It is an extremely good advertisement
for Vermont granite-Bethel granite, t.
be specifc-that the granite was ac
cepted for the Washington, ID. c., post
Office structure in spite of the fact that
the bid of the Vermont concern was
$4,000 greater than the lowest bid Of
fered on the alf-million-dollar contract.
Washington already has quite a huge
mountain of Vermont granite set up in
its midst, and this postoffice contract
will make quite sizeable addition TO
the exhibition of what Vermont has.

"The Battle" Reviewed by W. Stephen
Bush


Bush.
This picture, well named "The Battle, .
has in more than ordinary degree that
pleasing Biograph characteristic of
throwing the spectator into the very
heart of things before the first hundred
feet have run their course. No need of
the title to tell us, that we are stand
ing on the threshold of the great war
between the North and the South. Every
inch of film throbs with life; the ardent
spirit of patriotism, that in those mem
orable days famed up in every heart,
the young soldiers so gay and so brave,
the matrons and the maidens, sorrow
ing and cheering by turns all these are
moving and breathing in the first scenes
on the screen, Scarcely have we alb
sorbed the martial rhythm of the pic
tlTe when we are hurried into battle
with stirring incidents and varying for
tunes, ending after anxious moments of
dreadful suspense in the victory of the
North and the union of very real and
human pair of lovers, but so intense
and natural is its fascination, that at
the end we could only realize that it
was all over by special effort of the
will. A Biograph masterpiece the acme
Of picture-productions. It's at the
Dreamland.

CHANGING SENTIMENT IN YER
MONT.

MONT.
The demand for the substitution of the
electric chair for the gallows in Vermont
il gaining ground considerably, judging
by the sentiment expressed by variou,
newspapers. The Kent job with the rope
was, of course, largely responsible for
the uprising of popular revulsion against
hanging just at this time, but if We
are not mistaken the trend of public
opinion has been for some time in favos
of eleetrocution if murderers are to b.
put out of existence. More than that.
too, the desire for substituting life inn
prisonment for capital punishment is
finding expression more frequently both
in the press and in individual comment
by men who are thinking about the sub

Arguments Heard on
Haskell Hearst Motion

Arguments on the demurrer of William
Randolph Hearst OF New York in the
5000, coo libel suit brought against him by
former Governor c. N, Haskell Of Okla
homa were heard In federal court yestcr-
day afternoon and taken under advise
ment by Judge William II. Munger
The arguments involved the terms used
in the petition in the suit. IS jain Inv,
Battin, attorney for Hearst, objected 20
having his client charged with SANDER,
saying that statements made by Hearst
regarding Haskell were not made against
Haskell as n man, but as an officer or
official. The charges complained OF were
published In the chain of Hearst papers
and Mr. Battln asked that the publication
I'm each paper be set out in a separate
cause OF action as Mr.. Hearst might not
be the fun owner OF the paper In each
instance. @. j. Smyth spoke for Haskell.
The suit was brought In the district
court OF Douglas county In the fall OF
1905, but was transferred by Hearst 10
the federal court. 1t grew out of a
publication in the Hearst papers, during
the political campaign Of 1905, charging
Haskell with being the tool Of Standard
OIL.

The con man entered Gross store at
6 O'Clock and laid down a handful Of
change ON the counter, asking for $40
bill, which he said he wanted to send
away. Mr.. Gross gave him the bill
and upon counting the change, discovered
that Il was y cents shy, He
made this fact known and the stranger,
who had apparently placed the bill In the
envelope, returned II to Mr. Gross, and
picking up his change. said he would
return In a few moments with the right
change.
Mr. Gross, however, had heard Of the
envelope swindler before and Immediately
tore open the paper. Instead OF $40
bill he found only 81 bill lie made a
jump FOR the stranger, who Immediately
fled. After an exciting chase up
Eighteenth street, Mr. Gross overlook
