John Brown Drowned at Barre.

John, the eleven-year-old son of Pat
rick Brown, chief of police of Barre, was
drowned on Tuesday afternoon OF last
week about $50 O'Clock while bathing
in Robinson's mill dam. He was in COM
pany with three young companions, none
of whom could swim. They were doing
stunts in the water by walking out to-
ward the middle. John went too far and
got beyond his depth. His companions
saw him struggling but thought he was
fooling. Soon however, they realized he
was drowning and FASTENED to seek aid
as they could not swim themselves. Aid
was summoned from Gordon's polishing
mill about quarter of a mile distant and
about twenty minutes had elapsed when
they arrived. They recovered the body
and worked over it without avail, as did
the doctors who were also summoned.
John Brown was very bright boy and
had just passed from the sixth to the
seventh grades in school. The funeral
was held Thursday morning and the re-
mains were brought here for burial. Mr..
and Mrs. Brown have relatives and many
friends here who express the sympathy
in this sudden bereavement.

Anti-Saloon League Address.

Rev. George w. Morrow of Burlington,
superintendent of the Vermont Anti
Saloon league, addressed union meet
ing at Music hall, Sunday evening, on
temperance. Judge Walter P. Smith pre-
sided and music was furnished by the
North church choir, including solo by
Miss Somervil1e. The scriptures were
read by Rey. c. R. B. Dodge, prayer was
offered by Rev. ]. M. Frost, after which
Mr.. Morrow spoke for an hour upon the
cause in which he is deeply interested. He
prefaced his remarks by saying that he
never charged more than the law allowed
him as witness fees in his court duties
and that these fees were all turned into
the treasury of the league. Furthermore,
the state organization never had en-
ployed spoilers" in their work. Local
organizations have a law unto them
selves and have sometimes employed
them. He said he felt obliged to explain
these matters. as some of the state press
had put him and his organization in a
false light.
He said the church ought to seek to
create public sentiment against the use
or sale of Intoxicating liquors. He re-

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.
Brief Sketches of the Caledonia
County Republican Candidates.

The harmony of the county convention
is prophetic of large republican vote in
the fall and our county is fortunate in
having named for it's representatives
in the upper house two such estimable
gentlemen as Leighton P. Slack of St.
Johnsbury and Herman P. Simpson of
Sheffield.
Mr.. Slack was born in Woodstock
June IS, 1867, receiving his education in
the Woodstock public schools and Black
River Academy at Ludlow. He studied
law with Hon. S. c. Shurtleff and Judge
Nd. E. Smile at Montpelier, and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1892 During his
years in the academy and while pursuing
his legal studies he taught school success
fully in various towns in Windham and
Washington counties. Soon after his
admission to the bar he located in Barre,
where he formed partnership with F. ].
Martin, Esq. of that city. In 1895 he

Vacation School.
The vacation school under the auspices
of the Womsn's Club will be opened Mon
day, July II at 9 a. m. in the North
building of the Union Schools.
The education committee, through
whose efforts this school has come to
pass, would like to explain it's aims and
strate that such school might be sup
ported in any village successfully. Also
that young people would enjoy as well
as be pro6ted by it. No books are to be
used unless we except the note book each
pupil in the cooking classes will be expect-
ed to bring. The branches taught will be
sewing, basketry, cooking, sloyd Or work
with simple tools, and an occasional
nature study lesson, either in doors or
ont. We hoped to enroll so scholars, al
ready over 16O have applied for admis-
sion from last years fourth grade up
through the ninth. A pumber of these,
however, wish only the cooking lessons.
Definite plans cannot be made till the
school opens, but'the committee and
teachers are agreed on few points.
The cooking classes will not be open to
those under last years seventh grade.
This will enable the teachers to have all
twice week, or at any rate three times
in two weeks. The sloyd'classes are tor
the boys only and there will be two les
sons week. The sessions of the school
will be in the morning, only between the
hours of nine and twelve.
Scholars absent twice without excuse
will forfeit their place in favor of some
who may wish to attend, but have ap-
piled too late to be enrolled at first. Also
scholars who do not care to do well, but
are an annoyance to the teachers and
other scholars. will forfeit their places.
The teachers in sewing and basketry
would be very glad of volunteers to assist
for a few days or longer. Any such
would confer a favor by giving their
names to some member of the educa-
ton committee. We hope to continue
the school six weeks. Education COM

come up before him. He is married and
has one daughter. He will be an active
and useful member of the upper house
and bring to that body strength and
ability.
Hel manP. Simpson, the county's sec
ond senator, was born in Sheffield, July
%, 1860, and from that date until No.
vember, 1888, he has lived on farm.
He was educated at St. Johnsbury
Academy and Montpelier Seminary. In
1888 he went into a store to work for
Folsom & Gifln. where he remained,
with the exception of lew months,
until October, 1888. He then bought
out the senior partners interest in the
firm; the partnership OF Gifhn & Simp-
son was formed and a general store,
was established, of which any country
village may well be proud. In 1899 they
built new 81 ore, 40 by so, with plate
glass 'front.' and modern furnishings inside
northern Vermont.
Mr.. Simpson has been assistant post
master SINCE 1885 and since the town
system went Into effect he has been
school director most OF the time and a
valuable member of the board. He has
been urged many times to accept other
town offices, but tor business reasons de-
clined them. He has been a member of
the republican county committee for the
past two years and represented the town
of Sheffield in the House in 1900 and
1902. He made an excellent record there
and his faithful work elected this word
of praise from the Montpelier Journal:
Caledonia county has an effective and
industrious member in Mr.. Simpson of
Sheffield, who has been successful as a
constructive legislator during the session.
He can talk sense, and does"
Mr.. Simpson will prove a valuable
member of the higher body, bringing to
it an honest desire to serve his constitu-
ents to the best of his ability and legisla-
tive experience.

and evening, about so members from out
of town being present. After the arrival
of the trains the visitors were driven

biles and visits made to the Athenaum
and the Museum. At o clock 70 covers

joiced that the Methodist conference and
the recent Congregational convention at
St. Johnsbury recognized this in the reso-
lutions adopted. The temperance ques-
ton is difficult problem, but the church
must solve it. The Anti-Saloon league
had accomplished some great national
victories. The saloons have been removed
from the House and Senate wings at
Washington they have been removed
from the immigrant stations, and they
have been removed from the army camps.
The speaker congratulated Caledonia
county on her vote two years ago and
said this year three more counties had
come over to her side. He said the way
to get rid of the saloon in Vermont was
to come ont at the polls, and illustrating
the Importance of the individual vote he
cited the tie votes at Underhill and Ply
mouth in the last March election. By
securing a tie vote the saloons were kept
out of the place.
At the close Of an interesting address
Master Uz Cameron of Glover recited
1.-The Old Bay Mare in highly credit
able manner.
