Try to Starve Out Mayville
Man

Mayville, N. Y, Jan. l5-Edward
Beardsley OF Srmmerdale, barricaded in
his farm house and heavily armed, up
to noon yesterday had successfully de-
fed the efforts of Sheriff Gust Anderson
of Chautauqua county and a posse of
twenty men to dislodge him. Beardsley
is wanted for the shooting of j. w. Put
nam, overseer of the poor OF Chautauqua
county, who went to the house yester-
day on an errand of mercy and was shot
twice. His condition is critical.
After the shooting Beardsley barri-
caded himself in the house, took up a
commanding position in an attic window
and invited the officers to come and get
him. A force of deputies remained on
guard all night, but Beardsley made no
effort to escape This morning the posse
was increased and an attempt was made
to storm the place A fullisade of bull
lets drove back the officers, who did not
return the fire for fear of injuring Mrs.
Beardsley or the children. Beardsley
fired over twenty-five shots, none of
which took effect. He sent out word
that he would not be captured alive.
Sheriff Anderson and his men with
drew to a safe distance and planned
waiting game 1t is said that there is
scarcely any food or fuel in the house,
and it is not believed that the man can
hold out long.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
LITTLE FAIRIES OF THE SOIL.
They Work Day and Night.
MEADE FERGUSON.

That soils are active has long since
been an established fact, and from these
facts attention has been attracted for
several years past to the relation of
the minute living organisms of soil to
the nutrition of plants.
My own experiments with soil mi
crobes during the last ten years, in which
the microbes of nitrication have been
grown in every variety of liquid and solid
media and in different soils, have given
convincing results as to their value in
assimilating and storing nitrogen for
plant food.
With nitrate of soda at sixty odd dol
lars per ton and the end of the worlds
supply within sight of the present gem
Grafton, this knowledge has not come
too soon. Without nitrogen plants will
not grow, and few soils contain enough
to produce maximum or even fair crops
of cereals. 1t is the most expensive ele-
ment of fertilizers and in an available
form for plants the most difficult to
obtain, except through the intervention
of microbes. Yet nature has not been
so lavish in her supply of any other
element necessary to plant growth, as
something like 10000 tons of free nitro
gen OF the air rests on every acre of
the land. While scientists have been
devising means by which atmospheric nj
trogen could be combined by electricity
into plant food microbes-the minutest
form of plant life-have been quietly at
work. They have been working for
nothing, boarding themselves and paying

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Barre Residents

Many people in a misguided
effort to get rid of kidney back
ache, rely on plasters, liniments
and other makeshifts. The right
treatment is kidney treatment,
and a remarkably recommended
kidney medicine is Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Barre is no exception.
The proof is.at your very door.
The following is an experience
typical of the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills in Barre.
Mrs. May Bond, SO Sim street,
Barre, VT, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills were first brought to
my attention when | read in the
local paper how citizens of Barre
had been cured of kidney trou-
BILE by them. AT the time had
sharp twinges of pain across the
small of my back. I knew that
these were caused by weak kid
neys, so ! got Doan's Kidney
Pills and used them as directed.

WILSON WANTS
RATE DECISION
President Expresses Opinion That Early
Action on Railroad Matter Is
Important.

Washington, Jan. l5.-It has become
known here since President Wilson's re-
turn that to more than one close friend
he has recently expressed the opinion
that speedy decision by the interstate
commerce commission on the application
for permission to advance railway rates
is highly important.
1t is not intimated anywhere that in
any way the president has taken sides
for or against the application. 1t is un-
derstood, indeed, that protesting to have
no special knowledge OF the matter, he
has formed no judgment upon it.
He feels qualified to form Judgment
as to the unwisdom of needless delay in
arriving at a conclusion upon the sub
ject He has formed that judgment and
has expressed it Enthusiastically.

State Capitol ImpeYilled When Fire Is

Albany, \. Y, Jan. ia fireplace

ing Superintendent of Buildings Walsh
When State Treasurer John ]. Ken
nedy reached his office he felt need of
more heat than was supplied by the
steam heating system. So he directed
one of his office force to start fire in
one OF the fireplaces. Tn few minutes
smoke and flame burst forth above the
mantle. Clerks called for help, and
few streams of chemicals extinguished
both fires.
Mr.. Walsh examined the fireplace and
chimney and said that instead of back
ing the former with stone, the builder
had employed wood painted to represent
tireproof material. Walsh directed that
no more fires be built in the capital I'M

IN RACE
FOR THE SENATE
Roosevelt Aid May Be Named to Try
and Beat Boise Penrose
N Pennsylvania.

Washington, Jan. l5.-Gifford Pinchot,
former chief forester OF the United
States, and one of the right hand men
of Theodore Roosevelt. will be the nom
inee of the Progressive party for the
Senate in Pennsylvania.
While this has not, of course, been
finally and formally settled, the word
brought here by Bull Moose political
leaders of prominence is that Pinchot
will be determined on as the candidate.
Moreover, the signs are that he Will
make great race, and stranger things
have happened than that the successor
to Senator Boise Penrose in the Senate
shall be Mr.. Pinchot. Mr.. Pinchot is
now speaking in the state.
One of the con- iderations which will
have weight in naming the Progressive
party candidate for senator is to get a
man whom Roosevelt will support. And,
of course, he viii support Pinchot. The
nomination of Pinehot would mean that
Roosevelt would go into Pennsylvania
and campaign in his behalf.
Some talk has been current that SEN
ator Penrose might not get the Repub-
lcan nomination, but this seems not
well DdSeu. ne ms DtSu III lle sbdtc
for some weeks working assiduously.
He has undertaken the old Matt Quay
plan of personal interviews with just
as many of "the boys" as possible.
1t is not clear who viii get the Demo
cratic nomination. Some talk is atloat
OF Congressman 4 Mitchell Palmer.
Also, there is talk of Democrats and
Progressive party forces. II there should
be fusion, Pinchot might be settled on
as the candidate of the fusion forces.
1t is almost certainty the Progressive
party forces will not sanction fusion if
il means plan to get Palmer into
the Senate and to leave the Progressive
party holding the sack with some less
important office. The fusion talk is
based on the idea that Penrose must be
beaten at any cost.
