STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE
North Troy hlan Steps Out of Home and
Has NOT Been Heard from Since.
That Was November 3.

A mysterious disappearance that
battles all attempts at solution occurred
on the evening Of November 3 at
about 80 when Erdix Drown. a we'll
known resident of Main street. North
Troy, stepped out of his dwelling and
to the street and has not been seen or
heard from. Mr.. Drown left his home
with the remark that he had a head
ache and would so out and walk it off.
Where he went or which way his foot
steps were directed, nobody knows.
Failure to return during the evening,
inquiries were made by the members
OF the family ana relatives, but no one
who has been questioned on the sub
Ject has seen the missing man since he
left home. Wednesday morning large
squads of men searched the fields and
woods for distance of two miles in
all directions and continuing the quest
till nightfall. The river has also been
dragged but as yet no trace of the man
car be found. Communication with
relatives out of town fails to shed light
on the mystery. Mr.. browns wife,
VINO has been an invalid for long time
and Tor the past year has required thef
greater part of his time and care, it
Frustrated over her husbands une,-
planned absence. and has gone withfher

A Trip Southa

Geo. F. Reed and son John returned
Friday from their trip to The National
Beagle club field and bench trials
which were held at Chase City, Va,
which is 80 miles south Of Richmond
on the Southern railroad. They say
all the country after leaving Rich
mond shows the effect of the war. The
roads are something terrible and after
a good rain it is nearly impossible to
drive. There are no bridges over the
streams and they have to drive their
teams into the water and wade across.
All around Chase City one comes
across large cotton plantations SEEM
ingly left to go to ruin, one can plainly
see the cotton rows, but now all grown
up to pine trees eight to Is inches
through. Mr.. Reed and his son took
IA dogs and won their share of money
prizes. John won the gold cup with
one of his dogs, which was the best
one in the field and on the bench. On
their return they stopped 1t Washing
ton and Richmond and went to Char
lottesville, Va, where they leased
100 acres of land for the club to hold
their trials on in 1909. They were at
Charlottesville the day of the election
and George made up his mind it was
a good place for a Vermont man to
keep his mouth shut, especially if he
was republican, They report the
Shenandoah valley one of the richest
farming countries in the United States,
the buildings, and fences are all up-to-
date and great fields of heavy corn
are in the shock, one of the largest
crops fo1: years. Wheat is up about
four inches. They report a fine trip
and feel well paid for their time.

FIFTH WEEK
The Legislature Is Working Hard. The
introduction of Bills Is Over, Except
by Unanimous Consent. Sena-
tor Gibson Acting President
of the Senate.

Tom Cheney, speaker of the house.
is willing to receive congratulations on
the splendid work he has been able to
get done during the past week. His
persistent attitude against the ad-
journment for election came near max
ing breach in the ranks, but when
the returns showed that more than two
members had stayed in Mont
pelier to vote and to work. everyone
was willing to concede that the speak
er's efforts had not been in vain.
Although the senate did not get
down to business until !, Wednesday
morning, the record OF the week for
both branches Of the Assembly shows
that more was really accomplished
than during the whole first four
weeks. Owing to the absence of
Lieutenant Governor Mead, Senator
Gibson Of Brattleboro has been presid-
ing in the senate and during the week
has established a reputation as pre-
siding officer. He turns out the work
in true parliamentary style, perfectly
fair but expeditions.
Among the bills introduced the past
week are acts providing for the crea-
tion Of state board of education>eon-
sisting of fiYe~members establishing
branch Of the state laboratory at ST.
Johnsbury; to compel villages to ex-
pend the highway tax upon the streets
and sidewalks; requiring railroad tick
cts to be sold at same price per mile
as mileages; to promote the poultry
interests of the state; to license auto
mobiles, to give blacksmiths lien on
horses shod by them; to create state
tax commission; to compel accident
insurance for employees; to increase
salaries of county clerks; to forbid
dancing or working on Sunday to
make uniform tax rate on intangible
property to enlarge the powers of the
railroad commission; to provide for
nominations by primary elections; to
ventilate the state house: to prevent
hasty marriages to regulate speed of
automobiles and to forbid fishing for
gain.
The following bills have been killed !:
Providing that neither divorced party
may marry for three years that ary-
one might kill dog chasing deer to
protect fur bearing animals; to pre-
vent walking on the railroad track ;
giving bounty on hedgehogs; forbid
ding barb wire fences along the high
way; that bread and cake must be
wrapped in paper. before delivery !;

President Eliot Resigns.

President Eliot Resigns.
President Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward University has resigned to take
effect May 10, next. The resignation
was rendered last month and finally
accepted with regret at the meeting
of the board of overseers last week.
The election of successor will engage
the attention of the governing boards
between now and next May. Presi-
dent Eliot is "A years old and has been
president of Harvard since 1869. The
action revives the report that Roose-
welt will succeed Eliot. Professor
A. Lawrence Lowell, professor of gov
ernment at Harvard, is also mentioned.
The announcement was unexpected and
caused a big sensation in Cambridge
and Boston.
