coal operators of the Pittsburg district
on the question OF an advance in the
miners wage scale. According to 1.-The

A reason suggested for the failure to
act on the question of a wage advance
or refusal by the operators in this dis

FOURTH OF JULY
No Prospects of a Public Celebration
 This Year.

Although the Business Mems asso- ciation has not yet decided that 1t would give no celebration on the fourth of July, still as the members have not done anything at this late day, the general opinion Is that 1t will be up to the private individuals to make racket in the town on lnde- pendence day.
 A reporter talked with C.. A. Tenn pleton, president of the association on the subject to-day. Mir Templeton said that there had been nothing done as yet and as there are only few weeks left there is little chance of the asso- ciation taking up the matter this year. "Of course the members may do some thing about it at the next meeting. but it is extremely doubtful" he said.
 ..'The reason/why I am not in favor of the celebration this year is the dis content which the previous celebrations caused. Last year some of those who contributed to the fund were dissatls. fled with the fireworks display ana others were discontented because or where the exhibition was held. Conse- quently when at our last meeting some one asked if anything had been done in regard to celebration on the fourth I said no and hope nothing will be done."
 Thus it may be seen that the busi. ness men uqickly grew tired of en- deayoring to keep the people in this city on Independence day. The plan was started two years ago and contrl- buttons were received from many or the merchants around the town. The display was held up near Browns lot and was fairly good but there were many sore heads next day because of the manner in which the affair was run off.
 Last year both afternoon and night was devoted to entertaining the pe0- pie.
 During the afternoon track meet under the direction of Michael Thomp- son was conducted at the Driving park and proved very interesting, some good events being witnessed. Tn the even ing the fireworks display. which cost a few hundred dollars, was given on the grounds known as 'the flats" in the northwestern part of the city. The exhibition was all right, 1t may not have been satisfactory to some but K was good considering that it was only the second attempt of the association at giving celebrations. But it seems as if the knockers got busy with the re suit that the men who were interest," ed in fourth of July celebrations be- came discouraged and came to the con clusion that it would be wise to leave 1t along this year, consequently the people of Waterbury will he compelled to journey to Naugatuck this year to witness a fireworks exhibition.

The republicans are do 1 ing overtime in order to get hold ey- cry available recruit and the demo- crats are not letting grass grow un- der their feet, either. To be sure the coming senatorial contest may have something to do with the unusual activity noticeable in the democratic camp, but in any case good will come of 1t. Many will registrar for the primaries on account of this senator iaf sprinting match that would bother about 1t under ordinary circumstances and as a result the number of cleo tors eligible to vote at primaries will be increased considerably.

ON HUNT FOR MAD DOC
Two 0filcers Responded to Call From
 City Mills District.

Police Oficers Madden and McCar- thy were hurried to City Millh this morning in answer to call from that part of the town from somebody who claimed that mad dog was at large and the neighbors were afraid to open the doors while the animal was at large. Later on it was said the dog had grown tired fooling around the north end and was heading for Goshen. T9e officers with all possible speed and af- ter a long chase they caught up with the canine and called upon 1t to halt, but 1t paid no attention to the com mand. and then they opened rfied upon the brute and kept up the fusilade ull- til trouble-maker laid low. When the result of the battle became known the women folks stepped out onto the yer andas and congratulated each other on their marvellous escape.
