he said in substance: 81 am a

situation wit hthe knowledge that he
was talking to one not committed to
his candidacy. He talked OF the
great work he had been permitted to
perform for good government in
prosecuting boodlers, with which our
people are familiar through the

impressed with his sincerity and
honesty OF purpose. We assured
him that our people would accord

In the death OF Albert C. Spauld-
ing, Burlington loses one OF her
substantial business men and man
who probably had as wide an ae-

as any man in the city. Mr.. Spauld-
ing died at 7;10 last evening after an
illness OF several weeks, his first at
tack being pneumonia, which later
developed into typhoid and from
which he was unable to rally. His
condition during the illness has been
varied, his rallying spells being fire.

friends with hope and for the past
few days, until a few hours before his
death, there had been such marked
Improvement in his condition that

BILE, His brother, Ernest j. Spauld-
ing, was in Europe but upon receiv.
ing word that MIR. Spaulding was
seriously i'll, sailed for home on the

ing, During his early manhood he

ture. Later the senior members Of
the firm retired and came to Burling-
ton and Mr.. Spaulding continued the
business alone. While a resident OF
Jericho Mr.. Spaulding was one ofthe
substantial citizens OF the town and
secured and retained the good will
and respect OF all with whom he came
in contact.
About Is years ago Mr.. Spaulding
came to Burlington and became q |
partner in the firm OF Van Sicklen, |
Seymour & Co., the firm name being |

tional Bank.
Aside from being prominent in
business lines, Mr.. Spaulding was we'll
known in social circles, being a mem
ber Of the Alonquin and Ethan Allen
clubs. 1t was in politics that Mr..
Spaulding was especially known.
urged to accept the nomi
nation of every city office within the
yift OF the Republican party in Bur-
ington, Mr.. Spaulding constantly
declined to accept, and put in all his
Efforts to secure the election Of some

Spaulding is survived by a wife and

Hand Bill VS.. Newspaper.

When handful is dropped at the
door, do you see three member of
the family rush for it at once? Do
they clamor good natnredly for the
first perusal of a dodger? Does
mother divide it into parts; give one
part to father, another to Willie,
still another to Susan, and keep the
adv. part herself? Do they drop in
to easy chairs and read that hand
bill through from the northeast cor
ner to the southwest angle? Do
they ever and anon break forth in
'ahs!" and ,'ohs" and read an ex-
tract for the benefit of the whole
listening coterie? Do they? Not
on your tin-type, Horatio. The
first one that finds that handbill
mutters an imprecation of dissatis-
faction, crumbles it into a wad and
throws it into oblivion. Don't they?
You know they do because you have
been angry yourself at finding your
front porch all Uttered with varied
colored paper. No use talking, no
use arguing against this gospel:
The man who puts his ad. in the
home paper is the man who gets here.
