NE AR Y NOCI,

A skeleton was found Saturday on
the New Hampshire side of the Con
necticut six miles below Brattleboro.
1t is believed to be that of Fitzger-
aid, who with Ned Alexander, was
drowned during the high water in
April 1895. The trousers and shoes
and stockings clung to the skeleton
and these and the height will be the
only grounds for Identification. Mrs.
Alexander says it is not her son.

The interest of the evening center
ed largely around the Silver Medal

rendered and well received.
AS to the manner in which the
Medal contestants acquitted them
selves words of praise cannot be ex.
agerated. And this applies to every
one. Indeed we felt thankful that
we were not upon the judges bench
for we would hardly have known
where to place the Medal. Rev.
Mr.. Norton of Newfane arose, at
the conclusion of the contest, and ell
oquently spoke words of praise. He
said that were he citizGn of S. Lon

young people.
The contest was decided by vote
of the members of the convention.
Thirty-seven votes were cast and of
these Miss Leone Clayton had twenty
and was awarded the medal. Miss

eleven.
Next on the programme was the
sold Sergeant's Story" This was
finely rendered by Miss Music Land

lighted the audience with a recitation
of "fhe Sailors Yarn"

WHO THE "EEELERs, ARE.

The people of Salt Lake suddenly
find themselves divided by the Tribune
and Deseret News into two classes
non-partisan and ''heelers." In the
former class are included the self-ap-
pointed committee of %, the candidates
for Office named by the committee and
all those who believe the people are
not competent to select those whom
they desire TO serve them as public of
fcers.
The "heelers' are all those citizens
who believe in the time honored Amer
lean political methods; who believe that
in a republic where party government
exists and where it has been subjected
to every test and has never been found
wanting, party government is still the
proper instrument for administering
municipal affairs.
The "heelers," according to the Tri-
bune and the News, are the thousands
of American citizens who attended the
Democratic and Republican primaries
and elected delegates to conventions to
nominate candidates for city offices.
The "heeIers." according to these pa
pers. are the adherents of the Demo
cratic, the Republican and Popunst
parties, the bone and sinew. the
mothers and fathers Of the city, in fact
the common people, that people which
fear God and love their country. These
are the "heelers.' They are the many
while the non-partisans are the few.
The '-heelers" are bound together by a
common brotherhood while the non-par-
tisans are bound together by a common
dfstrust of the common people. Let the
organs of the corporations. let the or
gans which champion such un-Aner-
lean ways in politics, continue to speak
of the people who are opposed to their
scheme as 'heeIers." but the people will
pursue the even tenor of their way I'M

TALES OF TIE DAY.
He Was Not a Prophet.

The man with the ford face and the
bald head grew more and more uneasy
as he sat at the restaurant table. He
tried 10 read a newspaper, says the Free
Press. but every n3w and then would
drop It, adjust his glasses and glare up
and down u1e room to find the waiter to
whom ne had given his order. At last
ne managed TO detain him. at the risk of
being soalded by the soup he carried. and
INCURRED:
How about that dinner 1 ordered?"
ut will be here Immediately, sir" was
the answer.
The guest tried to read his newspaper
once more, but as time passed, his IN
easinesS increased until he was glarIng
up and down the room as fercely as
ever. He found his waiter again. and
the same conversation was repeated.
After TWO or three more similar attempts
he arose and went over TO another waiter.
who was gracefully leaning against a
pillar.
Look here said the guest, 81 want TO
know something"
Yes" responded the waiter.
What 1 want to know is this: Am l
ever going to get any dinner, and if do
get it, when will it be?"
The languid young man looked at him
and replied:
Excuse me. I'm afraid you have made
a mistake. L am only a waiter; not a
