DERBY GAS co.
Reduces its Price of Gas-Officers and
 Directors

Reduces it's Price of Gas-Oficers and
 Directors.
 The Derby Gas company announced on Monday that the board of directors voted at a recent meeting to reduce the price of gas from $1.25 to $1.2O per thousand feet, for all who pay their gas bills before the fifteenth of the month The present rate in the places supplied by the company is $1.40 per one thou sand feet, with reduction of fifteen cents for each one thousand feet if the bill is paid before the fifteenth of the month
 It was voted at the meeting of the di- ,rectors to reduce the gross price to $1.30 and to give a rebate of ten cents per thousand to those paying before the f1f- teenth of the month. By this reduction both those who pay before and those who pay after the fifteenth are benefit ed, as the consumer who pays promptly gets his gas for $1.20, while the one who delays until the time limit has expired does not lose as much as under the old rule.
 The change in the price will go into effect on May 1, and will doubtless be appreciated by the consumers through out the communities.
 At a recent meeting of the stockhold- CTS of the Derby Gas company, the fol- lowing directors were elected: Thomas Wallace, Royal M. Bassett, Charles E. Clark, D. S. Brinsmade. Charles F. Brooker, F. E. Hoadley, Charles N. Downs, Dr. A. w. Phillips, Charles H. Nettleton. Ahe directors elected the following officers: President, Charles H. Nettleton; vice. president, Charles F. Clark; secretary, George H. Scranton; treasurer, Charles H. Nettleton

By Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys Club
 Will be a Success
 The Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club entertainment, of which announcement has already been made, is to be given in the Foy Auditorium on Friday even ing, April 29, and there has already been a large sale of tickets. The object is so worthy that we feel sure many of our readers will only be too glad to buy a ticket whether they can be present or not themselves. The proceeds are to be used in sending the club boys to Tuxis Island in July. It may seem early to talk about summer outings, but we trust this cold weather will not inter- fere with the results of the entertain ment, for it would be hard to imagine where twenty-five cents would do more good than to help one of our club boys to enjoy a few days outing during the warm summer months.

A Funny Ineident.

Quite an amusing occurrance happened
during q performance of 1.-THE Pumpkin
Husker" recently. The opening scene of
the play Is the warming of . new barn as
it is termed in Indiana, the neighbors
and friends of the owner of new barn
have gathered to dedicate it by giving
dance. At the rise of the curtain the
different characters in the play are seen
going through the movements of an old
fashioned quadrille. On tnis particular
occasion, IN old gentleman, evidently
from the country, sat in the very front
row, deeply interested in the actors, more
particularly in those of Tom Wilson "the
pumpkin husker." The dance in quest
ion contains one more gentleman than it
does ladies, and every time the old man
endesvoss to secure . partner. Every
time this naaneuver was gone through the
old fellow would raise up in his seat and
betray signs Of the greatest excitement.
Az the dance progressed his excitement
increased until finally when Jim Daniels
secured Edith Johnson, his sweetheart ~
the play, the old fellow unable to contain
himself any longer spraug up and yelled
out, "Thats II, dern yeh I've bin wantin
teh zee yeh git that gal fer the last hour.
The roar q laughter that greeted this
unexpected bit of comedy caused the old
man to realize where he was. and be sub
sided with noticeable embarrassment.

Active operations have begun on the

and force of men are now at work sink
ing the shaft by which this property is
being developed. There is every reason
to believe that the Lead Belt is an exten-
sion Of the Sun and Moon at the junction
of the Main Trunk, portion Of the Gem
vein, and as these properties are two of
the largest producers in this district, this
junction should prove of exceptional
value to the former rendering it in time a
large and steady shipper, and perhaps a
worthy rival to the others.
It is authoritatively understood that the
group will be consolidated with the other
properties owned by the Miners Gold
Developing Company.
