REMoDELLING THE HOTEL
Main Part of st. Johnsbury House
to be Fixed First-James Foye
in Charge

At a meeting of the directors OF
the st. Johnsbury Hotel Company
last Saturday evening it was unani-
mously voted by the directors and
several stockholders present to re-
ject the bids submitted and instruct
James E. FOye to begin work imme-
diately on the renodelling of the
main part of the present ST. Johns
bury House. The work is to be done
according to the plans of Architect
Crandall
Work will be continued as long
as the weather permits. 1t is plan
ned to repair the foundations of
the house and raise the roof to allow
the finishing Off of good rooms on
the top floor of the building. The
old front will also be changed and
the rooms on the second and other
floors will be remodelled and equip
ped with baths.
Probably that will be all that will
be done this fall as the Office and
dining room cannot be changed un-
til the addition has been construct
ed and it is not expected this will
be commenced until early spring.

MORE LIVE STOCK
w. A. Ricker's Mammoth Ship
ments Show Vermont Is Pro-
ducing More Cattle.

The shipment of 657 calves, 166
hogs, TO sheep, 569 beef cattle and
81 new milch cows to the Brighton
markets by w. A. Kicker last week
shows Vermont still on the map so
far as live stock is concerned. This
stock brought $4,000 at Brighton
which is a tidy sum to be paid out
to Vermont farmers in one week.
1t took 35 cars to transport this
stock. The week before that Mr.
Kicker sent 80 cars of live stock
to the market and the first week in
October he sent 29 cars. October is
safely a record month in his busi-
ness and he is. confident Vermont
farmers are raising more cattle than
formerly as his shipments have
more than quadrupled in 20 years.
The vast shipments of stock are
picked up from the following terri
tory:-On the Boston and Maine
from Newport to White River juno
ton; on the ST. j. and L. c. from
East Fairfield to st. Johnsbury; on
the Maine Central from Lunenburg
to st. Johnsbury; on the Central
Vermont from Milton to Waterbury;
and on the Montpelier and Wells
River road from Montpelier to
Wells River.
Mr.. Kicker believes it would be
advantageous to the Vermont
farmer to diversity his live stock
business a little and instead of
keeping all dairy cows keep part
dairy, part beef cattle and some
sheep.

second murder on Friday when Lou

Prouty, just one week after the
double murder and suicide and with
in one mile of the scene OF the pre-
vious crimes. The men had quar-
relied for a long time and that after
noon had had words over several
different matters. Just as IL was get
ting dark Prouty passed Fosters
home and according to his story
threatened his life and struck him.
Foster who is a game warden and
privileged TO carry a gun, shot him
through the brain, killing him in
stantly. Calling his housekeeper to
do all she could for Prouty, Foster
rode horseback to a neighboring con-
stable to whom he surrendered him
self and was taken to Newfane jail.
Fosters housekeerer was the only
witness to the shooting. She heard
the revolver 20 off three times.

turned over to the constable as the
one with which he did the shooting,

while the bullet which killed Prouty
was steel jacketed and from a 3s cal

Royal Welsh Ladies, Choir

That the Royal Welsh Ladies'
Choir which will appear at The Col
onial on Oct. %, brings the goods
with it when it tours country, and
that it captiVates the heart of the
people, needs no other certificate
than the fact that the choir on it's
third tour is receiving a warmer re-
ception than it ever received on it's
previous tours The daughters of
Wales have found out that Amer
leans and Canadians are truly !. a
musical people, and, as Madame
Hughes-Thomas puts it, the proof
of a really musical nature is the
stunning of musical trash, however
cheap it may be, and the patroniZ-
ing of musical art for arts sake.
even thought the price be prohibit
tive. Musical America has gone
craZy-to use a vulgar term-over
the singing Of the lasses from
Wales, not because of any high price
they had to pay to hear them, but
because the singing of the choir
the ideal of genuinely musi-
cal people. Hence the third visit of
the choir and the invariable warm
reception it has met with SO far at
every appearance on its persent ftin-
erary over our great continent. One
Of the effects of the previous tours
Is that the choir, having become
more accustomed to the American
people, sings on this occasion better,
f possible, than it ever did before.
