NAUGATUGk NUGGETS.
Board Voted to Lay Larger Water Pine on Town Farm Property

John Manning. Frank Wilson and .1ameS Tracy. three forIoln looking specimens of that type of man known as s.Weary Willies," were arra12ned before Judge Hungerford n the Dor ough court this morning on T charse of yagrancy. The trio were arrested last night by Officer Malone. Man. ming and Tracy told hard luck story. evidently thinking that the court of1- cials were esaily fooled, but il tailed to work and Judge Hungerford sen fenced them both to thirty days in jail. In the case. of Wilson, who told q straight story of his dislike for work. sentence was suspended on the contii- ton that he leave town immediately.
 The board Of charities held 8 meet ing in the town hall building last even ing. After several relief eases were acted up the board took lip the maf5er of increasing the water supply at the town farm. There is plenty of water in the reservoir at the farm. but the pipe that conducts it to the house Is TOO small. and the board voted to lay a larger pipe from the reservoir t3 the house. The committee appointed 10 look into the matter of ligating the town hall with gas presented their re- port. They were all favorable to tie change and the board voted to make application to the gas company for q meter and gas connections. The board also voted to have tie old gas iiXtares refinished by the Naugatuck fanufac- turing Co. After some business of minor importance the board votei to adjourn.
 The special election to choose dele gate to the constitutional convention is being held in Naugatuck and III every town in the state to-day. The special election is being conducted the same as the regular town election. John H. Whittemofe is the republican candidate and John NJ. Page the dem- ocratic candidate for the honor.

stopping gambling as much as vagran- cy. The sale of Lewis was typical of Kentucky county court day auction. The auctioneer, a man past middle life, stood on the old courthouse steps.
 :.Gentlemen," he cried, '.come right np heah; I'm a-goin' to do something which many of you have never seen, and which some of you have forgot. I'm a-goin' to do something I haven't done for 36 years. I'm a-goin' to sell a nigger. As just said minute ago, ] haven't seen one sold in 36 years. T saw plenty of it before the war.
 s'Now, gentlemen, by order of the Spencer county court, I'm a-goin' to sell Sye Lewis. of color, to the highest and best bidder for a term of nine months. I'm told by the sheriff that Sye Lewis cannot be found, so I'm in- structed to sell the nigger a-runnin' Now, l want you gentlemen to under stand that we are responsible for the nigger until we deliver him into youth hands befeh the courthouse door. I forgot to say that I don't believe he has any bIemishes on him, except a carbuncle on his neck. can guaran- rec that he is not stringhaltered or eve necked.
 Now, gentlemen, we have heard all the terms of the sale Some one give me bid on Sye' Lewis, and start him along"
 Alter a time some one bid two dol lars and when the auctioneer had ex- hausted his effort 10 have the bid in creased he was knocked down at that price.
 Sye is still ''a-runnin'."

One of the odd results of the hot weather of the past summer was the spouting of bricks into the air in sev- eraI western towns Tn Kansas City. where the thermometer registered 103.3 degrees, the pavements in many parts of the city expanded in places. bulged out and shot bricks upward into the air to the height of nine or ten feet The oldest inhabitant never before heard Of this phenomena on. -

Sadness Exnlained-

In Liverpool recently a sentimental young lady was on the Cunard steam ship quay when she saw young girl sitting on trunk in an attitude of utter dejection and despair
 Poor thing" thought the romantic lady, "she is probably alone and a stranger Her pale cheeks and great, sad eyes tell of broken heart and a yearning for sympathy. So she went over to the traveller to win her con fidence.
 Crossed in Iove?" she asked sym pathetically.
 "No," replied the girl. with a sigh. "crossed in the Servia and an awfuIly Bough passage, too" ."--London Tit-Bits.

GENEVA CENTURY TREE.
S.ory of How It Grew from the Walk sng-Sticl1 of a Traveller = Has
 Shaded Many Congregations.


 On Maple Hill, one mile west of the largest trees in this state. It is 120 feet high, 115 feet in diameter, meas ured through the branches, and the diameter of the trunk is eight feet. Maple Hill is the home of Charles Bean. It is the highest ridge in the vicinity of Geneva and the tree can be seen for many miles from nearly. every point of the compass. For many years the turnpike (now Hamilton street), on which the tree stands, was an In dian trail. The trail became a state road in 1794.
 Somewhere about 100 years ago, says the Buffalo Express, prospector named Ephraim Lee passed through the present site of Geneva, on trip over the old Albany and Buffalo turn pike. On his journey around the foot of Seneca lake he cut a stick to help himself along. At the summit of Ma pie hill he stuck his cane in the rich earth and, lying down, went to sleep It was late when he awol1e, and he re- sumed his tramp, forgetting the freshly cut, green stick, which soon rooted and sprouted and grew to be the monarch of the forest" Lees story preserved the tree, when the forest was cleared all about it, and in 1s43 the trunk was driven full of spikes, so that an unsentimental road master could not cut it down! It is believed that the iron is the cause of it's wonderful, thrifty old age. When Gen. La Fayette visited Geneva he was met by cavalcade which waited under this tree for the distinguished visitor, and on subsequent occasions it has shaded many a congregation of reli- gious worshipers.

of remarkable prosperity among the far
mers. He SAID they not only have
money TO pay their debts and 20 buy more
land, but TO start banks in their own
country towns. This accumulation Of
money shows that the people Of this sec
ton are selling more Of their products
than they are buying Of others. IN other
words il shows that Kansas IS getting
rich and that instead OF sending east TO
borrow money they are wanting 10 loan
money to somebody else.
Mr Amldon thought it did not take
much Of a dnancler 70 see the outcome
OF this When money. accumulatea until
there are more men wanting TO loan than
70 borrow then people VIII begin to look

TO the action of the Fourth National
bank Of this city drawing four per cent
interest. He said that showed that there
was plenty OF money here and people
were willing 10 invest IN something pay
ing a small per cent provided II IS per-

this city were perfectly safe, but he con
sldered that Investments IN real estate in

Catarrh

The best authorities say, is disease
Of the blood.
Therefore local applications cannot
cure.
Being q constitutional disease it
requires a constitutional remedy
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
By thoroughly purifying the blood,
this great medicine reduces the in
hammation Of the mucous membrane
and stops ell catarrhal discharges Of
the nose, throat, stomach, bowels,
bladder and generative organs.
Catarrh is especially dangerous in
persons who inherit or have acquired
q predisposition TO consumption.
In these and all other catarrhal cases,
Hoods Sarsaparilla so thoroughly rem
ovates the blood and restores strength
and 7igor that it permanently cures.
In fact, because Of the character Of
the disease, and the peculiar merit OF
the remedy, Hoods Sarsaparilla IS the
common-senss treatment for catarrh.
"Iwas g sufferer from nasal eatarrh, grad
ually growing worse. I began taking
Hoods sarsaparilla which completely
cured me Of that troublesome disease"
