word brought back to President Wilson
today by friends .eturning from the
Democratic convention.
"Thc fight will be in the cities But
wen win with our big majority in the
country districts" they added.
This, in brief, sums mp the state OF
mind reflected in administration circles
today. The President and his friends
are confident of victory but admit the
coming battle will be royal one.
Plans for the campaign will not take
definite shape until the President has
conferred with his new manager, Vance
| C.. Mccormick, who probably will come
to Washington next week.
The bulk OF the campaign will be
/ handled from Washington. The Presi-
dent Is not expected to leave the cap
ital for any prolonged stay until Con-
gress adiourns. IL is possible he may
make some extended speaking trips in
the fall. Plans are afoot to have him
60 as far as the western coast.
Great satisfaction was expressed in
Democratic circles today over the
platform adopted II demonstrates
two things, party leaders declare
first. that the President does not wan
that portion Of the -hyphenated vote
which is not for America first, an'
second. that he has firm conviction
on the leading issues Of the day
which he has set forth "withou
pussy-footing. Open interest an
E satisfaction is shown at the Whit
2 House in reports that pro-Germa
% publications are coming out in sur
o. port OF Hughes.

greatest woman horse trainer in the
world, is a firm believer in the theory
that the way TO reach horses heart
is through his stomach.
"Nou cannot train a horse by sever

and sugar are the two essential things
Just as a horse eats from instinct, 81
he learns tricks. Usually the eating Is
at the bottom of his entire education
He performs his tricks for the most part
because he knows he will receive some

Lovers of beautiful horses will find
much to admire in the wonderful statu-

These wonderful animal performers have

their marvellous posing acts are consid-
cred the last word in high class train

persistency on the part of both trainer
and animals, almost impossible TO OBJ

ternoon and evening This new play
of Mr.. Royle is entirely out OF the

have appeared in big productions
which have pleased Wilmingto dur

to believe that Peace and Quiet is
going to be one of the successes of
next season in New York after some
changes are made in it. Wilmington
has expressed its approval, and there

CRUSHED TO DEATH
Wright A. Chesley Fatally Injured
In Elevator AT New Post Office
Was Popular Carrier.

Shortly before eight o'clock Friday
morning, Wright A. Chesley was
caught in the elevator in the new Cal
derwood block and so badly crushed
that he died about Is minutes after
reaching the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. H. A. Chesley, on Lafayette
street. No one saw the accident and
the young man was unable to explain
how it happened before he died He
was about to start out with the mail
of his route, r. F. d. No. A. and it is
supposed stepped to the elevator to
go down to the basement and out of
the building. Evidently he did not
open the gate to the elevator but
reached inside and pulled the rope the
wrong way as the elevator shot up
caught him and pinioned him between
the floor of the elevator and the floor
and partition of the floor above.
Two or three men were in the post
Office sorting the mail but did not see
or hear him. Assistant Postmaster
Walter Kellogg was at the delivery
window waiting on a patron and heard
an unusual noise. He turned but saw
nothing unusual, the door to the ele-
vator hiding young Chesley. AS soon
as he finished at the window Kellogg
stepped back and found Chesley pin
ned there with his legs hanging down
inside the postoffice. Kellogg started
the elevator downwards and released
the young man who had been caught
across the lower chest and abdomen
and terribly crushed.
Dr. W. J. Aldrich was called and
Mr.. Calderwood took the young man
home in his ambulance. He was able
to greet his mother and recognized his
father after being taken into his home
but died in a few minutes.
Mr. Chesley was 21 years old and
had been a rural carrier for about a
year. He was very popular on his
route and was we'll liked by a large
circle of acquaintances in the village.
He is survived by his father and
mother and one sister, Hazel Chesley.
H. A. Chesley, the father, was slightly
injured Saturday afternoon. He
started to drive down town to make
arrangements for the funeral and the
hold backs were not properly fasten-
ed. The sleigh struck the horse caus-
ing it to run and it threw Mr.. Chesley
from the sleigh at the foot of Gale
donia street. He had one hand and
one leg quite severely bruised and the
ligaments in his wrist badly strained.
The funeral was held from the
Chesley home Monday at two o'clock
and was very largely attended. The
bearers were Burleigh Carpenter.
Perley Amidon, William Hall, Everett
Montgomery, Wendell Drew, and Eu-
gene Dennis. The interment was in
Mount Pleasant cemetery.
Those called here to attend the fu-
neral were Mrs. Eva Aver Cameron
and Mrs Blanche Aver Davis of Wal
lingford, Amasa Simpson of Lyndon
Vile, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Chesley,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Barber, and l..
c. Chesley of Sheffield, A. A. Barber
and Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hovey and
son Ralph of Lyndonville.

CIVIL CASES NEARLY DONE
County Court May Reach Criminal
Docket This Week-An Effort
To Continue Hatch Case

Caledonia county court resumed its
sessions at nine O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing after a recess from Saturday. The
case of Orrin w. Kittredge VS.. w.
owen Harvey was called but owing to
the alleged sickness of Mr.. Harvey it
was passed and the case of Farmers
Company VS.. Connecticut Valley Co.
was called. This suit is brought to
recover for a quantity of logs cut and
delivered. 1t is expected this case will
| be followed by the case Of Walter j.
Aldrich VS.. Boston and Maine Rail-
road and unless the Kittredge-H Harvey
case is ready then it will finish the
civil docket.
The criminal docket will be taken
up then and it is expected some of the
smaller cases will be heard first. An
attempt will be made to have the case
against Hatch for manslaughter tried
as soon as Attorney-General Barber
can come The attorneys for Hatcn
have asked the state officers to have
the case continued but the state does
not want the case neglected longer.
In the case of Martin D. Turner VS..
D. J. Howard the jury returned YER
dict for the defendant.
The breach of promise case of Ag-
mes McGovern VS.. Edward Riley that
was expected to follow this case did
not materialize as a settlement was
announced. Miss McGovern was paid
$1,000 damages.
Edward MCGOWAN was brought into
court and pleaded guilty to petit lar
ceny, for breaking into the store of
G.. E. Wallace at East Ryegate some
time ago, and he was sentenced to
serve from three to four months in
the county Jail.
In the case of Nelson A Park, Admr.
of Estate of Peach Thomas VS.. Flora
A. Bowles and Trustees, verdict was
given the defendant.
The last case for the week was that
of Theresa M. Dionne VS.. American
Express Co. in which the plaintiff
sought to recover for goods left on the
platform of the depot at Sheldon
Junction and burned with the depot
during the night. The jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff to recover
s2s475. The case will be appealed
to the supreme court.
