ARRANGE FOR POLISH CON-
NENTION.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 1O-A
meeting of the committee of arrange
ments of the Polish National alli-
ance was held here today to make
preparations for the great conyen-
ton OF American Poles to be held in
Milwaukee in the fall of 1909. Not
withstanding that nearly two years
will elapse before the delegates will
assemble in Milwaukee. the occasion
is one of SO great importance to the
Polish people that arrangements have
already been made for the entertain
IN mt of the 900 regularly accredited
delegates who will attend the meet
ings, as we'll as the thousands Of
others who will accompany them.
The alliance is the largest Polish
organization in the United States.
and while it is primarily fraternal
insurance organization, it has many
other aims, among them the preser-
walton of the Polish nationality. the
education of the Polish youths in
the higher branches when they show
an aptness for learning, etc. in vi w
of the effort being made by the Ger
man government to Germanize Po-
land, the meeting Of the alliance
promises to be of unusual interest.
The alliance was organized in
Philadelphia twenty-eight years ago
and has spread out all over the Unit
ed States, having membership to-
day of $4,000 in round numbers.

Woodstock had its usual informal
night-before celebration Of the Fourth
of July, making a little less noise
than usual perhaps. Cannon crack.
ers began to boom in the afternoon,
torpedoes, horns, pistols and explod-
ing canes contributing to the racket
One or two bells were rung for a
short time.
The only feature of the Friday
evenings demonstration was Special
Policeman Eaton's unaided capture
Of cannon in the park. 1t had
been barking for an hour or more;
the firing squad was stimulated with
something besides patriotism and
after a careless discharge or two that
scattered gravel to the peril Of other
celebrationists the officer said he
guessed they'd bombarded long
enough and took possession Of the
piece in the face of threats and vitu-
peration.

Death of Mrs. Laurel GilIingham

Mrs. Laurel Gillingham died at
her home in Central street Wednes-
day forenoon, aged 81 years. She
had been an invalid for five years,
after a very active life, and for some
time she had been entirely helpless.
Mrs. Nancy Brown Gillingham
was born in Norwich, VT, Sept. ID,
1926. Her family moved to Wood
stock in 1880, and for time occu-
pied The house which formerly stood
on what is now the school grounds.
at the corner of South and School
streets. August 10, 1874, she mar
ried Laurel Gillinghsm and all her
married life was passed in the house
where she died. Mr.. Gillingham,
who esta blished the blacksmith shop
which bore his name for half CEN
fury, died l3 years ago.
Two of their four children are
not living: Orland b., who served
during the civil war in Co. K, VT.
Vols, and Julia NJ. who married
Henry f. Harris of Windsor The
surviving children are D. E. Gilling-
ham, of Chicago, and Frank H. Gil
bingham, of Woodstock, and there
are three grandchildren, Rolf and
Warren of Woodstock, and William
Harris, an artist, of New York city.
The funeral service was held at
the house Thursday, Rev. R. H.
Cheever officiating. Interment was
in Riverside cemetery.
Mrs. Gillingham passed her long
and busy life in intense devotion to
her family; what she did quietly for
others, and this was only limited by
her time and strength, was known
to few beyond her circle of older
friends. She was a constant attend
ant at the Universalist church as
long as she was able to go to the
services. She was a remarkable
woman in many ways, and there are
many who will remember her kind
ness and good deeds.
