Two OF those VINO are TO be eandl
dates for county senator, have author

last session, standing for several Of the
improvements in the handling of the
states business. Mr.. Dwinell is mer'
chant in Calais, well known in that sec.
ton of the county. He was instru-
mental in securing a shorter open deer
season and getting IL shifted into an
earlier date for opening He did con-
siderable work upon the bill TO secure
more strict gambling law and saw the
results of his labors in that matter.
Sheriff II. H. Tracy will undoubtedly
be a candidate for denomination at the
coming primaries. In the last few days
many Of his friends have approached him
on the matter. He Is agreeable to a re-

staff for next year. These are Miss
Marion Brown, who taught Latin, and
Miss Buckins, the teacher of shorthand
and typewriting. Both are very able
teachers. Miss Brown was also precept-
ress, so that which will make the posi-
ton more difficult to fill.
Miss Florence Seguin of Hartford,
Conn, is visiting relatives here.

nington as municipal Judge, taking the

The following information, sent to the
ifferent presidents of the eastern rail
Dads which include the New England j
Dads, may have played prominent part
n the change in the train schedule in =
rhich the passengers coming to this sec 8
ion from New Hampshire and points !
outh on the Boston and Maine railroad 9
yill get their connections at Wells Riv- {
r. 1t may also play an important part
I the accommodations of persons from y
his part of the state going to points on r
he Rutland railroad. The part of the
rder most interesting to the public is:
We have received several complaints in o
gard to the failure of the railroads to .,
AXE desirable passenger train connec- d
ons, particularly at intermediate points
here it can be done by only slight re- a
ljustment in train schedules Often Fl
ese connections are broken by a few Y
inutes Of time, but the resultant de-
v to passengers is several hours. O
Under government control there can y
no excuse for conditions of this char u
ter and it would seem advisable to "
we a general investigation made with
e view of eliminating cases of the kind ca
hen it can be done consistently. | feel q
re if in our efforts to reduce train mile W
e, we show an inclination to make
avel conditions convenient for the to
lblic, that action win be appreciated tr
d will go far towards offsetting the
noyance that is likely to be felt by hf
ason of the discontinuance of numer- h,
5 passenger trains" m
This order is signed by A. H. Smith, OF
e regional director, with the view of nc
oiding complaint or criticism on the
TT of the travelling public. 1t is known W.
ut recently an effort was made to re- to
lin from holding the Montpelier and Sn
ellis River train at Wells River for Es
, mail train from Bradford, but re-
lily it was announced that the train Nh
uld wait for that connection If the F.
in did not wait, then persons not tn
owing of the poor connections COM iaI
!. from that direction on Saturdays, tor
uld be obliged TO wait at Wells Riy- HI
until Monday. This train will get we
o Montpelier about the same time as no
". However, the departing afternoon 4
in will leave at LILO as it did until pls
$ winter When this change was made
sons going from here lost their CON COZ
tion for Lancaster, n. H., and inter al
ling points. Now, with the train Dee
wing at l:l0, they will catch that ag'
nection so that on the whole the new no
inner schedule, which goes into effect ing
nday, will improve conditions. !
