Small-time thieves along the route
from Boston to Barre relieved the citv's
new street department truck of its minor
trappings last week, but new sundries
have been supplied by the local agency
delivering the apparatus. Horns and
tools attached to the big tractor were
conspieuously absent when the heavy
lifters of the Vermont Trucking & Sales
Co. began their unloading movements.
The tryout promised by the company on
the arrival of the car in Barre is to be
extended few days before the machine
is formally taken over by the city. An
employee of the street department is
to operate the truck.
For an hour last night the rain maker
conferred his attention on some spot not
contiguous to City park and
during his absence the Barre Citizens
band managed to pack in good bit of
harmony between showers. Barring the
part il played in the morning parade to
Elmwood. the band made its first public
appearance of the season in an outdoor
concert and plainly proved that persist
ant practice can be reflected creditably.
An sdmixture of patriotic and popular
hrs made up program that was wholly
pleasant TO the ear; and a large crowd,
precursor of populous gatherings each
concert night through the summer, it is
o be hoped, applauded the musicians lib
rally.

MARKET DAY MAY q
SPECIAL BARGAINS AND FREE
AUCTION TO HOLD SWAY ONE
WEEK FROM SATURDAY.

Largely owing to the present be-
ing the busy season for farmers, il
was decided at last nights meeting
Of the Madison Merchants ~associa-
tion TO change the date of market
day from the last Wednesday in each
month TO the last Saturday in the
month.
Various members of the ~associa-
ton expressed the opinion that at
this time of year il would be diff
cult for farmers to leave their work
two days in the week. 1t was point
ed out that most farmers find il nee
essary to come to town on Saturday,
and that if special bargains are given
by the stores on that day, and a free
auction is arranged. practically all
the people in Madison's trade terri
tory would find il to their advantage
to take at least a part of each Sat
urday off and come to the city.
The next market day will be Sat
urday. May 27, and the men behind
the movement are going right to
work TO make the occasion a bargain
day in the rue sense of the word.
Not only will all the stores offer
goods at reduced prices, but every
body in the district. including resi-
dents of the city and of the country,
are invited to take advantage Of the
free auction sale, which will be held
at w. /. Thompson's barn, West
Fourth street. All articles, for
which owners have no immediate use
including implements, tools and fur
niture, may be auctioned without
cost TO the owner, as we'll as horses
or other live stock. Live stock
brought to the sale will be housed
free until claimed by the purchaser.

VOTING STARTS TO-DAY
PRIMARY ELECTION BALLOTS
CAST THIS FORENOON AT
OFFICE OF AUDITOR.

First ballots i'm the state and coun-
ty primaries in Lake county were
cast today.
ID. Sterling and F. A. Johnson,
both of Franklin township, were the
early voters. At the office of Coun-
ty Auditor Nj. ID. McGillivray today
the two men explained that they
were leaving at one for B~ellingham.
Wash, and that they would not re-
turn before the date of the pri-
maries, May %. After undergoing
the necessary formalities. credentials
were issued TO them by Mr.. McGilliv-
ray. acting in the capacity of notary
public, and they were allowed TO fill
u their ballots. The ballots were
sealed in envelopes, to be mailed 20
the election judges in the voters
home precinct.
Persons qualified to vote in any
section of the state may do so by
mail after obtaining credentials from
the county auditor. Several of those
who went from Madison yesterday TO
attend the 1. O. o. +. and Rebekah
grand lodge meeting at Hot Springs
and the spring term of federal court
i'm Deadwood, obtained tickets from
the county auditor before leaving.
In case the Madisonians are unable
TO return by May %. the tickets will
be filled out and mailed to election
judges here.
The law permitting voting by mail
was in force at the last county and
state election two years ago, but as
il was new and little understood,
scarcely any one took advantage of
il, Mr.. McGilliyray said.

TRIPLE FUNERAL
HAWARDEN MAN TELLS OF LAST
RITES PERFORMED-NANN
STAND IN RAIN.

A spectacle attended by pathos
more dire than has before in recent
years visited that section of the state
was the triple funeral last Sunday of
the three high school girl students
who were drowned last Thursday In
the Sioux river at Hawarden, la, ae-
cording to A. M. Mcdaniel, of Ha-
warden, who is visiting here with his
son, N. A. Mcdaniel.
The funeral service, which was at
tended by Mr.. Mcdaniel. was held in
the Hawarden Presbyterian church,
The three caskets were placed i'm a
row Immediately in front of the pull
pit. Three sombre hearses waited in
the churchyard, while the service,
which occupied nearly three hours.
was performed, Mr.. Mcdaniel said.
Although a drenching rain fell
throughout the afternoon. $50 OF
more persons stood, during the cere-
mony, in the open in front of the
church. Mr.. Mcdaniel told it had
been intended TO hold the service ON
the church lawn. but that the heavy
rain made ii necessary to forego that
plan.
1t is believed that at least one OF
the girls, Edna Foreman, who was
i'm Madison with the Hawarden high
school girls basket ball team last
winter, did not drown, but was killed
By being struck on the head by the
boat in which they were riding, when
the craft overturned. Miss Neva
Johnson, another of the drowned
girls. had abrasions on her forehead.
Both Miss Boreman and Miss
Johnson were members of this years
graduating class. Miss Foreman
was the only child of a widowed
mother. To provide means with
which to educate her daughter. Mrs.
Boreman had been clerking in a
store.
1t Is said that Miss Elizabeth Nc
Cartney. instructor in music in the
Hawarden high school, who was in
the boat with the girls who were
drowned, suffered a paralytic stroke
after being taken from the water.
and has been taken to Sioux City for
medical treatment.

LAKE RAILWAY WORK
BRIDGE CREW NOW AT WORK
ROAD Is TO BE RAISED
AND BAILASTED.

To avoid danger Of railway travel
to Lake Madison being held up by
high water, the spur track from the
Milwaukee main line to the lake is
going to be raised and otherwise inn
proved.
A bridge crew and work train
crew are now engaged in repairing
and making alterations to the bridge
on the spur track. The spur is about
three-quarters of a mile in length,
and approaches the lake from the
south.
1t is also intended to raise the
track, which new is nearly or a level
with the prairie. 1t Is said that In
some places the road bed will be ele-
waited to nearly six feet. Gravel bal
last will be used, and it is predicted
that ballasting will start in time to
have the road bed completed before
the opening of the chautauqua, late
next month. Owing to water or the
track last spring and summer, it was
thought that travel over the line
would have to be abandoned.
The secondary main track, in front
Of the Milwaukee passenger station,
which will be used by passenger
trains on the S. c. & ID. division, has
been completed, and will be put into
service as soon as a new platform
can be built between the two main
