YOU

NO doubt have all heard ere this of that fur N niture store "up in tn woods at Hawley- vile" for our goods during the past year have every town and city within a radius ot 100 miles, but have you ever been in to look over our stock? We cordially invite you to do so whether you care to buy not. There is something very fascinating about fine furni- ture and nearly everybody takes pleasure in est designs just as soon as they are out, al though we are "in the woods" we mean to Hawleyville under less expense than any of our competitors in city or country, except it mostly represented by a bereau drawer full ot cuts and photographs. Men have been known to select and engage wife, side- board, a china closet, and even parlor organ the first baby carriage from photographs, and feel perfectly satisfied with the goods when delivered, but this is the exception and not the rule. A photograph gives the form but not the finish. It's an unsatisfactory way ot doing business. man prefers to sit right down by the side of the article he is going to have, examine critically, see ii it is quartered oak or plain, watch it palpitate, and judge tor himself of the tone of the instrument, color of eyes or hair, carving machine, or hand work, teeth ivory or composition, mirrOw French or German, bellows perfect or wheezy, color nat, ural cherry or imitation, voice to command or obey, trimmings plain or plated front sol i'd or veneer, locks non -pickable or worthless No photograph can wildly picture snore or bad breath, sappy worm eaten timber, con- mon VarniSh finish, 8 bad disposition, bank balance, an imperfect mirror, or tendency
 
 graphs. We carry the goods in stock, and we carry fine stock, too, just as fine as though we were in the heart of some great city. Our advantages here are so great that we can handle furniture on smaller commission than the city dealer, and there IS no more con Venient point to get at than Hawleyville; therefor if we exercise good taste and judge ment insOur selections we can sell the goods, the people will find them
 The Consolidated road may make this branch, and Bridgeport flag station, change the name of the old Housatonic to the 'Berk- shire division,' run their trains head first or tail fist. and for the special accommodation or annoyance of Rome, Hong Kong, or Stock holm, jusi as they please we are going to keep right on minding our own business and sell
 ing furniture at Hawleyville, and as long as k. R. tracks diverge in all directions as they do now trains must run so that the people can get there. Nothing will drive us away but the encrOachments of a large town that will in crease our expenses, create an itching to be- come mayor, and other vices, without any cor responding increase in advantages. Then we may be driven to hunt location back in the "tOOt hills" where the lion roareth, and wild beasts wrangle over their prey. Come and see us before we go.

JUSTICE AND TRUTH.

What, then, is the use of history, and what are it's lessons? First, it is a voice forever sounding accross the centuries the laws of right and wrong. Opinions alter, manners, change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity. For every false word or unrighteous deed, for cruelty and op- pression, for lust or vanity, the price has to be paid at last; not always by the chief offenders, but paid by someone. Justice and truth alone endure and live.-[ James Anthony Froude.

THE COWS APPRECIATE THE IsoyAr1oN

Last week J. B. Fairchild of Taunton placed in the watering trough used by his cattle at the barn, heater, which he got from the Vermont Farm Machine Co. It consists of long tube placed in the bottom of the trough, which is heated by a blaze, fed from reservoir of kerosene placed above. Water can be made any temperature desired and MT Fairchild ex- poets good results. If the cows do not give more milk by having their drinking water al a proper temperature, it certain 'ly will more than pay for itself in the saving of chopping out the ice on cold winter days.

THINKS HE WAS DAMAGED.

Carl Leisner has commenced on &C.
ton for damages Observation-Disclosures
man Mcdonald for alleged false i'm
prisonment. This case grows out of
the recent action when Leisner was
arrested, and sentenced to ninety days
imprisonment for an old offense, with
his subsequent release upon habeas
corpus proceedings. He was arrested
Feb. 1st without warrant, as is the
custom with the officers in such cases,
and remained in the lock up for twen-
ty hours, when he was discharged
upon the specific charge upon Whic b
he was arrested. 1t is for this that he
wants $1,000, and for expenses of the
subsequent proceedings $50. w. r.
Geddes is his attorney. Officer Nc
Donald has retained Attorneys Cray
and Benedict. He proposes to take the
bull by the horns, and will undoubtedly
swear out warrant for Leisner's ar
rest next week on the same charge
upon which he was arrested Feb. 1st.
1t seems to be the general opinion
among the attorneys that this would
not be case of man being twice in
jeopardy for the same offense. The
police have no doubt but that they
will be able to secure Leisner's con-
viction. This would knock out the
damage suit, as that suit is based
mainly upon the expectation that the
police will be unable to prove that he
was drunk at the time he was arrest
ed.
Mr.. Geddes states that the police
very frequently lay themselves liable
to prosecution for false Imprisonment
by not having warrants when theyar-
rest persons for misdemeanors.
The police were disposed to let mat
tiers rest as they are until this action
was brought, and were determined to
again give Leisner every chance as
they have in the past, but they are
now determined to act vigorously in
self defense. 1t is likely that Leisner
will take good care hereafter not to
be found breaking the law in any par
ticular. He has been before the court
on number of occasions in the past,
and the court considers that it has
been unusually lenient with him, sew
eral times allowing him to go upon
his promise of good behavior.
Officer Mcdonald is upheld 10y all of
the officials for his part in the case,
and will have loyal support.

tricity.
The basement and first and second
stories will be constructed with the
view Of being occupied and used by q
single firm. The third floor will pro.
badly be divided into two sets of lodge
rooms.
The building will have the largest
frontage Of plate glass Of any in the
city, being in all 100 lineal feet. This
display frontage will run back thirty
feet along Jackson street. The en-.
trance will be twelve feet wide and
will have recess ten feet deep, and
will be in the center of the front. An
outside iron stairway will lead to the
second floor, and open into hall
The sidewalk in front will be partly
of glass tagging, which will assist in
lighting the basement. 1t will be
supported by steel beams and brick
arches.
The interior walls and ceiling
of the first and second stories
will be handsomely decorated.
Counters will extend around the
sides, and around shelving down
the center, which will conceal row
of posts. In all there will be $40 feet OF
counters. Between the center shelly

NEEDS STIRRING UP.

The action of the council Monday
in deciding to stir up the Board of
Health was timely and should be fol-
lowed up. The Board was last sum-
mer strenuous in its demands that an
ordinance should be passed requiring
privies and cesspools to be condemned
wherever sewers and water mains were
laid, and Health Officer Warner pic
tured in strong language the dangers
of the situation, particularly great in
view Of the threatened invasion Of
cholera this spring or summer. The
council readily granted the desired
power to the Board of Health, expect
ing that it would carry out its own
commentators.
If much has been accomplished
toward getting the city into first class
sanitary condition, few people are
aware Of it. AS some of the aide men
stated last night, when the spring
thaw comes it will be found that there
are many disease breeding places in
the city. No steps have been taken
through the courts to enforce the Or
dinance where the notice to carry out
its provisions has been served but not
needed. Indeed, the Board of Health
seems to have limited itself to the
service of notice to comply with the
ordinance upon portion of che prop
erty owners. Whether the notice was
followed out or not seems to have
made no difference.
In few weeks the snow will be
gone and the frost will be out Of the
ground, and things will be in worse
condition than before. 1t is time
that the Board was called upon for a
report, and that steps be taken to car
ry out the provisions of the ordinance
to letter.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DOp

The business men of Saltwater are
raising fund of $4,000 to aid in Sc
curing manufacturing industries for
that city. This reminds US that spring
is at hand and that it is a good time
to do little rustllng for the benefit
Of MankatO This year will probably
witness more building in the city
than any previous year in our history,
and to back up the increase in
retail business which is cOntem-
plated, several more manufactur-
ing industries should be start
ed Those which have begun in
small way with but little outside
assistance, have always proved success
full, and it should be the aim of the
Board of Trade or some other COM
mercial organization to encourage the
starting of such. By watching the
fire record of the country, and timely
correspondence after factories have
been destroyed and the owners are
perhaps anxious to secure better
location in which to start anew, it
may be possible to secure some very
desirable concerns.
The slowest way for the city to grow
will be for the business interests to
make no efforts whatever to secure
new industries. 1t would be best to
postpone the effort to secure big fac
tory, like beet sugar factory, which
requires big capital and runs but
small portion of the year, and attempt
to secure small industries. like
paper mill, wood working factories,
furniture factory, boot and shoe fac
tory, and such as can find ready
market for their product in this vicin-
ity and to the west.
1t is time to be awake to our Oppor-
tunities and needs, and not allow
other cities of the state to secure the
advantage by being more on the alert,

hrs. GLEASON BADLY INJURED.

Her many friends will be panied to
hear that Mrs. S. W. Gleason suffered
a severe injury Friday afternoon,
by falling upon the ground in her
yard. She started to go out to the
well at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon,
and for the first time during the win
ter neglected to put on Cvershoes OF
rubbers. She slipped on the icy coat
ing and fell on her side, breaking her
hip. She was alone at the time, but
her screams attracted the attention
of Miss Hannah Pierson and of gen.
tleman who was passing by. While
the former carried the helpless lady
into the kitchen, the gentleman not
itied some Of the neighbOrs, summon
ed DR.. Warner, and intercepted Mr..
Gleason as he was going to the depot
to start out on one of his trips.
Dr. Warner, assisted by DR.. Har-
rington, set the fractured bone, which
was ascertained to be the femur bone,
and broken near the socket. The in
jury is almost exactly similar to the
one suffered by Harry Walraven two
or three years ago, when he was
thrown from his carriage. The same
fracture bed used in Mr.. Walrayen's
case is being used in this.
Mrs. Gleason is doing fully as well
as could be expected under the Cir
cumstances. The injury is very
dangerous one, but the fact that she
has been enjoying excellent health in
spires her friends to believe that she
will fully recover, although the mend
ing process will be rather long one.
She has the best of care and attention.

REMEMBER THIS.

The mayor aud council this spring
will be elected for two years. During
their term of office there will fall due
SSI 900 of railroad bonds bearing seven
per cent. interest. A portion of these
bonds should be paid and the balance
refunded at five per cent. interest. In
order to float these bonds at five per
cent. personal work must be done in
the eastern markets by men who are
known and who have influence and
credit in financial circles. The re-
funding of these bonds will be the
most important thing that will come
up during the next two years, and In
selecting a candidate for mayor this
should be borne in mind. Either Of
the gentlemen most prominently
spoken of, Mayor Willard or L. ID.
Hubbard, would have that influence
which will be so necessary in securing
the best interests of the taxpayers.
