ANOTHER ESTIMATE OF THE LATE 0. B.
 MINOR.

The death of 0. B. Minor removes from our midst one of our most extensive farmers and dairymen. He passed away on Tuesday morning, January 9. The funeral was held at his late home on Thursday, Revs MessrS Humphrey and York officiating. The congregation of relatives and friends was one of the larg- est ever witnessed here at funeral. He was buried at the Center cemetery, the Masons, to which order he belonged, con- ductlng the services st the grave. There were present besides from his own town people from Woodbury, Waterbury, Southbury, Ansonia, Newtown, New Milford, Bridgewater and elsewhere. He was young man, 40 years of age. He had large circle of acquaintances and friends and was an enthusiastic sportsman, both with gun and rod, and many lovers of the sports will always hold dear the many happy hours spent with him and the hospitality received at the hands of the entire family. While we all shall miss him, none so much as hIs wife and son and daughter, as they were as one. We all extend our sympa- thy to the bereaved household and rela- tives and friends.

The Sexta Feira met at the residence of Mrs J. H. Taylor, last Friday after noon. MT Hungerford read paper and Mrs B. H. Heminway led the discussion on current events.
 The entertainment given at the chapel, last Friday evening, proved success. The idea of this entertainment was unique pictures which were hung up around the room, each large picture con- taining series of smaller ones on the same subject. The pictures were all numbered and the audience were furnished with slips of pa per numbered to correspond with the pictures on the wall. Sufficient time was given each one to study the pictures and guess at what the subject was. The gentleman and lady who guessed the largest number correctly were presented with prize in the shape of 8 boquet of carnations. F. G. Camp carried off the gentleman's prize and Mrs Treloar the lady's prize.
 There was 8 good attendance at the entertainment given in the parish room, last night. The party was an old-fash- toned pound party, each one bringing 8 pound of provision, the same being placed in box and forwarded to Miss Pauline Colby, teacher of an Indian sch ao1 at Leech Lake, Minn.

1t is scarcely possible to believe that
any sane American would deliberately
vote to Mexicanze the money and labor
OF the United States-that he would
vote to cut the purchasing power of the
dollar he earns to 48 cents, and at the
same time witness the inevitable rise in
prices of the necessities of life that logic
ally follows the advent of cheaper
money.
The gold standard is as much or more
in evidence today than four years ago
when the pOpulist candidate with we'll
studied stage effect, declared that the
crown of thorns was pressing down on
labOr's brow, and the cross OF gold was
ready for the crucifxion of mankind.
-Four years of the gold standard and
four years of prosperity for every class
of the people have been sufficient to
effectually silence the free silver cry. The
twin bOgies Of Imperialism and militar.
ism will not effectively divert the atten-
ton of the people from the real and only
danger-the free coinage of silver and
the consequent decentralization and panic
that would follow.

reatfirmed the Chicago platform but spe-
officially declared for Is to l.

been elected at that time
To cheaper our money, to cut our dol
lar in two, and thus Mexicanize our la
borers while raising the prices OF the
necessaries of life, is the only serious
thing chat today cOnfrOnts the American
people. That they will decide the mat.
ter now as they did four years ago there
can be no doubt
But at the same time the menace oil
Organism is in the land, and it is even
more dangerous than before
Disguised behind the straw dummies
OF militarism and Imperialism is the real
the true danger.
Wearing the cloak of dangerous dema-
goguery the populist candidate goes
about in the land proclaiming evils that
do not exist with the purpose of perpe.
trating upon the country, if elected, the
greatest evil that could befalEit it.
But the people know Mr.. Bryan, and
they know him well.
His voice is pleasing, like the voice Of
Jacob, but his hand is the hand of Esau.

FREE SILVER STILL DANGEROUS

Attention is directed to the following
letter from Hon. F. R. Campbell, who is
one of the few republicans ever elected
mayor in Texas city. He is at present
a conspicuous citizen and republican of
Ell PasO, Texas, and during the cam
paign OF 1896 was author of much ,it
tractive correspondence and several
documents relating to the destructive
effects OF the free coinage of silver. LO-
Gated as he is, upon the Mexican border.
where he has lived many years, he is
better equipped to speak of the coinage
OF Tree silver than almost any man in the
country. While much has been written
respecting the currency aud silver cues
ton in the present campaign, probably
nothing has been produced in so effect
i've and attractive a form as in this
letter:
Ell Paso, Texas, Oct lin 1896 Mr..
Bryan, the populist candidate for presi
dent in the present campaign, asserted
from every stump upon which he stood
to proclaim the manifold heresies of the
Chicago platform, that until this coun-
try had the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at sixteen to one there could be
no prosperity for the labOring man, the
merchant and the farmer.
With the gold standard continued, he
declared, the United States would ex-
perience all the woes and miseries of
stagnant business depression, scarcity
of money, and consequent hard times.
He said that under the gold standard
wages would decline while the prices of
all the necessaries of life would Increase
Three years OF unexampled prosperity
under the administration Of President
Mckinley have completely annihilated
all the theories of the Nebraska candi-
date.
The political economy of Mr.. Bryan
has not stood the test of time. 1t would
be easy to multiply examples of the
fallacy of his teaching.

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When a man begins to add to his hours
Of labor, and subtract from his hours
Of rest, he is putting an extra strain on
brain and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi-
cines. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stinulants are only
spurs. The need of the body is
strength. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
