Montpelier, Vt- July 9. Wtti the
two elements of the Republican par
ty growing more estranged each day
and a union of Democratic and Pro
gressive forces within the range of
possibilities, Vermont is now under
going the greatest, political disrup
tion. in the last half eentnry.
Because of the importance of the
office and its national significance
the ' United States senatorship has
the center of the political Stage.
Next November for the . first time
Vermont is to elect a senator by di

Five 'senatorial candidates promise
to be on tbe ticket this fall, where
a plurality vote, will elect. Senator
Dillingham, it is conceded, will be re
nominated by the Republicans.

WINTERS CASE TO TRIAL,
Another Chaptar In the famous Kid
napping Case.
Newcastle, Ind., July 9 Another
chapter in the Winters' Kiddnapp
ing" ease will be started in the cir
cuit court here tomorrow, when Dr.
W, A. Winters' father of the mis
sing child; her step-mother, Mrs.
Byrd Winters, and W. II. Cooper, a
former boarder at the Winter's home,
are to be. placed on trial on charges
made against them some weeks ago.
Tbe three are charged with "eon-H
spiraey to commit a felony by con
spiring to kill the child hy strangling
or otherwise, and to destroy the body
by burning.".
The question uppermost in the minds
of all the people of Newcastle today
is whether the coming trial will solve
the mystery of the disappearance of
nine-year-old Catherine Winters.
Most persons who have followed the
case incline to the opinion that the
mystery will not be solved.
Catherine Winters disappeared
on March 20, 101.1. The child had
been canvassing the neighborhood in
which she lived, trying to sell need
les for a church society. S)ie was
last seen lute in the afternoon and
when she did not return home it was
believed she had gone to the home of
a neighbor for dinner. The police
were not notified until the next day.
The child was the daughter of
Winter by his first wife, who died
several years ago. Catherine and her

finding of the clothing, the police
took up cellar floor and' other parts
of tlie premises with a view to learn-
ing whether or not a body might be
concealed. A similar search was

Toting Italian Arrested Tester day
Poll ca Activt After "Deadbeata."
A young Italian was picked up at
tbe dejiot yesterday by Policeman
Eudy for "beating" a train. He
was brought to the city hall and plac
ed in the lockup. Tony Koss, an Ital
ian fruit vender, came to the rescue
of his fellow countryman and paid
hull out of the lockup. Since then
the young fellow lias secured a jub
and is now at work.
The vomit; man tells a "hard link"
story. lie states that lie was living
in Spartanliui-g and that his business
there was uniolitahle and that he
lost II of his money. Having rela
tives in New York lie made an elTort
to "deadlicat" his way to the metro
polis with the result that lie was
caught here. When arrested he slat
ed that all he wanted was a .job and
this was secured for him.
The arrest of the young Italian
adds another to the long list of "ho
bos" arrested here recently. The
officers of the railroad company and
the local officers have been vigilant
in their efforts to stop the "dead
heats" on the roads and quite a num
ber have been tried in the police
court recently.
A short time ago two young men
were arrested as "hobos." They
were tried and sentenced to .'10 days
on the chain gang. Their sentence
expired a few days ago. In the mean
time one of the young men had writ
ten to his family for aid and a liber
al response was made. When the
young man's time expired they came
to a local haberdashery and purchased
a considerable outlay of vearnlile
and left town more in the manner of
summer tourists than ex-convicts.

The peach crop is reported late, ami

Several hundred cars ot peaches
have been handled through here since
the season opened. Despite the fact
that the crop is lato this number ex

cars. Late cold snaps in South Geor
gia failed to damage the peach crop
to the extent predicted at that time,
and it is now believed that a bumper
crop will be made.

Do you not know that when you buy

from the opportunities your children
should have?
The schools are supported by taxes, oj
which the mail-order man does not pay
one cent in this town, but the money you
are sending to the city means- greater
wealth and more money in the school
funds of the city, and less wealth and less
money in the school funds of this town.':
Why not assist in educating your own

You can do it by spending your dol

in keeping up the schools here instead ol
sending them to the mail-order man. . 1
