State returning board, by declaring
that Goebel, not Taylor, was entitled

This issue of the contest had been

JOEL GROVE STIMsoN, STAFFORD.
LEWIS HOLMES, Bradford.

Mr. PERHAM was born in Browns
vile, Me-, in 1912, the fifth child of
ten, being the sixth generation from
his American ancestor, John G. Per-
ham, who was born in England in 1858
and settled in Chelmsford, Mass, in
1864. The father of Mr.. Perham re-
moved with his family to New Hamp-
shire about 1915, thence to Tunbridge,
and the son finally settled in Brook
field about 1923 where he has lived ever
since, leading the life of farmer. His
school privileges were few, but he had
plenty of work. In 1889 he married
Miss Fanny Abbott of Brookfield,
whose grandfather was in the revolu-
tionary army. She died in 1872 after q
long illness, during which she was con-
fined to her bed seventeen years. They
had but one child, John B. Perham.
He now lives on the farm where he
has been nearly sixty-one years. In
religious preference he was formerly a
Free Will Baptist, now a Congrega-
tionalist. His newspapers in the early
antislavery days were the Morning
Star-a Free Will Baptist journal of
no uncertainty as to slavery, published
at Dover, N. H.,-and the Green Noun
tain Freeman. He could not affiliate
with either of the old political parties
and was therefore all ready for the
Liberty Party of 1910. In that year
the anti-slavery men of Brookfield held
a caucus and nominated - Trask
for representative. 1t is not known
that any of them are now living except
Mr.. Perham. They cast Is votes for

young men does. Mr.. Yost called
Contractor Thomas f.. Evans and In
company with Policeman Pomroy they
entered the house and found foreign

building the tire on the floor was that

penters arrived the fellow had big fire
blazing up four or five feet high and
there was u hole burned into the floor
The fellow had first started a fire in u
paint keg on second floor and burned
the floor u little there. Had the fire

d. f. Stanford, of Sandy Valley, will
go to Oil City next Monday to see II
brother whom he has not seen for thir-
ty-fve years and whom the family had
not heard from for thirty years until
two weeks ago. Thirty years ago this
brother was in battle with Indians
and as the family never heard from him
afterwards they supposed he had been
killed. Imagine the surprise Of the
surviving members Of the family
when within the last two weeks they
received word that he would return
to Oil City. This man, who is now six
ty-five years old, has travelled all over
the world during the thirty years his

MIp-WINTER MUSICAL.
Liliputian Carnival Success-The Boys
and Girls Played Their Parts Well.

The elements OF success arc largely
Inherent in those who succeed. so with
those who took part in the Liliputians'
Musical Carnival which was presented
in our school Assembly Hall last Friday
and Saturday evenings. The play was
grand success. not only from II spec
tacular consideration, which was cer-
tainly excellent. but because the parts
were well committed, the weather was
good, the crowd. thu not extra large,
was enthusiastic and applaudcd vocif-
erously. and lastly and by NJ means
the least consideration, the training had
been so carefully conducted by Miss
Decker that nothing could be suggested
that would have improved the presen-
tation.
The effect of the calcium lights was
all that could have been desired. the
gentle tints timely placed added much
to the grand effect.
As hundred were In the cast we can
only mention few of the more prumi-
neni ones.
Wallace Mitchell was certainly at his
best in the role of Captain Billy Mil
lions: his singing wus good and his man.
ner easy and highly pleasing, and under
his captaincy the Polar Star certainly
had a most remarkable and successful
cruise.
John Coleman rs Admiral Dewey was
success, as every one who knew hi m
expected he would be.
Aurora was we'll played by Allie Irv-
ing. Fantasia, Zelma Shaffer. was the
accompanying fairy of Aurora.
The boatswain, Carl Kirk: Sherlock
Holmes. Boyd Lindsay; and Captain
Kidd, Fred Dcspicrre, were strong In
their respective parts.
The Cooking Club and the Christopho
Columbo chorus were excellent and each
were heartily encored.
An extra word about the training by
Miss Decker. 1t was without fault
and the musical was incomparably bet
ter than anything in this line ever
given in the town and certainly Miss
Decker and the management deserve
high eommcndation.

"The Union Scout"

"The Union Scout" which was billed
for the Reynolds opera house for two
nights last week, was only played one
night, much to the disappointment Of
the people in the surrounding commun-
ity who may not even now know that
the drama was to be producec at this
place. The management did a wise act
to cancel the date for second night, as
the vacuum would have been so great
that the play would hardly have been
produced any how. The drama is a
good one, but some of the players were
evidently ''stage struck" "Rube" Wad-
dell. the noted base ball player, was one
of the attractions OF THE Union Scout" "

Weeks and His Ouar,ette.

Edwin r. Weeks, the impersonator,
and the Cecilian Quartette gave an
entertainment in Assembly Hall last
Wednesday evening. This was the
fourth entertainment in the public
school course. AS usual there was a
large audience present. The entertain
ment was very good, but it did not SUR
pass the expectations OF the people.
Mr.. Weeks description of the "boss
trade" from "David Harum," his songs,
his musical monologues and his operatic
novelties were good entertainment
without the assistance Of the quartette.
