The Naugatuck lodge of Elks will entertain the district deputy at their meeting this evening in Pythian hall. A banquet will follow the meeting. Members of Court Naugatuck, h. dependent Order of Foresters. are re- quested to attend the meet:,g this evening at o'clock in hibernian hall.
 John M. Sweeney is named as ex- ecutor in the will of the late Sarah Gerrity and Attorney Kennedy has been retained by the heirs to contest the will.
 There was a large attendance last evening at the meeting of Teutonia lodge, N. E. o. P. Some of the grand officers were present. A social session was held after the meeting.
 Victor Norling, who has been laid up at his home on Ward street since Sunday with sore foot. is able to be out again. He stepped on nail some days ago and was threatened with blood poisoning.
 A reception was rendered Austin P. Murphy of Schenectady. N. Y., in the old Lenox theater by a number of his friends. Mir Murphy is mem- Der of the graduating class of 'S4 of the Naugatuck High school and on the day of graduation he was pre- scented with handsome class pin, the presentation speech being made by Elias Tinker During the evening supper was served and a program consisting of songs, recitations, etc, was rendered.
 This evening the clerks in W. F. Brennan's Church street store jour- ney to Torrington to play basketball against the employees of the Torring- ton branch of the establishment The losers of the game are to pay for turkey supper at Torrington hos telry. The Torrington clerks are the challengers and made strenuous ef- forts to have the game postponed un- til after New Years, but the local clerks insisted upon carrying out the original plan. The locals will carry John Ryan for center. Fred Happy and Edward Nixon as guards. and John O'Brien, James Adamson and Emmet Nixon as forwards. The clerks in the Torrington branch are James Campbell, William Glynn, Martin Anderson. James Gilson, Edward Cos tello and Bert Thompson.
 The probate court had busy ses- sion yesterday. No less than four cases were scheduled for disposal. The first case was that of Fred Will son, probationer who last week was put in the hands of the probation officer. Mrs Wilson testified that a year ago he had over $400 in the bank and had drawn most of 1t; that he was unable to keep from liquor. Wilson on being sworn said that he had given his wife $S0 out of every $100 he had drawn. Questioned in regard to the disposal of the last $100 he said $S0 had gone to Mrs Wilson and the $20 he had paid for saloon bills and drink. The court decided that he needed conservator and appointed Rufus w. Lewis in that capacity. Later as judge of the borough court he gave Wilson the choice of going to the Keeley cure or jail and Wilson chose thirty days in jail. He was accordingly committed.

 "You are insulting. sir. l don't wish ot have any further argument with | you. Mir. Walker, will you please step this way? Did you sell this man a shirt?"

 Well. what's the matter with 1t, anyway asked the proprietor.
 Tt isn't satisfactory, that's all. You advertise that you cheerfully refund money when goods are not satisfac. tory. Why should it be necessary to have all this argument? The shirt is not satisfactory. I want my money back. Now. will you cheerfully re- turn it?"

 "No: l am an altruist. I believe in spreading cheer wherever may. When I read your advertisement I came here and purposely bought a shirt that was two sizes too large for me, so that might bring it back and give you a chance to cheerfully re- turn my money. I think every man owes it to his fellow men to make them cheerful whenever and however he may. see that you are not in- clined to be cheerful. and am sorry. I will. therefore. keep the shirt and bid you good-day."
 That man ought to be looked after by the police" said the head of the shirt department.

Pope's Skull.

The skull of Alexander Pope. the poet and satirist. is in the private col lection of phrenologist. During some alterations in the churchyard where Pope was buried 1t was neces- sary to move his coffin, which was opened at the time to ascertain the state of his remains. By bribing the sexton of the church possession of the poets skull was obtained for the night, and in the morning a different skull was returned instead. The cost of the skull. including the bribe. was 90 pounds.-The Sunday Magazine.

Tight Little RhOdy's Fight.

While contests are being carried on
in states great in population, like
New York, and states great in area,
like Texas, it should not be overlook
ed that a contest is being waged in
another state neither great in popu-
lation nor in area, which overtops
them both. The battle in Rhode
Island involves the solution Of the
question whether Nelson ". Aldrich
shall hereafter have one vote in the
United States senate or whether he
shall continue to cast two.
If Wetmore or Colt is elected, AL
drich will have two votes as before.
If Colt succeeds Wetmore, Aldrich
will have to change his rubber stamp,
that is all. But there is another can
didate in the field whose election
would mean that the stamp would be
retired from business. That candi-
date is Colonel Robert Hale Ives

stated before, any food supplied in
this sudden manner would do harm.
1t would have paid this individual
handsomely to have taken ten days or
two weeks to accuStOm these hogs to
green corn. If they were worked up
gradually there would be little danger
from putting them on a full feed
after month or five weeks of feed
ing. If the hogs referred to had
never been cheated up" as was the
case by this sudden supplying of corn,
the probabilities are that the cholera
germ would never have been propa-
gated in the herd. We do not say
that the healthy, vigorous animal
will not take cholera, but we do say
that the disease is not so liable to
break out in health herd as it is
in one that is fed spasmodically, as
was the case in this instance.
What is true in the case of hogs is
also true with cattle and even horses.
Low feeding is much better than high
feeding in this instance, although at
all times this paper is an exponent of
liberal feeding. Even should one es-
cape disease at the end of one or two
months feeding, much better results
will be brought about if few weeks
are taken to get the animals on feed
than if they are suddenly put on a
new and heavy ration. The time lost
in the start will be more than made
up in the end, and there is the addi-
tional advantage of not running the
same risk of propagating a contagious
| disease in the herd.

Points by Beveridge.

Senator Beveridge addressed great
audience at Minneapolis last Satur
day and from that speech we gather
the following points:
The republican party has been the
guiding force in every step of Ameri
cas- marvellous progress.
Yet we are not content that our
civilization shall be measured by dol
lars; it must be measured by justice.
The railroad rate law may not sue
ceed at first, but it has established a
principle.
The people do not want to own the
railways. They want to own nothing
publicly which they do not have to
own in self defense.
The people can take the railways
out of politics by sending every cor
rupt lobbyist and lawbreaker to Jail,
and by defeating at the polls any man
nominated by corrupt influence.
No great business is any longer

Goddard, nominated by the indepen-
dent republicans and indorsed by the
democrats. Colonel Goddard is run
ming on a platform which declares:
First-The machine control of the
republican party must be thrust aside
before any good can be accomplished;
Second-Under the present pOliti-
Cal conditions a species of despotism
exists degrading to all right-minded
citizens of the state;
Third-It is base calumny to say
that corruption is general among the
people of Rhode Island, but the gov
erning political machine is certainly
corrupt;
Fourth-The principle Of protection
to home Industries is sound and wise,
but an immediate revision of the
tariff schedules is demanded in line
with the recently announced princi-
pies of the Massachusetts, tariff re-
formers.
On this platform and without the
use of dollar in bribery or corrup-
tion, Colonel Goddard proposes to &c
before the people Of Rhode Island,
and test the question whether he did
them an injustice when he said it
was a base calumny that they were
corrupt.
Lincoln Stcffens said the whole peo-
pie of Rhode Island we're corrupt and
proud of it. The continued ascend.
ancy of Aldrich in the state is cor.
roborative detail adding an air OF
truth to Steffens' unsupported state
ment. If republican Of Colonel
Goddard's character on a decent re-
publican platform cannot dislodge
the boss of Rhode Island, the burden
of proof will be removed from the
shoulders of Steffens to those OF
Rhode Island.-Minneapolis Journal.

Common Sense in the Animal's
Ration.

Ration.
Disease germs are responsible for
many of the ills which animal flesh is
heir to. There are many forms Of
ailment, however, due to germs that
might be warded off if common sense
we're larger ingredient in the ra
tiOn.
The subject is called to mind at
this time by recent experience of an
extensive swine breeder. This indi-
vidual had a bunch of 200 growing
pigs that were being taken through
the summer largely on grass, togeth-
er with small amount of mill feed
daily. After time he grew tired of
continually paying out money for mill
feed, and decided that his corn was
ready to feed. He therefore turned
into one of his fields and snapped out
d large-sized load Of corn and shOveled
it over the fence into the pasture
where the hogs were running. The
next day a similar dose was given,
and this was kept up for some time
afterwards.
What was the result? In this in
stance it cost the man practically his
entire herd. The new corn threw
their blood out of condition, thus
laying the best possible foundation
for disease germs to get in their work.
There was cholera in the neighbor-
hood, but as this was an especially
thrifty bunch before they were corn
ed it was not feared in this instance.
Many of the pigs were afflicted at
first with high fever, and later on
genuine cholera set in and did Its
deadly work. They were too young
and too lean to market, so that the
healthy animals could not be disposed
of, and the bunch today mum bers less
than ten.
In the opinion of this breeder the
new corn was the cause of all the
trouble. 1t is not a matter of sur
prise that green corn does not stand
very high in the esteem of the ave-
rage swine breeder, but we are frank
to say that it has been it's abuse more
than it's use that has brought it into
disfavor. AS sudden a change of food
as the one described above, no matter
of what it is composed, is enough tc
throw any farm animal out of condi-
tion. Corn is naturally somewhat
heating and is possibly a little more
liable to do damage than foods richer
in fesh-forming constituents; but, as

The Size OF the Victory.

The Sioux Falls Press reviews the
political victory in the state in a
modest way and says:
The results of the recent South Da-
kota convention as figured out at the
state committee headquarters, give
to Senator Gamble rs of the l32
members of the legislature. That
number will vote for reelection, pro-
vided the republicans succeed in all
the legislative districts representing
the ll5 nominees of that party who
are counted for him.
Ten of the II candidates counted in
opposition to Mr.. Gamble will repre-
sent the counties of Minnchaha and
Day. 1t is probable that the other
seven will 90 to him and that the two
counties named will contain all the
adverse votes.
There has been no question about
the reelection of Senator Gamble
since the state republican convention
issued its instructions in his behalf to
the partisans who are to become re-
publican members Of the legislature.
1t was the disposition and the in
tention Of the old machine to secure
legislative strength sufficient to over
turn the convention instructions, and
to do this in the interest of Senator
Kittredge two years hence, but there
has been at no time since the state
convention a possibility that the ma
chine would succeed.
What was known as the insurgent
faction, and now the party organiza-
tion, has gained strength steadily
since the convention declaration, and
the machine has now left only the
weak following of two counties.
The machine having made the fight
against the party organization in be-
half of Mr.. Kittredge and failed, he
passes out Of party consideration as a
senatorial possibility in 1908 and the
party will begin to concentrate its at
tentiOn on some other man.
On the other issues favored by the
republican state nventiOn-the prl-
mary election, anti-pasS, ETC., the Or
ganzatiOn has won in it's legislative
selections in both houses by three to
one on the face of the returns.
With the organization of the legis-
lature, the strength of the party will
increase, the opposing faction finding
it useless to keep up fight against
a majority and thus jeopardize local
interests.
The newspapers of the machine,
since the conventions of the 18th
inst, have been announcing their 10y
atty to the victorious organization.
declaring, however, that the machine
will exist and do battle as a faction of
the future, to save the state from be-
ing turned over to Bryan two years
hence.
An excuse for existence is always
necessary in the case Of party fac
tion. But the regular organization
of the party will be likely to resent
the inference that it is to eSpOuse the
cause of Bryan in 1908. 1t will be-
lieve itself capable of taking care of
all party interests.

Twelve trains managed to get into
Canton one night last week, or in
other words were part in and part
out on the prairie. When the night
accommodation arrived from the east,
it was found that this train could not
get to the depot. so a train of cars
was hauled down to Beloit in order
to make room. The railroad has
plenty of room for sidetracks but
nothing is done.
