THE DISTRICT COURT.
Disposed of a Large Amount of
 Business in One Hour.

The December term of the district court, criminal side, opened and closed to-day. All the business was disposed of within an hour. Garrett Savers pleaded guilty to keeping his saloon on South Main street open on Sunday and was fined $40 without costs. This was a reduction of S60 of the fine imposed in the city court.
 Two cases for theft were charged against Christopher Hapenny, One was settled on payment of $20.T6, and the other was continued to the March term of the court. It is very probable that it will be nolIed then. A complaint against Charles W. Lang for non-support of his wife and child was nolled, the parties having made up their differences and become Ireconciled. Lang is employed by the Bristol Manufacturing Go at Piatts Mills.
 James Pulosi, charged with play ing policy. forfeited his bail of $40O. His bondsman was Frank Pulosi
 Judge Cowell did not consider him. self qualified to hear the case against Benjamin Hall, charged with assault ing Fred Schwenkel This affair tooR place about Il o'clock one night last spring. The complainant had stepped off a car to go to his home on Belle view avenue, off North Main street, when he was set upon by the accused and given a beating that confined him to the house for some days. As Judge CoWell heard the case in the city court he did not consider himself competent to hear it in his own court. And as Judge Peasley was also disqualified, he having some civil business before the jury, Judge Burpee had to be called in. Attorney c. G. Root, counsel for the defense. asked that the case be ad- iourned. as his principal witness, the accused's wife, was not able to be in court on account Of illness. The Halls now live in Terryyille. IT, w. Warner, the conductor on the car which took the complainant to his destination, told what he knew of the case, after which 1t was deemed better to continue the case to the next term. Tn the. lower court Hall was fined $50 and costs.
 The case against George Rankin for non-support of his wife was continued, as an agreement was reached which, obviated trial.
 The following cases were nolled on payment of the sums stated: John Kuzmitsky, breach of peace, $25; Mich ael Weinstine, selling junk without li- cense, SIS; John l.. Sullivan, selling property held on condition, S2O; Mo, destinO Marino, breach of peace. $10; Peter Robillard, violation of liquor law, $40.

 Because of Rum.

state Department OMcial Took Action
 BecRuse of Rum.
 BUFFALO, Dec. 6. - The German bank of Buffalo was closed by State Superint of Banking Kilburn, This action was t2ken because of a run which began with the opening of the banks doors and continued to grow In volume as the day advanced. A large crowd of excited depositors gathered ia front of the German bank seeking in- formation. Officers were placed at the door, and no one was allowed to enter. All this excitement had the inevitable result of sending nervous depoeitors hurrying to the German-Ameriean bank, which is located on the opposite side Of Main street, short distance to the south, and within few minutes the counting room was thronged with men and women, and the run which began last week wassrenewed.
 The German bank was placed in charge of George s. Leonard Of the state banking department superin- tendent Kilburn is of the opinion that the German bank will not resume busi- ness.

D. A. R. MEETING.
Boundary Mark to Dc Placed on
 Andrews laonntaln.

The meeting of Melicent Porter chapter, ID. A. R., yesterday afternoon, at the residence of Mrs Charles Miller, g Hillside avenue, was largely attend ed and was one of unusual interest. Reports were given on the matter Of placing the boundary mark on Ans drews mountain, between the ancient townships of Derby and Waterbury, and on the proposed colonial tea and loan exhibition, to be given by the chapter on Washington's birthday. The first report vas given by Miss Susie Hill She said that the owner of the land had been interviewed and had willingly given permission for the placing of the boundary mark, and had also given permission to use for this purpose any boulder from the land that might be suitable for the purpose. One was selected and arrangements made for its transportation to the top of the hill and it's placing on the exact spot of the boundary, which has been iden- tified by means of ancient records IL is to bear the original Indian names of the two towns Paugatuck (Derby) and MattattIck (yVaterbury), also the names of the five toWnships now included in the original two, Waterbury. Nauga- tuck, Derby, Seymour and Ansonia. Sickness has delayed the contractor from doing the work of transporting the stone, but if weather permits. it will be put in place at once, if not, early in the spring.
 The matter of the colonial tea and loan exhibition was discussed at some length and various suggestions offered. It is designed to make this an exhibit of articles connected with the early. history of the town, as well as of other rare antiques. Tea will be served, with old-fashioned seed cakes, ana, those who serve will dress in colonial costumes. Other arrangements will be completed later. and duly announced.
 A pleasing feature of the afternoon was the singing of Mrs r. B. Granniss, who gave a spring solo, '.The Swal lows" in her usual artistic manner. At the roll call each member respond- ed with the name of Revolutionary general. and the number of duplicate names given was surprisingly few. A revolutionary salad followed, in which ten questions were given, the person answering the largest number correctly to receive prize. None ans swered all, but there were a numbe1 who answered nine, eight and seven questions, and lots were drawn for the three prizes, one for each group. Re treatments were seryed~E the close of the meeting. 4

FEARS WATER FAli
Winter Closing in With Rsssrvoss
 Supplies Short.

Hartford, Dec 6.-Water gl1ppIv
 throughout the state is at very low
 ebb and in many places alarm is feif
 Tor fear that the short supply win not be adequate to meet denanda. The Tali has been, as a whole. an unliglIb 4Iv
 dry one, the latter part especially. Az
 result, winter as it sets Tn finda rivers, brooks, reservoirs and wells much lower than usual
 While there is not, perhaps, the oc- casion for alarm in Hartford that some oIner places are experiencing, the fact remains that the water supDIv is IovV and that inconvenience is already beinp felt to some extent
 The Hartford Electric Light iCs, has already been inconvenienced fv the shortage of water in the Farlninpton river. This is the season when the de~ mands made upon lighting facilities are heaviest and when the lights are used earliest and for the longest hours. The company has too excellent faciIi- ties to be crippled by water ahartaQ Qe. as its steam turbine service can handle the demand The company was driven to this about 2 o'clock Saturday night. At that time the lights were very low and the company had to switch on from water to steam.
 1uC WHlGE III L0& HdTm1ngL0m TlWoN was low Saturday, very little flowing at the Tariffville station, until in the afternoon when there was q sudder, flow that was as welcome as unexpacf- ed. Officials of the company say that a quantity of ice moved down stream with the water and they think an ice jam may have held back the water for a while and then broken.
 In MeTiden the reservoirs are report ed as very low and grave alarm is felt over the condition. In East Hartford the condition is even worse and the East Hartford reservoir gives but tWenty-pound pressure, while the nor- nal pressure is triple that.
 The report comes from Stafford Springs that that section is suffering and that the staffordvilIe reservoir is said. by old residents, never to have been so low at this time of the year. This is the principal water supply for the mills along the east stream ana the manufacturers view the outlook with alarm.
 This is bad season of the year for water shortage for the reason that rains late in the season do not give the full effect, as the water rapidly runs off from the frozen ground and does not reach the fountain heads of tue springs. The reservoir shortage fA not the most serious phase Of the mat ter. for the frozen ground makes quick watershed when the rains do come. and the reservoirs dll while the springs receive little DenefE

ATHENA, APRIL 10, 1904

Not content with running the dem
ocratic convention, it transpires that
Colonel Wood, the Weston newspaper
magnate and astute politician, like
McManus, "butted in" and uncorked a
battery or two of stagnant oratory. 1t
is not known whether the court house
doors were unlocked or whether win
dows were used as medium of egress.
We will be charitable enough to give
the colonel the benefit Of the doubt, by
stating that the chairman and secretary
of the convention were still in their
places when the spell was over. The
speeches of McManus and Wood will go
on record as master gabfests- for
mer for its reeking brevity and dash,
enthused with Judge Fees wholesome
advice to consign the speaker to bath
tub, and the latter because Of it's rank
plagiaristic woof and warp. Openly
and above board, the Press makes the
accusation that the colonel hurled at his
defenseless audience, verbatim, flow-
cry oratorical effort constructed and de-
livered by Judge Knox in the "lang
syne" of Weston's palmy frontier days.
Just how he got possession of the Knox
manuscript which, with all its logic and
forensic magnetism, he memorized, we
have been unable to learn; but it is
quite probable that r. #. Johnson,
sage of Fairview, and coach and mentor
to the colonel, provided the means. No
wonder the Weston delegation saw no
silver lining in the political cloud. Such
flights OF oratory are enough. to bring
forth another county seat fight.

The Dalles-Times Mountaineer Sec
onds T. G. Hailey's nomination as fol-
lows:
"The Umatilla county democratic con-
vention last Tuesday passed resolutions
endorsing Hon. 7. G.. HALEY, present
prosecuting attorney Of the 9th judicial
district, for congressman from the Sec
ond district, and the state convention
when it meets in Portland next week
will act wisely il it ratifies the action of
the Umatilla county democrats and
makes Mr.. HALEY the nominee Of the
party in this district. For the state con-
vention taking this action there are
many reasons. Hepossesses every qualifi.
cation of legislator. He has clear,
logical mind, is a fluent speaker, an
active worker. He has peculiar faculty
cf winning friends and retaining them.
He lives in the section of the state from
which the congressman should be
chosen. The two matters of most i'm
portance to Oregon, that will require
attention at Washington the next few
years, are the improvement of the Col
umbia river and the reclamation of arid
lands. In these two important measures
Umatilla county is as much il not more
interested than any other county in the
state. The election of congressman
from that county would emphasize the
demands Of Eastern Oregon, calling to
them the attention of congress and the
departments. We say by all means let
Tom HALEY be nominated by the demo-
Gratis at Portland next week."

The republican congressional conven-
ton was rather a peculiarly when re-
rults were taken into consideration. In
this district Mr.. Williamson had clear
majority of the delegates, but when it
came to selecting chairman of the dis
trict committee it was found that
Moody had one-half the counties in the
district, SO it would appear that Mr.,
Williamson's victory was not such a
crushing one as the nomination he re-
ceived would indicate.
