Vaccination and Small Pox.

The doctors have been kept tolerably
busy during the past ten days perform
ing the delightful operation of vaccina-
ton. There have been all sorts of ru-
mors and some people seem actually to
have been frightened. 1t became known
case in Alstead, and everybody was on
tiptoe at once. From the account given
in our Alstead news it appears that the
case is not severe and that the danger of
new cases is very small.
John Royce, the sick man, is brother
of L. J. and 81. II. Royce of this village.
March IA he attended a dance at the
Cold River House in Cold River. Sever
al from here were present, including 10
or II employees of the Vermont Farm
Machine company. These so far as
IS, Mr.. Royce attended a kitchen
dance at B. F. Browns in Drews~
vile, and while there was taken sick
vomiting. About 80 were present and
oil nave Do6H NdCCIldUeu. MT. Royce
continued mildly sick until Wednesday
when doctor was called and it was de-
cided he had small pox Thursday.
Most of the time since the news got
out reports of from one to four cases in
Bellows Falls have been flying about. 1t
has been said that the entire force of the
Vermont Farm Machine company had
been ordered vaccinated, also the en-
ployes at the Hall paint factory; that all
the school children must be vaccinated,
ETC., but all these reports were without
foundation. In Walpole it is a little diff
ferent. No children there will be al
lowed to attend the spring term of school
unless vaccinated. Tuesday 400 points
had been used in North Walpole, and
new supply of 200 more had been Or
dered.
There are scattered cases all about as
there are few cases in Keene and Swan
zy, case or two in Hinsdale, nine or ten
cases in Pownal and a few cases in
Springfield, Mass.

Shall Bellows Falls lift the CupT'

A meeting was held at the high school
building Tuesday evening in the interest
of athletics. There were not many of the
tewnspeople present; there were more of
the alumni, together with a large repre-
sentation of the undergraduates, and the
dominant, enthusiastic sentiment was,
that for the third and all important time,
the boys of the high school can and most
certainly must cliff and thereby perm
anently own that cup. To realize this
coveted prize it is necessary that they
should have a competent trainer And
the conviction is hearty and unanimous
that the one man who can satisfactorily
fill that important Office is the old train
er, Mr.. Baldwin. He is clean, courteous,
a manly man. He thoroughly under
stands the boys; commands their respect;
gets out of them the best power, speed,
endurance that is in them. As one of
our local physicians aptly expressed it
che isn't an extremist, he exercises
common sense; he doesn't over-tax the
boys Best of all he is winner and
the boys firmly and fully believe that in
order to bring home that cup for the
third and the last time it is absolutely
imperative that they shall have the valu-
able and indispensable services of Trainer
Baldwin. Now in order to do this it will
be necessary to raise about S75, and the
boys earnestly hope that all will gen.
erously cooperate; not only the gradu-
ates and the undergraduates but also the
citizens at large. 1t would be burning
shame for others not to do their part
now that the boys have so clearly dem
onstrated their willingness and splendid
ability to do theirs. Let everybody give
them a lift and they will do their very
best to Gift that cup" A committee
consisting of one from each of the four
classes, together with three from the
alumni, has been appointed and this
committee of seven will haveTcharge of
the financial end of the victory. The
alumni committee are L. B. Wilson, H.
W. McKinnon and J. A. Busby.

advisable system to be adopted for fire
protection, made a report in favor of the
district purchasing the plant now owned
by the North Walpole Water company,
and making the same suitable for domes-
tic and fire purposes. They reported
that the plant could be purchased for
! S27, 900. After some discussion the
meeting adjourned for four weeks and
the committee were instructed to have
| their report printed and circulated for
the information of the voters. There
seems to be a sentiment that the plant
should be owned and developed by the
district.
In conversation with p. f. Griffin,
treasurer of the North Walpole Water
company, Mr.. Griffin stated that as far
as water for domestic use went the Serv-
ice was excellent. But for long time
there had been a feeling that some action
should be taken looking toward the pro-
lection of property in case of fire. The
committee appointed had waited upon
UlIS Sohpe anu eShCb III IllSC VII
the plant which was given. While the
company had no particular desire to sell
they realized that, should the district
desire, they could obtain it by the right
of eminent domain. Hence they decided
to make reasonable price on the prop
erty and his associates had always adj
vocated that the system be owned by
the village and had worked with that
end in view long before they became the
owners. They had not changed their
minds in the least. All they asked was
fair treatment and should the district
decide to take it a reasonable price was
all they expected. He said he had no
doubt but what the matter would be
finally settled for the best interests of
the district and satisfactory to all con-
cerned.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION.
The Vermont Christian Endeavor Union
Will Meet Next Fall in BrattleborO.

At the Union Twentieth Century con-
vention held in Burlington in January,
1901, invitations were received from both
the Massachusetts, Union of Christian
Endeavor to join with them in grand
New England convention to be held in
Boston and from the Brattleboro En-
deavorers to meet with them in the au-
tumn. The Massachusetts Endeavorers
having postponed their convention until
1902, it relieves us of the embarrassment
of accepting the one and rejecting the
other invitation.
We are certainly pleased to have the
opportunity of accepting the kind invita-
ton from Brattleboro knowing even at
this early date that the success of this
convention is largely assured because of
the place of meeting. We are warranted
also in saying that the convention will be
one of rare merit, as some of the speak
ers have already been booked and we
feel that Vermont is more in touch with
the Christian Endeavor movement than
ever before. -. 81
We therefore can bespeak for those
who may plan to attend this convention
that it will be the best convention ever
held in Vermont in the history of the
movement.
EDWARD G. OSGOOD,
President of Vermont Christian Endeav-
or Union.

Letter to Col. Edward G. Osgood.
RELLOMS FALLS. VI.

Dear Sir:-Rockland, Maine, is a sea-
coast town hard place for paint. Abont
seventeen years ago, Farrand, Spear & Co.,
Rockland, began with DevOe. Their first
sale was to paint the harrington residence,
well known there.
Mr.. Farrand says the house appears, from
the street, to be well painted now, and has
never been reprinted.
We should like to know more definitely
about job of paint that has lasted seven
teen years on a seaside house. 1t is the
longest time we have had a report on.
Lead and oil lasts three years-a first
rate job-and nobody says it lasts longer
We are content to say that Devoe lead and
zinc lasts twice as long: but we know OF
houses innumerable, on which our paint
has exceeded six years.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvOE & Co.
p. S.-Howard Hardware company sells
our paint in your section.

Governor Otero has once again
routed his enemies and delighted his
friends, He is the first governor of New
Mexico to be reappointed. His reap
pointment was followed Saturday by his
second Inauguration, the oath Of office
being administered by Judge j, h.
McFie amid imposing ceremonies at
Santa Fe. Otero's victory over the
Catron- Berger Vance faction places
him permanently as the leader Of the
Republican party in this territory, a
position whose honors the governor will
doubtless wear gracefully and easily as
becomes a courteous gentleman and ca
pable official. Progressive people in all
the parties reioiced in Governor Otero's
success. 1t was generally expected, but
the opposition made a bitter fight

needed-that is to say, he is a loyal and

One of the most notable proofs Of the
amazing growth Of that east region Of
our country commonly called the North
west, with it's numerous sisterhood Of
states and its population Of more than
seven million people is the fact that it
is only a little more than eighty years
since the first white baby was born
there. The child was girl, the daugh-
ter Of regular army officer, and she is
still living. A fascinating account Of
her eventful life, the early years Of
which were spent among soldiers and
sayages, will appear in an early issue of
the Ladies' Home journal.
