BACOALAUREATE SUNDAY
High School Seniors Attend Annual
Services at Congregational Church.

Services at Congregational Church.
The exercises attendant upon the
graduation of the class of 'O5 Of the
Kenosha High school, began Sunday
afternoon with an interesting service
at the Congregational church when
the baccalaureate sermon was
preached by the Rev. Edgar T. Far
ril1 from the text: David prevailed
over the Philistine and slew him.
After painting the picture of the
meeting of the youth and the giant,
the speaker paralle1ed the old time
conditions with those Of this day.
The giant of today is evil, and upon
the youth of the present time is to de-
pend the vanquishment of the mon
ster as he attacks government, bust
ness, society and the home. AS
David carefully selected the pebbles
which with his sling were to do the
work of destruction in the contest, so
the youth Of our day should get and
cultivate for like use, gumption,
grip, grit. Each of these was defined
and its use illustrated. The sermon
closed with strong appeal to the
graduating class, in whose honor and
for whose benefit the service was
held.
Promptly at 3 O'Clock as the march
sounded from the organ played by
Mrs. HOLSTER, the classes marched in
in turn, beginning with the Fresh
man. Each class was headed by it's
president, and led by an usher Of the
church. Next to the Senior class,
which was present in full number,
the Junior received commentator
for it's full ranks. This class gave
the direct escort to the Seniors. The
Board of Education, the Superinten-
dent of schools, and the faculty oc-
cupied front seats.
The two chorus numbers and the
quartet number were finely rendered
under the direction Of Prof. Hubbard,
the leader of the choir. It was a
great satisfaction to the Senior class
that so large congregation, filing
the house, showed interest in this to
them important occasion of gradua-
tion week.

Unexplained Disappearance
Of Joseph Moons.
HIS WIFE IS VERY SICK
Moons, Who Was Steady and Faithful
Employee Of City Water Depart
ment, Was Last Seen on
Wednesday Night.


There are various stories to account
for the strange disappearance Of Joseph
Moons, an employee Of the city water
department, who left his home and sick
wife on Prospect street Wednesday night,
and has not been seen or heard from
since. The police have been looking for
him, but up TO the present time have
not the slightest clue as to his where
abouts
Moons is a Portuguese and not very
much is known about him in Barre, but
lie is said to be steady, industrious
fellow, and very good worker. Supt-
Allen Of the water department, where he
had been employed for about year,
says that Moons was one Of the best
workmen that he has ever had, and is
unable to give a reason why he should
leave Of his own volition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moons lived in tene-
ment of Abram Mann on Prospect streea
and to all appearances were happy to-
gether. They were married last spring.
Mrs. Moons has been sick for some time
with heart trouble, and Is confined to
the bed. On Wednesday the girl wha
has been employed there was away.
and the husband took care of his wife.
That night the man disappeared. Mrs
Moons says that quite often during the
early evening and night her husband
ltrf ft1n 4uf<. h1x- - Il
asleep. The last time she remembers
was at eleven o'clock. She went to
sleep after that and woke up the next
morning to find Mr.. Moons gone. He
didn't appear, SO she got word to friends,
who in turn notified the police. Officers
were searching yesterday but could not
find anyone who had seen Moons.
Il has been determined, however, that
his entire bank account, amounting to
S1o0, was withdrawn by him and THAT
he had also the wages coming to him
from the water department, about s65.
His clothing and other things were left
But there are no funds remaining for
the wife, whose sickness has taken q
turn for the worse since the strange
disappearance Of the man, and who is
therefore dependent upon friends because
Of her inability to care for herself. Some
lof Moons acquaintances say that ha
has decided to return TO his former home
in Portugal, and the trains out of Barre
and Montpelier have been watched. But
it is probable that II he left town he
went by the midnight train Wednesday
night. It is scarcely thought that he
has met with any harm, although that
is possible.

PRISONER SET FIRE
TO HIS OWN CLOTHES
And Burned to Death in the County
Jail at Newark, N. jim Spite
of Efforts of the Prison
Guards

Newark, N j.. Nov 10.---Michael Me-
Dermott, who was serving q 10 days
sentence for drunkenness, burned him-
self TO death last night in padded cell
Of the county jail. The smoke from the
FIRE and the odor Of the burning flesh
created panic among the hundred
prisoners in the Jail, which required the
best efforts Of the keepers to subdue.
Men and women made frantic efforts
to tear away the iron bars Of their cell
doors, and were in snch condition af-
ter quiet had been restored that medical
attention was necessary.
McDeFmott was committed to jail
last Monday. Tuesday he became un-
ruly and he was transferred to padded
cell. Last night, after the prisoners
had retired, the guards on duty smelled
smoke. In some manner McDermott had
set fire to his clothing, which was burn
ing fiercely when the guards arrived.
AT the sight Of the keepers the prisoners
burst into agonized screams. The keep
ers made an effort to rescue the man,
but he fought them until they had to
run from the cell to avoid suffocation.
A second attempt at rescue was made,
and this time the guards though badly
burned succeeded in getting McDermott
out He was dead when the doctors
arrived.
The smoke and noise and the odoi
Of the fire awakened all the prisoners
who screamed for help. Some Of the
women beat themselves against the eel
doors until they fell exhausted. Some
| hurt themselves badly in the struggle
for freedom.

HAVE BEEN SWEPT AWAY
FROM TRUTH MOORINGS." "
Says Governor Herrick of Ohio in State
ment Explaining His Defeat by
the Democratic Candi-
date, Pattison.

Columbus, o., Nov. 1o.--Gov. Herrick
last night issued the following statement
over his defeat in Tuesdays election;
@The people OF Ohio BY substantial
plurality have defeated me for COVER
nor. ! bow to their will, and trust that
their welfare may be the only aim of
the new administration.
"This overthrow of the Republican
party in Ohio was NOT caused by busi-
ness depression or industrial adversely
anywhere in the state or nation; it was
not caused by any mismanagement or
corruption in the condition Of the state
government; it was not caused by any
discomfort on the part Of the people"
He declared that in the business and
legislative departments affairs had been
well managed and added
ssBut despita all these things, the
people Of Ohio have been swept away
from the moorings Of truth by wave
OF prejudice and suspicion.
aThe real issues of the campaign we're
forgotten and the passion that was ap-
pealed to throughout the state was to
strike down something, destroy some
thing, avenge some fancied wrong, avert
some fancied danger.
THE greatest danger now confronting
the American people is the readiness in
| response to some sudden whim or pre-
text to desert party principles and all
when some individual who claims, some
times with sincerity, often with hypoc-
risy, to represent cause that is higher
than party fealty. This spirit which
would decry party government and party
responsibility and establish individual
leadership in its stead, may advance
some personal ambitions, but can ac-
complish no good to society. It offers
the most fruitful field for the demagogus
and the iconoclast; and while some good
men may be swept into power upon
popular wave that overrides principles
the strain upon our institutions and upoI
the fundamental truths which lie at tht
bottom Of our government will leave
the structure weaker rather than strong
er.
Here in Ohio, in this campaign, ans
elsewhere in other political contests w'
have had too many instances of tha'
4 spirit which is ready TO defame and de
stroy in order to profit by the noise"
He said the Democratic leaders arr
everywhere ''procIaiming my defeat a
| a Democratic victory. The attempt Il
give it national significance is alread,
apparent.
soThe returns bear out this claim AM
this purpose on the part Of the Demo
cratic leaders.
"But the success of Democracy i
Ohio is short lived, as it is infre
quent."
Z He said if the people of Ohio disap
proved of his action ON certain legisla
tive measures they acted wisely, 'fo
Iif I had been given second term
would have been actuated by the sam
motives and / would have pursued th
same course whenever the occasion
/ arose."
Pattison's plurality, according to ofiieia
} returns, is 41,705, all the counties bein
) heard from.

Rutland, NOV. 10,--It has been learned
that the gold quartz found in the Green

Rutland, which had aroused much inter-
est among the marble quarrymen in this

amount sufficient to warrant the install

LAW is DETRIMENTAL
And VIII Greatly Increase the Cost of
the Panama Canal--Spoke at
Banquet in Washington Last
Night.

Washington, Nov. 10. Theodore p.
Shonts, the chairman OF the isthmiar
canal commission, was the principal
speaker at joint session at the Ameri-
can Hardware Manufacturers associa-
tion and National Hardware associa-
ton at the new Willard Hotel last night
There was large attendance Of mem-
bers OF both associations. MFR. Shonts
spoke in part as follows:
In order to make the isthmus a place
fit to live in and TO work in, there were
three fundamental tasks which had to
be performed in advance OF all others.
First Thorough sanitation OF the
isthmus.
Second Providing suitable habita-
tions for all ciasses of employees.
Third Providing a system OF food
supply which would afford to all ems
ployes opportunity Of obtaining wholc-
some food at reasonable cost.
In my opinion it is d mistake to handi-
cap the construction OF the Panama canal
by any laws save those of police and
sanitation. want to 20 on record here
|that the application Of the eight-honr
law, Of the contract labor law, Of the
Chinese exclusion act or of any other
law passed, or to be passed by Congress
for the benefit of American labor at
home, to labor on the isthrnus Ii d seri-
GUS error. Over so per cent of the en-
ployes OF the canal win be aliens. A ma
lority of the other 20 per cent employed
will be in clerical or supervisory ca.
pacity. The application of these laws
on the isthmus viii benefit d very small
number Of American laborers but will
enormously add to the cost OF construc-
ton, and American labor at home will
have TO pay its share OF the consequent
increase in taxation. AS business men

New York, Nov. l0.--Attorney Cen
eral Mayer stated last night that he had
received information of the recovery

Attorney General Mayer left his of

that nothing could be gained by his re-

refused to discuss the reported finding
of the ballot boxes in the river, further
than to say that such reports had come
to him, it being said the boxes were pick

A ballot box alleged to have beer
stolen and discovered by accident last
night was taken to District Attorney

Front Of an Approaching
Train

New York, Nov. 10.-Ihe story that
