THE PORTER MEETING
Democratic Candidate for Governor
Well misunderstanding Fails to
Create Enthusiasm ~ Audience of
Less Than 800 Hears Address - A
Personal Campaign.

If there is hope among the local
democracy for political revolution,
the signs of the first meeting of the
campaign in this county fail to sup
port it. Hon. Claude R. Porter, the
democratic candidate for governor,
came to the city Tuesday, spent the
day calling on politicians and others,
delivered an address before $50 people
in the evening, and departed leaving
the impression that he is a good fei-

were greatly marred by the miscreant.
Large initials were cut in each of the
windows, the letters being A. r. $.
While the glass thus nlarred IS not
ruined, it's appearance is greatly in
iured and will probably have to be re-
placed some day to meet the demands
of particular tenants. 1t would cost
between $500 and $500 to replace the
damaged windows, all of which are
comparatively new.
The owners of the properties have
offered a reward of $50 for the appre-
hension of the culprit, and if appre-
,hended the man could be made suffer
a heavy penalty. There is not the
slightest clue, however, to the identity

life in the occupation of a farmer He
also owned and ran sawmills at differ

18th regiment of New Hampshire volun-
teers, and served with homer for three
years About 10 years ago he moved

DWELLING DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Enoch Larsons House in Centerville
Burned Down.

Another fire was added to. Brattle.
boro 5 rapidly growing list Tuesday
morning when the house in Centerville
owned and occupied by Enoch Larson
and family was burned to the ground.
/ This fire occurred under almost the same
circumstances as the other two within
the past few weeks. 1t was outside
the fire protection limits of the village.
1t caught in some mysterious way and
there is no cew to the manner of its
ignition. The suspicious circumstances
connected with all three lead some
people to think that irebug is at
work
At 1l.30 Monday night Mr. Lar
son went ont for a last hook at his
stock before going to bed and after
seeing that all was wen .he retired. At
1890 he was awakened by the smell of
smoke in his room. Quickly dressing
he made an investigation and found the
entire south end of his house on fire.
His family of six were awakened and
the neighbors aroused. \ large number
turned out to help in saving the fur
niture, large part of which was car
ried out before it was reached by the
flames. At 10 someone turned in an
alarm from box IS on Western avenue.
The hook and ladder truck quickly re-
spOnded as did steamer number 1. Both
had to halt at the village limits to re-
ceive orders to attend fire outside
the village.
After the engine arrived some time
was spent in searching for water. The
banks of the brook back of the house
were too steep and stony to allow the
steamer to get near enough to the
water. Finally the steamer was warp
ed alongside Larkin s mill, which is
a short distance north of the Larson
place, and the hose pushed through a
window into sluice way under the
mill. Here plenty of water was found
and the fire was quickly controlled al
though too late to save the house. The
north end of the house is standing but
is so Quilted that it is worthless.
The fire started in a small lean-to
at the south end of the house in which
was stored quantity of fire wood. The
house was built in three sections and
two stories hlgh. IL was LII Soou oC".e
of repair and had recently been newly
painted. The loss viii amount to $500
of which $1,000 is covered by insur-
ance.
During the fire a stiff southwest wind
blew and carried blazing cinders long
distance. The barn of the place was
about so feet to the windward of the
house and escaped harm. A house near
by had.to be soaked several times when
cinders landed on the roof.
Mr.. Larson is tailor of this town
and has been employed by both w. ID.

Return of Famous Turner Art Exhibit

Beginning at 100 Wednesday, Oct
"a, and continuing through Saturday,
Oct q. there will be held in Grange
hall an exhibition of artistic photo
graphs similar to the exhibition of
1904 in Retting block. The pictures
are well arranged, finely mounted and
hung, and represent all stages of art,
beginning with Egyptian architecture
and coming down to modern American
art. There is history, poetry, nature,
religion and all that is lovely in life.
The net proceeds of the exhibition will
90 to the village schools and with the
money thus realized, pictures, or plastic
reproductions for the different build
ings, will be purchased. Local citizens
cannot better show their good will and
interest in the schools than by helping
this movement in school room decora-
ton. 1t is an uphill task the teacher
has in trying to cultivate something
beyond a commercial spirit and bare
walls cannot foster an appreciation OF
the artistic. Our school rooms need
pictures and the hearty support Brat
tleboreans can give this exhibit will
insure its success.
