Trotter's Opponent.


IdIlH6fS AuNOcdte,
State Superintendent of Public
Schools Trotter, was here on Thurs
day and addressed the Teachers insti-
tute. The State Superintendent
seems to keep his weather eye on In
stitute Conductor, Prof. Thomas Mil
Ter who is prospective rival for the
Republican nomination for the super
intendency next year. The present
incumbent is recorded as Trotter,
but he has not yet broken the record.
He has however begun training for all
gaits-learning TO lope first, then to
canter and by this time next year will
doubtless be on dead run. If Prof.
Miller sets the pace for the next race
it will likely be a running race, in
which Trotter will likely be dis
tanced.

THE MACKRY MILL.
Narrowly Escapes Destruction From
Fire

Friday evening the Mackey Mill
had close call. A day or two ago
Mr.. Graham was compelled to fire up
and run by steam as the water supply
was too short to furnish power. Fri
terday evening the extreme heat from
the fire IN the boiler house and the
sun on the outside set fire to the roof
and was rapidly crawling into the mill
when discovered. Some very prompt
and vigorous work was done or che
immense structure with all its valua-
BILE machinery would have been in
ruins. As it was the damage is slight
and is covered by insurance.

WANDERINGs OF A DIAMOND

An interesting story is going the
rounds of the jewelry trade relative to
the wanderings of 800 diamond. It
seems that few days ago the jewel
was placed in a small box, marked
Value $780," and given to a bow to
take 10 an express office, after first
mailing some letters III the mail box in
the lower hall of the building. The
boy was given cent with which to
pay the revenue tax, and when the
boy returned with the penny and was
asked about the diamond, he decided
that he must have dropped the box
with the letters in the mail box. and
then the trouble began. One man was
sent to watch the collection of the mail
in the lower hail. and another man
was sent to the post Office to explain
the situation and to obtain the help Of
me post once officials in the recovery
or the missing box. No trace of the
little package could be found. either
IN the mail box or at the post office.
and 1T is said that many of the postal
clerks went home that night feeling
blue, to say the least The box was
addressed to a business firm In Provi-
dence. and the next morning a letter
carrier appeared before this man and
said: ''
This is a funny thing, Here's soma
thing marked Value $780, and there's
no stamp on it except one for postage
due"
