tho exception, possibly Of that relating 10
the school district system, explain themselves
The article giving tho town a chance 10 do
away with the school district system and
adopt the town system, has been placed In
the warrant by the request Of Mr. Dart. tho
State Superintendent Of Education, and ia in
accordance with n general movement which
will be made throughout the state TO indncs
tho towns TO adopt tho town system. Eyno
rienood educators, almost without execution
favor the town system, md we believe jts
adoption ought to become and will become
general throughout the state.
Last Monday night Pat Mcguire sud
Mike Manning were drunk and disorderlv
About midnight they appeared at the houso
of VIM Trendall In the south part Of the vii
lage, on the old Guilford road, and tried 70
force an entrance, though for what purpose
does not clearly appear. They broke tbe
glass in Trondalls front door and smashed
one window, but were finally driven awov
and Trendall came to the street after an oil,
Ger. Warrants we're issued for their arres,
the next day, but they evidently suspected
that they might be wanted and kept Out NJ
sight. Wednesday morning they attempted
to leave town by the owl train, but Officers
Herrick and Ais were on the look ont for
them and when Mcguire and Manning found
that the officers had boarded the train thew

for IIinsdale where they we're arrested a m.

back voluntarily, and wero taken in charge
Thursday evening they appeared before J1s

ish move for all concerned. Trendall says
there were three men in tho party who came
to his house Monday night and the officers
have good reason for believing that the third
man was Tom Austin and that it was he who
furnished the rum. Within the past SIX
weeks there has been more disturbance from
drunkenness than the town has seen before
in five years. We repeat the remark which
we have already made several times-that ugly
measures need to be taken TO stop the illicit
liquor traffic which is unquestionably going
on in our midst. The officers have pretty
good idea Of where the rum comes from
Stop the mischief, no matter who gets hit
