Branford, Aug. 13-The Rev. Joseph D. Danielson, pastor of the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Zion church of Waterbury, has rendered his resigna- tion to take effect as soon as the prop CT arrangements can be completed. Mir. Danielson has conducted most suc- oessful pastorate for the past four years in that ciy, and it is with ex- treme regret that the church has felt itself under the necessity of accepting the resignation.
 No reasons for the resignation were given, but 1t is understood that a can from the Swedish Lutheran church at Branford, one of the most successful and progressive clutches among the Lutheran denomination in the state, is responsible for the resignation.

SEgRET SERVICE l HUNTS COUNTERFEIT
Rounds Up Last of Solder Half Dollars Made in
 Hartford.
WORK OF INSPECTOR WALL
Identified With Important Gases of Counterfeiting-
 Hard to Trace Coins.

Hartford, Aug l3,-Ihe last or the fourteen counterfeit (solder) half dol lars which originated from the hands of Keron Clemens of this city were rounded up," to-day, by Special Agent Wall of the, United States secret ser- vice. The work of getting the coins to- gether was long and tedious job, as a great many of the stores of the city had to be visited and the money exam ined The last coin was found in the bootblack stand at No. 100 Asylum street.
 i In his efforts in getting the "Clem- discovered and took into his possess sion about $6 in coins which were the product of counterfeiters other and far more skilled in the business than was Clemens. When the latter was shown one of the 'good' counterfeits made by other hands, he was obliged to admit that his non- -tingling little sol- der halves were certainly pretty poor l lot.
 When Uncle Sam discovers that any individual, or the cash drawer of any establishment, possesses any spur tous coins one of his men has the right to take the same at the loss of the own- CT, so all should beware if their eye- sight is poor and keep their spectacles well polished to see that no coins oth- CT than those turned out in Uncle San's mint come his way, unless he does not mind having them fall into the hands of a Secret service' man. This also holds true of souvenir post cards imported Ito this country bearing the engrossed postage on them Great quantities of these come under the grasp of Uncle Sam's giant hand, and once he has his clutch on them, they are as secure in his keeping as if they were between the jaws of huge iron wise
 Many persons are hesitant and some indignant about giving up coins or other fictitious property of this kind, which they have in their possession. A case was told to a reporter in which a person refused to hand over a coin when he found that he was not to be repaid by a good article. He was told by the governments servant that if he would not give over the coin he would take him along with him. The person then clearly saw that he had better comply with the request of the agent.
 Special Agent Wall has been iden- tified with several important counter felt cases, one of which was the fa- nous Boynton case. In this he act ed as a roper for about three months among the promoters of the affair in New York. He Is one of Uncle Sam's experts in the secret service.

Summer
 Chances

The ever-recurring prob lem of how to make room for the incoming new goods con- fronts us. The only way we know is to so reduce prices as to make our present stock walk right off the floor, and this is what we are doing.
 Summer time certainly affords the bargain hunter a grand opportunity.
 Odd pieces and full sets in every department away un- der price.
 An entire outfit can be purchased now at a little more than half the busy season price, and this is still more true of odd single pieces.

Practical Gardening.

In laying out small garden it is
impossible to avoid straight lines.
Wherever possible, however, block
effects ought to be avoided. If there
is a grass plot the very worst treat
ment is to put beds or plants here
and there all over it, as is so often
the case. Put your flower beds at
the corners or near the Sides and let
a space of restful green grass beofre
them set them off to best advantage.
l most certainly advise the use OF
hardy perennials, for the reason
that they practically take care of
themselves, and after dying down
in the fall, thsy spring into life
in the following spring with an
increased growth; thus the growth
is continual. If ANIMALS are used,
the planting is required to take
place each year, and the so wing,
which must necessarily take place
in the spring, does not reach its
full growth till the autumn, when

Inside the edg cling, which should
be we'll clipped, alyssum can be
well planted, for it is low in stature
white in color and profusc in
growth. In these beds, within the
confines of grassed edge, may be
planted perennials, such as astcrs
in colors of blue, pink and white,
phlox, foxglove, snapdr agon, column
bine, double English daisy, mari
colds and golden glow-one short
in growth, and the other tall, both
presenting golden hue to the color
scheme. Each should be planted in
masses and together. There are
also Canterbury bells, candytuft,
which is of low growth and should

forget-me-nots, primroses, holly
hooks, in those beautiful shades of
pink, chrysanthemums, in their

which are hardy and which can

OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
TO SHEEP men

The Statesman has been requcs-
ted to publish a decision of the SUI
premc court in which it is held to
be lawful-not in violation of the
two-mile-limit law-to drive sheep
across lands within two miles of
the house of settler. This de-
cision was rendered in the case of
Phipps VS.. Grover, from Washing
ton county, decided January 7,
1904. In its opinion the supreme
c ,urt said:
The important question pre-
scented for our consideration is,
Does the statute undertake to pro-
hibit the driving of sheep through
the state or from one point to an
other therein 1t certainly does
no.. The legislature in making it
unlawful to herd sheep CT permit
them TO Craze within two miles
of the dwelling house of the settler
never meant to include in those
terms the mere driving of sheep
through the country, or from one
feeding or grazing place to an
other. If they had meant such a
thing, their acts would have been
futile and in violation of both the
state and federal constitutions, as
we'll as the acts of congress. We
must construe this enactment in
the light of the objects the legisla-
ture had in view We assume that
those objects we're lawful, and
therefore conclude that driving
stock from one range to another is
not 'herding' them, nor is the &C.
casional eating of grass, as they go
or while stopped for needed rest,
grazing as contemplated by the
lawmakers when enacting the fore
going statute. BOISE Statesman.

Senator W. f. BOrah.

ldhao has set good example to
politicians in every state of the
union. She has elected a United
States Senator without campaign,
a political battle or struggle for
money. The members of the re-
publican party cast their entire
vote for w. E. Borah. Before them
the state convention and the vote of
the people had decided that he
should be the coming man. With
great enthusiasm and amidst con-
tinued applause the election was
held and the results made unani-
politics. 1t is the beginning of
what promises to he a future policy
election of United States Senators
by popular vote. And in this case
at least it records the selection of
one OF the best men in the state.
w. r. Borah is young man.
He was born in Illinois and came
from an old Kentucky family. Like
many gr men he came from the
country. He studied law and was
admitted to the bar when % years
old. In 1891 he became a citizen
of Idaho and from an humble
stranger arose to the scat of honor
through hard, earnest and honest
work. He is known as one of the
best at orneys in the Northwest.
Every man is his friend because he
made lno4enemies even In practising
law. He married Mamie Neon
nell, daughter of former Governor
w. ]. Mcconnell, of Idaho, and has
been linked with the state in her
legal, political and executive
branches for the past fifteen years.
He will make mark in the high
est lawmaking assembly of the land.
Watch Senator Borsh come to the
front ranks. The Westerner.
