Enth usiastic Meeting OF Republicans
in the Town Hall-The Baby show
at Cheshire Fair-Flre in n store
Observation-Disclosures Estate Trans
fers-A Coming Wedding.
There was an enthusiastic meeting of
republicans in town hall last evening to
hear the eloquent J. L. Barbour discuss
the live issues of the campaign, and arraign
the democratic party for its many mis-
statements and blunders. The Mckinley
bill, free trade vs. protection, the banking
system, etc., were ably discussed and
brought before the enlightened audience in
clear and concise manner. The speakers
occasional witty stories of comparison
proved quite pleasing, and were literally
applauded. The National band rendered a
pleasing concert outside before the meet,
ing and also in the hall. There was large
number of ladies present who enjoyed the
speech and appeared much interested in
the issues of the campaign as presented.
W. 81. Newton presided and made short
speech before introducing the speaker.
Judge Martin, Warden Newton, G.. L.
Jones and J. P. Stevenson took in the fair
in Cheshire yesterday. One of the princi-
pal features WAS the baby show. DR.. Hor,
ton was one of the judges, and with his col
league could not agree who was entitled to
first premium. They then called on Judge
Martin to act as one of the judges. There
were four ballots taken, and Judge Martin
favored No. as apparently being q
thoroughbred on both sides. In order to
facilitate matters w. Il. Newton was
called, and like Judge Martin, favored No.
5. At this stage Judge Martin left the COM
mittee, he declining to serve further for
fear of losing, as he stated, all the hair on
his head. The committee finally decided
in favor of No. 4. The decision, like any
other that could have been given in such a
case, was not received with favor by many
who were interested in the other exhibits
Judge Martin says the babies were all
handsome, and show signs of good pedi-
gree and stock.
Henry E Culver writes from the Keeley
cure, in West Haven, that an indescribable
change has already been wrought in physi-
cal, mental and nerve-builGing, and sur
passes all the marvels and wonderful facts
he has ever experienced. He states he has
always had faith in the Kelley cure and
now it is positive knowledge, and hopes
upon his return, should he ever fall, that
he will be sent to jail for six months twice
a year.
A storehouse near Simpson, Hall, Miller
& Co. e factory and used to store barrels
of glass, ETC., was discovered to be on fire
just before l O'Clock yesterday. An
alarm was sounded and the company's fire
department responded and soon had the
fire under control and out. The damage
Is variously estimated and will probably
not exceed 5000. The building was owned
by z. Q. Lane and was insured. The
origin of the FIRE is not known. The
alarm was not heard on the plains or about
the center owing to the fact that the wind
was not in the right direction and those
that heard the gong supposed it was blow
ing as usual for 1 o'clock.
Another game of football has been ar
ranged between the merchants and high
SCHOOL team to OCCUR on Wednesday after
