LOOKS PROMISING FOR NEW MILFORD.
The New Haven road has expended
large sums Of money in the procuring
OF valuable real estate adjacent to
their station at New Milford. 1t is
reported that between SAC, 900 and $780,
900 have been so expended, the same
including the very palauial residence
OF Hon Nicholas Staub. While there
are various rumOrS as to what use the
New Haven people intend to put this
property to, there is no doubt in the
minds OF those in position to know
but what the terminal Of the Danbury
division will be at New Milford in
stead of Danbury. 1t is reported that
the runs now made by train crews
between Pittsfield and New York are
Zoo long. Short runs will be inaugu-
rated between New Milford and Pitts
field to connect with the fast express
trains to and from New York. Coal
bins will be maintained at Danbury as
formerly, as one bin at that point can
supply both the Highland and New
York divisions. Water will also be
purchased from the city in limited
quantities. Train crews that formerly
tied up at, and lived IN Danbury will
live IN New Milford, which will be the
end of their runs. New Milford is an
ideal spot In summer, noted for its
shady streets, beautiful residences.
ETC., while the surrounding country
abounds In fine roads and beautiful
drives. With fast express trains run
ming between New Milford and New
York 1t cannot fail to increase it's pop-
ulation, but will add greatly to it's al
ready large summer colony. Please
accept congratulations, New Milford.

wednesday, November "a, 1906.

Morning after morning The State
tells the people of the State and the
I country what a monstrous man is
Senator Tillman. 1t is now quarelling
with the Georgian, Of Atlanta, be-
cause forsooth that paper sees some
thing in Tllman oadmire. Wewould
not lecture The State, but We wish to
Z rise to ask unanimous consent thatwe
! Be given rest. We are tired OF Till
man editorials. There are more Inn
3 portant subjects that might engage
] the attention Of The States editor.
TflIman is to be our Senator for SIX
years more. He was elected by the
oYerwhelming vote Of the people OF
the State. Bis great ability no one
doubts, not even The State, and 1t il
beyond dispute that he is one OF the
foremost Democrats in the natfen,
with an influence in. the Senate,
second to no man from the South.
That he represents the hopes and
aspirations OF his people, that his SER
vices to this State has been great,
that he is alert to the interest Of all,
and watchful that this section OF the
country be given fair deal, even The
State, is sometimes, sufficiently fair
to concede.
True, he is not without faults. nor
Tree from errors of Judgment. Where
is the man, who is without them? We
are all weak creatures, always stumb-
ling, sometimes falling, full of sin,
and in constant danger of erring; but
We do not believe that Senator Till
man has any monopoly upon the sins
and short comings of South Carolina.
We suspect that there are those who do
not see things as does The State, who
do not look through the same political
eye-qlasses, nor drink from the same
spring Of information, nor are we In
spired with the same motive to crush
This man Tillman. That they are not
thus endowed with the same view Of
things as is The State, maybe is their
fault, and it is in the range OF posi-
bility that it is the fault Of The State.
We believe there is no man in public
life more conscientiously devoted to,
the service Of the people than is this
same man Tillman whom The State
delights to advertise to the world as
thief and man unfit to represent a
great State in the Senate. We will
not debate that point only wanted
to rise to confess to our WEAKNESS at
this everlasting nagging at one OF
the chosen representatives of the peo-
pie, and to beg our esteemed contem-
porary to give us rest, just q brief,
little rest. Please, won't you?

DO RATS HAVE SOULS?

In the course Of n lecture before the

perimenting with light rays, had found
about Ave octaves above violet form
Of wave similar to x-rayr, but dlfYer-
ent In some respects.
Under these rays living objects
throw shadow which exists as long
as there is life in the animate object.
A live rat was placed In hermetically
sealed tube and held In the path Of
the rays In front Of sensitixed screen.
40 long as the rat was alive II threw
a shadow. When II was killed 1t he.
came suddenly transparent after Ger
tain length of time.
Here" said the lecturer. there
was a strange phenomenon. At the
very Instant the rat became trans

shape was noticed to pass as II were
out Of and beyond the glass tube and
vanish ~ II passed upward on the
