You can learn something Of mans

If his head is so bumpy that it seems as
if he never could get hat to fit him he
probably is a genius or an eccentric in
some particular line. Ii his head is

ST. Adams, Feb. 29.-This place is
suffering from the results of one of the
worst wind storms that ever visited
the city. The streets are filled with
branches blown from the trees and the
country roads in every direction are
completely blocked, it being impossible
for a team to reach this place. The
telegraph and telephone lines are seri-
ously damaged, there being but one
line in operation to the south.
On Saturday night double. headed
freight train got stalled about three
miles south of this city and both en-.
gines and several freight cars are en-
tirely buried under the snow. A snow
plow was sent to their assistance but
is unable to release them and large
force of men with shovels are trying
to open the road. They are encounter
ing drifts from four to fifteen feet deep
and it could not be predicted Sunday
how much time will be required to
open the road in this direction.
A large section of the roof of John
Alfred's barn about two miles south of
this city was blown off by the wind
Saturday night.

FO UND u Utility

Washington, Feb ~. After being
out for nine hours, the jury in the
famous post ONCE conspiracy case
brought i'll verdict last night of
guilty as indicted. :" This verdict
applied to all four defendants: Au-
gust W. Machen, late general superin.
tendent of the rural free delivery d.
vision; George E. Lorenz of Toledo,
Ohio, and Samuel A. and Diller B.
Croft of this city.
AS the words guilty as indicted"
fell from the foreman's lips, the de
PENDANTS and their counsel seemed ap-
palled. During the time the Jury was
out the four defendants had paced
up and down the hallway outside the
court room and had given expression
to the belief that each hour the jury
spent In discussing the case brought
them nearer to an acquittal.
There was general establishment
that the jury had included in the con-
viction Samuel A. Croft, the Wash
ington policeman and inventor of the
Croft fastener, as to whom Holmes
Conrad, special counsel for the gov
eminent, yesterday informed the jury
he did not expect conviction and
that he personally did not believe in
his guilt.

III. j. HOOPER DEAD

Hanover, N. H., Feb. 30. Henry j.
Hooper, '07, of Dartmouth College,
died at ~ 80 O'Clock Sunday morning
after an illness of only about two
days. He was operated upon for APP
pendicitis at the hospital on Thursday
night and since that time the physi-
clans gave little hope of his recovery.
Saturday he was conscious for time
and talked with some of his class
mates. In the evening he became de-
lirious and was not concsious of his
surroundings. Sunday the flag was at
half mast, and at the evening chapel
services President Tucker paid fine
tribute to Mr.. Hooper. Mr.. Hooper
was the best center on any college
football team in the country last year
He was popular with both students
and faculty.

fall. 1t was again repaired in many
WAYS last spring when licence first
went into effect and @. H. Campbell
moved into one of the places on the
ground floor for his saloon. The
building is valued at about 50, 900 and
is insured for 81, 800. Among those
burned out were B. W. Hooker d
Company, the furniture dealers, who
lost go heavily in the Currier block
fire which burned down year ago
last Saturday This time they are
again the heaviest losers. They had
just got in large stock which was
valued at SIG, 600 and insured to the
extent of $40, 900.
G. H. Campbell, who has a first
class licence saloon ON the ground
floor, sustains a considerable loss, his
stock being valued at So, 900, covered
by insurance to the extent OF SO, 100.
Among the other loosers, with the
amounts and insurance, are: Parker
d Tassie, meat and provision, loss,
80, 600, insurance, $1,000; David d
Caleb, general store, loss 81, 800, in
surance $1,000; Mrs Arthur Latour-
neru, restaurant on second floor, loss
5000, insurance $500; Barre Musical
Association, loss $75.
The fire was discovered in room
on the second floor by Henry and Leo
nard Tierney, two boys, aged eleven
and fifteen, respectively, who were
sleeping there. The younger boy ran
to the srteet in his underclothes and
gave the alarm, Patrolman Hamel
ringing in the alarm. The thermom-
eter registered at that time 10 dergees
below.
The fire company was quick to re-
spond for night call, but the flames
had already gained considerable head
way and the block was doomed AT
one time nine streams of water were
turned on the building. The city
building on one side and the Averill
block ON the other were in close prox-
unity to the burning building and the
latter was saved only by the hardest
struggle,
The fire caught from defective
chimney. Until late hour this fore.
noon streams of water were still play
ing on the ruins and the partitions
which were standing are being torn
down.

NJ U,SIC1L CON VENTION
Held at East Montpelier Village Hall
on Thursday.

The musical convention at East
Montpelier on Thursday afternoon and
evening was great success and re-
fleets the greatest credit upon Prof.
Charles Dudley and also the members
Of the chorus. The chorus of between
forty and fifty voices is well balanced
and their execution of the most diff
cult selections would have done credit
to more than an organization of anna
tours. In the afternoon not very
large audience was present as nearly
everybody attended the evening SEES
sion. After music by the chorus Miss
Grace Bliss of Calais in her sweet So
prano voice sang selection of her
own composition. Mr. Haylett played
a solo on the voilin followed by we'll
received selection by Joseph Yiau.
The afternoon session closed with a
solo by Miss H. Julia Gross, whose
clear voice is an addition to any oc.
casion.
In the evening the program opened
with a tenor solo liking All Glori-
ous.' by Joseph Viau assisted by the
chorus. Mr. Wan has an excellent
voice and his clear tones are pleas.
ing feature of his singing Mr.. Hay
lett favored the audience with a VIC.
lin solo, we'll selected and we'll rem
dered.
Miss Bliss of Calais, in her unas.
Stunning manner, sang selection
which was greatly enjoyed after
which the chorus sang the Cradle
Song. The next number of the pro-
gram was trio by Mrs. Charles
Hamblin, Mrs F. l. Pitkin of Mont
pelieI and Mrs. Harriet Willard of
Burlington. The three voices blended
beautifully and the selection was one
of the features of the program. A
reading selection from david Ha-
rum" WAS then given by Charles Nc
Knight of East Montpelier whose
reputation as a good elocutionist and
impersonator has already been herald
ed outside the county.
The Sanctus Holy, Holy, Holy, "
by Mr.. Joseph Viau, tenor, and Prof
H. H. May of st. Johnsbury, bari
tone, assisted by the chorus elected
loud applause Mrs. Willard of Bur
lington who is not unknown in this
section as a soloist, rendered pleas
ing solo after which Prof. May of ST.
Johnsbury sang beautiful baritone

The last selection was a soprano
solo by Miss H. Julia Gross assisted
by the chorus and this proved most
crediable finale.
After the program banquet was
served and dancing enjoyed until a
