crop ruined. Better see my August
forecasts before you conclude what the
corn crop will be.
August is not usually a stormy
month. but some rough weather will
occur about 6, II and "a. Very hot
about 6, very cool, almost cold, about
%, with Northern trosts.
Expect some very dangerous storms
in September. That will be tornado
aud hurricane month. Great extremes
of temperature and rain; from drouth
to flood and from extreme heat to
early frosts. No September OF recent
times has brought greater weather
events. do not hesitate to warn the
people of all civilized countries to re-
main close to good protection and par
ticularly not to venture on the water
By giving heed to these warnings
nothing eau be lest; much may be
saved. Our navy should shelter its
fleets in the best harbors and ships
that must go to sea should prepare for
the worst.
OF course | cannot give the exact
localities of tornado and flood, but l
will closely point out the dates and in
a general way the localities.
My readers know that | am not In
clined to sensational forecasts; that /
have avoided thst style of doubtful
propriety, but ! cannot too strong "
urge the importance of giving heed to
these warnings.

Asartiessly Turned Down.

Probably the most unique argument
ever advanced by a contestant for a
seat in congress is that put forward
by James Seldom Cowdon. who con
tested the seat Of Representative Glass
OF the Sixth Virginia district. In a
letter to Representative Bowie of cleo
tons committee No. he says:
EVERY decent man wants wife
and unless you vote to allow me my
contest fee OF $4,000 l can't get the
woman l want!
May I not appeal to you on the
ground Of 'fellow-feeling to vote In
my favor when your chairman lays
ny claim before your committee?"
The committee has decided to allow
Cowdon nothing.

These are sweet words, but how much
pain And suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much OF the anguish Of child
birth. Mothers friend is IMMINENT to be
applied externally. II is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles Of the abdomen. II gives
elasticity and strength and when the final
great STRAIN comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. II

NEW SCHOOL.
PEOPLE OF JOHANNESBURG
DESIRE ADDITIONAL ROOM.

The board of education will hold a
called meeting. probably this week
some time, TO take action relative to
charging the Mechanicsburg school
building, which is too small for the
pupils " no desire to attend, requiring
them to go long distance to the South
Sixth street school which makes il
very hard ON them especially in cold
weather. 1t Is proposed to build an
other room to the Mechr nicsburg

FOOTBALL CUP.

A. G. Stone, the enterprising jewel
err has generously offered cup to be
competed for by foot bail teams from
three leading preparatory schools of
this section The schools which will
compete for the cup are the Mont
pelier Seminary, Goddard Seminary
of Barre. and ST. Johnsbury Academy.
This triangular league, thus formed
of schools which are classed together
from an athletic point of view, and
which for years have been close rivals
on the gridiron, will add greatly to
the interest in the matches for su-
premacy, in this vicinity, of the pre-
vailing college game of the season. 1t
is probable that the management OF
the schools represented will call it the
Stone cup in honor of the donor.
1t has been suggested by several
alumni of the Seminary and the sug-
gestion will probably be acted upon
favorably, that the managers and cap
tains of the other schools competing
be invited to the Montpelier Seminary
alumni banquet to be held in this city,
September IA, when the conditions
under which the cup will be competed
for will Re announced. Mr.. Stone
will endeavor to, if possible, procure
the oip before the banquet and have
it on exhibition.
The prize will be competed for as fol-
lows: Six games played each year, the
cup going permanently to the team
having the highest average for the
number of games played during the
three seasons. Thus two games with
each school are played a season, one
game with each school on the home
grounds and the other game on the
visiting grounds. The cup will be
held the first year by the team having
the highest average for the season; the
second year by the team having the
highest average for the two seasons,
and permanently by the team having
the highest average for the three years.
In the case of the averages a single
season they are to be played out and
in case of tie averages for the first
two years the cup will be held in
Stones window, waiting to be cap
tured the last year of the contest. A.

THE BOWERS CLAM BAKE.

Professors of various grades and
sorts visit Montpelier and Barre in
years time, but it is doubtful if any
one bearing that elastic title affords
as much genuine pleasure to so many
people in the two cities as does Prof.
Joseph Wilson Of Providence, r. l.,
when he makes his annual visit to
prepare the great clam bake which
the r. @. Bowers Granite Co. gives to
the granite polishers. Prof Wilson's
dusky skin suggests the sunny south,
but he is not a southerner, having first
seen the light in the diminutive State
where he now resides. He is sixty
years old and has spent his life in
river boating and preparing such
repast as chat spread before hungry
and appreciative crowd at the Marvin
farm on Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Bowers had provided every
thing that could be thought of to make
the occasion a happy one as will be
seen from the following list of good
things set before his guests: Eigh-
teen bushels of CLANS, $50 pounds of
Holsters, forty gallons of clam chowd
err, one dozen water melons, green corn
and sweet potatoes in abundance, and
plenty of the necessary "fxin's'' of
various kinds. The repast was served
in large tent and in all about 400
persons sat down to it,. These in
cluded the polishers of Barre and
Montpelier and their bosses, with a
few other guests. The task of serving
this crowd was in the hands of a com
pany of young women, and they did II
splendidly, The Wilder orchestra OF
twelve pieces rendered q fine program
and Mine Host Bowers appeared to be
everywhere at the same time looking
after the welfare of his guests. Il
was we'll toward six clock when the
feast was concluded and Prof. Wilson'S
bed of steaming seq weed was empty
During the repast hearty cheers were
given for Mr.. Bowers. Hon. John
H. Senter was called upon and made
few timely remarks which wer,
loudly applauded. Another rounC
. of cheering was given when the out
come of the Reliance Shamrock rae,
was announced.
The souvenirs this year were pipe
Q and tobacco. This was the eight
annual occasion of this sort given b.
. the Bowers Co., and it has come t.
be regarded by those who attend q
one of the really red letter days of tn
year.

TO BE PROBED.

Washington, Aug 24.-Despite con-
Trajectory statements officially pro-
mulgated by the interior department,
it is clear that complete investiga.
ton of the Indian bureau, the Dawes
commission and possibly the entire
depaI tment is to be made at once, and
as in the post-office affair sensational
disclosures are promised. The prin-
ciple allegations at present seem to be
directed against officials of the bureau
who it is said have been trafficking in
Indian lands and have purchased for
nominal consideration, holdings val
ued as high as twenty-five dollars an
acre and esteemed rich sgriculturally.
Other charges are that members of the
Dawes commission and other officials
are directly interested in land and
trust companies doing business with
Indians, frauds in government con-
tracts, and other gratis.

FIRE At WALLINGFORD.

Rutland, Aug. PA disastrous
fire occurred in Wallingford yester-
day. The blaze started in bakery
owned by l. W. Colburn which was
also used as dwelling by the owner.
This, a barn in the rear and another
large dwelling were totally destroyed.
The village is without any fire protec-
ton but some old hand pumps which
were made of as much service as pos
sible. A bucket line to the creek was
also formed but the efforts were I'M
availing and soon confined to the saw
ing of surrounding buildings. Mr..
Colburn's loss is very heavy, there be.
ing only partial insurance. The
household furnishings in the other
building were nearly all saved.

PLAIN NEW YORK KIND.

Pitts Duffield, New York publisher,
late of Detroit. has taste for the
classics, and not long ago went into
Brentano's for one of Bohn's produc-
tions. He approached an innocent
looking young man presiding over a
counter of modern fiction.
"Have you" inquired Mr. Duffield,
net noticing in what department he
was, "have you 'Plutarch's Morals?' "
81 beg pardon" replied the clerk,
somewhat confused.
Plutarch's Morals, - repeated
Mr.. Duffield. "Have you Pluta rch s
Morals?' -
"Mm-er,' hesitated the clerk, 81

SURPLUS or TEACHERS.

Walter E. Ranger, State superin-
tendent of education, recently sent
out inquiries with view of ascertain
ing how many qualified teachers in
the State had engagements for the fall
terms. He inquired Of the teachers
directly and has received many re-
plies up to date and to Journal re-
porter recently he said the num-
Der Of teachers reported as not en-
aged, and asking for positions was
larger than had been anticipated.
During the past few days the number
of teachers reported without schools
has been greater than the vacancies
reported, the ratio being about ten to
seven. This Mr.. Ranger believes in
dicates the situation as it exists in
the State as a whole. There is an i'm
preston in some parts Of the State
that shortage of teachers exists but
this Mr., Ranger says is erroneous. 1t
is true that directors in many places
find it difficult to hire teachers, but
this is because the wages paid in many
schools are so small that the teachers
won't accept the places. While the
situation is rather a difficult one to
face, Mr.. Ranger believes that all the
schools in the State, even those pay
ing low salaries, will be able to find
teachers for the fall term.

HAD NINETY DAUGHTERS.

st. Louis, Aug. 24.-Fritz Adolphy,
who once had ninety adopted daugh-
tiers, is dead in Clifton, Ariz., where
he had lived for several years. For
many years before that time he had
been proprietor of famous beer gar
den in South St. Louis, in which all
the attendants were women. Adolphy
ignored suggestions from the authori-
ties that his manner of conducting the
business was not quite satisfactory.
Finally the council passed an ordi-
nance forbidding the serving of drinks
by women. Thereupon Adolphy went
into the orphans court with his nine
ty mattresses and adopted them all.
They served him faithfully for many
years

FIELD DAY SPORTS.

Field day sports were held on Sat-
urday afternoon on the common, in the
presence of large number of people
who thoroughly enjoyed the novelty
of the occasion. The weather was all
that could be desired and the blue
skies and the gleep hills blended har-
moniously with-the scene below. The
parade formed at 2 O'Clock on North
Main street with the Mortified Cornet
Band in the lead. Ed Shaw was re-
splendent in bran new uniform for
the occasion and so ably did he per-
from his duties as leader of the pro-
cession, that he won the hearty ap-
prevail of all. After the band came
the fire engines, highly polished and
cleaning and appropriately decorated
for the day. The usual number of
small boys brought up the rear, some
hatless and breathless, which went to
prove that the interest for the welfare
of the town was not abating in the
least among the future members of the
fire department. Arriving at the com
mon the procession halted and the
sports began. The first thing on the
program was the trial of the engines
to see which one could get a stream
first. This resulted in victory for
Torrent No. 2. The 100 yard dash
came next with winners as follows !:
Gget IInr al Il
Howe second, $1.75; w. j. Snow
third, $780, putting the shot, twelve
and one half pounds, W. j. Snow
first, 81. %; NJ. Crowley second, 81. rs !;
Harry Quinlan third, Sl.00; potato
race, fifty feet, Oresta Barr first.
1925; H. Lashua second, $l.75; James
Wood third, $1.00; sack race: Her.
bert Davis first, 2.25; Charles Bing-
ham second, $l.75; Earl Cutting third,
$780, the tug of war between the two
companies was won by No. /. Torrent
No. 2 threw the stream farthest, 172
feet ~ inches Harry O. Moseley
Marshall d. Smith and Heber Cady
acted as judges. j. H. Talbot was
starter. The several selections by the
band were highly enjoyed. This was
the first event of it's kind to occur in
this village and so highly successful
did it prove that it is hoped the sports
may be held again in the near future.
Both companies did good work and
deserve the highest praise for the SER
vice shown. The citizens of North
field should be congratulated on their
valiant fire department force.
