 Build Houses
 Martin Leach, Sen, soon after. be- gan the erection of a house little south of Perrin's saloon, and within q couple of months Dr. Hough also began the erection of his house and finished it before Leach did his. This was on the first of January, 1s45, and marked the first incipient change from two sole cotton manufacturing centres into the now extended town with thriving diversified and numer- ous industries.
 At that time the old brick school house stood on the crest of a high hill west Of Manning & Beonard's present store, and was approached only from where the First National Bank is now located.
 A one story two-tenement house occupied the site whereon stands the Bank, and another tenement stood where the stores of A. Nj. Parker anc B. D. Bugbee stand. It was also on, story but was a single tenement. ana at that time occupied by Mir. Mowry father of Roger Mowry, still resident here.
 With the exception of a grain crib tool house. and the saw mill, with q large barn which stood where the Con. gregational church is. the foregoing comprised all the buildings north of the street leading to the bridge. The large house, on the south side, above the ditch. still standing, backing up the steep school-house hill, comprised all the improvements east of the ditch

In Defense of Bluebeard.

An association has been formed in
France for the purpose Of instituting
legal proceedings for the retrial of
famous criminal. Several noted his
torians and the librarian of the French
Academy have Joined hands to redeem
from infamy a man condemned some
years ago. In fact, it was just 385
years ago that Giles de Laval. Baron
de Retz, was accused Of sorcery, con-
victed and burned at the stake. The
purpose OF the newly formed associa.
tion Is to reopen the case and secure a
new trial on the ground of freshly
discovered evidence.
Giles de Laval has come down by
tradition to the present by another
name, more familiar than his own. He
was the infamous "Bluebeard," of
whom horrid tales were told, tn.
slayer of wives, the keeper of a secre;
chamber where their bodies hung. the
owner of mysterious key. In addf-
tion to sercery be was actually ac-
cused of Numbering some 500 women
and children. But the prosecution of
LAO, was not concerned with this
wholesale slaughter. -Bluebeard" was
mainly accused of engaging in black
arts, specifically of making gold. He

The Inauguration Program.

Curtailment Of the inauguration
ceremonials to the lowest terms causes
the local committee named to pro-
vide for the entertainment and COM
fort of visitors to the Capital on that
occasion to reduce its program to
minimum. The citizens have been
willing to subscribe funds in abun-
dance. bat the committee has wisely
decided with the approval of the Presi-
dent to spend no more than is abso-
lutely necessary for the simple cere-
monial that is planned
At the Capitol there will be an Of
ficial ceremony, the President taking
the oath Of Office in the open in the
presence Of a multitude. That is the
limit Of official requirements. Indeed,
the President could take the oath of
Office privately or in one Of the legisla-
tive chambers, with no outdoor pro-
ceedings whatever. Custom, however,
has decreed that the Chief Executive
shall subscribe to the oath in the pres
ence OF the people. As soon as he has
done so. and has delivered the address
which is traditional upon that occa-
sion, the formal ceremony is at an
end.
The progress of the President, new
ly sworn faithfully to discharge the
duties Of his ofice, on his return to
the White House has been the occa.
sion Of the greatest demonstration of
the program heretofore. with recent
notifications. A great concourse of
troops. Federal and State. and of rep
resentative organizations OF citizens
from different parts Of the country
has attended him on that short Jour-
ney which marks his entrance upon
his term Of Office. Vast throngs Of
people have come to witness that pro-
cession. This year there viii be COM
paratively small array. 1t Is estimated
that the parade will pass within three
quarters Of an hour. 1t is doubtful
whether sufficient number of people.
local or visitors, would desire or re-
quire special seating facilities to view
the parade to warrant the construc.
ton of stands.
With no inaugural ball of the tradi-
tional and semi-official character, and
with no fireworks to mark the close
OF the day, the program resolves it
self to the official ceremony at the
Capitol and the brief parade of sol
diery escorting the President to his
Official home. The citizens committee
has proceeded wisely, though with
great reluctance. in curtailing it's
preparations.

The Presidential Election.

Today in joint session Congress
tial election held in November by
counting the electoral votes and de-
claring the result. This is in accord
ance with a statute enacted February
3. 1887, which carries out the pro-
vision of the Constitution that the
votes Of the electors cast in their
several States shall be transmitted to
the President of. the Senate at Wash
ington, and by him opened in the pres
ence of the two houses of Congress
In joint session and counted On this
occasion, as on all others but three in
the history of the country, today's pro-
cedure is the merest formality, for the
result of the vote is decisive and be-
yond the possibility of question or
further action. The electors have cast
382 votes for Calvin Coolidge for Presi-
dent and Charles G.. Dawes for Vice
President, 1876 votes for John w. Davis
and Charles w. Bryan and 13 votes
for Robert M. La Toilette and Burton
K. Wheeler. Having received a ma
jority Of all the votes cast, Calvin
Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes are
declared elected President and Vice
President, respectively.
A few months ago. however, the DOS.
sfbility of another procedure in the
House on this second Wednesday in
February. designated by statute, was
being considered and discussed by the
country. 1t was computed that no
candidates might receive a majority
or the electoral votes. In that event
the House of Representatives would
at once proceed to elect President.
while the Senate elected the Vice
President. And it was further COM
puted that under the constitutional
provision that the vote in the House
should be taken by States. no person
would receive a majority of those
votes, owing to the division of State
delegations. This, unless party lines
were broken, would in effect threw
the election of the Chief Executive of
the country into the Senate. That DOS
sibility undoubtedly influenced a great
number Of voters and contributed to
the result which Is recorded today.
On two OCCASIONS In the past the
