CREATED EXCITEMENT.

II l.
Edward P. Bartlett Of Sterling has
created excitement by announcing him
self as in favor of f. H. Bates for rep
resentative. Mr.. Bates and Mr. Bart
lett We're at odds in the caucus, and Mr..
Bartlett has been opposed to him since
the caucus, until the difficulty was
patched up. A good story about the
Sterling caucus is being circulated
about town. 1t is that the Bartlett men
lost their chance of getting the nomi-
nation by not knowing the law. Bates
had six votes more than Bartlett, but
a third man named Chandler, had 10
votes, which left Bates without ma
jority, although he had plurality. Mr..
Bates was declared the nominee of the
caucus however. The law requires
that a majority of a caucus shall de-
clare for a candidate, in order to make
him nominee. Republicans kept the
story very close, as long as its publica-
ton could do damage. Now that it
makes no difference they are telling it.
Patrick H. Fadgen is training for his
race with William Marsh of Worcester.
Fadgen's friends are getting together
all the money they can raise in the
hope that Marsh's friends will have
some, too. Fadgen is in splendid shape
He is in better shape than he was
when he defeated Madden of Marlboro.
Clinton men made about $500 that trip.
Fadgen has run as fast as 1917 sec
onds. 1t is believed that he can run
in 10 fiat, but if he can, neither he nor
his hackers are saying anything about
it,

Clinton, Nov. 5.-The Bigelow Car
pet Company, whose mills are located
in this town, is engaged in closing a
transaction by which the Lowell car
pet mills and the Whittall mills of
Worcester will pass under the manage
ment of the Bigelow company.
The transaction involves property to
the value of about $4,000 900. 1t is rep
resented that there are no inflations of
stock or values but that the deal is
made on the actual value of each pro-
perty. The stock of the individual
concerns is to be called in and stock
in the new company will be issued in
place of it. The enterprise, it is be-
lieved, will be run as the Bigelow Car
pet Company.
c, f. Fairbanks of Boston is credited
with engineering the deal, He is trea-
surer of the Clinton Wire Cloth Com
pany, as well as acting head Of the
Bigelow Carpet Company. He repres-
ents some of the heaviest interests in
the New England states. None Of the
gentlemen connected with the Bigelow
Carpet Company here would talk about
the DEAL tonight, or even admit that
they knew of it.

seconds, or nearly quarter of a day
therefore each fourth centennial year
remains leap year, while the extra
day is dropped from the other three,
which preserves the balance nicely.
Thus the years 100, 1900 aud 1900
contain each 366 days, as other leap
years do. To determine whether any
given centennial year is leap year or
not. divide it by 400. It is not leap
year If remainder occurs.
This is according to the Gregorian
calendar, correction of the Julian
calendar, which latter provide for
the leap years, but not for this skip of
a leap year. Nearly all Christian ma
tions except Russia and Greece now
use that Gregorisn calendar, and there
is difference of about twelve days
between our time and that of the above
countries. At the time the Gregorian
calendar was adopted in England, 1852,
an error of eleven days had to be cor
rected. These days were dropped,
which accounts for our celebration of
Washington birthday upon February
%, although he was born on the 18th
by the old style of reckoning,
By the Gregorian calendar an error
is made of only one day in 5000 years.
1t has been proposed to remedy this by
allowing the year 1000 and its multi
pies, 5000, ETC., to remain common
years. THE, however, is too far in the
dim future to call for any Immediate
legislation or concern.-Exchang

POLICE COURT.
ALot of Petty Offenders.

Gregorio Soto appeared before the
recorder this morning, was found
guilty of disturbing the peace and is
now serving out a $500 fine.
Two Mexicans named Cermilo Mo
rsles and Martin Vega tried to settle q
dispute last night by the obsolete
method of fighting. They are each
paying their $500 fine by remaining in
Jail.
Two shots rang out on the cool
morning air between 5 and 6 O'Clock in
the neig ID borhood of the Orndorff. Of
fcer Schmidt was near by and found
that two negroes had got into some diff
ficulty and the pastry cook had taken
q couple of shots at the dish-washer.
The latter was fortunate in getting
away with q whole hide and the shoot
er was taken to city cell. The
charge entered against him was shoot
ing with intent to murder and Record
err Patterson ordered him transferred
to the county Jail.

THE YAQUI RISING.
A Thousand Regulars Are Now
Securing The Valley.

A Rermosilo dispatch says: A
Yaqui uprising started at Bacum reser-
walton on the twenty-frst under Chief
Manuel Buitemes. The Yaquis at
tackled the reservation guards, killing
several. After sackiug two villages
they fed to the mountains.
The chief of the Sonora military zone
wired the war department at Mexico.
The latter ordered General Lorenzo
Torres, at TORN, and Colonel Garcia
Hernandez at Cocorit to defense Bacum
and Vitsm. With three hundred cav
airy of the federal forces the pursuit
was taken up. Tabiate, the celebrated
Indian fighter of the last Yaqui war,
has joined the government forces.
The Indians were attacked and dis
persed the next day, but small bands
are ravaging the country.
A thousand regulars are now scour-
ing the entire Yaqui valley.
The rumOrs that Tabiate was killed
lacks confirmation. The government
made treaty of peace two years ago
with the Yaquis, after twenty years OF
trouble, but Indians are jealous of
their land rights.
The Mexican government is being
sent kilograms constantly and has
organized formidable defensive and
offensive measures in conjunction with
the state government of Sonora.

A GREEN BUNCO STEERER
Looked Like a Victim Instead OF An
Offender.

When the police court drag net was
emptied before the recorder last night
q solitary, innocent-looking fish rose up
and in hum bleness leaned against that
bar which cans those that swim in foul
water. The charge against him was
buncoing, and he said his name was
Walker. While admitting he was
guilty, he made an attempt to modify
the admission by saying that he didn't
do nothin' or this side of the river. l"
He had simply walked across the
bridge from this side in company with
the victim; what was done to the suck
err on the other side was not eold, be-
cause it was not asked.
The judges face was furrowed with
pity for the man was stood before him
the preenest steerer he had ever look
ed upon.
"You had better take heed right
now" he said to the follow kindly:
'sYou look like men who would be q
victim, rather than the bunco-steerer.
This will cost you just SOL, and don't
do it again.
Curley Sullivan, q gentleman who is
a thorough journeyman as a confidence
man and q mem Der of the union OF his
profession, says there are number OF
novices trying to follow this line in
town who do not even know the names
of their tools, and he is ashamed to be
known as belonging to the trade, be-
cause its legitimate members have to
stand the iRnominy brought upon it by
unframed hands.

PARTY OF PROSECUTORS.
Left This Morning For the Ydqui
Gold Country.

w. A. Lane and W. A. Mitchell, OF
Ell Paso; E. L. Jones, of Durango, Col
orado and j. B. johnson and son, OF
California, left this morning for the
Yaqui country, not to fight indians, but
to seek for gold.
The party will go via Cssas Grandes
where it will be joined by Frank Kin
ne of this city, who went ahead some
days ago to secure the pack animals,
etc.
The party is one of the best equip
ped that ever left the city. In the outfi,
is gold saving dry washer got up by
W. A. Lane which weighs only II
pounds and has q capacity of seven tons
per day.
Fireman Mitchell resigned his posi-
ton in the department to make the
trip. He was in the Yaqui country
prospecting two years ago and firmly
believes that plenty of hidden mineral
wealth abounds there. During his
previous visit he discovered q placer
claim in which nuggets some of them
worth SIS each were abundant. Being
without provisions and water he was
compelled to return to civilization, but
the present party will go direct to the
spot and work the claim.
The members of the party have NO
fear of Yaqui Indians. All are heavily
armed and confident that in event oil
an attack they would be able to de-
fend themselves against three times
their number.

Discovered By q Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too. by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutch es
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing of US bottle
of DR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night: and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.

WHY 1T ISN'T A LEAP YEAR.
An Old But Interesting Story is
Here Retold of Nineteen Hun


AS the nineteenth century draws to
q close, perhaps it may interest
young readers to know that the year
1900, which ends this remarkable CEN
fury, will itself be remarkable year
Those who live until that time will
witness peculiar chronological event
which has not occurred since 1900, and
will not occur agsin until 21OO. The
writer refers to the skip of leap year,
which will take place at that time.
The year 1896 was leap year, as
every body knows, but il may be that all
do not know that 1900 will not be one
With the exception of Jefferson, all
our preside nts have been elected upon
q leap year, but the presidential can
didates of 1900 will have one less day
to impress their claims upon the peo-
pie.
The true solar year, or length OF
time it takes the earth to make a
revolution around the sun, is 365 days,
five hours, thirty-eight minutes and
forty-six seconds, but we assume the
fraction to be six hours when we add
an extra day to everyl fourth year.
Thus we are counting forty-four min
utes ffty-six seconds too much at ev-
cry leap year.
In 100 years this amounts to IL hours
40 minutes and 20 seconds, or over
three-fourths of day.
By calling each centennial year
common year, too much would be
dropped by 5 hours Is minutes and 40
