WESTMINSTER.
burglars at work.

Westminster station was broken into
last Thursday night During the day Fri
day the station agent was telling of the
loss of few boxes of cigars, also some
S15O in cents, and said the thieves over
looked an express package containing a
watch awaiting its owner which they might
have easily taken, and Saturday morning
it seems the depot was found broken into
again, and the watch was taken, also an
other which had come by express during
the day. This, we believe, is the third
time in as many years that the depot has
been invaded in a similar way. The cir
cumstancas point to a pilfcrer near by. We
hear that the Walpole station was broken
into Thursday night, without anything of
value being taken also that Mr.. Howard $

entering the railroad station at Walpole.
Thursday night, where they got 80 cents,
they entered the houses of W. g. Barnett
and ~. +. Burt. Considerable pains were
taken to get something to eat. At Deacon
Barnetts entrance was made in three diff
ferent places to get at the refrigerator, the
pantry and the cellar. The same men,
probably, robbed a man on his way to the
depot, taking about IS in money and
frightening him so that he broke into the
house of Is. +. Webster for protection
from pursuit, making his entrance through
a glass door. He was arrested but con-
WINGED the officers that his story was true
and that he was only victim and not a
pal of the burglars.

4 Loss to Vermont Dairy Interests.

The jersey COW, "Garella," which was
taken to the Worlds Fair a few weeks ago
to compete for dairy honors, is dead. She
was the pride OF the Billings herd Of Wood
stock; indeed, the pride of Vermont. for
she had no peer in the state, perhaps not
in the country. After reaching Chicago
she dropped a bull calf, and subsequently
milk fever developed, from the effects of
which she died. Garella was entered in
four classes, and there was reasonable eX-
pectaton that she would have been a prize
winner in all, and the best in classes where
she stood on her own individual merit
alone. Her loss, especially now, is great
one to the Billings herd, to the dairy tests
of the Worlds Fair, and to the prestige of
Vermont in dairy matters.

Strange Condition of Things az Fail
River.

The mill situation at Fall River, Mass,
has reached the strangest condition ever
known in the history of the cotton indus
try in that city. Wednesday morning sew
eral treasurers of mills received notices
from their banks that there was difficulty
in paying checks in currency. Substan-
tally the notices say that banks will here
after honor no checks in money, but will
endeavor, as far as possible, to take care of
deposits already made. The effect of this
action will be widespread and may call
for a total suspension OF operations on the
part OF the mills Treasrers who are re-
ceiving checks daily from Boston, New
York and Philadelphia will find them of
no value in procuring currency to pay
wages. The mill could pay in checks that
would be honored at the stores, but they
are not likely to adopt that expedent

Dangers of the Season,

The sudden changes in weather in the
latter part OF the winter and early spring
are a source of colds and coughs. This
season is q particularly dangerous one for
persons with weak lungs or of delicate
constitution. A slight cold is likely to
become a serious one, and the cough that
follows Is che one great cause Of the many
deaths from consumption in the early
spring. Never neglect a cold or cough.
Keep a reliable remedy on hand and check
the first cough that may lead TO consump-
ton. As such a remedy the medicine
called Kemp's BaIsam Is strongly recon-
mended. For every form OF throat and
lung disorder, including the la grippe
cough, group and consumption in first
stages, it probably has no equal anywhere,

A MASS MEETINGl

A representative audience met at the
court house Tuesday afternoon in order
10 discuss and protest against the action
OF the people of Higginsville, to establish
a branch court, or a division of the circuit
court there. By the establishment of such
a branch court unnecessary expenses
would be added to a county, already over
burdened with debt. For this reason and
not because of any narrow selfishness On
our part, do We most vigorously protest
against such a proceeding.
w. g. McCausland called the meeting to
order, and Judge Joseph F. Smith, pre-
siding justice of the county court, was
chosen chairman of the meeting; after
which secretaries were selected.
John s. Blackwell then explained the
object Of the meeting, and moved that a
committee be appointed to draw up a set
Of resolutions protesting against the es-
adjustment OF such u court, this COM
mittee to report Saturday afternoon.
Upon this committee tn hair appoint
ed Messrs. II. A. Hicklin, U. G.. Phetzing,
s. j. Andrew, VIM. Young, j. s. BlacK-
welland j.. G. McGrew.
1t was then moved by Mr.. Hicklin that
the secretaries write Messrs. Bledsoe and
Miller for information concerning the
bill. Carried.
1t was then moved that a committee OF
seven be appointed to take charge Of this
matter and il necessary visit Jefferson
City, clothed with all authority, and pre-
sent the facts to the committee of the
legislature showing why the court should
not be established.
The chair then appointed the committee
as follows: Messrs. VIM. Young, James
G. McGrew, r. d. Bledsoe, DIR. Ragland,
j. c. Young, John Welborn and r.. A.
Hicklin. On motion Judge Smith, chair
man, was added to the committee.
While the meeting was in session the
following telegram was received and after
it was read 1t was decided to hold another
meeting February 18th, this afternoon,
at 2 o'clock.

Messrs. Leo Keller, c. Ben Russell and
Zach w. Wright were appointed as a COM
mittee of finance.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
this afternoon.
Let all attend and show in a fitting way
our active and earnest protest against an
unnecessary and expensive division of
courts in the county. One such blunder
will lead to others and the county will
500 become involved in incalculable
trouble.
