Let County Records be shown.


Whereas, There was intro
duced in the late Rep biican
couoty convention which met
in Guthrie and nominated a
ticket to be voted for this fall
by the people of this codnty,
a resolution demanding an ia
vestigation of the records of
this county, and pledging the
county commissioners TO order
such investigation; and
Whereas, Such resolution was
by such conveo ton DENIED,
both by the resolutions com
mittee and by the convention
itself; and
Whereas, We believe the
people of this county have the
right Ito be showL" the con-

and that such demand was

this convention, by the ac-
ceptance of said nominations,
pledge themselves in Individually
and collectively, if elec ed, to
cause a thorough investigation
by competent persons TO be
made of the books and records
of Logan county, to the end
that the taxpayers may know
what has become OF the public
moneys and the manner in
which the records have been
kept, and that if any defalca-
tions have occurred, and ex-
cessive and fraudulent charges
have been made and allowed,
the same may be recovered TO

Clerk and Carrier Examination.

The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that on Septem Der
26, 1900, an examination will be held
in this city for the positions of Jerk
and carrier in the postofice service.
This examination is held for the
reason that the Postofice Department
has stated that all offices where no
substitute force is maintained such
force will be appointed as the result
of this examination, so that when va
cancies occur in the regular force there
will be no delay in filing the same.
1t is the intention of the department
as far as possible TO estab blish a substi-
tute force at every Office equal to
about 25 per cent of the number of
regular employees.
This examination will be held at
all classified postoffices throughout
the country, except those of the first
class, and as result of the same, in
addition to the substitute appoint
ment, vacancies which now exist in
the regular force will be filed.
The nature of the examination is a
test of practical, general intelligence,
and adsptability in postoffice work.
The age limitations for this examina-
ton are as follows:
Clerk, not less than 1s years.
Carrier, between 21 and 40 years.
Applicants for male clerk and car
rier must have the medical certificate
n Form 101 executed. Applicants for
carrier must be at least feet, inches
inches in height and weigh not less
than l25 pounds. Female applicants
/ - o. - N
cate executed.
This examination offers an excell-
ent opportunity for entering the fed
eral service to bright, energetic young
persons who are not afraid of hard
work, and the commission hopes that
a sufficient number of intelligent. &C.
tive persons will present themselves
for this examination. 1t may be stats
ed that there is a wider field for ad-
vancement upon merit in the federal
service than in many private employ
ments, not only by promotion in the
same office, but by transfer to other
deparl ments of the service.
This examination is open to all ci:i-
zens of the United States who may
desire to- enter the service, and who
comply with the requirements. All
such persons are invited to apply, but
attention is invited to the fact that
from those certified the Department
usually selects for appointment eligi-
bles who are residents of the district
n which the vacancies exist. Appli-
cants will be examined, graded, and
certified with entire impartialit" and
wholly without regard to any consid-
Grafton save their ability as shown by
the grade attained IN the examina-
tion.
For application blank (Form 1O1),
full instructions, specimen examina-
tion questions, and information rela-
tive to the duties and salaries Of the
different positions aud as to whether
there are any existing vacancies in
this office, applications should be made
to the undersigned.
Applications should be promptly filed
with the secretary of the local board,
and inquiry should be made of him as
to the day set for the close of the re-
ceipt of applications.

SPORTING.
BrattlebOrO Victorious.

Defeated HInsdaIe 10 to o I'm the First
Long Runs a Feature.
The Brattleboro High school foot ball
eleven played its first home game of the
season on the island Saturday afternoon,
winning from the Hinsdale High school
aggregation by score Of 10 to 0. The
playing of the Brattleboro boys showed
the sort of team that is being developed.
Their offensive play was good, the run
ner having excellent interference, especially
around the ends. On the defense their
work was not as strong, the opponents
gaining frequently through the right side
of the line. This was partly due to the
fact that the High school had no second
eleven to line up against in practice.
Conland kicked off for Brattleboro, %
yards to Young, who was downed with
slight gain. Hinsdale worked Brattle-
boro's line for short gains until past the
centre Of the field. Then Jeffords got
around the end with clear field, but was
caught from behind by the speedy Monroe.
Hinsdale kept hammering the line until
Brattleboro's ive-yard line was reached.
Here they were held for downs. Brattle-
boro took just three rushes to make a
touchdown. Monroe started with 25 yards.
Thurber added 80 yards and Monroe car
ried the ball across the line for touch
down. Goal was missed.
Adams failed to gain on the kickoff.
Whitman ran 40 yards and short rushes
brought the ball up to Hinsdale's 10 yard
line, where it was secured by them on
downs. They Immediately lost the ball
on tumble, and Thurber added five points
more to Brattleboro's score. No goal was
kicked. Brattleboro at once scored anoth-
er touchdown. Adams gained on the kick
off, and Monroe ran 10 yards for the third
touchdown, Conland and Whitman giving
excellent interference. Adams muffed
the next kickoff as time was called.
In the second half neither side scored.
Following the kickoff Brattleboro tried
the tackle and end over play for a
short gain. The Dartmouth freshmen
ceverly worked this play successfully here
two years ago. From this point to the end
of the game the ball alternated between
the two teams, neither side making long
gains.
The Brattleboro backs, as usual, had the
better chance to distinguish themselves,
but the line men all did we'll. Monroe was
the bright star. For Hinsdale the all
around work of w. Doucette was feature,
while II. Jeffords did some good ground
gaining. The teams will meet again in
the near future.

The blaze was in the wool room at the

responded promptly, but it was fortunate
that the mill is completely supplied with

OF water in the Ashuelot river very little
could be done by the fremen toward ex-

Roadway. The place was we'll wet down
by the sprinklers, and the fire was easily
under control, although the room was
