The work this year has been some
what handicapped by the introduction

ordered by the State Board Of Educa-
ton. However. the books selected by
the State Board are so superior to the
old ones. that very satisfactory work
was done by both teachers and pupils.

the future.
Nearly all the pupils who attended
school regularly made creditable aver
ages and a large percentage was pro-
NOTED.
The Senior Class, which was gradu-
ated June 25th. was an exceptionally
strong one and its members should
compare tavorably, both in scholarship
and mental power. with graduates from
other high schools.
The teachers employed during the
year we're all. able, Conscientious and
painstaking, and were in most respects
efficient.
Thanking you for the uniform

Honesty

Is a very good policy to follow, no matter what business you are conduct ing Take, for instance, if man is go- Ing to wrestle another man and he rups vaseline or something of its nature all over his body so that the other felloW cannot get a hold on him, that lsn square and 99 times out of lOO ne Is caught; then the laugh is on nm. Again. you'll gee large public contracts let to the highest bidder. but they are usually 1lipped in time and, of course again the laugh is in order Then again you'll see business men selling second or third class tea. coffee or but ter for fancy prices; they. too. some times get tripped up. But why should you buy poor tea at 90 cents per pound. bad tasting coffee at "a or 8 cents per pound. tainted butter or oleo at 24 cents per pound. when you can get the warranted good kind at the same prices in our store? LOT course we bar oleo. All we ask of you is that you give us trial and see if our say so is not our do so. We will continue to give a well made chair with pound of our Baking Pow der for one week more at

Paid s7 for Distributing Handbills
 Contrary to Law.


 People on Bank street between Grand street and the Naugatuck de pot yesterday were surprised to see man stop persons and shake his lists in their faces. Those who were thus threatened were also somewhat sur prised. At the depot the man made a speech and defied train. He called names to a man who was looking at him from q window in the, Farrel foundry and then he buckled into the engineer on a passing engine. He next sailed into the waiting room at the de- pot and before he had got far in his speech the heavy hand of Officer Brickel was upon him and this morn ing he faced the charges of intoxica- ti0n and breach of the peace before Judge Burpee in the city court.
 I'm as innocent as any O your selves, yeronner," said the man. who responded to the name James Dorsey. I'm as innocent as the saint when he was going to kill his son in the garden of Eden and would have killed him but a voice from heaven told him not. And as for calling that officer the names he said I did. I have never called any man such names, never in my life, yeronner." The court asked who the man was and the man says he has been sixteen years in the c4ty and was employed constantly by Contrac- tor McManus. He was fined $10 and costs on each complaint.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.-President Roose-

ton:
"A terrible bereavement has be-
fallen our people. The president of
the United States has been struck
down; crime committed not only
against the chief magistrate, but
against every law-abiding and liberty
loving citizen.
president Mckinley crowned q
life of largest love for his fellow men,
of most earnest endeavor for their

tude; and both the way in which he
lived his life and the way in which, in
the supreme hour of trial, he met his
death, will remain forever a precious
heritage of our people

press our abiding love and reverence
for his life; our deep sorrow for his
untimely death.
Nov, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-

of the dead president will be laid In
its last earthly resting place, as a

recommend all the people to assemble
on that day in their respective places

and to pay out of full hearts their
homage of love and reverence to the

The statement that the. strike was
settled seems to have been little pre-
mature. There seems to have been an
agreement reached between the labor
leaders and the head of the steel COR
poration, though nothing definite has
been given out. However, the men
did not go back to work yesterday as a
body, though many individually did,
but the majority held off, waiting for
word from headquarters which did not
come. 1t is asserted that the tin plate
workers were overlooked in the settle
ment. Whether this is SO, or not, and
if so, is the reason why the strike was
not declared off yesterday. is not at
this time known.

The twin cities have done a great
deal of claiming as to, their right to
the United States district attorneyship
for Minnesota, which is now vacant.
In all of this claiming they have paid
little attention to the rest of the state,
in fact ignored it entirely. St. Paul
has made the claim that the place be-
longed to it by right. The Minneapo-
lis Journal few days ago in attempt
ing to dispute this claim, and establish
the priority of the flour city to that
right, shows plainly that as usual the
cities have been we'll taken care of at
the expense of the rest of the state.
There are 100 offices in the Journal 8
list, and OF these fifty-nine are held by
twin city politicians, their salaries
aggregating $1O7, 100. 70, while the state
outside. the cities has only seventeen
Offices, with the total salaries of $f03, =
So %. When it is remembered that
four-6fths of the population of the
state lived outside the two cities, the
injustice of the present state of affairs
is apparent The Journal has sup
piled an unanswerable argument why
the district attorneyship should not go
TO either of the twin cities.
