TWO ELOPERS CAUGHT.
Were Both Married and We're Living
Together as Man and Wife.

Montpelier, Jan. S.---The March term
of Washington County Court bids fair
to have several cases for trial of more
than usual interest Burton Keith
aged 40. and Mrs. Charles b. Jononnott
aged 80. both married and both of
Nashua, N. H., were lodged in Wash
ington county Jail to-day charged with
adultery. They were given a hearing
before Justice c. T.. Jones of Waits
field where they were arrested. and
bound over for tho Marcn term Of
county court with bail fixed at 5000
in each case. This tney We're unable
to raise and were remandcd to Jail
The story of this clipping couple
reads like fiction. Last July Mrs. Jo-
honnott left her husband at Nashua,
ostensibly to visit in Burlington, Vt,
for a month, leaving her 17-year- old
daughter to care for her father. Wnen
she did not return to her home and
when Mr.. Johonnott learned that Keith
of whom he had been suspicious, had
left his business in Nashua, ne went
on their trail. He located the couple
last Saturday on the farm of Abel
| I'm iceland in Waitsteld, where Oc-
tober last they hired out as man and
wife for a year. Papers for their ar
rest were made out by States Attor-
ney S. HOLSTER Jackson and were
served by Deputy Sheriff Homer Camp
OF Barre.
Mr.. Johonnott was in Montpelier last
week looking for his wife and through
livery man at Middlesex he finally located
Keith at the Kneeand farm, His suspic-
ions that his wife was there also proved
correct. 1t is alleged that when Mrs. Jo-
honnott left Nashua last summer she took
several hundred dollars belonging to her
husband For all that he is willing to
forgive her and said to-day If he had the
money he would furnish the bail and take
her back to Nashua with him.

MANAGER SPEARS REPORT.
Victor |. Spear of Randolph. manager Of
the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers mar
kct. made his report and made sugges-
tons to tho sugar makers for the proper
manufacture and sale of their product.
Mr.. Spear reported that the past year
had been a satisfactory one to the sugar
makers with the price remaining very
even since last spring. Such a condition
he said is good and should he maintained.
The association should aim to secure n
fair price and then maintain it without
variation. He urged the sugar makers not
to put the product up in the form of tub
sugar--the form in which the mixers use
it but to convert it into maple syrup,
in which form it is the most saleable.
He estimated that the maple sugar maxi
ers of the State lost 100000 during the
season of 1905 by not putting the product
out in the shape of syrup and the season
was a good one too. lie urged the import
ance of putting up the goods in neat and
attractive form and emphasized the i'm
portance of improving the quality of the
maple product. y general discussion of
the questions touched upon by Mr.. Spear
followed his remarks,
APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.

committees which are as follows:

THE NONIOUS TOOTHBRUSH
The latest article to fall under COM
demnation as harborer of microbes
(and ono wonders that it was not the
firsD is the toothbrush. In homes with
out number the brushes OF the family
are kept in the bathroom exposed to the
air and every flying bit of dust or other
impurities. The remedy suggested is an
tiseptic absorbant cotton, Il fresh and
surgically clean piece every time the
teeth are cleaned. Directions for using
the cotton are given as follows; Take a
piece the size of a walnut, soak in fresh
water. roll into a wad, sprinkle tooth
powder over 1t, and then holding it be-
/ tween thumb and foreinger cleanse the
teeth. strength in cleaning the teeth
is Of far less importance than thorough
ness, ana the soft cotton never causes
abrasion Of the mucous membrane of the
mouth or soreness of the gums. For soft
gums that bleed easily Il few drops of

are ccanscd will be found excellent.

man. j. w. Sanborn both of Rutland,
were badly scaldcd about the face and
hands but their injuries from which they
will soon recover, were the most serious
sustained by persons on the train.
Tho wreck was caused by the malicious
opening Of The switch and allowing the
south bound train to come in on the siding
and crash into a string of IA freight cars.
An examination plainly showed that the
lock on the switch had been hammered
open with IA large stone, which was found
nearby and that the lantern which would
have showed the red light when the switch
was thrown over, had been removed from
the standard and dropped between the
switch ties outside of the rails. Two
empty whiskey bottles were found on the
embankment near the opened switch.
The train was made up OF combination
mail and smoker. a baggage car. a day
coach and three slccpers. When the loco
motive struck the freight cars it ploughed
its way through until its force was spent
and came to a stop on its side and lying
almost dagonally across the track. The
baggage car climbed the locomotive. The
mail car was DETECTED to the right of the
track and went up a six-foot embank-
| ment almost to the backdoor Of n house
near the track. The day coach hung on
the edge OF the embankment.s The for
ward sleeper only was deralcd. the two
rear Pulmans remaining on the track.
The accident occurred shortly after two
o'clock and when the people awakened
| by the crash came hurryng to the scene
Of the wreck IT was soon ascertained that
| the engineer and fireman were the only
persons much hurt. a wreck train was
summoned from Rutland and II large
crew by working all day cleared the
track for the south bound train in the
evening.
| An investigation was at once begun but
as yet no clue has been discovered that
will lead to the detection of the train
wrecker.
