KILLING A DOG ON OTHER PEOPLES PREM
ISEG

Suppose that the removal of crops
from "other peoples premises" that
you had taken on shares to raise was
the canse of your passing to and from
a certain piece of ground. And suppose
that your dog unnoticed by you follows
along under the wagon, when along
creeps lion jawed dog and grabs him.
Would you leave your dog to have his
legs gnawed off, because he was on the
other mans premises? Or would you
after trying a stone with no success {;
weapon within reach) and stab him in
the neck to protect yourself and dog.

TOBACCO.


Tobacco is q vicious weed.
1t was the devil sowed the seed.
But then, the devil has his due,
And 80 we wicked, put him through.
And, when we call for something to drink,
We never stop to even think;
But call tor whiskeY, rum or gin;
And let the devil see our sin.
Tobacco calls for brazen maids.
And with whiskey makes his raids.
And then he sees all Coates Ajar."
And wonders why home is SO tar.
Tobacco is soothing need.
But tells us something more we need.
SO then we seek some beer or rum,
And go staggering to our "hum."
Give us the bright and sparklil6 water.
And make the devil do as he "oughter."
And not tempt men and wicked W omen,
no mia viiiiS compounds for their swim in.
But follow Mentor, near and far,
And never smoke the best cigar.
And N ever chew this s.ckening weed.
But chew just something that we need.

AN INCENDIARY FIRE.
Shelton.

The barn of First Selectman Robert
w. Curtis and the most of it's contents,
was destroyed by fire about 7.30 p. M,
Friday evening. About ten tons of hay,
800 bushel of shelled corn, twenty hens
were destroyed. The horse, cow and
wagons, were removed before the fire
reached them. Mr. Curtis was in the
building half hour before the fire was
discovered, and every thing seemed to
oe all right. AS the first flames were
seen coming from the roof, near the
cupola, there was faint possibility that
tramp might have been there for
nights lodging, and accidently started
blaze. No other conclusion seems pos
sible, and yet no signs of tramp have
been seen in the neighborhood. The
building was insured and the contents
partially 30. Mr. Curtis will immedi.
ately rebuild.
DEATH OF MISS LUCY CHEyELLE.

ness had begun. Miss Chevelle had
undergone an operation for appendicitis
and was apparently recovering, but
suddenly grew worse and died. Her
chosen life work seemed to be that of a
teacher, and last year she had a school at
Stepney. This year she had begun her
labors In school at Weston. Her sud-
den death was shock to the community.

GENERAL STRIKE
To Be Asked For Now By the
Mine Workers.

Columbus, O., Aug. 20.-2 p. m.-The
miners officials have adjourned after
having mapped out a statement to the
effect that the time has come for united
action by labor organizations. The call
viii make about one and a half col
umns. 1t is not ready for delivery.
The officers of the United Mine Work
ers have awakened to full realization
of the fact that a crisis is at hand in
the great strike and are preparing for
a final effort.
1t is learned that resolution was
adopted by the national board provid-
ing for the calling OF conference of all
the federated unions at St. Louis on
August 80. The purpose is to secure
the cooperation of all these Organiza-
tions. They will be asked not merely
for sympathy, but to join in the great
strike. The plan is to tie up traffic on
the railroads and in other channels of
business, so that the supply of coal may
be effectual1y cut off.

TO KILL DIAz.
Italian Anarchist i'm Mexico
With the Purpose of Assas-
sinating the President.

st. Louis, Aug. 20.-A special TO the
Globe-Democrat from San Antonio,
Tex, says:
F. P. Gonzales, editor of Elgrito Del
Pueblo, Spanish paper published in
the town of Beeville, is in receipt of a
letter of recent date from an inf1uen-
tial friend in Mexico, in which it is
stated that the authorities have discov-
cred an Italian anarchist, who has just
arrived in that country with the inten-
ton of takin the life of President
Diaz.
The anarchist, the letter says, is kept
under the StricteSt surveillance, and
will be arrested the first demonstration
he makes, or as soon as the chain of
evidence can be linked a little closer
The letter is from an official in the City
of Mexico, and Mr.. Gonzales vouches
for its reliability.
Tt is believed the anarchist who has
marked President Diaz for his victim
belongs to the bloody band whose aim
is to assassinate the rulers of all the
great nations, and that his coming to
America is in pursuance of a general
plan.
