NIGHT BELLY AT OFFICE
' WILTON.
The funeral of the late professor
Olmstead at the Congregational church
on Tuesday afternoon was one of the
, largest held in this place in many
\‘cars. -Yale 0111 as of 1845 of which the
Professor wasc member was rep1esent-
ed by Mr. Peet, for many yeais Super-
intendent of the Deafand Dumb asylum
of New York. Many of the. former
pupils of the Wilton Academy came to
pay a last. tribute of respect to their
teacher.
The regular monthly meeting of the
selectmen,-at the Town House, was an
upusually busy one owing to the large
attendance of citizens with, or who
were requesting, Town Orders for work
performed upon the snow banks since
the big snow storm. It is estimated
that the clearing of the streets will cost
at least $500. _ .
The heaviest gale to strike Wilton in
many years arrived Sunday night and
did much damage to trees and build-‘
logs.
The roof of Joseph Headding’s house
in North Wilton was blown off about
10 o’clock, and the family were awak-
ened by a downpour of rain, which
flooded the building. No one was in-
jured, however, and the family made
themselves as comfortable as the c-1-.
cumstances would permit during the
night.
A search for the missing roof dis-
closed it safely resting in Strong Com-
stock’s orchard, about one hundred
feet from the house.
Mr. Headding estimates that the
damage will foot up to about $100.
T. T. Merwin’s valuable colley dog,
died on Saturday. It is feared that it
was poisoned.
Ayaluable horse owned by August
Schlichting died last week.
Miss BeSSie Thomas, 0f Stlc'lmford‘i 1.13081. were averse to it, bemuge the ob-

day. ,
The regular winter timetable .went
-into effect on Sunday. The most im-
portant changes for local patrons are
from 9: 34, to 10:2 7 parish, in the morn-
ing, and the change in the evening lo-
cal which now leaves at 7:16 instead of
6:05 p. m. The express south now
stops at this station at 4:55 p. m. The
only change in the local mail service is
in the last mail south which now
leaves the post office at 7:05 p. m., in-
stead of 5:55. The post office now
closes at- 7:30 instead of at 7 o’clOck.
S. W. Olmstead is ‘unloading a large
consignment of coal at the depot.
R. H. Fitch’s big white dog is “ lost,
shaved or stolen.” A suitable rewaid
will be paid for his return to the post
office.
The unfinished bit of road near H
G. Thompson’s has been the cause 01

load of hay belonging to David Jenks
toppled over on Saturday and a. carriage
belonging to T. F. Gilbert broke an
axle at the same place, the day before.

GIGANTIC MILL COMBINE
Breadstufl‘s of the Worldw in the
Hands of a Trust. 2
PROMOTER McINTYBE 1101113,
Hc-Retnrns 'to Amellca Aftei III-laying Ens
gineered Ono- of the Most‘ Importint
Deals of the Century. Combined llIilis
lilave a Capacity of 95,000 Barrels Per
Day. m I G
Thomas A. McIntyre, known in Wall
‘street as the great combiner, returned
from England yesterday on the White
Star liner Majestic. ,
During the few menths he was
abroad Mr. McIntyre, with the aidof
the British stockholders, succeeded in
uniting the leading flour mills of the
United States into a trust which will
control the breadstuff output.
The magnitude of the gigantic com-
bination can be better understood when
it is known that the mills in the deal
have a daily capacity of ninety- five
thousand barrels. They use per diem
five hundred thousand bushels of
wheat, produce ten thousand tons of
.mili feed, and rep1esent capital to the
amount of one hundred and fifty mil-
lion dollars.
This combination was the idea of the
American stockholders of the following
concerns: 0
Pillsbuxy- V‘Vashburne mills of Minne-
apolis, Hecker- Jones- Jew ell . mills of
New York, Imperial Mill Company of
Duluth, Anchor Mills of Duluth, Daisy
Mills of Duluth, \Villiam Lispman
Mills of Superior, Wis, Minkota Mills
of Superior, “71s., Daisy Mills of Mil-
waukee, and the Northwestern Con-
solidated .Flour Milling Company of
Minneapolis.
A large percentage of the stock in
these mills is held by English capital—
ists, and without their" consent the»
ed.
_ As the Englishmen, "when first ap-
proached on the subject of the gigantic
mt of the scheme was to shut of!
competition and raise. the price' 01‘.
flour exported from this country, Mr.
McIntyre was consulted and be con-
sented to talk the foreigners into the
proposed plan.
Accompanied by his wife, Mr. McIn-
tyre went to London. After a. fight that.
at first seemed almost hopeless, Mr.
McIntyre finally succeeded in convinc:
ing the English stockholders of the
Pillsbury- Washburne mills of the de-
sirability of a combine.
Before doing so, he found it neces-
sary to cable last October for Richard
Glynn, president of the Pillsbury-
Washburne Company to come over to
England.
Mr. Glynn finally lndorsed the pro-
posed scheme and the foreign stock—
holders yielded. This broke the oppo-
sition to the combination, and the Eng
lish stockholders of the other concerns
acquiesced in the idea. ,
Thus a giant flour trust, which will
practically control the entire product
of American mills, supplying three-
fourths of the civilized world with
breadstuffs, .was formed.
Mr. McIntyre, when asked to-day
concerning his mission abroad, admit-
ted that it was in connection with the
flour trust and that he had been ’suc-
cessful. .«
He declined to go into particulars,
saying that he wanted to learn how
matters stood on this side of the At-
lantic before he would consent‘to an
interview. He was not surprised that
his friends in the Produce Exchange
had announced the great combination
and Mr. Nash of the Hecker-Jones—
Jewell Company had confirmed the
news of the deal.

STAMP TAX CONTROVERSY.
Register Says He is Not Required fb See
that Siamps Are Afilxed.
New York, Dec. 9.—There are no de-
velopments in the controversy between
the register’s office and the United
States secretary of the treasury over
the filing of papers and legal documents
in the Office of the register without the
revenue stamps required to be affixed
by law.
Register Fromme reiterates his opin-
ion that the law did not put upon him
..the obligation of seeing that every le~
gal document filed in his office had a
revenue stamp attached. He says that
the obligation of fixing the revenue
stamp belongs to the person filing the
document and that failure to do so
putsthe filer in the' light of disobeying
the law.
Colonel. Robert Williams, who inves-
tigated the papers filed in the register’s
office, and ascertained the number of
those which did not have revenue
stamps affixed, holds thatit is the duty
of the rezlster’s office to enforce the
law, in so far as it comes within the
jurisdiction of that office.
It is likely that the matter will be
tested in court.
It is said that the government has-
lost a hundred thousand dollars by
failure of persins filing legal documents
in the rcglster’s office to put the reve-
nue stamps on the same.
At. the Navy Yard.
Brooklyn, Dec. 9.—-The cruiser Brook~
13m and' the battleship Mabsachusetts
will leave this port on Saturday next
to join the North Atlantic squadron
for the regular manoeuvres under

Roads.
The cruiser New Orleans will also
report there and become part of the
squadron. She is now being fitted up
with steam heat. At present stoves are
being used to warm the vessel, the in-
tense cold having sent one mm to the
hospital already.
The New Orleans was built for tropi-
cal regions and no provision was made
for heating.

The Surgeon-General Tolls the War Com
mission of His .Army Work. ' -
Washington, D. (1., Dec. 9.—The ’cori—
duct of the medical service of the army
was taken up yesterday by the war
investigating commission, and Surgeon'
Gegeral Sternberg was 'questioned in
regard to his administration of that de-
department, he said,
only for, an army of
The, medical
was ’ equipped
:twenty-five thousand when the war
br’ike out, and from year to year the
estimates he submitted had been Ina-,3
terially reduced by Congress in a. pol«
icy of economy of appropriations.
--When~there was ‘a prospect of war he
began preparations without expense.
He had models of chests made he
said, and equipment developed. but
when he suggested to Secretary Alger
the propriety of making purchases for
his service “the policy was to wait.”
At one time as many as six hundred
and fifty contract surgeons were ‘em-
ployed, mostly from thirty to forty
years old, with hospital or active pro-
fessional experience.
When permanent camps were estab-
lished in this country he did not know
that they were to be permanent.
He conceded that it was a mistalv1
not tohave appointed more contract
surgeons from those who had experi-
ence {in the civil war, as their experl~
ence would have been invaluable. but
,he was ignorant at the outset of the
permanency of the camps.
The regimental surgeons, he said.
Were good, bad and indifferent; but he
recollected no instance of dismissal for
incompetence.
At the outset the maximum capacity
of the division hospital was two hun-
dred and fifty beds, but unis was found
inadequate.
He could not recollect whether the
chief surgeon at Camp Thomas repor-
ted that the sanitation was bad. The
department now, he said, has ample
evidence that typhoid cases during the
war were largely mistaken for malarial
fever until the cases reached the di-
\ision hospitals, and that malaria had
been diagnosed as typhoid.
