UNWRITTEN LAWS.
Randolph Herald.

The unwritten law again triumphs
over the written code, this time at Rut-
land, Vermont, where husband who
slew his wife was acquitted last week
by a sympathetic jury on the ground Of
temporary insanity caused by his wife's
alleged unfaithfulness. 1t has become
almost impossible in this country to
convict a wife who kills her husband or
his supposed paramour under such cir
cumstances Shrewd criminals and
shrewd lawyers lose no opportunity to
introduce alleged infdelity and result
ant loss of reason on the part of the ag-
grieved party as defence. One may
well question how much is real and how
much feigned, and in most cases there
is measure of doubt concerning the
actual existence of illicit relations al
legged But despite all this time and
again killers are brought to the bar and
indicated that's the word rather than
acquitted.

c Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be

CURED by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Cararrhal Deafness
is caused.by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are. caused by catarrh, which is an
nhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts through
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

VERMONT COMPOSER DEAD.

Silas Gamaliel Pratt, aged 70, a con-
cert composer and pianist, well-known

After tour abroad he returned to Chi
cago and composed the Lyric opera

rected the Chicago Grand Opera festival.
Afterwards he became a resident Of

Europe he again became a resident of
New York, where the most important
of his compositions were brought out

DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION.

Because the imaginary line which
separates the city from the town of
Rutland "cuts" in two the caretaker's
house on the p. w, Clement estate, in
which they live, four children belonging
to Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Shequin have
been deprived of going to school. W, A.,
Bebee of Proctor, superintendent of the
union district in which the town Of
Rutland is located, discovered lately
that the city of Rutland has been get
ting the poll tax which Shequin pays and
he decided that the city should educate
the children. The ensuing dispute which
is still unsettled has deprived the chill
dren for seven weeks of the education
others are receiving.

BRAKEMAN KILLED.

A, j. Schefke, a Boston and Maine
brakeman, aged about 80 years and
whose home is said to be at Mechanics
vile, was almost instantly killed in the
North Bennington yard of the Rutland
railroad about II o'clock Tuesday fore
noon, One or more cars passed over the
young man and his body was cut al
most in two at the waist. Actual de-
tails Of the accident are difficult ia
obtain but it is presumed that Schefke
was on the rear of a freight car tight
ening the brake when he fell to the
track. The accident occurred while
the crew were shifting cars in the
yard,

BARBARY IN KENTUCKY.

Monday, in a Kentucky town, two
negroes were lynched and their bodies
burned afterwards. One was accused
of attacking woman in her home, and
the other one of approving the action.
The Jail was broken into, the guards
overpowered and the negro accused of
the act taken by the mob, the other
being found on the street.
People who do such things have no
respect for Christianity, law, order
or reason. Considering the advanced
times they are more barbarous than
the early Indians. The savage acts
committed by the Romans against the
Christians were not great deal worse.
These repeated acts by the people
of that section of the United States
very forcibly shows that the passion
for doing savage things is not COM
pletely extinct as is supposed by some.
These kind of people should live
near the Mexican border where they
would deal with bad MeXicans in a
similar manner and sometimes in turn
get a dose of their own medicine. Mob
rule isn't apt to be just and should be
put upon the shelf as curiosity.

EXPECTATION OF WHEAT.

hIOtou
A move on the part Of the bakers to
try to get Wilson to stop the exporta-
ton of wheat from the United States
to the war countries such as is con-
templated would be wise and probably
would reduce prices of flour and baked
foods.
But nation wide strike of bakers to
gain that end would be the proper
thing. They would get what they
wanted then, in short order by doing it
that way say nothing about the paper
that would be saved by preventing
Wilson from writing many notes.
Taking this matter seriously it would
be mighty good thing to limit the eX-
portation of all food products, that we
are short of ourselves, wheat especially.
We should look after the welfare of our
own country first,
If the warning nations could not get
GRUB" they would have to stop scrap

FIRE SET BY BOYS.

The old ellis barn at lrasburg, owned
by the f. l.. Chandler company, was
completely destroyed by fire Sunday
afternoon. The building cantained 10
tons of hay and the fire was probably
set by three boys who were seen run
ming from back of the building about
the time the fire was discovered. The
village fire department saved the near
by buildings which caught because of
the stiff breeze which blew toward them.
Part of the time the fremen were
obliged to be protected from the flames
by large door which other helpers held
over them.

MILDRED BREWSTER RELEASED.

Mildred Brewster, with the exception
of few weeks eight years ago, an in
mate of the State hospital for the in

she was acquitted of the murder of
Annie Wheeler on the grounds of in
sanity, has secured her release. Judge
Fish issued an order Tuesday in County
court placing the woman in the hands
of Sheriff Frank H. Tracy. The officer
will accompany her to Bellingham,

SKYWARD PRICES.
Bennington Banner.

Potatoes have taken another jump
and are now Sl.25 per bushel in many
places in Vermont. With flour above
$40 barrel and going up the pros
pect for people of small income is not
very bright. At the same time there
are probably ten thousand good farms
in Vermont either not cultivated or so
nearly dormant that they produce
little. These farms are mostly in the
market at a very low price. AS The
Banner has often remarked the best
opening in the country for a man of
moderate ability is on farm, if he
knows something about the business
and is willing to work as hard as he
would in a shop or factory.

ABANDONED ON DOORSTEP.

A baby boy was left on the doorstep
of C. w. Skinner of East Bloomington
early Sunday morning. The child is
said to be about Is months old, healthy
and weighs about 25 pounds. 1t was
dressed in old clothes and wrapped in
horse blanket. 1t looked as if man
had cared for it for some time and it
seemed better contented with men
than with women. The only idea that
the authorities have where the baby
came from is that an automobile was
heard by Miss Elsie Skinner, daughter
of Mrs. Skinner and a teacher in the
Irasburg schools, about 400 a. m. Soon
after she heard child crying, but
thinkingi was the baby of her brother
she paid no attention to it until later
when she was again aroused. She
went to the door and found the toddling
child. The selectmen were called and a
temporary home found for the deserted
baby. The affair has stirred up the
entire community and the authorities
are doing all in their power to locate
the parties responsible.

FIRE DRILLS.

The practice of holding fire drills l.
being kept up in the public schools OF
Rutland, and the celebrity developed in
getting out of the buildings may prove OF
great value in some emergency, although
it is hoped the emergency never Will
come. Rutland's persistency in main
tainining the drills should be emuIated in
every community in Vermont. We fear
that the comparative freedom from ter
rible holocaust for some time may have
caused slackening in the efforts along
this line in some places of the State.
There should be no lessening of the eff
forts to provide for the safety of the
children.

Mortified was visited by a dis

the Mortified House was destroyed,
and several business places damaged.
The fire loss was also accompanied by
the loss of life of one woman and the
near escape of scores Of others, which
made it particularly felt, Mortified is
now without hotel, but that thriving
town has the spirit to build another,
which no doubt, will be more modern,

BEAR HUNTING IN BENNING-
TON.

The skin of one of the largest bears
caught in the vicinity of Bennington in
years is nailed to the barn door of the
home of Homer A. Lyons on County
street. The bear, a female, was trapped
near Hunters Rest and the skin and
skull were brought down from the
mountain by Mr.. Lyons Saturday night.
Mr.. Lyons estimated that the animal
would weigh fully 275 pounds which
would make it one of the largest ami
mails of its kind captured in this vicinity
in a number of years, Few large
specimens have been taken in Ben
nington county inrecent years, proba-

given sufficient time to grow up before
they are either shot or trapped.
