Inquisitiyeness a Popularity.

One OF the peculiarities Of the human race
is said to be it's inquisitiveness, or desire to
become familiar with other peoples bust
ness, and ss this peculiarity is being dem
onstrated every day, by all classes OF peo-
pie there seems to, be good excuse or,thofe
who are caught in the act. The "iDquisi
tive" representative of tho WATCHMAN re-
Gently called on Mr. A. G. Smith Of Barre,
the proprietor of Smiths Celebrated Cure
for Rheumatism, whose advertisements
have appeared for some d ne in this paper
for the purpose OF learning the particulars
and details OF the business.
II was found that MIR, Smith placed this
remarkable remedy Uor certainly it has
proved itself to be remarkably upon the
market about six years ago, selling direct
to customers through agents and mail or
ders. Although starting in a small way
through the recommends OF those who have
us, d IL with results perfectly satisfactory,
ever selling upon its merits, IL has worked
It's way "Onward and upward" until il
stands 10 day every way worthy of the
name "Celebrated." Mr.. Smith has many
letters and testimonials received from suf-
ferers who have been curtd d which proves
all he claims for the remedy, nOtwthstaDd-
ing the fact that rheumatism IL one OF the
wors diseases with which mankind is af'
fiicted to he successfully treated There Is
no questian in the minds OF those who have
used the remedy or those like the reporter
who through interest as we'll as curious re-
search have investigated / = merits. but that
the difficulty can be overcome In great
measure by toe use OF Smiths Celebrated
Care OF Rheumatism, the Greai Blood Puri-
ii T.

SUICICDE In BARRE.

John II. George, aged 20, had been sick
In bed since Friday. He had been living
with FL. III. Northrop, his stepfsther. He
got out OF bed this morning while he was
left alone, obtained Winchester rifle, re-
turned to his bed, placed the muzzle Of the
rifle TO his b. ad and discharged the weapon.
The top Of his head was blown off and his
brains we're spattered over the head board.
Mr.. Clark entered Dartmouth college
four years ago, He had been earning the
expenses OF the course, and would have
graduated in the class OF 1901, bat had been
set back by the necessity OF earning the
funds for the continuance of his course.
Mr.. George was born in Cabot, the son OF
Albert George, ana brother o. Dustin l..
George, who ,nisted in 90. H.. at Mont
pelier, regiment of volunteers for the war
with Spain. Subsequently he enlisted again
went to the Philippines and was killed there
in April 1901
Mr.. George had been employed in Olsrk's
Photographic studio. He had been in poor
health and his labors and studying to keep
along iu his college course had probably
disturbed his mental balance. The case is
an extremely sad one, and enl SITS the SYM
pathy OF friends and acquaintsnces.

MONTPELIER, VT. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER l6, 1901.
WILD GEESE DEPART,

People looking beavenward yesterday
deserted a large flock OF wild geese flying
soutward In their harrow.shspe formation.
An observer in this city counted fifty in the
flock, which may or may not have been the
same expedition that w II. Granfield, liv.
ing on the old Montpelier town farm in Ber-
lin, saw on Sunday afternoon. This flock,
Mr.. Granheld says, numbered about one
hundred. The geese were flying very low
and he could have reached them with
rifle shot. Mr. Granfield thinks this move-
ment OF thts3 heralds Of cold weather is
early, and is induced by snow in Canada,
some regions OF which are white with snow.
Speaking OF the appearance OF deer,
Mr.. Granheld says he saw near his place
last year some twenty-five OF these animals
but has not seen one this year. not even
track. One reason for the disappearance,
he believes, Is Sunday hunting, and there
fore the non-enforcement OF the Sunday
hunting law. Men and boys, with guns
and dogs not to mention rum-are all over
game-frOm a chipmunk to a grizzly-they
can stir up. In this way game is driven
away further back into the woods and
among the hills. The Sunday law against
shooting should be enforced for the protec-
ton OF game as well AZ on the score of
morals.
Undoubtedly there is much undiscovered
killing out of season, Remnants of the
carcass Of a deer were recently found in
some nearby woods, the best part having
been taken away. 1t Is unquestionably
true that indiscriminate Sunday hunting
is responsible for much injury to the sport
ing interest and the Sunday hunting law
ought in al reason to be enforced.

thieves among us. Last April a
family by the name of Hodgkins
moved from Morrisville into house
on Fred Prindle's farm on the Hyde
Park road. The man worked for Mr..
Prindle. His family consisted of a
wife and two girls about 10 and 10
years of age. The girls seemed to
spend a large share of their time CON-
ing to the village and lettering
around the stores, always carrying
bag with them. After a time the
merchants began missing articles and
began to watch the children more
closely. Last Wednesday they went
into W. II. Nye's store and asked to
try on some shoes. While there Mr..
Nye noticed the older girl take q
pocket-book from her bag and pull
ing the tag off, and showed it to her
sister. Mr.. Nye stepped to the tel9-
phone and asked Mr.. Mcfarland if he
had sold her one and on his replying
no, told him to come over. He did
so and identified the pocket-bOok and
lOuuu S6N6Edl OUu6I dIJlCltb III 'uO
bag That afternoon armed with a
search warrant and accompanied by
an officer Messrs Nye and Mcfarland
visited the house and searched it.
They found stolen goods hidden in
every conceivable place, under the
mattresses of the beds, in the drawers
and wherever there was any chance
to cover them. Nearly fifty dollars
worth of goods were found including
gloves, ribbons, stockings, shoes,
belts, laces, corsets, dress patterns,
umbrellas, etc. Most of the goods
belonged to Nye and Mcfarland, but
some were identified by Miss Nellie
Hunt. The whole family is under
arrest and it will be determined later
who are the really guilty ones. 1t Is
quite evident that there was some
one back of the children.
