The safe in the post office i'm West
Swanzey was blown open early Monday
morning by three men who secured near
ly $40 in stamps and about a dollar in
pennies Several people who heard the
explosion looked out and saw the robbers,
one of whom was on guard outside the
building while the others were operating
inside. Mrs. Charles Russell, on seeing
the men, began to shout, and the robbers
hearing her quickly fled toward Christian
hill, one of them firing a revolver as they
left. The men had left a team in wait
ing some distance away and it is thought
they drove with it through Marlboro
about 230 in the morning. The door 10
the post Office was forced open and it is
evident that the work was that OF pro-
fessionals. The safe was owned by Den
man Thompson, the widely known actor.

boys were alone, the mother being in the

Keene Sentinel tells the story of the ac-
cident: Freddie, the little fellow, saw
or got hold of the gun and wanted to sec
it work. He teased his brother to fix the
gun so that it would fire and Harry fin
ally got shell that was loaded only with
powder and put into it. The little fellow
then evidently became somewhat alarmed
as he said Don't shoot me Harry. and
the gun was discharged while he was ii

Murder Mystery Near Mlddletown, N. Y.

The police of Middletown, N. Y, are
baffied by strange murder mystery. Fred
and William Olney, brothers, well-to-do
farmers, 5S and 60 years old respectively,
were shot in the fields about a quarter Of
a mile from their home. Their house
keeper, Mrs. Ingerick, was found uncon-
scious in the barn with her skull fractured
in three places. She is not expected to
recover and has only partially regained
consciousness. Her daughter, Alice, 8,
was dead, the body being in the barn.
Both had been beaten with some blunt
instrument. Late in the day Lulu In
gerick, 10. another daughter, left the farm
to go to Middletown. At that time the
four people who were attacked were at
the house. Lulu returned in time for a
late supper, and finding the house empty
aroused the neighbors who gave the alarm
and began a search. The appearances
Indicate that the Olney brothers drove
through the woods into their pasture in a
team, probably accompanied by the
murderers. The fact that an attempt was
made to kill every person who is known to
have been in the Olney house has caused
the police TO believe that the crime had
other motives than robbery.

PRAcTIclNe PHYSICIANS EXAMINED

They Had Failed to Have Their certlfl-
Gates Properly Reoorded-7s Summoned
to Appear.
At the meeting of the board of state
medical examiners at Burlington Tuesday
the fact was developed that rs practicing
physicians from all parts of Vermont had
been summoned before the board to take
examinations i'm conformity with the state
laws. Among those who were summon
ed were physicians who have been prac-
ticng 30 years.
This action grows out of a law passed at
the last session of the Legislature, and
which requires physicians to secure a
license and have 1t recorded at the office
of the secretary of state. Under the old
law the physicians were required to have
their certificates recorded in the Office OF
the various county clerks. Many did not
do this. and in consequence will have to
take the examination now.
Atty. Gen. Fits was appealed to by
the board and his opinion was to the effect
that the physicians would have to take
the examinations.
Forty-five physicians appeared before
the board Tuesday and took the eXamina-
tiOns, some paying the fee under protest.
Others are expected to report this week.
Attorney ]. e. Cushman has been re-
tanned by some of the physicians to act
for them in the matter.

Another Cure for Consumption.

Dr. Emil Won Behring, discoverer of
anti-toXine, startled the tuberculosis con-
gress in Paris Saturday with the an
nouncement that he has perfected a
specific which, when introduced into the
body, will not only rid it of the germs of
consumption, but will render anybody
thus treated forever immune from any
further attacks of the destroying
bacillus. The cure has not been ad-
ministered TO human beings, but has been
used with great success in experimenting
with tuberculous cattle and other animals,
DR.. Won Behring said: My cure is not
a serum or IA vaccine, it is not only pre-
ventive but curative, and l solemnly avow
my entire conviction in the thoroughness
and finality of this cure, which is the
eliminating point of many years of labor.
Before another year has passed the world
will be in possession of a secret which
will speedily rid it of one of the greatest
of plaques"

Encore.

Once upon an evening dismal,
1 handed her a paroXysmal
Kiss, and spoke her name baptismal,
Spoke her name-it was Lenore.
All she was a scrumptlous creature,
Glib of tongue and fair of feature,
But alas: I couldn't teach her,
For she had been there before
And she winlked at me and murmured,
Murmured the one word "Encorel"
Only that-and nothing more.

mont met at Burlington Tuesday to con-
slider debarring the Equitable Life AS
surance society, the New York Life In
surance and the Mutual Life In
surance companies from doing further
business in this state. They were ad-
Vised by legal authority that they had
no power to shut out these companies.

with but little loss to the property. The
burglars unlocked the railroad station and
secured a small sum of money there They
then stole a hand-car, went on 1t to White

Charles jackson, 80, of Montpelier, was
found Friday morning near the Central
Vermont railroad track three miles from
that city with both legs cut off above the
ankles. He had bled profusely but was
still in a conscious condition. He was
taken TO Thomas Whelan's farm house
and later TO the Heaton hospital in Mont
pelier, where it was necessary to amputate
both legs between the ankle and the knee,
as the flesh was torn raggedly. He stood
the operation well and will probably re-
cover. Jackson was employed as sec
ton hand several years but had been at
work recently on a farm in Moretown.
He came to Montpelier for the centennial.
He was seen Thursday night walking on
the railroad track toward Middlesex. He
was warned of the danger, but persisted
in remaining on the track. II is thought
that he went to sleep while intoxicated
with his feet across the rails, and that he
was struck by the south bound train early
in the evening and remained out door al
night.
