 No Special Train.
 Last year when Naugatuck went to Bridgeport to play the Acorns a spe- cial train was run, but as the game is to be played on Sunday this year there will be no special train on account of the law forbidding the running of spe- cfals on Sunday. A large number of the roOters are going by the way of Cheshire and New Haven by trolley.

 Morris Quirk of Washington street was severely injured yesterday after noon by coming in contact with James Coen's goat on City Hill street. NIT ouirk was in the employ of Mir Coen on his farm at the time. and his being unaware of the goats presence fin the field WAS the cause of the conflict in which Mir Quirk was injured.

lT seems almost impossible that
Colorado's congressional delega-
ton will refuse to stand by the
President in his attempt to secure
meritorious railroad legislation,
but unless all signs tail that will
be the case. How they expect to
save their regulations with Colora-
do people is a mystery. This
state is one of those that suffers
most from railroad discrimination
and it would seem that its re-
presentatives would be among the

money to allow one organization to do
what they please with. A franchise tax
graded up in any state where the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation does bust
ness, so that on billion dollars of cap
ital they would pay ten per cent tax,
would have wholesome effect in caus
ing the dissolution of the combination
or the restriction of the capital it can
command for evil as we'll as good, with
in more moderate limits.
A little more than year ago, in
public address in this county, l said:
I've live in an age of corruption. Brib-
cry stalks boldly in public Places A
number of fellows Immediately ducked
and lodged as though someone was
throwing at them. Monopoly is the
father of greed, and greed is the father
of graft. You never heard of man or
partnership of men or of corporation
that, by steady work and patient toll,
built up business, and at the same
time supported lobbyist and opened
an account in their ledger with a "col-
ruption fund.-
If there were no monopolies, there
would be few lobbyists. If there were
no lobbyists, there would be few cor
rupt men in our legislative tribunals
| If you look about you will see the work
of the lobbyist and the corruptionist.
You will find him in Washington in CON
nection with the railroad rate question.
In Albany against the canal; in Harris
burg against everything not sanctioned
by the Pennsylvania Railroad; in Hart
ford working in the interests of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad combination: in Providence the
trolley monopoly; in Missouri the bak-
ing powder monopoly. 1t is a source of
great pride to us that in our own splen-
did state no faint of corruption attaches
to it's officials.
The question of government control
and regulation of freight rates is closely
related to what | have just said rela-
tive TO trusts, and has recently become
prolific theme of discussion. That
the people in almost every section OF
our country ar, the victims of discrim-
nation and secret rebates, and exorbi-
tant freight charges, no man of veracity
will deny. President Roosevelt has de-
handed that the Inter State Commits

monopoly can thrive only as cor
poration. A corporation is the creature
OF the state, and the authority in the
state is the people. The people, there
fore, have complete control over cor
porations. Combinations that are dan
gerous to the public may be abso-
lutely prohibited, but the difficulty is to
so draft our laws as to restrict the OBJ
jectionable combination and at the same
time not interfere with legitimate bust
ness enterprise.
Two years ago, in addressing you, l
suggested an amendment to the consti-
tuition which would enable the general
government to cross over the state
lines for the regulation of corporations
during an interstate business. In adj
dition, would advocate the creation of
a tribunal, under government super
vision, for the granting of franchises to
such corporations, requiring sworn
statement of the amount of capital and
requiring that amount to be actually
paid in. 1t should be unlawful for any
corporation to carry dollar Of water
ed stock. Those of you who have stud
lad the report of the last census on this
subject will remember that, Of the in

A Warming to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summersmonths to guard against
bowel trouble. AS rule it is only
necessary to give child dose Of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the,
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil and see
that it is fresh, asSrancid oil nauseates
and has tendency to grippe. If it does
not check the bowels give Chamber
lian's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then dose of castor oil
and the disease may be checked in it's
incipiency ands all danger avoided.
The castor oil and this remedy should
be procured atsonce and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first indica-
tions of anyRbowcl trouble appears
This is sthe most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in case of

Those who saw BILLY" Halls show at
Glenwood, Mo-, yesterday say that it
was good one and that Billy kept his
circus together to the end in good
shape. The performers were given two
weeks notice that the season was to
close but only one or two attractions
left him. The parade is reported to
have been equal to that of the Fore
paugh-Sells Show. Circus men were
there with offers to buy or lease the
show but Billy turned deaf ear to
all Of them and will winter at Lancas-
tor, his home own, where the circus
was hauled in the wagons. Billy is
scheduled to be in Centerville Septem-

have broken even on his first season

GOOD NEWS.
Many Leon Readers Have Heard 1t
and profited Thereby.

"Good news travels FAST" and the
thousands Of bad back sufferers in Leon
are glad to learn that prompt relief is
within their reach. Many lame, weak
aching back is bad no more, thanks to
Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are
telling the good news of their ex-
perience with the Old Quaker Remedy.
Here is an example worth reading:
John H. Black, farmer, living on the
State Road, between Bentonville and
Promise, Corydon, says: "My accustom-
ed energy kept ebbing during the
winter of 1901 and this condition con-
tinued during the summer of 1902. 1
knew what caused it but how to check
it or stop it, was mystery. The dull
grumbling pain across the small of nay
back added to the high color of the
kidney secretions and their too fre-
quent action especially during the
night plainly proved to me that my
kidneys required my attention. l notic-
ed an advertisement in our paper and
the high recommendation given that
remedy induced me to procure a box.
followed up the treatment by taking
a second and then third. 1t cured the
trouble entirely"
Plenty more proof like this from Leon
people. Call at Van Werden's drug
store and ask what the customers re-
port,
