resentative citizens was selected to
ride in a cab to be driven by the pro.
ferssor. The article selected was a
small pocket knife and the place of
concealment was house in the resi-
dental portion Of the city. The start
was made from the city hall at noon.
Prof. Montalvio was blindfolded and
helped up on to the box. He did not
draw up until the light house was
reached. Here the committee tried
to fool him by saying that he had
made mistake. Ignoring their pro-
tests he got out akd went directly in
to tine house where he found the hid
den article among the strings of an
old piano. He has promised to do the
same thing in Barre on Thursday
afternoon. Don't fail to see him.

ROW IN BIG LEAGUE.
spaIding Declares He Cannot Serve as
 President.

New York, December A.-DeLancey Ni- coll, attorney for Andrew J. Freedman. of the New York baseball club, made public a letter today replying to and commenting upon the document address ed to the National League clubs on Sat urday last by A. c. Spalding. The letter was addressed to the Boston, Cincinnati and St. Louis clubs and was in part as follows
 You have called my attention to a let ter received this day by you from MT. A. G. Spalding and have asked me what effect, if any. it has upon the present controversy. It seems to me the letter amounts to withdrawal on MT. Spald- ings part from the office of President Secretary Treasurer of the National League. He informs you that he must re- Treasurer of the National League, and goes on to say that 1t is up to each club to do that which, in its judgement, may seem best for its own intreest.'
 'Mr. Spalding was never elected Presi- dent-Secretary-Treasu of the National League. The courts have taken this view of 1t by issuing the injunction and Mir Spaldins seems to have come to the same conclusion himself The status of the National League remains the same as 1t was before the pretended election of MT. Spalding as President-Secretary-T Treas urer."

Stevenson, Ala. June 5, le0l. Dear Sir; I have been a great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. have also taken many different remedies; l taken Swamp Root three years, Warmers Safe cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third. I saw your Texas Wonder advertised, and purchased bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief. and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and 1 was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder and I call 1t world s wonder, and I hope all who suffers will give a trial.
 Wishing you success am yours truly,
