The Work of the Y. M. c. A.

The first annual meeting of the Young
Mems Christian association of this village
was held Monday evening. Reports were
given by all the officers and committees,
showing the first year as being successful
beyond the expectations of almost any one.
The coming year the work will be extended
largely. All bills for the past year are paid
and about 5000 in the treasury. The rooms
are well furnished and include reading
room, parlors, gymnasium, educational
rooms and rooms of the ladies' auxiliary.
The educational work of the past year is to
be extended somewhat, but course of lee
lures will not be sustained this season as
has been expected, there being seemingly
insurmountable obstacles in the way. Next
Sunday is TO be observed as anniversary
Sunday by the organization, a number of
prominent speakers having been engaged.
The meetings are to be held in Union hall.
The directors have decided to employ an
evangelist to work here with the young
men from October to the 9th inclusive.

The steady consumption and expectation
of tobacco is likely to soon increase the de-
mand on the old crops held by growers.
The past favorable season has produced a
large growth that is believed to be of extra
quality. The next Congress is expected to
give important help through revision of
the tariff, but the markets are so loaded
with imported and domestic goods and
products Of all kinds that a boom in any
special line can hardly be predicted.

A Fire This Morning.

A fire was discovered this friday morn
ing at 4:30 in the old Green street mill of
the Fall Mountain Paper company at the
north end of the village. The building
has been used for storage the past ten
years, since the machinery for cutting up
logs was moved under the hill. 1t was
filled principally with paper clippings in
bales, chemicals and old machinery. The
fire started among the bales in the north
east corner and had gained good Roadway
when discovered by Jack Sullivan, who
rung an alarm from box Fl. The fire was
difficult to fight owing to the nature of
the contents, and the recall was not
sounded for several hours. The building
was of little value and only part of it
was burned. The loss on the stock from
fire and water is $1,000 to $500.

F.. NJ. GiIberts New BOathOuse, Steam
err and Motor.

F. M. Gilbert of Westminster has built
a new boathouse near the head of the
canal, just north of the other two boat
houses that have been there the past two
or three years. 1t is Large enough to &C
commodate his new steamer, which was
moved up here Monday, and proves to be
the best of anything which has ever been
on the river here. 1t is 81 feet long and
nicely finished throughout. 1t is propelled
by one of Mr.. Gilbert's gasoline motors of
IL 1-2 horse power, and has already at
tanned speed of half a mile in less than
three minutes. The motor which he used
last year, in his old boat, did not prove en-
tirely satisfactory, not being easy to gov
ern. 1t is understood he has overcome all
difficulties in it now, and has an engine
for this, or any other purpose, which is as
nearly perfect in its results as has been
claimed by the most sanguine. The logs
in the boom here are so stored as not to
obstruct the passage of steamers up the
river, and boating is popular as an amuse-
ment again. The drawing out of the stock
of logs by the Fall Mountain company has
been begun and will not be completed
much before the river closes.

Oklahoma, in the daily papers of yesterday
caused great surprise throughout this sec
ton; "John Daniels, the wealthiest man
in Guthrie, committed suicide last night,
shooting himself through the heart in the
presence of his wife. He is supposed to
have lost his reason through worry over
the serious illness of members of his fam
lily. The family came from Lincoln, Neb.,
four years ago." Mr.. Daniels is member
of well-known Grafton family, and his
sisters still live in that town. His wife
was a Miss Staples of Chester. A telegram
has been sent to Guthrie asking for par
ticulars, but no reply has been received.
