The National Grange passed resolu-
tons on Saturday urging Congress to
pass the bill in aid Of the Texas Pa
cific. The following is the report Of
the committee to whom the matter was
referred:
Your committee, to whom was re-
ferred resolutions of the Texas State
Strange, and Of numerous other bodies
IN different sections of the United
States to extend its aid to the Texas
and Pacific railroad, have had the
same under consideration, and ask to
make the following report:
Your committee have viewed with
great interest the expressions of APP
prevail and appeals TO Congress to for
ward this great work, emanating from
the State Oranges and Boards of Trade
| from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and
are Impressed with great and obvious
benefits which would result to this
whole nation by the speedy copmple-
ton OF this road and as it's an enter
prise too vast to depend alone for its
success upon private capital, equal
justice to all sections Of our common
country requires aid of the National
Government to forward this work un-
der the proper restrictions and safe
guards, insuring the Government
against loss, and the people against
unjust impositions and discrimina-
! tons.
Your committee therefore submit
the following resolutions:
That this National Grange earnest.
ly invites the attention of Congress to
the necessity of speedy completion Of
the Texas Pacific railroad, and asks Of
that body reasonable aid to the com,
pany. which has inaugurated this great
national enterprise, under such eau
tionary restrictions and safeguards a:
the prudence and wisdom of Congress:
may devise to guarantee the Govern.
ment against loss, and protect the agri
cultural interests of every section o.
the country against unjust discrimina
tons in the price of transportation"

- Those wishing cafe insurance upon
their property, in these times of big
fires and poor insurance companies, will
do well to look over the list of companies
represented at the agency of Babbitt &
Hayes, as shown in our advertising col
umns. They write policies in some of
the most staunch and reliable companies
in the world and those insuring with
them need have little fear in case of fire
of finding their insurance worthless.
They are doing large and increasing
business, and their rates will be found to
be as low as at any other agency which
represents as good class Of companies.

WEsrrNsTER WEST.
AN oCroGENARIAN.

MIR. I. ID. Chandler of Westminster
West, finely preserved old gentleman
now in his Saith year, came into this Of
flee few days since to transact business
and in the course of conversation il be,
came apparent that he was an older man
than we took him to be and thereupon
we began to interview him, in the
most approved modern style, but as he
requested us so many times "not tc
print word / have said" nor use his
name, we must relieve him Of all re.
sponsibility, and specially assume the
same ourself, but we found him so in.
teresting link connecting the past with
the present that we cannot resist the
temptation. Mr.. Chandler was born in
Westminster East Parish Feb. 80, 1892,
in house still standing at the South
end Of the village, and has always resid-
ed in that town, having lived in the
West Parish since 1908, now 81 years,
and in which place he built him home
in which he has lived Sc years. He re.
members very distinctly, in boyhood
days of playing in the court house where
French was shot and of seeing the stains
of blood from his wound, which was
long preserved in that building. He
remembers also to have come to Bel.
lows Falls about 1898, when there were
but two buildings in the place. One Of
these stood near or on the site now occu.
pied by the Island House, and the other
was just opposite to what is now Engine
Hall. Mr.. Chandler relates these in.
cidents and many more as easily as a
man of fifty, and remarked the very
great change in Bellows Falls village
since the time of his visit mentioned
above. And certainly it is always agree.
able to meet such person.

count of distressing accident in that

about 6 years of age, bright little
fellow, Oldest son of Mr.. James DALEY
while playing with other boys in one Of
the apartments containing the hot liz.
uor watts, stepped into oneof them, which
was nearly full of the scalding liquid.
A workman near byh caring his screams,
almost instantly pulled him out, but the
boy was so frightfully scalded that when
conveyed to his home, and an effort
made to removehis clothing, the skin al
most the entireex tent of the body came
off with his garments. DIR. Tolles was
Immediately called, who says that in a
practice of over 30 years he never wit
messed such scene of physical agony,
on the part of the unfortunate lad, and
mental suffering of the family thus sud-
denly overtaken with misfortune. 1t was
heart-rendering. He Immediately ap-
piled the customary remedies, and the
boy fingered in torture until o'clock
Friday morning, when death came to his
relief

Who OWNS THE Horse p The Lud-
low Gazette thus records a recent horse
trade in that place T" The other day one
of our citizens undertook to sell another
horse, the latter found everything about
the animal desirable except the price.
The handsome figure of $3.50 he con-
cluded was more green printing than was
proper to put in horsefesh. GOOD
enough says the owner, "s2S0 or you
don't drive your love behind that critter."
In the meantime another buyer appeared
who agreed to pay the figure provided
after trial the animal suited. While
he was driving around trying the action
of his intended purchase, No. / found
the owner, paid the stipulated cash and
was to have the horse when No. 2 re.
turned. But when that gentleman came
back he put the stepperin his own stable
and told the original owner to come over
and get his cash. In discovering the
state of affairs this triangle was in
quandry. No. wont take his money
back and No 2 wont give up the horse.
Now what we want to know is simply
this Who owns that horse ?"
