Never In-fore in Iht liiidory has Braille
boro faced a brighter procct than that
which greets her nt the .lawn if BH'-- At
the close of a year which ha seen all local
building records broken her ieo.le are
looking forward to another which promi
to set new martin in her industrial and
commercial life, BrattlcWo's material
progress diirinu the year now drawing to
close i well diwriU'd in an illustrated
article appearing elsewhere in thin paper;
her opiiortunitie for further expansion
are cleverly depicted in the cartoon at the
top of this page. There arc in truth many
other things that Unit t lc boro can have if
her people arc ready to receive them. The
likelihood that more industries will locate
here was never stronger than it is nt
present. Closer communication with the
West River valley is probable through im
proved service on the railroad which nerves
that territory. H is not too much to hope
that the time is not. far distant when trol
ley connection with towns to the south
ward will become a reality. Indeed, there
are more than a few people who are will
ing to predict a railroad between here and
Wilmington. All of these cherished hopes
probably will not lie realized in 1012, but
it is safe to say that the time of their ful
fillment is rapidly drawing near.
A young Ycrmontcr, sound in wind and
fleet of foot, A. L. Guttemon of Spring
field, is given a place on both the All-Anie-rican
and All-Collegiate athletic teams of
the year, his place on the former resting
upon his ability ns a broad jumper and on
the latter on his skill as a low hurdler.
Outterson is a student in the University of
Vermont and will in all probability be se
lected for the American Olympic team that
is to compete in Stockholm next summer.
As a famous personage he really has it on
President Guy Totter Benton despite the
heroic efforts of the lattcr's medium of
painful publicity, the Free Press.
If Bennington county has to choose be
tween its lieutenant-governor candidate,
Frank E. Howe, and its attorney-general
candidate, Frank C. Archibald, the action
will be a good test of its political attitude.
Howe is progressive in every sense of the
word; Archibald is not.
Now that Montpclior has through train
service to and from Boston its inhabitants
will soon be wondering how they could have
remained content to live so long on a
branch line;
Monday is New Year's day, but 1011
pennies will continue to be worth some
thing over $10.
Joseph is .making a serious mistake in
getting peevish so early in the campaign.
The Silver Platter Club.
(Windsor Journal.)
On the roster of officers of the Silver
Platter club, as announced after its meet
ing on Nov. 18. we do not find the names
of the Rev, J. Hall Long of Lewis and the
Hon. Wallace N. Batchelder of Bethel. Let
there be created the office of club chaplain.
It is said to have been through the activity-of
the Hon. Allen M. Fletcher that the
inmates of a public institution in Mont
pelier were spared the form of punishment
suggested by the Rev. J. Hall Long. If
Mr. Lone is onen to encasement and would
accept reward for services rendered or to
be rendered, the silver natter ciun woum
be doing a graceful thing in tendering the
club chaplaincy to him. The club may also
well consider the need of a steward. Be
fore the office which seeks the man is to
be presented upon the silver platter to the
Hon. Joseph Altruist DeBoer it will be
necessary, in the natural course of events,
for the club to acquire the head of the
Hon. Allen M. Fletcher. Who could more
nnnronriatelv or with creator zest bear Mr.
Fletcher's head upon the silver platter or
charger than the lion. Wallace IN. uatcn
elder, club steward? We trust that Messrs
Long and Batchelder iriay promptly be
nominated for the respective positions we
have named.

CURES CATARRH
Antiseptic, Healing, Mentholatum
Quickly Kills Catarrh
Germs
Catarrhal troubles can be cured only by
an antiseptic treatment that kills both
the catarrhal germs and soothes and heals
the irritated mucous membrane.
Apply a little Mentholatum to the nasal
passages at night and while you sleep
the treatment does its healing work and
at the same time kills the catarrhal germs..
Its action is almost immediate; the first
night's treatment gives you great relief.
You can buy a 25 cent jar of Menthol
atum from any druggist with guarantee
of money back if it does not do all that
is claimed for it. This is the most eco
nomical treatment for catarrh that was
ever known as one package will last two
weeks or more. Every home should
have a jar of Mentholatum as it is in
valuable for all cases of inflammation, sore
ness, etc. :.. j.

Prudential Committee Authorized
to Make Purchase.
OAK GROVE SITE IS FAVORED
Special Committee Named to Consider
Building Plans and Report Later
Playground Question Also Turned
Over to Committee for Investigation.
It took the voters of the incorporated
school district less than 30 minutes Tues
day evening to authorize the purchase of
a site for a school house in the Oak Grove
section- and to elect a committee to present
plans for Buch a building. The matter of
securing a plavground was left to the lnves
tication of a" committee which was ap
pointed and which will report at a special
of Hio HiKtrict. This committee
nibbing . . . -
is ulflo directed to make investigations ot
the further needs of the district as regains
school facilities.
Moderator Henry 1). Holton called the
meeting to order in the high school room
nt S o clock p. m., and the warrant was
read by Clerk W. B. Smith. Rev. fc. y. fe.
n momlipr of the tinidenti.il coni'
miltec,' explained briefly the need of addi
tional school acconimouauons ami ren-i ic-ci
to the crowded condition of the Washing
ton street and Canal street schools. With
accommodations already provided for about
40 families in the southern part of the vil
lage and the outlook for extensive develop
ment of the Belmont avenue as well as the
Oak Grove section another year, Mr. Os
good showed the need of immediate atten
tion being given the mutter of increased
school accommodations and said that the
prudential committee with the board of
trade committee, consisting of E. L. Hil
drcth, E. B. Smith and Martin Austin, had
made a careful survey of the southern
part of the town with a view to the loca
tion of a school house there and had taken
options upon five lots lying between More
land avenue and l'arkside avenue. The
property is a short distance south of Clark
avenue, which is the first avenue south of
Oak Grove avenue. He said that the prop
erty measured 284 feet on one side, 'J52 on
the other and that one end was 00 feet
across while the other was Zitz lect. ine
property is sulliciently large to permit the
erection of a schoolhousc and leave room
enough for a play-ground for the pupils
of that section. In closing bis remarks Mr.
Osgood offered the following resolution :
Resolved, that a committee, to be
hereafter elected, are hereby auth
orized and directed to purchase lots
numbered 34, 35, 30, 37 and 38, lying
between Morehind avenue and Parksidc
avenue on Oak Grove extension, at a
price not to exceed $2,300, and procure
a convevance thereof to the incorporat
ed school district No. 2 of Brattlcboro.
And be it further resolved that the
prudential committee of said incor
porated school district be hereby au
thorized and directed to procure a tem
porary loan on the order of said district
to obtain the funds with which to
make the payment of said purchase.
Solon A. Richmond Baid that he pre
sumed the prudential committee had an es
timate ot the cost ot the proposed scnooi
house and if so he would like to know what
the total cost of lot and building would
probably amount to. Judge J. Ij. Martin
of the prudential committee said that the
committee was not in position to make any
estimate of the cost of such a building. He
said if the voters should vote to buy the
land a committee could he chosen to pro
cure plans and submit them at a special
meeting of the district to be held later.
This explanation being satisfactory to Mr.
Richmond, he seconded the motion for the
adoption of Mr. Osgood's resolution and
it was so voted.
E. L. Knowlton moved that the commit
tee called for in the resolution be appointed
and Judge Martin said the statutes make
it obligatory upon the voters of the dis
trict to choose a committee whenever it is
necessary to take title to real estate, ne
moved to amend the motion of Mr. Knowl
ton and leave the appointment to the mod
erator. It was so voted and Moderator
Holton named the prudential committee.
Rev. E. 0. S. Osgood, J. L. Martin and
Dr. A. I. Miller.
Clarke C. Fitts then offered the following
resolution :
Resolved, that E. Q. S. Osgood, J.
L. Martin, A. I. Miller, E. L. Hildreth,
E. B. Smith and Martin Austin be and
are hereby elected a special committee
to make plans for a school house to be
erected on the land provided for in the
preceding resolution, just adopted by
this meeting, and that said committee
present the same to a secial meeting of
the vote of the district at its earliest
convenience.
The resolution prevailed. Judge Martin
moved that articles .'t and 4 ot the war
rant be combined and acted iion jointly.
These article referred to the need of a play
ground and to transact any other busine
proper to lie done, it was so voieu ami
('. I.. Stiiknev offered the following reso
lution :
liesolved, that J. L. Martin, E. Q. S.
Osgood, A. 1. Miller, Martin Austin,
K. II. Smith and K. L. Hildreth be con
stituted and elected a committee to act
on the part of the incorporated school
district No. 2 with a committee to lie
appointed by the boy's club organiza
tion to consider further school accom
modations, the providing of .a proper
gymnasium and of proer playgrounds
for the schools of the district and re
port at a further meeting.
It was so voted. Martin Austin declined
to serve on the committee and r. P. Hop-
kinson nominated S. A. Richmond, who
was elected to the vacancy. The meeting
adjourned at 8.2".
At the close of the meeting several in
tcrested in-rsons remained to examine the
mans made of available locations for play
grounds. The Leahv property, west of
Whetstone brook and north of the iron
bridne at the junction of Elliot. I nion
Williams and Birge streets, vamp in for
much favorable consideration. Then the
Allen property north of the Valley fair
grounds was spoken of and the water-cure
liuuuing on the east side ot rJliot street
was discussed as available for a school
house site and one which would afford con
siderable plavsround accommodations. Op
tions have been secured on the three pieces
of property.

HANSON PUT IT
ONTO J. POULOUS
Threw the Manchester Greek Twice
in Little Over an Hour
Kilonis Failed to
Show Up.
Fritz Hanson, the Swedish welterweight,
at the auditorium Christmas evening sus
tained his claim to the championship in
that class when he took two falls from
James Poulous of Manchester. N. H in
G3 minutes and 10 seconds. The match
was the best in which Hanson has yet ap
peared in this town. The 300 or more
snorts present were largely supponers oi
the Scandinavian lad, although the Greek
had a bunch of local friends who cheered
him whenever it began to look as though
he had something on Hanson. John
Kilonis, who was billed to meet Hanson,
was unable to appear and his trainer,
Poulous, was sent in his place. hether
Kilonis would have eiven loeal snorts more
for their money than they got in the Han-son-l'oulous
match is a matter of doubt.
Poulous became the aggressor with the
call of Referee Brown for the men to get
to work. The Greek had a cat-like
crouching attitude and attempted to get
under Hanson during the first minute of
the match. Suddenly he changed his tac
tics and both men went to the mat with
the Greek trying to secure a half-Nelson.
As surely as the Manchester man got into
position to make it interesting for Hanson
the Swede would worm out ot his grasp.
This was the work of both men for the
first five minutes. Then Hanson tried to
get a toe hold on the Greek and only
supreme efforts upon the part of Poulous
prevented him from succumbing. Abandon
ing these tactics Hanson secured a body
hold after the match had been, in progress
20 minutes and for an instant it looked
like the all-out signal for the Greek. Han
son stood his man on the top of the head
and proceeded to test the Greek's spine by
bending him down upon his head and
shoulders. Again the Manchester man
pulled out of a tight place. Then Poulous
became the aggressor and in warming up to
his work got excited. He drew blood on
Hanson in different places when his finger
nails cut into the Swede's flesh. At one
time Poulous had a lock on Hanson with
the Swede forced backward across the
Greek's leg. In this position he held Han
son and tickled the Swede's ribs but it
was of no avail. This sort of punishment
nettled Hanson and he suddenly wriggled
from the hold of the Greek ana the next
thing had him in the right position to ap
ply a toe hold. Poulous stood the gruelling
for fully a minute but it was agony and
only a man hardened to the game would
have taken the punishment dealt out bv
the Swede. This treatment took consid
erable of the pluck out of Poulous yet he
managed to escape being thrown when
Hanson tried to press him to the mat. Ij
was only a minute later, however, whin
1 1. in'ii got a lie. id scissor and haimncrhn k
hold thut did the trick. The tirt fall came
in 4.i minutes.
The men took a 10-mintite rest and when
they Ktcpisd on the mat for the luiUh of
the bout the Greek had apparently recov
ered bis usual form and was a cat-hke as
ever. For several minutes both men fiddled
for an ojKning and Poulous tried several
tiniin to rush llatuom and pick the Swede
off his feet. Each time he got a hold on
one of Hanson's legs but i'riu wriggled
away. Poulom, came within a hair ot be
ing again thrown by the same ort of a
luxly hold that Hunson used on him when
he stood the Manchester man on his head.
The audience insisted that Poulous make
things faster and in a spurt lasting nearly
five minute the Greek kept ll.inin mov
ing all of the time. Then suddenly goiiu
to the mat, he let Fritz have tilings his
way and it could be plainly seen that the
Swede was bound to end the match within
a few minutes. A hall-Nelson ami crotch
hold by Hanson put Poulous to the mat
and the Swede held his man down long
enough to make sure that there was no
doubt in the matter.
At the close of the match the referee an
nounced that George W. Bailey, Brattle
boro's strong man, who has recently taken
up the wrestling game, would be pleased
to meet Ham-on. Hanson came forward
and asked Bailev on what terms lie wished
to wrestle and ltailey said on the bais of
i.'i per cent of the receipts to the winner
and 25 per tent to the loser, both men to
make a side lt. The same conditions
would prevail as in the former Ibuwon
Bailev match which were that Hanson
should throw Bailey twice in an hour.
Bailey agreed to the conditions. An
nouncement was made that Poulous would
like to meet Hanson again, and Fritz said
he would meet the Manchester man but not
in Brattlcboro as one match wan enough
here between the two men. Fritz won
from Poulous last week in Burlington.
The preliminary between "Kid'' Ijivoie.
an employe of the Fort Hummer Mills, and
Edward Ilolin, an employe of K. Crosby &
company, was an interesting bout which
the audience would have been satisfied to
watch for several minutes longer than it
did. Though I.avoie cot the decision with
only one fall Bolin's admirers were of the
opinion that the decision ought to have
been a draw, the referee announced that
the bout would be for the welterweight
championship of Brattleboro. Lavoie start
ed things by attempting a half-Nelson and
with Ilolin under him tried to get a toe
hold. Ilolin wouldn't stand for such treat
ment and in getting to his feet Lavoic
threw the man cf White Satin Hour fame
nearly over his head and both men landed
off the mat. For 12 minutes neither man
had the best of it but in the 13th minute
Lavoic changed his methods and secured a
body hold. Though Bolin broke it the
Mil secured the same hold aaain and
forced Holin to the mat in the 14th minute
of the bout. In the second period the men
wrestled 25 minutes and it was plain to
sec that neither could get a f ill. The nudi-
encc was getting impatient for the big
bout to begin and the referee called the
match, giving a draw as his decision. This
announcement aroused the friends of Bolin
who insisted that the match ought to go
on. The referee announced that he would
put the men liack on the mat for 15
minutes and if neither secured a full dur
ing the period he would eive the decision
to Lavoie. During the next seven minutes
there was something doing all of the time
and Bolin got a body hold on Lavoic that
looked good for several seconds but the
Kid managed' to escape the fall and at the
end of the 15-minutc period the decision
was given to Lavoie. It is likely that these
two men will turnisii an lnterestinn pre
liminary at one of the big bouts to be held
in Brattleboro during the winter.
i'oulous, Mlonis s substitute, is consid
ered by Hanson to be one of the best men
in the wrestling game at the welterweight.
He comes from Manchester, N. H., where
he has been closely associated with Kilonis
as pupil and trainer. There is but little to
choose between Kilonis and Poulous. Both
are inclined to take the offensive rather
than the defensive at the start of a match.
While Hanson wished to meet Kilonis in
Brattlehoro Christmas evening as he had
promised to do he said after the match
that the audience had certainly got its
money's worth and there ought to be no
kirk to the management over the fact that
Kilonis failed to arrive. Kilonis' tele
graphed Monday that he was sick and
would send Poulous and the management
decided to put on the new man as Hanson
assured those in charge of the match that
Poulous was as good a man as Kilonis.
The officials of the match were William
Brown of Claremont, N. H., referee;
Charles R. Crosby and John J. Clune of
Brattleboro, timers.

THE OLD TROY BUNCH.
Basketball Stars Who Formerly Shone
Here to Play Athletics Tuesday Night
Unquestionably the star attraction of the
local basketball season will lie the appear
ance in Festival hall Tuesday evening of
the Troy team of the New York state
league. All of its members are former
local favorites, and a big delegation of local
fans will no doubt turn .out to welcome
them when they go up againt Manager
Whitney's Athletics. The bunch includes
the famous Wachter brothers, "Ed" and
"lcw", "Chief" Mtiller, "Sox" Davcy and
"Pat" Doyle, with Inglis and Gnimstead as
substitutes. The Troy team at present
stands at the head of the New York State
league which includes Schenectady. Hud

A BIO HOLIDAY RUSH.
Postoffice and Express Co. Employes
Had a Strenuous Time.
The Christmas rush at the local post
otlioe required the services of two extra
carriers, one extra clerk on the mailing
department and two teams with drivers
from Thursday noon to Monday noon and
then it was necessary for a full delivery to
be made Sunday morning. The delivery
on Sunday was the first ever made by the
local carriers and was by order of the postmaster-general.
The carricre were obliged
to work until 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon
to complete their routes and the two ex
tra carriers in command of teams deliv
ered thousands of packages Sunday morn
ing. The first big out-going mail left Brat
tlehoro on the 8.34 train Wednesday of
last week when 27 heavy sacks left the
local office. As many more sacks went out
on the 4.20 train Thursday afternoon and
the incoming train that evening brought
so manv packages that all the postal force
could do for a time was to pile them up
on the floor in the distributing room. It
is only a guess as to the number of
souvenir postal cards mailed out from the
Brattleboro olfice and received through the
office, but if the rest of the population did
as well as one woman pretty close to a
million cards would be the outgoing mail.
