THE ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT.

Americans everywhere heard of the at
tack upon eX-President Roosevelt with
shudders of horror and adherence. There
is general rejoicing in the reassuring
news that Col Roosevelt will recover.
The event reminds us again that our
great public men are never safe from the
bullets of the fanatic. Three American
presidents have died from the assassin's s
hand within less than so years, and our
only living ex-president has escaped un-
der circumstances which could not be re-
peated without a fatal result. We may
surround cur men in high places with
police and secret service men, but so
long S they appear at public functions
and mingle freely with the people they
are never safe 1t would have been no
difficult undertaking for any crank to
have killed either Roosevelt or Taft when
they recently made trips by automobile
through New England, speaking in many
towns and cities. Col. Roosevelt GER
tainly demonstrated the strenuous life,
of which he is the foremost exponent, in
declaring that he would make his speech
or die after he was shot Monday night
1t took courage and nerve for man
with a bullet deeply imbedded in his
chest to stand up to address an audience
an hour before receiving surgical treat
ment.
We may disagree with Col. Roosevelt
with the policies which he is advoca ting
in this campaign and with his present
attitude toward President Taft and the
Republican party, but none of us will
deny that he is a brave and resourceful
man. We do not believe that the inten-
sity of the campaign brought about the
near tragedy. The papers on the person
of the assailant, showing that he believed
he had been visited in a dream by the
spirit of President Mckinley and order
ed to avenge McKinleys murder, indica te
pretty conslusively a dsordered mind.
Whether the attack will have any ef-
feet on the result of the campaign is a
question which no one can answer now,
but it will undoubtedly have a tendency
to ameliorate bitterness in the discussions
of the next two weeks. President Taft is
not discussing politics from the stump
and Gov. Wilson recognizes the propri-
eties in announcing that he shall give
up his share in the speaking campaign
until such time as Col. Roosevelt is suf-
ficiently recovered to resume.

MRS. SARA (MevEioH) MILLER.

Mrs. Sara A. (McVeigh) Miller, 3S,
wife of Fayette Miller, who lives on the
McVeigh farm, died about o'clock Wed
nesday evening. She had been critically
i'll two weeks with brithts disease and
her health had been somewhat impaired
with the disease about four years. She
was born in Brattleboro, Oct. 2S, 1878,
and was the daughter of Matthew and
Mary Jane (Boyce) McVeigh. She at
tended the public schools here and at
West Brattleboro academy and after
wards taught school two years in dis
tricts No. and No. 15 and for IL or
12 years in the third grade of the Canal
street school. She was married June 23,
1908, to Fayette Miller for several years
employed in the Grange store and now
engaged in farming. After their mar
riage they lived on Horton place until a
year ago last spring, when they moved
to the McVeigh farm in district No. g..
Mrs. Miller was a member of st. Mi
chaers Episcopal church and of Dennis
Rebekah lodge, of which organization she
was noble grand in 1911. She leaves her
husband mother, two sisters, Miss Eliz-
abeth McVeigh and Mrs Jerome A. Ami
don of this town, and three brothers,
Thomas Fl. McVeigh of Stafford, Conn,
Matthew w. McVeigh of Patchogue, l..
l., and Joseph f. McVeigh of West Brat
tleboro.
The funeral will be held in the home
at 2,30 tomorrow afternoon, Rev.
Andrew Harper, jr. officiating. The
burial will take place in Meeting House
Hin cemetery and Dennis Rebekah lodge
will conduct the committal service.
The death of Mrs. Miller has brought
sorrow to a very wide circle of friends.
She was woman of especially pleasing
personality and of noticeable sweetness
of temperament, and her life was full Of
kindly deeds and cheerful ministrations
to others. In the public schools she en-
deared herself to the pupils and teachers
and especially was she held in deep re-
gard In the lodge OF Rebekahs, where she
was particularly active and efficient
worker, as has been her husband In
Wantastiquet lodge and other organiza-
tions OF Odd Fellows.

tiops to Extend Beyond Time speci.
fled In Contract.
The important and interesting develop
ment in the Boston & Maine railroad
work in the past few days has been the
decision of the company to double track
the road for the entire distance between
South Vernon and Brattleboro Rumors
that this might be done were current
few weeks ago, but no definite decision
was made and the Holbrook, Cabot e.
Rollins corporation were not instructed
to make fills for two tracks. Their con-
tract required that all the culverts cuts,
piers and abutments be made for two
tracks, but the other work was to be for
one track, it being the intention OF the
railroad company to have the fills WIDEN
ed at later date. 1t has now been de-
cided to make the fills Of two-track
width while the men and apparatus are
mere and when the work can be done
more cheaply than at any other time.
The original contract with the builders
called for the completion OF their work
by Nov. /, but they have already done
more work than the contract specified.
so 1t will be impossible to finish the
job by that date. The present plan Is
to build single track and put II In
operation and then build the other track
The fill north from the bridge abutment
on the Vermont side of the river has
reached a point near the engine house
in the southern part of the railroad yard.
The work of laying the granite pier in

be begun about the middle of next week
1t will interest many to know that a

Samples of the river bed are taken to
