PEEK's SPEECH.

Col. Peek was introduced to the conven-
tion and spoke at length. He asserted that
there is nothing in the principles Of the
Peoples party that is not democratic. He
said the farmers have for years been knock
Ing at the door Of congress for aid only to
be told to go back home, work harder and
keep out of politics. He said this was done
by democrats and republicans alike
Every time the farmers asked for
anything they were told by the
politicians that 1t was unconstitutional
He declared for financial system free from
state banks by which money shall be issued
direct to the people and to the people and
urged that the government loan its money
to the people at 2 per cent. All of his sen
Siments we're vigorously applauded. Be-
fore the selection of electors and an execu-
tive committee the campaign song Get
There" was sung, the train Of which is:
Get there, get there
Lot iosrty be- your aim:
Never mind what is said
Aeep level head and well get there just the
same.

WEST BRATTLEBORO.
The Battle of the Hunters.

The big hunt came off last Thursday as ar
ranged, although the winding up not accord
ing to program. The arrangements were made
at a meeting held few days previous, when w.
c. Miller and j. L. Whitaker were chosen cap
tains, and they each chose ri men. OF course all
the men chosen could not go, and no provision
being made about the score in case of the two
sides not being equal the cause of the trouble
The day was perfect, and almost before daylight
the report of guns was heard in every direction
and the noise was kept up all day. AT O'Clock
at night the hunters began to COngregate at NJ. l.
Mather's store to have the game counted s. s.
Morse and II. j. Clark made the count, and John
HadgTaft kept the score. Such an amount of
game was never dreamed Of There were nearly
500 red squirrels, a large number of greys, par
tridges, wOodcock, woodpeckers, bluejays a
skunk, an owl and a coon. When the count was
finished the result stood: Whitaker's side, with
Il men, 65S5 points; Miller's side, with Is men,
$40 points Here came in the kick as to which
side won. Miller claimed the victory for his side
because he had the largest average for the num-
Der of men. Whitaker's side claimed that it
wasn't their fault that Mier's men Cidn't all turn
continued until $3.50, and by is time hunger
made the men'on both sides ready each to pay
for his own supper Miller thought his men had
fought 'noby aud well" and chose to pay him
self rather than TO have his men pay. The sup
per. served by Mrs II. j. Clark al her house was
pleased, the only drawback teing the unsettled
dispute. The writer will not attempt to decide
which side was in the right. In any future con
test, however rule to declare that side the win
ner which has the largest average to each man
would save any contest as To the number of men
on either side. The largest individual score in
this hunt was made by Julius Harris, on Miller s
side, S95 points.

DEATH OF FRED FRANKS.

Fred Franks, one of the best known residents
of Brattleboro died very suddenly last Saturday
Mr. Franks, as is generally known, had long been
in i'll health, which gave no hope of permanent
recovery, but there had seemed to his Friends to
be no reason to fear his death at this time. He
appeared unusually well Friday, being on the
street as usual in the morning, and taking long
drive in the afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. Mark
Wooster have of late occupied part Of his house
at the top of High street hill. Mrs. Wooster was
away on a visit for a few days When Mr. Wooster
left for his work in the morning Mr. Franks
called him to his window to say that he would
have supper ready when he returned at night
When Mr.. Wooster reached the house Just as
night was closing in he was shocked To find Mr..
Franks lying across his bed, dead. Medical exam
nation showed that death had taken place ten
or twelve hours before. The body was partially
dressed the appearances being that while dressing
he felt a sudden faintness. and sat upon the edge
of the bed, Immediately falling over backward,
death coming without a struggle. The cause of
death was Brght's disease.
Mr.. Franks's age was IS years He was born
in Brattleboro, and with the exception of a short
time when he undertook a business venture in
Chicago, his residence has always been here,
though much of his time iii recent years had been
spent as salesman upon the road for different
concerns Previous TO the war he was bOOkkeeper
for the grOcers' firm Of Frost & Goodhue. He
was afterward for several years connected with
the late b, n, Chamberlain in the hat trade, and
later in the hardware trade with his uncle, Geo
Clark. As a travelling salesman he was sue,
cesstul and popular in rare degree. He was d
man OF warm heart, generous to a fault, a lOya
and answering friend. Few men have left
kinder memories behind them. He was the soI
of Frederick and Laura Franks, the father being
in his day wellknown merchant tailor in Brat
tleboro, None of the family now survive the
parents and both of the daughters of the family
having died several years ago
The funeral was held at Mr. Franks's late resi-
dence Tuesday afternoon and was largely attend
ed Rev, Mr. Phalen otficiated. large delega
ton of Odd Fellows from Wautastquet lodg,
were present and conducted the service at tn,
grave in Prospect hill cemetery.

OLD STYLE AND NEW
How the Change Was Made TO the Pres
ent Way Of Reckoning Time.

How the Change Was Made 60 the Pres
ent Way Of Reckoning Time.
The celebration of the 4OOth anniversa-
ry of the discovery of America brings to
notice some changes in the mode of reclk-
onng time since then.
The church had always begun the year
on the first day of January. In England
before William the Conqueror, in 1860, the
civil year began at Christmas. After
wards, for a while only, the year of the
reign of the King was usually men
toned in public acts: then the year
of our Lord was begun on the 2jth of
March. A difference of eleven days came
about between some parts of the con
tinent of Europe and the Kingdoms o
Great Britain. TO cure these differences
the statute Of "a Geo II. enacted:
THAT the first day of January next following
the last day Of December lijl. shall be- the first
day of the year lj52. And that the first day Of
January next after tle first day of January i752
shall b. the first day Of the y car 1853 And so on
the first day OF January ~ every Year shall he
the first day ot the year. Ana that after the
first day 81 January li52 the several days of each
month shall 20 ON i'm the same order: aud the feast
of Easter, and other movable f"asts thereon de
pending, shall DE ascertdined according to the
same method they then were, until the second day
of September 1859 and that the natural day next
following the said second day Of September. shall
be reckouod the fourteenth day Of September.
emitting, for that time only, the eleven informed
late days And that the several natural days
which shall succeed the said fourteenth day Of
September shall be- reckoned in numerical order
according to the order and succession of days
now used in the present calendar The
several years 1900 1900 POO 200 23OO, and any
other hundreith Year. except every four hun
dredth Year, Of which the Year 3yO shall be the
first. shall not be deemed BisSeXtilr or Leap Year,
but common years To consist only Of 3Gl days
The Years 2"uD. 2fOO $50. and every other four
huuiredth Year. from the Year 3l0U inclusive,
and all other Years, which are now esteemed Bis.
seXtic or Leap Years shall for the future be es-
tevmed BisSeXtile or Leap Years consisting Of 1866
DAYS
This was called new style till it became
itself old; and was followed throughout
most of the civilized world. 1t still makes
some confusion in reckoning dates from
before 1851. Thus: Columbus discovered
America October II, 1902; the true ami
yersary now is eleven days later, October
%. George Washington was born Febru-
airy II, 1892 The anniversary of his
birth in 1851 was on February II; in 1852
on February %. His birthday is always
celebrated on the 22d. He died December
Il, 1899. BY the ordinary mode of reckon
ing time he would appear to have been 81
years 10 months and days old: he lived
but 66 years months and % days. When
February IL, 1850, came round he was Is
when he was ~ it was February II, 1852
new style when he was 20 it was Febru
AIRY -, 1853, new style.

INTERVIEWED KIPLING
\ Boston Herald Man Calls on the Dis
unguIshed Novelist.


Mr. FaXon. the Boston Herald represen-
tatiye. who comes to Brattleboro frequent
ly, called upon Rudyard Kipling at the
cottage at the Bliss farm recently. He
was very coolly received. These gems are
taken from what Mr.. Kipling is quoted as
saying:
WHY do refuse 10 be interviewed. Because
is immoral II is crime, Just as much a crime as
an offence against my person, as an assault and
just a. much merits punishment. 1t Is cOwardly
and vile No respectable man would ask it, much
less give il.
Il don't care damn what you think. You
have invaded my rights private citizen. and if
| could reach YOU 10y law would. | never heard
the like before. Now what are you going to say
about mes / wish you wouldn't say anything, for
don't care to be quoted
The American reporter Is blot on the jour
naliStic eScutcheon, and when one perpetrates a
crime, as you have done, he ought to be locked up
where he couldn't do any harm. There is nothing
in American journalism to admire and less to re
Spect The English reporter is a gentleman and
lets people alone.
Well write what YOU like Give your imagi-
nation full swing. Stick your old space copy
in the back columns of your sunday paper, and
folks will wash it down with their breakfast cot
fee, the same as they do the other trash; that 5
all that * printed nowadays. Say | am bOOr,

CATTLE ALL RIGHT.

Some time ago COW died on the farm at
East Dummerston formerly owned by DR..
Sholes, but now the property of Charles
Miner. A report was widely circulated
that the cause of the animals death was
tuberculosis. At the request of the DUN.
merston authorities the state cattle in
spector was asked to make an examination.
He did so, and as the stock on the farm is
to be sold at auction next Tuesday it is
thought well to make public his report on
the case
81. ALBANs Vt, Oct - 1892
To irhOm il may concern:
This is to certify that on the 10th day of August
1892 made an examination of the cattle in the
different pastures on the Dr. SholeS farm at East
Dummerston. Vt. and found them all right and
free from disease. The COW found dead in the
pasture was COW that had sustained an injury
from falling through the barn floor last spring,
and it oied from the effects of the injury
