corner OF High and Main streets at an
early hour this morning. and one of the
men was thrown against large plate
glass window. smashing IL pretty badly.
The men were arrested on a charge of

The usual fine was given for eight
drunks who had been brought in since

The members OF the Pawtucket Veteran
flremen. accompanied by quite a number
OF their friends. went TO Fall River yes

muster. which was part of the ceiebra-
city. In the squirt which took place on
South Park the old Hay Cart sent a
stream over the paper a distance OF 1Si
feet l019 inches, and thus won the first
prize.
The party made the trip on the steamer
Pontiac OF the Pawtucket Steamboat I
Company, leaving the wharf I'm this city
about o'clock. The unfavorable weather
prevented as large a crowd as had been
expected, but the steamer was quite well
filled. The trip was made without Incl

were given quite cordial reception when
they arrived at the headquarters on
School street.
NO GAMES PLAYED.
Plans had been made for two ban

him steadily.

said, trying to speak unconcerned, and
then, with sudden imbecility regardless
of the warning shadow in her eyes, he
had plunged headlong into his declara-

What sudden madness had seized him
to risk his cause at just that unpro-

confused, regretful = while his own
voice rang hoarsely in his ears as he
blundered doggedly on. Then some
way, just how he never knew, he had
bowed himself out and suddenly found
himself tramping unseemingly through
the soft summer darkness outside, his
face burning, his heart beating fierce

key into the door of his apartment.

he ever had been in his life he entered

In the Congressional contest it is
not question of fighting against any
particular candidate but merely fight
ing FOR McClelland. Mr.. Southard
has held the Office many years and
has served the people to the best of
his ability-we have no fight or i'll
will toward him. Mr. Mulholland of
Toledo is a brilliant young attorney
and worthy of consideration, but
McClelland is Wood county man
the peer of them all-and we consider
it Wood county duty and pleasure
to be for McClelland.
