GILLETTE GETS PLACE
Appointed Well Known Man to
 Fill L. F. Roofs Old Place.

Judge George H. Cowell of the dis trict court did not keep the members of the bar long in suspense as to who should succeed the late Linford F. Root as clerk of the court, for he named the assistant clerk and MT Roots best friend, William M. Gil- lette for the place this morning. The appointment was to the satisfaction of the members of the bar and par ticularly so the republicans for it created three vacancies to be filled assistant clerkship, court messenger and constable, not to mention agent for the humane society, a post of honor more than profit.
 MT Gillette ability to fill the place was not questioned for he is thoroughly familiar with the work having filled the office of assistant clerk for over fourteen years. The salary of clerk is $3,500 year. Un- til quite recently the holder depended upon fees which amounted to about $4,000 a year.
 A'Ai NAiiSClC o IO III lllC pldCS aspirants for office on the trot The post of assistant clerk pays about $1,- 900, $500 for work during the ses- sions of the criminal side of the dis trict court, and about the same amount for civil work, and the money is paid by the clerk. The office of court messenger pays $700 a year.
 Everybody seems to favor the ap- pointment of Attorney Joseph H. Reid for the assistant clerkship on account Of the burdens and expense he has borne in his partys battles where he had no chance whatever of win ming, and it is very likely that he will get it. Harold B. Snow is said to be a candidate for the place.
 It is believed that MT Gillette will bequeath his constableship to ex-Con- stable James F. Lunny, who went down in the recent election.
 The speedy appointment of MT Roots successor was considered to be a good move. MT Gillette received the congratulations of the bar afte court adjourned.

KILLOUGHEY ESTATE
New Haven Man Says He is Only
 Direct Relative.

A most surprising situation de-
 veloped in the probate court to-day
 on the hearing of the estate of the
 late Mrs Catherine Killoughey, who
 lived on James street. Mrs Kill loughey left all of her estate about
 $7,000, consisting of few houses in
 the Brooklyn district to the parish of St Patrick in the name of the pastor
 Rev Joseph M. Gleeson and his suc- cessor. It was generally supposed
 that she had no immediate relatives further than sister, Mrs Mary Phelan, who lived near her on James street, and a half brother, Daniel Hogan of New Haven. But to the absolute astonishment of those con- cerned when the hearing began to- day before Judge Lowe in the pro- bate court Attorney Hayden of New himself as representative of MT Hogan, and claimed him to be the only direct relative of the deceased Attorney James M. Lynch, who ap- peared for the estate, and Attorneys Joseph H. Reid and U. G. Church for Mrs Phelan, were almost knocked off their feet with aStonishment, for their client had informed them and fur nished good proof of her claim, that she was the only living direct rela- tive of Mrs Killoughey, her reputed sister.
 MT Hogan, not only denied this, but insisted he was the only direct rela- tive living and that Mrs Killoughey had left two half sisters and a half brother in Ireland. With such con- f1icting statements, Judge Lowe con- sidered it advisable to adjourn the hearing a week and accordingly did so, presumably to give the lawyers time to prepare their respective claims in proper form.
 It was stated after the hearing that Mrs Phelan, about the time of the breaking out of the civil war, went west and got married. How long she remained there is not definitely known, but it is presumed that she did not come east until after peace had been restored when she settled in Meriden. It was while living there, it 1 is claimed, that she sent for her al- legged sister, Mrs Killoughey in Ire : land, and after both had become widows they came over the mountain and cast their lot in Waterbury. It | is we'll known fact that Mrs Phelan | was always considered Mrs Killough- ey's sister.
 It is not definitely stated, but it is believed that the will shall be con- tested, else lawyers would not have appeared in it at this early stage in | the case for the reputed relatives of the testator.

GAME WARDEN SHOT
Daniel Edwards of Beacon Falls
 Taken Rome in Ambulance.

Daniel M. Edwards of Beacon Falls game warden, was shot yesterday by huntsmen in the woods near his home and is in a critical condition
 With Constable Frederick Kirk the warden was going through the woods when they heard shots fired. In order to get a line on the shooters the constable and the warden separated. A few minutes later Edwards saw two men and with a view to getting nearer to them he asked which was the most direct route to Naugatuck and for a reply he received dose of buckshot, the stranger aiming at him and giving him the contents of the gun. The warden fell to the ground but recovered quickly and fired shot from his pistol, but it went wide of the mark. The stranger took anotb CT shot at Edwards, this time riddling his neck and face. After a good deal of effort the warden succeeded in finding his way to the residence of William Seeley, from where he was removed to his home in an am- bulance.
 Meanwhile Constable Kirk, who had taken an opposite direction from that of the warden, saw two men through the brushwood They had guns and when he called upon them to halt they did so, but be- fore he could reach them they start ed off and escaped. He got good look at them, though, and later on he had warrants sworn out for the arrest of Raphael Bronzo and Frank Carroto. The men were taken tc Beacon Falls station and locked up.
 Deputy Coroner Makepeace of this city was notified and went down there and made an investigation.

LacIede Loses TO BrookfieId, is to 0

The Laclede high school football
team was defeated by the Brook
field high school team at Connor's S
park last Saturday afternoon in a
well-played game. Neither side
had much advantage in the first
half and although the ball was
within yard of both goal lines,
neither side could score. The Sec
ond half was more favorable for
the visitors and by long runs and
forward passes they were able to
score three times in the first ten
minutes of play. At this point
the home team took large dose of
ginger and began to play the game,
and the ball did not stray far into
Laclede's territory during the rest
of the game. The score was Is to
0. A practice game of basket ball
between two teams of girls follow
ed and was greatly enjoyed.

Linn County for Local Option

In the local option election held
in this county outside of Brookfeld
and Marceline last Saturday the
voters declared their objection to
the licensed saloon by over one
thousand majority on a total vote
of 1898. The campaign was an ex-
ceedingly quiet one, but the voters
knew what they wanted, or perhaps
a better way to express it would be
to say they knew what they didn't
want, and went to the polls and
voted the saloons out of business.
Below is the vote by precincts:

Some Evening Reveries.

receive friend, they cannot carry
. on the daily intercourse of the fam
lily, without suspecting some offense
is designed. They are touchy as
hair triggers. Ii they meet an ac-
qualntance on the street who
,, happens to be pre-occupied with
!. business they attribute his abstrac-
ton to some motive personal to
themselves, and take umbrage ac-
cordingly. They lay ON others the
fault of their own irritability. A
tit OF indigestion makes them see
impertinance in everybody they
come in contact with. Innocent
persons who never dreamed of Civ
ing offense, are, by momentary tao
iturnity, mistaken for an insult.
To say the least, the habit is unfor-
tunate. It is far wiser to take
the more charitable view of our fell
low beings, and not suppose a
slight is intended unless the neg
lect is open and direct. After all,
life takes it's hue, in a great degree,
from the color Of our mind. If we
are frank and generous, the world
treats us kindly. If, ON the con-
trary, we are suspicious, men learn
to be cold and cautious to us. Let
a person get the reputation of being
touchy, and everybody. is under
more or less restraint; and in this
way the chances of an imaginary
offense are vastly increased. People
who fire up easily miss much hap
piness. Their jaundiced tempers :
destroy their own comfort as we'll
as that of their friends. They have
always some fancied slight to brood
over.
There are people who have a
perpetual faculty for detecting evil
or the appearance Of evil in every +
mans character. They have IA =
