MAY BE FOUL PLAY.
J. Ware Foster Has Been Missing Tor
Nearly a Month.

Nearly mohth'
J. Ware Foster of Denver, Col, son
of superintendent of Water WORKS
loci Foster of Montpelier, has disap
peared from Denver and his family
and friends do not know what has be-
come of him and those who know
him best suspect foul pay.
Mr.. Foster is one of the most trust
ed and popular young men OF Denve";
where he lived with lis wife and
daughter.
The last of December Mr.. Foster
wired the National Life Insurance Co
of this city, which company he repre-
sents at Denver, that he was coming
to Montpelier soon and early in Jan
uary lie left Denver for Chicago
where he stopped at the Auditorium
hotel and has not since been heard
from.
His father heard all that was known
about the case over two weeks ago,
but the best was hoped for and it did
not become public here until yester,
day. Western papers have printed
stories about the disappearance but
all were vague and unsatisfactory.
When Mr.. Foster left Montpelier
he went to Omaha, where he had a
position in national bank and was
rapidly advanced until he babe fair to
become the head OF the institution.
He was also for a time connected
with a bank at Douglass, Neb., and
at both places as IN Montpelier, he
was universally popular
Though young he was appointed
national bank examiner and was af-
terward made receiver Of a wrecked
bank at Cheyenne, Wy. lie was also
appointed receiver of private trust
company at Cheyenne. Such was his
ability that when he cleared up the
affairs of the bank it paid out doJble
whatever the directors themselves
were expecting.
Ills business in Denver was in good
and there is no known rea-
son for his disappearance. As is al
ways the case, under similar circum-
stance. ugly rumors have been circu-
lated, but there is the best OF evidence
TO show that they are wholly without
foundation and not deserving Of ere

BRADFORD BANK FAILURE.
Loss by Fire fastened
the Collapse.

Ii appears that the failure of the
Bradford Savings Bank and Trust Co.
was FASTENED by the hand of Provi-
dence, so to speak. 1t came about
through the burning of Touring
mill in Nebraska, involving a loss to
the bank OF $1,000. In its already
straitened condition the bank could
not stand this and Inspector of FL
nance Mann ordered its winding up.
The depositors will have to wait for
their money, but will be paid in full
sometime as fast as resources can be
realized on. The banks capital of
$50, 900 and as much more from the
stockholders can be required if neces-
sary. The banks experience with
Robert +. Straine, the copper pro-
motor, was in large degree respon-
sible for its heavy losses of late. The
committee appointed to investigate
the banks condition only few days
prior to itsfailure reported the follow

The Bennington Retormer having
intimated that every argument en-
ployed in favor ofMcCullough for gov
ernor is equally applicable to w. Sew
ard Webb, the Free Press makes au-
thoritative reply that Col. Webb is not
a candidate for any office. 1t then cat
alogues at length the various services
he has performed for the state and
broadly intimates that while he is not
a candidate for anything this year he
stands in a receptive mood toward the
governorship some other year. As

Every little while one sees in news
papers reports of gold discoveries in
Vermont. Sometimes they cause a
local tlutter for a short time, after
which nothing is heard of them. The
precious metal undoubtedly exists in
small quantities in the soil, but so far
attempts to make Vermont gold min
ing pay have proven futile. The find
is always in the drift" and the rich
bed rock is probably hundreds of miles
away, if indeed, it has not long since
been ground to dust and dispersed.
State Geologist Perry states that a
hundred dollars have been sunk in gold
mining ventures in Vermont for every
dollar returned. By the way, statistics
show that on an average more money
is invested in the mining of gold and
silver than is ever retained to the
world. It's largely gambling chance,
and hardly an even one at that.
