Quite number OF reputable peo-

was done Mrs. William Gale by the
story published in the morning pa

lured away from her husband by one
James Matthews, who told the wife
stories of Gales infidellty, and. til at.
as result of Matthews actions, Gale
gave him a thrashing. From what
Ihe Sentinel can learn, William Gale

COUNTY FUNDS HAVE
NO BUSINESS IN IT.

good many people are wonder
ing about the very peculiar editorial
utterance in the Morning Yellow,
presumably from the pen of Political
Editor A. G. Newton. to the effect
that the matter of the county funds
have no business in a campaign, and
the convention should fully under
stand the position of the man who
is named for treasurer before he is
given place on the ticket. In many
states the boards of county commits
sioners control the county funds and
the placing of them by the treasurer,
and this takes the question beyond
the control of the officers and is n
good method"
What does Uncle Avery mean by
such statement made in a warning
to republicans regarding the selec-
tion of men on their tickets?
When was it decided that so vital
matter as the conduct of the tinan-
cial end Of the county's business
should not have its weight in a
county campaign?
When was it made wrong for
the people to have anything to say
as to the ability OF men to handle
the county funds?
What cause have the citizens to
place more trust in the county COM
missioners than in the county treas
urer?
What Uncle Avery is driving at is
that the man nominated for treasur-
er by the republicans should be elect
ed. and the people should not be so
bold as to let the welfare of the
county finances influence them in the
election of a treasurer

The afternoon session Of the hear

Testimony of A. w. Taft and II. G.
Harris, both of Worcester, Mass. rel
alive to the ownership of the bonds Of
the street railway company. There
are SO many conflicting interests in
the case that the hearing of the diff
easy task for the referee. The phase
of the action now under consideration
is the validity Of the bonds of the
company held by several persons in
Worcester and Springfield, Mass
The attorneys for the unsecured
creditors are endeavoring to show
that the proceeds from the opera
tion of the railway have not been
sufficient to leave a balance after the
current expenses of the company are
paid, and If this can be shown, the
law in the matter is such that the
bondholders can not hold any part of
the cash assets Of the company until
the running expenses are settled in
full.
In order to show this fact, sum
mary Of the operating expenses and
the income of the company will be
prepared and presented as evidence
at the next hearing of the case.

RAILROAD STRIKE
IN CANADA IS
INCREASING
Electricians Refuse to Light the
Shops for NOn-UniOn Men.
STRIKE BREAKERS ON HAND
Carloads are Being Shipped In From
Chicago to Take the Places
OF Strikers.

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. Last night
all the Canadian Pacific railroad shops
were in darkness, as the electricians
Operating the lighting plant have de-
clined to wcrk with non-union men.
Yesterday three coach loads ofstrike
breakers arrived here from st. Paul
and Chicago, and these together with
the Japanese reed in round houses
and Italians and Galicians at work in
other parts of the yards, add some
what to the usual activity around the
buildings.
Porters are now compelled to clean
out their own cars, and every extra
laborer that can be obtained is being
pressed into service. Several hundred
mechanics are expected from Pacific
coast states, while the eastern shops
will draw their supply from New Eng.
land. AT some shops in far western
lcities armed police are on guard, but
this is not considered necessary here
The most striking feature of the situa-
ton was the placing of between so
and 60 pickets at the various railroad
terminals and in the vicinity of the
shops, to meet all mechanics coming
into the city and to disuade them from
working for the Canadian Pacific
j. H. McVey, local chairman of the
strikers authorized the statement that
he had information from what he re-
garded as thoroughly reliable source
that a car load of strike breakers left
Chicago Wednesday morning. He was
unable to state the number of men
coming, nor could he say exactly the
hour of their arrival, but a sharp out
look will be kept for them by pickets
at the 500 and Great Northern termi-
nails.
Mr.. McVey mas been assured of sup
port of the American Federation of
Labor. and already a Strike allowance
has been made by the head officials of
the moulders. Single men will receive
IS per week and married men 81 dur.
ing the strike. There is a report that
the switchmen, brakemen, baggagemen
and some of the conductors will go OUT
Saturday. This is denied by Mr.. Nc

September IA. at the Algonquin club,
which will be for the purpose OF
getting together" in an earnest eff

interests of the New England States

( and no outsiders or newspaper men
will be admitted,( Fred T. Ley, presi
dent of the local board of trade,
having been invited because the
Springfield board took the initiative
in the plan which now promises to be
carried OUT
The Springfield board of trade
some time ago passed resolutions
stating that, whereas the interest of
the several New England States are
closely allied, and a greater co-opera
ton on their part is necessary for
their best development; and inasmuch
as New England possesses a combi-
nation of agricultural, educational and
social advantages surpassed by no
other section of the country, and as
States In other parts of the country
are uniting in an active campaign to
promote the interests of their re-
spective sections, and are meeting
with success 1t is therefore high
time" that the New England States
do something along this line for New
England. As a result a communica
tion containing these sentiments was
sent to Gov. Guild, and to all com
merical organizations In the State
with the request to the governor that
he take the initiative in causing such
a conference to be called, and to the
commercial organizations that they
pass similar resolutions and forward
them to the governor. The plan has
horne fruit, and the conference will
be watched with interest. Mr.. Ley Of
the local board has accepted the Gov
ernor's invitation to be present a

The Second Choice Who Always Wants His Own Way In Eve
COLE BROS. CIRCUS
VIII Be Seen In Bennington Friday,
August II.

AUGUST <is
The first advance car Of the great
Cole Brothers Show arrived here
this morning, and it's 80 odd bill.pos'
tiers, photographers and bannermen got
busy at once heraldlng the coming of
the show, which will be here Friday,
August 81.
This car bills in surrounding coun-
try within radius of rs miles from
the place of exhibition, and the town
paper used by his show is elegant,
and in no way partakes of the over
exaggerated pictorial paper as often
used by circuses. Every day this
car uses 10 barrels of -four for paste
and over 5000 sheets of pictorial pos
tiers to say nothing of the smaller
stuff, such as programs, Autographs
and heralds. There are 70 men in
the advance of this show and from
today until the show has exhibited
here there will not be a day but that
the show will have representative
in the town. The second advance car
will be here and work from day to
day and in the meantime brigade of
the men will be sent in to follow up
the work of the car here today. The
Cole Brothers Show spend millions
of dollars yearly in advertising and
believe that honest advertising is the
keystone to success. Their motto
has always been to advertise modestly
what they have and never to adver'
tlse anything they do not have,
