One of tho most destructive (ires in
northern Wisconsin occurred at Ashland.
Sunday. Special trains brought tho de
partments fiom washuurn and near-by
towns to render assistance. At least three
persons lost their lives and the property
loss is nearly WOO.OOO, with $3."0,000 In
surance. Nearly 20,000,000 feet of lumber
were burned.
The fire started In W. it. Durfce's lum-
ber dock. The mill was surrounded by
water and wooden tramways led to tho
shore. When the flames burst out in great
volume and enveloped the mill and tho
dock all the men except four succeeded in
retelling the tramways. The origin of tho
fire is still a mystery, but it is presumed
that a spark from some employe's pipe
started the lumber pile and V. H. Durfec's
dock. The lire soon Jumped across tho
water to the Shores Lumber company's
docks.
iVt 11 o'clock heavy rains checked tho
llauies. Peter Engcdmaii, au employe of
the Shores Lumber company, jumped Into
the bay while enveloped in flames and
sank immediately. A thousand people saw
him perish, but there was no way to render
him assistance.
The vlllace of IAnse, on Kewanaw bay,
Mich., was threatened with destruction by
a fire which started Saturday iu the lumber
company s yards. The mills were on a
strike, and It is alleged the strikers applied
the match which started the fire. The fire
destroyed the lumber docks, and 3,000,000
feet of lumber. 1 ho ore docks were also
burned. Xo lives were lost, but more than
loQ persons are homeless. Tho losses will
aggregate fully $000,000, with $1.0,000 in
surance. KiIIioii'm Fliimcopp Testeit by Hiin-

Thomas A. Edison's lluorscope was
shown Monday nlcht at the electricfl ex
position in New York, to nearly 2000 per
sons. The exposition was a great success
from every point of view. Everyone who
wished saw the bones of his hand, wrist
and forearm. The sightseers were ad
mitted through one door of the prepared
room, and immediately found themselves
in almost total darkness, emphasized by
black curtains covering the walls. The
only light, shown was one small red glass
incandescent uuiu. They were formed In
line, and each one, as he arrived opposite
the fluorescent screen, placed his hand be
hind the screen where the Kuntgen rays
could fall upon it. Tho women were par
ticularly interested in seeing the bones of
their hands through gloves and flesh, and
one clever little woman put a silver piece
inside her glove, and saw that distinctly
reflected with the bones of her arm.

ture. He tracked the animal to a cave in
the mountain. A dog got too near the
bear and was knocked over a precipice by

THE BEST

from a New York Lady for
AYER'SPILLS
" I would like to mid my testimony to
that of others who have used Ayer's
Pills, and to say that I have taken them
for many year.s, and always derived tho
best results from their use. For stom
ach aud liver troubles, and for tho euro
of headache caused by tlicso derange
ments, Ayer's Pills cuuuot be equaled.
When my friends ask mo what is tho
best remedy for disorders of tho stom
ach, liver, or bowels, my invarlablo
answer is, Ayer's Tills. Taken in sea
son, thoy will break up a cold, prevent
la grippe, check fever, and regulate tho
digestive organs. They aro easy to
take, and are, Indeed, the best all-round
family medicine I havo ever known."

A statistical report of tho farm sales,

agriculture through the statistical secreta
ry, Victor I. Spear. His report is based
ou the returns mcdo to him by the town
clerks of tho 182 t jwiis. The sales of farms
for tho past five years have been as fol

average value of
Vermont farms ha s not
varied much for
the past three years. Investments in well
located Vermont farms at present prices
arc safe, and the tendency toward lower
values which has been going on for the
past 20 years seems to be checked. It seems
reasonable that when other lines of busi
ness improve the values of farms will be
greater than at present. The year 18D5
was the least profitable to farmers in a
long time, low prices prevailing on all
farm products and tho heavy frost In May
making a very great reduction in the hay
crop. An improvement in farm methods
Is noticeable, and the work of putting In
creameries Is going steadily forward.
The reports received show that during
the year $1,001,500 has been Invested iu
new manufacturing enterprises, and that
these new enterprises are furnishing em
ployment to 1010 persons. For the past
live years the Investments in new indus
tries and persons employed has been as

In reviewing the reports iu this connec
tion for the past live years, It is found that
in this time over four million dollars has
been Invested in the various industries of
the state, which has given employment to
over 0000 persons.
No single industry has called for the in
vestment of so much capital as the devel
opment of electric light and power. Of
the many large, unused water powers in
the state reported in 1891, there are but
few today that have not been utilized, aud
the most common use made of them is the
production of electricity.
It has been veiy gratifying to note the
steady development aud increase of manu
facturing in Vermont during a time when
much complaint has been made from oth
er sections of the country as to the condi
tion of manufacturing Interests.
It is believed that theie are conditions
in the state which prove very favorable for
manufacturing, among which may bo not
ed that the help emplojed here is, as a rule,
more intelligent and capable than is usual
ly found. Also the fact that there have
been almost no labor troubles in the state
is au important factor. Also most of our
towns have appreciated the advantages of
manufacturing enterprises, and given in
ducements, either by supplying capital or
giving exemptions for a period from taxa
tion. The amount of "summer boarder" busi
ness in the state is estimated at $500,000
annually, but this figure is undoubtedly
much too low.

prises by the clerk reading letters from Mr.
Boyd, resigning the pastorate, and from
five members who havo refused to contrib

IOHS 11.
The Brattleboro Juniors played their
first game of the season at Putney Satur
day, when they were defeated by the home
team 12 to 11. Spencer, who had caught
a good game, became exhausted in the fifth
inning and his errors were costly. J. wo
close decisions which were given against
the Juniors were also factors iu throwing
four scores against them. Lewis hit the
ball into the bushes for a home tun in the
fourth Inning when three men were on
bases. Wilcox pitched four Innings and
then retired iu fa or of Johnson. Blake,
the old Bellows Falls catchcr,did good work
behind the bat for Putney. The fielding
of Cundlff.Howe and Corser was noticeably
good. Johnson s hitting was terrific, aud
Pembcr found the ball for four clean
singles. The score:

HEALElt LARItABEE.
It will interest many Brattleboro people
to know that Albert Larrabee of West Hall
fax, fotmerly well known here, has come
to fame as a healer. A correspondent from
West Halifax writes: The natural condi
tions and surroundings seem to bo very
favorable for producing healers In this vi
cinity. Whether it is to be attributed to
our pure water and clear air, the fact re
mains that if they Increase in number the
quality is fully up to date. Dozens of Mr.
Larrabee's townsmen and people from ad
joining towns testify to marked benefit re
ceived. Ills most remarkable cure is that
of Mrs. Ellas S. Prouty who certifies that
"for 4 years she could not speak ouo loud
word and after one treatment from Mr.
Larrabee she could talk nearly as well as
ever."
A Son's Tribute to Ills Mother.
The Chicago Times-Herald prints an Interview
with Charles H. PinVham of the Hnkhain Medi
cine company of Lynn, Mass., In which be re
futes the Btory, so often told, that no such woman
as Lydia K. l'lnkbam e?er lived. "Of course,"
said Mr, Pinkham, "the mere Idea of her non
existence Is absurd to me, her son, who knew her
to be the kindest, sweetest, gentlest mother ln
the world She wasall her portrait speaks her to
be, and ber whole life was given up to doing all
the good she could In this weary world. She
came of Quaker ancestry, was bora In Lynn, and
used to teach school there. For years she brewed
the compound that now beam her name on her
kitchen stove and gave It away to her neighbors.
It was only after her husband lost his property
and the family began to be in straitened circum
stances that she conceived the Idea of making
the medicine as a business.
"When she dlei she bequeathed ber place at
the head of the business to her daughter, who to
day, with years of experience and study, and by
the aid of a corps of assistants, personally attends
to the great mass of correspondence that Hows In
and out of the great concern in Lynn. It has
been the aim of the children to carry on the work
uegun uy tne inoiner in tne same spirit or Kind
ness, Lydia E. Pinkham Is more than a dis
penser of medicine. She Is a fact In history,"
