Tho usual repairs of bridges have been made. They are all In good repair, but some will need to be re- planked and painted during the year. Owing to tho extensive repairs made on tho town house the accounts for the building show a deflcloncy for the year. The selectmen leased the post office for a term of five years at an Increased rental of $225 per year, and In order to get tho increase It was necessary to make re pairs and alterations In the quarters for the office. Taxes for 1906 have been collect ed within about $800 of the full amount, part of which can be collected. The fin ances of the town are In good condition. The grand list Is $51,344.44. The select men recommend that a tax of 40 cents on a dollar of the grand list be raised. The school directors recommend a tax of 50 cents on a dollar of the grand list of the town school district. The selectmen make the following estimate for the coming year: Expenses.

L. Stock well, overseer of the poor, makes his ninth annual report In that capacity. The expenses at the farm have been less than usual, but owing to the spread of contagious diseases and other causes the cost for those needing tem porary help has been about the same as In the past few years. The faithful work Cents on Dollar of the Grand List of Whooping Cough Reported of Mr. and Mrs. Hescock. who are com pleting their third year at the farm, Is commended, nnd friends are thanked for their generous remembrance at Chrlstmns time and for musicals. Dr. Henry Tucker, health officer, re iwrts tho most extensive epidemic of whooptng cough during the past year that has ever been known In town. The first case was reported March 30, tho second In July, nnd up to October 1, 10 cases had been reported. In Octobei there were five, November 39, December 71, January fa. mnkliig a total of 176 up to February 1. There Is reason to believe, that the cases were not nil reported. Dr. Tucker believes tho failure of the quar antine to check the spread of the dis ease Is due to the failure of families to recognize the maludy until theie has been opportunity to infect everyone that the child wltli whooping rough comes in con tact with. Many of tho cases reported have been coughing two, three or four week. Another reason Is the survival of the unfortunate idea that whooping cough Is something that every child must have and that they may as well have It and get over It. Ho thinks some system of school Inspection will have to be es tablished before we me able to control whooping rough and measles There have been comparatively few other contagious diseases and a material gain has lieon made In sanitary con ditions, but much remains to be done before Brattleboni will be what It should be in its sanitation. He repeats his re marks about the unsunltnry conditions of the town building and says the school buildings outside of district No. 2 have nothing of modern sanitation. The com pletion of a .sewerage system which will relieve Whetstone brook Is urged. lie says that every dollar expended for the purpose of a complete sewerage system, In connection with an ample and thor oughly distributed water supply, will be returned two fold In Increased prosperity and health. Luther M. Keneston, superintendent of schools In the town district, reports that whooping-cough and chicken-pox have had their Influence upon the attendance, but no schools have been broken up. The schools In Centrevllle and West Brnt tleboro have made marked progress, doubtless due In considerable part to n growing spirit of study and research among the adult population, and the teachers and young people when out of school. The success of young men as teachers In some of the schools tho past two years has Justified the experiment. Truancy has been locally epidemic in three schools. In others wholly unknown. In nearly nil cases the trouble seems to be with the parents. The directors of the town schools I,. M. Keneston, G. B. Hunter and D. T. Perry make an Interesting report. Eleven legal schools have been maintained be sides two terms In No. 15. They ask consideration of the plan for a school house in the vicinity of the brick yard to accommodate children In the " lower grades. The report says: "The new law setting apart $20,000 for rebates to be paid to towns that pay for transporta tion of pupils, and tho law providing for rennte lor tuitions paid for higher edu cation, bases the condition of such re bates on a 50 per cent, school tax. We have never availed ourselves of the re bate for tuition paid, but now that two rebates are offered us, and our trans portation expense Is n ery large Item, It seems wise to us to place ourselves In a position to reap the benefit of these laws. We therefore recommend a DO per cent, tax." The expenditures of the free llbrarv for the year amounted to $238S.3. The li brary had Feb. 1 a balance on hand, town fund, of $1222.30 and Grout legacy $151.71. The library now contains 17,122 volumes, a gain of S02 the past year. When the old library wns transferred to the town It contained 2700 volumes. The library Is sued 31,143 books during the year, di vided as follows: Fiction 22,127; general works 2777, biography 929, philosophy 234, religion 230, sociology 590, philology 15, natural science 505, useful arts 263, liter ature 1129, history, travels, etc., 1943. The trustees whose terms expire this year aro C. A. Miles, E. II. Crane, F. J. Car mody. P. S. Eames, road commissioner, says he has continued tho use of gravel, hav ing used 1S39 loads this year. This Is not as much as he used last year, but he has expended more for underground drain age, having used 1126 Teet of tile. Several bad places have been fixed by putting In Telford foundation, and the commissioner recommends that several other places bo fixed In the same way. Mr. Eames says more work should be put In on our main thoroughfares, and he therefore recom mends that the town Improve the oppor tunity to secure the state aid by raising more money. New concrete -walks havo been laid In Centrevllle, and the follow ing streets: South Main, Canal. Brook, Elliot and Green. Portions of the walks have been recovered on the following streets: Oak, High, Elliot, Organ nnd the common, Advertised Letters. Men H. E. Darling, Richard French, G, E. Hardy, O. M. Lowe, J, L.

A Rough House Game, Dut the Visitors Were Never Within Striking Distance Honors With Bothwell. Springfield, with aspirations for stuto championship honors, tackled the Athle tics on the home floor Wednesday evening with a team which Included Lew nnd Walker of I,owcll and Ellis and Church of St. Johnsbury. The contest was tho roughest of the season, but tho crowd enjoyed the scrlmmngcs nnd went awny elated over the final Bcoro of 38 to 23 In favor of the home team. Tho Athletics started with a rush nnd rolled up n dozen points before Springfield could find tho basket. Tho score of the first period was 17 to 6, of the second 23 to 12. Bothwell uotked like a Trojan, wns In the thickest of the- fray, and turned out 20 points for the tally sheet. Riley stuck to "Buckey Irf-w" like n plaster nnd the colored "geman" only found one basket, nnd that on n long shot. Dnvey and Church had lively tilts most of the way, Church's woik wns rather nasty and he was re warded with hisses Instead of plaudits. Walker, Dnvey nnd Bothwell mnde long spectacular shots.

Man ager Riley has put In n lot of time and woik In trying to give Brattlelwro good basket ball tills season, but as. he Is soon to take another business position he will be unable to devote attention to tho sport. Tho transfer of the manage ment will not make any difference In the team this season ns the games have been mostly arranged. The transfer means merely that the detnll of running the team and gnmes will be attended to by Stafford. If he proves ns good a man oger as he has player basketball will not be a dead Issue in Brattleboro for a long time. Manager Riley has done enough to promote baRkct ball and to give the lovers of the game the real article this season to deserve n vote of thanks. His efforts have been deserving of n much greater support from the public than he tins received. Davey Is away on a trip of three days with the Turners Falls team. Turners Fulls played Newport last night, tonight will try conclusions with St. Johnsbury. and tomorrow night will be In Keene. The Athletics will go to Springfield Tuesday night for the fourth game against tho Springfield team this season. The Athletics won the first game here 60 to, If and lost tho second In Springfield 31 -to 20. Springfield will try to even up the score. The Athletics will play n return game with the Washington Guatds team In Fltchburg, Mass.. Saturday evening, March 2. Although the Athletics had no difficulty In winning the game here, they will bo up against a different proposition on the Washington Guards' home floor. Tho Bristol, Conn., team Is out with a "deft" for a series of games with any team for the Now England champion ship. Dora n and Harding, two of the regular men. failed to show up Satur day night, but despite their absence Bristol won fiom the St. Peter's five of New York city 22 to 13. The fourth game In the state champion ship series with Company 1) of St. Johns bury will be puyed In St. Jolmsuury March 5. It was scheduled for last week Friday, but the St. Johnsbury manager backed out nnd postponed the game at tho last minute. It is supposed that he was unable to get the players lie wanted to do n good Job on the Athletics. Turners Falls Athletics continued their winning strenk at Turners Falls Satur day night. 36 to 20, In n fast game against the AU-Amerlcnns of Troy. Davey and I,ong of the Brattleboro Athletics played with the All-Americans. Davey threw five baskets and his work was compli mented ns the best of any of the visit ing players. A. R. Heath has resigned the manage ment of Company D team of St. Johns bury nnd Lieut. Carr has been chosen his successor for the remainder of the season. The St. Johnsbury Republican of this week says: "Company D for the rest of the year will have a team with all -its players here In town. The man ager has hired the famous "Buckey" Irf'W and Church of the Lowell team for the rest of tho season. Tho team will be composed of Lew, Church. Beck, Ellis Kenrns and Carr, a pretty fast bunch." The White River Junction Landmark takes the result of the game nt that place Feb. 14 good naturedly. It says: "The Athletics proved themselves worthy foes and skilled antagonists, defeating our boys by n score of 70 to 36. But when wo consider their professional standing we must confess to a degree of amaze ment that they 'allowed' our boys to score at all. the only explanation being, possibly, that they couldn't help It, which we necept as genuine, and shall regard as a compliment. Come again some time, and If we can't 'do you up' we shall not get mad about It." The Dartmouth basket ball team has won nine games this season without sustaining n defeat and has scored 412 points to 97 for Its opponents. Dart mouth without question has a quintet fully ns strong ns last year, when the boys from Hnnover held the Intercol legiate championship. The captain, Greb ensteln. who sometimes plays with Com pany D of St, Johnsbury undor nn as sumed name. Is ranked ns the fastest for ward among the, amateur basket ball players of the East. Lang, another player, wns a tower of strength In Dart mouth football eleven last fall. Lane, Brady nnd Schlldmlller complete the regular line-up. The Springfield Repub lican, In reviewing the team's work, says of the former Brattleboro boy: "This Is the first year that Schlldmlller, the for mer Cornell stnr, has been seen on the floor. Schlldmlller made his nnmo ns an athlete In playing end on the Cornell football team two years ago, nnd while he had played some basket ball at Cor nell It wns not thought that he would develop into the strong guard that he wns. In every game this year, Schlld mlller has been In the thick of tho fray, guarding his man closely, yet often stenllng away from him and running up the floor to score field baskets. He has been opposed to some of tho best play ers who have been Been on the floor this season, but today his record shows that ho has thrown ns many baskets as his opponents. Truly a good record for a guard. Schlldmlller Is hard as nails and ho has two more years In which to add to his glory." Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Tho rally for boys Sunday afternoon nt 4 o'clock was well attended and full of interest. Rev. A. II. Webb, pastor of tho Methodist church, gave a talk on making the most of opportunities In everyday life. He told many stories of timely acts and gave a practical turn to tho illustrations by producing a piece, of ropo and showing how It was spliced in nn emergency, The boys crowded nround him whllo ho tied nil manner of sailors' knots nnd gave them some practical In formation as well ns a wholesome lesson In everyday religion. The Y. M, c A orchestra played several pleasing select tlons. THREE ACCIDENTS TO TRAINMEN. None of Them Serious, Out Conductor William Anderson Narrowly Escaped Being Killed, The Central Vermont railroad had the proverbial succession of three accidents Tuesday. Conductor William Anderson of tho West River mixed trnln and George Deyo, brakemnn on n local freight, woro taken to tho Memorial hospital, but are not in a .hingotous condition, nnd Train Inspector Finch of Bellows Falls, tho other victim, was nble to continue his work. The accident to Mr Finch was the first In the series. Ho wns standing on a sid ing waiting for a freight to pass nnd did not notice that the train was backing Into the siding instend of going nlong the main line. The rear ear struck him nnd threw him ofT the track but fortu nately was not going fast enough to do more than bruise him. After a little rest he wns able to continue his work. The accident to Conductor Anderson was one of tho narrowest escapes from a fatality that has ever been seen at the station. He Jumped off the engine on Its arrival In the nfternoan, slipped on the Ice and fell bnckwnrd beside the rails. Some part of the engine struck the back of his bend nnd threw him pattly aside so that ho dtnpped beside the rail and the trnln passed over him. It the nccl dent had happened a few days ago when the snow wns deeper along the track there would not have been room for him and lie would have been torn to pieces. After the train had passed he wns taken Into the baggage loom and the nmbulance summoned. Ho was carried to the Mem orial lOsfilinl where It wos found that he had a bail wound on tho back of his bond, but would recover fully from It In a short time. His condition continued favornblo throughout the next day. George Deyo, at Millers Fulls late In tho nftemoon, fell from the top of a freight ear and was badly bruised. The top of the ear was coated with lee and nnothcr brakeman had fallen from It earlier In the day. lcyo was brought to Brattleboro In the evening nnd taken to the Memorial hospital where he was resting comfortably the next day. GOOD ROADS. Attention Is called to No. Ill of the Acts of 1906, which provides that If the towns of the stnte vote to raise money In excess of the amount required by law, to bo ex pended In Improving their highways under the rules and regulations governing the expenditures of the state highway tax, the state hlghwnv commissioner Is di rected to apportion to such towns an equal nmount from the stnte treasury, tioc to be less than $100. nor more than $300, to nny one town. We urge every town In Windham coun ty to tnko advantnge of this opportunity to draw from $100 to $300 from the state trensurv for the permanent Improvement of Its hlghwnys.

There are certain times each year, however, when we can better afford to sell shoes even at a money loss on each pair than to keep them in stock. The month of February is one of these times it is more than that, it is the month of all when we can best afford to sell shoes at a sacrifice, when we can least afford to keep last season's shoes in the expectation of selling them next season. For this reason, and because experience of many years' duration has taught us that it does not pay to carry stock over from one season to another, we choose February, a between-season month, in which to dispose of odds and ends. Odds and Ends sounds as though what we offer is undesirable goods, shopworn, imperfect or out of style, doesn't it? This is not the case. We use the expression Odds and Ends to signify the shoes that are left at the end of each season, in every way as good as they were when we first bought them. We have to buy a great many pairs of shoes that we do not need in order to have the right style and size on hand to suit every customer. We cannot tell when we buy just what customers will come to us or just what they will want. These that are left are going this month at all kinds of low prices. Come in and let us show you.

A Reply to Articles on Sanitation by Drs. Tucker and Miller. At the social meeting of "Local Brattle boro," s. P A., held at the public reading rooms, corner Canal and South Main streets, Tuesday evening. Jan. 29, the articles on "Sanltntlon" by Drs. Tucker and Miller were read, listened to with deep interest, and discussed. The following points were well brought out: 1. We heartily endorse tho whole of both articles, and especially do we endorse condemnation of the use of Whetstono uiuutt as n sewer. 2. We agree with the doctors that all the different forms of sanitation they haye so nbly advocated, are prime neces sities to the health of the citizens of Brattleboro. And we -go further We believe that not only should our school children bo pro ected by elllclent sanitation and medical i Inspection, but that the womanhood of' Brattleboro. futnro ,nnii,. . better protected. ""UUM And now to be more explicit We be lieve that shops, stores, and nil places where the working class nre obliged to spend such a large per cent, of their time especially such places where women aro empoyod. should be equipped with all sanitary conveniences known to science And the tenements where these future mothers must spend the rest of heir time, (unless they go to some of the churches or the Auditorium, or othe?

God speed the day when all workers unitedly demand it. ur Miller hinted that the mad struggle for the almighty dollar, the insane ..ira petltlve war for profits, by exploitation of tlie workers, was responsible for the un sanitary conditions here nnd elsew -e nnd he Is right.
