from the village, had in his possession
81 300, which he proposed to use
toward paying for farm. Mr.. Waldo
was negotiating for the purchase OF
Vim. II. Edmunds' farm and expected
to close the trade Friday, applying
the 81 300 as part payment. In order
to guard against the loss of the money
it was rolled up in towel and hidden
in the bed in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Waldo slept. Friday morning the
money could not be found and it is
supposed that it was stolen. There
is absolutely no clue, thus far, which
aids in explaining the mysterious
disappearance of the 81, 300.

men to escape. In a very few mo-
ments the fire had spread and had
ignited a box of powder that was
standing near and it was this explo-
sion which caused the destruction of
the building. The building and con-

force of the explosion being appar-

Dairymen.
The annual meeting of the Yer
mont Dairymen's Association, togeth-
er with that of the woman's auxiliary,
was held at Montpelier recently.
The program included the delivery
of a number of addr esses, the consid-
Grafton of butter and cheese scores,
the election of officers, and banquet
in the evening, at which Gov. G. ].
Bell was the guest of honor. Prof. p.
S. Cooley of Amherst spoke on the
Hundred dollar cow" contending
| that success could be accomplished
only with good stock. The standard
for butter and cheese scoring was
| fixed at 80 per cent. the same as last
year. These officers were elected:
President, II. G. Bruce of Sharon;
first vice president, @. A. HIATT of
South Ryegate; second vice president,
G. A. Terrill of Morristown; secre
tary, F. L. Davis of North Pomfret;
treasurer, M. A. Adams of Derby;
auditor, @. F. Smith of MorrisvilIe.
The woman's auxiliary reelected the
present officers. There were 1872 en-
tries of butter. Forty-seven samples
scored 95 points or better, and the
lowest mark was 88. The grand
sweepstakes premium was awarded
to L. W. Smith, of North Danville,
who scored SO points. A gold medal
and silver cup were awarded him.
OF Interest to Vermont Horticulturists.
Owing to the recent annual appro-
priation of $500 to the Vermont State
Horticultural Society, by the last Gem
eral Assembly, for the promotion of
the horticultural interests of the state,
the officers and members of this soci-
ETY. are enabled to offer an unusually
attractive program for their coming
annual meeting, which is to be held at
Vergennes February 9 and 10. The
speakers from outside the state who
have been secured are Prof. L. Fl.
Bailey of Cornell University, Mr.. S.
D. Willard of Geneva, N. Y, Prof. F.
A. Waugh of the Massachusetts, Agri-
cultural College, and Mr.. W. T.
Macoun, Horticulturist of the Central
Experiment Farm, Ottawa, Canada.
Another attractive feature of the
coming meeting is that of the pre-
MUM list. Prizes will be offered for
the best plates of named standard
varieties of apples and pears, also for
the best collections of fruits, flowers
and pot plants. The aggregate of
prizes offered in the premium list is
in the vicinity Of 500. Round trip
tickets to Vergennes may be pur-
chased at any station in Vermont, on
the Rutland, Boston & Maine and
Central Vermont Railroads, at one
and one third fare. The purchaser
should call for a round trip ticket
mentioning the meeting of the Yer
mont State Horticultural Society.
Reduced rates may also be obtained
on the @. V. r. r. from st. Johns and
Stanbridge, P. O., and Amherst and

losses of the students of Oberlin Col
! lege and other worthy sufferers who
had money,in the Citizens National
Bank of Oberlin, Ohio, which was
| wrecked by making loans to Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick. Mr.. Carnegie
has heard that many deserving stu

student body had lost all their money.
Tuesday President King announced
Mr.. Carnegie's intention to pay all
losses, and check for ST., GOO is now
in the hands of committee of Ohio
ciergymen and college professors.
"Mr. Carnegie will pay the losses of

he feels any. obligation, but on
account of the fraudulent use of his
name and forged signature"
| Great Aqueduct.
The construction of deep aqueduct
tunnel from the Catskill mountains
to New York city, distance of 81
miles, to deliver 300, 100000 gallons
of water daily in New York city, was
recommended to Mayor Mcclellan
Monday by special water commits
sion. 1t was estimated that it would
cost $5OO,OOO a mile to dig the
tunnel and that the total cost of pro-
posed additions to the city's water
supply would amount to $91 ZOO, 900.
1t is recommended that great reser-
volr be made by dam on Esopus
creek at Olive bridge and that the
water be brought from there to new
distributing reservoir at Rye pond.
The plan includes a deep tunnel
under the East river to carry the
water into Brooklyn. The commits
sion also proposed the construction
of two new reservoirs in the Croton

The County chairman.o

Human nature is the same the world oter. The talk and action of the village people pictured so graphically in George Aides "The County Chairman which comes to the Jefferson theatre tonight, carry one back to the halcyon days of youth, and he seems to recognize in the types" drawn so cleverly by the dramat- ist, old friends and acquaintanees. The scenes of the play are laid in Indiana, but the hamlet pictured, Antioch, might be in the far west, the south or the north or wherever the spectators childhood home happened to be- for the various per sonages of the play are sure to make one reminiscent MT. Ade's play Is a satire, but the satire Is always tempered with kindly lines. Everyone wko has lived in the country will recognize at a glance the minute details of the authors creation; the strongly and often broad ly drawn characters, which, while often grotesque, are really human personages. The fact that MT. Ade passed his early life in a small community gives him the power to picture with such a facile pen the peculiarities and the oddities of ths village folk

TRAIN IS FOUR DAYS
 COMING FROM FRONTIER.

A train arrived tonight from Germany in charge of railroad battalion, having been four days covering the distance from the frontier.
 Many meeting were held tonight in vari-
 ous quarters of the city at which the workmen, encouraged by the success of
 the movement, were in a jubilant and con fident spirit. The better classes as a rule are keeping closely to their houses. The government and the liberals are at at loss to know who is the contriving brain behind the great strike The direct
 ing hand is invisible, though it's workings are plainly evident. It is thought the
 strike may have been directed from
 Switzerland or Germany, and executed
 here through the social democratic or
 ganization, in which the workmen and
 the students are equally active. The or
 ganization is able to sway the great stu-
 dent body through it's student members, and everywhere today the students were
 seen mingling with the workmen and
 taking an active part in their movement

STRIKERS APPARENTLY
 ARE WITHOUT FUNDS.

The strikers apparently are without
 funds and must soon be exhausted, as was
 made evident by the action of the strike committee here practically being forced to hold up the city for food
 Representatives of the Associated Press drove through all the city today. Troops
 were everywhere In evidence, as if to
 overawe the people, but although there
 were many rumors of bloody collisions
 none of them could be authenticated. There were great crowds of workmen in the industrial quarters, but their beha-
 vior was orderly. All military reserves | are kept closely in barracks under arms, and at the horse guard barracks, back of General Trepoffs chanceliery, the horses
 are kept constantly saddled ready to emerge at a moments notice.
 The Russian capital is like a city in
 the possession of foreign army The greatest animation Is found in Nevsky Prospect, along which is flooded the glare of great searchlight fixed on the spire of the admirality building. The curious are drawn their like moths to a candle, and the sidewalks are thronged, while the government clerks scurry along the road
 way threading their way through the in- fantry and cavalry patrols Even In the Nevsky Prospect many windows of the shops are boarded up. Although electric light has been restored in some sections, the streets are dark, foreboding and de- serted, save by the patrols
