spoke so strongly against the granting
OF licenses at the election this month,
out with no practical results, and they
now have the prospect of the old num-
Der of saloons during the coming year.
Thomas Wilmarth, the second mem

section, has also taken strong stand
on the matter of granting licenses and

The license which was granted to

soon became famous as the Klondille."
has caused large proportion OF the
increased feeling against the action of
the board. as this place is located near
the Northbridge line and while the IL
cense money went into Grafton's town
treasury the results Of the traffic were
largely seen in the neighboring town,
where the bitterness against Grafton
rulers was such that a Northbridge
clergyman took the opportunity to Sc
Nerely score the board when he was
called 10 fill a Grafton pulpit on ex-
change.
Among those who have spoken strong
ly against the granting of licenses
there for another year in such undue
proportion are Fred A. Dodge, Rev.
David HOWE, DR.. e. II. Perry, B. f.
Kelly and James A. Young.
The other business OF the board at
the meeting was TO instruct the chair
man. Clarence II. Elliot, TO confer with
Supt. Akarman of the Consolidated
road regarding the dangers which have
recently been pointed out in the Spy
and which are the dread of every daily
passenger on the road. Wheeler bridge
is the place above all others which viii
have to be made safe by the company,
and that before many weeks, as a Pc
tirion from the patrons of the road Is
already in the air.
The trestle is not looked upon as be-
an unusually dangerous place if the
inspection Of the cars and tracks is
what il should be but where the road
crosses the Quinslgamond river be-
tween North Grafton and Mill
bury Junction there is an
unevenness caused by the settling
Of the spiIes or the giving away of the
rock foundation on which some of
them are placed, In places there is A
decidedly noticeable depression in the
rails and as there is no railing along
the side Of the trellis work at this
point its dangers will also be pointed
out by the chairman when he confers
with the superintendent of the road.
Hon. John Z. Mcclellan, when seen
by spy man today regarding the bill

MISS COOCH APPOINTED.

Tho trustees of the Haston public Ii
brary and reading room at meeting
tonight appointed Miss Helen Cooch of
Cambridge as librarian, to succeed Mrs
Emma Ludden, as The Spy exclusive
ly announced they would. Miss Cooch
will assume her new duties April l, and
will have charge of re-cataloguing all
the books in the library. At the pres
ent time there are a large number of
books not Catalogued, and there are
three different editions of the catalogue
so that need is felt of getting out an
entire new catalogue.
To obtain any one outside of the Ii
brarian to DO this work would have ne
cessitated mourning considerable ex-
pense and the trustees decided on this
account to appoint an out-of- town par
tN. Notice of her appointment will be
sent at once to Miss Cooch.
George r. Doane, station agent at the
Boston and Albany depot, will be the
candidate for auditor on the republican
ticket instead of William G.. Thompson,
as was announced at last nights eau
cus. MI Thompson's name was an
nounced by a curious error on the
ballot no name appeared as a canai-
date for auditor, but some of the voters
wrote the names themselves.
OF these ballots, one containing Mr..
Thompsons name caught the eyes of
the counter first. and wherever a name
was written, he took it for granted that
II was Mr. Thompson's without sharp
er perusal. Consequently. it was an
nounced that MIR. Thompson had re-
ccived 20 votes. but when the mistake
was discovered. Mr.. Doane asked for a
recount. which took place this after
noon. The recount showed that Doane
received IL votes, and Thompson T. So.
as the unexpected happened, there will
be a contest for this office, after all.
The members of the republican town
committee express themselves as well
pleased with last nights caucus. and
claim that a good showing was made.
The opposition, however, manifests
pleasure, also, claiming that the at

Il il beyond question that General

First Reef waa Good.

The first of these was corned beef
Its quality was good. The sal, in the
meat seasoned the other articles of food
and the men found il quite pala,able.
The second kind was canned roast beef
which was without flavor and taste and
would turn the stomachs of those who
ate it. 1t was stringy and tough and
without any qualities which would rem
der il tit article Of food. There was
but one way in which the men could
eat il, and that was by making il into
u stew. Fresh vegetables Were not
always ob;ainable. and stcws conld be
made only occasionally. When the
Rough Riders left Tampa. large
quantity of specially prepared beef
was placed aboard the transport on
which they embarked. This beef was
quarters and was stored in the forward
end Of the transport. 1t had been
prepared by some special process, un-
known to Colonel Roosevelt. but sup
posed to be with some form of solution.
The transport was ont from Tampa but
a few hours when this beef began to
smell. The stencil was SO great that
the men avoided the forward end of the
transport as much "a possible. The
meat could not be eaten and it was
thrown into the ocean. a fourth kind
Of beef was served to the Rough Riders

good quality and was brought to Cuba
in special steamers with refrigerating
facilities. Governor Roosevelts official
report was accompanied by reports of
the quartermater and surgeon and the
several captains.

as he feels that it is not designed to pre-
vent recurrence Of the conditions tina,
