SPENCER POLITICS.
Guild Bates Contest Is
Waxing Warm-MiSs
Kasky Buried.

Spencer, Aug. 19.-For whom will the
Spencer delegates to the republican
state convention be instructed to cast
their votes? VIII it be John l..
Bates, or will it gbe Gen. Curtis Guild,
Jr?
Up to within two weeks, it was
thought in Spencer that John L. Bates
was sure of the full support of the
Spencer republicans, but a week ago a
local paper the republican organ of
the town, came out strong for Gen. Cur
tbs Guild, to the surprise of every one.
In this weeks issue it says; There is
unmistakable evidence from all over
Worcester county, that the farmers are
almost unit for Gen. Curtis Guild for
lieutenant governor. The farmers
know a good thing when they see it,
and they are making no mistake in Sc
lecting Gen. Guild as their choice"
The Spy man called upon a promi-
nent republican in town today, who
said: THE way that the paper comes
out for Guild, already shows that it ex-
presses the opinion of a few and not OF
the majority of republicans in Spen-
Ger. AS l told you before, when you
interviewed me on the same subject
that while Guild may be a good soldier
and strict disciplinarian, he has not
the qualifications for lieutenant gov.
ernor that John L. Bates has.

A NATURAL ERROR.
Clinton lnebriate Thought School
House Was an Ice Station.

Clinton lnebriate Thought School
House Was an Ice Station.
Contractor H. H. Lowe of Clinton
caused the upper walls of the old school
house to be overthrow today, down 10
the ceiling above the first floor. Men
with batering rams, batter the brick
outwards, and they fell with crashing
and much dust.
The building stands one story high
tonight. The floor looks like a fiat
roof. A drunken individual stopped
there late this afternoon after the lab
orers had quit work He surveyed the
structure with a curious air of wonder
and suspicion. He walked all the way
around it, apparently unable to make
up his mind. Finally he halted ped
estrian, and said: SHAY, mister, what
vanish to know, is how, (hic) thes
old ice station got way over here.
His mistake was explained to him, but
the old school house in its dismantled
condition does look much like the
building that is to be the home of
the police department for as long as
Clinton shall be a town, perhaps.

MRS. BURKE's WRONGS.

The wrongs Of Mrs. Rose Burke of
Clinton, who keeps a boarding house
for metropolitan aborers at the old Car
vile place, were not righted, because
Mrs. Carville was unable to furnish the

gave list of names to Town Solicitor
E. A. Evans. Mr.. Evans turned the
list over to Chief Loren B. Bates. Mr..
Bates had the boys call upon Attorney
Evans, DR.: w. S. Plaskett assured
Mrs. Burke that she was in error. DR..
Plaskett happened to be passing Mrs.
Burke's barn when the damage of
which she complains was done, and
saw the boys who did 1t.

Mr.. BURGESS SPEAKS.
He Disllkes Certain Kinds of Criticism
Melted Out to Him.

Superintendent George W. Burgess of
Clinton resents being described as a
bunco steerer, as he was in the local
newspaper yesterday. This gentle
of the working head
of the Leominster and Clinton Street
Railway Company was conferred be-
cause some people who left town in
three cars for Leominster park were
put into two cars at South Lancaster.
Mr.. Burgess says that the two cars
would contain all the passengers COM
fortably. At least only a few persons
were standing when the cars reached
the park. He denies that ladies were
sitting on the floors of the cars with
their feet on the running board. Mr..
Burgess thinks that even a trolley road
is entitled to a fair statement of the
facts, and expresses his determination
to make the cars of his line always as
comfortable for passengers as posi-
