Miss Jessie N. Smith,
Supt. of Schools Bayfield, Co.
Dear Miss Smith:
| have your card asking me for
an account of my trip to the State
Fair. l had a very delightful
trip and although L did not win
the gold medal, I had the honor
of being sixth in the contest.
There was only one boy left in
the contest after was spelled
down. A girl, Florence Peterson
of Racine county won the con-
test.
Now about the trip, | went, on
board the train at Ashland Mon
day evening Sept. IA. | travelled
the 344 miles to Milwaukee over
the Northwestern Line. 1t seem
ed a very long trip to me as I had
never travelled so far before. l
made the entire trip both ways
alone and got along all right.
l arrived Milwaukee between
seven and eight o'clock Tuesday
morning. | found that the
train / was on did not go to the
Fair grounds. Through some
mistake there was no one at the
station to meet me so | inquired
how / could get to the Fair
grounds. l was told to take a
street-caf- Or wait-fer- thetrain.
l boarded a street car and ar
rived at the Fair Grounds in
three fourths of. an hour; the
distance being about IL miles.
Arriving at,the Fair Grounds /
made my way,to the Educational
Building and reported to Supt.
Davies. He was very kind to me
and to all of the contestants. The
estof the forenoon we could go
where we liked. l gotacquainted
with alloy from Washburn coun-
ty who had his father with him.
| went around with them and
took in some of the sights until
noon.
Then Mr.. Davies took US to
dinner at the Baptist Dining
Hall. He gave his personal at
tention to see that everything
was all right for the contestants.
We had all our meals at the same
place and Mr.. Davies went with
us whenever he could.
In the afternoon we were taken
in charge by an official and
showed around the Fair Grounds.
We saw all kinds of fine cattle,
sheep, swine, horses and poultry.
A lady in charge Of some fancy
chickens informed our attendant
that the day before she had been
offered $50 for one chicken. l
tell you that made us think those
certainly must be fine chickens.

stand at the State Fair. It is
very high and seats great num-
Der of people. From the top of
it one can see all over the Fair
Grounds. The cattle barn is an
enormous steel framed building.
The judging pavilion is also a
large steel building. The county
exhibits building, the dairy build
ing and the horticultural building
are all of brick.
For sleeping quarters we were
Accommodated in house-tents. The
boys were all in one tent and
each had a separate bed. / went
to bed very early the first night
as | was tired from travelling the
night before.
Next morning we were all up
very early. After breakfast we
took a trip around the machinery

Few Instructions Were Civ
en- at State Wide Cau-
cuses Last Night
CHOICE OF CANDIDATES
LEFT TO CONVENTIONS
In Some Places Lively Con
tests Developed Between
Factions

Democratic caucuses held throughout
Vermont yesterday afternoon and last
night developed contests in some of the
cities and larger towns between factions
of the party but in almost no instances
were the delegates instructed as to
choice OF candidates to be voted for at
the state and district conventions to be
held in Burlington ON September %.
This lack OF instruction was probably
due to the fact that great uncertainty
exists in the ranks OF the party as TO
the makeup of the state and congress
sional tickets, few names having been
mentioned for any Office.
The old outbreak of trouble between
the so-called Burke and Browne faction
developed in several places, and in the
home city of the leader of the latter fac
tion. Rutland, the Burke men were the
winners in naming their delegates to the
conventions. Burlington and Montpelier
caueuses developed a division OF SEN
timent. while in Barre the gathering was
without a ripple.

BOTH OUTBREAKS SIMILAR.
Typhoid in Burlington and Barre Dis
cussed by State Board.

Burlington, Sept. 5.-The adjourned ses.
sion OF the regular monthly meeting OF
the state board of health, which began
at the state laboratory Thursday even
ing on its arrival in the city from st.
Johnsbury, was held yesterday morning,
all of the members of the board being
present. Reports from the secretary, DR..
.C. +. Dalton, and the heads of the va
rious departments were given in detail.
Dir. Dalton, in his report, went over in
detail the subject of infantile paralysis,
and also reported outbreaks of typhoid
fever in Burlington and Barre. Both
outbreaks appear to be due to infected
milk. Since July 25 there have been %
cases of typhoid fever in this city, all
with the exception of three being on one
milk route The situation, however, has
been practically cleared up and no new
cases have appeared since August 3
which could not be traced to the original
epidemic. II seems probable that this
was what is known as an explosive epi-
demic, where infection in the milk was
present for only a few days. A similar
outbreak occurred in Barre during the
last half of the month of August, re-
sulting in q cases. All but three of
these cases were on one milk route. Both
epidemics have been thoroughly inves-
tigated by the state board of health ilf
connection with the local boards.
As to other communicable diseases in
the state, DIR. Dalton reported that there
have been II cases of scarlet fever, IL
cases of diphtheria with one death, 27
L r.f
mumps. nine cases Of chickenpox and
one of German measles. A great deal of
work has ben done in connection with
the condition Of school houses. The re-
port showed that several towns in the
state were building new school houses
at the present time, and others had new
school houses in contemplation for next
year.

MORNING JOURNAL sUsPENDs.
Last Issue of the Paper Was Sent Out
This Morning.

With to-day's issue the Montpelier
Morning journal suspended publication,
announcement of the same being made
by the Journal Publishing Co. together,
with the statement that either the field
is too limited or else that the paper was
not appreciated. The contemporaries
announcement is as follows:
with this issue the Journal Publish
ing company suspends the publication Of
the Montpelier Morning Journal.
"It has been the aim of the present
management to produce a live, up-to-
date, daily, morning, Republican news
paper at the state capital, with the hope
and belief that the public would sup
port such an enterprise sufficiently to
warrant its continuance. Experience has
demonstrated either that the field is too
limited or that a newspaper of the kind
mentioned is not appreciated From
either aspect it is deemed advisable TO
suspend its publication.
"All unpaid bills will be adjusted and
all persons indebted to the company are
requested to settle same"

BURKE FACTION WON.
Defeated Browne Element in Caucus in
Rutland.

Rutland Sept. 5.-By vote OF loo TO
Sc the Burke faction delegates were
elected over the delegates representing
the Browne faction at Democratic eau
Gus in Baxter hall last night. In placing
his ticket in the field for nomination Ma
tional Committeeman Thomas H Browne
said he wished to explain the heading OF
the ticket, vote for harmony and
AGAINST outside inunence." Mr. Browne
said that when he refused to withdraw
the name of Mr.. McGovern for postmas-
ter at North Bennington several weeks
ago. Postmaster General Burleson said
to him that he would appoint either one
OF three umpires to settle all questions
of federal patronage in the state OF Yer
mont.
Mr.. Browne said he had been accused
OF fayoring the naming OF Martin A.
Brown OF Wilmington as the arbitrator,
but this he emphatically denied. 1t has
been rumored for many weeks that 'NNr
Brown of Wilmington was one OF the
strong figures in the distribution OF
federal patronage, but this is the first
out and out declaration of how he be-
came the mouthpiece of the patronage
distributors.

conference on the way things Progress
sive are shaping themselves up here

county ticket, and if the signs are not
misleading the outcome at the polls next
November is going long way toward
determining the real status of Progress
sivism in Washington county.
1t is reported unofficially that the
third party viii proceed to nominate
candidate tor city representative in
Barre. and it is a matter of common
knowledge that canvass in behalf OF

night were II. Nelson Jackson of Bur
lington, March NJ. Wilson, J. Edward
Ward of Barre, Washington county COM
