who exercised great influence over the members of the royal family and first conjectures as to the nature of the plot which suc ceeded In ridding Russia of the most powerful and picturesque of the "dark which it is alleged have been attempting to poison the internal fife of Russia have only hightened the sensation caused by the first news of Rasputin's death received last Satur day says a delayed dispatch from Petrograd on Wednesday It is now definitely known that the assassina tion was only one of a series of at tempts upon life In the former plots either Rasputin scenting danger refused to be de coyed from his house or the plotters were unable to agree upon the means to be used and thus their plans sev eral times miscarried But circum stances peculiarly favored the plot arranged for early Saturday morning rom recent information in the hands of the Authorities they have been able to reconstruct the events which prob ably took place at that time Soon after midnight Rasputin who was sitting alone in his house in Petrograd received a telephone call from the house of Prince Yussupoff The invitation proved particularly al luring and Rasputin accepted in the lest humor Soon afterward a young man called for the monk at the rear entrance The night was extremely 1 and the long cloak worn by Ras putin concealed the Costume he had donned for the occasion consisting of dark baggy velvet trousers tucked into high polished boots a silk blouse and bright colored sash The other wore conventional evening dress Rasputin was not long seated in the house to which he had been in vited before one of the guests arose quietly and offered a revolver to him with the following words: "We have decided that you must die Kill According to the prevalent version Rasputin pointed the revolver at the man who had offered it to him whereupon the other guests dtew re volvers and fired upon the monk Ras putin was struck twice in the chest and side and then a bullet in the nead killed him instantly His body was immediately disposed of being dropped into the Neva river It was said at Petrograd that those who had participated in the crime would not be prosecuted One has already been allowed to leave Petrb grad and ajthough the others have been detained no arrests have been made RASPUTIN'S DEATH DOUBTED Danish Report That Russian Monk Has Escaped Assassination The Stockholm newspaper Nya Dagligt Allchahda as quoted in a London Exchange telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen says that accord ing to reliable information from Petro grad it is not believed there Monk Gregory Rasputin circ*mstantial stories of whose assassination were published recently is dead The statement that his body was taken from Neva is incorrect according to this information and the story of his death was circulated by Ms friends in order that he might escape or several weeks Rasputin has been threatened with death the newspa per says but as he is in close it is impossible that he could have been murdered HAMPDEN CCTTNlV BRIMIELD (Continued from Tenth Cage) building Thursday afternoon Miss Laura Comstock who is at the head of the home economics department of the extension

OR SIX CENTS Milk Producers Work to Get All Dealers in Line The new milk association has not yet succeeded in bringing all the dealers to the point of paying them six cents a quart the price re cently established by the association but the members are holding out for the new price even at the cost of having milk left on their hands It is said that in Williamsburg 600 quarts of milk are now being sold to the Easthampton creamery which would he sent to Northampton if the new price of six cents could be obtained Some of the Hadley producers are said to be sending milk to the Easthamp ton and Amherst creameries Some of the dealers are said to be so strongly opposed to the new pro association that in the hope of breaking it they are willing to pay seven cents for milk reshipped from Springfield But the dealers generally have gone up to 19 cents a quart in the price to consumers and It is sug gested that at this price the con sumers should insist on knowing that the milk they receive is new milk from local sources The difficulty with reshipned milk will begin when warm weather makes it apparent that old milk is being delivered to consumers About 9000 quarts a day are consumed in Northampton of which only about 2500 quarts are produced by the deal ers themselves Edwards Church Meeting The annual supper roll call and of the Edwards church last evening was largely
