DID NOT KILL A LION

The President Has Not Fired Shot
 He Is Returning to Headquarters.
 CINNABAR, Mont April 15.-Presi- lent Roosevelt has broken camp and is slowly working his way to Major Pitchers headquarters at Fort Yellow stone. He is expected to arrive at Yan- rey's today and to reach the fort some time tomorrow. He will remain there one day and then will start for Norris, where the geysers are.
 There is good deal of snow between the fort and Norris, and the. engineer corps is at work opening the road. Word received from the president Is to the effect that he is in the best of health and thoroughly enjoying his out ing. In addition to horseback riding, he takes long walks over the mountain trails.
 Notwithstanding reports to the con trary, the president has not fired shot at a mountain lion and has no intention of doing so. It is estimated that there are 500 of these animals in the park, and they are killing large quantities of deer and elk. A determined effort is being made to 'exterminate them, and Buffalo" Jones, the game warden of the park, with his scouts, is staying them on every possible occasion. MT. Jones has offered to round up lion or two for the president to shoot at, but the latter has declined the offer.
 The weather continues to be all that could be desired.
 The party left at Cinnabar are hav- ing good time fishing and riding through the country.

6,ooO WHO PAY.

The cash receipts from circulation of the Waterbury Republican during February, 1903, were the highest in the history of the newspaper. The amount was $1,541.95. For March the circulation receipts were only slightly behind, $1,5O4.15. When it is considered that February was month crowded with stirring events, and that there were receipts of over $150 from extra editions, the record for the uneventful month of March is still better. It is the real high water mark.
 Of the Republicans average edi- ton of 6,OO0 copies, one-fourth or 1,5OO copies is sold direct to city subscribers at 2 cents copy. The rest of the edition is sold to dealers or carriers, or to the agents who han dle the out-of-town subscribers at the wholesale rate of cent copy. If we take the circulation receipts for March and separate them on this basis, one-fourth at the retail rate of two cents, and three-fourths at the wholesale rate Of 1 cent, and figure up the number of readers required to make up the total of $1,504.14 ac- tually received, we find
 That during the month of March, 1903, 5,250 people bought the Repub- lican every day and paid for it.
 This 5,25O does not take account of accounts not collected on March 31.
 The actual paid circulation of the Republican is considerably in ex4 cess of $500 copies daily, which is what we guarantee to advertisers. The actual circulation is 6,O00 copies daily.
 In Waterbury, Naugatuck and Un- ion City. Watertown, Oakville, Thomaston, Torrington, Woodbury, Seymour and Beacon Falls, Prospect and Middlebury more copies of the Republican are read than of any other Waterbury newspaper. More copies are delivered to homes and postoffice boxes in these towns than of any other Waterbury newspaper.
 Proofs of the above statement may be had in the books of the Republi- can (the only set kept which may be seen by any man for the asking Waterbury Republican, April IA.

Great Excitement Around Trolley Headquarters in Exchange Place
 Last Night-Uuless Blood Poisoning
 Sets in the Superintendent Will Not

 It was reported about town last night that a shooting, affray took place at the office of the trolley com pany in Exchange place in which Superintendent Wales was seriously wounded and was in a dying condi- tion. To give color to the rumor one of the strike breakers was seen run ming about the city hall building in- quiring for Dr Poore, but appeared too much excited to tell what he wanted him for. The man entered the board of public works meeting and op learning that the physician was not there but that he might find him at the meeting of the board of public safety, he made wild dash into the street and reached the city haD corridor in double quick time. While there was some trouble, it was by no means as serious as reported, tht IIofoie DeilS OccaSIoneu Dy dn un- ruly revolver which exploded while Mr Wales was cleaning it. A bullet passed through the palm of the super intendent's left hand, shattering the joint of his little finger and, continu- ing It's course, came dangerously near entering his left side close to the heart Dr Poore was found at the meeting of the board of publfv safety and dressed the wound. It was found necessary to remove a portion of the bone The physician does not an- ticipate any serious results. tboueb eases of blood poisoning in such ca are very common.

A DOG'a Fidelity.

The proverbial fidelity of the dog is illustrated in a story which comes from England. Among the daily crowd of early morning bathers in Queensmere pond, Putney Heath, was a boy escort ed by a faithful little Irish terrier. It was the custom of the dog, while his master took his dip, to sit on the edge of the lake and keep watch over his clothing. The little terrier was no- ticed long after the bathers had gone, patiently keeping guard. For more than five hours he lay there. The next day told the story of hiS solitary watch, when the dead body of his young mas ter was recovered from the lake He had been seized with fit, and his fee ble cries for help were smothered by the myriad voices of the merry-makine bathers.-Golden Days.
