ALTAMONT VISITED BY 

T. R. AND PARTY
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who is touring this part of the state this weekend on his special train over the D. and H. railroad in the interest of the Republican national and state tickets and his own candidacy for Governor, stopped at Altamont Thursday morning and spoke for a quarter hour, to a good sized crowd, from the rear platform of his car. 

The train arrived a trifle ahead of its schedule just as folks began to gather and the school children with flags arrived. The company was all attention and seemed to not only enjoy the novelty of the occasion but to give Colonel Roosevelt their serious attention, as he presented some of the issues of the present campaign.
He spoke along the same lines as he did at the two great rallies of the night before at Schenectady and Albany where the auditoriums were not large enough to accommodate the crowds who sought admissions. 

After his short address he held an informal reception and shook hands with many while waiting for his train to get orders to proceed. He also spoke at Delanson and then at Cobleskill where he left the train to address a meeting of 800 or more in the opera house. Oneonta was his next objective and from there he went to Port Jervis and Middletown. 

Today Colonel Roosevelt will swing across to the Hudson and be in Troy this evening. A great demonstration—at Grand Central Station, New York City—will take place when he arrives there Saturday evening. 

The enthusiastic greetings Colonel Roosevelt received in the Capital district, without doubt, forecast a big vote for the Republican ticket, and his friends say that it means victory for the Colonel on November 4th. 

DELMAR 

Frank McNess was killed instantly at his work in the railroad yards at Feura Bush. Coroner Tompkins of Berne and Dr. O. A. Brenstuhl of Albany were called immediately. The autopsy was performed at the undertaking rooms of Peter Applebee, and the body was sent from there to Brooklyn where burial took place. 

BERNE 

Fred Behentdt of South Berne had the misfortune, while sawing wood with a buzz saw on Monday, to get his right hand in the saw, tearing the index and middle fingers well into the joint so they hung only by shreds. He was taken to the office of Dr. W. E. Deitz where Miss Kathryn administered the anesthetic and the Dr. removed the fingers at the joint, taking several stitches. Prospects are that he will recover, only he will have the loss of two fingers. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

— Members of St. John’s Lutheran Bible school and their families are invited to attend a supper in the dining room of the church on Oct. 30th at 6 o’clock. An entertainment consisting of contests, stunts, etc., appropriate to Hallowe’en, is being planned. Many will attend attired in Hallowe’en costumes, which will add to the enjoyment of the evening. 

— Charles Seabury, son of Mr. and Mrs. Judd Seabury of Altamont, is one of the youngest and most efficient of Uncle Sam’s navy radio operators. His picture appeared in the Sunday News (New York) and on the pictorial page of the Albany Evening News last night, his being brought in to prominence by the fact that he was one of the first in the United States to pick up the ZR-3 during its flight across the Atlantic. Charles has been stationed at Lakehurst, N. J. He is now enjoying a furlough from his duties, having arrived at his home here this morning.
