On Monday the town auditors, after an examination of the affairs of the town treasurer, refused to sign his re- port. The selectmen, the following day, brought Expert Accountant J. A. Nor ris to town, but MT Northrop refused to let him have access to the books. He claimed if the auditors were not competent, it was not his fault, and MT Morris had no legal authority. La ter in the day he relented and Wednes- day was appointed, but he again asked fer a days delay. On Thursday MT Morris began his examination. and as we go to press, is at work on the books. If MT Northrop had courted an open and searching examination at first, he would have saved himself the publicity the matter has now obtained.

Owing to the action of the Danbury merchants with the New York road all trains stop at Danbury, which will be a great convenience, and the tickets will be good to get out to the Fair grounds with. This is an advantage to the public as well as to the Dan bury merchants and one that will make the New York road popular. The Dan bury fair will be greater than ever be- fore, owing to the shutting up of the gates of the great and only Newtown fair.

This stream Runs Up Hill.

One of the few instances Of stream
running up hill can be found in White
county, Ga. Near the top Of a noun.
tain is spring, evidently siphon,
and the water PUSHES from it with suf-
acient force to carry it up the side Of
very steep hiiI for nearly half mile
Reaching the crest, the water flows on
to the east, and eventually finds its
way to the Atlantic ocean. OF course
It is Of the same nature as a geyser,
but the spectacle of stream Of water
flowing up a steep incline can probably
be found nowhere else In the country
and appears even more remarkable
than the oVssxs of tie Yellowstons.

We had one cotton mill to spin the

was yarn, cotton, fax and tow. We

September IL, Is, 10 and 20 are the
dates for holding the Gas Belt Exposi.
ton in Pierre. Plan early to attend!
j. S. Cotton, an expert Of the agri-
cultural department at washington, is
here looking after agricultural interests
OF this section. The department. will
report this sections growth of products
at lenght.
f. A. Craft, state fire marshal, start.
ed out on his first trip as sleuth to-
day to dig up any evidence as to the
cause of fires. Several complaints
have been already filed with the depart
ment; and he goes to learn whether the
complaining parties have any evidence
to furnish.
Ats meeting of the board of trade
held yesterday it was announced that
the city had secured lease from the
Northwestern railroad for half block
of ground near the business section, and
that enough funds were on hand to as
sure the Gas Belt exposition this fall.
An organization of the stockholders is
to be formed as soon as the articles of
incorporation have been filed, and in
the meantime the eXecutative COM
mittee of the board of trade acts as
temporary officers Of the exposition
corporation, to allow the beginning of
work on early date as possible. A
spacious auditorium will be erected at
the corner of dakota avenue and
Chapelie street. The exposition will
open September II and close on the
evening OF the Goth.
On the first day Of this week, we &C.
companied Lawrence O'Heran, general
agent for Racine-Satley implement
manufactures, Fred S. Rowe of Fort
Pierre and Stanley county politician
whose name we cannot recall, on a
trip to "Scotty" Phillip buffalo ranch.
Before leaving Fort Pierre, Mr..
O'Heran declared he had never seen a
buffalo, and acting upon the sugges-
ton of MIR. Rowe, he secured a shawl
strap and a set of kicking straps, being
| determined to bring back one, which he
desired to exhibit in the east. The
drive to the ranch was soon made. The
sight of a buffalo, weighing more than
q ton, brought a flush to the face of
| Mr. O'Heran that he would like to for
get, put he can't. The Phillip herd of
| buttalos are fine lot of animals, num-
bering 100. The increase this year has
been 81. MIR. Phillip will shortly add
seven elk to his herd of animals, hav-
ing purchased that number from a
Wyoming dealer. Mr.. Phillip is man
whom it is pleasure to meet, and
takes pride in plotting visitor over
| his ranch of 5000 acres.

Experiments made at the Bell Rock
and Skerryvore lighthouses. Oh the
Scottish coast, have shown that, while
the force of breakers in the German
ocean may be taken as about a ton and
a half on every square foot Of surface,
Atlantic breakers fall with weight
Of about three tons to the square foot.
On one occasion during q heavy gale
huge blocks of granite and limestone
were washed about like pebbles at the
Plymouth breakwater, carried 200 feet
up its inclined plane and scattered be-
yond it in all directions. One Of the
blocks weighed nearly two tons.

One Of the most widely known geo

Cork is a series Of knobs or knots pro-
jecting from the face Of 8 cliff There
are sixteen Of these huge projections
all together, all regularly set in the
face Of the cliff, one above the other,
forming series of such uniformity as
to give 1t the general appearance Of a

Man Was Stranded.

Because he became stranded here a
newspaper man from New York was
befriended by Mayor Harrison on Fri
day and provided with funds for
lodgings and kilograms.
Just how he got to Martlnsburg the
man was unable to say except in a
general way. He said that he had
been given an assignment by New
York paper TO write up the 5tevedores'
strike. He was familiar with the
union men He took a few drinks
with them and then he took few
more. When he came to he was in
Philadelphia He must have thought
he was on toboggan slide for he took
few more there with some other
union men. Next he found himself in
Harrisburg. A few more drinks land
ed him in Martinsburg. There is no
telling where he would have landed il
his funds had not given out.
Mayor Harrison said that he was
cleancut looking chap about SIS years
of age and looked as any man will who
has been on a spree. The mayor help
ed him out. Whether he obtained
funds from friends in distant places Is
not known. He may have left by
freight. At any rate he is no longer in
the city

Boy Joins Circus.

The small boy dearly loves anything
that savors of a circus. If he can get
into one In any way his happiness is
complete Il is the height of his am
bition to become a part OF one. 1t
looks so easy to turn hand springs IN
the air that he thinks that he can do
it, After one has passed through
town he goes off by himself and prac-
tees all the fancy stunts he has seen.
Robert Tolliyer, of Washington,
must have practiced hard for he be-
came sufficiently expert to secure a
position with the Smith shows as a
clog dancer. He is Il years of age.
When the shows came here from
Washington to amuse the good people
of Martinsburg he came with them.
But he did not remember to ask his
mothers permission, She traced him
here. Today Constable Wild at the
mothers request went out and got him
and brought him away.

A Card of Thanks

desire to return thanks to the cit
liens of Martinsburg for their able
and loyal support at the late election
in the bond issue. Fo several years
past I have labored with what little
power | NAV possess, in the improve
ment of our public schools and school
buildings in the city They are not
perfection yet by any means. But
long stride has been made in that di-
rection and with nice modern up to
date school buildings, together with q
magnificent Young Mems Christian as
soc. alton building, the Queen City OF
the Shenandoah Valley will at last
have made a start in progress and adj
vancement, and with the extension Of
the corporate limits careful and pru-
dent management, no one can conjec.
ture what beautiful city we will
have in the coming decade,
The building in the third ward will
go forward just as named in the
PROCLAMATION. Others will follow soon
thereafter Every promise must be
carefully and judiciously carried into
effect.
Again thanking che good people Of
the city for the grand rally to the sup
port of the schools, beg to remain,
Your Obedient Servant,
A. T. RUSSLER,
President of Boad OF Education
