Reaching the Pole.

Explorer Peary's lecture recently given
before the American geographical society
in New York contained a re-atlirmation
of his belief that the discovery of the
pole is well within the bounds of pos
sibility. From his years of experience
in the polar region, he summed up the
entire problem of polefnding in this
compact and stimulating little passage:
THE man who can secu9 a starting
point in early spring ON the northern
coast of Grinnell land, who has with
him the proper party, and the proper
equipment and experience. will hold
within his grasp the last geographical
prize that the earth has to offer. the
prize which will rank with the prize
which Columbus won for himself and
his countrymen-a fame which will last
as long as human life exists on the
globe Lieut. Peary has announced
MS permanent retirement from the field
of artic exploration, but he is the one
American of all others who ought to
win this Immortality

THE TOWN MEETING.
Important Articles to Be Acted Upon
in Addition to the One Referring to
sale Of intoxicating Liquors.


Tnc warrant for the annual town meet
ing Marcn has been posted. The irst
article in the warrant, although it is
uot numbered, is shall licenses be
granted for the sale of Intoxicating liz
uors I'm this town." Article is; TO
see if the town will vote to have one or
two road commissioners. 1t is the
contention of some that two road com
missioncrs. each having oversight of
different sections Of the town, would re-
suit IN more satisfactory roads. Article
Is reads TO see If the town Will vote TO
amend article s, section 1, of an ordin-
uncc relating to the Brattleboro Free
library, so as to permit residents in ad-
joining towns of Vermont to use the
library upon payment of a suitable Zee.
The trustees of the library frequently
receive requests from non-residents ask
ing the privilege of taking books from
the library, but the ordinance referred TO
prevents them from doing so. Article .
is. TO see If the town will appropriate
money for the care of the commons If so
how much At the last March meeting
it vas voted to accept from the Estey
organ company the Fuller Park in Es-
teyville, which makes necessary an ad-
ditonal appropriation for its care. Ar
ticle u is: TO sees If the town will APP
prove of laying surface drainage pipes on
the southern portion of Central and High
land streets" To those familiar with
that section of the town the need of sur
face drainage is readily apparent The
text of article 10 is. ITO see if the town
will adopt the Australian system of vot-
ing at their annual meetings" This
question has been brought up in town
meeting several times and the moderator
always has explained that In order TO
have it voted upon 1t would be necessary
to have an article to that effect inserted

RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Worst Wreck on the Narrow
Gauge in Several Years.

Pickup Crew Lost Control of Train
on steep Grade in Newfane-En-
tire Train Down Embankment-
Several Men Injured.
A runaway train on the narrow
gauge railroad Friday afternoon re-
suited in the most serious wreck as
regards both property loss and loss
in business that the road has sus-
tanned for several years. The loco
motive was badly damaged, five
freight cars were smashed so that
some of them will be burned in order
to get them out of the way, and traf-
fic was crippled there being but one
engine left with which to do all the
freight and passenger business. The
train was an extra and was loaded
with lumber.
After the passenger train from
South Londonderry arrived in Brat
tleboro in the morning the engine
and a picked-up crew were sent to
West Townshend, where the loaded
cars We're waiting, there being six in
all The crew consisted of George
Clough, regular fireman on the pas
senger train, who was assigned to the
post of engineer; c. A. Larrabee, fire
man on the Central Vermont road,
who acted as fireman; Frank Snay,
who has been employed on the trans
/ fer force, who handled the brakes;
and H. p Reed, narrow gauge baggage
master who was conductor and as
sisted at the brakes.
Between Newfane and Williams
Vile is a steep grade, the descent be-
ing about $50 feet to a mile. The
men were new in their positions and
the cars were not equipped with air
brakes. In going down the grade the
train got beyond the control of the
men. The air brake on the engine
(this brake is reported to have been
out of order) and the hand brakes
on the cars were set, but in spite OF
them the train continued to gain head
way until a curve was reached, by
which time the speed attained was
very great On striking the curve
the entire train left the track, the
engine and five cars went down a 10
foot enbankment and the sixth can
was left on the edge of the embank
ment but was pushed off when the
next train came. The engine was
left on its back. the cars were thrown
in all directions and the lumber was
scattered a long distance.
All the men were hurt, but Engineer
Clough and Conductor Reed more
than the others. Engineer Clougf
was pinned under the engine and haC
his left arm broken. His RICH
ankle was badly injured but was no
broken as was thought at first. Con
ductor Reed has his back hurt so tina
he has been confined in bed 1t i:
reported that two cars went over hin
after he struck, the ground. Tit
engine was taken out of the wrecl
Sunday and brought to Brattlebor'
Sunday night. 1t has been sent t.
the repair shop in st. Adams.
The wreck left the road in ba(
condition for business. One of thu
engines had been in the repair shol
only a few days, and as the road ha

Prof. Dewey of the Massachusetts, In

he says the average college student

as the Tech student comes out with a.
clear sky under which he can see his

that admirably illustrates the difference
between classical and technical educa-

washing Out the AlkaIi.

The Northwestern Agriculturalist
says that extensive work is being plan
ned by the government, to wash the
alkali out of western lands by a sys-
tenn of irrigation. Alkali-infected
land is excellent for crops provided
the alkali can be disposed of, and it
has been found by experiment that
this car be done by tile draining the
land and then flooding it. The water
sinks down and flows off through the
tiles, carrying the alkali with it. The
land is literally washed, as a soiled
garment is laundried. The cost
when the work is done on a small
scale, averages about 500 an acre.
There are 1000, 900 acres of alkali
land in the Dakotas and Montana

INVESTIGATION on

Grand Forks Herald: A great
many North Dakota bonanza wheat
farms are being quite rapidly turned
over into diversified farmers, and the
change is being made after muca
reflection.
Among the notable changes of the
kind is that of ex-Congressman Nj. n.
Johnson, who has some few thousand
acres of fine land adjoining Peters
burg. However, in this instance Mr..
Johnson has been working along the
same line for several years, and always
with satisfactory results to himself.
A Herald la called upon the ex-con-
gresham the other morning and
fond at his elegant modern home and
chatted Familiarity upon many phases
of farm life, showing himself well ac-
quainted with the work in all depart
ments.
At the present time As COWS are be-
ing MIXED and the butter is shipped
to Grand Forks and eastern cities,
where it commands fancy prices.
Mr.. johnson says that at present the
income from his stock is $3.50 per
month. This allows for the increase
in value each month for the animals,
live in weight.
Last year the Johnson farm and ad-
jacent territory was struck with a
terrific hail storm and the stock inter-
ests were the sole income on this =
formerly a wheat farm, yet $4,000 was
realized from this source. The stock
interests have pulled many a mar off
soft spots.

New Cure for Lockiaw.

Minneapolis Tribune: Hypodermic
injections Of carbolic acid is a ure
for tetanus, recently discovered by
DR.. Patterson, of Lisbon, N. D. The
young scr of T. A. Curtis, Of that city,
was successfully treated in this man
ner last week.
He had stepped on a rusty nail, and
in twelve days lockjaw set in. DR.. Pat
terson was called. None of the stand
ard remedies could be obtained at any
of the drug stores, SO the physician
determined to try hypodermic injec-
tions of carbolic acid.
In less than a week the boy was
cured.
This discovery is startling to the
medical world. Such a method of ad.
mi~nistering to tetanus patients has
never been thought of, much less tried.
Some Minneapolis physicians are in
clined to doubt that the boy a af1ict
ed with tetanus, as they do not be
lieve carbolic acid could cure that
disease. However, they admit that the
wound caused by a rusty nail is one
of the most frequent causes of thi:
disease.
The fact remains that the child wal
nearly dead from an illness, ever!
symptom of which bespoke tetanus
and was cured rapidly and complete
ly by carbOlic acid.

 During one of Huntington visits to the coast some time before his death clerk from the general auditors rnice was sent to the president with a bus mess message. Blank, the clerk, had no trouble in reaching Huntington's quarters, but upon entering found the greatfinancier stretched out on a lounge, sound asleep. Blank figured that it would not do 10 arouse the sleeping magnate. SD he waited. An hour elapsed before Huntington a~ak- cned.
 Young man how long have you been waiting?' demanded Hunt;ugto after BBlank stated his cTrand.
 An hour MT. Huntington was the reply.
 Well. sir; why didn't you wake me. sir?" asked the multi millionaire. The Southern Pacific Company cannot af- ford to have you waste an hour of your
