Now is the time to help on the good work
of building a parsonage. The subscrip-
ton money is not enough to pay for hiring
all the work done, hence it becomes nee
essary to contribute labor. Some have
done so already when the cellar was dug
last week. There is still opportunity to
contribute money and labor, and it is hoped
that many will lend helping hand who do
not have money to spare in aiding the cost
of construction.

The contingencies in such reflections as,
Had the county fair been continued this
year, or merged into town fair on the
common, and either of the rainy days been
set for it," etc, may bring bewildering
sense of responsibility if we are called mp
on to decide whether it were altogether
better not to have had any fair set for this
week, but they do not involve the presump-
tionthat frst-rate fair might not be held

Last Sundays Conference Report.


Instead of the regular sermon, Pastor
Hardy gave brisk and very interesting
account of the Windham conference meet
ing last week in Townshend. According
to late conference rules each church elects
three woman and three men delegates, and
one from its Christian Endeavor society,
all of whom were present from this place
Among salient points it was stated that
the church in West Brattleboro had con-
trbuted as much for benevoences as the
home expenditures. Westminster had
expended $1,000 in improvements, and had
become of late the seat of those beautiful
charities instituted Ply Rev. c. \. Dicken-
sons church of Boston. In abiding to
Rev. c. o. Days sermon on the problem
of the masses, it was mentioned that -
years ago, the first or about the first con-
ference session was held in Fayetteville
when Rev. Charles Walker, also of Brat
tleboro, and father of Dr.. Geo Leon Walker
preached one of the three sermons there
in custom at such meetings. An account
had been given on the previous Sunday of
the original organization 80 odd years ago
Not only were there three sermons but
their length was from one TO two hours,
and the question sometimes comes up
whether the age that demands increasingly
short sermons has slackened in religious
zeal. The paper of Mr.. Davidson, of this
place, on increase of attendance in Sun
day school attracted considerable attention
in the conference. In this case the layman
was placed among the ministers on the
program because he belonged there hav-
ing given so good service in the ministry"
in many ways.
Mrs. RIce's Lecture,
Concerning Tuesday evenings lecture
by Mrs. Rice of Boston many good points
could be reported. The same lecture may
have been given in other towns this week,
as elsewhere reported. AS to local feat
ures, the attendance was about 100. The
collection of money to help on temperance
work was 50. In the afternoon the LOYAL
legion was reinforced by attendance from
schools to the number of 60 or more.
The teacher from the first district in
Brookline with all her scholars got "big
wagon" and came OF course our village
school all went and some from other dis
tricts, flags were carried by the scholars as
they marched in and the scene was in
spring. The children felt that the speak
er's promise to interest them was well
kept. The whole attendance in the after
noon was about so.

Is the Red Hand of Revolution Neces- sary in this Coun- try?
Why Talk of the Bullet When all can be accom-
 pIished by the Ballot.

The above are the ringing words of T. V. Pnwderly, and who will say that they are not truthful words? If ever there was a time when the patriotism of the people of this country should be awakened, NOW IS THE TIME. An ounce of prevention is worth oceans of cure. Washington and our fathers fought and won our liberties by the bullet; it is for US to preserve them by the ballot. There is no intelligence in talking anarchy to the American voter. The inventive genius of the American people has found better way to redress any social evils which may arise. That social evils do exist, no sane man will question; but physical force IS the stage coach of a barbarous age. WE WANT THE MIRACULOUS ELECTRIC BAL LOT THAT DECLARES 12.O0O, ,OO0 VOTERS TO BE KING in 24 hours. Can we afford to triie with the sacred character of the Declaration of Indepen- dence and our American constitution :? Behold what the Waterbury Furniture company has gained by applying intelli- gent methods to business enterprise : People are coming from every quarter of the state to see our magnificent warerooms filled with goods of every quality and de- sign. Every mother and every mothers child knows that when they come to us they will get 100 cents worth of goods for every dollar they spend. We take pride in watching the market closely. for the cheaper we can buy our goods, the cheaper we can sell them to the customer.
 We have another carload of those Cham Der Suits and Parlor Suits that have been such a welcome surprise to the people. Remember We have the best storage ware house in the state and you can have your goods under lock and key. night watchman in the building.

PREPARED FOR BATTLE.
Clash Between Troops and strikers ImmI-
 nent at Sacramento.

nent at Sacramento.
 SAN FRANCISCO, July Ii.-Thcrc arc many conservative men of affairs here who fear and believe that today will de- yelop a desperate conflict between federal soldiers and the striking American Rail- way union and their allies. Sacramento is the prominent threatening point. The seriousness of the situation Is shown in the warlike precautions that the army author itics have taken. The big ferry steamer Alameda steamed acruss the bay to the Prcsidio wharf. Two troops of cavalry and five batteries of light artillery were rushed on board Gatling guns and two Hotchkiss cannon were in cvidcncs', and Colonel Graham, cOmmandant at the Prcsidio. was personally in command Of the expedition.
 The Alameda. with her formids le looking cargo, steamed directly tow i-d the mouth of the Sacramento river, but so guarded had the army authorities been that 1t was not known until she entered the river channel whether her destination was the state capital or Oakland.
 The publication Of President Glove lands proclamation caused intense excite ment in Sacramento but when 1t became positively known that Colonel Graham and his soldiers to the number of 300 were already cn route to re enforce the state troops at the state capital the excitement there became wild and ominous Tho strikers grew louder in their threats to re- sist any further attempt to clear the rail road yards and depot, and their leaders loudly proclaimed that tho Southern Pa ciflc company would not be permitted to move its trains.
 Armed men soon appeared in the streets. As if in preparation for battle, they trans ferred their arms and ammunition from their storehousA on ] strCct to their head quarters near the railroad yards No at tempt at cOncealmcnt was made. The strikers marched boldly through the streets bearing their weapons on their shoulders, and they vrN loudly cheered by hundreds Cf iIpa. hiE"rS.
 It is claimed that the \. R. |. arsenal holds at least l,Gnn riileS and shotguns and quantities Of ammunition. The strik- FITS who came into thu train seized nt Dunsmuir brought in over goo rifles, which they had collected at Dunsmuir, Red Bluff and Sisson. Another train from Truckee also brought in guns and ammunition. There are now over 1000 of these strikers in Sacramento to resist the federal and state troops. Flushed with their victory over the United states mar shals and police on Tuesday last and a | complete victory over more than 1000 state militiamen on the following day, they arc in just the mood to resist the United States regulars

Regulars Fired Into n Mob of Foreigners
 nt Spring Valley.
 STRING VALLEY, Ills, July l1.-Com- pany c of the Fifteenth regiment rcgu- lars, commanded by Captain Conrad. came into collision with the mob at this place, and after patiently enduring 0 vol icy after volloy of stones they fired into tho mob, killing two men and wounding several others.

 Tho fight occurred when Rock Island rain bearing tho troops pulled into the iepot. At the time of Its arrival n large mob of Italians, Poles and Hungarians was gathered upon the hill overlooking she depot Tho arrival of tho train was greeted with yolls and jccrs, and stones be- gan to rattle down upon the depot plat form.
 As the men filed on the depot platform they were greeted by chorus of yells, and stones rained down around them. Cap tain Conrad raised his hand and called to the mob to cease throwing stones. It obcyed him for m instant, but seeing the troops remain passive rcgaincd Its vicious ness and sent volley after yolley of stones at tho soldiers, at the same time draw Ing closer and becoming more threaten Ing. Captain Conrad ordered his men to aim, and as moro stones came at the sol diers he gave tho word to fire. The mob broke for tho timber when the firing be- gan and hns not assembled since. The troops wont back to Chicago.
 Earlier in the day, as a party of deputies was travelling from Princeton to Spring Valley in wagons, some strikers in am. bush fired upon them, wounding Deputy $. T. Powell In tho face.
