(Entered at the Brattleboro post office as second class mail matter.) THE ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT. Americans everywhere heard of the at tack upon ex-President Roosevelt with shudders of horror and abhorrence. There Is general rejoicing In the reassuring news that Col. Roosevelt will recover. The event reminds us again that our great public men nre never safe from the bullets of the" fanatic. Three American presidents have died from the assassin's hand within less than 50 years, and our only living ex-presldent has escaped un der circumstances which could not be re peated without n fatal result. We may surround our men In high places with police and secret service men, but so long as they appear at public functions and mingle freely with the people they are never safe. It would have been no difficult undertaking for any crank to have killed either Roosevelt or Taft when they recently made trips by automobile through New England, speaking In many towns and cities. Col. Roosevelt cer tainly demonstrated the strenuous life, of which he Is the foremost exponent. In declaring that he would make his speech or die after he was shot Monday night. It took courage and nerve for a man with a bullet deeply Imbedded In his chest to stand up to address an audience an hour before receiving surgical treat ment. We may disagree with Col. Roosevelt with the' policies which he Is advocating In this campaign and with his 'present attitude toward President Taft and the Republican party, but none of us will deny that he Is a brave and resourceful man. We do not believe that the Inten sity of the campaign brought about the near-tragedy. The papers on the person of the assailant, showing that he believed he had been visited In a dream by, the spirit of President McKlnley nnd order ed to avenge McKlnley's murder, Indicate pretty consluslvely a disordered mind. Whether tho uttack will have any ef fect on the result of the campaign Is a question which no one can answer now, but It will undoubtedly have a tendency to ameliorate bitterness In the discussions' of the next two weeks. President Taft Is not discussing politics from the stump, and Gov. Wilson recognizes the propri eties in announcing that he shall give up his share in the speaking campaign until such time as Col. Roosevelt is suf ficiently recovered to resume. President Tuft's order Tuesday trans ferring 35,000 more fourth clnss post masters to the classified service was ubout the final blow In knocking out the spoils system in .politics. Boston Americana World's Championship. With Wood pitted against Tesreau Boston won Its second victory from New York Friday In tho world's series. The game was played at New York nnd the score was 3-1. Boston made eight hits, New York nine. Gardner, the Ver mont 'boy, was a factor In the victory, scorliig two runs and hitting the ball for a single nnd triple. Boston won a third victory on the homo grounds Saturday, 2 to 1, The hero of the contest was Boston's youngest pitcher, Hugh Bedlent, formerly ot the Fall River club of tho New England lengue. He held New York to three hits. New. York came back Monday, tak ing the game 5 to 2. O'Brien, who start ed on the slab for Boston, was pounded all over the lot In the first Inning, when all of New York's runs were scored. Collins, who took his place In the sec ond Inning, held New York scoreless the remainder of the game. Now York pounded Joe Wood for seven hits nnd six runs In the first In ning at Boston Tuesday, and then touched Hall for five runs and nine hits In the remainder of the game, win ning easily 11 to 4. Boston found Tes reau for nine hits. Including a homer In the second Inning by Larry Gardner. This was the first four-sacker of the scries, but It was duplicated a little Liter In the gamo by Capt. Doyle of New York. , Boston won tho final game and cham pionship Wednesday, 3 to 2, 11 Innings. The veteran Mathewson wns pitted against tho youthful Bedlent. New York scored a am In the third Inning. Bos ton tied the scoro In the seventh, when Henrikson. a pinch hitter, with a two bagger, brought Capt. Stahl home. Wood went Into the box for Boston In tho eighth and finished tho game. New York secured another run In tho 10th. In tho Inst half of this Inning Snodgrass muffed a lly from Englo's bat, and the runner reached second. Af ter Hooper went out on n lly to Snod grass, Yerkes wns passed. Speaker hit safely and Englo scored. With two on bases Gardner hit n long fly to Devoro and Yerkes came home with the win ning run. A Log on the Track of the fast express means serious trouble ahead If not removed, so does loss of appetite. It means lack of vi tality, loss of strength and nerve weak ness. If appetite falls, take Electric Bitters quickly to overcome the cause by toning up tho stomach, and curing the Indigestion. Michael Hesshetmer of Lincoln, Neb,, had been sick over three years, but six bottles of Electric Bit ters put him right on his feet again. They have helped thousands. They give pure blood, strong nerves, good digestion. Only 50 cents at Wilfred F, Root's and at F, II. Holden's. BRATTLEBORO PERSONAL. Mrs. Margaret Gntty went to Spring field, Mass., yesterday.

NEW RAILROAD WILL BE DOUBLE TRACKED $3000 Diamond Stuck in Rock Deep Under River Bed Gem Will Be Recovered Railroad Opera tions to Extend Beyond Time Sped fled In Contract. The lmportnnt nnd interesting develop ment In the Boston & Maine railroad work In tho past few days has been tha decision of the company to double track the road for the entire distance between South Vernon and Bmttleboxo. Rumors that this might be done wero current a, few weeks ngo, but no definite decision was made and the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins corporation, wero not Instructed, to make fills for two tracks. Their con tract required that all the culverts', cuts, piers ami abutments be made for two. tracks, but the other work was to be for one track, It being the Intention of the railroad company to have the fills widen ed nt a later date. It has now been de cided to make the fills of two-track width while the men and apparatus are hero and when the work can bo' done more cheaply than at any other time. The original contract with the builders called for the completion of their -work by Nov. 1, but they have already Ooni more work than the contract specified, so It will be Impossible to finish Th& Job by that date. The present plan Is to build a single track and put It In operation and then build the other track. The fill north from the bridge abutment on the Vermont side of the river has reached a point near tno engine house In the southern part of the railroad yard. The work c-f laying the granite pier In tho big open caisson for pier No. 2 will be begun about the middle of next week. It will Interest many to know that a. $3000 diamond Is Imbedded in the rock under tho river bed where the bridge operations are In progress, but the fnct Is not likely to cause a rush of miners to the spot. It is safe over night, be cause Is Is covered with 10 feet of rock, 12 feet of dirt and 28 feet of water, but Its exact location Is known by the con tractors and It will be "mined" In due time. This diamond did not come there through the forces of nature, but brpke off from the end of a diamond drill. Samples of the river bed are taken to. Bhow the condition of the foundation for the bridge, and for this purpose workmen were operating a steam drill with a large diamond point. After being sunk through 12 feet of dirt and 10 feet Into the rock botton the drill twisted off. A pipe will be sunk directly over the spot and In side the pipe a hole will be drilled larger than the one whero the diamond is, and in that way the Jewel will be recovered. LOCAL OVERFLOW. A dance will be held In Odd Fellows' hall tonight. The new Oak Grove school building will be open for inspection from 2 to 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
