RELICS OF BOOM DAYS.
Played Out Boomers Shipped East as Cox

Played Out Boomers Shipped East as Cox
ey Freight.
. Fergus Falls, Mimi, May SAN industrial
organizer, who was here with wing of the
''army,' in an interview said that $1,000 was
raised in Butte to help take the army which
he was organizing from the West to the
East. He says that other cities in the West
are raising large sums to send unemployed
workmen East. They care nothing about
the effect the movement is expected to have
upon legislation, but it is cheap and
popular way to return to the East large
army of men which travelled West during
the boom days on the coast and which are
now drug in Western cities. While the Or
ganizer was here a wealthy man gave him
list of 104 undesirable citizens, and offered
him $40 head for as many of them as he
would take East, the money payable when
he reached Pittsburg, SO that the men will
drift back at once. The West, it is asserted,
has been getting the undesirable citizens of
the East, and is shipping them back by
the freight train load.

Babies on fire, babies burning up, babies in

and burning skin and scalp diseases. None but
mothers realize how they suffer. To know that
a single application of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES
will afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep,
and point to a speedy cure, and not to use them
is to fail in your duty. Think of the years of

WAITING FOR RETURNS.
Result of Elections Anxiously
Awaited by All Parties.

Tuesday night almost every person
in town was anXiously awaiting the re-
suit of the general elections. Returns
were received by courtesy of the New
England Telephone Co. at the clubs and
the rooms were filed till late at night
which crowds eager for news of any
kind. Democrats seemed to derive lit
tie satisfaction, though many Of them
said they were glad the Republicans
were winning, especially in New York
city and state.
Almost the first dispatch received
was that New York had gone for Nor
ton by As, 900 and that Strong had been
elected mayor of New York city. Later
returns increased their majorities,
though none were high enough as COM
plete returns show.
When Boston was announced as CIV
ing a Democratic plurality of only 5000
the crowds everywhere went wild, and
again when Kings election as repre-
sentative from Walpole where the Re-
publicans had majority of y. 1t is
more than 20 years, we are told, since
that town was carried by Republican,
it generally giving about $50 majority
for the Democrats. And Alstead, to
the surprise of all, was Republican by
a small majority.
The nearby towns heard from, atten-
ton was again turned to the affairs of
distant states, but returns came in slow
because the telegraph and telephone
wires were demoralized by the storm.
Such as were received, however, gave
evidence that the snow storm which
swept the country Monday night and
Tuesday had buried the Democratic
party almost out of sight under an ava
lanche of Republican votes.
When Alabama was announced as
being saved by the Democrats, adhe-
rents to that party heaved sigh of re-
lief and went home. But few dispatch
es We're received after II O'Clock, but all
knew that the country had been saved
and that the Republicans would have a
majority in the next house.
A few bets were made on the result
in New York state, but Hill money
was scarce even at 10 to /. About the
only thing the Democrats did save was
their money.

ROBBERS BOLD WE'RE THEY.
Exp erts Open a Safe Without Ask
inC Leave

We can now consider ourselves up to
date. Bellows Falls has at last been
favored with visit from professional
burglars, though but few if any people
saw them as no public reception was
held. While the little towns around
us have been excited from time to time
by cracksmen, Bellows Falls has es-
capped until last Thursday night, when
the safe at Wheeler's laundry was
blown open and the contents carried
away. The safe at the Office of the
Mountain Spring Brewing Co., in the
"bottling house" over the river, was
also attacked, but the burglars failed to
make connections.
Entrance to the laundry was proba-
bly, gained through the double doors in
the front, as they were left unlocked
and none of the windows appear to
have been forced. AS near as can be
learned without interviewing the
knights of the jimmy, the break oc-
Cured about / o'clock. A half inch
hole was drilled over the safe-lock,
which was Diebold, and the powder
poured in. The hole was then threaded
and a plug screwed in. A smaller hole
near the bottom of the safe afforded en-
trance to the fuse which exploded the
charge. The combination lock was
blown to pieces and the inside of the
door which holds the bolts in place was
cracked off. Only SCI in cash was
found, but the burglars carried off the
inside box containing Mr.. Wheeler's
private papers. OF these there was but
one of value to anybody but MI. Wheel
er, and that was bond of the New
England Loan and Trust Co., with a
coupon on which the interest is now
due. The bond is registered and if of
fered for sale will doubtless lead to the
capture of the burglars.
After completing their work at the
laundry the men went to Underhill' IS
lunch room and purchased some sand
Miches, which they had done up i'm a
paper. The string with which the
package was tied was afterward used
for fuse in the attempted break at the
bottling house. There one charge was
exploded but failed to produce the de
sired result and second attempt was
made. But they had bored the upper
hole too deep and the powder, instead
of falling into the lock, fell inside the
safe and the fuse did not reach it.
When the safe was opened the next
morning about half pound Of fine
rifle powder was found inside.
The men evidently knew their bust
ness thoroughly, but did the work a
little too well on the second safe. Nc
one heard them at work and no suspi-
cious characters were seen about the
streets.
Mr.. Wheeler is going to put placard
on the safe for future midnight visitors
informing them that the safe is open
and they are at liberty to help them.
selves.
Several towns in the state were visit
ed by cracksmen last week. A burglary
at st. Adams, Friday night netted the
participants $500, and gang tried tc
break the Peoples national bank at
Swanton on Thursday night but failed
