A VICIOUS ASSAULT
MADE IN BELLLIaE ON A WHEELING
NAN.
Elmer Foster, Driver hr & B. Wheat Tr-
ribly Bsaisn-Ths 2ssst hr Charles Iowa
0ihss Criminal News

An assault occurred yesterday after
noon at Bellairs which resulted in
the serious, II not fatal woundIng OF
Elmer Foster, OF Thirty.frst street, OF
this city.
About three o'clock iu the afternoon
Foster, who Is q driver for the Paost
Brewing Co., OF the South Side, stopped
at John Mccafiery's saloon in Bellaire TO
deliver some goods. Little Black SchultS,
son Of Squire Schultz was told by Fos-
ter 10 hold the team while no went into
the saloon. Foster delivered the goods,
but some objection was made to them,
and the driver called up Mr. II. B.
Wheat, the manager, by telephone and
asked what he would do In the matter.
Mr.. Wheat promptly told him TO load
the stuff aud bring II back 10 the city.
Foster started 70 do this aud after he
had gotten ready TO 90 the trouble COM
menced. A couple OF bottles OF beer,
into which some person bad put
| couple OF stogies. were standing on tho
counter and indicating those, the BAR
Keeper asked Billy Martin, who was la
| the saloon, II he had "evor sold any
| beer like that" Martin, who had boen
a barkeeper In Cullom's saloon when
they had bought beer from the Pabst
! Company, replied that he had. Foster,
In defense OF the quality OF the liquor
which his employer sold, called Martin
a id liar" Martin then struck him,
IL is presumed with one OF the beer bot
ties mentioned. Two very ugly gashes
were made in the back OF the head, just
| at the base OF the brain, and the local
| lty OF the wounds looks very much
| like the man was struck from De-
hind. After being hit Foster
staggered TO the sidewalk, climbed upon
the wagon aud drove about square,
where ne stopped 81 another saloon,
went IN, laid himself down on tho table
and uuconsciously called for his wife.
From that time he has been unconscious.
| DR.. West, OF Bellaire, was called ana
he advised the removal OF Foster 10 tho
Wheeling hospital. In the meantime
| Mr.. Wheat had been teleph0ned
and ho sent down his bug
gy for the injured man,
in which he was brought home. He
was taken TO a room oR the second

case is that his wife lies seriously ill 10

of the fathers who sought divine aid in
their struggle to maintain an existence

and devotion we owe our national lie
l therefore appoint Friday, the 9TH day

A chill was sent courslng down the
spinal columns OF democratic editors
throughout the country by the
recent announcement that none OF
the craft were to be eligible tofavors
from the Cleveland administration.
Hot applications were subsequently
made, however, by a denial; and it
now seems probable that the faithful
newspaper men will not be left
wholly out in the cold. While
editors of that persuasion are scarce
in Vermont, there are two or three
"eligibes" whose expectations will
run high; and there certainly seems
now to be considerable hope for the
Poultney Journal man and Others Of
that political denomination who
have had an eye on the post office,
for instance, Luck to them.

The destruction of fremont Temple

wholly destroyed, and it will be i'm

The ambiguity of the new school law
in its clause regarding the distribution of
the public money is exciting considera-
BILE discussion. The town system takes
effect April 1, and the division of money
is to be made on the oath. 1t appears
that the law gives the money to the dis
tricts and not TO the towns. Under the
new law, however, the districts have no
function and the matter is left in a mud
de Burlington Clipper
Nothing very muddling about it,
after all, The division of the public
money comes March oath. The dis
tricts are in existence then, and con-
tinue so for week thereafter. Con-
sequently the division on the Oath
must be to the districts. Why not?
And so far as the settlement OF its
pecuniary affairs are concerned, the
district organization holds good
after April LIST.

FREE TEXT nooKs AGAIM.

With a year and a half yet to in
tervene before the legislature can
take any action on this matter, the
discussion OF the free text book ques-
ton now may seem at first thought
to be not timely. But the inttoduc-
ton of the town school system calls
attention anew to this theme and sug-
gests the thought that the people of
the state may well consider free
text books as topic OF Importance
to be dealt with by the next legis-
lature, not. inconsiderately and i'll
adviSedly as was done in the closing
hours OF the last session, but care
fully and with view to giving the
people whatever benefit there may
be in provision for free text books
AT the recent meeting here of
school directors, Superintendent
Stone was questioned as to his opin-
ion of free text books, and spoke
emphatically in their favor. Speak
ing from an economic point OF view,
he cited the case OF two towns,
where the school children were
about equal in number-the one in
Orange county, this state, and the
-other in Massachusetts, and drew a
comparison. III the latter town,
with free text books, the years
schooling had cost several dollars
less, per pupil, than in the Vermont
town.
There are other reasons, aside
from economy, that make desirable
the adoption OF free text books. The
work of the schools is greatly facil-
tated thereby, because on the open
ing day the books are ready Tor the
pupils without delay. And they
have been selected, too, not by the
parents, with a view to getting as
much book as possible for the price.
with little regard to whether or not
they are too advanced for the pupils
best use but by the school boards,
with special reference to the scholars
needs for the term or the wear. as
the case may be. The inability of
many parents to provide, at a spec-
ned time, all the books needed, is a
serious hindrance to the work of the
school, and often proves an injustice
to the pupil. The supplying of this
equipment by the town would lift a
burden from many shoulders, and
make possible the securing of better
results throughout the schools of
the state,
1t was limited at the meeting men
toned above that the publishers are
not eagerly urging the adoption of
free text books. But Vermont is not
called upon to consider the interests
of the publishers in deciding this
question, She should stand by her
boys and girls, and she can do no
less than furnish them every possible
educational facility, The new town
system of schools bids fair to prove
one move in the right direction
Free text books would be another.

The New Jersey legislature has
passed, and the New Jersey governor
has signed, bill making horse.rac-
ing for purses or prizes unlawful in
the months of December, January
and February, and imposing heavy
penalties for violation. This is ex-
celent, so far as it goes. But, to the
casual observer, making any distinc-
ton between that species of gamb.
ling in the three months mentioned
and similar performances during the
rest of the year is drawing the line
very fine. But New Jersey is pc

That the sea still has its perils, in
spite of modern inventions looking
to the welfare of travellers, has been
impressed on the public mind again
the past week by the anxiety felt for
the steamships Sarnia and Naronic.
The alarm over the Sarnia grew out
of the fact that she had broken part
OF her machinery, but the vessel was
finally reported at Halifax. The
fears for the Naronic, however,
prove to have been well founded,
and it is now pretty certain that, en-
