ABSOLUTE CURE
OF SKIN ERUPTION
Broke Out on Hips and Legs-Was
So Sore, Irritating and Painful
that Little Sufferer Could Not
Sleep Scratched Constantly and
Kept Growing Worse.
CUTICURA'S EFFECT
QUICK AND PERMANENT

when about two and half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts Of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. IL
began in October; the first l noticed
was a little red surface and constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out OF
them. l had two doctors treat her, but
she grew worse under their treatment.
Then bought the Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticure Resolvent,
and only used them two weeks when she
was entirely well. This was in Febru-
ary. She has never had another rough
place on her skin, and she is now four
teen years old. / used only half the
bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent and less
than a box of Cuticura Ointment. Mrs.

VT. SCHOOLS NUMBER 1889
Rutland County Has Largest Nun.
Der, With This County Second
The Transportation Fund.

The school report upon which
State Superintendent of Education
Mason S. Stone has been working
the past few weeks is now nearly
completed and some of the statistics
are very interesting. In the past
few years the school system has
been materially changed. In 1908
there were hundred fewer schools
than in 1907, this being accounted
for by the discontinuance of small
schools and more money spent for
the transportation Of pupils from
the smaller districts. In the COM
parison given below it will be seen
that there was a gain of 20 in the
number of schools in the state and
of the 20, Washington county gain
ed Is. In 1906, the number of
schools was 2,497 in 1907, 2,469, in
1908, 1862 and in 1909 for the year
ending March 81, the number was
1889, showing a gain of 20 schools.
Rutland county leads with 254 and
Washington county comes second
with 243. Grand Isle, of course,
were the smallest, with % schools.
This year the transportation ap-
preparation was $4,000, which is
$4,000 more than was spent last
year. This transportation money is
divided among the towns which
spend 80 per cent of their grand list
on their scheels. The towns which
spend between 80 and SO per cent
are allowed one share. between 60
and 20 per cent, one and one-half
shares, between 20 and so per cent,
two shares. These shares are added
and divided by the appropriation,
which gives the percentage that
each town should have. The appro-
priation for Washington county is
| $1,32409. The town of Worcester
| leads the county with an appropria-
iton of S25009, Marshfield is Sec
ond with $13S07. Montpelier does
not receive any of this money. Or
ange county receives the greatest
J amount, $3,17O.29 with Windsor
county seemed, receiving $3,110.12.
This money is to be used only for
! transportation.
The fund for general school pur
| poses has not been figured yet.
There has. been considerable delay
in getting out this report owing to
the fact that several towns have ne
| elected to send in their figures. In
the past few years a more efficient
system of school supervision has
been installed and this system is
now showing much better results.

rung at about lis, but the interior
was Quilted and considerable dam
age done to the goods that were not
burned by the great quantities of
water which it was necessary to
use. E. B. Gilbert and H. A. Hol-
man, the nozzlemen on Hose No. 2,
had a narrow escape from death,
when the roof fell in, as they were
in the attic waiting for water,
which had been shut off Temporal

adjoining room, while Mr.. Gilbert
was pinned under the timbers, fin

A. F. Goodale, the occupant of the
second floor, was aroused by his
mother-in-law, who heard the roar
ing of the flames and looking from
the window, saw them shooting up
the side of the building. He imme-
diately awakened his wife, who,
taking their four months old baby,
rushed to the back stairway to des-
cend to the ground but here their
way was cut off by rush of flames,

the front stairway and had just des-
cended when the fire broke out at

impossible to go back for any prop

INSANITY CAUSES SUICIDE.
Fred Phillips, Patient at the State
Hospital at Waterbury, Found
With TrOat Cut.

Fred Phillips, patient at the
State Hospital for the Insane at
Waterbury, was found after search
on Thursday, lying near the river
bank at the rear of the hospital
grounds, with his throat cut, clear
case of suicide. He was first missed
on Wednesday night, being in the
parole ward where the harmless
patients are kept, but no traces
were found until the next day. He
had been employed in the black
smith shop, where he obtained a
sharp edged tool with which he
committed the deed, the patients be-
ing forbidden the use of edged tools
except in case of necessity.
The dead man lived in Underhill,
where he is survived by wife and
two children, and his body will be
taken to that place for burial. No
blame can be attached to the au-
thorities for the regrettable occur
renee, as the man was practically
free and would have been discharg-
ed in a short time.

LEON COBURN STILL ALIVE.
Body at Portland, Me-, That of
Man Named COItOn-Suicide Was
Not Intended, Ii is Claimed.

An investigation by the authori-
ties of Portland, Me-, relative to the
finding of body thought to be that
of Leon Coburn, formerly Of this
city, shows that the post card re-
ceived by parties in Montpelier tell
ing Of his death, conveyed false
information, as the body is that OF
a man named Cotton.
A representative OF the Journal
called Thursday on Mrs. Anna
L. Huntoon, Coburn's former board
ing mistress, and she said that in
her opinion Leon Coburn was not
dead as he was recently seen in
Woodsville, N. II. She further stat
ed that on July 4th last, the day
that Coburn fired shot through his
left shoulder, he had no intention Of
killing himself, but only intended
firing through the window to scare
her into giving him money. Instead
the bullet penetrated h shoulder.
making bad wound. He then went
away to recuperate and about a
week ago postal was received by
parties in town saying that Leon
Coburn was dead in Portland, Me.
His body was to have come here
Thursday for burial.
An investigation carried on by
Walter II. Dresser, chief Of police,
of Portland, Me-, resulted in the
finding of a paper on the body, bear
ing the name Cotton" The remains
were ready to be removed to this
city when this was found, but act
ing on this clue, Chief Dresser sent
for William Coburn, Of Bangor,
Me-, brother of the supposed dead
man to identify the body before it
was sent here. The elder Coburn,
however, stated emphatically that it
was not his brother. No marks of
any kind could be found about the
to enable the authorities to
identify it as that of Leon Coburn.
AS a result the remains were in
tered in the cemetery at Portlan
this morning at o'clock.
Mrs. John Simmons, Of % North
field street, sister of Leon Coburn,
when seen Thursday exhibited a
telegram which she had received
from Portland, which said that no
person by the name of Coburn, or
of the description given Of Mr.. Co
burn had died there, and that the
body then in the morgue was that
of a man named "Colton."
1t is presumed, therefore, that
Leon Coburn is still alive, although
has been heard from him
for over two weeks.
A rather serious charge is made
against Mr.. Coburn by Mrs. Hun
toon. She states that on the day
he left this city, he cashed a check
at one of the local banks, bearing
her signature and calling for $25,
payable to him. She stoutly asserts
that she signed no such check and
claims that the signature was
forgery, notifying the authorities
of the fact at the time. She discov-
cred the fact that the check had
been cashed by calling at the bank
to ascertain the amount of her bal

Stubborn Fire on Barre Street
Destroys Effects of Three House.
holds-Narrow Escapes For In.
mates of Burning Building-May
Have Been Incendiary.
One of the most stubborn fires of
recent years broke out about II
o'clock Friday night at SO Barre
street, causing damage amounting to
about $4,000 and endangering the
lives of many persons. Three fam
lilies were aroused from sleep and
obliged to fee for their lives with
out moment to collect their effects
or even to gather up more than a
few canty articles of clothing which
they snatched up in haste. Just
what was the cause of the blaze is
not easy to determine, but it is
strongly intimated that incendiaries
were concerned in the affair, as two
men were seen running from the
rear of the building shortly before
the fire alarm was turned in. This
view of the situation is borne out
by the fact that the entire back
wall of the house seemed to be all
ablaze in an instant the flames
leaping up toward the roof with
amazing rapidity and enveloping
one corner of the building almost
instantly.
The fire was discovered by ]. f.
Chennette and NJ. McGovern, who
were standing at the corner of Barre
and Charles streets, short distance
from the building. They suddenly
noticed the flames rising above the
roof and Immediately turned in an
alarm, and on running toward the
place, saw A. r. Goodale. who oc-
cupied the second floor of the tene-
ment rush out upon the balcony at
the front of the house, and shout
for help. Several persons who were
passing along the streets at the
time, assisted in saving a small
part of the furniture belonging to
John Connolly on the first floor,
but were driven from their work by
the flames eating their way rapidly
toward them. This all occurred
within short space of time, be-
fore the fire apparatus reached the
scene, and Immediately on it's ar
rival, attention was at once given to
the rear of the house, where there
seemed to be more imminent dang
er. Streams were turned on at this
point, but in a moment or two the
flames burst out on the upper side
of the house, endangering the next
tenement and calling one stream
away to attend to this portion Of
the blaze.
The firemen who were sent into
the upper rooms to fight the flames.
were hindered considerably by
smoke. but they succeeded in stop
ping the progress of the blaze at
that point after some good work.
The hip roof gave the most trouble.
as the blaze continued to burst out
first from one point and then an
other when it seemed that the first
was well under control, it being
finally necessary to get at the roof
with axes to find the smouldering
timbers that were causing the
trouble During this time another
stream was sent up the front stair
way to drive the fire toward the
rear of the building, which was fin
ally accomplished, but not until af-
ter the roof had fallen in and al
most the entire rear portion of the
house demolished. The call out" was

Should the facts of the case prove
that the signature on the check was
forged by Coburn, as indications
tend to show at present, it would
seem as if the postal card telling of
his death, were a part of a scheme
to throw the local authorities off
the track.
