Strange Reptile Discovered.

Douglas 5. Dorrell discovered IN
unfamiliar reptile on his place one day
last week. 1t came from under the
barn, as shown by the path which it
left and dropped into a trench about
a foot and half deep, which had
been dug to expose a leaking water
pipe. The reptile was unable TO crawl
up the sides of the trench. hence was
imprisoned. 1t appeared to be a sort
of lizard, although much larger than
our common lizards, being about 10
inches long. Its color is very dark
green, spotted with bright lemon-yel-
low, and it looks rather snakclike. 1t
has four legs, round tail. quite
pointed.
Mr.. Dorren observed that the upper
jaw was hinged at its base so as to
fold backward on it's back. Not car
ing to keep such a pet he released the
stranger, which took back track
under the barn; whether to the brook
or not, nobody knows. The lizard has
not again visited its newly found
friends. Is this reptile common to
Vermont or where does it hail from

LUMBER PRICES
Lowered by the Organization of
a Farmers' Yard

Trip, Jan. 22.-One of the meet
successful farmers lumber companies
in the state or northwest is the Trip
Farmers Cooperative Lumber COM
psny, which for the past IS months
has conducted a yard here. The com
pany claims that during the past year
it saved the purchasers of lumber here
and in this vicinity Il sun of not
less than S25, 900, as the price OF
lumber has been lowered at least one
third since the yard commenced bust
ness. During 1912 the company sold
lumber and other building material to
the amount of SAT, 0C0. The total sales
since the yard was started IS months
ago reached nearly $50, 900. AT the
annual meeting of the stockholders,
which has just been held, it was de-
cided TO declare q dividend of s per
ceot for IS months. and each share
holder will receive s6 for each share he
holes. During the past year the ex-
pense OF running the yard was only
7 per cent of the gross income. After
paying the dividend there will be u
comfortable balance in the reserve
fund. The company has a capital of
s11 800.

rather sorry to have them go, for their
songs that rang out through the open
doors during the nild weather, were
appreciated. 1t seems that the two
wanderers came into town with the in
tention of making their home in the
Jail during the winter. from all ap-
psarances, for their first move to make
their presence known was to steal some
clothing from a store and offer to sell
it nearby. When they were given
only a five and 10 days. sentence by
the Justice they seemed much pnt out
and disgusted.
Hudson-The peace ard dignity of
the dry town of Hudson was badly
shaken up when parties shipped sume
intoxicating liquors to the place and a
half dozen men drank so deeply thereof
that they became ~inseusible TO every
thing that the people thought was
decent and honorable. The bunch was
arrested and placed in the town Jail.
The interior became a target for their
smashingup, aud il presented a pretty
d~ilapidated condition after they had
been In there for an hour or more.
Some sympathizing friends managed
TO break the lock on the Jail door, ard
they were given their liberty, which
they retained only for a short time.
All of the party hut one appeared in

OPIUM LAWS
China Furnishes for the Cultiva-
ton of the Poppy

Hankow, China, Jan. 22.-State
ments have been received from seventy
five missionaries in the twelve pro-
vinces regarding opium suppression.
The general trend of the evidence is,
according to the Central China Post,
that the new regime, where it is well
established, is more thorough than 10
the old four provinces, and that the
death penalty has been inflicted ia
several instances Of ~otfensss against the
opium laws.
Szechuan Honan, Anhwei and Che
kiang are using troops freely to prevent
poppy cultivation Kweichow province,
which has been unsettled since the
revolution, is given up to opium grow
ing more largely than ever, but the re-
mainder of the reports are generally
favorable. all agreeing that the present
officials desire the suppression of opium
growing.
Some poppy sown this winter will
be found in the hill country and over
lands, where rule is lax, but it Is
d ubtful that the crop will be allowed
to come to harvest. Anyway it will be
infnitesimal compared with the years
before the suppression began.
All the reports are that Human pro
vince, which was recently cited as an
instance of relapse. is virtually clear Of
opium crops and that the suppression
OF the sale and smoking of opium is
severer than ever Absolute prohibit
ton is enforced in many parts, and it
is noticeable that Ichang, which form
eTly had an m opium export,
now exports none.
The price of opium is ut present far
higher than formerly in all parts of
China. In some places the increase
in price is t~wentyfold, indicating the
strength Of the suppression movement

CATTLE RUSHING
Results in Great Loss to West
ern Stockmen

Belle Fourche, Jan. 22.-Word of
one of the largest cattle thefts in
Wyoming in many years has just been
received by local cattle men, who have
been asked to aid in the search.
When the fall roundup on the
range was made in the Big Horn,
Wyo., country last fall it was found
that oyer 1000 head of cattle were
missing. They had been ranging on
the Ten Sleep Big Horn forest resel We
and were the property of Milo Burke,
%. W. Arnett and q. A. Sutherland
all well known cattlemen in the sBig
Horn country.
The cattle had been stolen during
the summer Even when the loss
la found, the owners made nothing
public, but employed private detectives
to trace the cattle. For some time it
was thought the cattle were still in the
state, but it is now believed they were
gradually run over iuto South Dakota
or some other bordering locality. The
value of the stock stolen amounts TO
over $50, 600.

AFTER SEVEN YEARS
Divorced Couple of A Juror
County are Remarked

Chamberlain, Jan. %. Remarked
after having been divorced for a peri
cd of seven years, is the latest episode
in the lives of John b. Trip, and
mis- former wife, prominent residents
of Aurora county. Differences caused
their separation more than seven years
ago, and after a time divorce pro
ceedings were instituted and a divorce
decree was granted.
Recently the cid love was rekindled,
With the result that they decided to
remarry and spend the remainder OF
their lives together. The latest knot
was tied by Rev. Mr.. Van Ruschen,
pastor of a White Lake church. They
kept treir remarriage a secret fol- a
period of twenty-four hours, hut their
children were SO delighted that after
the expiration of that time they could
keep the secret no longer and gave the
facts Of the remarrriage to the public.

LEGISLATURE
The Senatorship Has Right of
Way-Some Bills

Pierre. Jan. 22.-Legislation has

giving way to the senatorial fight.
Only a few bills have been introduced
but it is expected that a food of
proposed laws viii fairly bury the
legislators after the vacation which
will, it is expected, begin in a few
days.
Only $50, 900 will be asked for by the
capitol commission for the construction
OF a lake near the capitol grounds and
the identifying of the grounds. The
first draft of the bill asked for $40. 600
in two annual installments but the bill
as presented is reducel in the hopes
that it will pass in its present form.
The erection of a. $25, 900 residence
for the governor is contemplated In a
bill which was introduced in the senate
yesterday. While a home for the chief
executive of the state is desirable. II ia
highly probable that ihe bill will fail
as there are many demands Gu the
state funds by the various state insti-
buttons. The bill would have the
residence erected in n year. An
other objection to the official residence
is that it would necessarily entail a
large number of social duties which
are not required under the present
system and expense of maintaining it
would be large.

with the progressive wing everywhere
in the saddle, are under way.
The new scheme contemplates put

groomed for president in 1916.
A policy Of Cancellation is to be in
voked. In the Novemer election more
than half the republican party went
over to the bull moosers. IL is believed
that if Borah, La Toilette, ct al,
should become the recognized leaders
of the G.. o. p. "a goodly percentage
of those who strayed from the fold
might be induced to return.
According to the new plan, the old
republican leaders like Penrose of
Pennsylvania, Crane of Massachusetts,,
aud Barnes of New York, would retire.
leaving the field to the men who would

new progressive party.
Senator Borah will sound the keynote
of the reorganization plan in a speech
at a Lincoln day dinner before the
Union League club in Baltimore when
he will talk freely on how 70 rejuven.

will be followed soon after by a tour of
the south, in which the Idaho senator
will make 10 or 12 speeches on the
