Republican Caucus.

All Republican voters should attend
the caucus at the town hall this Friday
evening to elect five delegates to the
State Republican convention at Mont
pelier June 30, and also 10 delegates to
the Republican county convention at
lIiddebury. June l6.
We believe our Republican voters will
be unanimous in the support of Elk Gov.
Stewart as senator from the southern
district, and indeed all of the voters in
the town, we believe, will be practically
unanimous in his support, as the ques-
ton Of party scarcely enters into his can
didacy. Mr.. Stewart will 20, because
the people feel that a man of large legs-
lative experience and superior natural
and legal abilities is especially needed at
this time to assist in framing and guiding
legislation that will be of great impor-
lance to the welfare of the State.

A Twenty-fifty Anniversary.

The home of Mr.. j. NJ. Bosey was the
scene of very enjoyable affair on the
evening of May 90, 1904, the occasion
being the 25th anniversary of the mar
riage of Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Bosley.
A neighbor did great credit in bringing
about the surprise and getting together
about forty friends and neighbors, owing
to the bad weather. At an early hour
the house was well lighted and every
thing moved along tremendously. When
everything was ready and some degree
of quiet had been obtained Mr. and Mrs.
Bosley were asked to come into the
parlor when Arthur Eddy presented
them with two beautiful presents, clock
and toilet set. Then ice cream and cake
were passed. The old visited and the
young passed off the evening at dane
ing, returning home at an early hour
the next morning wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Bosley many happy returns of the day.

An Exa m Pile of Worth.

News of the death of Fred n. Spauld-
ing, who served a stationery firm of
Hartford, Conn, coming through this
county twice each summer, has reached
this section. Many persons will be
saddened to learn that he will come no
more.
Men and women of good physical con-
dition have reason to blush for a lack of
energy, when contemplating his stirring
life. Not only was Mr.. Spaulding's back
badly misshapen,' and his lower limbs
entirely useless, but he suffered con-
stantly from i'll health. He was about
80 years of age, yet his size was only
that of twelve-year-Old boy, He
moved along over the ground by the aid
of his clutches nearly as fast as an ordin-
AIRY walk and climbed with agility to the
top of his high business wagon
One who saw his keen bright eyes
and well shaped head knew that, how
ever weak he may have been physically,
his mind was thoroughly active and
alert
He had been in several successful
enterprises, but was known here as the
itinerant stationery man. Although he
was extremely reticent on the subject,
1t is said that he amassed considerable
property.
He drove about through the country
towns upon a large cart with a high
seat. His horse was powerful animal
over which he had perfect control. He
frequently passed through, while driv-
ing, what even strong man would
consider tight places" yet was pre-
pared for any emergency, showing, it
may be, the power of mind, even though
placed in frail body.
As regularly as the seasons came. he
served his old and many new customers,
which included many merchants. His
shrewdness prevented an avaricious
person from imposing upon him; but he
resented any patroniziDg because of his
bodily condition.
Several years ago he took a course of
study at the Troy Business College. He
was good conversationalist, being up
to-date on all topics, with decided and
well formed opinions. He held liberal,
optimistic view of life.
Gathering group of children about
him at one Of his stopping places. he
amused them by making sketches of
birds and animals, showing considerable
talent. He was also something of a
musician, entirely by his own efforts.
Owing to his feeble health he spent
several winters in Florida. Once he
drove there, pursuing the interests of his
trade, being held up on the way by
hghwayman. He afterwards wrote
book describing the incidents of his
Journey and stay.
Considering his condition, the most
remarkable thing about him was the
note of enthusiasm which ran through
all his tones, and his unusual cheerful
ness which was contagious.
Surely if man so hampered by physi-
cal deformity could become a bright.
cheerful, well informed business man,
others, who are strong, should learn to
ignore minor difficulties. We all bow in
admiration before the life Of such a
man. Is

Logan, Nov. 10.-Practically COM
plete returns from Harrison county
give l.. w. Fallon for county attorney
majority of about 500 over Bolter, the

during the campaign that Tom Dem
nison, the Omaha gambler who is
fighting against extradition to this
county on the charge Of completely in
the Pollock diamond robbery, was fur
nishing money with which to conduct
a fight against Fallon and the cam
paign became very bitter towards the
end.
Just prior to the election Better the
democratic candidate issued a letter
in which he emphatically denied that
Dennison or any of his crowd were aid
ing in his canvass and pledging him
self to do all in his power to bring Den
nison to trial in this county should he

ton of Fallon gives much satisfaction

Inventory Filed by the Executors
Shows the Estate to be Worth Be-
tween $2,5oo,ooo and 100000.

Des Moines, Nov 1O.-Under the will
of the late James Callahan, which was
probated today, the Callahan executors
win have the management and ddspo-

owned by the Mexican National Iron
and Steel Company. Mr.. Callahan was
the f1nancier of the company. He In

made the mine a paying investment.
Mr. Claimants notes of the company,
amounting to $3S6,00O, will be worth
close to million If the mines are sold

SHELBY COUNTY LANDSLIDE.

Roosevelt's Majority 720-Fairly Quiet
Election at Harlan.
Special to Times Republican.
Harlan, Nov. 10.-Tuesday's land
slide extended to Shelby county also,
Roosevelt's majority being 720. Con-
gresham Smith carried the county by
SIT, and the following are the major
tiles for the republican county ticket,
the entire ticket being elected: George
S. Croft, auditor, 459; William Hayes,
clerk, 440; C. M. Christensen, record
er, 1879; E. s. White, attorney, 1853; d.
L. Edwards, member Of the board, 1872.
McKinley's majority in this county in
1900 was 172. 1t will thus be seen that
there has been q wonderful change in
the vote of the county. The election
here was fairly quiet one, but it was
practically conceded that the demo-
Gratis would elect George Stewart, their
candidate for recorder, and Barney
Gregory, their candidate for member Of
the board. While these men were
popular and ran ahead of their ticket
the large republican majority on the
head Of the ticket saved our men.
