Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-06-01

The state papers are having lots Of
fun with Senator G. w. Pierce because
Of the break he made when iuiroduc'
ing Governor Bell AZ a recent grange
meeting in Brattleboro. The senator
is quoted as saying in one breath that
he never heard of a grange entering
politics and in the next that Governor
Bell would never have occupied his pres
ent position if he hadn I been a mem.
Der of the order. This remark caused
the Randolph Herald 20 inquire if the
governor had met his Burchard, and now
the Mortified News offers the follow
ing story in connection with the cpl
sode: The president S Rough Riders,
wherever they are now, look TO him in
time of trouble. One had come to grief
in Arizona and was in Jail. SO he
wrote his old commander and his letter
ran something like this: "Dear Colonel
Roosevelt: ! am in trouble. / shot
lady in the eye, but / did not intend to
hit the lady; | was shooting at my
wife.

"a Country Kid" H. B. Whita.
ker's successful drama, comes to the
Reynolds Opera House next Tues
day night, Dec. Is. The play deals
with life as seen in small Indiana
towns and is said to be one of strong
morals and interesting plot, enlight-
ened by better dialogue than is usu-
ally fou2d in the ordinary run Of
comedy dramas. It will be made
notable by some pretty stage pic
lures and will be interpreted by a
company of well known actresses
and actors in their particular line
of work. Mr.. Willard Reed, who
assumes the title role, has at once
jumped to the front rank OF sue
cessful stars. Since its initial per
Torrance the play is said to have
met with favor in all of the cities
visited and will doubtless duplicate
whatever success it has had else
where when it is seen here. Already
many theatre parties are gotten up

seven of them will not 90 back,
and there are others 10 doubt. The
successors of some of them have
been elected or nominated. Three

latures have been elected in their

In the doubtful list are placed
Bailey, of Texas; Burnham, of
New Hampshire; Benson, of Kan
sas; bolivar, of Iowa; Dryden,
of New Jersey; Gamble, of South
Dakota, and Wetmore, of Rhode

good chance of re election.
In Michigan there is field full
of aspirants for the place which
Gen. Alger will vacate. A good
many people of the State take the
advanced ground that no rich man
should be selected, and also that
no friend of the trusts should be
chosen. James B. Angel, presi
dent of the, University of Mich
gan, is favored by many, but
there are so many aspirants that
the selection of any particular
man is involved in much uncer.
tainty. The chances of bolivar,
in Iowa, are considered good, but
subject to some doubt. There is
a small Republican majority in
the New Jersey Legislature, bat
a few of the Republicans are said
TO be against Dryden. There is
some feeling in favor of Grover
Cleveland, but it is hardly prob.
able that he can be chosen. Dry.
denis friends say he is opposed
because he is a rich man, but the
probability is that this is the only
ground upon which he can be
elected. His connection with an
trust ought to insure his
defeat, but it may prove the chief
element of his strength.

desac Is to be made an important point
on the Grangeville extension Of the
Northern Pacific is indicated by the
extensive work now being done by the
construction crews here.
Work began this morning on the
deep cut below town. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the Northern Pacific to exca-
vate here the full width OF the right
Of way, 100 feet. The cut is some 800
yards long and 20 feet deep.
This will bring the road into the
heart of the city. and the depot will be
moved quarter mile into town, to a
point just above the old grist mill.
The present three per cent grade in
the switching yards will be eliminated,
and chances for the loss Of cars which
are now frequent will be reducted to
a minimum. The new grade into town
will be a one per cent rise.
From here a distance of 10 miles up
the canyon there is to be three per
cent grade. This will necessitate the
use of helper engines, and houses for
these engines will be erected In the
railroad yards in Culdesac. The pay
roll at this point for railroad work will
be large item in the resources of the
town when the road to Grangeville is
in operation.
