THIEVES IN NORTHFIELD.

Northfeld, July %. - About two
O'Clock this morning the meat market
OF @. S. Kimball, located near the
iron bridge, leading to Montpelier,
was broken into, by forcing an en-
trance through the rear door. The
lock was broken open and some boards
which had been nailed across the en-
trance in the inside were torn down
and nothing then prevented the bur-
glars from entering. The cash regis
ter, was taken from its place and it's
contents, fortunately for Mr.
Kimball) amounting to only forty
five cents, taken into the safe keeping
of the thieves. The register was then
taken out into the street in front of
the market and they left Not being
satisfied with their small find there,
the thieves next turned their atten-
tion to the postoffice near by. Here
an entrance was likewise made in the
rear through a transom nearest the
livery stable. The cash in the money
drawer was appropriated and some
odd change found in one of the desk
drawers. 1t would seem that the
burglars, whom they may be, were
systematic in their work as all the
desk drawers and places where money
might be concealed were thoroughly
ransacked. Nothing, however, was
missed here but small amount of cash
from the till. Although as yet no clue

he can do as much work in the hay

is in his ears he is hard of hearing
He has every promise of rounding out

THE KISHINEFF PETITION

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has received this mes
sage from Oscar S. Straus, who was
one of the representatives of the Jew

Russia to receive the Kishineff peti.
tion.
"Heartiest congratulations upon your
most satisfactory disposition of the
Kishineff petition. Your action in
this matter and in the recent Rouma-
nian protest marks an era in that
highest realm of diplomacy dip
lomacy of humanity, which marshals
the enlightened spirit of civilization

contribute to peace and happiness in
every land.

MASOUERADED rs A NAN.

New Orleans, July ga criminal
trial revealed the sex of Miss Willie
Ray, the young woman who succeeded
in passing herself off for man in
Prentiss county, Miss. for eight years.
Jim Gatlin, farmer of the neighbor-
hood, was arrested and placed on trial
for assault and battery on William
Ray. The testimony was conclusive.
Rays eyes were blackened and his
face badly cut. A verdict of guilty
seemed probable when Gatlin threw
himself on the mercy of the jury with
plea, always strong in the south,
that Ray had been too intimate with
Gatlin's wife and he had assaulted
him on that account
Ray was not nonplussed, but met
the charge by declaring and proving
that he was woman. Gatlin was
bound over TO the circuit court under
bond. Miss Ray is giving the Boom
Vile authorities much annoyance by
insisting on going back to trousers.
After her appearance in the Gatlin
case she was arrested, but there is no
law in Mississippi forbidding woman
from masquerading as man. She was
released.
