Promise Of a Contest Between Mica
rngua and Honduras.

Promise OF = Contest Between Nfea-
rngua and Honduras.
New Orleans, Sept 23.-Advices Of
the expected invasion of the Mica
raguan republic by soldiers from Span
ish Honduras to enforce the country s.
contention that Nicaragua in giving a
concession to a Pittsburg syndicate
granted rights on territory which be-
longed to Honduras reached this city
via the American steamship Breakwa-
ter from Puerto Cortes, Spanish Hon
duras.
Last month a commission headed by
General Ordonez' was sent by Presi-
dent Bonllla Of Spanish Honduras to
Cape Gracias to notify the collector OF
the port there that if the Niearaguan
republic did not recognize certain
rights claimed by Honduras along the
Wanks river, separating Honduras and
Nicaragua, war would be proclaimed
by President Bonilla.
The customs officials and military
authorities at Cape Gracias lacked the
authority to act ia accordance with
Honduras request, 50 General Ordonez
and his colleagues returned TO Teguci-
galpa, warning the Nicaraguans to be
on the lookout for an invasion pro
vided the Hondurian rights were not
respected. President Zelaya on being
notified Immediately garrisoned Cape
Gracias.
Unless an amicable settlement Of the
boundary dispute is effected there is a
strong probability that war will be de
clared.

BENEFITS or a coon STREET

AS the work Of paving Main street with
granite progresses it gives different ap-
pearance to this busy thoroughfare. In
stead Of the succession Of mud holes and
boys there is now surface comparatively
level and with a degree Of cleanliness that
is unusual The city might have kept on
as formerly and allowed wretchedly bad
street to remain and drive away business,
but fortunately it did not. And If we
mistake not the merchants Of Barre have
already seen an increase in their business
simply through this one agency. Barrels
stores are recognized to be as good and as
well equipped as any outside the large cit
les, but ladies', and, indeed, good many
men, do not care to do their trading In a
city which allows its main business street
to continue in the disreputable condition
Of ours Of the past years. So we say that
themerehants Of Barre will not fail to see
an impetus given to trade by this fact
alone. While only comparatively small
section Of the street IS to be paved this
year il Is probable that the work win be
extended.
Impetus to trade, however, is only one
result Of this movement, One other, and
equally as important, result win be a stir
ring up Of civic pride. II the city's front
yard is kept in a neat and presentable con,
dition then the citizens will take pride Ii
seeing that the back yard Is kept In al
good shape. Such a course is sure to fol
low, aud IN an Indirect way the city o.
Barre will be materially benefited there
By. Outside capital win be interested
more homes will belereeted by out 81 town
people and families win be attracted t.
Barre so that their children may have the
advantages o. our excellent public school
system. Many other ways in which the
city will be benefited could be mentioned
but these are the chief ones. The city has
only made a beginning BY doing this work
on Main street, which had already been
delayed too long With this done there
should be decided incentive to further
progress along the same line.

Topeka, Kan, Sept 23-The pay roll
Of the Topeka pension agency for the
last quarter was 100000 less than for
the corresponding quarter last year
This indicates that the tide has turned
and from now on the pension rolls will
decrease. "The only class Of pensions
now increasing is the S12 class said
Captain Drew Of the pension Office.
"This is due to the fact that many sol
diers who have been receiving from SO
to SIS a month are having their pen
sions increased to S12. The SO and SIS
classes are both decreasing. So are the
higher classes-the $50, $40 and $T2"

IA Narrow Escape.

.Richs I'd Bland came down
from Kansas City last night, and
will WISH. his sister, Mrs. Al
Black, several days.
Mr.. Bland was at work on the
Chicago & Northwestern rail-
road jridge across the Kaw rive ,
where he met with an accident
which might have ended his life.
The bridge is a new one, and
has just been completed. The
guard-rails were being put in
place, Monday, and Mr.. Bland
and nine other men were at work
on them. At the time of the
accident, Mr.. Bland was at work
near the middle of the bridge,
while the other men were work.
ing near one end. While he
was at work, train started
across the bridge, and, before he
knew it, the engine was almost
,1pon him. He jumped onto one
tf the stringers under the ties,
and would have been safe there,
but a long, loose bolt on one of
the cars caught one of the guard
rails and swung it around to-
ward Mr.. Bland. He saw it
coming, and swung himself un-
der the bridge. But the guard
rail caught one OF his hands and
badly crushed three fingers. At
ter the train had passed over the
bridge, Mr.. Bland was helped
from his perilous position. He
hunted a physician and had his
fingers sowed up and dressed.
He was "laid off for repairs,
and came to Garrett for rest and
recuperation.

pie So father can come and bring his
whole family.

paises ever attempted in late years is the
production of Uncle Toms Cabinion an
elaborate scale with special scenery,
