house and at adjournment the author
was facetiously advised to bid it good
bye. The bill. however, has more
friends in the lower house than was
at first supposed and they will appear
before the committee on banks to
support it though it will probably not
pass.

that part of inventories relating to
party affiliations to city or town
clerks. Clerks shall prepare on the
third Tuesday in May of each year, In
which there Is general election, n
list of voters at such election and
designate after the name Of each vot-
er, his political party as shown by the
returns to him, and shall post six
copies. The board of civil authority
shall on the first Tuesday in June and
at adjournments thereafter revise and
correct such lists upon proper pro-
ceedings. All party caucuses for
election of delegates to conventions to
nominate state, district and county Of
ficers shall be held during the second
week In June. Caucuses for nomina-
tion of town representatives and JUS
tices of the peace shall be held during
the first week in August. Ten days
notice of caucuses must be given. No
person shall vote In party caucus un-
less his name Is on the check list as
being of that party. Penalty for vot-
ing when name Is not on check list, or
attempting to vote or voting more
than once on same ballot not less

OF all measures thus far introduced
those providing for the repeal of all
bountes on noxious animals have op-
emily the most friends. The hedgehog
bill of last year, which has taken over
$4,000 from the state treasury. is now
acting as a boomerang and as re-
suit 1t is probable that payment for
any bounty on noxious. animals will
soon be a thing Of the past. Water
bury is the banner town of the state
in the rearing of hedgehogs, nearly
$1,000 having been paid residents of
that town for bounties on these ami
mails since the law went into effect
two years ago.

received q report from Captain Wooten, the
officer in charge, in regard to the condition
of work on the new highway bridge across
the Potomac. It appears from this report

favorable progress is being made in the
construction of the other piers, with the
exception Of piers 8. and Z, upon which
work has not yet commenced
In addition to the work on the substitute
ture. considerable work has also been done
on the superstructure of the bridge. The
false work for spans and Il has been COM
pleted and an erecting traveller is in posi-
ton on span 1. The main floor system of
that span Is already in place. About 1900
tons of steel for the superstructure have
been rolled at the shops of the contractors,
nearly the entire amount called for, about
1900 tons Of which have been completed and
shipped to the site of the bridge.
During the present month it is expected
that two more piers will be completed and
that the false work for spans and II will
be in position. Spans 1 and II are prac-
tically completed so far as the erection of
