A ITEM PIED BURGLARY.

Vergennes, April 6.-An unsuccess-
full attempt was made on Monday to
burglarize the safe in the Office of the
Vermont Shade Roller Company of
this city. An entrance was made into
the dynamo room and thence by break
ing through window into the office.
Evidently an attempt was made to
work the combination and failing to
succeed, force was resorted to. as the
dial bore marks of being hammered
with an iron instrument. The at
tempt was not discovered until Super
intendent Graves entered the Office in
the morning. Some difficulty was
experienced in opening the safe as the
com bination sustained some damage
from the shock of the blows it re-
ceived. Blood on the floor and doors
evidenced that the person who made
the attempt received severe cut,
probably in breaking the glass in the
window. Traces of blood were also
seen on the walk near the building
and followed quite distance.

of the creamery, both living outside
of Brattleboro and in different towns,
had been overpaid for their cream to
the amount of about 81, 200 through
trickery on their part, and it was de
cided to ask them to make good the
amount. The patrons are paid accord
ing to the test OF their cream as made
by the cream gstherers. 1t appeared
that the two patrons in question sub

ing. This went ON in one case for
several months, until finally suspic-
ions were aroused and the gatherers
took two samples from the same
cream, putting one in his pocket. On
returning to the creamery he tested
the samples. One tested three times
as valuable as the other. One Of the
patrons has settled. The other will
settle or be prosecuted.

A MINIATURE GOVERNMENT.
Superintendent of Schools viii Organ
ize the Pupils of His School.

Chicago, March 2S.-The public schools
bf Chicago will be organized into minia-
ture national, state and municipal gov
ernments, If plans under consideration by
Superintendent Edwin G. Cooley are car
ried out.
Superintendent Cooley believes that by
bringing the pupils into organization.
representing the three different stages of
government, civics can be taught with
better results than in any other way.
The plan contemplates the election of
a national house of representatives from
the grammar schools and the election of
Senators from the high schools.
Each elementary school will send one
representative to the national congress,
and each high school will send several
senators to the higher branch of the mock
national government
The state and city governments will be
formed In much the same way.
The president and all officers of the diff
ferent branches of government will be
elected by the Australian ballot system,
and in every detail the machinery of the
national government will be founded upon
the principles of co-education and equal
suffrage.

Sixteen cases have been under treat
