Child Hurt by Auto.

On Saturday morning as N. r. Young
was going down Maple street in his au-
tomobile he had a very unpleasant ex-
perience. When about half way to
Cherry street he saw a team with a boy
in it standing squarely in the middle of
the street. He slowed down his ma
chine and blew his horn, but the boy
paid no attention. Just as he reached
it a six years old girl ran out from the
house at 40 Maple street and ran di-
rectly in front of Mr.. Young's car. He
veered to the left and but for the high
curbing would have gone down over the
bank. AS it was he struck the child
who paid no attention to his shouts, but
did not run over her.
The little girl, who is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Toussant, was I'M
conscious when picked up and it was
feared at first that she was seriously
injured. Her collar bone was broken
and she was badly bruised but the doc
tor reported yesterday that she was
getting along all right. The machine
had a front wheel crushed and the axle
broken. st. Johnsbury %Caledonian,

ExceIIent Letter from Mr.. r. M.

St. Johnsbury. Vt, Oct. 2. 191

st. Johnsbury, VT, Oct. 2, 1910.
Mr.. Battell:
| am sending you with this a few
articles which you may wish to use in
the Register. | intended to send you
some before this but have been so busy
since coming here that | have found but
little time to read the newspapers.
The article headed "Child Hurt by
Auto, is from the st. Johnsbury Gale
donian of last week. This was a bad
accident, as the child was badly hurt,
and for a day or two her death was ex-
pected at any minute. The street on
which the accident happened is very
steep, and autos should not be allowed
on it, even if they are going at a mod
crate rate of speed. 1t looks to me
like reckless driving; in fact everything
connected with automobiling is reck-
less. This town is full of automobiles,
and the more | see of their operation
the more | am convinced that you have
taken the only position possible for a

The Victory.

The victory of the Progressives at
Saratoga was complete. The ample
majority of 122 by which Colonel
Roosevelt was chosen temporary chair
man insures the adoption of a Progress
sive platform, the nomination of a Pro-
gressive candidate and the passage of
the party organization over to the per-
manent control of the Progressive
element. The "old guard" follows the
''black horse cavalry" off the stage.
The change brings to the front in the
party the men who have supported
Governor Hughes and his policies. The
heritors of the old political tradition,
who traded in legislation, who received
thousand-dollar Campaign" checks, or
were RETAINED" to look after legisla-
ton, will continue for a little while upon
the scenes as local figures, but the Re-
publican party of the state goes into
the hands of new men, with new ideas
/ and a different conception of political
morality from that acquired in the old
school. The only Interests" which the
new leaders of the party will know are
the interests of the people, and those
were precisely the Interests" of which
the "old guard" thought least. That,
in brief, is what the change MEANS
Exchange.

Roosevelt and the Machine.

In fighting this crowd (the ''old
guard") Mr.. Roosevelt is rendering a
public service, and he has the heartiest
sympathy of every man in the country
who is on the side of honest and efficient
government for the people and against
the management of politics for the re-
Punishment of campaign funds and the
enrichment of individuals. The in
dications of the primaries are that Mr..
Roosevelt will succeed, and if the con-
v~ention shall elect him temporarily
chairman he will sound a keynote that
will drive the beasts of prey back into
the jungle. Mr.. Roosevelt's first poll
teal experience was in fighting the
bosses and the machine. To his credit
be it said he is as ready to fight the re-
publican gang as Tammany hall. His
success will be a triumph of good citizen
ship. From the Philadelphia Record,

LOS ANGELES TIMES BUILD
ING DESTROYED.
Number Being from Sixteen
to Twenty Persons.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. l. The
building occupied by the Times Pub
fishing company was DESTROYED by fire
this morning and there is a heavy death
list, estimated at from fifteen to twen-
ty persons.
The interior of the building was en-
veloped in flames, Immediately follow
ing an explosion, which, it is thought,
took place on the second floor.
The Times issued a list of sixteen
men not accounted for. The entire
building is in ruins, but two walls re-
naming standing.
The property loss is estimated at half
a million dollars.
Managing Editor Harry F. Andrews
said ''The Times building was destroyed
by dynamite this morning by the enc
mics of Industrial freedom"
MI. Andrews stated that in his Opin-
ion the loss of life had been exagger-
ated. 1t is practically certain that the
dead were members of the mechanical
force of the paper. The police have
arrested two men and they are being
held for Identification.
The explosion which was heard for
miles, shattered all the windows in the
vicinity of the building. Between fifty
and seventy-five employees were in the
structure at the time of the explosion
and until the whole list can be checked,
it will not be known how many lives
were lost. The building is equipped
with gas fitting and the force of the
explosion released the gas which was
instantly ignited. Wesley Reeves, sec
rotary to manager Chandler, is believed
to have lost his life,

Census Curiosities.

The increase of population in Missouri
during the last ten years has been only
6 per cent. The total state increase is
1876, $40, while the combined increase of
st. Louis and Kansas City is 1876, APO.
Outside the two cities there has been a
decrease.
Some southern cities show remarkable
gains. Thus Richmond has jumped
from $1,000 to 1877, 628, Birmingham
shows an increase of 245 per cent.
Birmingham is one of the newer centres
of manufacture, in which northern
capital is largely invested, and the city
has gone forward at a great pace. In
1900 it had only 3S,415. To-day it has
1872, 685 and is m of the great and
growing cities of the South. -Burling-

Bonding State Defeated in
Vermont,

We are happy to that the
scheme of bonding the State for the
construction of roads is entirely given
up, the prevailing sentiment being
strongly opposed to it. Mr.. Howe, who
was elected speaker, expressly denied
that the had been in favor of this pro-
ject, which denial appears in the Mont
pelier Morning Journal as follows:
The story was circulated late yester-
day by one of the opponents of Mr..
Howe to the effect that he is an advo-
cate of bonding the State for the build
ing of trunk line highways.
Asked by a reporter for the Journal
as to the matter Mr.. Howe said:
THE story is absolutely untrue. As
a newspaper editor | am on record
scores of times during the past two
years as opposed to bonding the State
for this or any other purpose.
More than that | have spoken al
public gatherings in a score of towns
and in at least five different counties,
during the past year, and in each and
every instance have opposed bonding OF
assessing any direct tax for road pur-
poses.
81 have repeatedly, on the public
platform, and in the columns of the
paper of which | am editor, advocated
improved roads built by the State, and
nave always believed and urged thai
the work could and can be done by saw
ing the money now spent in special APP
preparations, such as for the James
town exposition and kindred objects,
not absolutely necessary and using it ir
road building, and in addition to that,
using a portion of the steady increase il
State income for the same purposes. >

WRECK NEW POLICE MOTOR
AMBULANCE.
New Bedford Patient Shaken Up
in Crash with Electric Car.

New Bedford, Sept. 30.-On its way
to the hospital with a patient, the new
police motor ambulance collided with an
electric car and was wrecked today.
The patient was Mrs. John Moriarty,
who had turned on the gas in a South
End boarding house a few hours before
in an attempt to kill herself. She was
discovered and the police ambulance
started to make a fast run of it to the
hospital.
William H. Ryan was the chauffeur.
He swung around a corner into the car,
going at a pretty fair clip, and as a re-
suit the ambulance was put wholly out
of commission, and he and Mrs. Mo
riarty were badly shaken up.
Mrs. Moriarty finished the journey to
the hospital without incident in a cab.
She will recover both from the gas and
the shaking up.-Boston Journal.

Was Apparently Not Badly Hurt,
But Lived Only Few Hours.

Though physicians were unable to
discover any serious injury, Catherine
Mccarthy, 10 years old, died at her
home, II Moore place, Arlington, late
yesterday afternoon of injuries received
at noon, when while on her way home
from school she ran into an automobile

ADVISES STORING COAL.

L. w. Ritter, general agent of the
Union Pacific coal company was a
Payette visitor the latter part of
last week calling on S. Levers, the
agent for his company at this point.
Mr. Rider advised the storing of sum
mer coal this year very early and ad-
vised Mr.. Levers not to accept any
orders for September delivery with
any guarantee that they would be
promptly filled as.the present outlook
is that the demand for fuel in early
fall will be such as to make it i'm
possible for the coal companies to
supply sufficient promptly. He strong
ly advised the storing of coal this
summer for winter use while the
summer rates are now on with the
railroad companies.

VOTE FOR THE TWO
BRIDGES ACROSS PAYETTE

On Tuesday June 14th a special
election will be held in Canyon coun-
ty for the purpose of allowing the
voters TO express their opinion OF
bonding the county to build two
bridges across the Payette, one
near New Plymouth and one a short
distance above Fruitland and near
Payette. These two bridges we're
petitioned for over a year ago by a
large number Of people and are
surely badly needed. The settlement
{ the Payette Valley has been rapid
and with the increased settlement
the need of more bridges in this
section of the county becomes very
apparent. The two bridges as pc
tidoned for will receive the unani-
nous support of Payette, Fruitland
and New Plymouth and well they
should. Any community can not get
more bridges or roads than it needs.
Those favoring the bridgesl should
bear in mind the date Of the election
and see that their votes are register
I'd in favor of them on that day. Re
member the day of election is Tues
lay, June 14th.
