Dear Mother, when l read each tender
phrase,
Each throbbing line of love you write
to me,
My heart grows sad, and oft l count the

Until at last 1 shall sail o 'er the sea
Back, back to you and home and all
love,
And once cursed the fate that plae-
ed me here.
But, lol l caught vision from above
That steeled my heart with patience,
mother, dear,
Before my thoughts were dark with
faneied wrongs,
Of plans miscarried and of work IN
done,

And glimpsed your loving faces one

Miss Argyle Stanton died at the
home Of her mother, Mrs. D. Jacobson,
st Talbot, Tuesday, aged about IS
years, victim Of influenza. The young
lady was general favorite and her
death causes deep sorrow throughout
the community. Words cannot comfort
the parents in their irreparable loss and
the home will seem desolate for many
days, but they have the sincere SYM
pathy Of all. The bright young life
is ended. Like ray Of sunshine she
frightened the home for a moment and
was gone forever. Her brief stay here
was joy to all and loving thoughts
will linger long in the minds of her
friends. Harm she did none; kind and
loving acts many.-Jefferson Review.

Paris, March 1.-The peace conference
commission on reparation has virtually
completed its study of the indemnity
which Germany must pay to the allied
and associated powers and the manner in
which it shall be paid. The study has
been based more on what Germany is
capable of paying than on what the op-

will have to make an immediate pay

The actual money in the possession Of
Germany is less than S2,000,0 100000 in
gold and less than S600,0O0,000 in silver.
II has been calculated that something
may be- realized from German securities,
but Germany's greatest asset is, perhaps,
her public works, railways and mines.
But even on these, it is understood, the
commission has been unwilling to place
such a load as will drive the Germans to
the point of desperation.

Aquire the Recently Erected
Stoneshed of C. w. Nc
MILAN & Son
TAKE POSSESSION
FIRST OF NEXT WEEK
The Property Located on
Blackwell Street Is
Well Equipped

To meet the requirements of growing
business, the Cook, Watkins g. Co. has
purchased the G. W. Mcmillan & Son
granite manufacturing plant on Black
well street and will take possession of
the same the first of the week The
price paid is not stated Mr. Mcmillan
sells because he cannot give the business
his personal attention.
The plant and business viii be incor-
porated by the Cook, Watkins & Co. un-
der the name of the c. w. Mcmillan
Granite CO.. Inc, and with the additional
facilities this plant viii give it the par
ent company expects to be able to man
ufacture all its own work.
The Mcmillan plant consists of mod
ern straight shed l72 feet in length, and
it was erected only three years ago. 1t
is equipped with three-ton electric
travelling crane, a 75.H. 7. hosting plant,
a 35-foot air compressor, three polishing
machines, two surfacing machines, sand
blast, etc The new owners propose to
install saws to make the plant still more
efficient. The purchase also includes the
old plant adjoining which at the present
time is rented.
The Cook, Watkins g. Co. has been in
its present plant off Depot square only
about a year, but in that time has found
the place not equal to the demands upon
it to turn out all the work of the firm,
and there being no chance to enlarge this
plant the new purchase has been made.
This latter plant, no doubt, will soon be
as busy as the old one.

Bodies Of Four Men Were
Found at Franklin,
Mass.
ATTEMPT WAS MADE
TO DESTROY MILL
Three Of the Bodies Have
Been Identi-
fed

Franklin, Mass, March 1.-The pre-.
mature explosion of dynamite which the
police believe was intended to destroy
the Ray mill of the American Woolen
company, killed four men, it became
known to-day. Pending efforts to iden-
tify the bodies, the police held the theory
that the men killed were carrying the
explosive,
The explosion occurred in the rear of
the mill, damaging 20 dwelling houses, the
occupants of which were shaken but suf
fered no serious injury. It was not until
after daybreak that the bodies were
found.
Chief of Police Knowlton this after
noon announced identification Of three of
the men as Eusticio Dichellis, Siverio
Dichellis, brothers, and Dominic Column
bo. All were mill operatives.
Chief knowlton said he was mistaken
in announcing that one Of the men wore
a soldiers uniform.
The concussion was felt Is miles away,
but the Ray mill, only 200 feet from the
spot where the explosion occurred, re-
ceived slight damage

fession Before the Court

ing order on the records of the court ::
"0n facts found, judgment is that said
Ernest II. O'Brien is removed from the
office of attorney-at and from the
office of solicitor in chancery," which

en-, appeared in the court in the after

Carver asked permission of the court to
be allowed to have his name entered as
attorney of record in the ease. 1t ap-
pears that while Mr.. Carver had been
assisting in the case, he has not been an
attorney of record at all. The court
granted his application and allowed him
to become one of the attorneys of record,
after which Mr.. Carver retired without
further reference to the matter. The
court then directed the order to the clerk,
as stated above, and the matter appar-
emily terminated, for the present at
least M. g. Leary, who was original
attorney of record, did not appear in
court. He is in Massachusetts, taking de

pied most of its time in studying mat
ters before it, and about o'clock came

Anna Felch Dexter to bail. The clerk re-
piled that nothing had been filed, and

Felch Dexter, be and remain in the Gus

SITUATION IMPROVING
As Far as the Poles and Ukrainians Are

Petlura, the Ukrainian peasant leader,
yesterday and discussed the armistice be,
tween the Poles and the Ukrainians and
were fayorably impressed with the sit
uation. An interallied commission which
has gone to Posen will meet a German

newal of the armistice conditions relative
to Germany and Poland.
The Polish Diet has adopted NJ. Cor.
fanty's motion providing for the calling
up of six classes of recruits for one year.
Socialist members, who advocated the
formation Of militia, voted against the

ulists declared that contrary to the dee

Senator Gay of Louisiana Announced
To-day He Would Voae for the New

announcement to-day by Senator Gay of

port the new compromise woman suffrage
resolution proposed in the Senate yester-

suffrage committee, hope Of champions Of
the equal franchise measure for its adop-
tion before Congress adjourns were
raised.
The Susan B. Anthony draft was de-
fated recently by one vote and with
Senator Gay supporting the new resolu-
ton, it wss believed that If time for con-
sideration of the resolution could be Sc
cured it might pass and later get the
approval of the House,
A resolution similar to that of Senator
Jones was reported favorably to-day by

END OF LEGISLATURE
SEEMS FURTHER OFF
The Business Is Piling Up Faster Than
Disposed Of-Make Believe Sessions
Were Held To-day.

Lieutenant Governor Mason S. Stone
and Speaker Charles S. Dana held brief
sessions of the Senate and House, repec-
lively, this morning, assisted by few
Of the "loyal ones" There were about
20 representatives present when Speaker
Dana called the House to order. Rev.
Joseph Hamilton, chaplain of the Senate,
conducted the devotional exercises in
both houses Adjournment was taken in
both cases Immediately after these eX
ercises, to meet again next Wednesday
evening at O'clock Practically all of
the legislators left for their homes yes
terday.
In spite of the fact that both houses
Of the general assembly have disposed of
a good weeks work, adjournment by
March %, which has been so much talked
of, seems rather doubtful. The status
of business at the end of this week
shows that almost as many bills have
been introduced during the week as have
been definitely disposed Of, and several
OF the new measures are important ones.
The House has reached the "scrappy"
stage of the session, and hardly meas
ure which could possibly start debate
gets by without some expression Of opin
ion. Oratorical fireworks break out
afresh every few minutes on some new
point, and there are several measures
still TO be handled which will probably
take half a legislative day apiece to
dispose of.
Before the legislators get back to work
next week, half of the week will be
gone. Only IA days will be left for do
ing business before the 22d of March, and
it is doubtful if the business in hand
can be disposed Of in that length of
time, especially when it is understood
that there are several other measures
of importance to be introduced Alto
gether, it looks as though April ! will be
nearer the date Of adjournment than the
22d of March.
