The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1903-10-14

The Rutland News throws this at its
city: Rutland seems to be in a fair way
to gain the proud distinction Of being con
sidered the Boston Of the Green Noun
tains, & and al on account Of the fact that
a travelling theatrical manager condded
IN confidential whisper that the people
OF Rutland were more familiar with
Shakesperian drama than the residents Of
any other place in the state Good for
Rutlandl We bad long been hoping that
something might turn up 10 counteract
the none-too-good reputation which that
city has been acquiring But now that
the subtle influence Of the Shakesperian
drama has taken hold Of the residents Of
Rutland there Is hope Of better things
We congratulate the ''bean-eaters' of
Vermont on their proud distinction.

London, Oct. H. Baron Hayashi, tile
japanese minister here. has received
reassuring news from Japan with ref
erence TO the situation in the far east.
He says that his dispatch indicates
that there Is no need whatever for
alarm and adds that the message was
not reply to anything lie had cabled,
50 he thinks it was probably sent be-
cause Of the aiaFmist rumors which
have been in circulation in Europe and
which finally reached Japan.
The whole trend Of the latest infor-
nation regarding the far eastern sit.
uation has been less alarming. The
Frankfurter Zeitung, whose sensation
al announcement OF the occupation OF
Masanpho by Japan occasioned dis
quiet, publishes a telegram from
Shanghai saying there is no connrma-
ton Of the reported occupation of that
place, adding that the Russo-Japanese
negotiations at Tokyo concerning the
evacuation Of Manchurla give the i'm
preston that the political situation in
Japan is quiet
The Koelnische Zeitung also prints a
reassuring telegram from st. Peters
burg, repeating a telegram from Port
Arthur, stating that yiceroy Alexieff
has issued a contradiction Of the RS.

The Maury county election commits
sioners held meeting Wednesday after

for the purpose of organizing and. trans
acting other important business. Mr..
T. G.. Hughes was unanimously elected
chairman OF the commission, and Mr.. W.
W. Dyer, the republican member, was
chosen Secretary.
The matter of holding an election on
August 6, for the purpose of electing
district school directors throughout
the county was brought up and discuss
ed at considerable length. The COM
missioners finally decided that they
would not hold the election, because
the time for the opening of the regis
tration books according to law had
expired and there was now not the
sufficient time that is legally required.
The law says the books shall be open
three days and one day for corr; citing,
twenty. one days before the day of cleo
ton.
In regard to the question of holding
an election on the new court house

to hold another meeting in Columbia on
next Monday, July 20, for the purpose
of discussing the matter and deciding
what they will do. 1t is very likely that
the commissioners will act in accordance
with the wishes of the Quarterly Court
