The Weather TO-DAY.
ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.

The annual school meeting last Tues
day, of the graded school district,
which includes the whole town, was
not very largely attended. There were
less than 180 votes cast. II A. Win
ship was elected moderator; j. M
Warden, clerk; j. G. Stearns, treas
urer; FL. A. Winship, Charles Jones
and I'll. G. McDuffee, auditors; and
Henry III. DeGOosh, trustee for three
years. The reports of the trustees and
treasurer were adopted without dis.
cussion. Mr.. Dickey for the trustees,
submitted report somewhat modified
or corrected from the printed report
that was circulated. AS some criticism
had been made upon the printed report
for its lack of information Mr.. Dickey
made some statements not contained in
the report. He said that the schools of
the town for 1894 cost $5. .656 AZ, while
those of 1895 cost but $5,3l6,65. The
expenses of the past year were as fol-
lows, viz:
Teachers in the village. $3,001 05
Teachers outside the village, Sl2 00
Fuel, ATT 35
Carving scholars, 7S0 43
Trustees services, 200 90
Janitor, $50 so
Water rent, 49 Oh
The report of the trustees suggests
that 55 per cent on the grand list will
meet all anticipated expenses of the
wear 1896, and pay something of the
Indebtedness, Mr.. Dickev says about
5000 of the debt. Fifty-five cents
%y will raise So 252 so on the list with
!, ruowing anything fnf@Gisoo&ht Or
abatements. He stated the indebted
ness of the district TO be 6,42l 08
One of our citizens who has been
school director before the whole town
was taken into the graded district,
computes the gross Indebtedness of the
district, from the report of the trustees
to be SO, ,32l.S7. He saws this does not
include debt of about $1,000 contract
ed bv district No. 10, ana which the
graded school district may be compell-
ed to pay. Our expenses are large,
but we have had very excellent schools
during the past yea" and it would be a
great misfortune TO have the standard
lowered.

HOME INDUSTRY.

1t gives the OPINION pleasure to
note the inception and progress of any
industry which bids fair to increase
the prosperity of a community; and
especially when such an industry comes
within our own radius. The new Rye
gate Granite Works Company is a con-
solidation of two or three old, we'll es-
tablished concerns, already thoroughly
equipped for extensive work. The
works OF the new company are located
at what has been known for many
years as the Quint place, on the Mont
pelier and Wells River railroad. be-
tween Boltonville and South Ryegate.
The grand superiority of this location
is its water power and railroad facili-
ties, combination which will place
this concern in position to easily COM
pete with any similar works in New
England. Its stockholders and officers
are practical granite and well-known
business men and we can see no rea-
son why this combination will not be
profitable to the projectors and posi-
tive help to the community.
Hon. Horace w. Bailey, the president
of the new company, has been many
ears trustee of onr savings bank and
is well known in this section, as are all
its officers and stock holders. We ap-
pend the following from the St, Johns

M'KTNLEY's NEIGHBOR.
Mr.. Dueber Tells Why He Has Been
Silent on Finances.

Kansas City, June l8-MajOr Mckin-
ley's friend and neighbOr, 1T. O. Due Der
of the great Canton watch factory
which bears the Dueber name, came
into Kansas City and registered at the
Midland. Mr.. Dueber's mansion is di-
rectly across the street from the maple
shaded home Of Major Mckinley, and
he has a gate-pOst acquaintance with
Major Mckinley. They have chatted
across the fence for years in the even
ing quiet after the gOOdly fashion of
good neighbOrs in good American towns
the wide country over.
Major Mckinley is a sound money
man" said Mr.. Dueber. There can be
no question about it. His silence is
simply political pOlteness. AS the
logical candidate of his party. who is
already accepted as its candidate for
president. he does not wish to coerce
or precipitate its action in a grave pub
lie question. a statement from Major
Mckinley now, on any question, would
be the same as instructions to the
party i'm convention assembled. Major
Mckinley is a great man. but he does
not consider himself greater than his
party. / know myself that Major Nc
kinley is sound money man"
How about the 1890 letter to the
Farmers alliance2"
"Weu" replied Mr.. Dueber slowly
IF you go back in any public mans
career on any question which has
grown from a cloud the size of man IS
hand to OvershadOWing proportions,
