At The Colonial.

Those who have attended the
vaudeville performance at The Col
onial this week claim it to be one
of the best entertainments ever seen
here. New features are introduced
each evening. The Five Durands in
their musical and comedy stunts
simply cannot be equaled. Ventril-
oquism, as given by Mr.. Durand, is
in itself worth the price of admiss-
ion This family is not the whole
show but they make a mighty good
third of it. The songs and dances in
PRODUCED by the Alabama Four, the
noted colored quartette, are in class
es by themselves. Never a dull
moment while they are on the stage.
AS for Brindamour, he needs no
introduction to- the st. Johnsbury
public. Hegiso the same Brindamour
who was here last winter, but he has
some new stunts even better than
those of last year. Follow the crowd
to The Colonial.

The washing Of linen fabrics with
out 1njuring them is not SO easy as
some people think. To get the soap
suds properly into the goods some Wig
orous rubbing is required, and whether
a brush or only the hands are used
there is apt to be damage. A French
man has designed little apparatus
that is said to solve.th problem adj
mirably. This is a pair of grooved
wooden rollers set into metal frame,
with a handle at the top. The linen
is first thoroughly soaked in soapy
water and is then placed on an In
clined board. The washer is then roll
ed over the fabric, with not too much
pressure, but just enough to work the
soapsuds into the goods. This OPP
Grafton distributes the pressure even
" and smoothly and prevents undue
strain on any one part Of the fabric.

ALLEGED MURDFF''ro
IS BROUGHT HEHf
Boon Boys Said to Have Murdered
Oscar Garner Near Purvis--
Here For Safekeeping.

Willie and John Boon, two young
farmers and brothers, from Lamar

The father of the boys, togther with
the other brothers and cousin are in
in Jail at Purvis.
Trouble is said to have existed be
tween Garner and the Boon boys for
some time and further trouble such as
resulted in the death of Garner was
not unexpected by those who knew the
parties and the feeling existing be-
tween them. Garne, had been tenant
on the place of the elder Boon but re-
Gently moved to another place, and

have had trouble with them. About
| two weeks ago the matter was taken
up in the Justice court at Purvis. and
Garner who has been charged with
shooting at John Boon was placed
under bond to await the action of the
grand jury next January. Garner
then preferred charges against Willie
and John Boon for using profane
language, exhibiting deadly weapons
and disturbing the peace. The cases
against the Boons were set for tria
next Monday. but the subsequent trag
edy resulting in Gamers death has
changed the nature of the hearings
and the Boons will be given a prelim
mary hearing on the charge of murder
ing Garner.
Garner was a young farmer about
thirty two years of age and leaves a
wife and three children.
The Boon brothers in Jail here were
called on by a News representative
but would not give out any statement
for publication but were anxious tina
correction be made as the published
reports that their father was locked II
