their skin trimmings as if by magic, and
there is a very springlike look about some

founces, and in al cases the chiffon is
black, with sometimes small black ostrich
feathers falling softly over the big neck

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, April 2.-Su-
perior railroads and street car lines are
completely blockaded by snow, and the
thoroughfares Of the city are prac-
tically impossible. A terrible blizzard
has been blowing since noon and there
is no indication of abatement. Tele-
graph lines are seriously interrupted
and the telephone service is entirely
discontinued owing to the entangle-
ment Of the wires by the heavy wind.
Two lumber jacks who started out on
foot from Iron River to walk to Su-

they finally reached the railroad, when
a passenger train was tagged and they
were taken aboard. Two of the num-

Montpelier Sensations.
Very truly,
Mrs. GEORGE BACON.

What might have been murder was
frustrated Wednesday noon. 1t seems
that James Conlln of Boston came to the
city Sunday morning and went to the home
of his wife, who obtained bill of divorce
last fall, and made such disturbance that
Police Officer Wood was summoned but
before he arrived on the scene Conlin had
disappeared and could not be found. II
also appears that he had a grudge against
Larry" McMahon, who is polisher at
the stone sheds of Lynch & Mcmahon and
yesterday afternoon went there and asked
permission to see Larry" which was
granted. He entered into a somewha,
heated discussion with +" Larry and was
told by him :" to go about his business. =
whereupon he gave utterance to a threat
and attempted to draw 7-shot 80 calibre
revolver from his hip pocket, but the ham.
mer caught on the lining OF his pocket and
" Larry" discovering his intention, struck
him in the face, knocking him down
With the assistance of the workmen he
bound Conlin and Police Officer Demeri,t
was summoned, who, upon his arrival.
placed Conlin under arrest and after somt
resistance on his part lodged him in the
county Jail.

What Mckinley is and What he Is not.

The following statement has been given
out by the editor of the Cleveland, Ohio,
Leader, newspaper which, perhaps, more
nearly represents Mr.. Mckinley than does
any other paper in the United States:
persons who pretend to be conspicuous
members of the A. p. A., have given cir
culation to the statement that William Nc
Kinley is a member of the Ancient Order
Of Hibernians that M. A. Hanna, who is
Mr.. McKinley's personal and political
friend, is Roman Catholic; that Mr..
Boyle, Mr.. McKinleys private secretary,
is also member of the Catholic church,
and, finally, that while Mr.. Mckinley was
governor Of Ohio his appointments were
largely made from the membership of a
certain religious denomination. 1t is
urged, therefore, that Mr.. Mckinley is not
the right kind Of an American.
"This statement is untrue in part and in
whole. Mr.. McKinley's Americanism
reaches back to the war for independence.
William Mckinley himself was a private in
the Union army while yet boy and car
ried musket for four years. He is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church
and has been member of that denomina-
ton nearly all his life. His ancestors and
his family for two centuries have been
Protestants = Methodists and Presbyte-
rians. At this time Mr.. Mckinley is one
of the trustees of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church Of Canton, o.
Der of the Ancient Order of Hibernians nor
of the American Protective Association.
However, he is Free Mason and has
been for many years; he is Knight Tenn
plar, Knight Of Pythias, comrade of
the Grand Army of the Republic, mem
Der OF the Union Veteran Union, of the
Sons of American Revolution, Of the Loyal
Legion and of college fraternity. And
these are the only secret societies with
which Mr.. Mckinley has any connection
whatever.
1.-The charge that his appointments to
offices while he was governor of Ohio were
largely made from the German Catholic
church or any other church, is ridiculous,
and untrue. He believes that all men
should be permitted to worship God in the
manner that squares with their conscience.
u am authorized to say that Major Nc
Kinley knows nothing whatever about the
application of committee from any organ
ization to visit him at Canton. He has
never refused to meet any person or COM
mittee of any kind, nor declined to have
any committee interview him upon any
subject whatever.
at should also be stated that both M.
A. Hanna and Mr.. Boyle, who is private
secretary to Major Mckinley, are lifelong
members Of the Protestant Episcopal
church.
81 make this statement in behalf OF
truth, so that every American citizen may
know the exact facts"

The New School Building.

The committee on the new high school
building, after sundry deliberations. have
chosen the architect, G. w. Buckham of
Burlington, and matters are in fair way
to be pushed as rapidly as is consistent
with good work. 1t is expected that Mr..
Buckham will have his plans perfected in
about one week, and then bids for con-
struction will be received. 1t is doubtful
if anything is done on the actual construc-
ton in much less time than one month.
Mr.. Buckham was one of five competi-
tors and is considered thoroughly COM
petent architect. The fact that the new
building must be so constructed as to per-
init of additions being built on when
necessity requires has delayed matters not
a little, as the committee has had consider
able difficulty in agreeing on just what the
plan should be.

Sabin bridge, then bending to the north.
crossing G. l.. BARRIERS farm and keeping
north Of Saxtons River the entire distance,
thus obviating the necessity Of building any
bridges. Mr.. Coolidge went over both
these routes carefully, and seemed to think
the highway more feasible. The road
would have to be Strengthened in places
and the river crossed at two points. MIR.
Coolidge said that the track could be laid
over the Sabin bridge provided it was
stout enough, thus leaving the construction
OF new bridge at Saxtons River village.
The bridge there is an old wooden one and
will have to be replaced in few years any
way. 1t is estimated that a new iron bridge
large enough for the accommodation OF the
electric road and highway travel would cost
about $500.
In answer to questions Mr.. Coolidge
said he should advise the formation of a
company at once, and the opening of the
books Tor subscription of stock. He esti-
mated that the road could be built along
the highway and completely equipped for
passenger and freight service for 100000
at the outside. He thought that the OBJ
lection to going in the highway because
horses would be frightened amounted to
but very little. Horses are never afraid
of electric cars as of steam cars and soon
get accustomed to them.
Another route discussed some was leav-
ing the highway at Sabin's bridge, crossing
C. L. Barber's meadow and again crossing
into the highway short distance below
Mr.. BARRIERS farm.
1t has been generally understood that
Mr.. Coolidge or some one else stood
ready, after all the stock had been sub
scribed that could be locally, to take the
rest, or sufficient amount to put the road
through. But this somebody" this out
side capital does not materialize very rap
idly. Mr.. Coolidge was asked how much
stock he would take, but made an evasive
answer saying he would take some.
1t would seem that about the only thin g
to be done now, is organization and strenu-
GUS effort made to place the necessary
stock. A thorough canvass by authorized
agents of an organized company would very
soon determine whether people are in ear
nest in this matter, and whether there is
any outside capital ready to supplement
local subscriptions.

Corner Grocery.

This is the name Underhill Bros. have
given their new quarters at the foot of the
Old Terrace and tasty and convenient
quarters they are too. The store proper
is 40x 20 feet fronting on Atkinson street
and is conveniently arranged and well
lighted by four large windows by day and
by electric lights by night. In the rear
are ample accommodations for storage.
The store is in every way superior to the
one until recently occupied by the firm or
Canal street.
The proprietors will have the lawn ii
front of the store nicely kept and provided
with settees for the accommodation o.
weary wheelmen and the pedestrian public
No doubt this will be an advantage that
many will appreciate and profit by.
