PARTY POLITICS
Seem Dropping Away and Every
 Man Out For Himself.

Interest in party politics appears to
 be on the wanesin Waterbury, and in
 time 1t will be hard to find anybody
 outside the professional office seeker
 to affiliate with either side, especially the one that is on the outs Indeed things are bordering on that stage now in the republican camp, notwithstand-
 ing the effort made to rally the scatter
 ed forces and cement them into one solid body before the opening of the
 fall campaign. Several very good
 citizens are at the head of the club,
 but somehow the rank and file fail to enthuse, and worse still many who have been prominently identified with the party in the past have grown
 weary of the work and while not pro- claiming it from the house tops say they don't intend to swallow" party candidates any more unless they hap pen to suit them. Probably this Is Il good all around principle, but the ma chine politicians don't like it and as n consequence the men at the helm are very much alarmed over what they re- gard as an indifference that threatens to result in leaving the democrats in almost undisputed possession of the field so far as active offices are con- cerned, the republicans being sure of nothing except such berths as they have filled up for their friends in Hart ford.
 John Sewell is talked of as candl- date for mayor on the republican tick ct, and 1t is also hinted that the first ward men want satisfaction for the treatment accorded Ralph Blakeslee two years ago and think their man should be given another trial. Judg- ing by what one hears it doesn't make much difference whether 1t is Sewell, Biakeslee or somebody else, the nan who acts as standard bearer for the republicans this year in the local elec- tion is bound to be trampled under foot, for nearly every republican you meet says Thoms is good enough for him, and as the democrats have mo- body else in mind for the nomination it is hard to see what show the other side has of winning.
 Of course the republicans will form into battle array and put up fight, but that it win be nothing more than a sham battle and mighty poor one at that. But some of the republicans are game birds and believe in sticking to their guns while there Is ghost of a show to dislodge and capture the, citadel. These are working like benv- CTS to have every man enrolled in the new club, but although invitations ga- lore have been issued they don't seem to have the desired effect. and if the so-called leaders were not made of the right kind of Nufr they would have be- come discouraged long ago and thrown up the sponge for the present at least. But they haven't done that and from all accounts they don't intend to. They have planned for big jollifcation meeting next Thursday night and claim that they have assurances of crowded house. Pretty soon the rooms will be open evenings and everything possible done to make the place at- tractive so that youth as well as old age may find 1t a nice place to spend q half hour once in while.

THE POLICE COURT.
N. Combellack Gave Evidence Against
 A Father and Mother.

Henry Emmons of West Main street was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day charged with fail- ing to support his wife and two chil- dren, aged two and three years. The evidence of Probation Officer Com bellack and Henry A. Atwood, assist ant superintendent on the board of charities, was that the children have been badly neglected and both fa- ther and mother are drinkers. Mir Combellack was stating that about year ago. Emmons walked of with the furniture without telling his wife. She had no place to stay that night with her children and he found her asleep under a veranda and the next morning about o'clock he found both the mother and the children in the lots on West Main street, when Mrs Emmons shouted out: "Now, Mir ComDeiiack. you know you're not telling the truth"
 Emmons was put on probation to pay s5 a week.
 Philip Mandocono was charged with assaulting Louis Mursky under the Bank street bridge yesterday. Murski had some bundles of goods with him when the fracas took place. He said Le has been 20 years in town. Yesterday he was passing under the Bank street bridge when the accused went for him. pulled his beard. threw him down and jumped on him and his hat. The accused said Murski called him names. The court said he did not believe the accused. and imposed fine of s20 and costi.
 Augustine Bostobeli. who was the widest and most distressed looking man that has been ln the city court in many a day was charged with cruelty beating h!s horse. The wit nesses against him were Attorney Walter Makeplece and Mrs John Hughes of the Model laundry. A fine of s5 and costs was imposed.
 Michael Minkovftch was charged with cutting trees In Chase park. Minkovitch's excuse was that his wife was sick and he wanted the bark of an oak tree which he intended boiling to make medicine. It trans pired that the ordinance under which the complaint was brought was very lame and sentence was suspended.
 For intoxication Patrick Swords was fined s and costs. Daniel Ber- gin. charged with intoxlcation aiso was surprised by being let go. A case against Gioyani Daselma for theft of 90 pounds of copper of the value of $40 was put over to Non- day

RESERVOIRS SLOCATION
Part in Waterbury and Part in
 Town of Prospect.

How much of the East Mountain reservoir is located in Prospect? is a question inspired by an article in the Democrat relative to the source of the water supply for Waterbury prior to the construction of the Branch. This isn't much of puzzle. About three fourths of the East Mountain basin is in Waterbury and the rest in Prospect, but the whole of the up- per reservoir, commonly known as the Prospect reservoir, Is in the town of Prospect. When Nelson J. Welton and a few others went out that way to look up water shed they finally decided on East Mountain. This ncessitated the purchase and removal of several farm houses, including those of John Bronson, soldier of the revolution ary war, and one owned by Nelson Cowell, father of Judge George H. Cowell. Mir Bronson was not willing to give up his old home and when the surveyors went into his lot he drove them out at the point of rifle and kept them off the land until finally his family persuaded him to yield. An other matter an old time Waterbury man thought of, he says, when he read the addresses delivered at the un- yelling of the soldiers monument in Prospect, is that the small towns that have been parceled off from Water bury during the past fifty years or so are arroggating to their own credit many things which they have no right to. Prospect" he said, "Naugatuek, Middlebury, Watertown, and large DOT tions of other places in our neighbor- hood, belonged to Waterbury in reyo- lutionary times and the part played in the struggle for independence by Waterbury as it existed at that time belongs to Waterbury now as well as at that time. The only glory there is in this whole thing for the towns cut off from Waterbury is what they did during the Mexican and civil wars. All the rest belongs to Waterbury no mat ter what the orators may say to the contrary"

SILVER TIPS ON POCKET KNIVES

You wouldn't think that the little
German silver tips on pocket knives are
cast separately, but such is the case"

cannot be cut from one large sheet of

these tiny pieces of metal is poured
separately. thousands of little molds be-
ing required for the purpose in large
establishment. Scrap German silver is

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE

The Herald is not inclined to be-
lieve the report that some Of the club
women of Los Angeles are raising
money to defend the woman who shot
George Bennett.
The woman is hardly deserving of the
sentimentality of her sisters. In the
first place, she showed her caliber in
morals by beguiling Bennett Away from
his lawful wife, whose death FROM a
broken heart must in measure be laid
at her door,
| She then lived illegally with Bennett,
on her own confession, without the
formality of wedlock, in open and no
torious violation Of the laws of God
and man. When another woman had
won the affection of her paramour
she took the usual method of her ilk
| in getting even-she shot him to death.
Just how a good woman, or any
number of them, let alone the high
class that constitute the membership
of clubs, can feel any sympathy with
this woman, is beyond KEN Why
they should rally to her support and
extend to her their sympathy, APP
plause and help is one of the things
past understanding.
The law expressly provides for the
defense of the meanest and lowest
criminal. If he have no means to pay
for it, the law furnishes attorney and
funds for legitimate costs. This woman
is not supposed to be penniless, but
if she be the state will see that she
has all the money or advice needed to
insure her fair trial, without the inter
vention of any set of representative
women, club members or otherwise.
If the good club women really want
to do anything in this deplorabIe case,
they might look up the children left
fatherless and motherless by the illegal,
immoral actions of the woman, and
see that they have livelihood and an
education. That were an avocation
worthy even of club woman. The
law will attend to all the rest.

EXPLAINING WHO HE is

A Colorado man who is visiting in Wei
lington told H. L. Woods this story;
The game warden of Colorado was walk
ing out in the mountains the other day
when he met hunter with his gun. The
official suggested that that ought to be a
EFT certainly is" said the hunter,
proudly. II killed one of the finest bucks
yesterday l ever saw and he weighed over
not be shot without subjecting the hunter
to a heavy fine well, that is a fine
one" said the warden, and do you know
that he did not, the official said: why,
am the chief game warden of Colorado"
The hunter was only taken aback for a
moment, when he asked, And do you
know who YOU are talkiRg tor The
warden didn't know.
WELL sir" said the hunter, apparently
much relieved you are talking to the
biggest liar In the whole state of Colo

PUBLICITY THAT PAYS

From Chicago comes the statement
that the management of the Hartman
railway system is preparing for g
most energetic advertising campaign
in which more than 100000 will be
expended"
The keen discernment that character
ICES the greatest of railway magnates is
exemplifed in that announcement. He
is well acquainted with what has come
to be rated as the art and science of
advertising. The success of the pop
ular magazine published by the South
ern Pacific company bears testimony
to appreciation of the value of publicity
by advertising methods.
In laying out the broad and expensive
system of advertising as contemplated,
Mr.. Hartman is providing for change
in the method that has been followed
generally by railway managers in re-
cent years. The dispatch from Chicago
says the purpose is ito do more news
paper advertising than before and to
issue fewer booklets of an expensive
character"
1t may be inferred also, that there
will be a material cut in expenditures
for advertising in the almost countless
magazines that are published with the
primary object of securing advertise
ments. A large portion of the maya
zines started in late years have ficti-
tious calculations, as astute advertisers
have discovered.
The most successful advertisers at
the present time are those who confine
their means of publicity largely, if not
wholly, to daily newspapers of charac-
ter and recognized worth. The month
ly magazine and the weekly periodical
each has it's undoubted sphere of use
fulness, but is lacking in the intimate
touch with the public that distinguish
es the daily newspaper.
Within the last few years the daily
press has steadily grown in favor as a
medium of communication between
supply and demand Sagaciouos bust
ness men, in all lines, have learned that
there is no other medium that fully
fills the requirement for acquainting
the public with what the public wants.
And, on the other hand, the people
have come to rely greatly on the adver-
Using columns of the newspaper for
regarding their wants.

advertise a good thing" might be added

OUTING PRECAUTIONS

The dangers incident to the outing
| season at the seaside and in the noun
tains have been sadly in evidence thi:
month. Bathing casualties at the
beaches and cunning accidents in the
forests have been numerous. In the
weeks of the season ahead, many acct
dents of the kind and probably some
fatalities might be avoided by quite
simple precautions.
The drowning cases and the narrow
escapes from drowning usually result
either from powerful undertow, cramps
or pockets" in comparatively shallow
water. Fairly good swimmers often
find it difficult to contend with the I'M
dertow and the best of swimmers are
liable to be attacked by cramp. The
pocket" which is merely a depres-
sion that may be beyond the bather's
depth, is dangerous only to non-swim-
mers.
The basis of precaution for bathers
at the seaside is assurance of ready
help in case of need. That is, bathing
places should be chosen that are pro-
vided either with life-lines or expert
life-savers, preferably both. In going
outward from shore the tyro should
cautiously feel his way to avoid pos
sible pocket, and he never should go
farther than waist deep. And it never
is safe, because of the risk of cramp,
for even an expert swimmer to venture
far out without being safeguarded by
boat.
The dangers that beset pleasure seek
ers in the mountains are mainly of
three kinds-the gun, the rattlesnake
and the precipice. A gun in the hands
of an inexperienced hunter is a con-
slant menace to the individual himself
or to others who may be within gun
shot, A novice is liable to an attack
of 'buck fever" at sight of a rabbit
and with nervous fingers on the trig-
ger of his gun he is more dreadful than
"rattler."
Follow the rule never to put cart
rige into your gun until you are pre-
sumably near your game and the
danger from accidental discharge will
be minimized. And never pull trig-
ger without absolute assurance that
you are not mistaking a biped for a
quadruped, as seen through the I'M
lderbrush.
Especially in the canyons always be
on the keen lookout for rattlesnakes
There are no other poisonous serpents
in this region.
And never try the experiment OF
seeing how near you can get. to the
extreme edge of a precipice without
tumbling over.

SAN PEDRO WILL
EMJON LONG BEACH
COMPLAINT ALLEGES ELECTION
WAS ILLEGAL
Sale of Wharf Franchises In Whining
ton Lagoon Tract Being seri-
ousIy Objected to by
Harbor City

In a suit brought by the city of Sar
Pedro against the city of Long Beach
Judge Bordwell yesterday granted tenn
porary restraining order enjoining the
Long Beach trustees from disposing OIL
certain wharf franchises in what is
known as the Wilmington Lagoon tract
for which bids were advertised 10 DC
opened July 30.
In the voluminous complaint it is set
forth at great length that at the election
held August 2, 1906 for the purpose OF
annexing the said tract there were GER
tain Irregularities which invalidated the
annexation and made 1t illegal.
In that election the city of Long Beach
was divided in two precincts and
Wilmington into a third. In the city u
vote of 269 for and against In the third
precinct the vote was very close, result
ing in 70 for to 70 against.
In the complaint this is referred to as
only pretended election, and 1t is fur-
Their alleged that several persons VINO
voted in the Wilmington precinct that
day were residents of Los Angeles, Long
Beach and one of New Mexico. 1t Is
claimed also that four of the ballots were
marked by rubber stamp outside OF the
square reserved for that purpose.
To complicate matters further the city
of San Pedro also held a special election
August so, 1905, resulting in vote OF 244
in favor of and votes against the an
neXation.
In the Wilmington district the vote was
81 in favor of annexation and only votes
were cast objecting to 1t.
This election, the plaintiffs claim, was
begun before the election in Long Beach,
and this priority vested in San Pedro
certain jurisdiction which it is claimed
was usurped by the Long Beach trustees.
The plaintiff also alleges that if the
four ballots that were accepted as being
In favor of the annexation by the Long
Beach trustees were stricken from the
total the result would be a defeat of the
annexation to that city. The. injunction
is returnable before Judge Hauser August
2, when the defendants are cited to APP
pear and show cause why it should not be
made permanent.
