IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Barrels Destructive Fires, Higher Insur-
anee, Unused Y. Barre Water,
Editor Barre Times Five facts stare
Barre citizens in the face.
First fact. For twelve years the city
used East Barre water as ire protection.
Its pressure was exceedingly powerful,
from 100 to 100 pounds to the square inch.
With two inch hose It would throw wa
ter over the highest building, even over
the highest church steeple in the city.
Turned on shingled roof II would tear off
the shingles. It was the best fire protec-
tion in the state. A FIRE must be con-
trolled within the first twenty or thirty
minutes after the firemen begin their work
else the building burns down and the fire.

Fairbanks and Chairman Cortelyou Of th
Republican National convention commit
tee left this morning after evening and
morning conferences with the President
at Sagamore Hill. The veil OF secrecy
which was thrown over the proceedings
last night was not lifted high enough this

and 1t is understood that the Republican
spell-binders will be ordered this fall to
lay particular stress on the confiel be-
tween the Democratic convention and the
