UNLUCkY FRIDAY.
Fatalities of Every Kind Reported
During the Day. ,a.

Friday is known throughout the civ
ilized world as an unlucky day, and
when it falls upon the 18th of the month
il is supposed to be doubly unlucky be-
cause of its combination with that ill
fated number. Last Friday was par
ticularly entitled to be placed on record
as unfolding the traditions of the day.
During the "a hours almost every kind
of accident and crime was reported
from this vicinity and superstitious peo-
ple drew long breath when the clocks
chimed the opening of another day. In
the morning there was received word
that Rev. A. b. Dascomb, former
popular pastor of the Congregational
church, had committed suicide by cut
ting his throat. In the afternoon the
little Phelps boy met death by drown
ing in the river below the dam. About
the same time Matthew Young got
caught in the gearing at the Fall Noun
tain saw mill and was badly mangled
about the legs. The sudden death of
John O'Neil on the train which was
bringing him home from Boston fol-
lowed, and the same evening Hunga-
rian was arrested in North Walpole
charged with beating his wife on nu-
merous occasions. Mrs. William King
ston died at Cages Mills after short
illness. There was also report in cir
culation that little girl on Henry
street extension had an attack of
hydrophobia, but it proved to be con-
vulsions, and she recovered. This is a
long list for one day, and it is little
wonder that people asked "who now"
whenever an acquaintance stopped to
speak to them.

About the Walter L. Main Shows
Saws a Cleveland Paper.

The Cleveland World says: "Two
immense crowds attended the perform
ances given by Walter l.. Mains circus
on Monday on the corner of East Madi-
son and Cedar avenues. All seemed to
hunger for good show, and they We're
not disappointed either. The circus
contains almost everything one expects
to find in well regulated show. There
are two rings and something is going
on in both of them almost constantly.
There are riders and athletic performers
without number, trained animals of all
sorts and clowns enough to satisfy the
most exacting small boy. One of the
novel features not seen in other shows
is a horseback riding lion. Besides the
trained lion there are educated dogs and
elephants, goats and mules without
number. The performance concludes
with hippodrome races. The menagerie
is made up of good collection of ami
mails, well fed and clean.
Another feature that is highly COM
mendable is the order kept within and
outside the tent There are no fakirs,
and vendors of song books, red lemon
AIDE and peanuts are not climbing all
over the seats while the show is in prog

Bicycle News and Notes.

Frank Moore has new Singer wheel.
John Pierce went to Windsor on his
wheel last Sunday.
About dozen wheelmen went to
Springfield last Sunday and were en-
tertained by the Riverside Wheel club.

becoming favorite Sunday resorts for
wheelmen. They are both pretty rides,
though like all roads in this vicinity are
somewhat billy. Parties from here
went to those places last Sunday.
One of the boys ran over cat on the
road to Charlestown last Sunday and
deprived it of six of it's lives. The other
three were sufficient to enable the cat
to crawl out of the way before the
wheelman had got ready to finish the
job.
Touring wheelmen pass through here
every day singly and in groups. This
method of passing the summer vaca-
ton is becoming more popular every
wear, and the riders return home more
benefited by their outing than any class
of tourists.
The Barre Bicycle club hold their an
nual race meet August 4. There are to
be eight races with total of $500 in
prizes. The races of the Vermont divi-
sion, L. A. W., will be held at that
time instead of at st. Adams. Entries
to the races close July q and should be
addressed to F. w. Nichols, secretary.
All bicycle riders, both ladies and
gentlemen, are requested to meet at the
"four pines" next Tuesday evening at
7 O'Clock for run about the village.
If a large enough crowd can be got to-
gether, arrangements will be made
then for lantern parade later in the
month. 1t has been said that there are
more than 200 wheels owned in this vii
lage, and it is hoped that a large ma.
iority oftham will be present with theil
owners.
There was almost case of bicycle
stealing here last week. One of ou1
leading bicycle agents came up street
and left his wheel i'm front of the post
office. A friend came along and asked
to take the wheel few minutes, and

found particulars regarding the Mock
Court Trial to be held under the aus
pieces of the Mt. Kilburn Wheel club in

His leg was drawn into the machine
and nearly all the flesh was torn off up
to the knee. AT first 1t was thought
that amputation would be necessary,
but skillful surgery repaired the injured
limb so that he is now getting along
nicely, and the leg will be saved.

parently adds force to If, and now our
Democratic friends talk very confidently
of he favorab e prospects for John T. Ly-
decker carrying off the priZ- M their con
gressional convention in Hutchinson next
Monday. In conversation with some of
their leaders | am told that while Mr. Ly-
decker has put no effort forth IN the line
of seeking the nomination he delegations
from Harper Barber. Pratt, Kiowa. Clark
and several other COUNTIES viii favor him
in the convention.
As "a fellow townsman of Mr.. Lydecker
and knowing his worth as a citizen, may
be permitted to say that should the dele
gates confer on Mr.. Lydecker this post of
honor they could return TO heir coustitu-
ents with the report: I'VE placed our
battle-fi 2 in the hands of one who will
carry ii through the fight with honor TO
himself as well as the cause aud party he
represents"
My advocacy of Mr.. Lydecker may ap-
pear somewhat enthusiastic, but if this
district has TO be represented by other
than Republican in congress | know that
its interests would fare so much better in
his hands than they have for the PAST
three years and over, that some of our for
mer prosperity would return to Us. and
the finger Of ridicule would be pointed in
another direction.

The provision applies to the Rock Island
railroad in Oklahoma, the towns of Round
Pond and South Enid having special
grievance against it.
Mr.. Blackburn Dem. Ky.) opposed the
motion, because he said IL would be unjust
20 require the Rock Island road TO expend
$4,000 or $50 900 in the erection of depots
at these towns, when they alreHdy had
stations located at older towns within two
and half miles of the places. The dis
cussion of the conference report was Shen
resumed aud Mr.. Teller rep, Colo,
favored the motion of Mr.. Berry TO recede
from the senate amendment. He would
like. he said, to take the railroad company
by the throat and teach it that the senate
of the United States was not to be trifled
with.

same strain. and said the company ought
to be compelled 10 give these towns pass
eDger and freight facilities.
The motion was also supported by Mr..
Palmer.
Mr.. Platt (Rep., Conn. ) spoke in opposi-
ton TO the motion for, he contended, there
were no county seats at these towns and
therefore. it would be unjust TO compel
the roads to stop their trains there.
