Disappointed Sports.

A few of our local sports had arranged
for q little exhibition of canine feroci.y
Sunday evening and had as they thought
everything fixed" but alas how easily
things 60 wrong. Shortly before the ap-
pointed hour brass buttons flashed in the
dIckering light in the immediate vicinity
of the pit and all was changed. A closed
carriage rolled away bearing the princi-
pals and later little group of disap-
pointed ticket holders followed the car
riage out into the darkness. and all was
silent. One of the terriers which might
have taken conspicuous part chewed one
of his fellow creatures up in Davenport
before coming over. The disappointed
sports say the affair programmed for the
evening was farce.

A Trying Experi,u-e

MISS Carrie Altz, night operator in the
Moline telephone station, will not forget
her experience of Saturday night. Shortly
after midnight the room began filing
with smoke, and whenever she attempee ed
to connect anyone the sparks flew out in
all directions. She did not dare leave
her post, and could not use the 'ohon e
to call anyone up to tell of the
trouble. With her long experience she
knew the cause, but could not an:icipa ,e
the result or provide a remedy. She
knew there was great danger of beiu o
burned out, for the telephone and electric
light wires were crossed. She waited pa.
tiently, seeing the room grow black with
smoke. Finally the current was turne d
OF at the electric light station, and any
serious damage averted.

IMMERSION.

The BrattlebOro correspondent of the Sun
day Republican writes as follows of some of
Dummerston's best known citizens: Dunn
merston's town clerks, of which there have
been but seven in 100 years, have borne a
prominent and faithful part in public affairs
and ASSOCIATIONS They were of the typical
New England stock-honorabe trustworthy
and competent shared the dangers and
hardships of pioneer life, and whose Chris
tian characters We're reflected in their every
day life. The records of the town have been
carefully preserved aud form most interest
ing story. Enoch Cook, the first clerk, served
three years from May, 1771. He was sue
ceeded by Capt. Solomon Harvey, who re-
rigned after service of little more than two
years, his successor being Capt. Jonathan
knight, who was in turn succeeded five years
later, and in 1850 by Jason Duncan who re-
tanned the office "A years. Then Samuel Por-
ter was chosen clerk but retired in 1906 and
Jason Duncan again took the office only to
give way to Joseph Duncan, who served ac-
| ceptably 81 years, and till 1913, when the pre-
sent incumbent Joseph Miller was elected.
Mr.. Miller is probably the oldest town clerk
i'll years of service in the state, having occu-
pied bis office for AZ years. He is one of
seven children of the late Joseph and Betsey
| Wilson Miller and was born March 3, 1877.
He has always lived on the old farm which is
beautifully located on the hills just northwest
of the little village of East Dummerston, and
commanding grand view of New Hamp-
shlre's shapely mountain peaks as well as the
| nils and valleys in the immediate vicinity.
The farm has 40 acres of fine tillage and pas
ture lands and the picturesque house shaded,
as 1t is, by the fragant locust and shapely ma
pies, presents a tidy and most attractive pic
| ture. Mr.. Miller is of scotch descent and in
personality quite resembles Denman Thomp-
sons Interpretation of the big hearted "Uncle
Josh Whtcomb."
