Many questions are being asked concerning the registration of voters at the lirst meeting of the board on Thursday of next week, showing that much interest is manifested. It is believed that Adams county will make a good showing, as she always does. A smoker will be held here next Tuesday evening by the democrats and it is probable that a few other meetings may be held over the county, where instructions are desired. Every effort possible will be made to make the first registration a success in Adams county. You should help in any way you can. President Taft carried Massachusetts, but owing to a misunderstanding and a misplacing of names on the bal lots, the results show Roosevelt and Taft even as to the number of delegates. However, it is conceded that the president has wen and his back ers now say they are but seventy

While working on the city electric system putting on the new cut-outs on the arc lamps, Will parent secured a severe shock which caused him to be thrown several feet. He was working on the lamp at the corner of Third and Jackson stieets and in making one of the connections his hand came in contact with cue of tiie live wires, carrying 2,300 volts. The wire burned through a heaw glove and seared, the flesh badly. Mr. Parent was thrown a distance of perhaps ten feet and in the fall was luckily freed from the wire. The current was shut off directly after the accident, until communication could be established with Mr. Mylott, who was working on the same line in the south end of town. Had Mr. Parent come in contact with either of the other two lines which completes the circuit he would no doubt have been fatally injured.
