- Another Fake Of the Vets Exposed.
An official at Washington connected with the
issuance of passports to Europe says that in no
case have foreigners assigned American prohibition
rs their reason for returning home. On the
trary they have asserted they are going back to
visit their relatives to look after property inter-
ests to spend their last days in the old home
country. The report of the commissioner of i'm
migrants shows emigrants from America no
greater in number now than for the corresponding
show the utter falsity of the LIQUOR allegations that
prohibition was driving foreigners from our country.

Cyclone Does Extensive
Damage at LyndOnVille

A miniature tornado, a replica Of
the great southern and western cy-
clones, swept over the village of Lyn-
donville between and o'clock on
Saturday afternoon, leaving q path
of destruction in its wake. The sum
total of damage was all done in
the course of 10 minutes from the
time the first gust of wind came up.
A thunder storm was raging at this
hour, when a gust of wind, apparently
quite light, broke over the town, fol-
lowing comparatively narrow nath,
telling trees and effecting other dam
age enroute. Blinds were torn Off,
and shrubs and trellises uprooted. A
large tree in the Finney yard was
blown over against the electric light
wires, putting all of the lights out of
commission for the whole night.
Trees were knocked down in the
small park near the freight station
and a large tree on High street, which
tore up large section of the side
walk also. The Republican flag was
torn from its supports and one sup
port swung around into the Moore
Trip plate glass window, smashing
it into bits. The ri of a freight
car was ripned off ana lodged in the
electric light wires. Other minor dam
age was done in manner similar to
the western storms. A cyclone, even
of small proportions, is a rare event |
in staid Vermont.

Fire Destroys Lang
Block in Barton

Fire, believed to have started in
the basement of the Lang Block in
Barton about II o'clock on Sunday
morning practically destroyed the in
terror of the building and placed sew
eral buildings nearby in danger of
destruction. Only the heroic efforts Of
the village fire company saved the
adjoining blocks from catching fire.
The blaze was discovered by Miss
Colburn, who has living rooms and a
store in the Lang Block, and she gave
the alarm. 1t is thought the fire ori-
ginated in Fred Nelson's basement,
where a fire had evidently been built
earlier in the forenoon. Miss Colburn
went downstairs to unlock the rear
door of the building but was unable
to return, having been cut off by the
flames.
The FIRST floor of the building was
empty, C. L. Hutchins having finished
moving his goods to his new store on
Main street on Saturday.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
ANSWERS DANCE CRITICS

| Mr.. Editor:
The season of the year is close a
| hand when indoor amuSements viii
again be in vogue. In this vicinity
dancing has been a favolite pastime
and as owner of probably the best
patronized dancing hall in this sec
ton of the State, owe it to the
members of our local orchestras, to
those who organize soclals of any
kind as well as to my own self to
register my emphatic protest through
your esteemed Journal against certain
calumnies and uncharitable language
that one may hear against the hall OF
which | am proprietor through COS
sipers and at times through the
agency of certain aristocrats OF our
beloved Community
We make it a business" to run
"all" of our dances according to
the best and most legitimate methods.
and for this reason, we have barred
from our programs any dance con-
sidered immoral or leadin@ to dis
graceful scenes. Intoxicating liquor
is not tolerated under any circum-
stance and anv person found in an
intoxicated condition is never allow
ed to stay in the building. Those who
have these amusements in charge
are well known as clean and respect
able citizens. Therefore it becomes
nv duty to brand whatever stories
which, in the past, may have been
circulated with a special object IN
view. as absolutely false and without
the slightest foundation moreover,
the intelligent people of this vicinity
are left to find out easily enough the
reason for this ATTEMPT in creating a
little discrimination between several
places of amusement. This appeal
to so-called "class distinction may
create harmful results in more WAYS
than one and | think it necessary to
rectify matters little and state
things just as thew are,
In these days when so many ques-
tonable amusements seem to he toll
Grated. as may have been noted of
late, | would advise any person or
persons desiring to Investigate" to
kindly begin their work where and
when such work will brine the most

the so-called styles and costumes
which so clearly and dazzingly es-
tablsh distinctions at some of our
big events of the season. Nv place,
too, is open to investigating commit
tees who may be seeking the truth
and if things are found to be really
different than | have represented in
this communication, | will be ready
to quit the business, but not before
then.
Thanking you for the privilege of
using so much snace in your valued
