Valley Fair Notes.

Every indication at this date is very
favorable for a REPETITION of an excellent
exhibit of Morgan horses, which was
such fine feature OF the Valley Fair
last year.
The convent sisters OF Fitchburg, who
exhibited in Floral hall last year have
sent a large list OF entries comprising
unique and dainty articles OF handiwork
and several oil and water colors
An unusual call has been received for
premium lists from all over New England
and several calls came from Ohio and
New York states. This shows the wide
spread reputation of the Valley Fair.
There seems to be a mistaken idea
among some of the people regarding the
first days program OF the Valley Fair,
and many have expressed themselves to
the effect that the first day would be
only day OF preparation. The manage
ment wish to set the people right regard
ing this. The fair will be in readiness
Monday night and viii open complete to
the public Tuesday. just the same as
when II was a two-day fair. There will
be three races on the afternoon Of the
first day, including the 2.15 stake event
Railroad arrangements are being made
for all three days and there is no reason
why the first day. Tuesday, will not be
as good as any first day has ever been

She is seven years of age and comes Of

rotting sensation Of the year 1904, but
did not equal the expectation of her ad-
mirers last season.
Ecstatic has been trained for and
driven in all her races by Frank Lang of
Barton, who deserves a deal of credit for
when the mare first appeared in public
she was notional, and it was freely pre-
dicted that her speed could never be
used to advantage. At speed her gait is
perfect and she wears only two pairs Of
the lightest of boots.

Two Nurses Prevented Loss OF LIE.

A despatch to the Rutland Herald from
Granville, N. Y, Tuesday said: The
quick work of two women early today
prevented loss OF life in the dwelling
house on Church street now occupied
by Charles Thompson and Patrick Con-
sabine, with their families. About 2
O'Clock two nurses, Miss Truen of Rut-
land and Miss Baker Of Brattleboro. who
are caring for Mn Eli Wood OF Church
street, discovered flames and smoke is
suing from the roof OF the dwelling
house. which is on the opposite side.
Without delaying 20 dress they rushed
across barefooted and aroused Mr.
Thompson, who occupies the lower floor
with his wife and three children. He at
once rushed to the upper part OF the
house, and with difficulty awoke Mr.. and
Mrs. Consadine and their little child as
the flames were creeping through the
partition and flooring a few feet above
their heads and the plastering from the
ceiling was dropping upon the bed. An
alarm was sounded and the fire depart
ment responded promptly. The flames
were soon under control, but the rooms
occupied by the Consadines were Quilted
the family losing nearly everything ex-
cept what clothing they could catch up
as they ran out. Mr.. Thompson's loss
Is confined to damage by water, which
will be considerable" Miss Baker was
not long a resident OF Brattleboro and
while here was a student nurse.

THE CLOSING RALLY.
1000 People Heard Fletcher D. Proctor,
Senator Dillingham; and J. L. Martin
Discuss Issues.


Senator Dillingham; and j. L. Martin
Discuss Issues.
The largest political gathering held in
Brattleboro In the campaign which closed
Tuesday was the Republican rally on the
common Saturday afternoon, when not
far from 1000 people assembled to hear
speeches by Fletcher d. Proctor, can
dldate for governor, United States Sem
ator William p. Dillingham; and United
States District Attorney James L. Martin.
The crowd was attentive and demonstra-
tive and was favored with perfect wealth
err. Mr.. Proctor was the first speaker,
and he made a decidedly favorable Inn
preston upon the audience both by what
he said and by his apparent sincerity.
In considering the matter OF state ex-
penses he said that the only fair test to
apply to the increase "is whether what
we are receiving Is worth what we are
paying for IT," Neither Mn Clement nor
his literary bureau acknowledges any Of
the improvements which those expenses
represent. The speaker referred to Glenn
ents refusal to appear before the state
Investigating committee and tell what he
knew about graft, and continued: 1.-THE
persistent circulation Of absolutely I'M
founded accusations against the state is
bringing the state into disrepute through
out the country" He spoke Of the public
form was silent, the cost OF insane poor,
formerly borne by the towns, but now
paid by the state, and concluded by
saying: IF elected governor OF the state
shall administer its affairs on strictly
business principles and shall use every
economy consistent with the highest well
fare Of the people"
Senator Dillingham; reviewed briefly the
progress of the nation under Republican
government, showing the relatively high
rank of Vermont In that progress, and
then turned his attention effectively TO
the charges Of graft in the conduct OF
state affairs 1t was P. w. Clement who
first made the charge Of graft and that
was after he failed to get the nomination
for governor in 1902. Two years later,
however, he went up and down the state
campaigning for the Republican party. in
the face Of his accusations against II, and
even at the beginning Of this years cam
paign he announced his intention to seek
the regular Republican nomination. but
that was before the bennington Idea''
was born. One OF the Senator's strongest
points was made in showing that Mr..
Clements whole effort was to tear down,
and that he proposed nothing whatever
In the way OF progress and development
for Vermont In the future.
District Attorney Martin talked about
the Republican ring and the Repub-
lican machine" Mr. Martin handled
the subject in a facetious way, showing
the utter absurdity OF some OF the things
that have been charged against H.

Keene and Nashua Athletic association
played for the championship Of southern
New Hampshire at the fair in Greenfield
N. H., Thursday. Nashua won 4 to 2,
after a struggle Of II innings.
The Athletics have no game scheduled
for Saturday. The series with Bondvile
now stands one victory for each club
be arranged to be played on the Brattle-
boro grounds at an early date
Arrangements may be made for a ball
game on the island each forenoon of the
Valley Fair. Davey. who has been the
star pitcher for the Bradford. Pa, club
throughout the season, is expected to
return to Brattleboro in few days. The
New England league season will end to-
morrow and Tommy Guiheen will prob
ably come home next week. These two
players would greatly strengthen the
Athletics and hundreds OF people here
would like to see them in games at home
The Hinsdale hose company, with Dan
Riley as leader and Richard Howe as
coupler, won second money. $125, against
the speediest hose teams OF the country
at Webster, Mass, Saturday. The team
had to run PIT yards, lay 200 feet OF nose
and get water through 1t. The Webster
company which was awarded first prize
did the trick in 35 3-5. Hnisdale's time
was given as SO AS. The water was
turned on for the Webster boys by a
policeman, and 1t is claimed that this
gave the victory to Webster. The Hins-
dale team and the Shamrocks OF Turner's
Falls entered a protest but It was not
allowed The Hinsdale boys believe that
with fair play they would have taken
first prize, which was $780, At Athol
Labor day Hinsdale was disqualified on
foul. The hose fell out at the start and
half way down the stretch the coupling
fell out This set the coupling so that
Howe was unable to unscrew it. Six
teams competed and first money went to
the Shamrocks Of Turner'S Falls, Athol
second and New Britain third. Hins-
dale made a good run and would have
won a part OF the money but for the ac-
cident. The sprinting events were post
poned until Tuesday and Dan Riley was
unable to remain to take part in them.
He was given eight yards in the handi
cap over Metz Of Turner'S Falls and
Keane of Boston, the scratch men.

Veteran Was Found Saturday Near Wal
ter Murphy's Farm by F. E. johnson
Searching Party out Friday.
Frank johnson, the civil war veteran
who disappeared from his home on the
Puntey road Monday, August "a, was
found Saturday forenoon In an exhausted
condition after having wandered about in
the woods over five days without shelter
or food f. e. Johnson, cream gatherer,
had been on one Of his regular trips to
Walter Murphy's farm, which is on the
road which joins the main highway just
below Crosby's pond. +. e. johnson
drove past the road leading to the So
called Fanny Rice place, now unoccupied
with his coat collar up over his
face. Mr.. johnson stopped at Mr.. Crosby's
and told the people there about the man.
Mr.. Crosby at once believed that the
stranger was the missing Johnson, and
he and F. e. Johnson started to see what
could be done for the mans relief When
they arrived at the spot where the man
was lying Mr.. Crosby recognized john
son and said to him: Frank, don't you
know me?" johnson seemed very weak
and was apparently wandering in his
mind and his first words were Where
am II" He looked wild and bewildered
Crosby remained with him while f. T..
Murphy to come with his team to take
johnson home. In the mean time Miss
Maud Crosby had walked from the Crosby
homestead and on finding that the lost
man had been found she walked to Frank
Johnson's home and told the veterans
| son, Arthur, the circumstances OF the
| finding of his father. Arthur started
for the scene on his bicycle and met his
father who was In the team with Mr..
Murphy near Mr.. Crosby's house. Mr..
johnson arose and got into the carriage
with but little assistance.
The point at which Johnson was found
is only half mile from his home. john
| son was not at the barway when F. z.
Johnson drove to Murphys. II is prob
able that he was in the bushes nearby,
and hearing the team go up the road,
made his way TO the roadside. But for
! the fortunate discovery by F. e. johnson
| he probably would have persisted from
exposure. The searching party which
was out a large part OF the day Friday
went through the woods on the east side
Of the main highway but did not
search to any great extent on the
side OF the road where the man was found.
IT is supposed that when johnson left
he crossed the brook near his home and
that during his absence he was In the
woods east OF the Crosby pond a large
part OF the time.
Johnson received medical attention as
soon as possible after he was taken
| home. He said the rebels had been
| chasing him and his mind was wander
| ing. He has improved physically during
the week but his mind is still cloudy As
soon as his son in Michigan is heard from
arrangements will be made for his per-
manent care. 1t may be thought advis-
| able In case OF Improvement to find
quarters for him in a soldiers home.

Bondville took revenge on the Ath-
1etics Saturday, winning to- l before
the largest crowd of the season, esti-
mated at 1000 people. Brattleboro's only
score was made by L. Allen in the first
inning but the Brattleboro boys took
chances in base running and two
were thrown out at the plate. The re-
suit was really determined in the seventh
timing, when with two men out Wheeler
fouled the ball, but Darcy called It
strike. Allen missed the ball and on re-
covering It threw wild to first base.
Trendall who reached the ball. held II
momentarily and then threw to third
base, while Lackey, who had already
run past the third corner, trotted home.
Bondville Splayed a cleaner and sharper
game than the Athletics. Both teams
pulled out Of holes when scoring seemed
imminent The work of both pitchers
was first class. Interest was intense
throughout the game and many good
plays were made although there was
but little in the spectacular line. Three
fast double plays were among the feat
lures
