A Word to Farmers.

The advertisement of the Montpelier
Hardware Company, to be found on the
agricultural page will be read with especial
farmers of Vermont. This firm has long
enjoyed an enviable reputation as extensive
dealers in all kinds OF farming implements
and farm machinery, and the farmers of
Washington county long ago learned that
their prices are az low as is consistent with
frst-class goods in this line. The horse
rakes advertised on page six are the same
kind and make that have formerly been
sold for S25. No better rake is made than
the New York Champion " or the Buffalo
Pitts" A little later the WAToHMAN will
tell its readers something of the extensive
warehouse the Montpelier Hardware Com
pany is erecting on Berlin street.

MOUNT COMES OUT.
Announces Himself as a Candidate
for GubernatOrial HOnors.

James A. Mount, of Shannondale Mont
gomery county, has been in attendance upon
the meetings OF the Indiana Industrial As
sociations this week. Mr.. Mount was State
Senator from this county in 1889 and 1898.
Mr.. Mount was seen last night and ad-
mitted he is candidate for Governor. He
said: Il have been considering the pro-
priety OF announcing myself as a candi-
date for the nomination for three or four
months, but had not fully made up my
mind to do so until coming here this week.
There were several reasons had for hesi-
tating. In the first place, there are a num-
Der of very excellent men already in the
field. any one of whom would be perfectly
worthy Of the honor. Then have hesitated
entering the political turmoils incidental
to campaign. The prospect is not alto
gether attractive to a man who enjoys the
quietude of private life. Several of my
friends. however. have urged me to be-
come candidate, or at least let my posi-
ton be known. Members or the State press
have spoken of me as a possible candidate
some have even said that was a candi-
date-and, in view of the circumstances,
have thought 1 should make my intentions
known. / had not fully determined 10
avow myself candidate until coming here
this week. To my friends 1 have said,
only ifJon the understanding that If / am
not CHOSEN there shall be no bad feeling
displayed. and that L shall expect them TO
support the candidate chosen, whoever he
may be, as i shall most certainly do.
am in the race and shall do all l can to
secure the nomination"
Mr.. Mount says, while he has always
been identified with farming interests, he
does not consider himself what might be
termed 1.-The farmers candidate he has
always urged upon farmers the necessity
of recognizing the fact that the interests
of all classes are mutual in this State. He
says he has labored hard to remove
class prejudices as any man in the State,
and has had in view the good of all indus
tries, manufacturing as we'll as farming.

TROUBLES OF THE POLICE.
PatrOlman walker Gets Out Of a Sc
riOus Charge with a Reprimand.

Patrolman Rollin F. Walker was tried by
the Board of Public Safety yesterday on
the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer.
The charges were preferred by police Cap
tain Dawson, who found Walker in the re-
sort of May Thomas, at No. 222 West Chesa-
peake street. last Friday night. Captain
Dawson testified that he visited the house
with the sergeant of the district about 10
o'clock and found Walker in one of the
parlors with ex-policeman Graham and two
women. The men had thrown of their
overcoats and sat near a table. on which
lay deck of cards. When the captain and
sergeant entered the room one of the women
remarked that they had been having a social
game of cards Sergeant Kruger corrobo-
rated the statement of Captain Dawson.
Walker and Graham admitted their presence
in the house. but denied having played cards.
Graham said that he took off his overcoat.
but Walker did not. The latter testified that
it was but little after o'clock when he Wis
doing some work in Chief Colbert's Office
that day, and went directly from police
headquarters to the corner Of Capitol ave-
nue. and WASHINGTON street, where he was
TO meet his wife and accompany her TO an
entertainment to be given by the Eastern
Star. While waiting on the corner he met
Graham, and they started out to see what
they could see" Walker said that his visit
to the house Of the Thomas woman was
purely Of professional character. although
he was not on duty. The propretress of the
resort testified that the men did not play
cards. Superintendent Colbert said that
Walker was a good man and had never been
in trouble before. The board sharply repri-
manded the offender, but let him off with
out fine.
Patrolmen Pat Curran and John Beatty
were fined five days pay for sleeping on
on the morning OF Jan. 3, asleep in a sale
stable at the corner of Washington and
Davidson streets, by police Sergeant Hy-
men had apparently fallen asleep while Sit
ting by a warm stove. Neither OF the men
denied the charges. President MCGUIRE, OF
good records had saved them from the more
serious punishment.

A RUNNING CIRCUIT
REPRESENTATIVES, OF SIX CITIES
HOLD A CONFERENCE.
Season Of the Dumping"
Horses This Spring.

Six cities interested in the formation of
a new running-race circuit were represented
in a meeting at the Grand Hotel last even
ing. The cities are Indianapolis, Columbus.
Terre Haute, Toledo, Elkhart and Saginaw.
Sterling r. Holt, president of the Indian
apolis Driving Club, represented the inter-
ests Of this city, and presided at the meet
ing. Other members of the Indianapolis
club were present. Columbus was represent
ed by Charles e. Conrad. although several
others were here. Albert Wanelke repre-
scented Toledo and W. #. Beechman the city
OF Terre Haute. President Barney, of the
Elkhart Driving Club, was present in behalf
of that city. When all those interested IN
the project gathered in the parlors, at s
o'clock, there was quite delegation.
Speeches were made by the representa-
tives of the different cities. There was
sentiment that running races in each of the
six cities named would meet public support
and approval The question arose concern
ing the possibility of the contemplated cir
cult getting good stables and thereby in
surfing first-c,ass races. Not one word Of OBJ
lection was heard to the formation of such
a circuit The question was talked over at
length and the merits of the different cities
considered.
In behalf of Indianapolis it was said that
the city is large enough to support good
running races, and it was thought by men,
bers Of the driving club that running races
will receive better support here than do
trotting and pacing races. The Indianapolis
club wants the meeting to be held here early
in May, as not to interfere with a trot-
ting meeting should it be decided to hold
one later in the season. The outcome of
the conference was to decide on another
meeting within thirty days, when the or
ganization will be perfected. In the mean
time Robert Aull, of st. Louis, an authority
on running races, will be consulted to learn
the probability of the proposed new circuit
getting good stables and to obtain informa-
ton concerning running circuits.
