CALEDONIA COUNTY FAIR.

St Johnsbury, Sept 1.-THE Sec
ond day of the Caledonia County fair
closed today with a record for attend
ance, there being over 1000 people
on the grounds, the greatest num-
Der ever. The fair 50 far has been
an immense success, everything GO
ing off without flaw with the result
that this years exhibition is said to
be the best of the SO fairs which have
been held on the grounds
The day was an ideal one for a fair
and the trains were crowded with
eager sightseers, who came from far
and near to view the many attrac-
tions which the management has to
offer this year. Something was going
on all the time, either in front of the
grand stand, on the track or on the
long noisy midway a parade of
blooded stock, including some of the
finest specimens of thoroughbreds in
Vermont, was among The interesting
attractions of the forenoon. A bal
loon ascension and parachute Jump
took place late in the afternoon. which
met with the approval of the specta-
tors as Professor Bonette made a
particularly high and daring leap in
his parachute which by it's very bril-
in wonder and admiration.
The races of the afternoon were the
most interesting that have been pull
ed off on the grounds for some time.
Two of the events were for five heats
which shows in itself the closeness of |
the finishes. The only incident to
mar the program was the fact that
Taylor, the driver of Lady Lawrel. |
had to be removed by the judges for |
driving in an unsatisfactory manner. !
Taylor had driven Lady Lawrel two !
heats in the 240 pace without evinc- |
ing any great desire TO have the |
chestnut mare come in the victor ,
when the judges removed him from
his seat and chose Thompson to fin
ish the other three heats. Lady Law
rell won in straight heats with her
new driver and first money. Thomp-
son was given $25 by vote of the
judges, which came out of the purse.

IMPORTANT BANK CASE

Clement National Bank OF Rutland
Declines to Pay Taxes on Savings
Deposited to Go to the
Courts.
The Legislature of 1906 passed a
law requiring the National Banks of
the State to pay tax of 7-20 of one
per cent semi-annually of the aver
age amount of deposits in their saw
ings departments during each six
months prior to April 1st and Octo-
Der 1st each year.
The first tax paid by the banks
under this law was this tax due for
the six months proceeding Oct. 1st,
1907 Since that time all the banks of
the State, who filed stirulations with
the State Commissioner of Taxes, have
paid the tax when due with the eX-
ception of the Clement National Bank
of Rutland. This bank paid the tax
due on the first three periods but
has not paid the tax due April 1st,
1909.
1t is understood that the State is to
bring a suit in the September term
of Rutland County Court to collect
the tax, although the writ has not
been served yet 1t is understood that
the Clement bank will make a test
case on the grounds that the law is
unconstitutional.
The officers of the local National
Banks were interviewed on the sub
ject yesterday afternoon. They said
the case would be watched with much
interest as another tax will be due
October first, but that they were a
party in no way, as their taxes had
been paid.

this year were 12.SO3 as against 12-

fair on the second day would have
been much heavier than it was and
thus put the record above 1908 if it
were not for the threatening weather
in the morning.

Three PRISONERS
y given :! Liberty
TWO SHORT TERM MEN AND ONE
WHO WAS SENTENCED FOR
FIVE YERS.
Mark A. Pace, A. c. Nice and c. W..
Boyd Have Their Prison Terms Cut
Short BY Board.

At the session of the state pardon
board held yesterday at the capitol
building three men were made happy
by the announcement that their term
had been cut short by periods varying
from three months to two years.
Mark A. Pace who was sentenced
to serve five years for grand larceny
from the county Of Ward, was given
his release. He had served about two
years of his time.
A. e. Nice, who was serving one
year for grand larceny and who was
sentenced from T0wner about six
months ago, was also pardoned. He
was charged with stealing quantity
Of wheat.
The third man to be allowed to
leave the walls of the state prison
was C.. w. Boyd, who was sentenced
to one year after being convicted of
embezzlement. He stole some money
from the railroad company at small
station near Devils Lake while acting
as operator agent for the Great North
ern. He had served nearly four
months of his time. 49,.
Arguments were heard on the petit
ton for pardon for Joseph Till, who
is charged with murder. It is prob
able that vote will be taken on the
mater today. This Is probably the
most important case that will come
before the board at this session.

THESE were WE'D.
Miss Gertrude Parker and Mr.. Jos. N.
Kuhn Join Their ortunes for Life

Sank Center Herald: Two we'll
known young people Of Sank Center
were quietly married in Minneapolis
Tuesday of last week. They were
Miss Gertrude Parker, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Parker. and Mr..
Jos. N. Kuhn of Bismarck, N. D.
The ceremony was performed short
" before noon in st. Charles Catholic
church. Minneapolis, FIR. T. F.. OCon-
nor of this city officiating. Miss Mary
A. Kuhn, sister of the groom. was
bridesmaid, and Mr.. Charles Neid was
best man. Miss Parker was married
in a handsome travelling suit of blue
with hat to match. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kuhn spent few: days in Minneapolis
and went from there to Wfnona for
q short visit with friends, before 60
ing to their home in Bismarc.
So quietly was the wedding arrang-
ed that few in Sank Centre knew OF
1t until a day or two after the cere-
mony had been performed. A few
friends became suspicious when they
noticed in q st. Cloud paper on the
preceding Sunday that the marriage
licence had been granted. They made
frequent inquiries but could not as
certain any mformat1on. TT. OCon.
nor was in the secret and kept mum
like the rest.
! Both bride and groom are well
known anr< have many friends here.
The bride Is native of Sank Centre
and graduated from the local high
school two years ago. Since that time
she has been teaching, the year pre-
ceding her marriage being engaged
in that work at Scotland, 8. D. The
groom had lived in Sank Centre for
some time, being at one time travel

fected by the proposed Improvement
and a. number of people who own
property in the district that has been
mentioned have expressed desire for
the paving. It will be necessary TO
have some arrangements made about
grounding the wires of the various
companies who now use the streets
for their poles and from this fact It is
not the intention of the commission
ers to do anything with the propo-
sition this year, but will make the
preliminary moves. - <s5 L.
Commissioners Gieremann and Jack
son were appointed a committee OF
two to confer with the city attorney
and examine the various franchises
and determine what the rights of the
city are in connection with the move
to require the companies to move
their poles from the streets. ~
The commission put itself on record
last night as favoring the proposition
of paving. There was also some dis
cussion of holding an election for the
purpose of voting on an issue of $4,000
worth of bonds, or as much of that
amount as will be found .is required.
the money to be used for the construc-
also went on record as favoring this
piece of work and it is probable that
an election will be held In the near
future. There has been a general ex-
preston of sentiment among the prop
erty owners of the city in favor OF
the bonding proposition and there is
little doubt but that it will carry with
large majority when the vote is
taken.
The matter of enforcing the ordi-
nance regarding the painting of tele-
graph and telephone poles was taken
up, but as it will be possible that a,
number of the poles will have to be
taken down in case the paving deal
carries, it is probable that action on
that matter will be deferred.
There being no further business to
come before the commission adjourn
ment was taken until Monday even
ing.

BOND ISSUE 81. !.
J: DECLARED ILLEGAL
PIERCE COUNTY BOND ISSUE A.
so THROWN OUT ~ THE
COURT.
Decisions Were Made Public Yester-
day Afternoon-No Opinion Has Vet
Been Filed. -.

The 100000 bond issue recently
voted by the city of Fargo for the pur-
pose of installing water system and
building city electric light plant,
has been declared illegal by the su-
preme court, in an order entered on
Thursday afternoon reversing the low
er court of Cass county.
No opinion was filed, but will be
handed down later. To test the legal
ity Of the bonds an action was brought
by Alex Stern against the city of Far
20 to restrain the issue of the bonds
on the ground that they we're illegal
and a demurrer was entered by At
torney Wright for the city of Fargo,
and the demurrer was sustained by
trict court is reversed, which means
that the issue is invalid.
The principal point raised in the is
sue was the fact that the bonds were
authorized for two purposes, or for a
joint purpose, without specifying the
amount to be used for each. The
bonds were offered to the state board
of university and school lands, which
agreed to take them if they were de-
clared legal by the supreme court.
The supreme court at the same time
handed down an order reversing the
lower court of Pierce county, which
upheld the legality of $4,000 Of bonds
issued for the building of a court
couse. The questions involved were
similar to those in the Fargo case.
Under the ruling of the supreme court
these bonds are also invalid.
A new election will probably be
held at Fargo, when the question will
probably be submitted in such way
as to overcome the legal objections
raised to the last election.

Animal Located Near Mckenzie at
" About seven o'clock on Thursday
:, Evening.

Word was received from the peni-
Tertiary last evening that the horse
which had been used by Tom Burke
the convict, who escaped "Wednesday
afternoon, had been found short dis
lance the other side Of Mckenzie.
The fact that the horse was loose
and was returning in the direction OF
the pen at the time it was discovered
leads to the belief that it had been
turned lose by Burke some distance
east of that place.
Every effort is being made to locate
the man and it is not likely he will
be able TO make good his escape as
the country has been flooded with cir
culars and photographs and q reward
has been placed on him. 1t Is learn
ed that his family lives at Oriska

watch is being kept there and it is
though likely that he will head for
that neighborhood sooner or later:

proposition was TO let the right man.
The members of the fire department
recommended that the Waterman be
member of the fire department and
there are other qualifications that
should be exacted. It is the inten-
ton to ultimately have the Waterman
perform the duties of policeman
during part of his time and he would
thus have to come up to the speci-
fications laid down at the last meet
ing regarding the age and size of the
policeman. Mr.. Marquett stated that
it was no easy matter to find the right
man but that there were several
prospects in sight at present and that
he would make a report at the next
meeting Monday evening.
The matter of paving the business
district of the city was again brought
up and discussed informally. 1t has
been found by an investigation that
has been made that the matter of ex-
pense would not work hardship up

THE COM MISSION.

President Williams Of the city COM
mission called a special meeting of the
commissioners last evening to discuss
several questions that have been
hanging fire for some time.
The first thing decided was that
the commission would meet with the
assessors and auditor as board Of
equalization and to hear any COM
plants that may be made by citizens
regarding the assessment that has
just been completed.
Commissioner Jackson entered a
protest against the way the work of
caring for the fire house has been
conducted in the past, stating that in
his opinion the city was not getting
value received for the money paid in
for these services.
Commissioner Marquett, under
whose department this matter came,
stated that an effort was being made
at the present time to change the
methods used in this particular in
stance and that the hardest part of the
