FREIGHT AGENT CHANGES.
Many Moves Since the Freight Hand
 lers' Strike.

It is understood that James H. COsgriff, freight agent for the New Haven road in TorringtOn will suc- ceed Frederick L. White, freight agent at the Naugatuck station, who has resigned his position to accept an offer from the Seth Thomas Clock Co of Thomaston. Charles Bavier of Thomaston will succeed Mir Cosgriff at Torrington. Changes continue to come thick and fast in this city since the strike of the freight handlers.
 Assistant Superintendent Dunn who played an important part in the strike severed his connection with the company some weeks after the trouble The people of Waterbury will regret to have Mir White leave as he was becoming popular in this city, even though he has been here only abOut year. He has purchased a handsome residence in Thomaston and will reside there. Superintend- ent c. s. Lake continues to spring something new almost every day, some of his orders being received not any too favorably in this city. His latest statement that as far as he knows, the night trains which were re- gently taken off the Naugatuck di- vision would not be put on again, has made the public feel anything but pleasant towards the road. It seems that the road in its plan of entrench- ment and economy. is treating Water bury as though it were village.

ANOTHER CONCERT.

The First Congregational church choir, assisted by some of the best vocalists in the city, are preparing to sing "The Sun Worshipers, an interesting work by Goring Thomas, on Thursday, November 21. This work will be placed in the latter part of the program of the concert, the first part being devoted to solo num- bers with the exception of the great seXtet from DOnizetti's Lucia di LammermOOr, by the members of the quartet and Henry M. Werner, tenor, and George M. Hayward, bass. Prof John L. Bonn whose fine piano playing has gained him such an en- viable reputation, has consented to appear in this part. An added at traction will be the solos of George TOmpkinS, viOlinist, whose good work is so well known in this vicin- itY. Mrs May and Mir Bullard will sing in this section, Mrs Calvert and MT Howard being heard in brilliant numbers in the Sun WOrshipers. |" The many musical people who were in attendance at the concert given by MT TOwne last June will antici- pate this concert, differing as it does from the features of the other con certs this season, past and to come.

 State School.

A few days ago Patrick Walsh of 9S South Elm street was notified to he in the city court the following morning to give reasons why he should moi have his dog registered. He did not appear and warrant was is- sued for his arrest Last evening officer Flahcrty went to the mans house to take him in. The officer had to push his way in and then fight Walsh The consequence of WalSh's failure to he in court was that this morning hp was not only charged with keeping an unregistered dog. but also with intnxiCation The trip to court cost him S1O and the costs. or about S1G.

 The caboose of a freight train on a siding near the Meriden june tiOn went up in smoke Monday even ing about 9:30. The blaze caused such an illumination that it could be seen some distance away.

The caboose burned to the ground.

A MONTH AGO

we heard scarcely anything only about the mayor or the would-be mayor, and both gentlemen got talk ing so much that after election they had to skiddoo out of town. One went to a country where he wouldn' t know anyone, and if he continues talking there two-thirds of the peo- pie won't understand him and the other third won't be interested. But the would-be mayor took to the Maine woods, and 'tis said he just felt like shooting some one or some thing, so he decided the birds in the air or the beasts of the forest would have to satisfy him, and if he dldn catch fish enough around election time, why he can catch fish where he is gone providing he knows how. It's wonder he didn't take the "Lilley of the valley'' with him just to give him pointers. But WE don't believe in going out of town to have GUT say and WE don't have to, be- cause what WE have to say is all ways for the publics goOd-no false promises. What we say. we do. We have few more coal hOds, one with a pound of our warranted good Bak- ing Powder, 45c per pound; and we guarantee our Tea and Coffee is the usual first quality; none in the city to equal it for the price, at

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Is 1t Right?

In looking over the OPTICS Saturday eve
ming edition, we note that Editor Smart hal
seen fit to give space to travelling doctor
from Minneapolis, who has chosen to travel
because the fields are much greener than they
would if he remained in one place.
The Independent formerly advertised the
business Of this same doctor, but only for two
or three weeks, and then only because this oily
tongued individual assured us that he was
doing the Minot doctors favor-taking only
We ought to have known better than believe
such story-the idea that the Minot doctors
are not capable Of looking aftera the business
that there is to dc; in their profession in this
part Of the state As soon as one of the Minot
doctors called our attention to the fact that
this travelling physician was locking after ex-
actly the same business as our home physicians
ness with that individual, and think that the
other local papers ought to do the same
Perhaps Bro. Smart will think that we are
trying to tend to some of his business, but we
assure him that we are not. We have always
tried to conduct paper for the Minot business
the line at taking foreign advertising where it
would conflict with any home business. We
very much deplore the fact that there are bus
mess men in Minot who still send away for
their stationery, but if the Minot newspapers
persist in accepting advertising which inter-
feres with home business, we cannot consist
emily make any complaint. The Independent
likes business all right, and it gives our heart
strings mighty hard jerk to turn down adver.
Using, yet nearly every day We are compelled
to do this. But we don't believe that We really
lose anything by doing so. The Minot bust.
ness men are not so dull, but that they notice
these conditions, and we actually believe that
in the end newspaper will make more by turn
ing down all classes of Objectionable advertis-
ing matter, no matter if there is good money
to be made in running it.

During. the coming winter months the
farmers of North Dakota, as we'll as the citizens
OF the state generally, will have exceptional
opportunities to keep abreast Of the best agri-
cultural and scientific thought thru the admit
able series OF farmers Institutes under the
direction OF Superintendent T. A Hoverstad J.
1t is planned to hold two institutes in every
county OF the state where practicable, one IN
each OF Two places in the county. The sessions
will be one day sessions with evening sessions
whenever the institute force remains over night
in the town where the institute is held.
How may q town secure an institute?
Supt. H0verstad is nov at work on the
schedule, and will be guided largely by the in.
terest shown by requests from the various CON-
munities for Institutes. If you want an insti-
tute, write Supt. Hoverstad at 1nce at the
State Agricultural College at Fargo, n. u. All
that is asked on the party Of citizens is that q
place OF meeting be provided and that the citi-
zens cooperate with the institute in making the
institute success, particularly by securing q
good attendance.
Individual citizens, commercial clubs, wo-
mems cIubs-any person or organization may
begin at once to help along the farmers insti-
tute movement.
In case OF conflicting applications, Mr..
Hoverstad will make the best possible choice OF
places to accommodate the largest number OF
interested persons.

is widely Known thruout the Northwest as a
valued adviser, will particularly treat the para
mount farmers problem in North Dakota-the
preservation Of the fertility Of the soil. Prac.
tical farm questions along the leading lines Of
agriculture viii be treated in every program.
The farmer will be put in touch with the best
books and bulletins dealing with subjects that
cannot be exhaustivelv dealt with in the insti-

practical problems Of the farm may be better
understood and better met.

The insurance rates in Minot are liable to
be boosted at any time. We should do several
things to avoid THE, and at once.
For one thing, our water main should be
enlarged. The pressure at the present time is
very low at it's best The water tank is too
at all times A huge reservoir built in the
ground on top Of the hill, would be just the
thing and from this water could be pumped in
case Of q fire on the South Hill. The system
should be extended The streets and alleys
should be kept more free from paper. Recently

you are alive, you will see them much higher if
something is not done soon to remedy these
conditions.

ANOTHER BREAK
 IN UTAH CONs'D
Sells Of Three Points at the Close General Market Shows Sagging
 Tendency-Little Trading in Local Stocks-Wheat Barket on the Decline.
lBy I. N. Kinseyl

GLOBE, July 20.-Yesterday was short session on the Boston and New York exchanges and as is usually the case, the trading was light. Railroad and industrial stocks held up well and in few cases show point gain. The whole copper list was weak and was inclined to sell off at the close. The bears made another attack on Utah and drove it down to the new low level of $43.75. Mohawk, Osceola and Tamarack each sold off point, as did North Butte and Copper Range. Calumet & Arizona was the only stock that showed any strength, closing at $l67 bid.
 Sales were recorded on Old Dominion at $45. Opening sales were made at $45, but all the stock offered at that price was soon picked up. At the close it was offered at $45.50. Globe Con solidated weakened little in the after. noon, closing at $l3.75. We were bid ding $2.62 yesterday for Superior & Boston, but failed to locate any of the stock. Calumet X Globe was offered freely at $l.50 with no takers. We un- derstand that this stock is slated for a substantial rise within the next thirty days. The balance of the local list re. mained unchanged.
