"The new policeman on Central street
wants you'll" exclaimed an excited boy as
he rushed into Captain Goldsmith's Office
at the station last night. "Well, what can
Joe want?" inquired the Captain.
at isn't Joe" said the boy; "it's the
new one"
The Captain. wondering considerably
who the new policeman was, went down
there and Ssund man full Of Importance
and intoxicants who wished to put the
twisters "onto" a stranger whom he said
was a crook
"What makes you think he's crooks"
asked the captain.
Because he's got scar on his face and
has been trying to dispose of some rings"
said the vidocq.
"Give me the names of some of the peo-
pie he tried to sell to-" said Captain Gold
smith.
The young man seemed rather confused
and said: "Well there's Archie Byrnes for
one, son of J. ii. Byrnes, the shoemaker"
As Mr.. Byrhes never had a son the Cap
tain told the youth to go home and sleep
it off.
~ Was Great Day.
Last Saturday seven happy and trusting
couples called on Town Clerk Crawford
and got the necessary license that permits
two to be made one
Doing Good Work.
At the meeting OF the French Demo
cratic Club last night eleven new members
were admitted and five persons given
naturalization papers. This organization
has fine prospects.
Register.
The time in which voter can register
is drawing very near to a close, and every
citizen should avail himself OF the oppor-
tunities that are now offered to register at
once. The Town Clerks office is open
from a. m. until q p. m, and citizen
can register at any time during the day.
Democrats, don't forget the Importance Of
your ballot next year. III you are
not registered you are in the same posi-
tion as person who is not a citizen of the
United States, for you cannot exercise the
right OF Il citizen; that of voting, of hav-
ing voice in the selection of the men
who are to make the laws which all must
abide by. The Town Clerk will be in his
office until 9 o'clock in the evening on
several OF the last days of next month to
accommodate the voters, but all should
not wait for that time. It's far easier to
register now than to wait until the last
moment and find there are half hundred
waiting.
Those Districts.
When the Town Council voted to ap-
point committee to divide the town
into as many voting districts as it was
deemed necessary to accommodate the
voters il was not suspected that there was
any scheme of the leaders of the Republi-
can party. II was generally believed by
the Democrats that as long as a partisan
committee had been appointed, they must
take about what they could get and
say nothing. II was also believed
that the line would be drawn
to suit the members OF the <. O. p.
and thus make it easier for them to get to
the polls, but the Democrats did not care
as long as the whole ticket was voted on
at each polling place and the people
had their say i'm the selections Of the Coun-
cilmen.
The Democrats did not suspect for a
moment that the scheme which is now
generally spoken of was being seriously
considered. They did not suspect that an
application would be made 10 the
Legislature for the privilege of divid-
ing the towns into districts and
that Councilmen should he selected from
each district. II il very plain that the
Republicans know that they cannot hold
the town any longer and adopted this
trick to continue their power. II is pro-
posed to divide the town so as to have
seven districts, four OF which will have a
Republican majority. Thus, if a Council
man is elected from each district, they
will have a majority of the Council. There
is not any doubt in the minds of many
but that this scheme is being worked and
to the present Legislature will be acted
upon favorably.
