Two caucuses were held on Thursday
and Friday nights. respectively. at
which candidates were nominated for
the municipal offices to be filled at the
city election, which takes place on the
25th. At the first caucus T. B. Alfred
and B. w. Smethurst were placed in
nomination for one year. to fill vacan-
cy and Edw. Theobald was named for
treasurer. At the second caucus E.
M. Smith and A. P. Peterson were
nominated for councilmen for full
term and Jas. McCone for councilman
to fill vacancy and M. C. Sutton was
nominated for the office of treasurer.
The tickets will be designated as Cit
liens and People after the old es-
tablished precedent of the town. Just
what the issues are. seem hard to de-
termlne.
Two years ago this winter C. S.
Dempster lost his watch in what is
now the L. l.. Miller ice house. while
assisting in slowing away the ice
harvest. The timepiece was long since
given up as hopelessly lost and Mr..
Dempster consoled himself with the
purchase of another. but. strange to
say. the watch was recently found by
B. F. Woods. in the saw dust at the
bottom of the icehouse. during the
process of cleaning out the same pre-
paratory to retiling it with fresh
crop. The old "turnip'' was ticking
along merrily when picked up. and
the strangest part of the story is the
fact that it had lost only Is seconds
of time during the whole period of it's
isolation. 1t is supposed that the
wacth dropped between two cakes of
ice in such manner that the stem
was brought in contact with one of
the posts of the building. and as the
melting ice settled down the friction
kept it wound. which accounts for it's
remarkable endurance. Mr.. Dempster
would not take a fortune for that
watch now. and he Is negotiating to
trade off his more recently acquired
timepiece for gold case for the old
one to replace the silverine box in
which it was confined and which is
quite badly furnished. but otherwise
the watch appears as good as it was
the day it was lost. We could go
further and tell the make of the
watch. but as the manufacturer is not
paying US anything for advertising.
we will hold that part of the story.
