New Diphtheria Case
. Reported In Town.
WILL NOT SPREAD.
Caucus Aftermath and Elec-
ton Prospects.

North Brookfield, March 24.-Another
case of diphtheria has broken out in
the household of George. Bryant. in the
eastern part of the town. This time
the victim is George X Nicklin, who
was employed by Mr., Bryant as farm
hand. But few weeks ago one of the
members of the family succumbed to
this dread disease, and it is supposed
that it was from her case Nickin
caught the germs of the disease.
Nicklin is IS years of age. and has
been in the employ of the Bryant fam
lily for some time. He is being at
tended by Dr.. George r. Spooner, who
said today that the case is a serious
one. Diphtheria has had fearful run
in North Brookfield this winter, but
owing to the efforts of physicians and
health board, comparatively few of
the cases have proved fatal. As the
Bryant house is a considerable dis
lance removed from any other, there is
practically no danger that the disease
will spread.

A HANDSOME FIGHT
Developed Among Webstel
Candidates For Office.

Webster. March 25.-The caucuses
are over. the candidates have been
nominated. now comes the struggle at
the polls. 1t will be no cinch to get
elected this year, as there is more life
in politics this year than has been evil
denced for many d year.
The result of the nominations in the
republican party in Webster last
night, was a big surprise to nearly ev-
erybody. The surprise party" was
Matched in the office of Deputy Sher-

ing, but the plans were perfected and
made definite only 4 few hours previous
to the caucus, In the ring were Sher-
iff Glare, Postmaster Marble, Selectnan
BraBdes and DR.. Brown.
When the nomination was made by
Mr.. Glare. and the name of Andrew r.
Snow was brought forward, q stiffness
thai was SO shrouded in mystery and
surprise prevailed that it was almost
oppressive. The premature quietnesS'
was soon broken, however, by Mr..

of what was coming, thought that DR..

other leaders of the party, but il is not

time pointed in that direction. The
doctor had simply withdrawn his name
in favor OF Mr. Snow.
DR.. Brown was seen by the Webster
correspondent Of The Spy, this morning,
relative to his withdrawal of his name

that for personal reasons. principally
of hi
duties. he not having the time to de-
vote to the office that he thought was
imperative, withdrew his name In re

cred he would have defeated Mr.. Love,
the democratic nominee, the doctor said
that he thought his chances were good.
and was not afraid of being defeated,
he also said that he thought the re-
publican ticket would be generally sue
cessful.
Mr.. Snow was seen by a reporter of
The Spy. He said he did not know

the afternoon whea he was quietly in

An Advance Along the Line.

Manila, Nov. 9.-Geueral Wheaton
nus successfully established base on the
Gulf of Lingayen well north OF the
main army of the Filipinos. The gun.
boat Manila, which accompanied Whea-
toms expedition, returned TO Manila
last night with the news. Wheaton and
his troops landed Tuesday at port in
the gulf after the war chips had vigor.
ously shelled the place and driven the
insurgents inland. General Wheaton
has $500 men, including battery OF
artillery. Re endorsements will be sent
Wheaton at once. The for ward move
ment OF Lawton, Macarthur and Wbea-
ton in their endeavor to crush Agui
naldo and his army is confidently look
ed for in the next few days.
Wheaton's men had fierce fight
|, soon after landing. The Filipinos lay in
their trenches and met the advance OF
the Americans with heavy firing. The
infantry CALAMITY charged the rebels
and routed them after brief but des.
perate fight. Two of the Americans
we're wounded in the fight. Casualties
of the Filipinos had not yet been re-
ported when the dispatch boats left for
Manila. General Wheaton's men had
already begun their advance to the
eastward.

The Kentucky Election.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 9.-Au even
more exciting time is on in Kentucky
than in 1896, when, for a week, the
State was in doubt and a contest was
imminent. Bradley defeated Hardin by
q small ,Iurslity and the State was
crowded into the Mckinley column by
a narrow margin. Today both the
leading candidates are still claiming the
State. Taylor, republican, declares he
has plurality of 5000. while Goebel,
democrat, says he is elected by 5000
votes. 1t will require the official re-
turns of Friday to arrive at any conclu-
sion, as to what party won. Completed
returns at 9:45 this morning, give Goe.
bel sixty counties with 81, 602 plurality,
and Taylor SO counties with plurality
of 32,13S. making Taylor $50 votes
ahead. A contest is certain, and the
Inauguration of two men is possible.
enty of bloodshed is predicted by
leaders who are determined. Goebel
has the election machinery and Taylor
she militia. The free prediction that
Goebel will he Kentucky's next Gov
ernor, whether elected or not, seems
likely to come true. At present tho
legislature stands: Senate 26 democrats,
10 republicans, 2 populists. House, So
democrats, 40 republicans, 2 populists.

LICENSES IN RICaMoND.-The COM
mission appointed by the Richmond
Council to consider the question of
changing the present method of taxing
the professions and the retail liquor
trade met on Tuesday.
Having heard reports from all of the
professions and the liquor. dealers, the
committee proceeded to formulate a
plan of assessing the same, and the fol.
lowing recommendations, as amend
ments to the city ordinances, were de.
cided upon.
Medical and dental professions to be
taxed as follows: Persons practicing
FIVE years and under, $40; from five to
ten years, including tenth year $40;
over ten years $50.
The legal profession to be taxed as
at present.. g., first clause, 500; sec.
one, $75; third, $50; fourth, $50; fifth
$40; sixth, $40.
Retail liquor dealers to be assessed q
uniform tax of $75. and all clubs selling
liquor to members to be classed as re-
4 all liquor. dealers, and to pay the same
tax.
The committee also decided to recon-
mend an amendment to the present or
dinances, providing that all persons en-.
gagged in the sale of fish and oysters be
required to take out a license for pc.
Rod not less than one year.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The Beers have resumed their bonn
bardment of Ladysmith, Natal, throw
ing into the town shells from their big
guns. At last accounts the British army
there was still holding out. A British
refugee who has escaped from Lsdy-
smith says General Whites artillery is
unable to cope with the improved guns
of the Beers. A force of artillery
and mounted troops has left Estcourt,
Natal, for a destination that Ia
not stated. Il has probably reoccu-
pied Colenso, which the Beers aban
doned, and may now be advancing
north from Colenso to join hands with
General White in keeping the railroad
open.
Strong positions on the hills sur.
rounding Pietermaritzburg have been
fortified, in anticipation Of Boer at
tack.
General French has left Ladysmith
for Capetown, to take command of the
cavalry in the expected advance OF
General Butler through the Orange
Free State.
The Boer official account OF the bat
tie of Nickolson's Mex confirms Gen
eral Whites statement that stampede
of mules threw the British into confu
sion.
The situation in the Transvaal is be-
lieved by the British to be Frightening
up for them. They think that relief
will soon come to Gen. Viii Q.
The British War Office has declined
the offer of second Canadian regi-
ment, on the ground that it is not
needed.
General Brockelhurst headed off and
defeated a force of 1000 Beers on the
Pietermaritzburg road.
General Smith managed to leave
Ladysmith by the last train from there.

Gold Mine Under a Church.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. Children OF
the parish school of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception yesterday dug
up $1,000 in gold coin in the basement
beneath the sanctuary of the church.
Workingmen were repairing the base.
ment, and the children began playing
in an excavation. A bright lad began
initiating laborer with shovel, and
found two $50 gold pieces 10 the SHOW
ell. Several boys and girls began dig
ging and soon unearthed yeritable
gold mine. The matter was called to
the attention of Father Patrick Butter,
the parish priest. He is more than 70
years old with an impaired memory.
He said he buried the money years
ago. 1t was part of the estate of his
brother, DR.. Butter, who died in 1898.
He had hidden the gold during the
panic and had forgotten it.
