 Occasion Was Quiet.

Our People See Roosevelt, But the
 Occasion Was Quiet.
 About 500 people assembled at Union Depot in Canaan Tuesday noon to greet President Roosevelt. The news of the accident at Pitts6eld had reached Ga. naan about 10 o'clock, and created great excitement until 1t was definitely learn ed that the President was not fatally injured but would be able to continue his trip although no encouragement was given that the train would stop at Canaan. The Warner house had been decorated with bunting and large flag was suspended across Main street in front of said hotel. At 12 54 the special train of five cars carrying Presi dent Roosevelt and party arrived from Stockbridge and slowly passed the station without coming to full stop. President Roosevelt appeared on tho rear platform of the train and saluted the people who had assembled to greet him. Hats and handkerchiefs were waved in response. but no noisy demon stration was made. Everyone WAS thankful that the President still lived, and his miraculous escape from death was the cause of much quiet rejoicing The Presidents train was in charge of Conductor Frederick Tanner.
 THE PIrTsFIELD AocIDENT
 About g. 30 .. m. Tuesday as President Roosevelt and party were riding from PittsAeld to Lenox their tally y-ho was run into by trolley car of the Pittsfield and Lenox street railway. Secret Ser vice Detective Craig was riding with the driver and tried frantically by gestures to have the motorman stop the car, but it was of no avail and the swiftly run ming car crashed into the President's 's equipage and instantly killed one of the horses. Detective Craig fell under the car and was run over and killed. The driver of the tally-ho, D. J. Pratt, vas fatally injured, Secretary Cortelyou was temporarily stunned, President Roose- velt was badly bruised and cut about the face and body, Governor Crane was considerably bruised and Representa- tive Lawrence was almost unhurt. Mo. torman Luke J. Madden and Conductor James Kelly of the car were immediate ly arrested. They said they were try ing to reach the Pittsheld Country Club house ahead of the Presidents party. Craig's body was cared for. and Pratt sent to the House of Mercy and it is rs- ported that he died. The other injured members of the party were cared for by physicians who were ia some of the rear carriages. The President drove on to Lenox where he stopped short time and then went on to Stockbridge. Pres ident Roosevelt was deeply affected by the death of his friend Craig and the driver and would make no speeches st Stockbridge. Great Burlington. Canaan or New Milford, where in each place the people crowded to see him He received their greetings with few sober words and dignified salutations.

The Chapia Entertainment.

The Ch6pl0 EntertAln ment.
 We are requested to print the follow ing belated matter:
 The entertainment given in the Town Hall August IS by Mir Benjamin Cha pin of New York, assisted by Miss Laura Fl. Ohspin of Lakeville, soloist. was one of the most instructive as we'll as de- lightful evenings that our townspeople have had the privilege of enjoying for a long time.
 MT Ohapin's portrayal of MT Lincoln was in itself . most dramatic and effect i've effort. The audience felt that the curtain had indeed been lifted from the past, and there moved before us, once again, not only the greatest American, but one of the worlds greatest men.
 Sympathetic. tender. dramatic, those who heard will not soon forget the last days of Mir Lincoln's life, 30 vividly brought before us by Mir Chapin.
 Miss Laura H. Chspin always finds . warm welcome in Canaan, but surely never gave us so great treat before. Where every number is 80 beautiful it is hard to choose; but if we may do so, we especially recall the "Bird Songs" |" particularly The Swallow, where Miss Ohapin's fine vocalization, strength, sweetness and purity of tone 80 delight ed every one. In the past we have greatly enjoyed Miss Chapin's singing, but we have heard many remark since last week, "Surely Miss Chapin never sang 80 delightfully."- to us before"

In cases where bronchitis has become

the earlier stages, there is nothing so good
as DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast
Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly
advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application, along the. front. of, the
throat, from close up under the chin to well
down to the top of the chest; the one rem
edy assists the other, and, as intended, they
work in complete unison. The wonderful
penetrating power of st. Jacobs Oil en-
ables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
which makes breathing more and more diff
ficult. As these adhesions become infiamed
and enlarged, st. Jacobs Oil causes such ad-
hesions to break away, making expectora-

outside and the inside at the same time.
ST. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad-
hesion, and assists DR.. August Koenig' s
Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then
both remedies act in unison in healing and
curing. The above remarksapply with equal
force in cases of asthma, Group, whooping
cough, enlarged tonsils, and all bronchial
affections. Every family should have St.
Jacobs Oil and DR.. August Koenig's Ham
burg Breast Tea always in the house in Or

first stages. Often the maladies develope
with wonderful rapidity, and complications
take place with equal suddenness.
