Thomas Vest, the railway foreman
who shot and killed Charles Fawcett,

place in the woods and run their gun
muzzles in the officers faces. Vest

Beverly by train but the district at
torney countermanded the order in
spite of the fact that it had been
whispered around that Vests friedds
would make an attempt to rescue
him. The prosecuting attorney and

take any action as their terms expired
on Monday. Their successors are ex-
pected to use every effort to appre-
bend Vest. The people are anxious
to organize n posse but have have no
leader

One hundred years ago man could
not take ride on a steamboat
He could not go from Washington
to New York in few hours.
He had never seen an electric light
or dreamed of an electric car.
He could not send telegram.
He couldn't talk through the tele-
phone and he had never heard of the
hello girl.
He could not ride bicycle.
He could not call in stenographer
and dictate a letter.
He had never received typewriter
communication.
He had never heard of the germ
theory or worried over bacilli and
bacteria.
He never looked pleasant before a
photographer or had his picture
taken.
He never heard a photograph talk
or saw kaleidoscope turn out prize
fight.
He never saw through Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary with the aid
of Roentgen ray.
He had never taken ride in an ell
evator.
He had never imagined such thing
as typesetting machine or n type
writer.
He had never used anything but -
wooden pillow.
He had never seen his wife using
sewing machine.
He had never struck match on
his pants or anything else.
He couldn't take an anaesthetic
and have his leg cut off without feel
ing it.
He had never purchased a 10-cent

He could not buy paper for cent
and learn everything that had hap
