The Georgetown school bonds
were sold on the 18th to the Bank
'of Montpelier, which institution
took them at par. The directors
will next week advertise for bids,
for constructing their new school
building in the EXAMINER. Work
on the same will begin as soon as
possible. The structure will cost
about $4,000, leaving $4,000 for
fnnituie, etc. There will one more
handsome and substantial school
building be added the many now in
Bear Lake county.
The California process, used by
Douglas Hix for exterminating
squirrels, has been doing the work
most efectually and a large con-
signment Of the eradicator is now
on the way here. Mr.. Hoff has
received most encouraging reports
from his squirrls, recently sent east,
and the parties doing the expert
menting will ship him some of the
virus to make a field test. If it
is successful, the above named
gentlemen will shortly rid the
valley of this pest. AS it is thous-
ands will be killed in this valley.
1t is said that Messrs Buckley
and son who own the wooden mill
are thinking seriously of locating
it in this city. Once again the
EXAMINER asks that the business
men take some action looking to
keeping this plant in Montpelier.
Only a little encouragement is
needed and it surely ought to be
given. Paris has a wooden mill in
constant operation and Montpelier
certainly can better support such
an adventure than the county seat
We hope some action wi II be taken
Immediately before the machinery
is taken away.

There is no use in denying
the fact that the Montpelier
delegation are sore over the
treatment they received, and
especially the defeat of DR..
Hoover for delegate, at the
Bloomington meeting. True,
three delegates were chosen
from 0his city, but they, in
common with the rest of the
representatives from this town
supposed at least that DIR.
Hoover would be chosen by a
large majority. AS the Doc
tor stated, he did not care par
ticularly for the honor, but,
nevertheless, he is chairman
OF the republican county CEN
trail committee. and as such,
has devoted his time, money
and energy, for the success of
that party in this county, and
Il was only just that he should
Lave been elected. Tt would
have been in the nature of an
endorsement of his work, which

Explanation off. H. Riley
a5eweler.

There no doubt will be a great
many personsin Montpelier that
cannot understand the circum-
stances Of the action Of the above!
Herewith is the said l. P. Rileys
explanation:
In the first place l took it into my
head to go back east, and having
stock Of goods which sold to f.
Hansen (stock being worth about
$4o0.l The arrangement we made
was, that he was to pay two checks,
one in the amount of $500 and
one Of $4,000 one ticket to New
York, costing $500 and $4,000
cash, and he to pay all bills I owed
which amounted in all to less than
$4,000. He to sceept all goods
namely, show case, clocks, watches
and jewellery. I only to take my
tools and repairing materials. To
show that he was satisfied he al
lowed me to take for myself after
the bargain was struck, one watch
and one pin which | got, upon
which I turned over to him my
book Of accounts to collect amount
ing to something over 800. 90
which is his own money upon col
lection. The night | was about to
start for New York there was a
writ upon my tools by another
party to detain them and thereby
caused me really to be a pauper,
without means of making my liv.
ing or any way to subsist. The
blame may be attached to this
party through some trading be-
tween US. The trade was this:
agreed to send for a new watch
selected from the catalogue upon q
payment Of IS more to me on the
trade, an old watch, which was a
part of the bargain and a ring to be
repaired, l had not the material to
do it with amounting to $1.50 cents
l sent it back east with the order
for the new watch upon receipt of
which l was to get $3.50 al
together; The night I was about
to start for New York the goods
arrived, which could have been OBJ
tanned by the party designated
My tools being detained through
these means it left me unable to
leave with my ticket for New York
and also unable to get my living.
Thereby l was stranded here which
| think is a shame for any person
to be the cause Of. I am in pos
session of medal which l won in
competition with others in 1881
for skilled workmanship in watch
making. I have determined to
start here again in the store one
door east of Frank Jones butcher
shop where l shall always be pre-
pared to accommodate everybody in
Montpelier or elsewhere in watch
making, repairing ETC., etc, and
solicit the patronage of all. Hop
ing to get the same I am

CALLS US ANARCHISTS.

We direct attention of our demo
cratic readers to extracts taken from
the st. Louis Globe Democrat of r.
E. Lewis speech on the occasion OF
his receiving the republican nomina
tion for governor. How do you like
to be called Socialists and Anarchists
by this new convert to republican
ism; this traitor to the party whose
only otfense lay in giving him office
and honoring him far above his just
deserts' Herefers tlippantly to the
Lost Cause, of which his father was
brave and honored soldier, and
goes into rhapsody of praise over
Grant, Sheriden, Logan and Gar
field He is no more devoted to the
flag of our country, because OF his
conversion TO republicanism, than
those brave fellows who accepted
defeat at Appomatox and have been
and are loyal citizens, though pos
sessing the courage of their political
convictions. We are not surprised
that Mr.. Bryans declaration, that
you shall not press upon the brow
Of labor this crown of thorns" is
nightmare to candidate Lewis The
thing the republicans do not want is
to remove the crown of thorns from
the brow Of labor which republican
Legislation has been pressing down
for thirty years, and which they are
seeking to further press down with
their single gold standard and Nc
kinley tariff. And this little turn
colt Lewis calls us Anarchists be.
cause we stand for the common peo
pie and against his robber tariffs;
because we are desirous of increasing
the circulating medium by rehabili-
tatins silver, which republican Con-
gress assassinated, struck down in
the dark when no one was looking
for such a dastardly stroke, the
enormity of which crime was for
years in revealing in all its hideous-
ness. And now they talk of sacred.
ness OF contracts, reputation, etc,
when we only seek to come into our
own. 1t would be better for Mr..
Lewis hereafter if he would prepare
his speeches and not let enthusiasm
for his newly found faith dwarf his
Judgment and better nature.
