The bar at the Cottage hotel was
closed early in the evening as Mr..
Leahy had nothing on hand to supply
the trade.
The first class places had a larger
than usual patronage du ing the af-
ternoon and In the evening. Some OF
tho bars began to run short before
the closing hour and the thirsty ones
congregated at the bars which still
had supplies on hand. There was no
disturbance OF any kind and the
crowds OF spectators that had gather
ed with the expectation OF Witnessing
some excitement we're disappointed.
There were a few cases OF intoxica-
ton and much joshing. but no real
disturbance and no arrests and the
police experienced no difficulty in
handling the people on the streets.
Early this morning some practical
joke fastened bands of crepe at the
doors of several OF the saloons. At
the MMahon & Healy place on North

was attached to the door

BENNIN GTON HAS

NEW INDUSTRY
Company To Manufacture Ma.
chlnery Locates Here
LEASES SCOTT MACHINE SHOP
Originally Organized TO Do Business
In Rutlano-capltal Sock
OF $4,000

Bennington is 10 have another new
industry. The Rutland Foundry and
Machine company. originally organic
ed to establish It's business in the
city OF Rutland. is TO locate In Ben
nington. Il has leased the machine
shop of the Bennington Machine
Works established on Pleasant street
many years ago by the late Olin
Scott, and will begin the business of
manufacturing az once. The new
company has already taken posses
sion and will have a small force on
its payroll inside OF a week. The
company predicts that 1t will eyentu
ally employ SO men.
Tho Rutland Foudry and Machine
company is incorporated with CAPT
tai stock OF $4,000. E. c. Davies,
who has been in machinery manufac
turing business for many years, is at
the head OF the company. II was the
intention of the company to build at
Rutland a plant which with its equiq
ment was estimated would cost in
the vicinity of $4,000. Difficulties
we're experienced in securing a suit
able location with power privileges
and it was while the company was
endeavoring TO solve these problems
that a correspondence began with
Henry d. Fillmore. the superinten
dent, regarding the leasing Of the ma
chine shop here in Bennington. Mr.
Davies came to Bennington Thurs
day, and after he had inspected the
shop the lease was drawn and signed
The company proposes to manufac

will also manufacture by contract for
the Bennington Machine works the
special lines OF machinery for pow
der and pulp mills for which the Ben
nington concern has acquired
world wide reputation.
Members Of the board Of trade
have taken an interest in the estab
fishing Of the new industry and have
explained to Mr.. Davies the advanta
ges that could be secured in Benning
ton for the business.
The most convincing feature Of
the proposal by Mr. Fillmore was
that he was in position to lease a
fully equipped plant with sufficient
water power for present purposes at

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Pub
lie Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the sub
ject. made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the
large majority OF those whose appli-
cations are declined do not even sus.
pect that they have the disease.
According to this It would seem
that a medicine for the kidneys,
possessing real healing and curative
properties, would be a blessing to
thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, n.
Y, who prepare Or. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the well known kidney, liver
and bladder remedy. claim that iudg-
ing from evidence received from
druggists everywhere, who are con
stantly in touch with their customers
and also indisputable proof in the
form of grateful testimonial letters
from thousands OF reliable citizens.
this preparation is remarkably sue
cessful in sickness caused by kidney.
and bladder troubles. Every inter
esting statement they receive regard
ing Swamp-Root is Investigated and
no testimonial is published unless
the party who sends it is reported of
good character. They have on file
many sworn statements of recover
les in the most distressing cases.
They state that DR.. Kilmers Swamp
Root is mild and gentle in its action
and its healing influence is soon
noticed in most cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal
compound and DR. Kilmer & Co, ad-
vise all readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it trial. 1t
is on sale at all drug stores in bot
ties of two sizes-50c. and S100.
However. if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer e Co., Binghamton,

ROOSEVELT AT HOME
Colonel Has Bolls But Outside OF
That Is All Rlqht

Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Ma
naos, Brazil, Thursday evening from
his expedition through the hitherto
unexplored portion of Brazil. He was
greeted with an enthusiastic resep-
ton. Co Roosevelt and the members
of his expedition arrived in Manaos
yesterday on board a steamer sent to
meet them by the governor OF the
state OF Amazonas.
Col Roosevelt was suffering from
hollis, but was not seriously affected.
although they caused him much in
convenience and made 1t impossible
for him to stand up. All the other
members of the expedition were in
excellent health.
The former president intends to
leave Immediately for the United
States.
The journey made by Col. Roose-
welt and his companions was carried
out under particularly favorable con-
ditions. The party explored the riv-
err Castanha. which was renamed the
river Roosevelt. The river Duvida,
or river of doubt" was found to be
unquestionably the river Gyparana.
The party followed this river from
the end of the telegraph line to its
junction with the Madeira, distance
of about $50 miles. The results of
the expedition are considered in Ma
naos to be of splendid service to Bra
I'll and to science.
In spite of his sufferings from the
boils, Col. Roosevelt was in excel
lent spirits after his arrival.

CHAUFFEURS IN AGAIN
Mason Seaman Strike Ends
After Six Hours.

For the second time within week

Company, which recently took over the

official of the company, Is SIX hours
imitation of the real thing"
when the two taxicab companies
were amalgamated it appears that the
ohauffeurs Of both concerns became
fearful that they were about to lose
their Jobs. When Percy j. Holswortn,
formerly general manager OF the fel,
low Taxicab Company, was continued
in that capacity under the new regime,
the Nason-Seaman corps Of chauifeurs
went on strike last Monday. To set
their fears at rest Mr.. Holsworth re-
SIGNED and the men returned to work
the following day.
chaufTeurs on Wednesday night II was
voted to strike in order TO compel Mr.
Holsworth's reinstatement. Only about
100 of the 500 men involved were pres
ont AT the meeting, with the result
that Yesterday the greater portion OF
the drivers refused to abide oy the
strike order and reported for work.
Later in the day a conference was
arranged between A. +. Rockwell,
Chairman of the board of directors Of
the old Yellow Taxicab Company, and
the strikers. The men were assured
that there would be no discrimination
against them. They were guaranteed
work for an average of twelve hours a
day at the rate of q cents a mile.
Heretofore they averaged days Of
seven hours and we're paid at the rate
Of % cents.
The men were further assured by
Mr.. Rockwell that any other griev-
ances would be placed for settlement
in the hands of a man neutral to both
companies, and that the new general
manager, to be selected in the place Of
Mr.. Holsworth, would not be parti-
san of either side. The men returned
to work.
