 Heimann 6 Lichten are to add 45 feet to their new factory, which will make the main building 200 feet long and will materially increase their elbow room.

 Augustus Sandgren was badly in- iured Friday, the 18th, while drawing lumber with the trucking team of Ellis & Go. He was drawing lumber from the company's storehouse near the Central Vermont railroad, and when near the Ricketts 6 Shaw mill some of the lumber slipped and struck the horse. He jumped, throwing MT. Sandgren to the ground. MT. Sand gren struck on his head and one of the wheels passed over his leg. He was taken to his home and Dr. Capen was called. He found that MT. Sand gren's jaw was broken. With the as- sistance of Dr. Soule he set the fracture. The leg was badly bruised, but the bone was not broken. The horse was stopped before it ran far, and neither horse nor wagon were in- jured.

 There are indications that Dr. George A. Moore of Palmer will be
 tative in the first Hampden district.
 Dr. Moore is man that has forced
 his way to the front in a comparative
 ly short time He is a Well-knOWn
 eye and ear specialist, with lucrative
 practice. He has served as president
 of the Palmer Business and Social
 club and was recently appointed a , trustee of the Monson state hospital.
 He is a forceful speaker, and will in all probability make an active cam
 paign. Opposed to him, ill all prob . ability, will be some Monson man, if
 candidate of this town cares to
 make the running. Prominent re-
 publicans, while admitting the doc tors ability, will concede no walk [ over They state that there is good ] working majority of republican votes < in the district, and there is peace : between the various towns. The , democrats are sanguine of success with Dr. Moore as a candidate, and say il , is all over but the shouting. As fal n as known there will be no Bull Moose 7 candidate to complicate the situation. The present indications are that At s torney F. Q. Ball will be the candi u date. Mr. Ball has been asked tc E consider the matter, and it is under
 stood that he is favorable providing
 the nomination comes to him without , opposition. Mr. Ball is 8 capable, t clean candidate, who will make { g strong appeal to the voters of the dis = trict.

 chance. The fire started on the |, third floor, just at the foot of th' :. attic stairs, and had gained consider
 able headway before it was discov
 cred. A woman whose room is on th' IA third floor was attracted to the hal e by cracking sound, and when sh' !. went to investigate flames were burst e ing out of the attic door casing. Whe1 F the door was opened the small hal s s stairs sheathing and attic timber' T were all afire. Chief Needham pulled ], a second alarm as soon as he saw ' where the fire was, as it has alway' e been considered the worst corner fol 1. fire in the town, it being the mos
 thickly settled section in Monson
 About the time the chemical had sub
