NORTHFIELD, MASS.
sudden Death of George H. stebbln


The community was very much shocked
on Friday of last week by the sudden death
from apoplexy of George Robinson Steb-
bins, one of Northfeld's most respected
citizens and almost a lifelong resident.
He had been in usual health during the
day and was going from the post-oftice to
his home with the mail when he felt lit
tie dizzy, went up on nearby piazza and
almost Immediately died. 1t is supposed
that he had an attack of apopleXy. The
deceased WAS born in Vernon, May "a,
1920. While quite young he moved to
Mortified. In 1852 he married Arethusa,
daughter of Robert Kendall, who died many
years ago. He was owner and manager of
Stebbins's ferry for 40 years and during this
time was always at his post, doing the
work in the most careful and faithful man
ner. He sold the ferry in 1888 and with
his daughter moved to Mortified street,
where he has since lived. Since his re-
lease from business he has travelled extern
sively through the United States and Can
ada, visiting many points of interest. AS
a young man he was a good musician, be-
ing leader of the local band. During the
famous campaigns of 1910, when William
Henry Harrison was elected president, he
was one of the players for the company
from Brattleboro which marched to STRAIT
ton to hear Daniel Webster. The bugle
he played on this occasion he presented to
the p. V. NJ. A. and it is now in the Me-
mortal hall in Deerfeld. Mr.. Stebbins was
widely known in this section and will be
remembered as a genial, obliging, law-abid-
ing citizen. He will be much missed here
in the town. His funeral was largely at
tended at his late residence Sunday after
noon, Rev. G. F. Piper officiating. His
only child, Mrs. Eva Calender, with whom
he lived, survives him.

Speaking of
Quality

The difference in cost between using
Worcester Sat-the standard for dary-and the
very cheapest is about one cent in every ffy bouas
of butter made. The chance of loss in expert
mentinS with the cheap salt would be from fifty
cents to one dollar, and possibly more. Is the
saving ~ of one cent with chance of one dollar
loss wise speculation? We leave the answer
with the dairyman, believing he will decide to use
the best dairy salt known to the civilized world
today - Worcester.

 TUsKAHoMA, I. T., Oct. 6.-The trouble which has been brewing for some months between the fullbloods and squawmen in the Choctaw nation has broken out more violently tn. ! ever, and unless indications fail, there will be serious bloodshed. The full. bloods, who obtained control of the council, passed laws cutting the seuaw. men off from their landed property and made provision for evicting them. When the first attempt at eviction was made a few weeks ago, there was a clash in the streets of this city, in which several squawmen were killed and many on both sides more or less injured. Then comparative quiet reigned for a time, but when an attempt was made to eviet squawmen was renewed last week trouble broke cut again. There have been 3 number of conflicts during the past few days and an unknown number on both sides have been hurt, while it is reported that several wore killed. Both sides have been gather ing their forces during the last week and are preparing for pitched battle, which Is e&hected at any time.
 Citizens of the town have appealed to to the Federal authorities, troops will be sent at once.

Australia Makes Offers For Fast CycIers
 to Visit That Country.
 NEW YORK, Oct 6.-The Word this morning says that promoters of cycle racing in Australia have offered Michael, the Welsh midget, very tidy" guar. antee, as he puts 1t, to visit the colonies this winter, and Tom Eek, manager for the speedy foreigner, has practically made up his mind to take the trip. The antlpodes want to see John S. Johnson too. So Eek has eabled proposition to take his whole show over the Pacific ocean, including all the pacemakers. Eddie Bald is anxious to go along, and Eck's wonderful stories of wealth that may be quickly acquired in Australia may tempt several others in Bald's class.
 If the grandfather" of cycleracing. as Eek is called, finds the Australians agreeable to his terms, he will start early in January. His engagements ill this country will not permit of an earlier departure.
 Michael and Johnson will try for rec ords at the big six days race at Madison Square Garden late in January.
 Australians are sports from the word go, 7" said Eek to Chicagoan the other day. "They give bigger purses for cycling than we do, and whenever there is a race worth seeing you don't find 5000 or COCO persons on hand. Forty thousand persons is not an unusual number; Australia's the place for fast oycleriders. They can get rich in year ]"
 Eek did not offer an opinion as to how the managers would fare, but it goes without saying that they do not lose of ten if they thoroughly understand the businesS

 PEORIA, Ills, Oct. 6.-J. R. T. Aus ton, grand secretary and treasurer of the Order of Railway Photographers, TO- ceived dispatch from Montreal show ing that the tieup on the Canadian Pa cific was complete and nothing moving except few passengertrains.
 Saturday night the dispatchers at Smiths Falls, the only ones who re 1nained at work, and who had charge of 338 miles of the road, went out. Teleg- raphers, Austin's dispatch says, will stand firm, and seem to have the sym pathy of the public all along the line of the Canadian Pacific The strikers are sanguine of success all over the system.
 It is reported the road is losing $75,- 900 per day, and that cattle are starving III cars and that goods from China and Japan are lying at Vancouver island awaiting shipment. The situation for the Canadian Pacific is pronounced very critical, owi ng to the fact that naviga- ton closes in about 30 days, and the great crops of the northwest remain un- moved.
 Advices received from New York, Chicago an6 other cities cites that com morcial and other telegraphers refused to go to Canada and work in the places of the strikers.
