views of the majority OF Western Congre So
men, says:
The States OF the central West have high
reputation throughout the Union for the ex-
cellent quality OF their schools. Michigan is
certainly unsurpassed IN the country for Its
primary education. Even the Northwest, as
FAR away as Iowa and Minnesota, has framed
remarkable system OF popular education. But
there is evidently somewhere in this school
system screw loose The pablo instruction
has not taught the masses to think.
We hasten 10 assure our New ork cotempo-

convinced us that a majority OF the educated
people Of Michigan do not favor imitation in
any form, and its leading journals are uuani-
nous on this point"

HORRIBLE CASE OF RAPE AND MURDEE

HORRIBLE CASE OF RAPE AND MURDER
AT ST. ALBANs.-A terrible double crime
was perpetrated In st. Adams on Friday
afternoon last, the details of which arc
briefly as follows: Miss Marietta Ball, a
daughter OF Mr.. George w. Ball OF st AL
bans, was employed in teaching school 10
the district known as 81. Albans Hill, In
the southeastern part Of the town. She fire.
quen " went at the close Of the week TO
the house of one Foster Page, about a mile
distant, to pass the sabbath. On Friday
last she finished her weeks work al about
half-past three o'clock and set out for Mr..
Pages. The way there is quite unfre-
quented, and for three fourths OF mile is
quite hidden and lies a'ong the woods
edge. She did not reach Mr.. Pages, but
no alarm was felt at this as she might for
some reason have gone to her home in the
village instead. But on Saturday afler-
noon 1t became known on inquiry betwee
the two families that she did leave the
school house as previously supposed. The
neighbors Immediately rallied and q search
was instituted, which resulted in finding
the girls lifeless remains about one o'clock
Sunday morning in pasture opposite 10
the woods above named. Her head was
mangled as If beaten with stones and the
evidence OF outrage 10 her person was I'M
mistakable. The crime was committed In
the woods. The blood and foot prints there
and the traces by spots Of blood from whore
the body lay clearly indicating the very
spot on which the terrible deed was perpe-
trated. No traces to the perpetrAtor OF this
shocking crime have yet been found. Two
persons are under arrest on suspicion, hut
there is no evidence against them. There
are reasons for believing that the murder
was committed about four o'clock. Miss
Ball was well known in 81. Albans, and
was in every way a worthy young lady.
Her age was 20 years. The authorities OF
st. Adams have offered reward Of $4,000
for his capture.

Hereafter he must cut his own feed, or

"A sail accident occurred 10 this town
on Tuesday, July 2lst. Charles NJ. Miller,
son OF Rev. r. d. Miller, q former resident
OF this county, but now living In wost
Newbnry. had been spending his summer
vacation with friends In Gill. with some
companions, near the close OF the day
named, he went 10 a small natural pond
for an evening bath. As be was wading
into the water and begin ming To swim. his
cousin heard q sort OF pleading sound from
him and fastened TO help him. Though
he sunk into the water, he was .oon brought
TO the shore, and vigorous efforts were
made TO discover signs OF life, while the
best OF medical skill was sought. But all
efforts wero in vain. From bis appearance
while In the water and aftcr bis removal,
1t was thought that it was not q case Of
drowning, but that the blood was so driven
to the lungs and head by tue coldness OF
the bath as to cause congestion and the

received internally. Young Miller was 10
years OF age and had in mind a thorough

A letter by the American sculptures,
Miss Hosmer, 10 the Boston Advertiser,
gives the fullest and most satisfactory refu-
tatien which Mr.. Healey's charges against
the American artists at Rome have yet re-
ceived. These charges, contained in let
ter in the New York World of March 10Th,
stated that certain American sculptors in
Italy, especially Mr.. Story, Mr.. Simmons
and Miss Hosmer, were dishonest artists
in that they took credit for works which
were In reality chiefly done by Italian as
sistants, more artisans at $3.50 day. Mr..
Healey's charges rested entirely on his own
authority save that he referred to a certain
Italo- American sculptor, Antonio Piatti,
as able to testify fully as to the corrupt
practices of Mr.. Story and Miss Hosmer
especially. The present letter OF Miss Hos
mer very properly opers with copy Of a
statement signed by Patti in which he de-
mics any knowled 70 whatever of the cor
rupt practices sverred by Healey, or that
ne ever furnished any information on the
subject to him. Miss Hosmer's statement
Of course disposes of the charges against
Mr.. Meade, as we'll as those specially men
toned in her letter.

death we reported recently, was born in
Brattleboro Aug. 9th, 1892, and was mar
ried to Isaiah Richardson Nov. 23d, 1915.
She was the mother OF ten children, nine
OF whom lived to be settled in life. Half
century OF her life was passed In active
duty upon one farm, and they then moved
to the village OF West Brattleboro, where
they have resided since 1865. The good
and faithful wife and devoted mother went
to sleep ON the morning OF the Sd OF July.
Her children were all here to assist and
comfort the father and lay her gently away
In her peaceful home. The last chapter OF
Proverbs is history of her life.

THE CONSCIOUSNESS PRosPECTs.-Ac-
cordlng to present appearances, the cotton
crop OF this year will amount to nearly
four million bales ; the wheat crop through
out the country will be large, as also will
the corn crop. Money Is abundant and
cheap, not only In the commercial centers
Of this country, but In Europe. Interest is
less by a third or half than last year at
this tune. However quick or great may
be the revival OF railroad construction, II is
not likely TO create a large demand for
are such as to indicate that England and
France will take our surplus agricultural
products at passing prices. There are, then,
all the elements OF brisk trade in the fall;
and yet no one seems TO anticipate any
thing more than fair business. II there
is a surplus of money in London and Ham
burg, there is also no sale for our western
railroad bonds, and our eastern roads are
not making large expenditures. There
will be caution in investing capital in the
Northwest until the railroad question is
settled, and until Chicago amends her pro-
lection from fire. The whole country
must outgrow its sense OF having been ex-
travagant, before there will be crushing"
trade. The Summer resorts, the retail
trade, the anxiety as TO the business OF the
immediate future, all show that the people
are waiting, saving, economlzing. The
banks are able TO afford all proper aid,
and yet there is no speculation which locks
up the necessarles of life. We shall begin
In q quiet way TO regain the volume of
trade which our agricultural products, our
mills and our machine shops are the basis
Of and which is now shrunken because OF
an abundant, but unwlSe caulion.-PrOvi-

TERRIBLE WATER-SPoUr AND Loss or

visited by terrible water-spout last FRI
day, which flooded the town and swept
away In the flood from 25 10 40 persons and
as many houses. II had been raining with
great violence from early in the morning
TIL noon, when a cloud burst on LOFTY
range OF mountains 10 the eastward, and q
vast volume of water rushed down the
canon where the town Is located. The
eastern part OF the town was flooded In ten
minutes by fearful rush OF water, which
was constantly increasing In violence,
depth and impetuosity. The people in that
portion OF the place we're hemmed in, and
every moment houses we're torn from their
foundations and swept away with their
occupants. Ropes were procured and q
line formed, and brave men, thus protect
ed, dashed into the torrent and saved many
lives. The flood lasted only half 40 hour.
