The Growing Wealth Of the State.

Below We give the figures show
ing the rapid increase OF assess
ments in parishes and city since
1896. The increasetin the country
parishes has been ccnssan, and IN
some cases phenomenal, which is
quite easy to explain on account
Of the great expanse OF fertile
lands. The figures will be read
with interest by every Intelligent
citizen of the State. Taxes are
no more burdensome now than
they were in the days prior to 1876
and the people of the State have
now the satisfaction of kowing
that they are getting many public
benefits for their money which
they were utterly deprived OF

TI,IUMPHS OF MODERN SURGERY

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced, pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like inju-
rieS before inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal withort matura-
ton and in one-third the time required
by the old treatment. thamberlaip'S
Pain Balm acts on this same princi-
pie. 1t is an antiseptic and when ap-
piled to such injuries, causes them to
heal very quickly. 1t also allays the
pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men
tion the Inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail.

 To the relief of the local friends of Mayor John Prince Elton. of Water bury, the announcement was made yes terday by Attorney John K. Beach. of Bristol. Stoddard, Beach & Fisher, that no immediate attempt would be made to secure the arrest and punishment of the executive and other officials of the Brass City, who may now be considered in contempt of court for failure to obey the order of Judge Shumway, of the superior court, in the action of the Platt Brothers company against the city of Waterbury. The case will be pushed to 1 the bitter end, however, and the most drastic measures may yet be taken iagainst the officials.
 Incensed at the pollution Of the wa- ters of the Naugatuck river by the sew l age of the city, the Platt Brothers com- pany is now plaintiff in two suits against the municipality, each for $1O0,- l0OO. the last having been returned to the superior court on the first Tuesday in March. The first covers the period up to March 20, 1902. the latter dating from that time.
 | By an order of Judge Shumway June | ?, 1903, the city of Waterbury was given one year in which to rectify the matter, l the time limit expiring yesterday and no three days grace being given. The failure of the municipality to comply with the terms of the order thus places the officials in danger of being adjudged in contempt of court and being commit ted to jail.
 1 Since his accession to office Mayor Elton has used every endeavor to settle the trouble, and it is believed that he Twill eventually do so.

 Popular Sport Among Anglers of the

 The fisherman of this vicinity is more accustomed to angling in swift currents than to the quieter sport of
 his southern neighbors, but there are spots in the Niagara where bobbing
 for bass can be indulbed in successful ] ly. A long rod is needed for bobbing, which is popular with the anglers in the Southern States. The device is very simple. A piece of stout line about one yard in length is fastened to a strong rod from 10 to 20 feet sin length. Three hooks are fastened back to back to the line and tied with the white hair of deer's tail and a little colored feather. The bait resembles a
 This method of fishing is very old with the anglers. Bartram, noted fisher man described in 1764 the bobbing game as follows:
