County Fair. An unusually interesting

County Fair.-An unusually interesting
list of attractions has been arranged for
the Caledonia county fair, Sept. Is, 16
and II. The coaching parade on We'd
nesday will undoubtedly be the finest
thing of the kind ever seen in this place.
There will be good number of entries,
and all will vie with one another to turn
out the finest float. Prot Bonette will
make balloon ascensions and parachute
drops on the last two days, as it is now
quite sure that he will be fully recovered
from his late accident by that time. All
remember the interesting exhibitions of
French coach horses, Dorset horned
sheep and blooded stock made by the
Speedwell farms the past fairs. The dis
play will be repeated this year with the
improvements and additions that have
been made since the last fair. new
feature not yet seen in this section will
be the trick and lancy bicycle riding on
Wednesday and Thursday. Wonderful
things are now being done on the bicycle
and this feature will be well worth see.
ing. During the week the merchants of
the town will offer bargains, giving vis-
tors an unusual opportunity of making
their fall purchases at low prices. The
expense Of attending the iair can be
saved by making few necessary pur-
chases at our stores. Reduced rates on
the railroad, as usual, and the second
day rates will be lower than usual. 1t is
the sen-centennial of the fair, and the
event will be celebrated by giving the
public the best fair in the history OF

Base Ball.-The village ball team
played at Marshield last Friday and
won the game by score of to 5. 1t
was close and interesting game, well
played by both sides. The battery work
for the st. Johnsbury team was done by
Graves and Mclaughlin. The boys spent
Friday night in Marsh6eld and report a
pleasant time. Saturday morning they
went to Barre and played that after
noon, being defeated by score of II to
8. Green and Mclaughlin did the bat
terry work for st. Johnsbury. 1t was a
close game up to the ninth inning, when
the score stood to 5 in favor of Barre
Both teams found the ball the last inn
ing and left the score II to in Barrels
favor. Andrew Moore attended the ball
team on this trip as mascot. Andrew
was happy over the result of the Marsh
field game, but the Barre game was not
as he planned it, though his part of the
programme was carried out in excellent
style.

this fall. He is over 80 years old, and
cast his first vote for Jackson in 1928,
having the satisfaction of being on the
winning side at the start, even if he isn't
so fortunate in the year 1896. Mr..
Hubbard says he isn't exactly free
silver man, and there are one or two
things in the Chicago platform that
don't meet his hearty approval, but he
prefers it to the one put up by the repub-
licans, and will therefore stick to the old
party.

Electric Railroads. plans talked OF

Electric Railroads. plans talked OF
are carried out electric railroads will soon
be thick in Vermont. At the next legisla-
ture application will be made for a
charter for an electric railroad running
from Island Pond by way of the town Of
Charleston, the village of Barton and
Glover to some point on the line of the
St. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain rail-
road in the town Of Greensboro, Orleans
county.
Another application will be made for
charter for an electric railroad running
from Newport to Island Pond.
1t is also understood that bill will be
presented to the coming legislature for a
charter for company to build and
operate a railroad between Rutland and
Montpelier. Should such a move be
successful and charter granted, it is
understood that plenty OF capital stands
ready to back the enterprise, and it
would probably go through at once.
In the meantime what we would like
to know in this section is, what has
become of the ST. Johnsbury electric rail-
road that was going to stretch out and
connect with all the surrounding towns.
This is about the time that the cars were
expected to start, but trig OF some kind
has evidently got into the wheels. Per
haps we shall haveit next year; probably

Big Fish at Harvey's Pond.-W. A.
Kicker and family have been spending a
two weeks vacation at Harvey's Pond
in West Barnet. Mr. Kicker is fond of
fishing, and last Friday night baited his
hook for bullpouts, rowed out to the
middle of the pond and threw out his
line. He fshed fora time without much
success, but finally felt nibble on his
hook that made him think of big fish. 1t
was nothing but a five pound eel, though
Mr.. Kicker thoug!. it was sea serpent
or something of that kind before he got
it all out of the water.
George Ranney and family returned
Tuesday from Harvey's pond and
brought home with them a three and
one-half pound pickerel caught by ]. F.
Hardy. This is the biggest pickerel
caught there this season.

agement, the directors have left no stone
unturned to make it an unqualified sue
cess. Their motto seems to be lever
onward" and they certainly live up to it.
They have never gone back, and from
present appearances this years fair will
eclipse everything that has gone before.
Among the many attractions advertised,
it will be seen, on references to the adver-
tisement, that excellent trotting, pacing
and running races are to be held on four
days, Sept. /, 2, 3 and 4. The Webb
family, the best-known acrobats on the
continent, Robetta and Doretto, the
Garden trio Robb and lexington, and
many Others will keep the crowd amused
between races. The grounds and build
ings are being put in tirst-class shape.
A new and slightly entrance building is
being erected, and the main building
newly shinged throughout, and other
improvements made. Entries and appli-
cations for space are pouring in, as well
as for privileges and many amusing side
show attractions, which all go to make
up successful fair. We can promise our
readers, one and all, old and young, the
most enjoyable holiday OF the year at
the Sherbrooke fair.

Free TravelIing.-A stranger called at
Bailey & Jewetts stable last Sunday
afternoon and put up his team in their
stable and then hired team to 60 to
Lyndonyille. Not hearing from him the
next day the livery firm asked Sheriff
Sulloway to look the man up. Mr..
Suloway started up north and acci.
IDENTIFY met Mr.. Martin of Barton who
was looking for the same man that the
sheriff was hunting for. 1t seems that the
stranger continued his journey from st.
Johnsbury to Barton and there exchanged
Bailey & Jewett's horse for one of Mr..
Martins and then started for Canada.
He told Mr.. Martin his name was Bug
bee, but Sheriff Sulloway has found out
that his pame was Lewellyn Gibson
and that the horse he stabbed in st.
Johnsbury belonged to liveryman in
Windsor. Bailey & Jewett have returned
the horse to Windsor and recovered their
own horse from Mr.. Martin, while the
latter is minus one horse by the trans
action and both Mr.. Martin and Sheriff
Sulloway are hunting for Mr.. Gibson.
The latter was working his passage
through to Canada by a frequent ex-
change of horses and the last liveryman
in this somewhat remarkable circuit is
minus a good horse and carriage and
Gibson il found will be arrested for
stealing. Mr.. Gibson abandoned his
horse at Richford and Mr.. Martin will
pro obably get it back.

Republican caucus.-The call for the

Republican Caucus.-The call for the
republican caucus to nominate town
representative brought out PIT voters
at the Town Hall Saturday afternoon.
After the customary procedure of several
declinations for chairman of the meeting,
N. M. Johnson accepted the position and
the organization was completed by the
selection OF Col. Dennis E. May as clerk.
DR.. Billiard began the speechmaking by
an urgent appeal to the voters to allow
no representatives OF any organization
in the hall except the members of the
republican party. John Mcdonald sup
ported the Doctor in a few remarks.
DR.. Billiard then tried to adjourn the
caucus, but failing in this left the room.
The caucus then began to do business,
and on motion Of Harry Blodgett
ballot was called for. Marshall Mont
gomery nominated Freeman A. Pierce
for town representative, A. H. Mcleod
nominated Perley F. Hazen, and Alex
ander Duunett nominated Henry c.
Bates. The result of the first and only

And Chairman Johnson declared Mr..
Pierce to be the nominee OF the caucus.
The following justice ticket was also
nominated: Walter P. Smith, Albro F.
Nichols, Edwin c. Potter. Delos M.
Bacon, Charles w. Ruiter, E. L. Hoyey,
Albert Worcester, A. W. Roberts, Henry
F. Griswold, George P. Moore, George
X. Crosby, Charles H. Horton, Marshall
Montgomery Lambert H. Farnham,
Robert Mackinnon.
The caucus furnished several surprises,
one OF which was the use of colored
ballots. This Objectionable method of
voting has not been used in our caucuses
for several years and we hope it will
be never used again. Another surprise
to some was the turning down" of
Charles A. Calderwood, who was sup
posed to be one of the leading candidates
IN the race. Mr.. Calderwood was
beaten before the caucus by the very
ones from whom he had expected
hearty support. Mr.. Hazen, who had
many warm friends in the caucus, had
announced that he had withdrawn from
the contest and no ballots were dis
tributed in his interest until after the
caucus had been called to order Some
of his friends wanted 10 vote for him and
he allowed his name to be used. The
nominee of the caucus is chairman of the
republican town committee, one of the
selectmen and a thoroughly upright
business man.

BoH0 OF TIE HEATED TERM.
a Girl Who Was Overcome Last
Summer Takes Laudanum.

Maggie ECKER, afpretty fourteen-year-old
girl Of No. 222 Third street. is lying in
St. Francis Hospital in a dangerous con-
dition as a consequence of having taken
a dose Of laudanum last night with suici-
dai intent. The girl refuses TO be inter-
viewed and also declines to say what
prompted her TO try to end her life. Her
father, an industrious mechanic. is also
at q loss to account for her action. The
police were told q variety Of stories con-
corning the case. The first was that she
had had trouble with Mrs. Peter .Lowery,
OF NO 2yS Second street, where she had.
until a few days ago, been a frequent
caller. Mrs. Lowery would not say what
the trouble was nor would she discuss
the girls act.
A second story was that she worried a
months ago her father and mother sepa-
rated. This is aid to have grieved her to
a great extent. A third and what is con-
sioered the most probable story is that
IN August, during the hot weather, she
was overcome by the heat. Since that
has watched her for weeks past and has
told the police, 1t is said, that he believes
his daughter never recovered from the
eat prostration.
The girl has not been in good health
for several weeks. and at times has been
scarcely able to attend to the hoasehold
affa1rs. She and an older sister kept
house for their father on the top floor
OF the tenement, No. 222 Third street.
She was a popular young lady and vas
up to the time she was overcome by the
heat active n gay. Her friends say
she has not acted like herself for weeks.
The Hospital physicians say there is q
fair chance for her recovery.
