". c. '. q. MEETING.
At Pine Grove, Aug. 25th.


 The W. O. T. U. of Connecticut, had charge of the day at Pine Grove camp ground last Friday, Mrs 0. B. Forbes presiding. Presiding Elder Travis gave a neat address of welcome after whirh Prof. F. c. Croy, of Spring field. Mass, spoke very lengthily and ranblingly on Christianity and the Licensed Saloon Incompatible" Mrs J. K Barney, of Rhode Island then gave brilliant Bible exposition, mainly on the word "Watch."
 In the afternoon Mrs Barney again spoke. her subject being "Clean Hands, !" and for over one hour she captured and profited the people. The Secretary of the Ltchfied County w. c. T. U. then made short address showing what a prominent part citizens of Litchfeld county had taken iii moral reforms, nota- bly the Beecher family. Mrs Forbes then very interestingly narrated tho means employed in securing the pass ing of the Hygiene bill through the last legislature. A children's meeting was then conducted by Mrs c H Fitzgerald, who proved herself the right person in the right place.
 In the evening Mrs Fitzgerald, Prof. Croy and others made short addresses. The attendance throughout the day was very small and the lack of interest very marked. The program was an excellent one and deserved far better reception. Of course the Woman's Suffrage ques' tion was quite prominent, that being one of the blanks of the W. 0. T. U.

ALARM OFFIRE.

About 1.30 Wednesday morning the village was awakened and startled by the ringing of the Methodist church bell and cries of fire. People turned out quickly and rushed to the corner of Main and Railroad streets where the flames seemed to be coming from. They arrived in time to see some railroad men extinguishing burning barrel of shaw ings which had been placed in the mid dle of the street between Cummings block and Fuller & Peet's store. The railroaders were a night crew lying on 8 F., R. < N. E. siding and hearing the first alarm were the first on the scene with pails of water. Will Camp, who heard the alarm, enquired of feeting unknown "where the fire was' and re- ceived the reply: "Strong's shop" MT Camp immediately hastened to the church and rang the bell.
 Whether robbery or joke was the object of the firers no one could tell at tHe liLno, DuI lnIcT lu bhc uoruiuB it WAS discovered that bungling attempt had been made to enter ParsoH's store through rear window. We are of the opinion that it Is the work of some local dime novel talent and that the boys be- ing unsuccessful ill their attempt at burglary, fired the shavings as a means of mischief. There is a spirit of ten cent deviltry running through a num- Der of boys in town, that if they are not careful, will secure them lodgings with Jailor Sedgwick.
 If MT Camp could identify his iu- formant we think at least one of the parties would be known.

 In the afternoon the Rev s. P. Cad man, of Yonkers, N. Y. preached from Habakkuk III, 2: 70 Lord, revive thy work" The two sermons were two of the most brilliant ever heard on the ground. The storm prevented people from outside the camp ground from at tending the meetings, but the taberna- cle was we'll filled by the eottagers.
 In the evening the Rev I T. Stafford, of Lenox, Mass, preached an excellent sermon, but we are unable to quote his text.

True as Preaching.

The financial stringency is an establish ed fact beyond question, and almost every business man knows it. Trade of all kinds is suffering from paralysis and collections are slow. The printer man feels it as much as anybody, as he is the last person ever thought to need money anyway. If all persons who can would pay their little bills the existing evils would be greatly lessened. Money laid away in stocking does no one any good, while money in circulation helps everyone who does business. Exchange.

occurred at the home of Mrs. Andrew
Hanna, Sunday afternoon, at O'Clock.
Rev. Mr.. Bergstrom, of the Baptist
church, Officiated, and owing to the in

brief but none the less impressive.
Despite the down-pouring ram, a
large number of friends of the deceased
turned out to do honor to his me mory
The city council, board of public
works and police attended in body,
and followed the good old man to his
final resting place in Glenwood GEM
etery.
The Masonic fraternity, of which
Uncle George was an honored member,
took charge of the funeral, and laid
his remains tenderly away
Gone to his home for eternal rest,
lost in body to family and friends, his
memory will live in the hearts of all
who knew him, and his spotless life
Will stand as PERCEPTION others less
courageous to follow.

A Successful Paper.

In the face of hard times and bust
ness discouragements it is inspiriting
to see at least one paper pushing
ahead as though prosperity were gen.
eral. The Northeastern AQricutuiSt,
of Minneapolis, announces that it will
be published twice month hereafter
instead of once month. The Agri-
culturist never was calamity bowler,
and we are glad to note it's evident
success and prosperity.
The Northwestern Agriculto7ia has
for years stood at the head of the
monthly farm papers OF thecountry,
and it's friends will be pleasedto know
that now it is'to be published twice
month. The Agricult,n'ist is printed
on an extra and expensive quality OF
paper, with the finest class OF press
work. 1t has consisted heretofore OF
twenty-four pages per month; it will
consist hereafter of from thirty-tWo
to forty pages a month, T. e., from six
teen tostwenty pages twice month.
Yet the subscription price will remain
only fifty.cents year. We offer the
Northeastern Agricolturist and WEEKLY
FREE PRESS for year for $l.l5. The
Agricatlturist is in hearty sympathy
with all the needs Of the farmers. 1t
is free from partisan politics, howev-
er, and does not depict the northwest
ern farmers as paupers; it believes
that farmers can make farming pay
by farming intelligently and adopting
progressive ideas. The paper is chuck
full of the most practical suggestions
by the most practical and successful
farm writer's. For sample copies send
direct to the Agriculturist Co, Mime

lamps.

nANkATO BOY GONE WRONG.

Saturday evening'S Minnaa polls
Journal says that Alvin B. Margraff,
salesman for B. Eisele, cigarmaker, at
G29 Washington avenue N, was
arrested that morning on charge of
ENLIGHTENMENT, by Detectives Rankin
son and Stevlo. Margraff has been
in the position for about two years
and his alleged shortage Of $500 is said
to extend over that time. His method
in getting the money as stated by a
member of the firm has been to sell
goods to small retail dealers, and
pocket the cash, charging the goods to
well known firms who had running
accounts with Eisele. About week
ago it began to be suspected that be
was turning large sums of money to
his own nse and he was watched dur
ing his daily round up of customers.
Tab was kept on him and it is stated
that he was found to be disL osing of
goods, for which the only return he
hduC was w Cuol &c UuOlu w ohS 1S
counts of other dealers. In the case
of one of the latter receipted bill
was found, which made strong case
against the young man. Margraff is
"a years old, unmarried and lives at
1902 Fourth avenue S.
1t is believed that this is young
man who several years ago was type
setter in the employ of the FREE
PRESS. He went from here to Mil
neapolis and secured a position in
cigar and confectionery store, and
good reports were heard of him from
time to time. He was always appar-
antly an upright young man, and if it
is the same person referred to III the
dispa tch it will be great surprise to
his friends in this city

County Attorney Benedict has a
right to be proud of this weeks work.
Yesterday an unprecedented thing
happened, three different juries con-
victing the three prisoners whom
they were trying. The three verdicts
were received and entered on the
records during the day.
Mr.. Benedict has secured a convic-
tion in all of the cases which he has
tried, and two other prisoners have
pleaded guilty. There are now four
prisoners awaiting sentence. The in
terests of the county were placed In
good hands when the voters Of the
county chose Mr. Benedict as county
attorney. The weeks work has
taught a lesson to the evil inclined,
and has shown the evil doors that JUS
tice is not laggard in this county.
Mr.. Benedict's success is largely due
to the fact that he has
been careful not to enter upon cases
where there. was insufficient evidence.
He has arrdyed facts which have con-
WINGED impartial jurors that he was
on the right side of the case, although
the prisoners were defended by some
of the brightest young attorneys in
the county. Public sentiment upholds
the verdicts of the juries in the
different criminal cases, and the law
abiding portion of the community
feels safer today for the fact that the
strong arm of justice has been
reached out fearlessly and brought to
heir punishment those who have had
no respect for the laws of the land.
