CUTTING OFF LAZY ONES.
A Plan Adopted by the Selectmeu
 Which Works We'll.

Plan Adopted by the Seltetmen
 Which Works We'll.
 The se!ectmen have been trying for some time to devise a method by which they could rid themselves of the responsi- billty of caring for many of the outside poor whom they considered unworthy of assistance. To that end whenever able bodied men or women. or strong healthy boys or girls applied for resistance they were asked if they were willing to work. Usually the answer was in the affirmative. Many of these. through the aid of the se- lectmen and Superintendent Cnmbellack of the Boys club, were given positions. This would relieve the town. In the ma Jority of cases. however, it was found that after working few days. these people whom the town had been supporting and who were always down. hearted because they could not secure work, either struck for more pay or gave up the work secured for them altogether Such people are stricken from the town poor book and are given no further aid In all twenty-three of that sort have been GU. of The selectmen consider this & good plan to discover the deserving poor and suggest that people who desire to pro- cure help of any kind would consult them.

CARD FROM A CITIZEN.
Editor of the DEMncEAr:

Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 see by the mornings paper that the committee appointed by the district com mittee have decided to accept the third il or of the Platt block. as the most fea- sible location for school rooms. It is simply astounding that men of ordinary intelligence and with any regard for the welfare of children. physically and mor- ally, could consistently recommend such a place. Rignt Tn the center ot the city. with but narrow exit to narrow side walk. Tn a narrow street. with not even the roof to get d breath of pure ar; right over two of tbe busiest saloons in the city and the exit near by third. where the children can look from their seats right down on the bars of these saloons It Is both astounding and outrageous. We have confidence enough in our board of education to predict that when this place Is offered to them for approval tonight that it will receive its proper disposal.

FOR THE CONVENTION.
The Exposition Hall Seats will
Have to be Re-

arranged,


Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE main
details OF the Republican national con-
vention at ST. Louis on June Is were
perfected at meeting today of the sub
committee appointed last night to take
charge of arrangements. Messrs. Ke-
rens and Thompson, Representing st.
Louis, were present at the meeting and
gave assurances that the plans proposed
would be speedily executed.
The committee agreed that the seating
arrangements of the st. Louis exposition
building needed remodeling. At pres
ent the rostrum is at one end of the vast
hall, so that people at the other end are
too far. away to hear what is going on.
It was decided to have the rostrum
placed midway and at one side of the
hall, with the seats of delegates arranged
accordingly. A diagram of the change
is to be completed by the ST. Louis people
sembling. It will show the central ar
rangement and will designate the seats
of each state delegation. The altera-
tons of the building probably will cost
$4,000.
The question of alloting tickets
brought out much animated discussion.
The exposition building accommodates
$4,000 people, but these limits are ex-
pected to be severely taxed. 1t is I'M
derstood that an understanding was
reached that the st. Louis local commit
tee would not control more than 1000
tickets and that of these 500 would go
to veterans of the war and 500 to dis
tinguished guests. The national commit
tee, it is understood, will control the bal
ance of the tickets, as well as retaining
a supervisory authority over the 5000
tickets going to St. Louis.
The subcommittee adjourned to meet
in st. Louis the latter part of January,
the date to be announced hereafter.
They will personally inspect the hall and
all other features of the convention.
Chairman Carter expects to issue the
formal call for the national convention
within the next day or two. 1t Is i'm
perative that it be issued by the 10Th
inst, in order to give full six months
notice for the election of delegates to
the convention.
The excitement attending the national
committee meetings has subsidized now
chat most of the committeeman and dele
cations representing cities have gone
home. The jubilant st. Louis party left
on a special train at 1850 today for
New York city, where they will have
quarters at the Waldorf hotel.
The friends of Gov. Mckinley will
close their quarters at the Arlington to-
day and thereafter will have permanent
rooms at the Hotel Cochran in this city,
with Chairman Grosvenor and an execu-
tive committee of five persons in general

BARS INNER CIRCLES. j"
Allied Unions Do Not Wish Affili-
alton with the Knights
Of Labor.

New York, Dee. 11-So slowly has
the work of the American Federation
of Labor progressed that instead of ad-
journment being reached OF Friday or
by Saturday noon at the latest, which
was the original programme, it is not
likely that the election of officers will be
reached before Monday and possibly
Tuesday of next week. The main OBJ
struction is the contested seats in the
convention, a matter which is usually
disposed of on the first day of the annual
conventions. AT the opening session to-
day the credentials committee recon-
mended, the convention concurring, that
w. q. Ward, claiming to represent a
painters union, dual organization, be
denied q seat.
Subsequently the subject of duality Of
organization within the ranks of the O.
ganlzation was brought up by Vice-Presi
dent Il. j. Elderkin, who predicted that
unless the condition were corrected, the
federation would fall under the control
OF antagonistic elements. Instanting the
case of the 119 lodges of the Brewery
Employees National union, small ma
Jority of which are attached to the
knights of Labor, Mr.. Elderkin said:
''These Knights of Labor assemblies
have a National Trade assembly and
meet III national convention and secretly
leglslate for the National Brewery En-
ployes union. AS a result a great ma
tional union attached to the federation is
controlled absolutely by an inner cir
Gle OF the knights of La bor."
AS remedy for this condition reso-
luton was offered to the effect that here
after a seat shall be refused to any rep
resentative whose organization has with
in it's ranks any other organization com
prising less than the total membership.
At yesterday afternoons session Presi-
dent John Mcbride was exonerated of
the charges that during a strike in Penn
syIvania he had accepted a BRIDE
1t became evident early in the day that
any attempt on the part of the socialists
to run the convention would be nipped
in the bud. In fact, the other delegate s
claim that any interference whatever on
the part of the Socialists would be
promptly "squelched."
In an address to the convention Mr..
Mcbride said this on the subject of inn
migrat ton:
Inasmuch as the last convention decided
that no future restriction of immigration
was needed except in the work of keeping
out such laborers as come here under con-
tract, all criminals other than political and
such persons as are likely to become a pub
lie charge, it would be well for this con
vention to give some attention to the adop-
ton of methods by which assistance can be
given to government officials who seek to
ferret out and punish those who violate the
alien labor law.

SALE OF THE SANTA FE.
Careful Reading of the Courts Order
Necessitates Few Hours


Topeka, Kas, Dec. 1O.-A large crowd
assembled at 10 o'clock today at the To-
peka station of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fee Railway company to witness
the sale of the big road, which was to go
for about $780, 100000. Much surprise
was occasioned when the hour arrived
and the road was not placed, on the auc-
ton block Among the crowd were sew
eral directors of the road and many
prominent people. 1t was soon deter
mined that the official notice of the sale
said o'clock and not 10.
The bidding this afternoon will be
made by Edward King of New York,
who with G. g. Beaman and Victor
as a purchasing committee by the re-
organization committee All are present.
It is expected there will be no opposing
bid and that the offer made to Special
Master johnson will be nominal one
Of say $4,000. The securities (some
$3.50, O0O,O00) are practically all in the
control of the reorganization committee.
The new charter of the company to be
filed with the secretary of state tomor-
row, is exactly the same as the old one
except in the matter of the name, which
now reads 'Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company" instead, OF i rail
road company.
noon Special Master in Chancery j. B.
Johnson, bareheaded, mounted the stone
steps of the station and announced that
he would offer the great railroad prop
erty for sale. A large crowd covered the
platform and the tracks thereabouts.
Mr.. Johnson said that owing to the fail
ure of the railway company to pay $140,-
100000 within a certain twenty days
last fall, the United States court had is
sued a decree ordering the sale Of the
property. He then proceeded to read
the lengthy decree.
The Santa Fe road has been sold for
$6O,O00,000 to Edward King, represent
ing the new company. His was the only
bid and the master declared the property
sold

Menominee, Mich, Dec. 10.-Charles
Tomblad, hermit living a short dis
lance from Bagley, one day last week
attacked a farmer with a gun and a
scythe and attempted to kill him. A
warrant was sworn out, but Tomblad
from his retreat held at bay the sheriff,
his deputy and an assistant who sought
to make the arrest and compelled the
officers to retreat. Two citizens shortly
after thought the arrest might be ac-
complished by strategy, with the result
that one of the men was nearly cut to
pieces by the Infatuated recluse and will
probably die. A posse from Nadeau
headed by Deputy Sheriff Sherry finally
overpowered Tomblad and after heavily
Ironing him landed him in the county
jail last night. The hermit's arsenal
was also brought down and it was q
vicious and murderous outfit, consisting
of two scythes, a dagger and a musket
loaded with twenty buckshot and two
bullets. The man is o SWede and prob
