Negro Acquitted When 1t Is
Proved Girls Accusations
Were Based on Vision.

Pittshurg Sept. 23.-Jesse Carter. n ne
gro. charged with entering a house and
carrying off a l3-year-od white girl. was
acquitted in criminal court Yesterday
Carriers attorneys proved that the al
legged attack on Retta Lacey, daughter of
Thomas Lacey. was made only in a WIS.,
ion. The child dreamed negro came
into her room while her father was at
work. She dreamed that the negro
grabbed her by the throat and gagged
her, then stealthily carried her out and
dropped her by the roadside when a dog
attacked him and raised an alarm
Her father. returning home at the
time. found the child. but could find no
gag. The girl told him Carter had taken
her from the house and Carter was ar
rested A mob gathered in the little town
of Imperial and attempted to lynch him,
but the police, with drawn revolvers
saved his life.
Carriers attorneys proved to the salts
faction of the court that little Retta La
cey has for some time been the victim OF
somna mbulism and that while in such a
state her dreams are so realistic that she
believes them to he true even after she

WHAT OUR NIEGHB0RS SAY
WIDESPREAD CAMPAIGN AGAINST
FOREST FIRES.


The damage done by forest fves I'm 1908
was so extensive that there has been n
widespread movement TO do away with
them. In Maine a series of watch towers
are being built on the important noun
tains connected by telephone. so that a
force OF men can be Immediately ordered
TO fire. In New York .he Public Utili-
ties Commission has ordered that nll
railway locomotives operating in tho Adj
rondacks after next April shall burn oil
for fuel so as to avoid the sparks witch
were such ar important cause Of the fires
last year The lumhermcn Of New York
suffered so much that they influenced the
Legislature to pasg a law compelling all
lumbermen to lop the tops from all soft
trees
This brings the tops down TO the ground
where they are rapidly rotted by snow.
Under present numbering methods these
tops remain finder for forest fires for
a number Of years.
In Vermont the problem Of forest fires
Is more or less local. The state as a whole
is sufficiently cut up by agricultural land
to be exempt from the great fires such
as ravage Maine and New York But
there are certain sections In the Green
Mountains and Essex County whore fires
have always been more or less preva lent
and are considered a necessary evil
The law making the first aelectman re-
sponsihle for putting out fires has done
much to overcome this feeling For tho
most part selectman have been vigorous
in attacking these fires. but unfortunate
~ there are Sill some who do not seem
TO realize their duty In this direction.
The law creating the state Forest Scr
vice provides that the state Forester

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
(From the HardwiclS Gazette.)

The idea that our public schools should
lnculcate habits OF THRIFT and economy in
our future citizens has led 70 the estab-
lishment of school savings banks in dif-
ferent parts Of the State Wherever
these institutions have been started, they
have been successful and the pupils
have laid away good sums Of money
which otherwise would have been invest
ed in penny candy, cigarettes. cheap en-
tertainments, and in other useless ways
The school savings bank system is simply
an arrangement whereby the teacher
works In cooperation with the bank TO
aid the children In forming habits Of
thrift. At a given time the teacher takes
the savings from her pupils. giving each
child a card on which is indicated the
amount Of his deposit, When the child
has deposited n dollar he Is given n bank
book and becomes q regular patron Of
the savings bank. The first school say
ings bank in the country was established
in 1895. Since that date the school chill
aren of the United States have deposited
in different banks the sum Of s. 7s2 0lc 81

WHAT WE MUST FACE.
OFrom the St. Adams Messenrer

O'rom the St Adams Messenger
One by one the York state leaders
come into the Hughes camp on tho pr1-
mary elections law issue. Vermont must
make Its mind to face this very same
demand to give ii intelligent and seri-
Gus consideration. This state must have
some kind of n substitute for its loose
caucus and convention system so long as
the nominations of one party are equiv
alent to an election. II must have a sub
stitute that will provide for as ample
guarantees OF security and honesty as
the law now throws around tho ballot
box. Politicians have thus far succeeded
In postponing the evil day because pub
lie sentiment was indifferent to a new
and not thoroughly understood propo-
sition. The time has come for the change

SHOCKING CHINESE LESSONS.

sort Of shadowy echo Of the dread
full New York case Of Elsie Sigcl, it
appears, mas developed in Salt Lake. In
the case here. however, contrary to the
usual rule that il is the woman who
suffers, this time it is the Chinaman
who went insane over his love affair,
But tho origin is the same in both
eases; the unwisc but well meant con
tact between American women teachers
and grown Cinnamon. These women
teachers think TO teach the Cinnamon
the truth of the gospel and make them
the children Of God. The Cinnamon. on
the other hand, 90 for the purpose of
contact with the American women, and
are pretty apt to try 10 get them to
become children Of the devil.
In New York it appears that the 81
gel girl had two Cinnamon for lovers
and at the same time was corresponding
with an army officer, apparently with
a view TO matrimony; which shows the
extent of depravity into which she had
been led.
In the. Salt Lake case, the Chinaman
comes here crazy with love for n Scat
Tie girl who had been his teacher, but
who, it appears, he was not able to de.
tach from morality and right living;
but that he enGoavorcd 10 do so ap-
pears probable.
Tho lesson Of it all is plain enough.
1t has been known here in the West
for many, many years, and it is path
etcally summarized in the heart broken
ejaculation Of the father Of the Sigcl
girl whore he said: "This should be II
lesson 10 young girls not TO mix with
other than their own people. 1t is
a lesson that has been enforced in grief
and agony many and many time, and
i'll the West there has been a distinct
abatement of The zeal for young women
to mix in this manner with Oriental
races, either by way of teachers or as
sociaics. And if seems that the lesson
is now pretty broadly inculcatcd
throughout the whole Of the United
States IT is to be hoped that it is a
lesson that will not be forgotten, and
that the relations so meretricious may
be wholly broken up.
