WOODSTOCK COUNTRY CLUB

Buys the Townsend Farm and il
Now at Work Improving the Prop
erty-WiIl Have a 3,000-YarC
Golf Course.
The Woodstock Country Club has
recently bought the meadow and
farm of Stephen D. Townsend, adj
joining its grounds, for $4,000
and has already began the work of
improving the new property.
The plan for the acquision of adj
ditional land was first considered at
the annual meeting of the club, held
in August. At a second meeting, in
view Of the necessity of larger and
better golf links, a committee was
appointed to negotiate for the pur-
chase of more land, with the result
as above stated.
The deal is ono OF the most I'M
portant real estate transactions that
has taken place here in many years,
and may mean much to the village
in the purchase of adjoining sites for
summer cottagers and in other i'm
provements that would naturally fol-
low.
The Townsend farm consists of |
about 40 acres, including tho mead
ow running south fran Vail field,
nearly half a mile, a wood lot of a
fow acres and the Company" pas
ture Of about sixty acres, running to
the top of Bailey's hill
With the present property, the club
now has about 225 acres of meadow,
pasture and woodlend.
The new golf course was laid out
by Willie Tucker, the Ardsley club
professional, and will be about 5000
Yards long, A force of men is now at
work on the meadow, ditching, now
ng and rolling the land and
making green's for next season, when
t is expected that the ground will be
'eady for play.

Goshen Bear Fools a Hunter.


]. Martin Rivers had an exciting
experience with family Of bears in
Goshen, during which he shot the
mother and one of the cubs. Riv-
ers had shot a deer when he discov-
cred the bears and fired, bringing
down a cub. The old bear started
for the hunter, who fired twice, each
bullet taking effect and the animal
fell, apparently dead.
VIM. Lombard, Rivers compan-
ion, in the meantime wounded the
other cub, but the beast escaped.
While the men were SHINING the
cub, the mother bear walked away.
She had been "playing 'possum."

INFANT MORTALITY.

The attention, of the Town Council at
Johannesburg, Transvaal. was last year
directed to the fact that out of eighty
four infants. who died in December,
forty-four of them had died Of dys-
entery. An investigation with view
of tracing the source Of the disease
was authorized. Under the best of con-
ditions attacks of dysentery are very
prevalent among children in warm
weather, but in large majority Of
cases the lives of the little ones can
be saved by the use Of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
This remedy always brings prompt re-
lief, and has never been known to fail.

PICKERING IN HAWAII.

Professor Pickering, the Harvard as
tronomer, just returned from the sand
wich Islands, says the Hawaiian VOL
canoes seemed like old friends to him
because of their close likeness to those
he has been used to study In the moon.
He has theory that in early times a
big continental mass, of which Hawaii
was the core, fetched loose from earth,
and sailing out into space, rolled in
to shape and became the moon. So
he sees in the moons volcanoes the
long-lost brothers of the volcanoes in
Hawaii. The hole the moon mass left
is now known as the Pacific Ocean.

announcement unraveling the great mystery
concerning the future plans of Gov Robert
NJ La Toilette with reference to the United
States senatorshrip will be made within the
next few days according to the announce
ment of one close to the executive.
Coupled with this declaration, but coming
from another source, is the prediction that
this announcement will express the inten-
ton of Gov. La Toilette to remain as chief
executive of Wisconsin and also that Rep
resentative Fl. A. Cooper of Racine is the
governors choice for United States senator,
and that his own intention Is to be re-
elected as governor and then become a can
didate for President
The selection of Cooper as the man unon
whom the mantle will be thrown might
appear likely, judging from the wev in
which the governors Milwaukee newsnaner
recently has advertised the Racine con-
gresham. For some reason he has been
given an unusual amount of mention
1t has been argued that Cooper ia tba
only available man for the governor
