HOLSTER house in Greenfield, and June
in the Central House in the same
town. Twice in June he set fires in
Turner's Falls, the Grand Trunk Hotel
and the Valdish hotel being among the
buildings in which he operated. The
most disastrous fire which he caused
destroyed the Wilson House and other
buildings in North Adams early the
morning of July 2. The property loss
at that place was more than half a
million dollars. Murray was working as
night clerk in the Wilson House. and
according to his statement he touched
a match to combustibles in two parts
OF the building. Several guests and en-
ployes of the Wilson House narrowly
escaped with their lives. Murray at
tracted attention at the time by his
bravery in getting guests out of the
burning building He went from North
Adams to Springfield, Mass, and early
In July set is fires in that city and
vicinity. While no lives were lost in the
hres for which he was responsible
hundreds of persons most of them hotel
guests, were imperilled, and the aggre-
gate property loss is estimated at $1,0O0,-
700. Murray says he could not resist the
impulse to start the fires His usual
method was to light some inflammable
material in closet and then go to some
nearby place where he could view the
fire and the excitement attendant upon
It,

]. H. Hale Of Connecticut, in a recent
interview, says that we can raise on
our hills, just as good apples as they
raise in Oregon and our land can be
bought for $50 and $40 an acre, while the
oregon land costs from $500 to $1,000 an
acre. Mr.. Hale advocates an extension
OF the trolleys TO the hills with the privi-
lege of carrying freight He lives IN a
remote country place where the trolley
freight has made his present business
