NOT INCL UDED.

A recent Washington dispatch states
that incoming reports of army inspect
ors OF colleges are said to show gen.
e'al unsatisfactory state of affairs so
far as the military training of the stu
dents is concerned. Further it is
stated that the inspector general is
about to send circular letter to the
heads of the colleges demanding
remedial measures. Happily Norwich
University at Northfeld is not one of
those needing remedial measures. {"
This is shown by the report of Capt.
f. S. Foltz, End Cavalry, special in
spector, dated at Fort Ethan Allen,
May 20. Some extracts from this re-
port follow:
81 found the military professor,
Captain H. W. Hovey gath Infantry,
eminently suited to his position.
The attitude of the college au-
thorities toward the military depart
ment leaves nothing to be desired ;
the president is retired commander
in the navy.
The appearance and bearing of the
cadets at the review and inspection,
and also out of ranks, gave evidence
of high soldierly feeling. an esprit
de corps, and discipline that was
highly creditable to the cadets them.
selves as well as to their superiors.
1.-The uniforms were neat, well fit
ting, and well cared for every collar
was OF uniform shape, hair was neatly
cut. and gloves and shoes clean.
The arms were in perfect condi-
ton, as also the equipments; the
latter highly polished, and brasses
bright; all cared for by the cadets.
There were but two absentees from
the drill, one with an arm injured at
base ball and one the cadet major,
who was in Washington undergoing
an examination for commission IN
the marine corps. "
The report then praises the drills
and exercises under cadet officers, say
ing that each was executed with
snap and precision that would have
been creditable to any organization
and up to the standard of an exhibit
ton drill. y Further the report says:
" AT fire drill which l witnessed, a
line OF buckets was formed and water
thrown IN fourteen seconds, while in
less than two minutes, all the cadets
on the third floor, some twenty-five,
had slid down the two ropes provided
at each end of the building, and had
o"n VI thSAi ploOOb Mluu bIlt WdbbT
pals from their rooms, in bucket
line. ="
In closing the report says: eff it be
thought that the tone of this report is
that is as l intend it.
| consider that this little college, with
it's small numbers and resources, is
giving an immense return to the gov.
for the use of it's cadet rifles
and the services of Captain Hovey, as
professor, and gives evidence of a
pride and ambition that will
repay cultivation. -
Special attention is invited to the
names of the students who may be
mentioned this year as most distin-
guished in the military department,
and the inspector advises that some
hing be done for the school as a spe- |
'ial mark of appreciation.

HIT BY Il BALL.

Arthur Prescott, a student at Mont.
pelier Seminary, was seriously hurt
while playing ball on the campus on
Thursday afternoon. He Was endeav-
oring to catch a fly but missed and the
ball struck him squarely ON the nose
causing it to bleed copiously. AS it
did not stop the young man went to
a physician, afterward taking the train
for his home in Plainfield. Hemor-
rhages have occurred at intervals of
few hours. ever since and the boy has
become extremely weak from loss of
blood. A physician from this city was
called on Monday, the bleeding has
been checked and it is hoped that there
will be no serious results. though the
young mans condition is serious.

DISASTROUS FLOODS.

During the past weeks the floods
that rayaged Topeka and Kansas City

perty was great and upwards of fifty
lives were lost. Just now St. Louis

meagre it is believed that more than
thirty persons were drowned.

SEARCH UNAVAILNG.

1t was two weeks last Friday morn
ing since f. M. Waterman, owner of
the bakery at Waterbury, so myster-
iously disappeared, leaving behind
him cloud of uncertainty in the
minds of his wife, father and friends
in regard to his whereabouts, motives
and condition. For the first two days
after his departure not much anxiety
was felt, although it seemed strange
that he should go away without leav-
ing word. AS the days have rolled
by, however. lengthening into weeks,
and no word has come from him, nor
has he been seen by any one. the
greatest apprehension for his safety
has been felt.
Last week Friday M. ]. Waterman
of Waitsfield, father of the miss
ing man, posted signs in the most
conspicuous places in town offering
$50 reward for information locating
him.
Last week claiIvoyant was con
suited to ascertain if possible the vi
cinity in which the man might be
found. A bunch of keys which were
ordinarily carried by Mr.. Waterman
were given the clairvoyant and, as he
fingered them over, he said, Why
noIo 10 bHo uOuso hey. IL eooInn
that day or so before Mr. Waterman
disappeared he had asked his wife
where the house key was, and she had
told him where she supposed it was
hanging. Afterward as she looked on
the nail to see if it was still there she
found it was gone and had not the
slightest idea it was ON the bunch
until the clairvoyant pointed it out.
The latter said that the missing man
and wandered on the track toward
Middlesex for a short distance and
had turned to the left and gone up the
hill into the woods where he wand
cred around in circle until he fell
exhausted. He also said that two
men, one tall and the other u short
man, would find him.
Mr.. Waterman's father has spent
considerable time hunting in the
woods on this theory but without re-
suit. On Sunday search party went
in different directions and secured
the woods for miles around but were
unable to find any trace Of the man.

The talk of Senator Beveridge of
Indiana as running mate for Mr..
Roosevelt in the campaign of 1904 has
been revived by a report from Indian
apolis. to the effect that leading Re-
publioans have determined to select
the Indiana delegation to the next
national convention with this plan in
view. The repor5 further states that
President Roosevelt has declared that
Beverage is the best equipped man
in the west for making the party
campaign, and as he recognizes that
the vice. president must come from the
west, he feels that it is the duty of
the Senator to accept the nomination
regardless of his personal preference
to remain in the Senate.
The President is quoted as saying
that he cannot himself make p speak
ing campaign and that Senator Bever.
idge is the most available man in the
party for such duty, being tireless
worker, an eloquent speaker and pop
ular with the people. The leaders
say that the Indiana delegation will
second the demand for Beveridges'
nomination, which will come from
the Presidents friends in the east.

SUICIDE IN ORANGE,

Plainfeld, June 9.-Frank Cutler,
son of Alfred Cutler of Orange, COM
mitted suicide by shooting at HI. L..
Laird's farm in that town ON Monday
evening. Cutler was twenty-five years
old and worked for Mr.. Laird. He
was away from the house nearly all
day on Monday but returned just be-
fore 6 O'Clock and assisted for short
time at the milking. He returned to
the house, strained the milk and re-
marked to some one that he guessed
he would take himself out of peo-
pies way" He then went behind the
barn and shortly two shots were
heard Cutler was found with bull
let hole in his head the other shot not
taking effect A 32-calibre revolver
was used, the bullet entering about
an inch above the ear and lodging in
the base of the the brain, The deed
was committed at 4 80 O'Clock and
Cutler remained in an unconscious
state until 10 O'Clock when death
came. DR.. II. +. Gale of this place
was called but could render no aid.
Cutler was unmarried. 1t is curl
GUS fact that two of Mr.. Cutters
brothers have committed suicide, one
by drowning and one by taking paris
green. He had been very Respondent
at times because he could not break
away from the liquor habit and had
remarked that unless he could do so
he would end his life. He leaves

FOR EX-GOV. STEW4RT.

Ex-Governor John w. Stewart was
in the city on Saturday and closed a
contract with Harry Bertoli for cut
ting monument for the Stewart fam
lily lot in Middlebury. The monu-
ment is to be of the sarcophagus type,
of beautiful design and very elabor-
ately carved. The price is not stated
but it will be one of the finest speci-
mems of work ever cut from Barre
granite. The awarding of this con-
tract is case of one good job paving
the way for others. Governor Stew
arts attention was called to Mr.. Ber-
tolls work through the Fifield work
in Green Mount Cemetery. This piece
of work pleased Mr.. Fifield so much
that he not only presented Mr.. Ber-
toll with check for 800 above the
contract price, but has since taken
every opportunity to say good word
for the sculptor and his work. The
contract calls for the completion of
the work by October /, but Mr.. Ber-
toll expects to have it set September
10. Mr.. Bertoli has recently complet-
ed monument for l.. Bart Gross,
which ranks among the very finest in
Green Mount.

The time is at hand when the north
must cease to criticize the south fol-
now and then conducting lynching
bee. In Illinois the other day negro
teacher shot a school superintendent
because the latter refused to renew
his license to teach. The shooting oc-
CURED just before midnight and the
next day a mob of l, 800 people, many
of whom were women, gathered and
hanged the would-be murderer to a
telephone pole. Not satisfied with
this the mob kindled fire at the foot
of the pole, and while the victim was
yet alive he was lowered, soaked with
coal oil and cast into the flames.
Even this did not satiate the blood
thirstiness of the crowd, and they fell
upon the negro with knives and clubs,
pounding and slashing until every sign
of life had vanished. Then the body
was allowed to burn. Southern lynch
ers sometimes appear willing to go to
extremes, but either their sense of
humanity or the lack of ingenuity
has generally kept them little above
the level of this Illinois mob.

BROWNELL SUSPENDED.

James E. Burke. Burlington black
smith mayor, who by decision of
the Supreme Court recently succeeded
DR.. D. C. Hawley in that Office, is
beginning his administration by a
general shaking up of the police de-
partment. On Saturday he addressed
the following letter to Chief F. E.
Brownell:
Dear Sir. -Charges having been
preferred against you of violation of
the police rules, deem lit my duty to
notify you of the same before present
ing them to give you an opportunity
to send me your resignation if you so
desire. An immediate reply will be
expected from you.
Respectfully yours,
James E. Burke, mayor
Chief Brownell answered as follows:
Dear Sir-I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your off
cial communication of June 8, in
which you state that charges have
been preferred against me for viola
ton of police rules, and that you give
NE an opportunity to send to you my
resignation if so desire. do not so
desire, and state that 1 am ready to
meet any charges that may be made as
to my official conduct.
Very respectfully yours,
+. e. Brownell.
AS soon as Mayor Burke received
this letter he verbally suspended Chief
Brownell and later in the evening
followed his verbal suspension with a
written document. The chief then
vacated the Office and the mayor as
sumed control of the force. 1t is un-
derstood that the charge against
Brownell is excessive partisanship.
Until the written suspension was re
ceived Chief Brownell refused to va
cate the Office claiming that the mayor
had no right to suspend him pending
an investigation of charges. He has
engaged ex-Mayor Robert Roberts as
attorney.
