Robbed a pop Factory,

Burglars entered the pop factory Of
Charlie Cox, on East Harvey avenue,
last night for the third time this
summer, and stole quantity Of costly
favOring extracts. The money till
was burSted open, but nothing except
a few pennie, in change was taken
from it. Mr.. Cox had disposed OF his
money before the banks closed, and
in this he was very fortunate.
The burglars secured entrance to
the factory by breaking in an east
window. A south window had beer
left open and the side screen door was
only latched, but the parties over.
looked these two places Of entrance
and broke the glass out Of the east
window. The window through which
they entered last night was the one
pried open on the occasion of the two
previous burglaries, and this leads the
officers to think that the burglary last
night was committed by the same
parties who have been uothering Mr..
Cox during the summer The bur-
glars are evidently strangers 10 the
city who have a systematic plan OF
"raising the wind" by stealing flavor
ing extracts and peddling It through
the country and small towns. The
aavOring taken last night was Of the
most expensive kind. Mr.. Cox is un-
able to state just how much wal

Republicans say that the low price
In silver is due to Overproduction and
that legislation would not raise It's
price. They thought differently 10
1870. Their congressional hand book
dated September 1890 claims that the
passage Of the Sherman act increased
The price OF silver, which was IS cents
at the beginning OF Harrison's ad-
minlstration, to sl.20 per ounce and
that all the products Of the farm
similarly advanced. The wheat crop
OF 1889 sold for "A little less than 10
cents bushel. The price September
1890 had increased to sl.o2i. Then
the hand book boldly asks, "SHALL
WEsAGAlN ROB OUR SELVES
OF the rewards which have so richly
come from the RESTORATION OF
SILVER, and once more play into the
hands Of foreigners who have been
for years buying our silver at low
prices and using it against us in the
grain markets Of the world?" There
has been decided change on the part
OF the Republican party since then,
hasn't there? Just now they would
answer that question with a loud and
unanimous yes.-Burliugton Courier.

The Ea1rs
 Ever since the ''Zoo" arrived in town Sunday evening, there has been commo- tion. Mon lay each train that arrived was loaded with express, and the railroad people realized that it is fair week in Staf- ford. Tuesday, the first day, the weather was fine. During the day the hall exhib- it's were nearly all strengthened out. In the department of agricultural products there is about the usual showing. The other part of this hall, devoted to fancy work and exhibits of merchandise, will, as usual, please the ladies. The poultry exhibit is larger than ever. The midway exists, with it's usual attractions. The "Zoo" is the best drawing card, but the cane man, the Atlanta exposition, the fat girl and the caterers are all doing busi- ness.
 The stage attractions are unusually va- ried and excellent. James Irwin, the fly ing trapeze artist, is all that is claimed for him. Both trios amused the crowd, and the acrobats and jugglers in their va- rious acts helped to fill in the chinks be- tween the races.
 The bicycle races were the leading attraction for the first day. There was not the usual interest, owing to the fact that Newton is away. Bicycle racing without Newton is about like ''Uncle Toms Cabin' with no "Little Eva" for Stafford people, If Newton had been in the races there would have been four or five hundred more people present, aud ready to do little roofing for him. The first event on the card was the half mile open amateur In the first trial heat of this race there was bad spill. Nearly all the riders went down, but no one was hurt. In the final heat c. H. Drury of Winchendon won, T. J. Grady of Chicopee second, and A. R. Freeman of Versailles third Time, 1.07 2-5. The one mile handicap, profes- sional, had three starters. It was loaf ing match, and was won by F. Baron Stowe of Conway in 2.21, from the 35 yard mark. Bowden of Providence, the scratch man, and Kelleher, of Springfield, fol- lowed him over the tape in the order named. A time limit of 1.10 was placed on the half mile open professional event. It had to be run over, and was won by Kelleher in LOS. Stowe took second, and Bowden was third. In the mile handicap,

 The annual town meeting Monday drew out large vote. The license question was the principal issue. There were 728 votes cast and 715 people voted one way or the other on the license ques- tion. Of these 369 voted yes and 346 no, leaving majority of 25 votes for license. This result was not wholly unexpected. The town is republican by 70 majority us- ing the vote for auditor as the test. Last year using the same criterion the town was republican by 129 This indicates that either the republican voters staid at home or else there is growing demo- cratic sentiment in town. M. B.

 On the arrival of the train with the big Boston Zoo at the depot, Sunday evening, it was found that there was trouble in the large wagon containing the cages occupied by two large black bears and one large wild Russian boar. The animals had been separated by thick board partition, but in some way the bears had broken through, and were engaged in terrific combat with the wild boar. The cage was red with the blood of the enraged beasts, who were fighting for life. The keepers were called and did all they could to sep arate the combatants. Their efforts were of no avail, as the beasts were engaged in a death struggle, and could not be sepa- rated by means. As last resort Prof. Hass, the courageous lion tanner, entered the cage of the enraged animals, and after a hard tussle with them succeeded in quell- ing the riot, and replaced the broken par tition. The professor received several knocks and was covered with blood. The bears retired to their corner and licked their wounds, but the wild boar was done for, and died in short time from loss of blood. The boar was valued at $25O.
