Frank II. Archibald of Manchester was

Two Committees Trying to Serve as
Republicans in Barre-Mors Resig-
nations

Barre, Aug. S-Additonal combinations
in the mixed political situation In this city
arose to-day when two warnings of repub-
lican caususes were issued, one by the
'bolting' city committee and the other
by the regular committee. The former
committee called caucus for FRIDAY even
ing, Aug. IL to nominate n representative
to the general assembly. The warning of
the regular city committee is called for
Thursday evening, day previous, for .
same purpose. If two caucuses are held
two republican candidates will be nom
mated in which case the democrats are
sure of sending representative to the
LEGISLATURE.
The first committee elected, the bolt
ing committee, still maintains It is tho
legal organization, However there Is a
difference OF opinion In the committee as
to whether they should serve, as was
shown by the resignation of f. L. Small
one Of the members. last night. Mr.. Small
refused to serve as he said he could not
support the State ticket, being n Clement
man. After considerable reluctance the
resignation was accepted and Judge A. G..
Fay was elected to the position. On his
refusal to serve, ]. l.. Robbins was elected
Now Mr.. Robbins says he will not serve
as he does not consider some of the mem
bers OF the committee as republicans.

CLEMENT AND THE LABORING MAN
(From the Brattleboro Phoenix)

This is the time when Candidate Glenn
ent is going about the state seeking the
support Of the plain people and asking
the suffrage of the laboring man, to elect
him governor of the State. He claims to
be a friend Of the laboring man. Let us
see how he conducted himself when he was
a large employer of labor
Soon after he obtained control OF the Rut
land railroad, and was its active manager,
he got up a contract for the employees of
that road to sign. 1t is an innonCcnt look
ing little document. II was easy TO get
men who were subject to their discharge to
sign contract which provided that in con
sidoration OF their employment they agreed
that they would not claim any damages
from the railroad company in case they
were injured by its negligence.
This sounds little strange, but Glenn
cnt went little further and when he em-
ployed minor he made the parents sign
the contract specifying that not only
should the minor not receive damages tor
injuries, but if he should be killed. his
parents should waive all claim to damages
they might suffer by reason of the rail
road S negligence.
This contract worked smoothly enough
until one Darius Tarbcl, in Rutland
county. whose son had been killed while
at work on the Rutland railroad by rea
son of the companys negligence. saw fit
to test the contract in the court. In vol
uine 20 ol the Vermont reports, on page
BAT, the case is reported and the opinion
of the supreme Court is given. The court
in almost scathing terms declares the con
tract to he within those which were termed
against good morals" and against pub
lie policy and void" 1t Is declared to be
an unlawful agreement and void in its
inception. 'reprobated by public policy"
premium for careleSsness," and the
court held that the plaintiff could recover,
notwithstanding this neat little game that
Mr.. Clement had played.
This is how the friend of the work
ingman" looks when the light is turned
on.

1t is not so many years ago when surf

NEBRASKA REAPING MILLIONS.
Magnitude Of the Wheat Crop That 10
Now Being Harvested.

stupendous. almost A marvellous, thing
is taking place in this State this week 1t
may be said almost literally that the far
mcrs Of Nebraska are rcaping millions Of
dollars.
Seventy-fve million bushels of wheat are
being harvested. Despite the heavy rains
of last month, this figure is believed to be
fair estimate Of the crop. The excessive
rainfall will have damaged the grade Of
this grain somewhat but 1t had very little
effect on the quantity. Reports of crop
damage from water come chiefly from the
river bottoms, where much wheat is not
harvested.
1t requires an effort of the magma tion to
grasp the magnitude of this immense har-
vest of wheat. this donation of nature to
the pockethooks Of matcrialistc man.
Half rs many dollars as bushels Of wheat
will flow into the State when this harvest
is complete and the grain Is hauled to the

While the farmer is reapinE this wealth
as much more is springnE up before his
eyes. In one field he is gathering wheat
in tho next corn is fairly popping out of
the ground. With the ground full Of
moisture and this nurturing sun overhead
the eye may almost see the growth Of the
latter grain.
Nebraska may this year be the first grain
and wheat State in the Union--it is almost
certain to be such from the misfortune of
its rivals. The heavy rains did compar-
atively little harm in Nebraska: its So IL
is such that 1t sucks in the moisture and
