Stroudsburg, Sept. 14,-The bitter
fight against the regularly nominated
ticket by the Independent democrats
of this (Monroe) county took a rather
ludicTOus turn today. No one on the
regularly Democratic ticket is more
bitterly opposed by the independents
than eX-Prothonotary Walter s. Dutot,
In some unacountable manner rumor
gained currency i'm the West End Of
the county where the Independent
movement is the strongest that Dutot
is a candidate for Register and Record
er had died suddenly. The news of Du-
tots death put the leaders of the In
dependent movement in that section
in great CONSERVATION. 1t spread like
wild fire and several residents Of the
West End came to town today to have
the report verified. Almost the first
man they struck was Dutot himself

AGAIN the money market has taken

who have put much reliance ,1non tbe

Boston, Aug. 26.-Wheat opened shade
lower, Liverpool cables being Ad$sd
down from last night. Smaller weekly
clearances and fine weather prospects in
the northwest also had an effect on prices
Trade was mostly local and inclined Ia
repeat yesterday S tactics on the bear
side. Fine weather in Europe is given
as the cause for the apathetic cables es-
pecially on the continent. Small primary
receipts, further rain damage in the
northwest and one-half million bushels
taken for export held the market yes
terday, but latest northwest advices re-
port a change to more favorable weather
and the recent rains are believed to have
affected quality more than quantity. The
corrected crop estimate by Price Current
showing 525,000000 bushels for all wheat,
after recent damage reports, had an I'M
settling effect, but was partially offset
by export business, most of which. how
ever, was from the outports. Prime says:
We are now experiencing the first real
drouth of the season, from New York

The stock market was irregular and

GEN. WOOD DIsPLEAsED.
He Does Not Believe Veterans Should
Be Made Political Tools,

Gen. Charles w. Wood is displeased
with the action of the Union Veterans
Union at it's Des Moines convention
Thursday, when the name was changed
to THE Union Battlemen." The for
mer commander of the organization re-
CARDS it as the work of political shys-
ters, who hoped TO increase political in
huence by adopting the name, "The
Union Battlemen"
Gen, Wood said that the leaders in
Washington had sought for years to
use the organization for political pur-
poses, and that they have made them
selves obnoxious to the administrations
Gen. Wood believes that the continued
political efforts will ruin the oreaniza-
ton. The Union Veterans Union had a
membership of $4,000 voters when it's
name was changed, but, according to
Gen. Wood, the members are not going
to be influenced as a body by political
workers.

said: There is no truth in the report
whatever. No such offer has been
made If an offer Of this nature were
made, it would not be accepted. There
has been no satisfactory compromise
Offered thus far"
Nearly all the buying of Boston ana
Albany stock at the high prices OF the
past two days, has been by a floor bro
ker in Boston for a New York broker
age house that have a branch in this
city. 1t is generally believed in the
street that this stock has been pur-
chased by New York Central interests.
AS a result of the conference between
the protective committee and the di-
rectors, as proposed by Samuel Hoar,
Tuesday, it is believed that definite an
nouncement of the terms of a modified
lease will be made known soon after
the meeting of the protective committee

BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Fall Term Opens Tomorrow With a
Large Attendance.


The fall term of the Childs Business
college, 112 Front street, this city OPP
ems tomorrow, with the same large at
tendance that has always characte.iz-
ed the institution. There is little need to
speak of It's popularity. 1t stands Sc
cond to no other institution of it's jfind
in central Massachusetts, and the best
evidence of this truth is found among
the many graduates who are today
holding responsible positions in large
business houses of this city and, in
deed all over Worcester county.
Mrs. Eva NJ. Childs, the principal of
the college, states that nearly all the
graduates of the class of '99 have been
placed in good positions and that, with
the increased business prosperity, the
demand for good students is fast ex-
ceeding the supply. The Childs College
is strictly a business school, employing
only experienced teachers, and solid,
well-trIed methods of instruction. That
IS the secret of its success and the rea-
son that merchants call for Childs grad
yates for office assistants. The building

ments, such as elevator, electric lights,
steam heat, etc, and everything deslra-
BILE for the convenience comfort and
welfare of the students, and the princi
