Mrs E. c knight Of Newbury In Com
paratively Good Health.

Newbury. Jan. IA red letter day
in the life history OF Mrs. Eleanor
Cochrane Knight of this place was
yesterday. II was her 102nd birthday

and friends called upon her to extend
congratulations to one of the Oldest

in comparatively good health, retaining
her faculties to remarkable degree
and full Of "reminiscences reaching
back over so years of the last century.
Mrs. Knight came of Scotch-Irish

her parents moved to this town and
lived for many years In house which
has long since been gone and the
highway leading to it abandoned.
The first time Mrs Knight ever ate
tomatoes is associated with an event
which will be clear in her memory al
ways. This was at dinner given to
General Lafayette by Gen. Henry
Dearborn in Boston on the occasion
of one of Lafayette's visits to this
country. At that time Mrs. Knight
met the distinguished French patriot.
Mrs. Knight was married to Simeon
Avery of this town February "a, 1876.
He died in 1858 and a year later she
married Josiah Knight. From that
time until his death In 1881 she lived
at Charles City. la. She returned to
this town In 1882 and has since lived
with her niece, Mrs. Bailey Avery.
Her religious experience covers so
years and she first joined the Metho-
dist church in this town. When she
married Mr.. Avery she joined the Con-
gregational church of Wells River and
was transferred to the Newbury Con-
gregational church in 1850.Since she
met with fall few years ago she
has been unable to go to church.

GeRefa1 satisfaction is expressed by
the delegates who attended the con-
ference Of the Republicans in this
state at Fargo. The primary object
was to harmonic the factional diff
ferences. This appears to have been
accomplished. The secondary objects
were to make preliminary efforts in
the campaign and tentative SUCCESS
lions for the state central committee,
the organization of which is greatly
delayed under the primary law.
1t was decided to offer $1,000 in ten
prizes for the best work done by
country central committees. A COM
mtttee was appointed to draft tenta-
tive platforms. These will be sub
united to the State Central commit
tee for consideration when it organ
ICES, Sept. g. Under the primary law
the central committee drafts the plat
form on which the primary nominees
make the race. It is not known what
would be the result If any individual
candidate declined to accept the plat,
form.
The meeting is regarded by many
of the participants as having elimin-
ated the bitterness Of the primary
campaign and aligned members of all
factions in harmonious cooperation
for the success of the ticket this fall.
The best Of feeling prevailed and there
was unusual enthusiasm displayed.

Grand Forks the two inandamus cases
involving the constitutionality of the
requirement that candidates Of any

Residents near the James river in
the western portion of Jamestown
have caught glimpses Of a young girl,
apparently in g demented condition,
who hides in the weeds and woods up
on approach. She is about fourteen
years old. It has been. noticer that
ears Of corn have been removed from
a field near the river and it IL believed
that the girl has sustained life by this
means. One evening last week the
girl appeared at the door OF a house
and was observed. A member OF the
household took hold of her, but she
broke away and disappeared in the
brush.
It IL said that the girl resembles one
who played the part Of Little Eva in
an Uncle Toms Cabin company that
played in this section of the country,
and that she left the company because
Of Ill treatment, and has secreted her..
self here for fear Of recapture. The
police are trying to locate the girl and
