J. II. Merrifield for Speaker.

With the withdrawal of Hon. Justus
Dart as a candidate for the speaker
ship, and other developments of the
past week, the indications are that
John H. Merrifield of Newfane will
have strong and probably winning
support for that office. On behalf
of Mr.. Merrifield it is to be said that,
while he is not a candidate in the
sense that he has so announced him
self or has solicited any representa-
tive-elect to vote for him, he will, If
given the election as the voluntary
act of a majority of the House, ac-
cept the office and perform it's duties
to the best of his ability. Mr. Mer-
rifield has earned every word of COM
mendation that has been given him,
and it would be a source of pride and
qualification to his Windham county
constituency should the honor of an
election to the speakership come to
him.

Death of Hiram A. Huse.

Hiram A. Huse of Montpelier, state
librarian, and leading lawyer and
citizen of the state, died suddenly
early Wednesday morning from neu-
ralgia of the heart. Mr.. Huse was
tired out with overwork, and left home
Monday with Mrs. Huse for a few
days outing. They stopped over
night at Williamstown, and he was
seized there with his fatal malady
Mr.. Huse was a native of Randolph,
born Jan. II, 1S43, but he grew up
in Wisconsin,, where his parents re-
moved in his childhood He was
graduated at Dartmouth college in
1865, and from the Albany law school
in 1867. He became a resident of
Vermont soon after, and was admitted
to the Vermont bar in 1869. He

pelier in 1879. His well earned fame

THE DRIVING CLASS.

The driving classes occupied atten-
tion throughout Thursday forenoon.
There were nine entries of speedy
roadsters in the gentlemen's driving
class. The blue ribbon was awarded
to G. o. Abbott, the local marketman,
with bay PAGER. Chas. Clarks stylish
gray gelding was given second prize.
d. F. Shea, DR.. Prouty and DR.. Acker
man were the other Brattleboro horse
men who drove their own animals.
The nine entries in the class for
matched pairs were a remarkable lot,
but the Connecticut River Stock
Farms handsome mares which are
described elsewhere were the favorites
with the crowd and the decision of the
judges in giving them the blue rib
bon met with popular approval.
Joseph Clark of Guilford held the rib
bons over pair of black geldings
which were awarded the red ribbon.
The other exhibitors who had reason
to be proud of their pairs were o. T.
Ware of Brattleboro, A. A. Howard of
Jamaica, F. G. Rand of Saxtons River
Henry Crawford of Putney and Moses
Nelson of Bernardston.

HERE WAS THE COMPLETE FAIR
ATTENDANCE WAS HIGH WATER MARK, $1,000
Some Departments Moved Up Their High Standards and its En-
tirey the 18th Annual Fair Was Pronounced "the Best
Ever" Coaching Parade Not Missed

Men may come and men may go, a
feature of striking interest may be
dropped, but the Valley Fair goes on
forever.
The attendance Wednesday and
Thursday was fully up to the record
of any previous year, being above the
10000 mark. The exact figures are not
known at present, but the attendance
the first day was several hundred larg-
er than on the first day last year, and
yesterday some $4,000 or $1,000 peo-
pie were present, or fully as many as
ever came on last day.
The fact has been demonstrated that
it is the fair that people come to see,
and that the dropping out of single
attraction like the coaching parade
makes no difference Now that the
fair has ended so satisfactorily every
one is pleased that the burden of get
ting up a parade was not carried this
year.
1t was a complete fair, in which
some of the departments showed a
capacity to improve where high rank
had already been attained, and in it's
entirety it was fully equal to any
Valley Fair-and that is praise enough.

In Memoriam,

The passing of the Valley Fair has
emphasized to hundreds, perhaps to
thousands of people. including yearly
fair visitors, the loss which the Brat
tleboro community has sustained with
in the year in the death of Gen. Es-
tey and Col. Hooker. 1t gave one a
strange sense of loss--almost of I'M
reality-not to see Gen. Estey in the
ticket stand, and Col. Hooker just in
side the entrance to look or speak a
welcome to the passing throng. Both
builded well for the permanent pros
perity of the Valley Fair, and it was
as both would have wished that the
success of this years exhibition was
equal to that of any year in the past.

Hundreds of men in active life all
over Vermont have felt a deep sense
of personal loss in the sudden death
of Hiram A. Huse. No written words
can describe the feeling entertained
toward Mr.. Huse by those to whom he
had revealed himself. He possessed
He had a quaintness of speech and
a way of expression which provoked
a smile, even when the most serious
things were under discussion. But
underneath all one realized deli
hood, and a stanchness of moral fibre
which made him respect and love the
man within.

President Roosevelt Suffers from an
Abscess.

The extended tour through the North
west, on which President Roosevelt start
ed last Friday, was brought to a sudden
end at Indianapolis Tuesday by the de-
velopment of an abscess on the left leg,
between the knee and ankle, which re-
quired a surgical operation. When the
presidential party reached Indianapolis
the pain in his leg had become so severe
that the doctors insisted, greatly against
the Presidents will, that he should go to
a hospital for the operation. The sur
geons work took only a few minutes and
relieved the pain. The President wished
to continue his tour, but the surgeons
warned him that it was reckless to stand
on the leg until the wound had healed,
and he reluctantly consented to return to
Washington Secretary Cortelyou gave
out the statement that the abscess was
the result of a severe bruise received in
the trolley car accident at Pittsfield.
Both the secretary and the surgeons as
sured the country that no serious re-
suits are to be apprehended. A few
days of quiet are all that the President
needs for full recovery.

There have been notable horses at
