Wife Of MiddIetewn, O., Man
Finds Masked Man in
Her Room.
USES AN ANCIENT WEAPON
HITS HIM WITH FLAT OF SWORD
AS he FLEEs AND THE THIEF

with a sword, Mrs. E. S. Clark of
Broadway, wife of a we'll known local
encounter. Mrs. Clark discovered
masked man in her bedroom. She put
him to flight without awakening her
husband until the marauder had flown
While Mrs. Clark was at home alone
house. They We're unsuccessful. They
returned last evening and had better
success until Mrs. Clark was awak-
ened.
When Mrs. Clark discovered the man
he was searching pair of her hus-
bands trousers. When the thief saw
he had been detected he started for a
door located at the head of a flight of
stairs that led from the first floor.
Since the attempt of last Friday night
Mrs. Clark always placed heavy
sword at her bedside The sword was
used by her grandfather in the civil
war and prior to last weeks attempt
to enter the Clark home the weapon
occupied a conspicuous place on the
bed room wall.
Went After Thief With Sword.
Without disturbing her husband Mrs.
Clark grabbed the sword and started
after the fleeing man. For fear of
killing the thief she turned the weapon
sideways and cracked the thief across
the back and sent him tumbling down
the stairs. In an instant Mrs. Clark
was at his side. She beat the thief
across the head with the butt of the
weapon until he dropped the trousers
and fled
Mrs. Clark then returned to her bed
room and aroused her husband who
was asleep in the same room the en-
counter started in. Clark grabbed Il
revolver that was lying under his pill
low and shot three times out of a win
dow.
For the past two weeks a gang of
burglars have been abroad in this city,
and no less than a dozen places have
been entered. The police have adopted
extra precautions to nab the thieves,
but to no success. The other nights
affair at the Clark home is the climax
to the series of crimes. An attempt
was also made to enter the Conner
home on Second street.
THE men who make a living by
making styles for men usually pay
little attention to summer garments,
and devote their time to winter wear"
says a letter from Ostend. This
year. however. is an exception in that
respect. Yachting, bathing. lounging.
golfing. tennis and automobile styles
laid down years ago have not been
disturbed, but mems evening clothes
have received attention. Those who
glory in being properly dressed and
who rejoice in the knowledge that
others copy their styles have appeared
at evening parties in the conventional
dress. save that waistcoat. socks and
tie were the same color as the gowns
worn by the women whom they es-
corted This may be looked upon as
a new idea. but it is simple an imi
tation of the old calico ball fashion.

WOMAN PULLS HEAVIEST LOAD
Point Of View Which Is Seldom Given
Adequate Consideration.

For centuries woman has been, with
comparatively few exceptions, a play
thing or drudge; overindulged in
pleasure and idleness, or cursed with
burden whose weight few men can
conceive. A system that places upon
woman's shoulders three-quarters OF
the burden is inevitably degrading. A
man receives credit for supporting his
family even when the wife. by work
ing early and late. contrives to turn
his earnings into a value treble that
of the original amount. The difference
in the value of barrel of -four as It
Is purchased and after II has been
made into bread has been reckoned
many times-but "the man." and not
the woman, supports the family"
Nor is a woman's work done when an
income has been stretched 10 its linn.
It, II money value could be placed
upon her work as mother and wife
not that any one wishes to do such a
thing-it would indeed be clear that
the woman pulls the heaviest part OF
the load. That such condition should
carry with 1t its antithesis In the WON

Some persons seem TO have opened
more eyes than others, they see with

a spent or impotent bullet. How many

many did Henry Thoreau? How many
did Audubon? How many does the hunt

TIE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MELHS Death

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? Il prevails IN that
far-away Oountry-Africa-es especially
the Congo district. It Is caused By
the bite Of the tsetss ny. When It
bites a person. the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful.
bs.S1y sleep Of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night. tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetss
fly bite US we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can We pre-
vent II? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City. Pa writes: 81 had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, II
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now Isleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, It will
DO for every rundown, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.

The sentence imposed by Judge
Stanton, the latest-elected member
of the superior court, upon Charles
Marston of Middlebury will meet with
general approval. Five years at hard
labor is none too severe punishment
for the crime for which Marston vas
convicted. Although the man was
charged with more serious offence
than simple assault upon young
woman, and the circumstances in the
case would seem to indicate that his
intentions were of that nature, the
jury apparently was of the opinion
that the evidence was not sufficient
to convict and returned a verdict for
the minor degree of assault. Crimes
of this nature are not frequent in Yer
mont and the sentence imposed by
Judge Stanton will have a tendency
to decrease the number in the future.

The Governors Position.

1t was wise move on the part OF
Governor Prouty to declare himself in
relation to the public utilities commits
sion bill and some other pending leg
islation before an audience of his fel-
low townsmen in Newport. 1t will be
remembered that the only attack
made upon the governor regarding the
public utilities bill came from his
home paper, the Newport Express and
Standard, and, that this attack was so
personal in its nature that 1t attracted
good deal of attention AS coming
from the governor of the state, a per-
sonal reply to the charges and insinu-
ations through the public press would
have been inconsistent with the dig
nifty and traditions of the Office but
at home, Gov. Prouty could address
his neighbors gathered in the church
that he regularly attends without en-
dangering proprieties.
AS was to have been expected, Gov
Prouty stated clearly his position and
reminded his listeners that in all his
attitude toward legislation, he has
done no more than to stand firmly
and consistently on the platform OF
the party and upon his own platform
that was made the most important is
sue in the choice of candidates dur
ing the period of his canvas.
He threw back to those who origi-
mated it the charge of personal inter
est in the public supervision of tele-
phone companies, the same as he did
regarding the same charge when II
was made last June, two weeks before
he was nominated. While, probably,
there was no necessitious reason for
Governor Prouty to repeat any state
ment Of his position, his emphatic
squaring of himself in the community
where the charges have persistently
reappeared, is to be commended.
Further than this, no unimpOrtant
part OF his utterance was devoted TO
distinctive praise of the average abil-
ity in the present legislature and .
declaration to the effect that slow pro
gress has been mostly due to the fact
that members have not allowed them
selves to be led by the nose through
depths they did not understand.
The force of Gov. Prouty's address
to his neighbors undoubtedly will add
confidence in the present situation
Coming from the source 1t does, 1t Is
proper that public opinion be held
in allegiance sufficient hime for the
Legislature to show what can be done
by 1t now that 1t has reassembled at
ter a fortnight's Notwithstanding
ton Clipper.

Salaries for sheriHs.

basis will be received with general
approval, we think. The fee system
is a relic of antiquity, entirely out OF
place in modern business methods

income of the officers is, and this alone
is enough to condemn the system

to the bill. 1T will not cost the state
any more and it takes away the in.
centiye to make money out of the
transportation of prisoners to the pc
nal institutions, In a criminal pros
ecution the sheriff's charge is set up
against the prisoner but the money
goes directly to the state"

SEARCH FOR STOLEN
GOODS WAS PROPER
Jacksonville PajaronianO

The paid panderers of the press ap-
pear to be much concerned over the
action of the officers of the law in
searching the premises of Patrick Cal
houn's United Railroads in an effort to
locate property stolen from the court
records of the city of San Francisco,
truthfully comments the Oakland En-
quirer. The hysterical concern of these
organs of the interests and the higher
ups is about as appropriate as 1t would
be to shed salt tears over the raiding
of a fence" in a search for stolen
goods. Editorial broadsides by the paid
organs of Patrick Calhoun, the United
Railroads, the interests and the higher
ups, that are defendants not only be-
fore the courts but at the bar of public
opinion, will not convince any right
thinking citizen of California that the
action of the officers in proceeding to
search the safe in the United Railroads
Offices was not a proper exercise of the
right of search, which is a necessary
prerogative OF the police power

fnoDn state papers:

seem to have gotten busy in their ne
farious work of corruption.
They hired some employees OF the
district attorneys office to steal evil
dence that had been accumulated there
against them. They have been trying
to corrupt jurors right along and they
were morally if not legally, respon-
sible for the attempt to murder Heney.
If these higher ups are so inno-
cent as they claim to be, why do they
resort TO such crimes to prevent their
having a fair trialP Their course is
suggestive OF guilt rather than inno-
cence and their latest move will not
strengthen the effect of their protesta-
tions of virtue.
