MONEY IS
ALL GONE
Village Can No Longer Pay
It's Bills
ACCOUNTS AUDITED
But Leaves the Bills To Be Paid
By Board For Next
Year
ACCOUNTS AUDITED

The village trustees can draw no
more orders on the treasurer owing
to lack of funds. The board held an
adjourned meeting at their rooms
Monday evening TO talk over the mat
ter. Pres. Battles was in the chair and
trustees Ayres, Hart, Hutchins and
Cooper were present.
Bills for December and several for
November we're brought before the
board and IL was voted to approve
them but the exhausted conditions of
the treasury makes it impossible to
pay them.
The board will meet each month and
approve the bills thus leaving them in
such way that the next board will
know that the bills ought to be paid
without going to the trouble of look
ing up e.ch one to see if it is correct,
In past years it has usually been
the case that the bills for the months
of February and March have been
left over for the incoming board bu
owing to the amount of work accom-
plished by trustees now in Office the
board elected in March will have to
settle also for December, January and
portion of November.
The bills Monday evening amounted
to about $1,000.
The auditors in making allowance
for next year must ne to consider
the amount which the present board
has been unable to pay or the next
trustees will be short of funds early
In the year.

"'Your eleven inch howitzers. After

General Stoessels opinion. the igno-

CHILD FATALLY BURNED
Little Montpelier Girl Lost Her Lie BY Playing
With Fire,

Montpelier, Jan 8. The three year
old daughter Of MIR and Mrs P. F.
McJannett, OF this city was so badly
burned Saturday afternoon that she
died yesterday. She had been left
with her little brother George at play
in the kitchen and 1t is supposed that
she stuck a newspaper through the
draft In the stove and that her hair
and clothing caught fire from this.
Her mother heard the screams and
rushing in smothered the FIRE with
coat that was hanging in the kitchen
but not until the child's head, face and
one side of her body were so sever
ally burned that she failed TO rally
from the shock. Two years ago the
little boy, George, was so badly
scalded by falling into pail of boil
ing water that he almost died.

MR. GRAVES
MAKES REPLY
Answer To Postmaster Dew
ey's Letter of Dec Is
WILL LEAVEIT TO FOSTER
Declares That He Does not Think
the Two Have More Claim
Than Others

Mr. Arthur j. Dewey,
My dear Mr. Dewey:-In reply
to your letter, published in the Ban.
ner Of December 18th, 1904, will say
that ! am very sorry that you have
thought best to commence an open let
ter contest concerning the matter OF
appointment of postmaster. However,
as you have asked some questions, |
will reply thereto.
| do not remember the exact wording
of Congressman Fosters speech,
substance was, that he would in all
matters do the very best he could. and
that no one could do more, and am
perfectly willing to abide by his judg-
ment in this matter.
AS to leaving the question to a eau
Gus to settle, am personally agree.
able to this plan, provided it is Re-
publican caucus; but the question
arises, what right has either one OF us
TO say how the post Office shall be dis
posed of that to my mind belongs to
the President and Delegation at Wash
ington, and until they request some
steps taken in the matter, ! shall do
nothing.
Again, why should caucus vote
that the office of postmaster must be
given to either of us, and why have
not others an equal right to try for
the position? 1t belongs to neither OF
us as a matter of right, and is it not
fair to assume that an Office paying so
well should have more than two APP
plicants?

Surprised and Captured.

At house on a hill,
On last Saturday night,
Assembled ten ladies,
Quite charming and bright.
They were bent on surprise,
At Fort Norton they hid
In the gloom of the night,
And surprised it they did.
AS they rang the door-bell
With a summons so shrill,
1t awoke all the echoes
That lurked on the hill.
And when the door opened
They all rushed inside,
The Fort just surrendered,
And down went its pride.
But the terms of surrender
Were so tender and kind,
That the inmates and outmates
Were all of one mind.
Both beseiged and beseigers
Then hushed up their CAB,
And somebody telephoned
Down for a cab.
The tall and the short,
All crowded within,
And there was a mix up
OF the thick and the thin.
And away they were whirledt
With squeak and squeal,
To the opera house,
To see Nance O'Neil.
There they captured front seats;
Miss O'Neil was sublime,
And every one said,
"We have had a good time"
And it was resolved
That 1t would not be tedious,
To assemble again at
The hotel, st Regis.
And each swore by her badge,
A bright red carnation,
There we're other surprises
In anticipation.
So they raised their red badge,
And swore by their "Graves, /"
They would follow her banner
Wherever IL waves.
