with its wonderful power as blood

creates an appetite, gives refreshing

The Republicans of Windbam county adopt
and affirm the platforms of the national and
state Republican conventions. We pledge our
support 20 the national, state and county tick
cts.
We believe that the dominant issues of this
campaign are protection and sound money, TO
which Republicans are uDreseryedly committed,
but above and beyond all issues are two records
Numerically opposed. The Democratic party
has been tried and found wanting. 1t is a
house divided against itself. In legislation incom
potent and Inconsistent, in foreign policy un.
American, Under Its rule, industry has Ian.
guished, trade has stagnated, credit has been
Impaired, confidence shaken, blight has rested
upon The nation. We believe the traditions and
history OF the Republican party show II 10 be
one Of honest intentions, OF definite purpose,
with ability TO accomplish the missions intrusted
TO IL. We want Republican rule because II is
American In all things, because 1t aims at the
greatest good OF the greatest number, remem.
berng In this connection, that III any provide
not for his own he hath denied the faith and Il
worse than AN inGdel." We welcome TO our
ranks all who will cast their first ballot this
year, and all who have in the past AM lated
with other parties, not with the incentive OF
bonors or emoiuments, but Of the principles for
which our party contends, OF the kind OF govern.
nent II sees TO maintain. We look TO the fu
ture with the confidence of assured victory, of
pledges fulfilled, ola nation redeemed.

Col Hooker said there was no reason
in the world why he should be retired.
1t was hard to step on man in this
way who has endeared himself to all
our people, like Morrill,. Do things
openly. When he can't perform his du
ties, successor will be appointed.
Ii. N. Fits of Wardsboro said he
had received letter from the Judge
recently asking his help as an old
friend for denomination.

course and to his mind they were ev-

said he had been talked with both

the whole story
A. A Butterfield said he remembered

Tower Street Railway MIDDLE.

The city of Tower has begun suit
against the Tower & Soudan Street
Railway comdany, A. FL. Crassweller,
it's receiver, and the American Loan
and Trust company to annul the rail
ways franchise. The road was given
a franchise in Marcn, 1890, and it re-
ceived also the city's bond for $4,000,
tue consideration for both of which
was that the road should run for
twenty years. 1t ran spasmodically
until March 4, 1894, when it expired,
and it is now one of the ddadest roads
in the country.
]. The city claims that the franchise
and bond and in fact the road itself is
forfeit, and it wants the court to an
null the franchise and give it all there
is left of the road, $3.50 yards of steel
rails, worth $780, The American
Loan and Trust company claims some
title to the rails by virtue of bonds of
the road, but the city claims that it's
claim is prior. The right-of-way Of
the road has lapsed to the original
owners long ago. w. G. Bonham is
the attorney.

Sad Inte1sigence Awaits Him.

A dispatch from Minneapolis of
July Is says: "While bathing at Lake
Minnetonka, Florence Mills, aged Is,
Birdie Mills, aged IA, daughters of F.
B. Mills, and Helen Cheney, aged Ii,
daughter of William Cheney, all of
this city, were drowned at 5 O'Clock
this evening. The accident was due
to them walking into channel
dredged some years ago for steamboat
traffic. All the bodies have been re-
covered"
The Misses Mills have a resident
brother in this city, Mr.. Eugene Mills,
who came up with the mining stud
ents of the State University on their
recent trip over the ranges and who.
to further gain practical knowledge
in his studies, accepted a position
with the Chandler which he held up
to two weeks ago. For the past two
weeks he has been in the woods, about
40 miles from here, on vacation, ac-
companying Herman Schultz and
Forbes Harris to their claims and does
not know of the sorrowful occurance.
He is expected to return tomorrow.

TOWER VS.. ELY.
A Holly Contested Game Between These
Clubs Last Sunday
day night July

A Holly Contested Game Between These
Clubs Last Sunday.
The ball game Sunday between the
Tower and Ely clubs was one of the
best games ever witnessed by an Ely
audience. The Tower boys had the
best of it during the first inning,
making four runs and treating Ely to
a generous dose of whitewash. The
Ely nine seemed to have lost entire
confidence in themselves during the
first inning, but pulled together in
the next and placed six straight goose
eggs on Towers tally sheet. In the
eigth the Towers made two more runs.
The Ely boys made one in the fourth,
three in the fifth, one in the sixth
and two in the ninth inning, winning
on score Of to 6. The clubs as
they stood Sunday were we'll matched
and played an excellent game. Hart,
and Fitch, of the Towers, are first
class ball players, but at that have
got none the best of our boys.
A very prominent feature of the
game was the double plays, no
less than six having been made, three
on the Ely side and three on the
Tower. This makes the seventh
straight schedule game the Ely boys
have won and their percentage stands
1000. Only one game was lost, July 4,
this game being prize exhibition
game and had no connection with the
schedule whatever Next Sunday
the boys play at Virginia and a hot
game is expected.
