Fire Destroys the Home of Carl F.. Bengston in Beckley -. S-Year- Old Woman Visiting Here-Church Mo- ticcS-BerIin Items of Interest,

Although members of the Tndeper : den: Political association oi this town have previously stated that this or sanitation would not place candi- date on the floor for selec.nlar or :ax collector, at well attended and very enthusiastic meetin,, of tho associa . ton he'd in Forester's hall .a.st ever ing, th1 name of George Baldwin, of KensinStoR was endorsed as their can didate for first seicctman at the com ing republican caucus and E. G. Rob- ins of East Berlin was endorsed for tax collector at the somo caucus.
 The members Of the club feel that in these two men. they have the strongest possible candidates for tho respective offices and no doubt exists in the minds of the mem bers of their ability to give the town, if nominated and elected, the most thorough and businesslike administration Berlin has ever had.
 There was a good attendance at the meeting last night and those present were all in favor of the above named possible candidates. They feel that MT. Baldwin and MT. Robins have been residents of the town for many years and are we'll acquainted with lOcdl dlI II MT 1LO D1nS IS nOH- mated ne will oppose MT. Lewis of hensinston for the offics; Of tax col lector. If MT. Baldwin is nominated for first selectman, it ia not known whom he will oppose, as no other nominees have been mentioned and First Selectn'an Carter has not made public a statement to the effect that he would again be a candidate for that position. With the above action of the Independent Political organization, Berlin is bound to have an interesting political war during the month of September.

 The fire occurred at about o'clock and a call was sent to New Britain to which Engine company No. 2, re- sponded A younger member of the family stated this morning that his mother woke up early this morning and heard a noise which sounded like rain. Going to the window she saw that it was not raining and went downstairs. On opening the door down stairs, smoke poured into the hallway and Mrs. BengSton imme- diately went upstairs and woke the rest of the family The Bengston fam fly got out of the house but did not have time to save any of the furni- ture before the building was a mass of flames. The origin of the fire is not known

court last Friday afternoon, Mrs. Stel-

adjudged to be of unsound mind and

convey the unfortunate woman to the
hospital, for which place she left Sat-
urday morning.
The patient, somewhat frail and
delicate woman, was by no means
fractions or hard to manage and Mrs.
Robertson made the journey in per-
feet safety and reached home in time
to attend Sunday school next morn
ing. She went direct to Ste. Genevieve
and secured a service car, driving the
thirty miles across to Pennington and
returning to Ste. Genevieve in time
to catch the night train. This is prob
ably the first time in the history of the
county-and so far as we know, of any
other county-when an insane patient
has been transported to an asylum by
women, unassisted.
Mrs. Molett is probably 80 years of
age and is the mother of several chill
dren. Her mental condition is prob
ably the result of bad health.-Ca-

Remarkable Honors
Paid Washington on
His Inaugural Trip

At the time he was unanimously
elected President, Washington was the
idol of his country, and his name and
fame were known to the entire civ
ilized world. His trip from his beau
tiful home on the Potomac was inter-
rupted by receptions, fetes, addresses
and dinners Every person who was
able to reach the roads along which
he was to pass, or the cities selected
as stations on his slow journey north
ward, joined the throngs that made
his trip the most triumphal procession
this continent had witnessed. To those
thousands who lined the roads from
Virginia to New York, the great, seri-
Gus figure of the "Father of his Coun-
try" was the center of all their nation
al hopes.
On April g. 1889, both houses of
congress met in New York city, at
the time the capital, and elected
George Washington President of the
United States. No other name had
been proposed. For Vice President
there were eleven nominations John
Adams receiving the highest vote
thirty-four--was announced elected.
Washington received sixty-nine votes.
As soon as it could be arranged,
Charles Thomson, secretary of con.
gress, was dispatched to Mount Yer
non to apprise General Washington Of
his election. Thomson, who had been
secretary of the continental congress-
reached Washington's home on April
IA, between 10 and IL o'clock in the
morning The master of Mount Yer
non was making his usual tour of his
farms and Mrs. Washington enter
tanned the messenger of the congress.
Before sunrise on the morning of
April 16 messenger had come from
Alexandria with an invitation to a
public dinner there, and in his diary
for the day Washington wrote:
"About 10 O'Clock babe adieu to
Mount Vernon, to private life, and to
domestic felicity, and with a mind OPP
pressed with more anxious and pain

express, set out for New York, in

Washington Type Of
Highest Citizenship

In the formal observance of the an
niversary Of the birth of George Wash
lngton II is well to pause to reflect
upon the character of the man to
whom the American people owe the
utmost debt Of gratitude. His sery-
ices were rendered in the supreme
hour of trial and in the dark days of
national birth AS soldier and as
statesman Washington stood supreme
ly the leader Of the people.
Putting aside all speculation as to
what Washington would have done In
this or in that specific situation of
modern days, it can and should always
be borne in mind that he would as
suredly have been for a strong gov
eminent, for the highest type Of citi-
zenship, for devotion to single al
legiance, and for the broadcast possible
spread of education. He could not
have favored or fostered a spirit of
revolt against the established institu-
tons, save by the legal and definitely
appointed means. He had rebelled
against the tyranny of British rule
He had led the American colonists in
to victorious independence. But he
could never have sustained q move
ment of mere dissent conducted out
side the pale of law or employing the
weapons of sedltion.
George Washington was a patriot In
the truest sense, true to his convic-
tons, true to the institutions that had
been set up here in substitution for
the colonial administration which Of
Tended the sense of justice even of
Britons of that day. He guided the
new government capably. without a
chart. finding the way carefully and
sagaciously He felt that though this
new government had been set up In
revolt, 1t must be conducted in a spirit
of universal acceptance by the people
of the principles that had been adopt
ed as its foundation.
There Is no support for the radicals
Of today in the fact that George Wash
lngton was a rebel against the rule of
King George. His example will never
serve to Justify sedition or intrigue or
selfish class alignments seeking to
overturn that which has been reared
through nearly century and half
Of painStaking, consistent develop
ment based upon the principle Of the
general welfare and the cooperation
of all the people.

FARM Films.

The crooks and the vamps, the
baby blonde and the hero with the
cleft chin will all have to stage
fadeaway. The farmers are going
into the movies. The Farmers
Film corporation has been formed
with the head of the National
Dairy association as its secretary
and with its headquarters in Chic
cago.
Films will be made covering every
phrase of farm activity and distri-
button of products. The prospective
plan for foreign trade-fnancing
corporation will be set forth. No
effort will be made to draw conclu-
sions, but the films will place the
facts Of farming before the public.
The department of agriculture and
similar state and private agencies
are back of the plan.
The object of the films Is educa-
tional. 1t is hoped that they will
bring the consumer and the farmer
together in a better understanding
and tend to the elimination Of those
undesirable factors which rob both.
The secretary says of the scheme:
Il believe the whole problem OF pro-
duction and distribution is on the
threshold of solution by this new
method. We are on the verge OF a
new era that Is to wipe out forever
the clash of interest ana result in
justice and economy not only for the
farmer, but for the consumer OF
food in the city" He seems over
sanguine, but much may come OF 1t.
