The annual report of Supt. G. w.
Morrow of the Vermont Anti-Saloon
league, who has just resigned, con-
tains the following paragraph about
Windham county: 'Windham county
lost in many towns by sheer unwill-
ingness to do open, aggressive work
for redemption. We look for better
things. Brattleboro and Putney Will,
without much question, vote no.
Dunlmerston was unjustly counted
out last March, so will make sure this
time to give a good majority against
the local saloon. From an even vote
in 1903, the no vote forged ahead 500
in 1904"

An interesting rumor that has
gained somewhat extensive circuda-
ton in town this week is to the effect
that Emil Pollak of Boston, an artist
who is we'll known here and whose
wife was Miss Blanche Carpenter OF
Brattleboro, has been identified as the
missing arch-duke of Austria, Johann
Orth, who left that country about
ten years ago for America and was
supposed to have been lost at sea. 1t
is said that Mr.. Pollak has been rec
ognized as the duke by those in po-
sition to know and that the story IS
not disputed by him. The duke left
Austria because of an unhappy love
affair. If diving, there are but two
successors to the imperial throne VINO
take precedence of him. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pollak are now in Boston.
