THE ANIMAL TOWN RrTSTNFS

THE ANNUAL TOWN BUSINESS MEETING.
 The annual town businees meeting was be d On Monday last and there was good attendance as it was & pleasant day. The annual Tel orts were printed beforehand and when brought before the meeting were criticised by o. G. Beard quite at length and then were accepted. Mr Beard recommended abolishing the bigh school and sending the scholars ot that department to the Derby high school. He endeavored to sl ow that the instruction here was not capable for fit- ting ssthe scholars for college and cons i'd erahly slurred the teachers in thst department. He was ably answered by the school committee and others. One gentleman said he had two children now in college that were fitted in the high school here and quite number could be counted who had gone from our high school 10 college. The Ter orts show ex. penditu'es for roads $l6,409 50, for schoole $1l, ,035. .88, fer inter Get $3, 721 IS, town court $l, ,Ol9 S5, and other minnr objects in all amounting to $27 964 78. The Indebtedness of the town IS about 5000 UT net about $60 GOO or $2,0OO less tbat laet year, The app op! iation for schools was $11, 200. The tax laid was seven mills on the dollar, the same IS last year. The layout of the old Huntington road from the borough line we stward over the hill by the Shelton place was accepted. This was done as there did not appear any record of the former layout. The repairs of the high. ways wes left in the hands of the select men as usual. Outside talk previous to the meeting was that they were going to take the roads out of the hands of the selectmen and give them to commission to worB, but the vote on having the se- lectmen work the roads developed only one DOT derous no. The question on the ro4ds which John W. Perry wished the town to accept which were on his prem ises' was indefioitely postponed, and as the meeting was about 10 adjourn. one gen leman arose and spoke sgain st the town court and wished it abolished O. s'cc unt Of the expense. But the lneatiDg did not see fit to act on his sug- gestion and adjourned.
 Last Monday evening the republican caucus was ht Id in the Town hall. There was la ge attendance. Ernest l.. Sta ptes was nominated for judge of probate Frederick G. Perry for representative and Edward s. Hawley, Ernest L. Staples, William w. Wheeler, Frederick W. Cur tiss and Miles B. Perry for justices of the peace.

NEW YORK Sept. "A dispatch 70
the Herald from Manila says:
The attitude of the Philippine in-
.urgent leaders is daily becoming
more dangerous. So open is their OPP
position to the American autho. ltles
that the situation is strained and re-
Cancellation may be difficult.
What makes the situation more
troublesome is the undisFuised rivalry
bstveen the followers Of General Ag'
uiualdo. the self-proclaimed dictator
and General Pillar. who covets the
honor which Aguinaldo has acquired
General Pilo Pillar is in command Of
the insurgent troops stationed south
| of Manila. He uses them In way
that is most annoying to Agutpaldo
and at the scme time makes every efor1
to show his utter disregard to the
American officials. His forces con
tinue to patrol the city, encouraging
lawlessness in every direction.
Agui naldo's course is no less annoy
ing. He no longer attempts to con
ceal his hostility to the officials who
represent the United States, and yes
terday issued an order prohibiting
| his soldiers from entering the Ameri
| can lines. This course was probably
deemed necessary in order to prevent
them from becoming so well disposed
toward Americans as to distrov his
power by repudiating his leadership.

TWO STATEMENTS.

One From Governor Lord-One From a
Soldier.
Governor Lord, after visiting the
rPresidiO at San Francisco, to invseti.
gate the treatment given the $50 Or.
egon recruits, telegraphed to the sec.
retary of war that he found every.
thing satisfactory" The governors
telegram was dated Sept. 1lth.
A Dalles boy, who is one of the $50
recruits, sends rather a different re.
port. Under date of Sept. 4. he wrote
a letter to friend here, from which
the following extracts are taken.
"Our life since we have been here
has been one of continual disapoiut-
ment in every way. We had orders to
break camp for the boat twice. The
first time we had everything packed
up and ready to move by A. M, but
orders came from Washington to stop
everything. Later we got orders to
sail ON the Scandia. but the same thing
happened again.
1--WE have left Camp Merritt. and
moved to the Presidio. where it is like
q prison. This is the government
barracks, and we are now under the
Twenty Third U. s. regiment. Our
future prospects are not bright, as we
are like Hock of sheep without a
shepherd. Then there is SO much
sickness and death. Friday ten men
died in the division hospital, four of
whom were Oregon boys. / was in

Almost in the Same Place fhe

Another Misfortune to the D. p. &
A. N. Company.

While attempting to enter the locks
Tuesday, the Hattie Bell, steamer the
D. P. & A. N. Co. had leased for tenn
porary use, was caught in a swell and
forced against the Oregon shore al.
most at the same spot the Regulator
was wrecked some time since.
The steamer carried good number
of passengers and considerable freight,
but all on board were saved.
Capt. McNulty, an old river pilot
was at the wheel at the time of the &C
cident and was successful in beaching
the boat so that the Is passenger:
could get off safely, but the freight i:
all under water. However, there is 8
seow near the wreck, on which the
freight can be loaded and saved.
1t is feared the boat will be a totaI
wreck, as it is down so that the waite,
Is several feet deep on the lower deck
and the current is very swift, so thai
the hull is liable to be beaten to pieces
