In order to prevent any goods from
being taken from the store Mr.. Starkey
was directed to put a new lock on the
door. Mr.. Starkey thought it well to
Investigate little, and entering by
window on Friday, accompanied by
Mr.. Schwenk, Mr.. Vinton and Mr.. Bar
Der, the contents of the dry goods
boxes and the parcels on the shelves
were examined. The pasteboard
boxes were of the regular dry goods
pattern, out when they were opened
it was evident that Mr.. Marcus had
worked a game in the class with the
gold brick swindle. Some of the boxes
on the shelves contained excelsior,
others were filled with waste paper
clippings, and a few contained floor
sweepings. The boxes in the big dry
goods cases contained a similar value
less assortment, although some of the
unpacked boxes were entirely empty
In the big boxes were found boards
similar to those around which dress
goods are wound. These boards were
covered with paper, while at each end
was a band of velvet or satin. tackled
to the board on the back. If these
boards had been placed upon the
shelves they would have appeared to
have been rolls of velvet, satin, etc.
Marcus and Goldsmith probably ex-
pended $40 to $50 in putting up the
shelves and in making the repairs in
the store, and there is probably suf-
ficient value in the shelves to Offset
Mr.. Vinton's claim. The dry goods
boxes will sell for enough to pay the
cost of making out the attachment
papers, so that the sheriff and the
lawyers will get their fees. The jew
elry firms are out the entire value of
their consignments.
It is supposed that Marcus was a
name assumed by the Jew, who knew
that there existed a genuine Marcus
for whom the New York houses would,
say good word. D

Odd Fellows Block a Coed Investment
for Wantastiquet Lodge-What It
Costs to Be an Odd Fellow.

The Odd Fellows of this section
have reason to congratulate them
selves on their prosperity. The mem
bership of Wantastiquet lodge is now
substantially 435. For some years it
has been the largest in the state.
Burlington has two lodges. with the
exception of that city it is probable
that Brattleboro and vicinity have
more odd Fellows than any other
place in the state.
Oasis encampment has a member
ship Of about $50, and the Rebekah
lodge has a strong membership. One
thing which has been successful in
increasing the membership in the en-
campment has been the wearing of
the encampment purple collars in the
lodge. 1t caused the lodge members
to feel that those around them wear
ing the encampment collars had gone
higher. This caused a considerable
number to apply for membership in
the higher branch.
The subordinate lodge is strong not
only in membership but also financial
w. Nine years ago the lodge pur-
chased what is now known as odd
Fellows block for $4,000. The sur
plus of the lodge then amounted to
$4,000. and that sum was paid on the
principal. 1t was mortgaged back
for $4,000. The income from the prop
ertv since that time has paid all the
charges. kept it in a good state or re-
pair and reduced the debt to $1,000.
In other words it has earned $4,000 for
the $4,000 invested. Putting it in an
other way, the investment has earned
more than eight per cent yearly in
place of the four per cent the money
was earning before.
About two years ago there was talk
of moving the lodge quarters there.
The property was thoroughly exam
ined by Dwight Smith. He reported
that the walls were not strong enough
for. hall purposes. 1t was then decid-
ed to keep the property for invest
ment purposes.
The lodge has no considerable fund
aside from what is invested in the
block. It has a standing offer of
$4,000 for the property. but has no
desire to sell. The amount paid out
every year for the care of the sick and
in benefits, in one form or another, is
large. When member is taken sick
he is entitled to 81 a week for 10
weeks. For the remainder of the
year, if he is sick as long, he is en-
titled to 50 a week.
The death benefit is 800 for a
brother and $25 if his wife dies. In
cases of severe sickness watchers are
furnished as long as necessary. The
dues are 81 a year In addition, there
are assessments for the watchers
fund and funeral benefits. For the
past ten years the dues and assess
ments have amounted on an average
to S7.22 a year.
There is a per capita tax of so cents
a year on each member for the sup
port of the Odd Fellows home at
Ludlow. There are now only eight
inmates of the home. with room for
something more than 20. The gift of
Mr. Gill has been of much benefit.
The gift of Gen. Mccullough recently
| of $500 for a needed barn at the home,
is appreciated by the fraternity

trict in carrying out the ideas of the

election will come next year.

are involved. Some time ago an oflic. ial Of the treasury department having Nogales as hls headquarters wrote the department that be had reason to be. lieve the official force at that point was corrupt, and that Chinese in large numbers were being smuggled across the border for consideration. A se- cret service operative was sent there Ut once and plans laid to secure evidence against the persons under suspicion.
 Several Chinese were furnished with money and sent on to buy their way through the official cordon. This was accomplished without difficulty, the price demanded being from $50 to S20O The secret service men also ar ranged with one or two employees whose honesty had been tested to go into the collectors office at certain time and demand share of the money being received from Chnamen. This was reluctantly agreed to and consid. erable sums were handed over in the presence and full hearing of secret service man, who had previously se- creted himself Tn nearby office closet The utmost care and secrecy was main tained from the first to secure positive proof against each man under suspi- cion, A special United States attor. ney will be detailed to prosecute the persons arrested.

CHARGES AGAINST THE CUS-
 TOMS OFFICIALS.

Pre- ss dispatches from Washington last Saturday announced the exposure of conspiracy among custom house officers at Nogales, Arizona, for the smuggling into the United States from Mexico of Chinese, duplicating Vim. NJ. Hoey. collector of customs at that port, and B. F. Jossey, Chinese in- spector at Tucson. The news came as a clap of thunder from clear sky, and caused sensation which has grown with every new development in the case. The first dispatches stated that HOey and Jossey had been arrested, winch was premature, and gave rise to doubts of the authenticity of the re ports. HoeY was at Phoenix, on his way tO Nogales from Jerome, and both he and Jossey assumed to treat the matter lightly and denied any knowledge of the existence of any such plot as was alleged, and sad the charges against them could be easily dIsproved. However, all doubts were removed on Sunday when United States Marshal McCord received war rants of arrest for Hoey and Jossey. hoey was placed under arrest Sunday at Nogales, but the warrant for the arrest of Jossey was not served for the reason that it was not accompanied with copy of the complaint
 On Tuesday morning another sen. satlOn was caused at Tucson by the re. port that Jossey had shot himself, and the public at once jumped at the con cInslOn that he had committed suicide, To escape the legal tolls and consequent humiliation. The investigation made Oy the coroner, however, seemed to Indicate that Jossey's death was acci- "ehtal and the coroner's jury so de- clared it to be.
 hoey was released from custody upon furnishing bonds in the sum of SloOO, but on Tuesday he was rear rested on sever al additional counts and ms bond raised to S5000.
