The system of payment by the gov
eminent is very roundabout and
cumbersome one. If it were more sim
pie and direct such operations as those
pursued by Boyd, the latest CRATER to
be found out, could not obtain. Vouch-
ers for claims against the government
went through the regular channels,
reached his office and then were sent
to the bureau where the check in pay
ment was drawn. Instead of sending
the check direct to the claimant, 1t and
the voucher was returned to Boyd
and he forwarded the check. Thus
the door was open for his frauds. He
forwarded the checks, retained the
vouchers with the proper endorse
ments, erased the original amounts.
inserted others and again Ssent them
forward in the regular order for pay
ment, and again voucher and check
would be returned to him. This time
he did not forward the check, but
forged the endorsement Of the payee,
cashed the check and pocketed the
money. A simple, direct method
would have been to send the checks di-
rect to the payee, from the bureau
where it was drawn, and then to have
returned the voucher alone to Boyd,
and that voucher 80 treated as to
mark its payment in a way that could
not be erased by chemicals. Those
who have ever had any dealings with
the government have experienced ex-
IRENE difficulty of getting legitimate
claim allowed and paid. The red tape
is simply frightful and every excuse is
resorted to delay final payment, but
the operations Of Boyd discloses thar it
is much easier to get an illegitimate
claim allowed and paid than one that
is legitimate and regular. The banks
that cashed his checks with the forged
endorsements come in for consider
able amount of criticism. When man
begins deposit account with the
bank inquiry is always made as to his
occupation, yet there is evidence that
the banks here cashed checks drawn
by government officers in favor of
claimants in New Mexico and other,
far western sections of the county.

government, without any question,
when very little thought by the bank
officers would have at least raised
suspicion that all was not right

Democratic Candidate W. f. Thoms
outlined his policy boldly and plainly
after being nominated Friday night.
There is no mincing Of matters or hid.
ing behind former administrations. II
elected he promises to give the people
an administration that will be for
their interest. His declarations have
startled the republicans and already
they are resorting to questionable
methods and arguments to help their
own candidate. Candidate Thoms's
reference to municipal ownership will
will bring him many votes. He is no
radical on this question, but he be-
lieves that where it can be accom-
pli' Led for the. good of the thypsyers
It should be. No better argument
could be put forward than the one re-
ferred to by him, the city's water
plant. It is one Of the chief sources
Of revenue, and is handled by the r1u.
niclpallty in manner which makes it
a paying proposition. and It is-eyen in
timated that 1t might be made to pay
still better did the large users or wa
ter pay their share in the same ratio
that the small users do. There will be
no step backward If Mr. Thon,s is Civ
en- the reins OF government. He has
shown already that he is abreast of
the times by the policy outlined. The
men who are associated with him ON
the several tickets are mea in whom
the people Of Waterbury can rely. II
elected they will bring to tile various
positions honesty and good business
ability. What more is wanted: Let
us have a fair and free fight during
the week. with no mud singing. Let
every man vote for the men Of his
choice without intimidation by threats
or money.

The two parties are lined up now
for the coming election, the republi-
cans having nominated their tickets
Saturday night. Candidate Blakeslee
was silent as to what his policy would
be If elected. He intimated, however,
that he will pursue the policy of the
g. o. p. to put no one but republicans
on guard and to make as many life po-
sitions fer the members of that party
as possible. Neighbor Blakeslee is a
good republican and his party mas
thought well enough of him to place
him before the voters of Waterbury
for the highest office at hand, just at
this time, but judging from the NUT
terings heard here and there he will
not get the solid vote. He has been
too active in politics the past year or
two and consequently, like Mayor FL
ton, has made enemies in his own
party. From present indications he
will be defeated by about as many
votes as the present mayor had ma
jorfty over the democrats two years
ago.

that common carriers with public
franchises and rights of enormous val

fore Wall street strives by issuing adj
ditional securities to keep the rate Of
interest down to a point where the
complaint of the shipper as to excess
sive rates is offset by that of the
stockholder as to meager dividends.
But with the volume of freight and
passengers traffic constantly increasing
enormously, just as the golden flood
continues to pour into the Golfers Of
the insurance companies despite the
disclosures, even the wizards Of Wall
street cannot water the stocks rapidly
enough and they continue to climb
skyward.

STOPPED A CANNON BALL.
The Unusual Experience Of Soldier
Of the Ninth New Hampshire
3 - Regiment.

Gilman c. Parker Post, Winchendon
Mass, claims for one Of its members
that he is the only union soldier who
stopped rebel cannon ball, and YET
lives. His name is H. F. Partridge, Of
the Ninth New Hampshire, a quiet, I'm.
assuming little man, who weighs but 11C
pounds. He tells his story thus:
1T was the 18th Of June, 1864, one day
after the army had arrived in front Of
Petersburg.
''The place had no particular name;
1t was just in front of Petersburg We
were advancing on the enemy, but were
not in action ourselves. Meantime they
were sending their compliments in the
form Of shot and shell.
"A belt of woods lay between US. One
Of their shots flying through the woods
struck tree, and Topped off big limb.
This threw the ball to the ground,
where 1t tore hole big enough to bury
a horse in. Up into the air again; on a
piece; then down to the ground again.
by that time the ball had lost SO
much of its force that we could see it. 1t
was headed straight for our company.
Naturally we scattered In order to let 1t
pass through.
Somehow, lost sight OF 1t for about
half a second, l guess. got my eye on
it again and gave quick dodge, but the
dodge wasn't quite enough, and the ball
caught me on the bone Of the right hip.
The bone was pretty badly smashed, and
was laid up for three months. My abb
fdonisn was black and blue for some
itiTne. G9sd .s-rev
Il was knocked out, but the boys said
we both went down together. The boys
picked me up and picked the ball up, but
the ball they threw away. I'd give q
good deal to have 1t as souvenir to-
day.
ut was not shell, but a solid shot.
believe they called 1t 12-pounder. If
hadn't lodged as far us I did I'm afraid
1t would have torn me all to pieces. To
bounce as high as my hip 1t must have
had some force left In it.
"All the transportation wagons were
in use, so the boys carried me back five
miles on litter. Really never went
through more misery In my life.
ION September 10 was back again in
the ranks, but on the Both what should
happen, but minnie ball go clean
through me on the other side close to the
hip. This happened at at a place they
called Poplar Grove church, close to
Petersburg.
They said the ball went within q
quarter of an inch of the main artery.
Anyway 1t put me in the hospital until
the war was over, and | didn't get any
particular promotion for 1t. wish
had the ball that did that business. I
didn't get many souvenirs because lost
my gun there at Poplar Grove church.
Half a minute before the MIME ball
went through me another struck me
Just below the left knee. II only cut the
meat away, though, didn't even touch
the bone"
