MEDICAL INSPECTION.
Aau Who Thinks Inspectors Should
 Prescribe fer School Ch 'ldren.

Talking about medical inspection in
 the schools to-day. q man whose child
 took home the information that she had
 aE ailment that needed attention said
 that he thinks it wouldn't be anythine
 more than people have a right to eX-
 pect if school children found suffering
 from diseases of one kind and another
 were provided with recipes to help
 them out of the trouble instead of sim.
 ply telling their parents all about it and recommending that the family phy-
 siclaD be called in. He considered it
 r"illipg. .pgore than another way of
 nak!ng money for the doctors and con- sidered it strange law which con- pel' the public to pay professional men
 for going through the school and pick.
 m" out pupils that need medical aid
 anG sending them home without a scrap of information as to the kind of remedy that should be applied. He said that the people are paying for medical inspection and that whenever q case is discovered that needs treat ment the medical inspectors should attend to it. "Oh. pshaw.' remarked man who listened to the gentleman's address. that would he unprOfessonal. If things should he done that way the medical inspection in the schools would be great money saving scheme for the taxpayers and serious blow to tb. doctors. and this is something nO- Tod! need look for in this age when everybody is trying to fasten himself onto the peoples backs not only while he is of some use to the public bnf as long as he lives" Then both men commenced comparing notes and after q long chat they finally came to the conclusion that things will have to be worse before they will commence to improve. One of the men declared ti,at it was as true as that the sun rises in the east that at no distant day all the laws now being passed which furnish some people living at the ex- ptnst of their neighbors will he re- pealed. because small towns cannot af. ford tO carry such burdens.

WILD GOOSE CHASE.
O6.csr hatasr After Men Who Got
 Into Brawl Ysstsrday.

| Yesterday afternoon crowd of men tostled each other on the sidewalk Op- pOsite Benedict x Burnham's, ap- parently in a good-natured way. hut 1t seems they got their back up later and were it not for the presence of an officer a big fight would have taken place.
 The row did get started and was in a fair way to result seriously when Officer Wagner hove into sight just as Joe Linen of Riverside street had re- ceived a hand and foot, and fell into the street shouting that he was killed. The fellow that hit the prostrate man took to his heels and the officer be- lievlng that the fellow who was SpraWling ill the street was mortally wounded, left him to the care of his friends and pursued his assailant up South Main street and then com menced the most exciting chase ever seen in Waterbury, The man had d good start of the officer and to make things worse he was fleet footed and covered ground like greyhound. Officer Wagner can strike a pretty good gait, toe, and although the little brown faced man moved his feet with remarkable rapidity the policeman gained on him and was at his heels when he got under cover of Wards flats. A search was commenced for him but at this juncture it became known that the man who got knocked down was not seriously injured and then it was decided to give up the hunt. Those who witnessed the race say it was quite interesting. The route was along South Main street to .'ewelry street. thence along Jcwelry to the passway along the Naugatnck river and under the railroad bridge to Bank street and across the way into the flats. The way was slippery and at times both pursuer and pursued came dangerously near coming down. It was evident that the officer believed he was pursuing a murderer and judg- Ing by the frantic efforts of the man to get to place of safety he was con fident that the thrust he had given the Lithuanian put the breath out of him and that he was making I run for his life. The officer shouted to people on the way to stop the man. but nobody needed his request. On the contrary everybody gave him wide berth.
 The officer was quite close to the fellow when he rushed into Wards Flats and entered side door. Officer Wagner entered the same apartment without rapping, and the fugitive sus- pecting something of the kind, opened window and was in the act of drop- ping down onto a tin roof. when the officer made a. plunge for him. At this stage of the proceedings couple of extra policemen hove in sight and be- tween the whole of them they had the man we'll hemmed in when they learn cd that the man was more scared than hurt and it was concluded not to con- tinue explorations through the build- ing.

or tear which fits over the dent in
the skull. Burned shoe soles, with
new hob nails, were found in the
fire.
The hat with the matches in the
band and the hob nails and soles,
lead many to believe that the unfor-
tunate man is an old miner living
some miles from Glendale, who is in
the habit of carrying matches in his
hatband, and who recently had his
shoes newly hob nailed. IT has not
been learned yet. however. that the
old man is missing. Numerous blood
stains on the railroad track show
traces of struggle. After the muir

thrown over fence and laid between
two logs. the body covered with bark
and wood and burned to a cinder.

BUNKERs GETS FIVE YEARS.
California Legislator .Affets a Flip
pant DemeanOr.

Sacramento. Cal, May 4.-When
ex-State Senator Bunkers, convicted
of accepting a bribe, was yesterday
sentenced by Judge Hart, the court
scene was impressive. Bunkers, who
had laughed through the trial, had
at last reached the painful realization
that all is not beer and skittles for
bribe-taking legislators. He was pale
and detected His wife sat beside
him, her hand clutching his. On the
knee nestled his 4-year-old son fast
asleep.
After overruling counsels motion
for new trial, the court said: 81 have
watched your conduct during this
trial and 1 know that you have not
realized the serious predicament in
which you now find yourself. This
was apparent from your flippant
manner when on the witness stand,
and for that matter throughout the
trial. The judgment is that you be
imprisoned in San Quentin prison for
period of five years."
Bunker's wife wept bitterly, but
the man affected a laugh as he was
led back to prison.

That the city of Pendleton, with
over 5000 people and several millions
of wealth cannot afford to spend
$14OO upon street improvement, now
that the crime of gambling Is being
prohibited in answer to the demands
of decent people, was virtually as
serted at the meeting of the city
council last night. During the meet
ing a report was submitted by the
special committee, j. r. Dickson,
chairman, recommending that the
matter of macadamizing the streets
be indefinitely postponed, and the re-
port was adopted.
Like a flash came the proceeding
that promises to give the city muddy
streets for another year. Before
those present scarcely knew what
was up, the report of the committee
was read and within 80 seconds was
adopted When the nature of the
move was seen, Councilman Sewall'
hotly protested against the action.
and declared that such a step was a
statement to the gamblers that the
town could not do without them. He
reminded the council that but small
portion of the expense would fall up
on the city, and that the property
owners were willing to pay for their
part of the improvement. However,
a majority stood obdurate, and there
was no hope of resembling the vote.
One member remarked that another
proposition" was being considered,
though nothing more was said about
it, and what the proposition is re-
mains deep mystery.
Councilman Dickson gave the cost
of the roller and rock crusher as a
reason for postponing the work, which
machinery has long been regarded
as needed by the city and would be
used for many years, so could not be
counted as an expense of the present
Improvement should any be under
taken.
