TOLLAND.

Mrs. Joslyn has been visiting her son,
Col. Joslyn of Hartford, for the past week.
Mrs. Jewell has returned from quite a
prolonged visit to New York and New
Jersey.
The annual harvest supper and enter
tainment was given by the Ladies' Aid
society of the Methodist church on Friday
of last week.
Rev. F. T. Davies of New Haven sup
piled the pulpit of the Congregational
church Nov. 2. The sacrament of the
Lords supper was administered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pease of Springfield were
the guests over Sunday of Miss Marion
Agard. Mr.. and Mrs. Pease ale return
ing from their wedding trip to New York
and Philadelphia. Mrs. Pease was a
classmate of Miss Agard in college
The Y. P. s. G. E., held social at the
home of Messrs. West and Benton at the
head of Snipsic lake on Wednesday even
ing. A social in this hospitable home
always proves success and this one was
no exception.
The regular business meeting of the
Library association was held Monday
| afternoon. The social hour which fol-
lowed, during which tea, sandwiches and
cake were served, was very much enjoyed.
Twenty four ladies were present.
1t has been voted by the Library associ-
alton to send cases of twenty books each
into the several school districts. They
are to be cared for by the teachers, re-
tanned one month and then passed on to
the next district. In this way each school
will have the benefit of 100 carefully Sc
lected books during the school year. The
cost and labor in selecting and sending
out these books by the association has
meant something, and is hoped they will
be used and appreciated. The plan is
strongly commended by Secretary Hine.
The annual school entertainment for
the benefit of the library will be held in
the town hall Friday evening, Nov. 18th.
The exercises will consist of Rotations,
dialogues, singing, etc., by pupils OF the
several districts, followed by spelling
contest. Prizes of one two and three dol
lars are offered by Mrs. Downing of
Springfield to the three children who
stand the longest. Bags of candied pop
corn will be for sale at the close, at 5
cents each. These entertainments have
proved very popular in the past, and the
object for which they are given is very
worthy one. AS the schools are now to
have the benefit of library books, all
should feel interested in helping on the
good work.

CROP CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
Too Much Rain Retarded Eastern Grain,
but Did Little Damage,
MISSOURI VALLEY CORN is STILL SOFT
winter wheat Seeding is Largely
Completed and f. Generally Ger
minRtinE Wen where
SOwn Early.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE following
summary Of crop condition. for the month
Of October was issued by the Weather bu-
reau todoy:
The month, as a whole. was very mild,
with a generally sufficient rainfall, which
over a large part Of the Atlantic coast and
gulf districts resulted IN little injury, eE-
cept in the early part Of the month.
In the central Valleys the conditions arc
generally favorable for hardening corn, but
a considerable portion of the crop in the
lake region and over the northern portions
OF the Mississippi and Missouri valleys is
yet soft.
Rains caused considerable injury to cot
ton during the early part of the month.
especially in the central and western por-
lions of the belt. The weather Of the
middle and latter part of the month was
more favorable and the development of a
fair top crop in some localities resulted.
At the close Of the month picking was still
in progress, and with delay Of frosts much
will yet be gathered, the most favorable
prospects for a top crop being reported
from northern and central Texas.
Winter wheat seeding made satisfactory
progress and was largely completed by the
close OF the month in the principal winter
states. The early sown has, as a rule,
terminated well, good stands being gem
orally reported. Fly is, however, quite
extensively reported from the states Of
Ohio and central Mississippi valleys.

CRITICIsE FORMER DIPLOMAT
sir Horace RumboId Stirs Ut Hornets
Nest by Making Public Once
state Secrets.

LONDON, Nov. mo recent publication
has stirred up more comment, adverse and
otherwise, than the Austrian reminiscences
bassador at Vienna. published in the Ma
tional Review.
The continental press. outside Of Austria,
is unanimous in censuring the outspoken
writer. The National Zeitung OF Berlin,
protesting against Sir Horace's character
ization Of Germany as "England's poten-
TALLY dangerous and unrelenting foe" asks
whether Great Britain has many "such
curious diplomats" who take advantage Of
their retirement from official life to place
at the disposal OF their countrymcn OK
periences gained during active service.
The Daily Chronicle in the same con-
n%ection, raises the question:
SHOULD diplomats ever be unmuazled 20
and concludes:
While Sir Horace has been very indis-
Greet. II must be admitted that II Is some
times the best part of discretion to look
facts fairly in the face. This country de-
sires to live in peace and concord with all
the other powers, and we cannot approve
any attempt to establish international VEN
dettas. But II is the part of prudence to
recognize potential foes. The very process
OF recognition sometimes averts their po-
tentiality.
Chronicle contributes a story, for which he
vouches, to the effect that during the South
African war Emperor Francis Joseph sent
Lord Roberts an Austrian field gun OF a
new pattern, which was effectively used
against the Beers during the advance on
Pretoria.

GRAIN FIRM Goes TO WALL
odendabl Commission Company Of New
Orleans Closes It's Doors,
CROOKED PRACTICE CAUSE or FAILURE
Membe of Firm BOrrows Large
Sums Of Money for own Use
From Banks on Forged Bills
of LadtnE.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. President j. e.
Odendahl OF the Odendahl Commission
company. limited. one Of the largest grain
exporting firms in the United states, has
issued the following circular to the grain
trade:
w regret very much to have to advise
you that our firm is forced into liquidation
and will not be able to pay its liabilities.
You will spare us the necessity OF making
further explanations as they are painful.
Our business has been very profitable
and large, but the profits have been d.
verified into other channels not through any
fault Of the writer"
Today's circular follows a widely circu-
lated report OF alleged forgeries on the
part Of a prominent of1cer OF the Arm,
amounting to between $780, 900 and S175,O 600,
and at the present time the following banks
are known to hold the company's paper in
approximately these amounts:
Compton Rationale d'Escompte de Paris,
$4,000; Hibernia Bank and Trust company,
$4,000; Louisiana National bank, SIS, 900;
Commercial National bank. $4,000.
The odendahl Commission company has
done a large grain exporting business, and
for years has been in the habit OF borrow
ing large sums from ten days to a month
on unindorsed notes secured by bills OF lad
ing, warehouse receipts and blanket insur-
ance policies.
1t is alleged that advantage has been
taken OF the high credit of the firm to bor-
row immense sums from banks on forged
bills OF lading and warehouse receipts, and
that this has been the cause OF the failure.
F. ]. Odendahl, president OF the company,
was formerly president of the New Orleans
Board of Trade, and is one OF the best
known business men in the south. The
company bought extensively In Kansas City,
st. Louis, Chicago and other cities.
No warrant has been issued for the ar
rest of the oficial alleged to be responsible
for the failure Of the Arm, and he is re-
ported to have left the city.

SELECTS HER OWN TREATMENT
Father of Young Woman Under Care
of Christian Scientists Makes
a Statement.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Holmes Hoge,
assistant cashier of the First National
bank of Chicago, made the following state
ment today regarding the case Of his daugh-
ter, which has attracted considerable at
tention:
Miss Hoge left Chicago for Washington
on October II, and on the sd she wired to
her parents that she was suffering from
an attack and asked help, which was at
once given. My daughter has never united
with the Christian Science church, but 1t
is said has been in thorough sympathy
with the teachings. Hence, after consul
tation with Mrs. Hoge a message was sent
to a friend of my daughter that IF Louise
prefers medicine have 1t. II not, call Mrs.
Ellen b. Linscott in Washington Mrs.
Hoge left for Washington AT once.
Thus, II will be seen that no coercion or
even advice was given to our daughter,
but she being a woman grown was given
free choice as TO treatment. Mrs. Ellen
Brown LinscOtt. C.. s.. D., has charge OF
the case. | arrived in washington on
Wednesday. We have seen very little of
the press reports, but have heard what
has been said i'm many directions, and | de-
sire to say that very great exaggerations
have been INDUCED I'm. The case Is yielding
to the treatment. At this date, November
/. my daughter is steadily improving and
her condition Is satisfactory.
