Wanted The Little Ccons.
A dispatch from Washingto.

A dispatch from Washington
says:
president Roosevelt has again
shown that he intends to make
the negro the social equal Of the
white man if it be in his power to
DO so, while he is the President OF
the Uuited States. His latest
action has stirred up the national
capital as nothing else has done
for a long time. \ few days ago
it was intended to give the white
children an outing and permis-
sion was granted for them to
have the grounds Immediately
back of the White House fortheir
play ground, Some Of the table
furniture from the White House
was to be used for them from
which to eat their lunch and the
Marine Rand was ordered to
make music for them. The man
ayers of the outing were delight
ed with tha arrangements, and the
little fellows were in. the seventh
heaven Of expectation. When the
President learned that only whita
children were included in the
programme he issued orders that
all children, including negro
children, we're to be given the
same privileges and allowed to
mig and mingle freely with the
Write children and eat with them
from the White House tables, or
else the whole thing was off.
That settled it and the white
children. hunted other quarters
for their outing. People may
draw their own conclusions"

Check List Revised and the Election Officers
Have Been Named.

The Board of Civil Authority met
Monday to correct the check list to be
used at the special town meeting to be
held February 3, to vote onthe license
bill. The most noticeable feature was
the absence of several who until now
have been active members of the
board. Chas D. Phillips was desig-
mated to administer the freemans oath
to new voters. Fourteen new names
were added to the list and SO notifica-
tions were sent to different parties to
appear before the board and show
cause why their names should not be
stricken from the list.
The polling clerks and assistants
we're appointed. H. A. Lyons pre-
sented a list of names to be appointed
as democrats which the board refused
to consider, as that party was not
second in number OF votes cast, but
they we're subsequently appointed as
local-option officials. The republican
clerks are:-Oliyer Burt, C, D. Green
slit, Geo b. yelling, Geo Moore; as
sistant clerks, w. J. Meagher, Ernest

Remarkable Discovery Alleged To
BE Made BY Readsboro Man.
MOUNTAINS FULL OF 1T
Charles A. Cook Claims To Have Found New
Process Of Getting Out the Flour Cold
Abundant in Valley.

Charles A. Cook, who has been
resident OF Readsboro since last Feb
ruary, and has been interested in the
gold mining prospects of the upper
Deerdeld, claims to have discovered
an entirely new process of EXTRACTING
gold and other precious metals from
the rock existing in that valley.
His process is a secret but he insists
that it will take out the finest particles
of the -four gold and other me ais.
He has been experimenting on tie
process for seven months.
He declares that his process has re-
suited in getting out gold, silver, plat-
mum and copper to the value of So
1888 to the ton. BY treating 10 pounds
8 ounces of ore he secured 5 pounds
and 8 ounces of precious metals. Not
satisfied with this great result and ia
order to satisfy himself, he started in
to make another test of l4O pounds of
ore getting precious metals which
check up much greater than the first
test he made.
He left for New York Tuesday to
have the precious metals parted by the
United States mint to get their report
on the values of the same.
