Postofflce Robbed.

Postoff!ce Robbed. When Edith
NJ. Brooks, the postmistress, went to the
Office Thursday morning she found the
safe cracked and her little store gener-
ally demoralized. Investigation showed
that a little after midnight three men
had visited the place, coming to the vii
lage in a team. They secured cold
chisel from the neighhoring blacksmith
shop and forced their entrance into the
postoftice through the outside door
They drilled q hole into the safe and
then cracked it with nitro glycerine. In
their haste to secure everything valu-
able they failed to notice a large pack
age of stamps in the original package
which was in the back of the same and
they did not secure the money from the
money order department. AS they took
all the records the postmistress cannot
accurately estimate the exact loss, but
as it consisted of loose stamps and
change the loss to the department will
not be large and is likely to be less than
800. The postmlstress had a news
paper and hook business and as she kept
her money in the safe she will lose that
amount.
The explosion awakened Fred Rogers
who lives over the postohice, and he saw
three men walking leisurely away from
the building, but he did not connect this
fact with any robbery or safe cracking
and went back to bed. A lady in tn,
village also saw team about midnight
which is now believed to be the ont
used by the robbers.
The postofice is situated in the frs
floor of the Union block and there ar
three other stores in the block Onl
two weeks ago the safe at Richardson
grist mill was cracked and it is possib
that both jobs were done by the sam
gang. 1t is also possible that this i
another job of the gang that have bee
operating throughout this section TO
the past three years, their especia
attention being directed to country post
offices.
The postmistress has held this pos
ton for about seven years and previous
ly to her appointment served as man
years as assistant postmistress.

TIE pith of the argument against all
such mobs as that which hanged the
negro, James, at Cairo, was expressed
when Gov. Deneen said: "There is not
a question hut that those who committed
the atrocious crime at Cairo would have
been punished by due process of law had
the matter been submitted 10 the
courts" This is the consideration which
robs mob violence even in such aggra-
waited cases as that at Cairo of its single
justification of fear of defeat OF
Justice. Justice would have melted to
James the severest penalty of the law.and
worse than that the mob could not inflict
As for example, his execution by the
law would have been much more i'm
pressive than. his execution by the mol
can possibly be.

THANKSGIVING ProcI q nation.

Again the crowded storehouses of the
husbandman and the glory of the noun.
tain sides remind us of the time-honored
custom of our fathers of setting apart
day of solemn thanksgiving to the boun.
tiful Benefactor of all men for His
abundant blessings and Ills faithful
care. The twelve-month past has seen
all unparalleled return of prosperity,
wide as the continent. Established en-
terprises are again fourishing, and new
industries springing up. Moral reforms
are steadily advancing, and social con-
ditions improving. The contest for
equal laws is prosecuted with less bitter
ness and clamor, and men are looking
less to impractical panaceas and more
to improvement in character and gen
eral intelligence as the ground of their
hope for the better days to be. Peace
prevails among the nations, and the con-
viction that the welfare of each is the
welfare of all is rapidly approaching.
Therefore, |, George Herbert Prouty,
Governor of the State of Vermont, do
set apart Thursday, the twenty fifth day
OF November, current, as day of public
thanksgiving, and recommend that up
on that day our people gather in their
respective churches and assemble at
their tiresides to return thanks to Al
mighty God; for the good land and the
large bounty which he has given to our
fathers for the grandeur of the granite
mountains, the strength of the forest
covered hills, and the peaceful plenty of
the fertile valleys; for the laughter of
little children, the persistent hopeful
ness of manhood, and the quiet trustful-
ness of old age: for the opportunities of
service with which life is filled, and the
sweetness of rest when toll has been
faithful and hard for the difficulties
that try manhood's mettle and the OBJ
stacles which furnish the joy of over
coming: for the privilege of working
for the common good and for the hard
tasks which the past has left upper.
formed: for the hope of better world
and kingdom that is beyond.
If IN any community there are those
that want, let the bounty of the more
favored banish on that day the sting of
poverty. Let every hearth spread wide
welcome to the children who have re-
moved to distant cities, and in every
village and hamlet let returning sons
and daughters bring good cheer and
fond recital of old time joys. Let our
thoughts flow together on the noble
record of our good State, the honor in
which she is held throughout the ma
ton, and the substantial foundation
that has been laid for future welfare.
In the observance of the thanksgiving
custom let us renew the thankful spirit,
and take courage from the blessings of
the past for the work that is still before
us.
Given under my hand and the seal of
the State this tenth day of November,
in the year of our Lord, one thousand
nine hundred nine, and of the indepen-
dence of the United States the one hun
bred and thirtyfourth.

MURDERER MOorei
IVA The first impulse OF ore even
falsely accused Of crime is to hide.
As In o flash, too Tom realized all the
peril of his situation.
Milliceat, he saw, must have mistake en-
for him the Hght-haired murderer.
Moreover, with his features previously
imprinted on her brain, anG only a con-
fused and excited recollection Of the aC-
tuaI assassin. she would very probably
still continue TO Identify him as such.
And against her positive accusation
her positive accusation and hts having
apparently lain in hiding for a week
what would he have to offer2
Nothing but what would seem a pal
pably invented tale, for which he could
furnish no proof. since even though he
were to lead the officers into the tong g
stronghold that would be no evidence in
his favor, unless he were also able 70
produce the missing girl, and she, Of
cOul Sc, would be killed or spirited away
10 some other hiding-plaCe upon the first

Chivalry before had prompted him q
seek her rescue-chiValry and a feeling
Of compa ssiou. Now he had the strong
est possible incentive, the desire to save
