of Citizens Savings Bank & Trust
Company VS.. Fitchburg Mutual Fire
Insurance Company continues to wax

Mr.. Horner, a machinist in the Fair
banks factory for thirty years or
more was called by the plaintiff and
gave testimony in regard to the con-
dition of the adding machines which
were used by the plaintiff bank pre-
vious to the fire.
John Richie was recalled to
the stand this morning and examined
as to his application for insurance
in different companies at different
times with particular reference to the
valuation of the property which val
uation was set forth in the applica-
tion at the time of such preparation
for insurance. There being some diff
ference in these valuations he was
asked to explain the elements which
had naturally effected the change
meanwhile.

SECURED WELL KNOWN SPEAKER
Joseph w. Folk, Former Governor OF
Missouri VIII Be in Town January

The four reading clubs of Montpe-
lier have secured the services of Jo-
seph w. Folk, former Governor OF
Missouri, who will lecture in Mont
pelier at Armory Hall on January IL.
Governor Folk became prominent in
politics in ST. Louis, Mo, as district
attorney, bringing to justice and pun
ishing the political ring who had
robbed the public treasury. AS a re-
suit of his efforts nearly 20 officials
and officers of corporations were ex-
posed and sentenced to terms in pris-
on and afterwards he similarly ex-
posed some of the State legislators.
This earned for him in 1904 the nom
nation of the Democratic party for
the office of Governor and he was
elected though the State went Re-
publican in the National election. Mr..
Folk has been mentioned as a possible
Democratic candidate for the presl-
dency.

the Lord is upon me- God will not
ask you to do anything you cannot

means assistant A witness used to
mean a martyr AS Gods assistant,
you cannot fail. You may not be
called upon to sacrifice your physical
life but soul service is demanded OF
you. God never fails His people. He
will continue to reveal the truth rs

This has been very bad year from
an attendance point Of view in baseball

its facination for the public. the hard

or the great superiority Of certain clubs
over the others is the question. But
the fact remains that compared with
last season in the American League
neither Chicago, Clevelane, Detroit,

New York Democrats.

Saratoga, n. Y. July 22.-When
the new democratic state executive
committee meets here tonight for or
ganzation it will bring together repre-
sentatives of nearly every faction in the
democratic party. The word has gone
out from State Chairman John A. Dix
and his lieutenants that harmony is ex-
pected and whatever strife develops is
expected TO appear only beneath the
surface
Among the ayowed and possible
gubernatorial candidates who will be
present will be Congressman William
Sulzer, Thomas NJ. Osborn, EDWARD
NJ. Shepard and Lewis 5. Chanler. 1t
was authoritatively stated that Sulzer
will seek pledges OF support from up
state democrats in anticipation OF oppo-
sition from Leader Murphy OF
Tammany to his candidacy.
1t was, however, announced with au-
thority today that Tammany Hall has
no candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination. In series of conferences
with friends in New York, Murphy
made it very plain that he does not
consider this a good year to interfere
with the delegates. II he maintains
his present attitude, while he and his
upstate allies will control the conven-
ton machinery, there will be an open
convention and n free-for-all fight for
the various nominations on the floor,
The Tanmany leader is said by his
friends to believe that this can safely
be done this year, and that it will have
a good effect on the party in the state.
1t would also, Murphy has pointed out,
head off a third party movement inside
the party.
