A SwindIer Caught.

Harry L. Moore OF this place was the
victim of clever swindle while in Dover,
N. H., last month and he followed up
the case and had the man arrested. The
man gave his name to him at his first
meeting in Dover as w. Howard, though
Mr.. Moore has since found out that he
has one or more aliases and has operated
on others in the same manner.
On March 5 Mr.. Howard met Mr..
Moore and represented that he was an
agent of the Globe publishing company
OF Chicago and in need of collectors.
Moore met him at the Broadway hotel,
Dover, March 5, and engaged to act as
a collector for the company. Before Che
deal was completed, however. Howard
told Moore that the company required
him to obtain a deposit of $1OO from
each collector engaged, as security for
the company's money that would be in
their hands. The requirement seemed
reasonable, and as Moore believed How
ard to be bona fde representative of
the Chicago house, he handed over to
him the $1OO.
Howard left town early the next
day, unknown to Moore, who soon sus-
pected that he had been swindled, and
wrote to the Chicago concern for infor-
nation concerning Howard. The reply
came that Howard was in no way con-
nected with the company. Moore swore
out the warrant tor Howard's arrest as
soon as he learned This. In the meantime
Moore returned to st. Johnsbury.
Mr.. Moore went TO Dover last week to
appear against Mr. Howard and the case
was postponed until April 26 at Mr.
Howard's request. There is no question
as to the mans guilt and Mr.. Moore
expects to be able to secure his convic-
tion and also get his money back.

Experiments In Seed Growing.

The pupils in the ninth grade in the
Summerville schools have been making
some interesting experiments in agricul-
ture this term and obtained some
unusual results in forcing the growth of
the seeds. Corn, squash and peas were
planted and then forced by plenty of
water, the warmth of the schoolroom
and the suns rays. A squash plant
grew 3s4 inches in three days after it
was planted, pea vine grew three
inches in as many days, and corn grew
at the rate OF an inch a day for the first
three days. The bean stalks did not
grow as rapidly, but interesting results
were obtained. The pupils have made
excellent drawings Of their experiments in
growing seeds while you wait"

District Convention at rIontpeIier.

The convention held at Montpelier yes
trict committee, and Curtis S. Emery of
Chelsea was chosen chairman. E. A.
Mutt of Montpelier and Frank d, Thomp-
son of St. Johnsbury were chosen secre-
taries. letter was read from Con-
gresham Haskins, explaining his absence
due to important business at Washing
ton, but urging all republicans to give
their loyal support to Roosevelt, to bury
all differences in state politics and roll
up a big majority for governor in Sep
tember.
The first delegate to the Chicago con-
vention was Senator Downer Of Sharon,
who was nominated by ]. c.. Enright of
Windsor. On behalf of Caledonia county
his nomination was seconded by Lawyer
W. A. Dutton of Hardwick.
The second delegate nominated was
James F. Hooker of Brattleboro, who
was nominated by Mr.. Gibson of Brat
tleboro. On behalf OF Caledonia County
this nomination was second. by F. D.
Thompson of St. Johnsbury.
The delegates were instructed to vote
for Roosevelt for president
The alternates elected were George F.
Leland of Springfield and F. e. Miles of
Newport.
The convention only lasted 80 minutes
and was simply ratification meeting
throughout.
Some OF the friends of H. E Folsom of
Lyndonville are urging his name for
delegate-a at-large, but he refuses to allow
his name to be used.
Congressman Haskins would like to be
candidate if there is no contest, but as
the presentation OF his name would cause
contest bet tween him and Mr.. Turner
it is not probable that his name will be
presented at the state convention at
Burlington today, and the four delegates
will stand as already announced.

RECENT DEATHS.
Fullingsen.

Lindley M. Fullington died at the St.
Johnsbury Hospital early Friday morn
ing, OF pneumonia, after an illness of less
bridge, Nov. %, 1887. His boyhood
was spent in Johnson and his education
obtained at Johnson Academy. He was
married in 1873 to Miss Lydia Andrews,
who died in 1898. In early life he was
engaged in the lumber business and for
the last 13 years he has been resident
of st. Johnsbury. He had been engaged
in the insurance business with Charles S.
Hastings for ten years and was in Mr..
Hastings employ at the time of his
death. He IS survived by three children,
Miss Angeline, of Providence, r. l.. Moses,
of McGill University at Montreal, and
Atwood of EImira, N. Y. The body was
taken to Johnson. Friday, accompan-
led by his brother-in-law, Hon. S. A.
Andrews. Miss Fullington and Moses
Fullington, all three of whom arrived
here before his death. The funeral was
held at the home of Mr. Andrews,
attended by Rev. e. G. French. pastor of
the Congregational church at Johnson, of
which Mr.. Fullington had been a mem
ber for nearly 40 years. Among the
floral tributes was one contributed by
the North Congregational Sunday school.
Mr.. Fullington was man of parts
whose natural modesty almost obscured
his true worth. He spent himself for
others, laying up treasures in heaven
rather than on earth. He will be sorely
missed by circle of friends who greatly
valued his friendship. He was one of the
active workers in the North church,
being a regular attendant at the Sunday
services and active in the weekly prayer
meeting, and was also teacher of the
mems class in the Sunday school. The
family and all his friends have the blessed
memory of man who was faithful to
the end, and his works do follow him.
Gammell.
Hon. A. B. Gammell, relative of R.
Burns Gammell of Danville, died at his
farm near Bethany, Pa, Saturday,
April 2, while doing his customary even
ing work at the stables. He had been
for some time subject to an affection OF
the heart, but his ruddy complexion,
rugged appearance. and habitually jovial
nature, did not suggest any such affec-
ton to his family nor friends in general.
His sudden death came as great sur
prise and shock to all. Mr.. Gammell
was born in Barnet, August 16, 1921,

who gave his children all the educational
advantages which the schools of those
days provided. When 17-years old he
made a visit to his grandfather, Hugh
Gammell. resident of Pennsylvania,
and while there he taught school, and
also taught on his return to Barnet, a
few years later. He later returned to
Pennsylvania, teaching again. and over
20 years of his life were spent in this
occupations. He eventually engaged in
lum bering and farming on quite an ex
tensive scale, and for several years was
proprietor of a hotel. after which he
retired to his farm on which he died. He
is survived by his wife, son, Emerson
w. Gammell, of Bethany, Pa, and two
daughters.

WRONG TRACK

E. Watson, of Georgia, for president
and Thomas H. Tibbles, of Nebraska,
for vice president was the ticket nomi-
mated by reclamation Tuesday by the
populist national convention The
names of William " Allen, uf Nebras-
ka, and of Samuel w Williams, of In
diana, were placed before the conven-
ton for president, but before The list
of states had been completed in the
roll call their names were withdrawn,
and Watson was nominated by accla-
nation.
Former Senator Allen made good
his word that he would not enter into
any scramble for the nomination, and
while the nominations were making he
twice instructed the chairman of the
Nebraska delegation to say that his
name must rot go before the conven-
ton. But, in the face Of this, Allen
received more than 400 votes, and
many believe he would have been
nominated had he given his consent to
be candidate
Williams, of Indiana, who worked
harder for the nomination, and who
made more claims than any one else,
made poor showing, and, when his
own state was called, II Of the "a DEL
egates refused to support him. voting
for Allen. He soon withdrew in favor
of Watson and moved to make the
nomination of Watson unanimous

A j. MalIett, of Texas. was chosen
permanent chairman. The committee
on credentials wrangled many hours
on, the question as to whether one
man should be permitted to cast the
vote of an entire state, when a state
had only one delegate in the conven-
ton. and being unable to agree, it was
referred to the convention where it
was wrestled with until past the noon
hour. The delegates favoring a fu,I
vote carried the day.
The platform adopted is a reafjrma-
ton of the Omaha platform of 1902.
