A MOnstrosily.

c. @. Davis of White Cloud, Kansas, is
a taxidermist. and brother of II. B.
Davis of this place. He recently mounted
a monstrosity, half calf and half dog. The
local paper describes it as follows.
1t was given birth by COW belonging to
Mr.. Dunbar, of Guide Rock, Neb., and is
part calf and part dog. 1t weighed 125
pounds and is covered with short dog hair.
The head has a perfect bull dog shape with
calls expression in the face. One ear is
like calls and the other is like a dogs.
NThe neck is thick and short. The shoulders
are about the same size, but the right hip
and hind leg are large like that of calf,
while the left one is small like that of a
dog. The tail is smooth and covered with
short hair, except a bunch of long hair
right at the end. 1t has two tongues, one
dog tongue and one calf tongue Che
tongue is preserved in alcohoD the dog
tongue has hair on it. 1t has calls feet,
with claws on the bottom.

hand rolling stock Of them at very reason
able figures. We can put in steam cars
for several thousand dollars less than we
can electrics and this is the way the. road
will probably be equipped. If Bellows Falls
wants we should come there let her show
her hand talk has its uses but it won't buy
whiskey.n
Allbee 4 Flynn, attorneys, expressed
themselves as in favor of a line to Bellows
Falls, and Mr.. Flynn is the reputed author
of the article that appeared in the Reporter.
I. L. Ranney, dry goods, II am free to
admit for selfish reasons, that believe 60
ing to the Falls would hurt us CONNER
cially."
c. II. Moore, Blue Store, has one of the
largest stocks of clothing in Windsor
county. Connection with Bellows Falls
would give us no better facilities than if
we went to Charlestown and it has decided
disadvantages for Springfield. Springfield
merchants now get quite deal OF trade
from Charlestown and were there an cleo
trio road, we should get more. If the road
went to the Falls we should lose the
Charlestown trade and some from this
town.
N. c. Dodge, druggist, 81 am not afraid
Of losing any trade to Bellows Falls, but
favor Charlestown because it is more
direct line. It is my opinion, however,
that we shall all see several moons come
and 90 before a road is constructed to anv
point"
f. c. Davis, attorney. "Thc gist of the
whole matter is that the manufacturers are
the ones who want road and who will
have to bear most Of the expense, conse-
quently they are going where they can &C
the cheapest. IF Bellows Falls wants the
road, it is money that talks. The Boston
& Maine are the parties that are talking
with effect just now. If the road went to
Charlestown the merchants here would not
take over one-fifth of the stock; and if il
went to the Falls would take none. So, in
as much as there is very little prospect Of
the towns bonding itself, the merchants
are not the directing force. If a road is
built, the manufacturers will build it, and
they will build it, all things considered
where they can build the cheapest"
Again we invite opinions on the subject

Members Tea at Y. M. c. A.

About 60 sat down to tables at the mem
bers' tea in the Y. M. G. A. rooms Mon
day evening. The spread was arranged
by the entertainment committee of the
Women's Auxiliary, consisting of Mrs. E.
c.. Fairbank and Misses Eleanor Car
ruthers, Mary Baker, Josie Derby and
Gertrude Hayes. An excellent supper was
provided, the occasion proving very en-
joyable one.
During the postprandial exercises Presi-
dent j. G.. Day acted as POSTMASTER in a
manner creditable to himself and pleasing
to those present. The following toasts
were responded to: 'Our Gymnasium, >
G. G. A. Ames; Importance of Educa-
tional Work." H. D. Ryder; ''Spiritual
Work" T. G. Day; "Our Membership, i
E. G. Osgood; and short talks were given
by N. G. Williams, and Revs. C. R. B.
Dodge, j. Z. Fullerton, and j. w. Nara
more.
A meeting Of the board of directors was
held shortly after the .'tea." Besides the
transacting Of considerable routine bust
ness, it was voted to allow the formation
of ladies' classes in gymnastic work, all
classes so formed to be under the patron
age and control of the Women's Auxiliary.
Several of the young ladies in town have
expressed the desire to do gymnastic work,
and it is likely that one or more classes to
meet once week will be formed in the
near future for wand and other light exer-
ciSas

EDITOR ZINES:
A number Of names are being mentioned
for delegate at large to the republican
national convention, but in the list | see
that, as usual, Bellows Falls is left out.
Why not send good man from our own
town? Have we no suitable timber, or
must we confess that Brattleboro alone
contains all the available candidates for
political prelerment? We admit that they
have some mighty smart men down in Brat
tleboro, who are always ready to serve
whenever there is anything to bestow, which
is clever submission on their part; but
has Bellows Falls no man that would fill
the bill in this case and who would honor
the town and themselves if sent to st.
Louis Let us resolve from this time that
we are something more than mere tail to
Brattleboro's kite. You can assist us in
getting a good representative, Mr. Editor,
but let us send him from here.
Yours, For the Party, G. M. T.
1t is a fact that Bellows Falls, and in fact
the southern end Of the state, has never
had its share Of political pie, 1t is also
true that Bellows Falls cannot boast Of a:
many politicians with vaulting ambitions a:
Brattleboro can. Bellows Falls has just a:
good men, but they are more Independent
they tire Of always being 81 in the hands O
their friends This, however, is the
chronic condition Of some Of Brattleboro's
luminaries. Then being delegate to a
national convention entails large expense
Of time and money, and it is not every
man who has business on his hands who
cares for the honorable position.

Stick to Your Work.

One Of the best qualities a person
can have is to stick to the work in
hand or object in pursuit and never
leave it for any trivial cause. 1t is
the one way to become prosperous in
lifd. A habit of sticking to ones
pursuit, we care not how humble it is,
is sure to lead to prosperity in the
end. If you have trade or business
of any kind follow it until you have
gotten out of it all there is to learn
about let this one idea rule all your
doings. Stick to your work no mat
ter how many there are who would
try to distract your attention, and
cause you to lose time and purpose.
Those who fail in life are generally
those who are earnest to-day in one
thing, tomorrow are just as earnest
about something different. Those
who are continually seeking new
fields on limited capital soon have no
capital at all, and are stranded with
nothing left to them but their exper-
ience and demoralized condition OF
mind. Therefore, boys should early
form the habit Of sticking to whatever
they may have in hand and let the
fools do the other thing.

IvOT BALL.

The second attempt to play foot
ball with the Wyoming Seminary
eleven resulted in another draw on
Normal field on Saturday afternoon
last. The Normal team went up to
Kingston about three weeks ago, and
tried to play, but they were unable to
agree on a decision of the umpire,
and the game WAS called of, neither
side having scored. The Normal
team seems confident that they can
defeat the Wyoming boys, if they
will play fair game. They met on
Normal field Saturday afternoon, be
fole a very large crowd of people, and
after practising short time began to
play, but they had not proceeded very
far until Wyoming kicked on deci-
sion of the umpire, and play was
stopped. No one seemed to know
what was the matter, until some small
boys started fight with couple of
fellows who had accompanied the
Seminary team down, and everybody
rushed off the ground and started
toward the building. After exchang.
ing words for some time Wyoming
refused to play and the large crowd
left the field disgusted, The game,
while it lasted was very good, and had
they finished it would no doubt have
been very interesting, but something al
ways turns up to rob the patrons of the
game from seeing a good exhibition.
They are trying to arrange another
game with Wyoming.

A Record Breaking Trip.
From Wilkes Barre 10 Philadelphia in
Three Hours and 33 Minutes.

A record-breaking run over the
Lehigh Valley ana the Reading Rail
roads was made Sunday by special
train, which the officials Of those
companies courteously rendered to
Charles Emory Smith and William M
Singerly, who had spoken at Sound
Money meeting in Wilkes Barre on
Saturday evening. Leaving that city
at 10 A. NJ, the train, which consist
ed of an engine and two cars, crossed
the mountains and rushed down the
valley of the Lehigh River to South
Bethlehem, a distance of 81 miles,
in just two hours and half. There
it was transferred to the tracks of the
North Penn branch of the Reading,
and was speeded over the 81 miles to
this city in just 63 minutes, reaching
here at 1888 P. M. AT times the
train reached speed of 76 miles an
hour. The time from Wilkes-B Barre
to Philadelphia, 8 hours and 80
minutes for I44 miles, is the best ever
made over this distance, which
abounds in heavy grades and sharp
curves

THE ELEOTION.

Tuesday was beautiful day and a
large vote was polled. The day was
passed quietly, until about eight
o'clock at night when the boys ap.
peared with drums, tin horns, pans,
rattles, and any old thing that wou Id
make a noise, and though no news
was received until much later, the
racket was kept up just the same.
The Bloomsburg Club received
news at their club house, and the
Industrial Club had a screen across
the street opposite their rooms on
Main Street, where the returns were
displayed. Everything seemed to
point ole way, and at one o'clock it
became SO apparent that Mckinley
had swept the country, that the
Republicans started out with the
band aAd a drum corps, and they
made things lively uutil four o'clock
in the morning. A bonfire was start
ed on Market Square, and fireworks
and red lights were burned all along
the line. 1t was the first time in the
lives of many Democrats that the
cneers of Republicans was music to
their ears. The vote in town shows
that quite a number OF the former
voted straight for Mckinley.

The Clothing Establishment Of j. M.
Gliding & Co.,, Closed by the
Sheriff.

A great deal of surprise was oc-
casioned Wednesday afternoon when
it was rumored that the we'll known
firm of ]. M. Gliding & Co., had
closed their doors. Judgments amoun,-
ing to nearly $Ia,ooo were entered
in the prothonotary's Office, and the
sheriff at once took possession of the
stock. The cause of the failure was
the tightness Of money, together with
the warm spell of weather and their
inability to realize on the large stock
which they carry, and when city firms
pushed them they had to succumb to
the inevitable. They hope to be able
10 fix matters up and open in few
days.

Here is the kind of obituary a
Georgia editor puts up for a man :
4" Poor Jim Brown slung his earthly
garments on a limb and swan the
river yesterday. He didn't stand
because the water was cold, but
plunged right in, rose smiling and
struck out for the other shore where
the angels were waiting for him with
a finer suit than he had ever worn in
his life. Jim was poor man, but he
had his subscription to his home
paper all paid and he got there in
good shape"

BASKET BALL.

Lovers of basket ball in Blooms
burg, will no doubt have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing fine game some
time this coming winter. The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania have or
ganized a team and are trying to ar
range game with the Normal School.
Last seasons Normal team was con-
sidered by every one to be one of the
strongest in the country, and as they
have the same material to select from
this season, the team should be
equally as good. We have no doubt
the University of Pennsylvania S
challenge will be accepted.

Canada will eat its Thanksgiving
dinner on tne same day with Uncle
Sam this year. The reason assigned
for the change is that the suspension
of business in the United States on
Thanksgiving day, has been found to
seriously affect the business interests
of Canada. This is very convincing
evidence Of the closeness OF the re-
lations existing between the two
nations.

not complete, as the open returns in
a number of districts did not give the
vote for Associate Judge, and in one
district the vote for Assembly. 1t
does not give the vote for Congress

the vote for Electors, and the vote
for Auditors ana Surveyor is also
omitted. The whole Democratic
