BRIDGEPORT.
DON'T WORRY.

Worry kills more than work. A pound of sorrow never paid an ounce of debt. Great rents are prolific sources of worry and distress. Rent, like interest, works nights and Sundays. Don't pay rent. Begin to own home. Make in- vestments in that kind of real property that gives to the investor the greatest comfort. This can be done by regular monthly payments, instead of rent, on a new house, complete with modern i'm provements, that you can occupy at once. What is pile of rent receipts worth? Two cents per pound? They show that money and you have parted company never to meet again. A monthly payment receipt has value. It applies to the purchase of the home you live in, rent free. To whom do the i'm provements and increase in value of the place belong after you have taken the first step in the direction of home of your own? Does this inspire you with ambition to better your condition? How does your credit stand after becoming a property holder as compared with a rent payer? There is an excellent way and means by which you can enter upon greater prosperity; and what blessing it is that this way is open to persons of moderate means. These remarks fell
 
 architect and builder of Bridgeport, Conn. In them there is more truth than poetry. He stands ready, with abundant means, knowledge and ex- perienee, to help those disposed to help themselves. By cooperation with him the yoke is easy and burden light.

THE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

There seems to have been great deal said in connection with this cele bl alton, about the use of the Academy building and even the grounds, having been Ie- fused for that purpose by the board of trustees having the Academy property in charge. It is for the purpose of cor recting some false .rnmors which are afoat, that the liter wishes to place the matter in it's true light. As far as the Academy grounds are concerned, the trustees have never been asked for the use of them and consequently cannot have refused, neither have they thought of refusing should they have been asked. The trustees were asked if they had any objection to having the seats and desks taken up and allowing the main school room to be "sed for public dining room on that occasion and they though it not advisable. The use of it has never been solicited for the purpose of simply dining the Governor and other invited guests.-[D. G. Beers, secretary of board of trustees.

company and probably resume opera

stock, there are 100000 shares issued,
and on 250,000 of these the assessment
was paid, but the holders of the re-

The sale took place yesterday after

of the company is in the Tintic district

there are now several ore bodies in

work will be resumed some time not

Prices of Live Stock Being Held
Down BY MonopoIists.


B. T. Saunders, of the firm of Saun-
ders & Tisdale, the heaviest dealers in
live stock in the territory, returned
yesterday morning from his visit to the
middle west, where he has been on
special business in connection with the
cattle and sheep industries. On ac-
count of the operations of the trust of
packers, which controls the entire live
stock market, being fully as strong as
any of the other great combines of the
country, the prices of all classes of
live stock are going down, said the
gentleman yesterday, and there are no
hopes of an advance until the range
cattle are nearly, if not quite all, mar
keled and the corn-fed stock begin to
enter the lists. Then there may be
some changes for the better and west
ern cattle and sheep may be marketed
with some margins. Through their
fears that there will be an advance,
the members of the packers trust are
now making purchases of considerable
magnitude, but always at Scandalous
prices, and the cattle and sheep are
slaughtered, when in good condition,
and the carcasses placed in the refrig
orators awaiting the turning of the
market 1t is then the man
ipulators intend to get in their
deadly work and. if possible, create a
panic in prices, in order that they may
again make purchases at low rates.
With the movement Of corn-fed stock
will without doubt come a change for
the better in quotations, but the stabil-
sty of the market cannot be guaran-
teed. 1t is much the same thing as
lottery.
The growers of Nebraska and Kansas
are still rushing their stock onto the
markets, and the result is a very much
demora!ized state of affairs. This
course is made absolutely necessary on
account of the scarcity of feed. In
many. sections of the two states named
the crops have dried up and blown
away.

of longer raising the drainage to the
old tunnel will be removed. The main
tunnel taps the workings of the On
tario in such a way that every drop
of the water will flow out through it
by gravitation. The Slight incline of
the drain will give a good fall to the
stream, and it will be possible to util-
ize the water for power purposes,
should any occasion ever arise.
The accompanying maps give some
idea of the magnitude of the great
work now nearing completion. It will
be observed that throughout the en-
tire length Of the main tunnel, nearly
three miles, there ale no shafts or air
vents. 1t was the intention of the
company to sink to the tunnel in several
places, but the idea was abandoned af-
ter a searching investigation, as being
impracticable and necessitating an
