RET. MRS. JONES RESIGNS.

At the annual meeting of the Uni
versalist church in Barre Tuesday
evening Rev. Fife K. M. Jones ten
6ered her resignation as pastor of the
church. The reasons given by Mrs.
Jones were that she had received a
call to the Universalist church at
Waterloo, Kansas and, as it WAS a
more renumerstive charge and nearer
her old home in Lawrence, Kansas,
she felt inclined to accept. She also
stated that her physician had advised
a change of climate for the betterment
OF her health.
Mrs Jones has been pastor of the
church tor the past five years and sue
ceeded her husband in that capacity
where he was stationed for six years.
A peculiar phase of the case is that
her husband was at one time pastor of
the church to which she has received
call in Waterloo. No action was
taken upon the resignation and a
meeting will be held next Tuesday
evening to take action in the case.

Events in the Far East are receiv-
ing much attention in Washington.
The Chinese commercial treaty has
still to be ratified at Pekin by receiv-
ing the Imperial Seal, and officers of
the state department believe that
Russia is secretly opposing such rati-
fication, in order to prevent the OPEN
ing of the Manohurian ports of An
tung and Mukden to American trade.
The Russians fear that il America ac-
quires such an interest in Manchuria,
America will oppose the permanent
occupation by Russia or perhaps get
involved in the Russian japanese dis
pute. American Minister Conger has
received instructions to urge a prompt
ratification of the treaty, and our gov
eminent is of course determined to
prevent Russia from successfully OPP
posing it, War between Russia and
Japan is regarded as almost certain
aud Rear Admiral Evans has been
ordered to proceed at once from Hon.

mand. While it is thought that hos

time, the administration intends to
have fleet on the scene in order to
protect American interests.

COLOMBIA'S DEMANDS.

Washington, Doe. 29.-It is learned
from an authoritative source thas
Gen. Reyes has presented three propo-
sitions in his note to the State depart
ment: First, that the status existing
prior to the revolution on the 18TH
mus should be restored; second, that
the United States should keep hands
off while Colombia tries to lick Pana-
ma into submission; third, that 10 the
United States will accept neither the
first nor second proposition she should
pay damages to Colombia for the in.
jury inflicted through loss of territory,
aud the amount should be fixed by the
Hague tribunal. The note says that
failure on the part of United States to
heed the protest of Colombia will re-
suit in the severance of diplomatic
relations.

STATE rs. RS. MOFF1T.

Bennington, Dec. 80. - County
court opened yesterday after the
Christmas recess. The first case set
for trial is that of State VS.. Mrs. Alice
Moffat who is under Indictment,
charged with attempting to poison
her husband, Alexander Moffat, a we'll
known farmer of Sandgate. The case
in many ways resembles that of the
Rogers murder case recently tried.
Joseph Mesrs, who was in the employ
OF Moffat, had an affection for Mrs.
Moffat and after Alexander Moffat
was taken sick and treated for poison
ing and recovered, Mears was indict-
ed, tried, and found guilty of at.
tempted murder by poisoning and SEN
fenced to eighteen years at hard labor
in Windsor, A bottle of whiskey
WAS found in the closet which was
procured by Mears for Moffat, and upon
examination at the State laboratory in
Burlington it was found to contain cor
rosive sublimate enough to kill sew
eral men.
After Mears was taken to Windsor
f. O. Archibald. tine attorney for
Mears, continued Investigations on his
own account. He had always been
satisfied that Mears was not alone
implicated in the attempted poison
ing He secured new evidence and
succeeded in having the case brought
up before the grand jury in June with
the result that Mrs Moffat was in
dicted for completely in the crime.
Mr.. Moffat has the utmost confidence
that his wife was in no way connected
with the affair. Since her indict
ment she has been out most of the
time on bail furnished by him

THE MISSOURI BOODLERS

Circuit Attorney Folk and those
who are supporting him IN his work
are certainly having hard time in
securing the puni shment of the Mis-
souri, boodlers. Nearly twenty OF the
grafters" and bribers have been
convicted but not one has yet served
day in the penitenJiary as their
sentences order. Every case has been
appealed and rs the result Of two de-
cisions recently rendered it appears
that most of the work has been for
nsught. The Missouri Supreme
Court has freed Edward Butler who
was tried and convicted of bribery.
Butler paid DR.. Chapman of the st.
Louis board OF health to vote for a
city garbage contract to a company in
which Butler was interested. 1t
turned out that Chapman had no
power to vote on the matter as Butler
supposed, so the court says the giving
of money to him for that purpose was
not bribery.
A second decision, more sweeping
in its effects, holds that the method
OF prosecution by information which
has been in use in Missouri since 1901
is unconstitutional. The court says
the information must be verified by
affidavit in order to be good. All the
bribery cases yet tried have been upon
informations and al. result the work

n RAPID TRANSIT ACT.

Rapid transit by means of horseless
vehicles received rather unexpected
and startling demonstration in the
city on Saturday afternoon. A farmer
was bringing a load OF wood into
town. All went we'll until the load,
which was being hauled down Clay
Hill, was about opposite College
street; at that point both the horses
fell, on account OF che icy condition of
the street, and could not get up with
the weight of the load OH them. The
driver understood the law of horses
better than the law Of gravity, evil
IDENTIFY, for he unhitohed the horses
from the sled without blocking it.
AS soon as the sled was released from
the horses it started for the city at a
gait that would make Lou Dillon S
pace resemble that Of an OK hitched
to a stone drag. Fortunately the
tongue OF the sled struck a water bar
before the load had gone far enough
TO do harm. When the tongue struck
the bar the front sled jumped high
enough to disconnect the king bolt,
and thus the load was stopped Had
it gone to the bottom of the hill there
is no knowing what damage it might
have done. Such accidents as these
will afford lesson to teamsters to
keep their horses shoe caulks sharp
during the icy season.

COUNTY COURT.


1t took less than half an hour on
Tuesday to impanel jury in the case
of State VS.. Charles Thompson in
county court, present the case, make
the arguments, and charge the jury.
Thompson is a young man from Dux-
bury and the charge against him was
very serious, that of an assault upon
fourteen years old Gertrude Miller
with the intent to commit rape. The
reason for the extremely short time
taken in the trial was found in the
facts that the attorney for the respon-
dent made no claim that the respon-
dent did not do the acts alleged but
asser ted that he was in sane, aud there
fore irresponsible. States Attorney
Senter agreed to this last proposition
and as consequence the trial was a
mere form. Three witnesses were
used, the girl who was assaulted,
Edison Foss, who knew the respondent
and to whom the respondent had
talked of the deed. and LIZ. Marcello
Hutchinson who had observed the
respondent in the hospital for the in.
sane in Waterbury. The assault was
commit ed June 26, and July 81
Thompson was sent to Waterbury for
observation and has been there since
that time. DR.. Hutchinson testified
that Thompson is permanent imbe-
oile, Of low grade of intellect. with
no powers of learning. not knowing
how to read or write, with no sense
of right or wrong and no will power.
The jury quickly returned verdict
of mot guilty by reason of insanity"
and the court ordered Thompson COM
mited to Waterbury. W. A. Lord
appeared for the respondent.
State vs.. Joseph DeCel, Of Water
bury, for breach of the peace, was
disposed of by plea of guilty. The
court sentenced DeCel to the house of
correction for not less than four
months and not more than six months
and tU pay the costs of prosecution,
suspended the operation of the sen
tence and ordered him into the GUS
tody of the probation officer The
case was over family Jar sin which
the wife got the worst of it, but hus-
band and wife have made up. W. A.
Lord for the respondent.
State VS.. George Freeman, for fell
onious assault, will be put on for
trial Wednesday morning. All of the
cases for violation of the deer law by
shooting does have been continued
except State VS.. Jewett. That one
will be heard ON demurrer and passed
to Supreme Court as test case.
State VS.. Johnson, disposing of
mortgaged property, and State vs..

kill, have been disposed of by the
entry of nolle prosequi. investiga-
ton having proved the facts different
than were supposed when the cases
were begun. In State vs.. John Van
Hall, the bail has been given more
time to find the respondent, who has
skipped. Fred Law pleaded guilty to

DOMESTIC.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-For the second
time this year Armour e. Co are
showing how one house of enormous
resources can control the price of
wheat in the United States. Armour
is now estimated to have contracts for
10, 600, 900 bushels of May wheat. A
large part of this line was accumulat-
ed in November, when the May price
was rs. The price is now S3S. The
short interest, hig one, is nervous
and is inclined to take back wheat, so
that runaway market is among the
probabilities.

must be taken up again from the begin
ming. Mr.. Folk is already at 1t but
il is probable that number OF the
bribers will go free owing to the
statute of limitations having run on
their offences, three years being the
latest time after the offence that a
prosecution for bribery can be institu-
ted in Missouri. Indictments will
be secured in as many cases as posi-
BILE but some OF those against whom
the best and strongest evidence could
be used will escape.
The Missouri court is getting some
hard knocks throughout the country,
but so far as can be learned from the
newspaper reports the court is not to
be blamed. If the court interpreted
the law of the State correctly it did
right. even though it does cause some
trouble in these particular cases. IL
it did not do so. but for political rea-
sons or any other gave judgments
which the law of the State does not
warrant no ignominious punishment
could be too bad fer its members. 1t
would have been just as wrong to
have misinterpreted the law in favor
of the prosecution as in favor of the
respondents, for some day the wrong
decision would have worked evil just
the same, Meanwhile. the friends OF
clean government and clean politics
in Missouri, though they have had
set back, are proceeding undaunted to
the strife again.
