Last Nights Caucus
Much Discussed.
THE FULL TICKET.
Cemetery Corporation Elect
Board Of Officers.

Spencer, March 25.-The people were
stirred up more than ever after the re-
suits of the no-license caucus were
heard. The citizens caucus was warm
but in the opinion of the people it
could not be compared with the no-li-
.cense one.
After last evenings work the choice
of selectmen between George H. Ra-
mer and Thomas j. Condor seems to
be more doubtful than ever, though
each party is claiming election by ov-
er 200 votes.
To explain why the fifth man was
not chosen, DR.. f. w. Norwood stated
that both men, Kramer and Condor,
were strict no-license men and that he
thought that it would not be justice
in placing one of the men on the ticket
and leaving the other off. But the peo-
t. pie as whole are angry that the va
cancy was not filled with one of the
candidates. saying there were Is men
on the committee appointed and that
a decisive vote could be obtained.
Some of the prominent men of town
who were supposed to be neutral in the
campaign showed their colors at the
RSCPAS
who have been in suspense as to
what party they belonged to.
The candidates whose names will be
placed on the ballot election day:
Selectmen, Charles p Barton, Thomas
j. Condor, Albert w. Curtis, Louis N.
Hamelin. George H. Kramer and Her
bert H. Capen
For assessors, Henry W. Bemis, Ed
ward NJ. Bliss, Israel H. Farnham,
Frank X. LaVigueur, Henry H. Kings
bury and z. Harris Rowland.
For overseers Of the poor, Abraham
Capen. Israel II. Farnham, Marc Fon-
taine Hugh Kelly and E. j. Starr.
For school committee, Lewis 1.
Prouty and Miss Elida Capen.
For constables, Emery Arbour, Ed
ward Bowen, George L. Billiard, Alfred
r. Cole, Henry P. Draper, George
Dunn, Adelard Fleury, John W. Gale,
Nazaire Gaudette, William H. Hath
away. George F. McKenna, John NJ,
Newton, Toussaint Richard, James J.
Aldrich and Edward H. Bryant.
The hardest contest of the election
will be in eIecting the selectmen and
constables.
The Pine Grove cemetery corporation
held a meeting this forenoon to elect
officers for the following year and to
act upon the articles heretofore printed
in The Spy.
The II men who were present at the
meeting decided to grant more land for

diers. About $500 remain in the treas
ury.

he did also in all the Kaffir wars the
Beers in lager received the assault of
numbers Of brave but unarmed Kafflrs,
whom they beat off with but little loss
of life to themselves, with their roers,

ception of the Weenen massacre by the
Zulus, which was not a fight, they never
lost any great number, and then the
victims for the most part were women
and children. The only occasion when
they met the English soldiers in the

VALE. o LOBSTER.

We've gazed with resignation on the pass
ing of the aux,
Nor care continental for the legendary
And the dodo and the bison and the or
nith-o-ryhnchus
May go, and yet the passing brings no
shade of woe to us.
We entertain no sorrow that the mega
therium
Forever, and forever is departed, dead and
dumb;
But a woe that hovers DER us brings a
keen and bitter pain,
AS we weep to see the lobster vanish off
the coast of Maine.
o, dear crustacean dainty of the dodge
tune my lutte in minor in a thernody for
thee.
You've been the nations martyr, and
twas wrong to treat you so,
And you may not think we love you; yet
we hate to see you 60
We've given you the blazes and hot-pot-
ted you, and yet
We've loved you better martyred than
when living now you bet
You have no ears to listen, so, alas! we
can't explain
The sorrow that you bring us as you
leave the coast of Maine.
Do you fail to mark our feelings as we
bitterly deplore
the shore?
All, what's the use of living if you also
can't survive
Until you die to furnish US the joy of one
"broied liYe?''
And what can eer supplant you as cold
dish on the side?
Or what assuage our longings when to
salads you're denied?
Or what can furnish thunder TO the leg
islative brain
When ruthless Fate has swept you from
the rocky coast of Maine?
l see. and sigh in seeing, in some distant
future age
Your vanishing shell reposing under glass
upon a stage,
The while some pundit lectures on the
curios of the past,
And dainty ladies shudder as they gaze
on you aghast.
And all the folks that listen will wonder
vaguely at
The fact that ONCE lived heather who
could cat a thing like that.
All, that's the fate you're facing-but la
meuts are all in vain
Tell the dodo that you saw us when you
lived down here in Maine.
