FISCAL COURT RESCINDS
BOND PROPOSITION
Action Taken When II Was Evil
dent That People Did Not
Favor II.

The OHIO County Fiscal Court met
in special session at the Court House
"Wednesday upon call issued by Judge
w. b. Taylor for the purpose of con-
siderang the propriety of Withdrawing
or recindsng the order entered at the
special April term of the Court pro-
viding that the question of issuing
bonds to the amount of 100000 for
building and repairing roads be sub
United TO n vote of the people at the
coming November election. The mat
icr was thoroughly discussed by the
members of the court several of whom
stated that in their opinion the propo-
sition would not receive one vote in
ten. Some were of the opinion that
the order submitting the question was
void for reason that the purpose for
which funds, in the event the re-
suit Of the vote was in favor of the
usual of the bonds, were to be used
was not definitely enough stated. The
Court seemed to be OF the unanimous
opinion that inasmuch as SD few
people seemed to be contemplating vot
ing in favor of the proposition 1t was
best TO rescind the order providing for
a vote.
In this connection II might be prop
er TO state that the primary reason
why the Magistrates voted last April
for the order providing for the sub
mission Of the bond usual question
was tnat so many people We're clamor-
ing for good roads and there not being
sufficient available revenue to do any,
thing scarcely to them. Since that
time, however, the roads have dried
out and are fairly good and demand
for road building has greatly decreas-
ed. The order resembling the order is as
follows:
1t was moved by Esp. Edge that the
court rescind the motion or order
entered at the special April 1907 term
of this court, wherein the question of
submitting the proposition of bond
usual TO be voted ON at the regular
November election 1907. in amount of
100000 for the purpose of improving
repairing and building public roads
and bridges in OHIO county. After
thorough discussion the motion car
ried. Thereupon Esq. Miller moved
that the court enter an order recindint
and setting aside the order submitting
to the voters of Ohio county at the
regular November 1907 election as to
whether or not the said voters would
authorize the usual of Bonds to the
amount of 100000 for the purpose of
building, repairing and improving the
public highways of said county and
that said order be declared void and |
held for naught. All Of the justices |
voted in favor of the motion and it |
was SO ordered.

Boys Of Beaver Dam May Make
Evening Calls on Sweetheart
without Being Sent.

For sometime past there has been IL
force in Beaver Dam "a very stringent
curfew law. While it's enforcement
evidently lessened the opportunities
of boys to engage in mischief and
threw about those of tender years that
restraint that is in many instances
very needful it worked hardship on
the older boys, young men as they are
considered. For it provided that all
boys under 20 years of age must re-
frain from being on or along the
when going to or returning from churci
or public entertainments or sent by
parent or gardian. The boys offered
objections to this provision and one
that was well taken by the court was
one that prevented them from calling
on their sweethearts of evenings UNI
less accomplished with or sent by
parent or guardian. The objections
reached a climax when young Grove
Pate, who Is nearly twenty, yeptured
out, was apprehended and fined. He
paid portion Of his fine but when
the time came to pay the remainder his
father for him filed suit in the Ohio
Circuit Court asking an Injunction
against the officials of Beaver Dam en-
Joining them from collecting same. AS.
grounds for an injunction he alleged
that the following portion of the ordi-
nance was unconstitutional:
THAT it shall be unlawful for any
minor, under the age oftwenty years,
to play or loiter on any of the streets
or alleys or other public places in the
town of Beaver Dam, KY, between
the hours of seven o'clock D. m, at
the ringing of the court house bell and
six o'clock a. m; or to be on or pass
along the streets or alleys, or other
public places within the limit of said
town, between the hours aforesaid;
provided, however, that nothing in
this ordinance shall be construed to
prevent minors, under the age of TWEEN
ly (20) years, from going 10 or from
church or public entertainments; or
upon errands. when sent by their par
ents, guardians or persons In charge
Of them, but any minor when SO do

A Man With unIoue Distinctions

Galusha A. Grow, who died Sunday in
Glenwood, Pa, in his saith year, attained
several unique distinctions during his long
and eventful life. He was first elected to
Congress at the age of % and when he
took his seat he was the youngest member
Of that body; he was elected speaker Of
Congress at the age of 81 and was the
youngest man who ever filled that po-
sitlon; at the age of rs, as Congressman
at large from Pennsylvania his plurality
was 297, ,446, the largest ever since given
in any state in the Union to any candi-
date for any office He was the father Of
the homestead act, which was of great
importance in developing the western
states He came within one vote OF be-
ing nominated for vice president in 1864
instead of Andrew Johnson, who became
President after Lincoln's assassination.
The change OF mind by a single delegate
i'm the Republican national convention of
1864 would have made Grow one Of the
important figures of American history
and would doubtless have changed the
whole course of the reconstruction period.
Mr.. Grow was born in Ashford (now
Eastford), Conn, August 81, 1928, but
his family moved to Pennsylvania when
he was three years old. He graduated
from Amherst college in 1874 and being
admitted to the bar in 1S47 became a law
partner of David Wilmot, author of the
famous Wilmot proviso. Mr.. Grow sue
ceeded to the seat in Congress which Mr..
Wilmot had filled several terms, being
elected in 1850. He was elected three
times as a Free Soil Democrat and three
times as a Republican and lost his seat
when the district was reapportioned in
1862. For ten years, at the beginning of
each Congress- he introduced a free home
stead bill and urged its passage and
finally as speaker he had the satisfac-
tion of signing the act which allotted the
public lands in small parcels at a nomi-
nal cost to actual home seekers. Under
this act millions Of acres Of the public

Suits Entered at Greenfield.

James Mccormack Of Greenfield has
entered suit in the superior court at
Greenfield against the Boston & Maine
railway company for SOS, 600 to recover
for personal injuries received, as al
legged, while employed as an inspector in
the yard at East Deerfield. The plaintiff
says that while in the discharge OF his
duties and exercising due care he was
run over by a car and severely injured
through the negligence Of employees of
the defendant. Two suits have been en-
tered against George +. Pentecost Of
Mortified. the first by Marion p Thomp-
son for $4,000, the second by Arthur F.
Stone for $4,000. They allege the the de-
fendant deceived them in leasing the
Naples dairy" 1t is claimed that the
defendant said the dairy would yield a
profit Of $4,000, and that the machinery
was in good working condition.
d. Blair Irving of Northfeld has
brought suit against John B. Manley of
Brattleboro for $1,000. The plaintiff claims
that he bought Of the defendant a Ram
bier automobile, which was represented
to be in good working condition, and that
1t could be returned If plaintiff so desired
The plaintiff alleges that the defendant
refuses to take back the machine which
did not prove to be as represented

domain were afterward disposed of to
excellent purpose When he came on the
scene the Wilmot proviso still marked the
division on which party lines were drawn.
He saw the Kansas Nebraska bill intro
duced and witnessed the surging of the
forces Of slavery and anti-slavery around
the remnants of the Missouri compromise
Before he had reached 80 he had become
a figure Of national Importance. first as
a follower Of WimOt and Democra tic
opponent of the extension of the slave
system, and then as leader in the newly
formed Republican party. Mr.. Grow be-
lieved that the mestead law by the
rapid settlement of the western states,
would aid the anti-slavery cause.
After leaving Congress in 1863 Mr.
Crows health forced him to live for sew
cral years in California and Texas, but
he never took himself completely out Of
the field of home politics. In 1878 he was
defeated by the Cameron-Quay machine
and in 1881 he was a candidate before
the legislature for United States sena-
tor. The machine supported Henry w
Oliver and a deadlock resulted. Mr.
Crows supporters finally succeeded in
electing John ]. Mitchell as an anti-ma-
chine senator In 1895 he was unani-
mouslY nominated for Representatives at
large in Congress to fill a vacancy and
was elected that year and re elected in
1896, 1893, 1900 and 1902 In all he served
q years in the House Of Representatives.
His return after a long absence to the
body over which he had presided has had
two recent parallels. Nathaniel F. Banks
an antebellum speaker, was reelected to
the House in 1885 and ]. Warren Keifer.
speaker in 1SS1-'s2. was reelected in
1904. Mr.. Grow was a statesman Of force.
dignity and independence Of character. a
leader who honored his state and whom
the people of his state always fully re-
spected and trusted.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL
eRATTLEeoRo's UGLY SPOTS.
E. T. Hartman Showed Where They Are
From Photographic Views and Indicated
Desirable Changes.


Edward r. Hartman, secretary of the
Massachusetts Civic league, made some
suggestions as to how to make Brattle-
boro more attractive place in a lecture
given last night In Festival hall under
the joint auspices of the Womans club
and the board of trade. He gave his
suggestions a practical turn by showing
stereopticOn views of some unsghtly
places about town and showing how SINH
lar situations had been improved by views
taken in other towns and cities. He
spoke especially about the bad impression
which people received on coming into
town and on leaving town by the un-
slightly conditions at the railroad station.
The big audience responded with a burst
of applause when the familiar old station
appeared with the long board walk, with
ties and cinder piles lying about after
seeing a view Of one of the picturesque
broWnstone stations on the Boston & AL
bany railroad little way out of Boston.
Another local view which drew forth in
stant and heartfelt recognition from the
audience was a view taken in the rear
of the Crosby block with boxes, barrels
and piled debris. 1t was so natural that
Ii spoke for itself
Among the most practical suggestions
which Mr.. Hartman made was that Sc
rious consideration should be given to the
construction of permanent roads on the
steep hills of the town. He said that il
was real engineering problem but that
it could be accomplished and that it
would be money well invested in the long
run. Another problem which he sug-
gested for careful consideration was how
TO preserve the steep slopes beneath trees
along some of the streets in town. The
trees shade the grass so that the sod was
not firm enough to stand spring water
and frosts. The result was unsightly.
He said that Brattleboro had fine trees
but that they were not well cared for
Dead branches were left on, making a
poor appearance. He urged that the park
question be taken up now while land
could be bought al a reasonable price.
Public Fairgrounds and gardens, both
home and school gardens, were among his
recommendations. Billboards came in for
a share of his attention and he advocated
regulating them. He gave Brattleboro
credit for using billboards to advertise
good things as well as bad.
His lecture in a nutshell was that every
man should look after his own property
and make it cleanly and attractive, which
would naturally develop a general desire
for cleanliness and beauty. A general So
cial spirit of improvement would lead to
the abolition of all the unsightly places
and make Brattleboro one of the most
beautiful places in the Connecticut val
ley. 1t had the natural advantages but
lacked the spirit to make full use of them.

shrewd Turn in Eddy Case.

The answer of the defendants in the
Mrs. Eddy case, made Tuesday, was in
the nature Of a surprise, for it set forth
that Mrs. Eddy on March 6 last con-
veyed all her property TO three trustees,
Henry NJ. Baker of Bow, n. H, Archi-
bald Mcclellan of Boston and Josiah E.
Fernald of Concord, N. H., and prayed
that these trustees be substituted for
the plaintiffs in the suit brought by Mrs.
Eddy's relatives as her next friends. &"
1t is claimed that this motion will not
require the presence of Mrs. Eddy in
court when it comes up for hearing, and
II it should be granted would amount to
n virtual dismissal OF the case.
