in which to prepare for closing. The
question of license will then remain
closed for three years. 1t is general
ly conceded that Pope county will be
overwhelmingly dry. The people
who are circulating the petition this

quired number of signatures within

Lantern Which Lighted Way
in Washington's Time is
Property Of Morris Man

A lantern which may have shed its
feeble rays to light the hurrying feet
of the ancestry of O.. F. Tewksbury,
OF this city, as they hastened to the
first continental congress from Yer.
mont one hundred and forty years
ago, Or it may have lit the path Of
some of the "Green Mountain Boys
as they rallied about the standards of
Gen. Stark or Col. Wane and defeated
Gen. Baum at Bennington two years
later, was brought to Morris last
week by Mr.. Tewksbury. 1t was
handed down to him as a treasured
family heirloom upon his recent visit
to the old folks back home. A clear
family record dating back one hundred
and forty years takes account Of the
lantern at that time. and Mr.. Tewks-
bury naturally treasures his prize very
highly.
The lantern is constructed after the
fashion of up-to-date lanterns in the
time of George Washington. 1t is
made Of tin plate and instead of the
glass globe and Kerosene receipt acle OF
its present.day brother. it has a tin
globe with holes and Sits throug the
sides. On, the bottom is network
to hold candle. the wick of which is
about the thickness of a lead pencil.
Less than one-third of the tin surface
covering the camille is devoted to
holes and slits and the light il sheds
is correspondingly small. 1t is the
same kind of lantern which sign.

Of Gen. Warren he took his memor.
able midnight ride through Charles
ton to Concord and Lexington, to
warn the people of the approach Of
Gen. Gage. The light was fastened in
the belfry of the church in Boston.
Mr.. Tewksbury has consented to
display the lantern in the windows at
the Offices of the electro light com
pany in this city where it may be
found today. 1t will be lighted this
evening alongside an improved elec.
tric lightsbnlb and those who wish to
get an idea Of the great difference in
the lighting conveniences in Washing
tons time and the present, will find a
visit to the historic relic very inter-
esting. The rays from lantern like
that one aroused the whole country
and quickened the martial thread on
two hemispheres!

are Reduced
Sentiment in Stevens County
Regarding Liquor Traffic
Shown in Tuesday Ballot

Election day in Stevens county
passed off quietly with about normal
vote being cast in all the voting pre-
cincts. Only one ticket was up in
the majority of townships and only
two Of the villages in the county voted
on the question of license. Aside from,
this there were no vital> issues at
stake.
At Hancock there was small con-
test on the choice of marshal which
brought out larger vote than was ex-
pected. The liquor ticket was given
a decided jolt but managed to pull
through with majority of nine votes.
a year ago the vets carried the day
by majority OF sixteen. No special
work had been done by the drys pre-
ceeding the election and the detection
from a year ago is said to be a fair
indication Of the rapidly changing
sentiment on the liquor question at
Hancock
At Chokio the vote on license was
alse taken with majority for the
vets. Prior: tc election day it was
freely predicted that license would
carry by majority all the way from
twenty to thirty, but when the votes
were counted the vets had only six
votes to the good. There was no ap.
parent anti. saloon sentiment at
Chokio when the polls opened.
Alberta, Donnelly and Morris failed
to vote on the license question this
year.
Herman will be the only wet town
in Grant county by greatly reduced
majority.
Cyrus, which bad been dry the past
year, endorsed the dry policy with a
two to one vote. Norcross and Camp
bell will also be dry.
The returns by townships in Stevens
county will be given next week when
a full report can be secured.
