The charge that Senator Jones had defrauded her of the funds en- trusted to him was made by Repub- licans before the Lincoln club in Lit tie Rock. Now Gov.

The charge falls as flat as many another of the petty insinuations and islanders to which the opposition has resorted ill default of any vulnerable point of attack in the public record of Senator Jones'"

WATERTOWN JOTTINGS.
TERMINUS OF NEW ELECTRIC
 ROAD AT LOCAL DEPOT.

 day Party and Other Notes. Out of town surveyors under Ae direction of the local Selectmen are establishing boundary lines and con- piling map to be used in the work of constructing another stretch of telford road from the brick store to Taft's school by way of the postoffice. This is in accordance with the vote passed at the town meeting and the state appropriation to the town of Watertown for this work will amount to S5,20O. It is not proposed to start work on the new telford road this fall, but rather to have eyeryl--ng n readiness to obtain bids on the con tract so that the road work may be commenced the first thing in the spring. There is more or less red tape about everything of this -u, particularly when state / money IS used. When completed this will complete a continuous stretch of tel ford roadway from Taft's school to Brombergs in Oakville. All that IS need now is Waterbury's decision to meet us halfway in the work of road improvements.
 Surveyor Mckenzie of the Water town and Litchfield Tramway Co called upon Selectman Lockwoou this morning in regard to the location of certain boundary survey lines con nected with the establishing of a route for the trolley road from Lnls town to Litchfeld and Norfolk. Quite number of surveyors are at work between here and Bantam lake, under MT McKenzie's direction. It is the intention of the new trolley company in accordance with the charter, 70 TO- cate the terminus of the electric road in close proximity to the local railroad station. It is not the inten- tion of the Watertown and Litchfleld Tramway company to connect with the cars of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company on the Water town extension as much as it is to make good connections with the ser vice on the Watertown branch of the Consolidated railroad. The local se- lectmen will file their report in regard to the trolley extension from Oakvi1le in about a week. It is more than likely that the trolley line will not be extended to Greenyille, as it has been announced that according to the char ter or franchise to Watertown the company has authority to extend as far as the brick store only.

 After reading the letter the presi- dent turned it over to his secretary, Dr. Francis Shepardson, with instruc- tions to take it to NJ. c. MacLean, the head of the bureau of informa tion. Following Dr. Harper's instructions, pr. Shepardson took the letter to MT. MacLean and suggested that the la4 ter inform the young lady that it would be rather inconvenient. for the president of the university to meet her and that, in addition, it would be setting a bad precedent.
 But right there the chivalric nat ture of the head of the information bureau bubbled forth as he pictured pretty co-ed ''of pleasing appearance alone and lonesome in a great city. He de- clared that if the president of the uni yresity could not meet her he would, and he immediately set to work to dis cover on which train the fair one would arrive

The little town Of Marshfield. with
a population Of 1891 according 10 the
last census, has prosperous Young
Mems Christian Association. The last
issue Of the Coast Mail gives the fol-
lowing interesting account OF its equip
ment ana management; 1T was or
ganszed about six months ago. and now
claims to have one Of the best equip
pcc rooms in Oregon, outside Of Port
land The rooms are located at the
north end Of the business portion Of
Front street. near Tom HirSt's store.
The reading room IS kept comfortable
and attractive. and is well supplied
with good literature, including daily
papers and weekly and monthly maya
ZINES such as would do credit TO a
larger town. In the gymnasium IS a
good bow ling alley, also other appara-
tus found in gymnasiums and 1t Is
now proposed to add 10 the present
equipment basket bali court. and the
intention is 10 organize several basket
bah teams The baths are excellent
and are well paironized. The gymnas-
ium and baths are free to members
only, whereas the reading room is free
TO all who desire to read. The building
is in charge Of Mr.. P. NJ German. who
acts as general secretary, and his large
experience in the work makes him am
ply qualified TO I'll the position The
money To meet the expenses has been
raised by membership dues, voluntary
Subscriptions and from refresh
ments served BY the noble la
dies af the town who have
from the inauguration Of the work
been untiring in their efforts both in
the solicite ton OF funds and the serv-
ing of refreshments. Il is, however,
hoped lhat the ladies will N a compaTa-
lively short time be relieved Of this
burden, as the membership is increas-
ing at such rate that it is hoped the
association viii soon be self supporting
Tho association rooms are a credit to
the town, and on their merits should
receive the support OF every person in
teres;ed IN the welfare thereof. If
little town ike Marshheld can sup
port such an institution why should
there not BE- a larger and better one
in The second city Of the state?
