If the plan of certain Washington,
ID. c., boomers to make the presidential
Inauguration a grand spectacle is carried
out, it will rob the historic ceremony
OF great deal of its stately grandeur
and turn it into a bowling circus per-
Torrance. If there is one feature of
our present day life in the United States
which ought to be kept free of the faint
of commerciahsm, it is this solemn duty
Of inaugrating chief executive Of the
country. The ceremony should not be

swore to be reyenged. He thought he
saw his opportunity when Bill brought

BOOMING A VERMONT TOWN.

thing more than mere slogan for the
Vermont town on the eastern border
and it is to be hoped that the movement
now started there will fulfill the pur-
poses for which it was designed. With
The village of White River Junction as
nucleus, the town is in a fair way OF
becoming one of the leading communities
of Vermont, with West Hartford, Wilder
and Quechee villages adding considerably
to the Importance of the town. White
River Junction as railroad section and
junction center of various lines has a
fine chance to develop. So Hartford

by Deputy Lawson; and Thomas Staples
was asked by Attorney Hoar for the
defence if, when MeAuley called Tur-
ley "liarp and then tried to shake
hands with him, his sister did not ask
them if they were fooling, and if they
didn't say that they were. The Wit
ness replied Eyes"
Then Catherine Staples was placed on
the stand by States Attorney Carver,
who asked her ii Deputy Sheriff Cutler
and Constable McKane did not call on
her on the 18th day of July and again
on the 18TH She said they did. Then
he read certain questions and answers
to her and asked il they were parts OF
the conversation which she had with Mr.
Cutler. To some of Caryer's questions
she said that she had no recollection Of
such questions being asked her by Mr..
Cutler and to Others Of his questions
she replied that she did not give the
answers to Cutler which Carver read
TO her.
Deputy Cutler was at once put on the
stand, and asked by States Attorney
Carver The same questions asked Mrs.
Staples, the previous witness; and to
those to which she had replied in the
negative he replied in the affirmative,
and vice versa. On cross examination,
Deputy Cutler said he did not write
out the questions and answers which Mr..
Carver had read to him but he wrote
the answers.

In this connection we feel as does the
Springfield, Mass, Republican, which
speaks as follows of the proposal:
would it enhance the dignity of the

be persuaded to attend half dozen
balls on succeeding nights Would any
president care to do so much reviewing

coming of dollarsl Is the center OF a
circus desirable place for the presi-

Therefore, with all due respect to the
ambitions of the Washington boomers,
a great many people in the United
States would regret to see the Inaugural
tion commercialized to that extent.

LUCKY BOB" Sr.nENRY
BUYS MONTANA ranch

HARRINGTON, N. D.. Aug. o.
Lucky Bob" st. Henry, the bird
man, is now a ranch owner, or rather
Mrs. st. Henry is. Bob and his
better half have bought a ranch, so
the press dispatches say, out at Miles
City, Mont, and he and Mrs. St. Henry
are there now arranging for the erec-
ton of their log clbin which will be
their homestead.
During the last visit to this city
Mr.. st. Henry said that he was going
to fly this winter down in Florida and
after that he might start school for
aviators, and that he was going to
save his money and not take risks
after this season and the winter sea-
son. It was not known while he was
here that he was contemplating being
a ranch man, but such it seems he
has decided to be. He flies at the
Slope fair at Mandan in the near fu-
ture.
