Sonsa.s Band Still Absorbing the Best Artists

Sousa is the most fertile of men in origi-
mating and opening up resources TOR max
ing his concerts more and more attractive
and his band better and better, if such a
thing were possible. Such demands are
made upon him for the recent season by his
American tour, his European tour, May to
that Sousa has been adding to
the band and gradually moulding into ii
Fome of the most famous performers in this
country in addition TO those who have he'd
places in the organization for years. Sousa

artistic excellence of all countries, and bis
band TODAY surpasses itself at any former
period. This is conceded by almost every
brittle who has written an opinion upon the

pand will be at its best when it appears a,

"reminiscences Of Grafton.

the line from Franklin, VT, and stopped
off as planned for two Sundays in Graf.

The late DR.. Joseph Freeman had been
to see me during my summer vacation and
told me about the church in Grafton, its
fine congregation, good parsonage, gener.
Gus people, etc. and, as l afterwards
learned, he did not 'stretch" the truth.
reached the Falls on the noon train and
that most courteous of stage drivers, R.W
Perham, of Cambridgeport. said he usually
left for Grafton and Townshend about
noon, but as it was very stormy day, al
most blizzard, and Saturday he wanted
to wait for the northern trains, stalled
somewhere in the snow. As l was his only
passenger told him to wait, as | should
want him to do if had been on one OF
those stalled trains. Leaving the Falls
after dark we wound our way among the
hills to Grafton, where / found tempo

it meant Boston.
Deacon Sherwin was man of the old

Rev. T. Dewitt Talnage, undoubtedly
the greatest living divine, occupies in the
hearts and minds of the people a position
of pre-eminent esteem and regard. No
other preacher is so widely known, no
other clergyman is SO distinguished
throughout the world. y great orator and
writer, lis sermons have the widest dis
semination, until there is scarcely family
where his name and works are not known.
When such a man, a recognized leader
and teacher of the people, testifies by his
written testimonial that DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy has helped
him and that he recommends its use for
inauguration after oyer-work, to restore
the strength, energy, nerve force and
vitality of the system, when for any
reason they are lost, weakened or i'm
paired, those who are sick and suffering,
who are weak, nervous, without strength
energy and ambition, who are diseoura geo
and dis1eurteIIed by repeated fail ires to br
cured, in fact all who have need of {
strengthening and health restoring med
icine, can take renewed hope from the
words of this great preacher, that DR.
Greene's Nervura is the one remedy
among all others to give them back ths
health and strength they have lost.

The Governorshlp.

We have seen some articles on one OF
two OF our exchanges on the question Of
the residence of General j. G. McCul-
ough, whose name has been mentioned as
= candidate for governor, in which it i,
asserted he is resident of New York
We believe in fair play and have taken
pains to inform ourselves as to the facts
relating to the residence of General Nc
Cullough.
He came from California to North Ben
pington quarter of century ago and
has made his home there ever since. He
bas voted and paid his poll tax and ell
btber taxes there the same as any other
citizen eff the town. He married his wife
ht her home in North Bennington and his
children we're born there. He has large
business and property interests in the town,
county and state, second to those of no
bther resident of the county. The town
Pf Bennington has repeatedly made him
per delegate to county and state convpn-
ions and he has been chairma, of each.
he state has made him her delegate to
NO NATIONAL conventions. He las always
been firm adherent to the principles Of
he republican party and has given freely
bis time and means for uphtlding and
Extending its doctrines in the stare.
He was largely instrumental IN procur-
ing the donation of the Soldiers Home TO
he State of Vermont and was one of the
donors.
1t is true he was born in Delaware. and
it is also true that OF the A governors

The SaxtOus River Plan.

Speaking of the unique method of set
ting the claims of rival candidates tor the
posto flee in Saxtons River, the Burlington
Free Press says:
This plan, which embodies all the ad-
vantages of the Australian ballot is I'M
doubtedly as fair a method OF determining
post flee contests as could be devised, so
far as the rival claimants are concerned.
On the other hand it must prove accept
able to the members Of the states dele
cation in congress; for they are relieved
of the responsibility of settling the claims
Of rival candidates and thus they avoid
making enemies. In short the patrons of
the office who belong to the party in
power simply settle the matter among
themselves, and thus enjoy home rule.

with valuations involved and the amount
of business transacted. Relative to the
bonds above mentioned, it should also
be said that they were sold at dis
count of III per cent, bearing per
cent interest, and were guaranteed by
II per cent of the customs receipts. In
addition to the subsidies granted the
corporate and individual interests so ia
vored have their federal taxes remitted
for the term of years covered by their
concessions.

Hustler Philosophy.

The editor of the Reading Hustler Ia
something of philosopher, as witness
his weekly column of aphorisms of which
we give few samples below:
WE'VE HEARD
That angel-food is the proper diet for
those who dwell In air castles.
That bright children don't develop
into bright men, some develop into
women.
That uneasy lies the head that wears
no hair In fly time.
In the eyes of his dog.
That a treat of tar and feathers lie
enough to make a man fly.
That the J tile green apple Is always
ripe enough for mischief.
That the man who hesitates Is lost, but
the woman who hesitates is won.

the story as told to the scribe of this

Mr.. Loxton lives mile west and
about three fourths of a mile north OF
Hagaman postotfice In Amboy. On
Sunday, July Gath, he boarded the train
at Montpelier, O., over the Wabash
road for Chicago. He arrived there In
due time and all went we'll during the
day, but at evening time his troubles
| commenced. While lounging near the
depot In Chicago waiting for the train
TO pull out, he was grabbed by two
negro men from behind and at the
same time two others appeared In front
OF him, one of which grabbed him by
the throat and the other man showed a
revolver In his face and he was told to
keep quiet or he would have his brains
blown out. Mr.. LIS arms were pinioned

lie reported to the police what had
happened to him and search was at once
instituted for the guilty parties. He re-
mained until morning and was urged to
remain longer, but being of a timid
nature and not having seen much of the
world he made straightway for home by
Foot 81 Walkers line. Monday and
Tuesday no tried to put as much
distance between himself and Chi
cago as possible and made 100 miles In
two days. 1t took him from Wednesday
morning until Friday night to make the
rest OF the distance home, where he ar
rived almost exhausted and completely |
prostrated for couple OF days. Mr.. |
Loxton has had an experience he will |
not forget. He slept In the fields nights;
one rainy night he took refuge under |
wheat shocks and another night he was |
washed away from a big log which he
had gone to slumber by. He lived mostly |
on wild berries by the way side being
afraid he would be taken for a tramp II |
