OF the names Of Mrs. Story and Mrs.
Scott, the anti Standardization and ad-

and visitors threw aside all semblance
OF restraint in displaying their partisan

to be erected at the corner Of South Main
and Prospect streets in this city, and
the two associations connected with the
granite industry are cooperating with
the new board Of trade in this work,
At conference held by representatives
Of the granite manufacturers, quarry
owners and the board Of trade, held
yesterday, committee was selected to
20 TO Washington to further the inter
ests Of Barre in the matter.
This committee Is as follows: Mayor

facturers, Hugh ]. NJ. Jones, representing
the quarry owners, and x-Mayor Nelson

These men expect to leave tomorrow
night for the capital
The bids for the construction Of the
new federal building are TO be opened,
as advertised, on next Monday, the 26th
Of April, and the Barre committee will
be on the ground at the time. There
are said to he several bids for the con-
tract with Barre granite as the basis,
but not by any local firms. In case
the Barre granite bids should be consid-
cred too high by the government, the
Barre cornmiftae will ,trnp that fha 4rcrk

the post Office would be postponed FOR a
year at least

An Episcopal church ediflce Is TO be
erected at Websterville, and It is hoped
to make a start on the foundation at
once, land having been purchased from
Erastus Keith on the main street leading
to Grauiteville. The site Is next to the
location Of the Baptist church In Web
sterville The new ediiice viii be Of wood
and Of sufficient size to accommodate
this growing mission, which was organ
lied BY Rev. W. J. NJ Beattie, rector of
the Church Of the Good Shepherd in this
city year ago the coming May. or
shortly after he took charge Of the Barre
church The Webstervile mission now
numbers about fifty members.
A meeting OF the mission was held
Tuesday night at the home Of James
Ravcroft. It was very well attended,
and great enthusiasm over the project Of
having a church building was manifested.
The vote TO build was unanimous, and
the following committee was chosen to
secure the land for the structure: James

wards, Donald Greenley and Robert Me.
Keig. This committee got to work
promptly, and secured the site on the

Burlington, April 23.--M. S. Stone of
Montpelier, state superintendent of ed
ucation and leeturere Of the state grange
G. r. Smith Of Mofrisvilie, master Of
the state grange, and o. L. Martin of
plsinfield, commissioner Of agriculture,
met the lecturers Of the Ktate grange,
who reside in the vicinity Of Burlington,
yesterday at the Van Ness house. The
meeting was for the purpose of discuss
ing ways in which the grange can in
tToduce elementary agriculture in the
public schools
Under the present system Of education
there is no way for the younger pupils
to learn agriculture on about the soil
under their feet, although they have
ample opportunity to learn of Turkey,
Africa and the Sahara desert The
grange win make an effort to keep the
sons and daughters of Vermont in Ver-
mont and to have them take full ad-
vantage Of the natural resources that
abounds about them.
When the primary pupils become
familiar with grasses, soils, etc, the
interest aroused in agriculture win make
them anxious, when older, to attend an
agricultural college. Vermont viii then
have scientific farmers and every YER
mont boy will know essential things
about agriculture, Of which most Of
them are now ignorant.

railroad stands ready to put up its one
half of the total cost at intervals as
the progress Of the work calls for The
city has voted to give $4,000 outright,
SO that that sum would be available to
finance the project.
There is now, however, a disagreement
as to the conditions Of the $4,000 ap-
propriation, some OF the aldermen stand
ing out for through public road from
Prospect street to Depot square IN the
old course Of the stream. rather than to
have the road cut of at the Miles granite
block and connect with Main street By
the alley between the Miles and the Cor
don blocks The aldermen conferred
with the representatives of the railroad
for some time yesterday afternoon, but

Four persons suspected Of being con-

manner in which Turner is believed to
have met his death are held in the Ben

within less than five hours after Turner
was missed, but until Turner is found

custody.
Men Of experience from Burlington,
with equipment Of every kind have been
engaged IN dragging the river, both
above and below the dam The water

the men greatly in the work.
The water in the millpond at North

drawn down SO that it is nokeRmning
