Doings Of = Day In the Valley Below
This City.
NAUGATUCK, Aug 20.-Tne members
of Isbell post, Ct. A. R., with a drum
corps and number of friends are antici-
pating much pleasure from their trip to
Washington, d. c., next month. The
price of round trip ticket being less
than nine dollars, puts it within the
means of many to visit this paradise of
the union, to say nothing of the veterans
parade and notables to be seen in the
same. 1t should be very enjoyable
trip and one that will always be remem-
| bered. We are informed that thus far
about 1926 has been raised toward pay
ing the expense of drum corps to accom-
pany IsbeH and two out of town posts,
about $125 of same being raised out of
| town. The cost will probably exceed
$3.50.
The Kings Daughters are quietly do
ing a vast amount of work in a charit-
able way, which they need funds to
carry on, the treasury being empty.
Contributions can be seut to Miss Lizzie
Morse, Mrs L. S. Moulthrop, or left for
them at Lewis & Parker's.
Two tickets were put in the field yes
terday and peddled as the Pigott and
Wood tickets, the former headed by
DIR Franklin B. futile, the latter by
Samuel N. Andrew. There was not
much excitement through the day, but it
was somewhat lively in the evening.

CAMP WHITE, NIANTIc,
Aug 90, 1899.
Everything is hurry and hustle here
this morning, preparing to be off for
home. The week has been a glorious
one, both as to work and weather. The
men are tired and sun-browned and are
well pleased that the weeks work is at
an end. Before this reaches the readers
of the DEMOCRAT Camp White will be
almost entirely deserted. Yesterday, as
on former years, was the big
day of the week. 1t is esti-
mated that there were 10000 people on
the grounds. Governor Buckley and staff,
General Haven, Colonel Doherty and
many others were present yesterday
afternoon to see the DEMOCRAT carrier
pigeons make the start. The Governor
and General Haven sent messages to the

GOVERNOR BULKLEY.
William Dudley, private in Com
pany 1, Fourth regiment, is suffering
with broken collar bone. He engaged
in a rough and tumble contest with a
few of the members of his company
with the result that he was thrown to
the ground with sufficient force to
break his collar bone,
Colonel Tyler's tent was entered by
unknown parties and $40 stolen. Three
hundred cigars were stolen at the same
time from Lieutenant Norton's tent of
the same regiment. Hangers-on are
supposed to be the guilty parties.
One of the prettiest exhibitions of
athletic attainment during the afternoon
was given by Private James Magner of
Company G, Second regiment. Magner
is siX-footer and man of magnificent
proportions. He is evidently a skillful
athlete. His method of throwing the
hammer showed what science, backed
by muscle can do. His method was pecu-
liar to himself. In throwing the ham,
mer the thrower stands within a circle
seven feet in diameter. If he steps out
of the circle before the hammer touches
the ground, it is no throw. Magner
stood at the opposite side of the circle
from which he intended to throw the
hammer, and with his back in that di-
rection. After whirling the hammer
over his head in the usual manner few
times, he took a perfect waltz step back
wards, made complete turn, and land
ed with his heels against the other side
of the circuit and then the solid iron
shot onIthe end of the four foot handle
shot into the air over his left shoulder.
When Magner made the throw an even
100 feet there was great applause

May Lose the Electoral Vote.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 2O.-Gover-
nor Brown has ordered the legislature
to assemble next Thursday. It appears
that most of the Important bills passed
during its ten months session were not
given a constitutional vote. This is true
of the election bill which was vetoed.
Unless a new bill is passed, Kentucky
will lose her electoral vote in the COM
ing national election.

KELLY ON
CHEWING GUM

Chewing Gum appears to be getting
into court unduly. There does not ap-
pear to be anything especial about chew
ing gum TO take it into the civil courts,
although it is readily admitted that it fills
a very prominent place in the Court of
Cupid; but it struck the civil court in
Reading, Penn, in q rather uncivil man
ner one day last month. Mrs Harmon
Brumbach, a milk woman, had Mrs Mary
Resi- arrested for using outrageous and
insulting language. Mrs Resh attempted
to justify herself by saying that she
had found chewing gum in the milk she
had purchased. Mrs Brumbach said she
had no teeth to chew gum with, being in
the uncertain stage between the extrac-
ton of all her molars, bicuspids, etc, and
a new set of store teeth. Ignoring the
fact, that having no teeth she could only
gum, the alderman, who had the matter
under consideration, settled the contro
gum in her milk by filming her CT cents
for wo osths-sort of bi-cuspid, or cur
sorry remarks-which she had used in ex-
pressing her opinions on the chewing
gum.
Why is it that KELLY'S CHEWING
GUM has fresher flavor than what we
buy in other places? Because he is
wholesaler and receives gum fresh every
week.
