A VISIT may be looked for in few
days from the state board of railroad
commissioners, making their annual trip
over the road. This passing glimpse of
these poor overworked officials of the
people is OF little or no consequence.
Their past record shows that they have
never done anything to earn the compen-
sation of the useless office.

The democratic platforms of 1896 and
1900 contained no essentially populistic
or socialistic doctrine. The party as a
matter of fact has never attracted So
cialistic support, but the platforms
adopted at Chicago and Kansas City did
attract hundreds of thousands of former
republicans to the democratic ticket.

The general rain which prevailed over
the western part of the state Sunday
has done all that was required to insure
big crop of all small grains sown on
breaking late this season. This was the
only portion of the crop that was in any
way badly in need of moisture and the
rainfall of nearly an inch has put it past
any danger point.

SUPPOSED ELoPEMENT.
Sidney R. Temple, Formerly Of Bennington,
Said to Have Taken Another Mans Wife.

Said to Have Taken Another Mans Wife.
Sidney r. Temple, a blacksmith,
formerly of Woodford and this town,
has come into notoriety by running
away, it is alleged, with Mrs John b.
Golf Of Savoy, Mass, who also took
young child with her Mr. Golf has
good farm in Savoy and says that be
and his wife never bad any serious
trouble but occasionally dispute.
He knows no reason why she should
leave bin, only the influence of the
other man.
Tenn lie, who is about 55 years Of
age, left here about three years ago
and went to Savoy with his wife. They
had been living in the Guideboard
district. He started blacksmith
shop ard was apparently doing a good
business. They boarded for while at
hotel in Adams, but finally she re-
turned to bennington where she has
since resided with daughter
Temple was here three weeks ago,
and with his wife, transferred some
property that they had 10 Savoy, each
taking one half of what it brought.
Mr. Golf in an interview said that
three years ago he was married to his
wife whose Christian name is Angus
ia, ana that they had lived more or
less happily until recently when an
other man began paying her attention.
Thursday he had some words with
his wife and she finally announced
that she was intending to leave him.
She denied that she was going with
the other man, but that night both of
theu we're missing from the little town
of Savoy, and so was the child, about
two years old.
Mr. Golf spent the evening in Adams,
making the round of the hotels and
other places, where they might have
gone, but was unable to get any trace
of them. Then he went to North
Adams.
"5he and the baby are gone" be
said, "and while do not know posi-
lively that this man has gone with
her, circumstances point that way. |
shall look no farther for them, but
shall return home to-day and let them
60 their way, ="
1t was learned Friday that Temple
hired of liveryman in Adams two
teams. With the drst one be drove to
Savoy and returned with Mrs Golf and
her child, it is alleged, aud then en-
gagged another team.
The second team be hired was two
seated carriage and be had driver
who drove them over the Vermont line
but the exact destination could not be
learned. This team was engaged
about midnight Thursday and was not
returned to the stable until several
hours afterwards by the driver.
