blank checks and came here. The first
the officers knew about him is that he
purchased goods at the store of A. c.
Harvey and rendered check of $25 in
payment. One of the clerks took the
check to the Citizens Bank where Miss
Mason has a deposit and was told that
the signiture was forgery. The clerk
returned and told Adams he would not
take the check and then telephoned for
the police. When they came Adams had
left and SO Chief Noyes telephoned to va
rious places In town to watch out for
such man. Shortly after a telephone
message came from the store of Steele,
Taplin Co. where he attempted to pass
another check of about $40. Adams
was found Thea and taken to the police
station where he confessed the crime. A
hearing was held yesterday afternoon
and he was bound up to county court
and bail fixed at $500 and not furnished.
He is now in Jail.
w. D. Madden was before Judge Wor-
cester yesterday for indecent exposure.
He waived examination and was bound
up to county court. Bail was fixed at
$500 and will probably be furnished.
This is the man who has been so annoy
ing to people driving on the North
Danville road.

Higher Prices for Meat.

The strike among the employees of the
Chicago packing houses is far reaching
in it's effect as everybody is SO dependent
upon the beef trust. The St. Johnsbury
branch of the Swifts is supplying all it's
trade, though at slightly advanced
prices and by purchasing native beef in
some cases. 1t seems like lucky strike
that an extra car of beef left Chicago for
St. Johnsbury.the day before the strike
and this will help out for few days.
The local butchers have not advanced
their prices in many of the products and
some of the stores are still selling at old
prices. The strike has given a great
impetus to native beef and lamb and the
farmers are rushing in their live stock to
supply the local and city trade.
W. A Kicker, our local shipper, is send
ing live cattle to the Brighton market
and last week had the St. Johnsbury
Packing Company slaughter carload of
native beef which he sent to Springfield
Monday morning. There is no scarcity
of meat in St. Johnsbury this week. but
higher prices must be expected if the
strike continues as the offer of higher
prices in the city will take away from
here the beef and lamb that in ordinary
times would be slaughtered for the ST..
Johnsbury trade.

Christian Science Church Dedicated.

Sunday. July IT, the beautiful new
church edi6ce of First Church of Christ,
Scientist, Concord, N. H., was dedicated.
Members of this denomination from all
parts of this country and many from
other lands, were present at the services.
The corner stone was laid July 16. 1908.
and in one year the church had been COM
pleted and dedicated free from all indebt-
edness. The cost is about 100000 and
its erection at this time was made posi-
BILE by Mrs. Eddy's generous gift $780,
600. Spontaneous and unsolicited dona-
tions towards the furnishings have been
sent from Christian Scientists everywhere.
The local church has given literally, and
indeed Concord's attitude quite general
ly shows the old proverb reversed, and
that in Mrs. Eddy's case a Prophet has
honor in her own church as well as else
where.
This new church is built of Concord
granite throughout, and in Gothic archi-
lecture. Its proportions and lines are
strikingly handsome and it will be
notable feature in the city's attractions.
The seating capacity is 1000, and its
interior finish and decorations are in
keeping with the chastity and elegance
of it's architecture.
The church has one of the finest loca-
tons in the city, having prominent
site at the corner of State and School
streets. 1t occupies a position in the
public square, around which are grouped
the State Capitol, the handsome Post
Office Building, the State Library, the
High School, the Unitarian and Univer-
salist Churches, the City Building and
the City Library.
The citizers of Concord generally have
taken great interest in this new building,
and are justly proud of the handsome
additional adornment of their fair city.
In broad-minded way, regardless of
appreciate this striking manifestation of
Mrs. Eddy's interest in all that makes
for the highest welfare of her home city.

Back from st. Louis.

Elisha May Refurns from the National
Convention.
Hon. Elisha May returned Friday night
from the democratic national convention
and has many interesting memories of
the great gathering. The Vermont dele
cation left New England on the contin-
entail limited, which is the fast train from
the east on the Wabash road. It was
late in getting into Decatur, Ill.,, and the
Chicago limited was sent out ahead of it.
This was the train that was wrecked at
Litchfeld and, as result of the accident,
80 were killed and many badly injured.
The train with the Vermont and New
Hampshire delegates was switched to
the tracks of the Illinois Central at
Springfield, which parallel those of the
Wabash. At midnight the train passed
the wreck at Litch6eld, and from the car
windows the Vermont men could see dis
tinctly the Wabash train burning bright
ly at that hour.
Curiously enough the train which i'm
mediately preceded the unfortunatelimit-
ed from Chicago had as passengers Col.
committeeman from Vermont, and George
w. Kelley of Burlington, who was
appointed assistant sergeant-at-armso of
the convention, position he has filled
since 1884.
A delegate from Virginia elbowed his
way into the little group which the
colonel was entertaining with campaign
stories of the Green Mountain state.
"Glad to know you, Colonel. From
Kansas, did you say?" inquired the Vir-
ginian.
"No, sir, not on your life, from Yer
mont" replied Col. Senter.
"By CAD, sub, let me shake your hand
sub. A democrat from Vermont? re-
spect you," said the southerner, land
have you any nutmegs with your"
"You are mistaken, sir" replied the
Colonel. 'Nutmegs grow in Connecticut.
should be mighty glad, though, to send
you some maple sugar"
The delegation had their headquarters
at the St. Nicholas and organized by
electing V. A. Billiard chairman, Elisha
May committee on resolutions, Herbert
Cummings on credentials, and ]. D. Ham
rahan on the committee to notify Judge
Parker of his nomination. Mr.. May was
one of the Is members of the committee
on resolutions to vote for the retention
of the gold plank in the platform. The
Vermont delegation decided as soon as
they reached st. Louis to support Judge
Parker, and their early decision had much
to do with bringing some of the larger
states over to the winning candidate.
Mr.. May is naturally much pleased over
the conventions choice and predicts
successful campaign. He had a chance
to visit the St. Louis exposition and,
like every one else, was amazed at the
size of the fair and its wonderful exhibits.

Bootblack Union.

The blacking of boots by small boys in
the village seems to be the rage at the
present time and quite a number of boys
are engaged in that occupation. There
is quite rivalry for trade and some OF
the boys have been cutting prices in
order to secure the desired coin. An in
dignation meeting was held in Railroad
street park Monday evening and it was
decided by the boys to form a boot
blacking union and establish a schedule
of prices and live up to the scale. The
extreme penalty for breaking the agree
ment is to have the box of the offending
bootblack broken and the stuffin' licked

VARIOUS MISDEEDS.
Horse Stolen.

Tuesday, July IL, Frank Prue was sent
from the farm of Lewis Lamontagne in,
Waterford to the creamery with the
cream. He did the errand and returned
to the farm and not finding any one at
home started off horseback riding
towards his home in Lancaster. When
Mr.. Lamontagne returned he found his
hired man missing and also his horse.
He Immediately notified the officers here.
and about noon Tuesday Sheriff Sullo-
way located Prue in Miles Pond, where
L. V. Hastings had stopped him on re-
ceipt Of a description from the sheriff.
Prue was brought here when hearing
was held, and he was bound over to the
December term Of county court. Bail
was fixed at 5000, but has not been fur
nished. In regard to the alleged theft
Prue claimed that he had an agreement
with Lamontagne that he was to have
the horse if he assisted him during hay
ing time. Lamontagne claimed that
Prue had commenced haying but the
agreement was that he was not to have
the horse until after the haying was COM
pleted, and that they had only partially
done the work.

the Stanley livery stable on Central
street he emptied the contents of his
pocket in the clothes he was taking off
onto his bed. After putting on his other
clothes he went down stairs in the stable
without putting the things back in his
pockets, and when he returned he found
that his pocketbook, containing between
$50 and $24, was missing. Diligent
search about the room and building
failed to reveal the missing money. One
person is suspected of having taken the
money, as he has done considerable loaf
ing about the stable, but rigid search
of his person did not bring the money to
light.
