Hobson Tries to Explain His Vote for a
Democrat.
Great Falls, March 2s--Attempts are
being made ITO harmonic the republican
party in Fergus county. The sad loss
OF Judge w. T. Mcfarland, who was
recently taken to the insane asylum,
may assist in some degree the Hobson-
Long contingent, but it is evident that
there will still remain a strong opposi-
tion. OF the situation the Democrat
this week says:
Last Sunday State Senator Hobson
returned to Lewistown and was given a
cordial greeting by many of his friends
here. When the senator first arrived a
number of republican politicians took to
cover. but one by one they emerged
from their hiding places and with fear
and trembling slipped around and i'm
plored a nod of recognition from the
man they have been SO persistently
abusing. The senator received Them all
pleasantly and the occasion turned out
to be very pleasant one after all.
Some of those who had vowed never to
again recognize the colonel were found
falling over themselves in their frantic
efforts to grasp the gentleman's hand.
This has terminated just as we told
you it would. The gang which done so
much clustering around proved to be
cutters of the rankest kind and are
now doing all in their power to regain
their standing with the senator.
Last Monday night, in response to
an invitation from Senator Hobson, a
secret meeting was held in the private
office of the Bank of Fergus county
Quite a number of prominent repub-
!icans were invited. but only four re-
sponded. The senator gave an explain
alton of his course in voting for a
democrat for United States senator
but parties who were present state that
this was most unsatisfactory: some be-
came SO tired and fatigued that they
left before the completion of the ex-
PLANTATION. 1t was a rather dry affair."
the senator forgetting to produce even
a few bottles of Mumms Extra Dry,
and the absence of, any stimulant is
probably what caused the disgusted
ones to unceremoniously depart. The
colonel should not have committed this
oversight, for he certainly could not
ask anyone to go through the ordeal of
listening to that explanation without
imhibing at least reasonable quantity
of stimulants. Another meeting will be
held in the near future and Hobsons
fate will then be decided. 1t is looking
squally for him now and he will proba-
bly, be forced out of the presidency of
the bank whether he wishes to retire or
not This would be too bad, but it's not
our funeral and they have our permis-
sion to fight 'er to a finish. Sic EN-
Tige, sick 'em bear"

New Form of Postal Money Order.

The postoffice department has adopted
new form of domestic money order which
will be introduced gradually, or as sup
plies of the old form become exhausted,
at the various postofiices throughout the
country, after the 4th of September.
The new form is somewhat smaller
than the order now in use. Its dimen-
sions are about those OF the ordinary
bank draft. 1t has two adjuncts-the
advice, or notification to be sent by the
issuing to the paying postmaster, is a
reproduction of the order through the
use of carbonized paper 1.-THE manifold
process) and a receipt for the amount, to
be furnished by the issuing postmaster
to the remitter. On the back of the order
a separate space has been provided for
the stamps of banks through which it
may be passed for collection.
In color the order is blue, having a
light blue ground, with fine, closely
interlaced tinted lines of geometrical
lathe work OF darker shade. 1t is
expected that on or about January
next the fee charged for orders will b.
materially reduced.

Wellesley Benefit.
"All hail to the College Beautiful,
All hail to the Wellesley blue

"All hail to the College Beautiful,
All hail to the Wellesley blue"
is the sentiment which will pervade the
entertainment given Thursday evening OF
this week in the Academy hall to swell
Vermont's contribution to the Wellesley
College Endowment Fund.
1t is expected that Miss Ada L. How
ard, the first president of Wellesley, will
be present. Everyone will be most
cordially welcomed and is earnestly asked
to come to help in this widespread move
ment of removing the debt from Welles-
ley.
After social hour in which views of
the college, candy made by Wellesley re-
ceipts, copies of the receipts in decorated
covers, and ice cream will be sold, there
will be an entertainment consisting Of
college stories as told by Miss Mabel A.
Carpenter and illustrated by tableaux,
college songs, and the inimitable "yell."
The admission will be fifteen cents
Those who have known Wellesley
slightly and from an outside standpoint
have been under the impression that she
has been amply provided for and have
turned their gifts in other directions in
ignorance of her debt. Within short
time however, generous gifts have pro-
vided new chapel two new domitorles,
and an observatory, yet the old debt re-
mains.
The history of the attempt Of the
Alumna and former students to raise the
amount OF indebtedness, 500, 1875 60 and
a permanent endowment fund OF hun
bred thousand dollars is short but strlk-
ing. A general appeal was made at COM
mencement time 1898 The report comes
to us this week that the total amount
already given or pledged is approximate
" $63,646.S5. At this time Vermont's
gift is about 1926.
On Oct. 3 the new president Wellesley,
Miss Caroline Hazard, is to be inaugu-
rated. 1t is a wish near the hearts OF all
former students that at that time Welles-
lev may at least bel free from debt.
Will you not aid in this great effort 2

Horse Gossip.

Rain seriously interfered with the
Stanstead races last Friday, but H, E.
Moore's Corbett won the first heat In
the 2.22 class before the storm and low
cred his record from 2211a to 220A
He was an easy winner in the other two
heats on drenched track and the time
of the second and third heats was 80
and 2.35 respectively. 1t was an off day
for Mr.. Harrimans Rex, 2.2412, and he
was distanced in fast field of horses.
Another feature OF the racing was the
lowering OF the track record by E. Z.
Knott to 2.15A. This horse is handled
by Homer E. Brewster and will be seen
at the Caledonia county fair next month.
This is the week for the Sheldon fair
and the st. Johnsbury horses in the races
are Corbett, Rex, Lady Pinewood, North
Star, and Susan. In this list are some
fast horses and sure winners.
Charles B. Ballard OF White River
Junction, who died on August IL, from
the effects of a paralytic shock, was wei
known in St. Johnsbury as his horses had
been at our county fair for the last 25
years. He was the owner of Snowflake
who used to be familiar winner on tn,
track in the '70s and his string of fast
horses in later years included Factory

Travels In a LocOmobile.

William E. Hicks of Lowell, Mass, is
visiting his uncle, James P. Hicks, and is
travelling through New England in a
locomobile. AS this was the first APP
pearance in St. Johnsbury of this kind Of
horseless carriage it attracted much
attention on all sides. The motive power
is furnished by an engine and boiler
underneath the seat of the carriage and
the fuel is gasolene. This makes the car
riage different from an automobile which
obtains its motive power from electricity.
Mr.. Hickscame from Boston to Littleton
in 1S hours and on country roads
averages about 10 miles an hour. The
horseless carriage is soon to supersede
horses in many ways and after the first
cost the expense of running them is a
mere trihe. The cost of a locomoble like
Mr.. Hicks is $3.50 and the firm that
make them have all the orders they car
fill for two wears ahead.

A sad accident occurred here last Mon
day afternoon. Walter Robbins had
drawn load of hay to his fathers barn
and having unloaded it and turned his

The horses became frightened and ran
up the street. Mrs. George Wheeler and
Mrs. Schofeld of Lyndonville were just
ahead Of the runaway team and when
they heard it coming drove into Mrs.
Shorey's yard to get out of the way.
The other team followed them and col
lided with their carriage, smashing it up
badly. Mrs. Wheeler was badly kicked
about the face and Mrs. Schofeld was
somewhat injured by the wheels of the
wagon. They were both taken into
Mrs. Shorey's and cared for. Mrs. Scho-
field was able to be taken home that
evening, but Mrs. Wheeler remains here.
One of Mr.. Robbins horses was hurt so
that it is not expected to live.
