Stones in the Butter.

An extraordinary local fraud has been brought to light at the Fintona petty ses- sions. County Tyrone. A young woman named Rose Galbraith was fined 40c and costs for having fraudulently prepared butter by placing number of large stones in the center of the rolls. It was stated that this practice had been carried on in the district for months past, and that one butter merchant had to pay a claim of Ii pounds made by a biscuit manufactur- CT, because the stones concealed in the butter had smashed the machinery in his factory.

THE ANDERSON CLUB.
J. T. Andrew Made the Principal
 Address.

The Anderson Campaign Club closed its campaign for Charles, P. Anderson last night with an enthusiastic meeting. The fervor of the Anderson supporters did not find full vent in the meeting and after adjournment portion Of the crowd gathered in front of the Anderson head quarters on Commerce Street and repeatedly cheered their candidate. The closing meeting of the club was was organized. Both of the large rooms were comfortably filled with the cheering supporters of Mir Anderson The enthu- siasm reached it's height when in the MT. Anderson expressed it as his firm conviction that he would be nominated Monday and that nc second primary would be necessary. James T. Andrew. who retired from tho race Wednesday and announced his sup port of MT. Anderson. delierved the longest address of the evening. He was repeatedly interrupted with applause.
 His reception by H the e, club sSs oro~s was laughing by his account of the troubles of candidate for Mayor of Montgomery and he closed with song aimed at the campaign liar.
 The club meeting was called to order by the President, w. w. Pearson. who told the club that he had expected to have General W. C. Oates with them.
 but General Oates was suddened called
 to Washington. He assured the club that General Oates was in hearty accord
 with the club in its desire to have MT.
 Anderson elected Mayor of Montgomery.
 He announced that the meeting was ready for business.
 and 1t soon made known its desire. The speaking began with short address by
 W w. Blakey, who said that he had
 been a friend of James T. Andrew, but since his retirement he was supporter of MT. Anderson.
 . In response to calls, MT. Andrew, in a warm and eloquent speech. declared him. seit a supporter of MT. Anderson to the last. He was assured, he said, in the election of MT. Anderson Of the triumph of the principles which he had advo- cated, and for which he had labored. He satd that he was convinced that MT. Anderson would make a progressive. eco- nomical and aggressive Mayor, an offi- ciaI with the backbone to do the right as he saw 1t.
 President Pearson. paid a tribute to MT. Anderson. He, spoke of his integrity, his devotion to principle and his strong char acter. He depiored the facts that the supporters of some of MT. Anderson 8 opponents had found 1t necessary to re- sort to islander to bolster up weaken- ing cause.
 Short speeches were delivered by 0. c. Maner, J. b. Cody, E. F. Baber, Dr. G. A. Dennis. J. H. Wilson and others
 The crowd refused to disperse until 1t had heard from its candidate. MT. An derson spoke briefly but earnestly. He desired, he said, to thank Lnose present for the loyal support hey had accorded him.
