ARSON SUSPECTED.
An Arrest Made in Connection With a
 Fire in Shelton.

An Arrest Made in Connection With
 Fire in Shelton.
 Shelton, April 13.-A bunch of match les to which slow-burning fuse was at |tached, box of excelsior and paper and four quart jars of kerosene form led a combination of combustibles by which the police believe a deliberate attempt was made to burn the New York Tea company's store last night. The store is in the Pierrepont block, the finest business building in the bor- tough, valued at $60,000. Henry Kauff- man, manager of the store is in GUS tody awaiting an investigation by State Fire Marshal Rusling, who has been notified.
 Miss Bessie Farrel, a Shelton young lady, was passing the store at 7:45 last evening, when she noticed a blaze be- hind one of the counters. Hurrying to her home close by, she notified the fire- lmen, who quickly responded and put out the blaze with chemical extinguish CTS. That the alarm was given barely in the nick of time was shown by the fact that several pieces of paper close to the box of excelsior were burning, and the blaze had also reached rag which was stuffed into the top of one of the kerosene jars
 According to the firenen, they found i that fuse had been made by whiting down a candle nearly to the wick. One end of this was in the center of a bunch of matches which lay amid loose paper beside the excelsior box. On top of the box were the jars of kerosene. The fuse leading from the matches was laid along the floor It had been lighted, and, although the fire had not reached the matches, it had communicated to the loose paper.
 Kaufman, the manager of the store, who is said to have closed it up at about 6 o'clock last night. was found early to-day in Derby and was taken into custody. The store was rented a little over a month ago by A. Cohen, of Waterbury, who installed Kaufman as manager. There are three other stores in the block and two tenements on the second floor, one of which is oc- Icupied.

.rana opern House

That interesting and popular picture os rural lie among the hills of New Hampshire Her First False Step will be the attraction at the Grand opera house tonight and Friday, and Saturday nights with matinee Satur- day. The play a reasonable, connected story, the incident follow naturally, and the action is swift and rapid, and it has plenty of light and shade, the com edy and serious elements being blended in happy way.
 The act shows the home of William Allen. a sturdy New England farmer. The time is Christmas eve. The event to be is the marriage of his daughter Edna to Jack Walters. The wedding i ceremony is about to occur when Dan Matthews, the wayward son of coun- try minister, enters and openly accuses Jack Walters of unfaithfulness to the girl he is about to wed. Matthews suc- ceeds in convincing Edna of the truth of his statements, and she for revenge elopes and marries Matthews. The sec ond act shows her in New York, where she has been deserted by Matthews. The third act pictures her as she strug- gles for living with the toilers of ten- 1 ements. The first scene of the fourth act is that of East river in the shadow of the Brooklyn bridge. In this scene occurs the race for life between a swift naptha launch owned by Dan Matthews and police patrol boat. The third scene of this act, which is of intense l interest, is that of the interior of 6 large circus tent owned by Dan Mat | tIews. Edna enters with her little child and as she stands looking at the ami mals Matthews grabs the child and l hurls it into the cage of African lions Jack Walters, whose love for his for ner sweetheart remains the same, en- ters the cage and beating back the lions rescues her child from the jaws of i death.
 The greatest scenic, electrical and mechanical novelty now before the pub 1 lie is that of the rescue of Tom Han l ford the hero, by Martha Barnard, the young secret service agent in "The wayward Son.

J.A. Sorley Of Grand Forks. fine
fellow personally, but just now some
what under the fire Of the state press,
happened to vote for w. N. Roach, a
democrat, for U. S. senator, some years
ago, in company with lot of other re-
publicans. Among these were our Jud
and some others who are now promi-
nent in republican politics. Any shaft
sent Sorley's way must of necessity hit
others who voted with him for the demo
craft. In these matters it is we'll to ''give
the devil his DUE" Conditions at the
time the final vote was taken when Mr..
Roach was elected were peculiar. While
the republicans had majority in joint
session the fight between the various
candidates within that party had engend-
cred such a feeling that there was no
hope Of electing republican. The feel
ing between the northern part OF the
state with Grand Forks as its center and
the Fargo crowd was very bitter. Fact
ional feeling ran higher than party inter-
est The democratic candidates for the
position were Roach of Grand Forks
county and Benton of Cass. The Cass
county republican members had in part
gone to Benton at the last ballot and
there was but little doubt that Benton
would be elected when it again came his
turn to be voted for by the democrats,
who i'll caucus had agreed to vote alter
nately for the two candidates, Roach and
Benton. 1t seemed certain that demo-
crat would be elected any way, and
Grand Forks accepted that view and
turned enough votes for Roach, the man
from Grand Forks county. to elect him,
as they claimed, to prevent the selection
of less desirable candidate. The action
of Mr.. Sorley is very doubtful blemish,
if blemlsh at all, on his political charact.

One Of the disagreeable things to the
American born emigrants to the Canad.
ian Northwest to take up lana is the ne.
cessity of taking the oath of allegiance to
King Edward. 1t is hard matter to
say that one will become the servant and
supporter of a man whom they in their
hearts don't believe to be any better than
they are themselves, and has no more
right to support or service than the accl.
dent of birth. Ofcourse, King Edward
is really but fgure-head and has not as
much real authority over his subjects
as our president, but there is wide dit
ference in swearing allegiance to some
specific person like King Edward and
swearing allegiance to the government
in this country. Here. the immigrant
swears allegiance to himself, for he, by
that act, becomes part and parcel of the
government and he is not required TO
swear allegiance to any one person by
name. Even in our army or navy, the
kAashSSo w AA0I lOuSA SuCll udtS " lllGlI
officers. but to the uniform they wear.
They need never salute an officer unless
he is in uniform, but in monsrchial gov
ernments the soldier fights 'sfor the
king" Personally. if we found it to our
advantage to go to Canada to live. we
think we would take the oath, and be-
come a citizen Of the country where we
m .de our home and whose privileges
and protection we enjoyed, but the oath
would not be pleasant, and if it was the
Gar of Russia or the Sultan of Turkey,
don't believe we could do it, but in the
case Of Mr.. Edward Guelps we might
just consider it obeisance ITO the uni
form. .

lY;he appears to have but one wife, nor
yet because his brethren in the church
are polygamists, but because the evi.
dence shows that he is the servant OF the
church, and under the rule and govern
ment of the president and elders, and
that he is bound to them. and to the
church by stronger ties than he is to the
government of the United States.
The constitution OF the United States
guarantees the privilege of the indi-
vidual in the worship OF God according
to the dictates OF his own conscience. But
the constitution does not thereby stullify
itself by permitting any individual or
body of individuals, under the name OF
religion or any other name, to become
greater in authority than the constitution.
Because in that case it would become
powerless to protect other individuals or
! organizations, or even its own self.
The case-of Mr.. Smoot rests on this
point only: Does he obey the behests
Of secret semi-religious organization or
is a citizen OF the United States?
By law we can have no power over
MIR. Smoot's peculiar beliefs; but we have
power to regulate his acts. Mr.. Smoot
might believe it proper thing to appear
in public without clothing, but he would
land in the cooler very soon after such
an appearance.
If Mr.. Smoot chooses to become the
oath-bound subject of the Mormon hier
archy, let him do SO; but the American
people expect its senators to be servants
of the people and not Of. a gang who. un.
der the name of religion, now rule Utat,
| and partially rule Idaho and some othe,
localities politically, socially and relig.
iously, and whose acknowledged pur.
pose is to rule this whole country IN the
same manner.
