At the reception given to Admiral Schley

At the reception given to Admiral Schley
at the Auditorium Jan. 9th, by the citi-
zens of Chicago, Vermont, through her
representative, William j. Cassidy, received
double honorS; he led a surgiDg, sway
ing mass of more than 5000 persons up the
broad and winding marble stairway,
through a line of blue coats and detectives,
to'the parlors, and with cap in hand ex-
! tended to the hero of Santiago Vermonts
| congratulations. The admiral greeted him |
warmly, and then passed him on to Mrs. |
| Schley and fouc other ladies of the recep-
ton committee, who EN- raced the youth
full Vermonter, an exceptional honor,
doubtless accorded him on account of his
tender years and because of his being a
representative of the far off Green
| Mountain state.
John Kerr's horse ran away last Friday.
1t was icy, and Mr.. Kerr started with his
team from Ovens block to turn by the
water tub, when the sleigh slowed and
threw Mr.. Kerr out. He held on to the
reins and the horse turned around several
times, dragging Mr.. Kerr. Finally the
horse got away from him and ran up be-
tween FL. D. Phillips shop and n. M.
Scott's store, taking a turn around Mrs.
Stones yard, knocking down the pump,
then down across the street, between the
hitching post and Pierce's drug store, and
on down between Ovens block and the
bank, and finally was caught in the field.
The mystery is that the horse and sleigh
could pass between the post and the win
dows at the drug store and not smash
things generally. The sleigh was slightly
injured, but no other damage done.

= Templarism. It's Relation to the Church
+ and Religion" Rev. w. G. Johnson in his
|. response said there should be the closest
: relationship existing between the two;
20 that all Masons and Knight Templars Iiv-
% ing and practcing the teachings of the
4 order must be in the closest sympathy
20 with the work of the church; that Mason :
