Official Shiftlessness.

The st. Adams Messenger finds
fault, somewhat mildly, because some
town clerks in the state do not res
pond to appeals from newspapers for
official returns as to town meetings
and town elections.
We are sorry to say that this is, to
a certain extent, justifiable, as there
are town clerks, we know in our eX-
perience, that ignore any request for
information. This is not true, let us
say, as TO Lamoille county clerks, be-
cause they are always courteous and
reply promptly to any request. But
there are some, few we are pleased
to say, but just enough to make a
correct compilation of election returns
incomplete, because of their indiffer-
ence to the request asked for. Tais
ought not to be and nobody should
take the Office OF town clerk unless
they are willing to answer requests
from the public. We do not know but
that the best way to get at these "ob
structionists" is to make it compul
sorry for them to answer legitimate
questions within a certain time. This
| might wake them up to the fact that
they are public Morrisville

ROBBED NEWFANE BANK
Befountain Slim, Famous Yeggman
Caught in Baltimore

Boston, May 21.-Word has been
received int his city that Postoffice
Inspector Lawrence Leatherman of
Boston, aided by Inspectors Robinson
and Moseley of his Office and John
ODonnell, had arrested one of the
most desperate yegg burglars in the
country in Baltimore.
The prisoner is H. A. Scott, alias
Lawrence Cochran, alias Belfoun-
tain Slim, who has police records
all over the country for robbing post
offices and banks and blowing safes.
He is arrested now, charged with
being one of party of yeggs which
robbed the bank at Newfane, VT, on
Aug 4, 1904, and during the opera
tion shot the Waterman at the bank.
several of the yeggs were arrested
and one was shot, but he recovered.
Belfountain Slim escaped at the
thine the police declare, with $3.50,
and he has been sought persistently
ever since. He has been traced all
over the country, and several times
he has been followed through the
New England states. He will be
brought to Boston on his way to
Vermont where he will be held for
trial. His pals are now serving
long sentences in the Windsor pris-
on in Vermont.

FRANK 3. H0vE, Editor and Psblisher

Although Judge e. i. Waterman
has reduced the verdict in the
damage suit brought by Mrs. f. l..
Davis against the Rutland railroad
company from Sl1, 900 to $1,000 upon
a petition presented to the court by
the attorneys of the corporation,
newspaper reports state that the case
is likely to be again taken to the SUI
preme court by the defendant. The
plaintiff in the case lost her husband,
who was an engineer, in an accident
for which he could in nowise be held
responsible. His locomotive was
struck by runaway train and he was
killed in the collision. Two county
court juries have returned verdicts
against tne railroad and the company
probably realizes that it is liable for
the accident, but with the perversity
which has always characterized the
attitude of corporations in negligence
suits, continues to fight the case Cor
porations may some day come to
realize that they themselves are
largely responsible for the antago-
nistic attitude of iuries and the peo-
pie at large in the matter of negli-
gence cases.

upon whom Heney depends more than
any one else for evidence that will

this statement, declaring 1t improper

against the defense and then Helms
was permitted to tell mis- story.

ITO him that hath shall be given"
The city of Schenectady, which
through the location within its limits
of the General Electric company's
shops, the big locomotive works and
other manufactures, has made the
greatest industrial growth of any
municipality in the east. has held out
the inviting hand and the state of
Vermont is to lose "even that which
it hath The Atwood suspender fac
tory at Swanton and the overall fac
tory of Hooker, Coarser & Mitchell at
Brattleboro are to be moved to the
hustling New York City. Schenec-
tady doesn't need the two Industries
half so much as the communities that
have lost them. but tne competition
|of modern business cannot take this
fact into consideration. While Yer
mont is able to offer many induce
ments to manufacturers to locate In
the state, one prominent feature will
always work out to the disadvantage
of the state and that is the tendency
of workmen to flock to the larger
centers of population. The attempts
of the shoe manufacturers of Mas
sachusetts to take up locations in this
state and at other localities in New
England some years ago failed for
tne reason that it was impossible to
divert the shoe makers from the es-
tablished shoe manufacturing cities
and the industry again became cen
tered in the towns from which IL had
been attempted to divert it. Sche-
nectady is a big manufacturing city
and naturally the conditions favorable
to manufacturing prevail there. 1t is
because of this fact that two Vermont
towns have sustained the losses that
have recently come to thems The
only remedy is for the people of the
state to look over the general stu
alton in the Industrial world and to
endeayor to secure manufactures to
which existing conditions appeal

How He Sought for and Found
Happiness.

At the time when l had lost all in.
terest in my personal. individual life
but had not yet acquired q religious
interest ian inspiration to the general
good of humanity, l was Mortified
by my position. But I found peace
the moment l had found a religious
sentiment impelling me to think Of
the good of humanity. In this thought
at the same time, found full satisfac-
ton of my desire for personal happi
ness. The same thing is going on
now. although my former passionate
desire to make mankind happier has
weakened. l am overcome sometimes
by a certain terror as il stood before
an immense abyss. But the aspiration
to. and the preparation for, q new life
replace the former conditions which
they were born out of; and in them
there is happiness both for the indi.
vidual and for all humanity. Prepar.
ing for the new life. l attain at the
same time my former aim, the good
OF humanity. more surely than when
this was my only aim. Aspiring to
attain God. aspiring to a purity of di.

Every section has its famous story.
A famous story that is being re-told in
Oregon is about a very rich banker
who got his start by doing work for
the government. His bill was $1,000
and it had to be submitted to congress.
Congress has habit of cutting its bills
in two. To make allowance for this,
he jumped his bill to $4,000. He
sent the bill to the governor for his
approval. The governor, having also
heard that congress generally appro-
priated only half as much as was
asked, jumped it to $4,000. The
bill was then sent to one of the con-
gressmen. Being friendly to the con-
tractor, he jumped it to $40, 900, and
sent it to another Oregon congressman
for his approval. The second congress.
man jumped it to $4,000. Congress
allowed the whole $4,000, although
the Contractor was entitled to only
5000. This is told as fact in Ore.

was that the capsule incasing the liver
