To Run for City Representa-
tive This Year
AN UNUSUAL CONDITION
Caucus Held Saturday Night Decides to
Be aNeutral"-Inlependent Re-
publicans Endorse Nc
Kenzie.

For the first time lin the memory
Of the oldest inhabitant,s the Demo-
Gratis Of Barre will not have candidate
for city representative this fall. This
decision was reached at their adjourned
caucus held in the city court room Sat
urday night, when motion was passed
not to nominate candidate for that
Office. The city has been represented ia
the Vermont legislature by Democrat
for the past eightMgears, George I.
Swasey breaking the string Of Repub-
lican victories for score of years back.
Mr.. Swasey was succeeded by Frank
McWhorter, and G. Herbert Pape, the
present Fusion candidate for lieutenant
governor, was chosen for the next two
years.
There were not many Democrats ont
to their caucus Saturday night, but
as one of them remarked, they had won
victories with a smaller start than that.
John w. Mcdonald was elected chair
man and S. III. Forsyth acted as secre-
tary. The union justice Of the peace
ticket with the other parties was sc-
cepted, the secretary casting one ballot
on instructions by the caucus, ii being
decided that the action conformed with
the provisions Of the caucus law, under
which the meeting was conducted.
James McConachie reported for the
committee which had been chosen one
week previously to investigate condi.
tions. He stated that the committee
had looked over the situation and de-
eided that IL was the. best thing for
the Democrats to remain neutral" this
year, that Is. vote for whatever candi-
date they wished. With the recommen-
dation OF the committee the caucus ac-
quiesced, and adjournment was at once
taken.
Independents Endorse Mckenzie.
After this action by the Democrats
the Independent Republicans got to-
gether in their headquarters in the
Scampini block and endorsed the can
didaey of John j. Mckenzie, who had
been nominated for representative at a
Labor caucus. This was done on mo-
tion Of Sam Kingston and seconded by
George Cassie The Independents chose
the union Justice Of the peace ticket.
Angelo Scampini was chairman of the
meeting and William Brown was secre-
tary.

naming candidates and only two candi-
dates are thus far in the field, s. Hel-
lister jackson, who was named by the
Republicans unanimously, and Mr. Nc
Kenzie The Prohibitionists found that
they had failed to comply with the
caucus law in not fling their city com
mittee before April IS. They intended,
however, to file ticket some time to-
day. provided they got the necessary
signatures.

The buffalo was a noble animal. Its
habits differ from those of the deer
family entirely; with antelope, red
deer, elk, caribou and moose there Is
similarity in habits of them all, but
the buffalo has no relatives. When a
bull became old and was ,Ihipped he
became social outcast, and was
driven from the herd, and no others
would associate with him. He wan
dered around by himself, and finally
became prey TO the wolves Wher-
ever there were buffalo there were
wolves. They would hang around the
outskirts of the herds and wait fer a
chance for an old one or cripple or
q calf.
A great deal has been written about
the wanton waste and destruction of
the buffalo, the substance of which no
doubt is correct; but did you ever stop
TO think that it would be impossible TO
operate a farm in a country where
buffalo roamed at will? A herd sweep
ing down across the country would
stamp the farm into the ground, and
fence would be no more obstruction
to them than a SPIDERS web. Stock

When the buffalo disappeared, II
had one blessed effect; it compelled
the Indian to keep near the military
post, from when they drew their sup.
plies. When the buffalo was plenty
they could wander where they pleased
and We're sure of plenty to eat; they
could go on their devilish raids and
were striving to make homes for theiI
loved ones.

Caught Big Shark on Fish Line.

While fishing off the terminal dock
about noon yesterday n. Gonzales
hooked an eight-fOot shovel-nose shark
and drew it up to the dock with an or
dinary fish line.
The monster was easily drawn in and
made but little resistance until heav-
ing line was thrown over him and the
slip knot began to tighten, and then
the fun commenced. The water was
lashed into foam for many feet around
and the strength of several men was
required to prevent its escape. Two
boat hooks were finally brought into
play ON the back and sides of the big
fish and very soon it was conquered
and hauled on the dock. 1t was hid

afternoon.-Miami Fla.) Record.

At the morning session last Tuesday

some lively proceedings. for the most
part in good natured manner.
Messrs. hoffman and Rosenthal filed
protests as to their personal property

of Il per cent. OF its actual valuation
Lou Duval, the Assessor. asked the
speaker where he obtained his infor-
nation, and the reply was. from the
reports OF the Interstate Commerce

law, should tax property on the cash
value basis, or according to the agree.
ment Of the last convention OF County
Assessors, held in this city last wintc r,
which was fixed at GO per cent. OF the
actual value of the property taxed.
Former Commissioner John Byrne
thinks some OF his holdings have been
valued too high and will ask for re-
dress.
Numerous parties claim the Com
missioners ought to be careful and
considerate about adjusting values as
they are to remain for two years, and

broken. The month OF July past was
the dryest on record, as we'll as the
warmest, in many localities of the
State.
Considerable cloudiness prevailed
