PATRONS OF OUR
LOCAL LIBRARY
Annual Report Shows Progress
in All Directions
STATE RECORD IMPROVED
Committee Recognizes Work of Mrs.
J. Arthur Towle, Recently
Resigned Librarian.

The annual meeting of the Young
Mems Association, the organization
which directs the anairs OF the Ii
brary hall property, was held Mon
day, March II. The Board of Man
ayers continues as for several years
past, except that H. MacGregor Rit-
chic succeeds Arthur E. HOLSTER as
treasurer, Mr. Hollister becoming
corresponding secretary. The list
of officers and managers was pub
lshed in the Banner of March 18.
In compliance with the provisions
of the deed of trust, the following re-
port is presented for the year just
ended:
Miss Melden, now Mrs. J. Arthur
Towle, finished her work as librarian
on March 1st The strides forward
which the library has taken recently
are due in chief measure to her SER
vice. Coming to us in June 1911
from the Springfield, Mass, Library
Training school, she has finely full
filled the expectations and hope of
the library management. We print
a minute prepared by committee
of the managers which expresses the
judgment and feeling of the entire
board.
Bennington, Vermont;
February oath, 1913.
The members of the Library AS
sociation desire by this minute to
express their unqualified approval of
the work of Miss Angie Melden, Lii
brarian of the Bennington Free Lii
brary for the past twenty months.
Her uniform courtesy, pleasing per-
sonality, thorough training, and nat
ural adaptability for the position,
have made her work most efficient,
raised the Library to high degree
of excellence, and won It many new
friends and patrons.
1t Is therefore with sincere regret
that the board accepts the resigna-
ton of Miss Melden.

RECORD AUDIENCE
At FOLK DANCE
FESTIVAL
Not a Vacant Seat in Opera
Last Evening
PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT
Public Demonstration of Work Being
Accomplished by Local Play
ground Instructor.

Local talent productions have al
ways been given big audiences in
Bennington but even the entertain
ments in which the participants are
mostly children have seldom equaled
and never excelled the reception ac-
corded the folk dance festival given
at the Bennington opera house last
evening by the civic league.
Seats began selling rapidly as
soon as the sale was opened and the
entire house was disposed of before
the box, Office was opened last night.
More seats could have been sold had
there been more to sell. The inter
est in the affair was SO general that
quite a number of women made their
first acquaintance with the upper
gallery.
1t was an enthusiastic audience.
The participants in the first half of
the long program were all children,
most of whom could be classed as
little tots" and, while there was
not a break of any kind that in the
least marred the excellence Of the
production, the children retained the
characteristics of their age and there
were numerous little incidents that
were inexpressively funny.
American people, of course. have
only one point of view, their own,
and until one had witnessed an en-
tertainment such as that of last eve
ming, it would have ben impossible
to realize the difficulties that had to
be overcome in presenting to an aud
fence the characteristics of other
peoples through the medium Of their
dances. That the success of last
evening could be accomplished Is
sufficient evident that the director,
Miss Catharine NJ. Combs, is emf
nently qualified both by natural at
tainments and through experience
for the work now under her charge
in Bennington.
The full program with the names
of each individual who took part was
published in Fridays Banner and
this program was carried out in
every detail as follows.

SNOWSTORM ADDS

At OMAHA
Cyclone Death Toll Now Reaches
ESQ
RELIEF BUREAU ORGANIZED
Pledge of 100000 Received by City
Commissioners to Provide Shell
ter for Homeless.

Omaha, Neb., March 26.-For the
first time since the disastrous tor
nado of Easter Sunday. the people of
Omaha yesterday began to count the
cost in lives and dollars. When a re
sumo was made ii apparently was
more appalling than those who had
studied the result were willing to ad-
nit. Not less than 200 lives were
snuffed out within the vicinity of the
city proper and not less than 80 per
sons in surrounding towns were kill
ed. Nearly 500 were injured. Eight
of these died in local hospitals dur
ing the day.
The restitution was augmented
yesterday when nearly three inches
of snow fell making uninhabitable
the houses of many who had prepar-
ed to retain temporary homes in
partly destroyed structures. So far
as money might relieve conditions
were perfect. Tenders of sums ag-
gregating 100000, were in the
hands of the city commissioners
when the day ended. These offers
came from nearly every section of
the country and were made uncondi-
tionally.
The greatest work yesterday was
that of organizing a systematic re-
lief bureau with seven branch stat
ions in the territory covered by the
tornado. These stretched over a
strip seven miles long and those in
charge of relief stations handed out
material assistance to all corners
who were able to show they were in
need of aid. Plans for the rebuild
ing of the city are already under
way. A movement to form a corpora
ton for the purpose of aiding those
who need help having already been
preached by several of the men who
are in position to afford such as
sistance.
A thorough search in the wreckage
of the Diamond moving picture thea
ter failed to reveal any bodies, and it
is the opinion of searchers that all
who were trapped in that building
have been found. Sixteen bodies
already have been removed from
these ruins. Yesterday when search
ers were digging in the ruins. they
discovered a negro baby, alive and
uninjured. A heavy beam had fallen
in such way that it protected the
child
Military law was strictly enforced
throughout the storm area. Upon
the soldiers rest responsibility for
looting and fires. Few. people re-
main in that section of the city to
the north which was especially hard
hit by the storm. A body identified
by papers in the pockets as that of
Frank Jamison of Chicago, was TAX
en- yesterday from the top of a high
tree in Bemis park.

DIE LIKE RATS IN TRAPS

Richmond, Ind, March 25.-Frank
Purviance, an employee of the Terre

They're dying like rats in their
