THEY WILL MEET.
Deposed District Judges Not
Ready to Quit.
Conference to Decide ON Plan
Will Be Held.
BURRIs WON'T FIGHT.
Olathe Judge the Only One Will
ing to Give Up.
No Time Has Been Fixed For
the Meeting.

Organized resistance to vacating ju-
dicial benches for the appointees OF
Governor Stanley is Matching. A confer
ence of the deposed judges is being ar
ranged.
There were six changes made in
judges out of the thirteen appoint
ments.
As far as heard from but one has
accepted the decree to get down off the
bench when the judicial terms are out
the first of the year. Judge John T.
Burris, Democrat, of Olathe, has con-
ferred with his successor, w. H. Shell
don. of Paola, and arranged the docket
so that Sheldon's cases will be out of
the way and he can step UP to the
bench with his causes all taken care OF
in advance.
The remaining five are still deliberat-
ing. They have a movement on foot TO
meet and decide upon their future
course. The intention is to actRunited-
ly- Whatever course shall be decided
upon will be Observation-Disclosures they
decide to contest to hold their places or
all yield them up to those appointed as
their successors.
Judge A. c. T. Geiger, Popuiist. whose
appointive successor is John r. Hamil-
ton, is in communication wAn W. L
Mcbride, of the Nineteenth district.
Judge Geiger wrote to Mcbride propos-
ing that they meet with Judges Thorn
son, Glass and Andrews and decide on
their course of action.
Mcbride replied that he was agree
able to this plan. They have not yet ar
ranged a date or place for the meeting
but the indications are strong that such
a conference will be held very soon-
Representative James Lawrence, who
is to succeed Mcbride, was here today
arguing a case in the supreme court
TT is not Judge Lawrence yet" he
said, in response to such a salute.
Isn't your Democrat going to get
down gracefully from the bench?" was
asked.
He told me he was going to do as
the others do. Geiger and Thomson are
arranging for a conference of five Of
them, 1 understand. They viii decide
at this future meeting whether to make
a contest or not.
The political aff1liation OF the six
judges who are deposed by the ap-
pointments under the biennial election
law is three Democrats, two Populists
and one Republican. Glass, Burris and
Mcbride are the Democrats; Andrews
and Geiger, Populists, and Thomson the
Republican.
Few die and none let loose. remark

NEW STEAMER LINE
To Ply Between Vancouver and
Viadivostock.

New York, Oct. PA Times special
from Montreal says:
The Canadian Pacific Railway COM
pany will probably put a line of
steamers from Vancouver to Vladivo-
stock, in order to take advantage of the
trade openings which exist in the east
in consequence of the opening up of
Siberia. In any case, it is certain that

WHO SHALL GO.
Mayor Hughes and Board of
Health Clash.

Why did not the board of health dis
charge two sanitary policemen at its
Tuesday nights meeting? That is what
Mayor Hughes would like to know.
Mayor Hughes issued his ukase to the
board last week that it would have to
dispense with two of it's smell-hunters
after September 80. The principal busi-
ness of the board at its regular Tues
day night meeting was supposed to be
to select these two lambs for the
slaughter
They didn't do it. They gave to
Mayor Hughes the CLASSY gaze, and
sent up word that they needed all six
of their sanitary men. As sort of a
peace offering, however, they discharged
a man named Joseph Jones, who has
been guarding a scarlet fever case, and
took one William Cole off the dump"
where he has been employed, and gave
him Jones job.

morning, IF the board don't fire those

its own health to be paramount, decided

LETTER FROM MISS STONE.
Begs That Robbers Be Not Pursued
as They Misuse Her.

New York, Oct. 2.-The report from
Sofia mentioned by the Vienna cores
pondent of the Telegraph throws quite
a new light on the abduction of Miss
Stone, says the London correspondent
OF the Tribune. There is every reason to
believe that the chief of the band which
carried the woman off to the mountains
was Bous Sarafou, the former president
OF the Macedonia committee at Sofia
Miss Stone has sent two letters to the
mission at Samakon, where in she begs
that the robbers may not be pursued
When they find themselves hunted they
drag her from place to place, and as a
consequence she is so fatigued as to be
unable to walk any longer.

An Incident of the Boer War.

William c. Tyler has received word
from his sister, Mrs. James Gray, that
the British government have just
granted her permission to return to
Pretoria after an absence from her home
of two and one.half years. When the
Boer war broke out Mrs. Gray at once
left the city, and her husband, who was
pastor of the Presbyterian church there,
was given his choice by Kruger to enter
the Boer army or leave the city within
% hours. Mr.. Gray chose the latter
course and was for time chaplain in the
British army. Later he became librarian
of the Pretoria library, receiving this ap.
pointment from the British government
By the time this is read, however, the
family will be united after their long
exile from home.

The Y. M. c. A. Boys at Pine Point.

The junior Y. M. c. A. boys returned
Saturday from their outing at Lake
Memphremagog, and were enthusiastic
over the trip. The boys found the days
hardly long enough to satisfy their am
bitions for fishing, bathing, boating and
tramping, and when the day for home
coming arrived all wished that the out
ing had been arranged for two weeks in
stead of one. They occupied a cottage
at Pine Point, overlooking one of the
most beautiful parts of the lake, and
through the kindness of Capt. Holbrook
they enjoyed delightful steam launch
rides along the shores and among the
islands, and on Thursday they were
taken to Owls Head and climbed the
mountain. They visited Skinner's cave
and heard the famous story Of the old
smuggling days told on the spot. Secre-
tary McGown, Mr.. Fisher and John
Taylor, who were in charge of the party,
used their best endeavors to make the
outing a success, aud the boys are unit
in declaring that it was perfect. Not
little OF the enjoyment of the trip was
due to the kindness Of Captain and Mrs.
aolbrook of Newport, whose summer
home is located at Pine Point, and the
boys showed their appreciation by pre-
senting them with copy of The Real
David Harum."

Lizzie L. McMullen, wife of Elmore E.
Gognon, died at her home on Portland
street, Wednesday night of Graves dis
ease, after prolonged illness. Mrs.
Gognon has been partial invalid for 1

ness became more serious and for the
past three months she had been a con-
stant sufferer. Mrs. Gognon was the
daughter of the late Rev. Alexander
McMullen of Lyndon. She was born at
Albany, Dec. II, 1861, and when a child
moved with her parents to Danville and
later to Lyndon, where her girlhood was
spent and where she was educated at
Lyndon Academy. She was married to

McMullen of Gardner, Mass, and one
brother, William McMullen, of Fitch
burg, Mass. The funeral was held at
her late home Saturday, Rev. George W.
Hunt of Grace Methodist church con-
Quoting the services. The bearers were
c. A. Miles, H. R. Albee, F. D. Bowker
and ]. S. Weeks. The burial was at Lyn-
don. Out of town friends who were
called here by the sickness and death of
Mrs. Gognon were, her mother, brother
and sisters and Mrs. Mary Smith, Fran
coma, N. H., Miss Daisy McMullen,
Fitchburg, and Mr.. and Mrs. George c.
Short of Lyndonville. Mrs. Gognon was
a most estimable woman and had a
large circle of friends who will extend to
her aged mother and her husband and
daughter their heartfelt sympathy in
their bereavement.

A Day at the Pond.

A cool day-weather that could not
have been better for picnic purposes-a
day that got in just ahead of the cheat
ed term," was vouchsafed the nearly 200
men, women and children of the North
church who had made ready for an out
ing at Joe's Pond last Thursday. The
party were taken up and brought back
by special train, and nothing occurred
throughout the whole day to mar the
pleasure of the occasion. Sanborn's
trim little steamer was at the disposal of
the picnickers, and frequent trips on
that, with the use of several small boats,
two swings, ample opportunity for
strolling and strawberry-hunting, and
social grouping, kept everybody happily
busy and made the time pass quickly.
At noon full justice was done to the din
ner contents of the individual lunch bas-
kets being supplemented by frst-class
coffee and lemonade furnished by the
committee of ladies and gentlemen who
had the details in charge, and to whom,
by the way, the whole company are
greatly indebted for the pleasure of the
day. Just prior to the departure of the
train on the return trip, the picnickers
were entertained by the ascension of
three fire balloons.

COUNTY COURT.
The Jurors Given Two Weeks r.

The Jurors Given u Two Weeks Rest.
The case of State VS.. Joseph Audette
was taken up Wednesday morning. In
this case the defendant was charged
with the larceny OF box of goods be-
longing to Robert Pettigrew from Mrs.
Kate 6. Brooks barn where it was
stored, and taking them to Preston's
auction rooms for sale. The defense was
that Audette's family had goods stored
at the same place and that he mistook
the box for one of bis own. The jury
brought in verdict OF not guilty Thurs
day afternoon. The lawyers were
States Attorney Porter for state and H.
B. Howe and G. c. Frye for the de.
fendant.
The next case was brief one, it was
State VS.. Albert Desrochers for furnishing
liquor The defendants crime was that
he wrote letter for a friend ordering
some liquor and when it arrived it was
left at his house for few days until the
owner claimed it. The case occupied
about two hours, and the court ordered
the jury to return a verdict for the de-
fendant. States Attorneys Porter pros
ecuted and Harland B. Howe was at
torney for the defence.
Two divorces were granted last week,
Elisha Rood of St. Johnsbury, from Alice
Martin Rood, of St. Johnsbury for wilful
desertion; Helen Delaney OF Lyndon,
from John Delaney of Lyndon, for intol-
cradle severity. In the latter case the
custody of the three minor children were
decreed to the petitioner during their mi
nority.
Jesse Simpson of Newark, who was
found guilty of simple assault last week,
was sentenced to pay fine of $40 and
costs, total of $50, which was paid
and he was released Saturday morning.
Fred Guyer of Lyndon, who was in
dicted by the grand jury for selling
liquor, and who went to New Hamp.
shire before the close of the session, was
brought from Littleton Friday by Sheriff
Sulloway and lodged in jail to await
trial.
The court adjourned Friday until July
% at 2 p. m. when the hearing of civil
cases will be resumed. The first case
tried will be either James S. Buel VS..
Union Mutual Fire Insurance Co. or
Charles F. Blackberg VS.. Connecticut
Valley Lumber Co. There are more
state cases to be tried and among them
will be the "bucket shop" case against
Frank Corcoran.
A popularity of the term is that thus
far every case has terminated in verdict
for the defendants or in disagreement.
In no instance has the plaintiff won.
Some chancery matters connected with
the injunctions against the dealers in
two percent beer were heard before
Judge Stafford yesterday. No announce
ments were made.
