by double windows and also by the sky
light of beautiful art glass. The room
is finished in golden oak and contains
large and commodious librarians desk
or circular counter. The library occu-
pies the side OF the building facing the
Congregational church.

the opposite corner room for the use
of the librarian. In the basement is an
attractive hall, with a seating capacity

hall or theatre.
The building is lighted throughout
with electricity, is heated by steam, is
finished in hard wood and is furnished
with modern plumbing and lavatories in
the furnace room, as well as for the
postofiice and in the dressing rooms in
the basement. In the basement also is
a Mosler safe, built in.
The structure has been erected most
eonscientiously by the H. p. Cummings
Co. of Ware, Mass, and is estimated to
have cost from $4,000 to $4,000. The
townspeople have watched the erection
of the building with heartfelt interest.
The cornerstone was laid on Memorial
day with fitting exercises and the work
has progressed steadily since then. The
building is not quite completed, as the
furnishings for the library and postoffice
have not arrived.
The generous donor of the library,
George Alfred Joslin, was born in Waits
field and is a successful business man
of Omaha. Sincere gratitude is rendered
him by his former townspeople for this
substantial memorial for the Joslin
name, name that has stood for much
in the history of the town.

NEXT STEP UNCERTAIN.
Said Secretary Bryan in Commenting on
Mexican Affair.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 30.-Secretary
of State Bryan, on leaving to-day to
speak in the New Jersey political cam
paign, said there was no change in the
Mexican situation. That the next step
of the administration in the Mexican
policy had not been fully worked and
may not be announced for another week
was indicated at the White House.
ut has been necessary" said Senator
Bacon, chairman of the foreign relations
committee, "that the European nations
should recognize the right of the United
States to deal with the situation. Now
that we have that recognition, it will
take little time for the president to
work out the problem" The possibil-
ity that within the next few days a
definite announcement will be made by
the Huerta government OF the result of
the election last Sunday had the eff
feet of postponing action by the United
States.
1t is felt in many quarters that the
United States should await formal ae-
tion by the authorities in Mexico City
before putting on record her rejection of
the election.

TOLD ABOUT DEPRECIATION.
President of New England Telephone Co.
Described 1t To Commission.

President Philip i. Spaulding OF the
New England Telephone Co. was on the
stand all day yesterday when the hear
ing on proposed rate reduction was re-
sumed before the Vermont public sery-
ice commission at the State House in
Montpelier. The subject under discus
sion was depreciation.
He said that life of telephone poles
was given as l6 years for toll line poles
and 10 years for exchange poles, the
former being placed mostly in the coun-
try districts are less liable to damage
and rot. Iron wire was estimated to
last IA years on toll lines and 10 on ex-
change lines, the difference being that
sulphur and coal smoke in the cities cor
roded the wire. The average life of bare
copper wire is 30 years. Depreciation
on buildings his company figures at 2,S
per cent through the possibility of being
compelled to move to larger structures
and not being able to get what was ex-
pended on the original buildings. De-
probation on rights of way was figured
at 2.5 per cent through possible neces-
sity of changing lines. Highway right
of way depreciation was figured at 4 per
cent.
Attorney Cook queried Pres. Spaulding
at length as to the relation of the Bell
Telephone Co. or the American Bell Tele
phone & Telegraph Co. with the New
England in regard to the purchase of
supplies from the Western Electric Co.
Mr.. Spaulding said that whereas the
American company owns 81 per cent OF
the stock of the New England still that
the latter could purchase supplies of any
concern other than the Western company
if they so desired and that the Ameri-
can company could not compel them to
continue to buy of the Western Electric.
He said that contracts between sub
OF the American company
made contracts with other subcompan-
les for their mutual benefit, adding that
all contracts in business were made to
benefit each party concerned.
The system in vogue was for the bet
ter rendering, cheaper and better serv
ice.
Pres. Spaulding said that the Ameri-
can company practically controlled the
telephone situation in the United States
through ownership of the majority OF
stock in all of the large companies.

WAGONS CLASHED WHEELS.
And There Was a Confused Mass of
Men, Horses and Carts.

| Homegoers from the mercantile dis
trict witnessed a thrilling spilling OF
eggs and men and horses near the store
of Reynolds & Son around o'clock last
night G. W. Bragg, farmer living on
the Montpelier road. came down North
Main street about the hour folks were
going for supper and the first thrill
came when the Bragg outfit sideswiped
a team driven by Fred Robbins. The
latter acted with such precision that
serious collision was averted, although
a short delay ensued before the two
teams were disengaged
Mr.. Bragg's next misfortune occurred
when his wagon, light express vehicle
hooked in with Tassie Bros delivery
team on the east side of the street. Wit
nesses say that the farmers team was
travelling along at stiff caper when
the two came together. The Tassie
wagon suddenly changed ends and in the
mixup it was stripped of wheel
Startled by unexpected developments in
the rear, Mr.. Bragg's horse gave a sud
den lunge that turned the wagon upside
down.
Deputy Sheriff II. J. Slayton was the
first to the rescue and he was extrieating
tne uFiNet iTVu sofTs tdiigle oI scfhm-
bled eggs and farm produce under the
wagon when others came to his assist
ance Some one took charge of Mr.
Tassie's horse while another fixed
firm grasp on the farmers steed. Sec
tions of Mr.. Bragg's wagon We're found
to have been badly splintered in the ac-
cident and some seven dozen eggs were
converted into an immense omelet on the
tagging. The driver had rather mar
row escape from injury as the first
crash left him securely pinned to the
street.
