A cold chisel weighing pound and
a half, ordinarily used in machine
shop was taken from the stomach of
two-year-old heifer, owned by VIII
Cheney of Hinckley the other day.
About a year ago the heifer began to
act strangely. Veterinary surgeons
were employed but they could not
diagnose the case. A few days ago
a calf was born TO the heifer. Last
week Mr.. Cheney noticed bunch on
the side of the animal and an opera
ton was performed and the cold
chisel which was nine inches long,
one-half inch wide, and a quarter OF
an inch thick, was taken from the
stomach of the heifer She appeared
to grow better at once, though she
weighed less.

VIOLENCE DISCOURAGED
Socialist Leaders Have Fund of
S3,oooooo Raised to Garry On

Brussels.-Brussels is the scene of
one of. the greatest general strikes
the world has ever witnessed. 1t is
to affect every branch of industry in
the kingdom. At least 100000 men,
possibly 100000 have ceased work.
Unlike most strikeks, this move
ment is not for an increase in wages
or a betterment of working condit-
ions; it is in protest against the re-
rusal of the government to grant the
workers manhood suffrage, Coal min
ers, railroad men, glass workers, foun-
dTymen, e'ertriCians and dockmen
have PLEDGED themselves to obey the
summons of the socialist leaders to
make the walk-out enective. If the
commands of the organizers of the
agitation are needed, the men will re-
train from acts of violence.
Indeed, the workers have promised
that men will be furnished to pump
the mines, keep the blast furnaces go
ing and otherwise protect property so
that when the strike is ended, an i'm
mediate resumption of work can be
begun. The government, however, is
taking no chances, and as a precau-
tion against possible disorders, has
stationed troops at strategic points in
cage of need.
Thousands Of women and children
have been sent out of the country by
the workmen so that they may not
suffer The strike leaders say they
have 100000 with which to carry
on the movement.
The respective forces have prepared
in every way possible for the strike
The government has massed soldiers
at all strategic points in the kingdom,
but is keeping them out of sight as
much as possible and altogether is dis
playing a keen desire to avoid any
thing that could be regarded as pro-
vocative.
The socialist leaders have arranged
to entertain the strikers and assist
them with food when needed. Ghent
| already has been divided into four
districts, in each of which soup and
bread will be distributed. Among
other socialistic devices to raise funds
for the strikers will be sale of books
of prose and poetry to which contri-
buttons Of stories and verse already
have been made by distinguished au-
thors, including Annatole France,
J Maeterlinck, and others.

How to Choose Fish.

Here are a few suggestions on how
to choose fish: Turbot should have
the under side of a yellowish white
for when it is very transparent blue
or thin it is not good; the whole fish
should be thick and Arm, Salmon
should have fine red flesh and gills;
the scales should be bright and the
whole fish firm. Many persons think
that salmon is improved by keeping
a day or two.

In a statement accompanying the
bill Chairman Underwood said the
measure would, in the opinion Of its
makers, revise the tariff Ito a basis
Of legitimate competition, such as will
afford a wholesome influence on our
commerce, bring relief to the people
in the matter Of the high cost Of llv-
ing, and at the same time work no
detriment to properly conducted man
ufacturing industries"
I'm its tariff revision work the com.
mittee has kept in mind" he said, "the
distinction between the necessities
and the luxuries Of life, reducing the
tariff burdens on the necessities to
the lowest points commensurate with
revenue requirements and making the
luxuries of life bear their proportion
Of the tariff responsibilities. Many
items of manufacture controlled by
nfonopolies have been placed on the
free list"
Where the tariff rates balance the
difference in cost of production at
home and abroad, including an allow
ance for the difference in freight
rates, the tariff must be competitive,
and from that point downward to the
lowest tariff that can be levied will
continue to be competitive to a great
er or less extent. Where competition
is not interfered with by levying the
tax above the highest competitive
point the profits of the manufactures
are not protected.
Strikes Blow at Monopoly.
"On the other hand, when the du-
ties levied at the custom house are
high enough to allow the American
manufactures to make profit before
his competitor can enter the field, we
have invaded the domain Of the pro
lection of profits. In the committees
judgment the protection of any profit
must of necessity have a tendency to
destroy competition and create monop-
oily, whether the profit protected is
reasonable or unreasonable.
Which course is the wiser one for
our government to take? The one
that demands the protection of profits,
the continued policy Of hothouse
growth for our industries-the stagna-
ton of development that follows
where competition ceases--or, on the
other hand, the gradual reduction of
our tariff to basis where the Ameri-
can manufacturer must meet honest
competition; where he must develop
his business along the best and most
economic lines; where, when he fights
at home to control his market, he is
forging the way in the economic de-
velopment of his business to extend
his trade in the market of the world.
The future growth of our great indus
tries lies beyond the seas"

New Petitions
Filed in ThaW Case

/ Concord, y. H., NOV. 1.-THE
amended writ of habeas corpus which
acts as a stay in the removal of Harry
K. 1'haw, from New Hampshire to
New York, was filed by his counsel
with the clerk of the United States
district court in this city, this morning.
The hearing upon this new writ and
upon the petition of the State of New
York for the dismissal of the habeas
corpus proceedings will be held here
before Judge Edgar Aldrich, at IL
o'clock, Tuesday morning.
| In the supplemental petition. for u
writ of habeas corpus, Harry n. Thaw
asks that the writ may issue on the
ground that he is a citizen OF Penn
sylvania; that his commitment to the
insane asylum at Matteawan was un-
authorized and Illegal; that Section
454 of the code of criminal procedure
OF New York state, under which he
was there committed, is in conflict with
the 14th amendment to the ConStitu-
ton; that the petitions for his extra
dietion do not charge q crime, to es-
cape from an insane asylum being
neither crime nor a misGemeanor
under New York law; and that if Thaw
was insane he could not conspire to
escape from the asylum. while if he
was sane, he had Il right SO TO con-
spire.
The petition attacks tine good faith
of the state of New York in demand
ing extradition, naming various fea-
lures of the case which together with
.the atmosphere" of the proceedings on
the part of the special deputy attor-
ney general of the state OF New York
establish bad faith and are convincing
evience of a purpose to obtain possess
sion of Thaw, not for trial on the con-
spiracy indictment, but for re-conflne-
ment in Matteawan."
