against him. 1t will be well for him to
be on the alert, as some of the Coun-
cilmen are slowly feeling their way
for reelection. The friends of Officer
Erwin are pushing him forward as a
candidate for marshal. Officer Erwin
when asked as to his candidacy, was
very reticent and had nothing to say,
but it can be said that Erwin would be
a strong candidate for the place.

Youngsters Ill,
DOCTOR WAS BUSY,
Ptomaine Poisoning dag
noSed as the Cause.

Fitchburg, Feb. 21-Twelve young
children were taken suddenly ill Mon
day, and for a time DIR. H. H. Lyons
had busy time caring for the little
ones. He was out visiting other pa
tients and was hailed by a Mrs. Joa-
chin, who said that her young child
was very sick. He had no sooner at
tended to these cases when he was
called to Officer Donavan's house, where
several more youngsters were found TO
be ailing in the same manner. He
then went TO his office and found an
of W. L. Bigelow, who showed the
same symptoms.
After all had been cared for, the
doctor thought for a moment and
then came to the conclusion as all the
families lived in the same neighbour
hood. that impure milk might have
caused the illness by what is known
as ptomaine poisoning. 1t is also said
that the same man delivered milk at all
the afflicted homes, and that the milk
Soured before noon on the day it was
left A sample of the milk has been
obtained for the purpose of analysis.
The children are now all out of danger.
The local Volunteer Relief Associa-
ton, which done so much for the local
soldier during the late war, has closed
up its accounts and finds that $11 03 Is
the balance on hand. This sum has
been turned over to Major Priest. to
use for the companies as he sees fit
The local police are hard on the
heels of illicit rum sellers, and that
fraternity are getting exceedingly shy
in doing business. All sorts of trick
devices have been resorted to since the
new administration went into office.
The neatest device was discovered last
evening when the premises of one Mi
chael ]. Hart at West Fitchburg was
visited and after long search a cork
was discovered in the floor, and upon
it's removal a strong smell of whiskey
was evident. The result was that after
some tearing up of flooring and finding
tubes in a barrel with about 10 gal
Ions of whiskey came to light
