The St. Louis Chronicle of
Wednesday contained sensational
article, concerning former resi-
dent of this town, Mrs. Shelton,
formerly Miss Hill, daughter of
Harry M. Hill, made an attempt to
chloroform a woman by the name
of Mrs. Stewart. The article
states that the ladies boarded to-
gether, occupied adjoining rooms
and were quite intimate. 1t was
their custom to play the races, and
Mrs. Shelton had lost heavily. Dis
covering that Mrs. Stewart had
money, she attempted to chloroform
her, but the latter's screams attracted
attention and Mrs. Shelton was fore
ed to abandon her purpose. Mrs.
Stewart refuses to prosecute. Mr..
Harry Hill in an interview in the
same issue of the Chronicle, states
that his daughter, Mrs. Shelton,
has heart disease and is compelled
to take opiates and when under
their influence is out of her head
and not responsible for her actions.
He claims that she was suffering
from one Of these spells at the time
and was crazy.

The legislature Mr. Tucker, of An sonia, introduced, by request, the follow ing resolution That the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture be. and hereby is, instructed to prepare and pub fish second edition of 5000 copies of the pamphlet, containing list of farms for sale in this state, and is directed to draw his order in payment for the same to an amount not exceeding $45O. Re- ferred to the committee in agriculture.
 A resolution that never ought to be passed provides for granting liquor H- censes for twenty-four hours to meet single occasion, such as picnics, mas- queratle balls, and the like, the very time when trouble is most likely to develop. The passage of such law would be the practical notification of the license law except in the matter of 8 picayune pay ment of money. All it's purpose of re- straint and regulation would be undone. If the Connecticut general assembly un- derstands clearly what will be the result of this proposition, then the proposition itself will fail. It is against the better sentiment of the whole community.
 The Holland county republican mem- bers will this week, probably to-day, se- lect two names to present to the legisla- ture as nominees for the office of county commissioners for four years from July next The outgoing members are Dexter Talbot, of Coventry, democrat, and Adolph Korper, of Willington, republi- can. MT. Korper does not desire to be considered candidate for reelection. According to usage, the county sheriff being from the 23d senatorial district, the 24th will be conceded two members of tho board. Names mentioned are those of J. W. Chandler, of Stafford, Ex-Sheriff Buell., of Hebron, and J. W. Edgerton, of Holland. Mir. Korper, one of the outgo- ing members, has been for several years secretary of the board, and valuable member in all ways.

7, IT isn't nice thing that the board of agriculture have done in retiring old mem- bers of the commission on diseases of do- mestic animals in favor of young men, for it isn't case of even alleged inef1iciency. In no office is experience so valuable as in this. The commissioners have, in years of service, acquired much practical knowl- edge, have served the state we'll and stood high in public estimation. But of late years there has been a growing feeling that the young men were not getting a show. Irrepressible young America wants to get hand upon the helm. This is a natural feeling, but just stop, boys, and think what your feelings will be when, just as you are wonted to your places and have become valuable to the public ser vice, another crowd of boys shall come forward, and, declaring that you are passe, shall, in turn, elbow you aside. The state wants the best it can get, and wants the benefit of experience gained in it's service. Its high places are not ''plums" for aspirants, but posts of duty, where is needed the best service to be had. And the brisk young men who are saying to faithful public servitors that it is time you gave some one else 8 chance" may wake up some time to an unpleasant real ization of seeing themselves as others may see them.
 China's would-be crafty policy of delay, hoping the winter will do what her 'sol- diers' have shown they cannot do-arrest or set back the conquering movement of the Japanese forces-has once more sig nally failed, and once more in the same line in which China attempted it before. An interview between the Japanese au- thorities and the Chinese peace envoys, shows that their credentials, like those of their predecessors, are wholly imperfect, so far as to leave the Japanese rulers ab- solutely powerless to conduct binding ne- gotiations. They refused at once to con- tinue negotiations, and requested the en- voys to leave the country as soon as pos- sible. The envoys left.

 The managers of the Law and Order League have won marked victory in Bridgeport and have made very wise use of it. They set in to discover and prosecute violators of the license law; they got a lot of evidence, and they won their test case. The liquor dealers saw the plight they were in and agreed to ob- serve the law hereafter, If the remaining cases were not pushed. The Law and Order managers thereupon agreed to sus- pend the prosecutions and thus peace is effected and the law observed. If the liquor people fail fo do as agreed, then the cases, now suspended, will be pushed.
 The Press is under obligation to all who contribute to it items of news-doub- ly so to those who bring them in early As the time for going to press draws near time and space become more valuable, and greater condensation, and in some cases omission, of valuable contributions becomes necessary. There is leisure and room enough for contributions that come in early, and in the necessary sitting out of what must be omitted or cut down, it is but just to discriminate against such as might have been (but were not sent nn early.

 THE grounding which came out of it's hole on candlemas day (Saturday), and stayed out because it could not see it's shadow, and so thought the winter was past, was an unwise animal if it ventured far from it's sleeping apartments. For on Tuesday and Wednesday came the coldest weather of the winter. The sun shone bright, but not drop of moisture could it extract from snow or ice, for the mercury kept away down and the winds blew coldly. The little loose snow on the ground was drifted into little piles ,and so beaten down by the wind that it was leaden in weight Locomotives found it impossible to make time through these little hard driftlets, and trains of Tues day night and Wednesday morning were, as rule, hours late. Thermometers re- corded from to 20 degs. below in Staf- ford, and reports of still lower tempera- ture comes from different parts of New England.
 THE proposition to abolish the office of county commissioner is, if considered 8 confession that good, true, capable and unpurchasable men cannot be found to fill the office, humiliating confession, and one that we are not prepared to join in making. The office is a needed one If we cannot get the rightEmen by legis- lative appointment let some other method of election be tried. Here in Holland county we have generally found good and capable men. If there Is evidence that in one or more instances in other counties 8 scoundrelly sell-out to the liquor interests has been made, it is right to expose the men and to call their proceedings by it's right name. The price of liquor licenses was last fall reduced in most counties of the state, because it was (no doubt er- roneously) deemed almost compulsory to follow an example set by the board in one of our largest counties, a course con- demned by the best public sentiment everywhere, and especially because of assertions that there was ''considera- tion" for such action. But it may not be best on account of this to overturn the system of county administration. If the legislature cannot give us trustworthy of- fieers, let the judges have the selection of them; and in any case let the price of liquor licenses be fixed by law; and, better yet, also establish limit of num- Der of licenses granted, proportioned by nonulation.
