NEW SUNDAY TRAIN
Service VIII Be Maintained Between
Dallas and Falls City During
Summer Months.

The petition Of the people Of Falls
City for Sunday train service has
been granted by General Manager
Louis Gerlinger, Jr., and the first
special trip will be made next Sunday.
The train will leave Dallas at a. M,
and returning, will leave Falls City
at 6 80 p. m. The service will be con-
tlnued regularly each Sunday until
further notice.
The time schedule has been so
arranged as to give the people Of
Dallas an opportunity to spend the
entire day In the mountains or to visit
friends In the country. 1t is believed
that many people will avail them
selves of the chance to get away from
town and enjoy an outing 10 the
woods during the warm summer
months. The train will also accom-
modate the people Of Falls City and
Black Rock who wish to spend Satur-
day In Dallas and return home Sun
day morning. Heretofore, loggers
and lumbermen visiting Dallas on
Saturday have had to return home In
the afternoon or wait over until Mon
day morning, thus losing an entire
day from their work.
The people Of Falls City will welcome
the improved service, as they have
long desired Sunday connection with
the outside world. Manager GerliDgeI
informs US that the schedule will be
made permanent. II sufficient patron
age is offered 70 justify the expense Of
the increased service.

No time to think

When pipes begin to
leak and the bathroom
floor is flooded, look out
for a fall in the ceiling
below. All small leaks
become Niagaras if neg
lected, and it costs lots
Of money to repair a
ceiling. The surest way
to avoid a Plumbers
bill is either to put in
the best plumbing at the
start, or to watch out
for possible leaks and
rusty joints. WE are
expert Plumbers, use
only the best materials,
the best workmanship,
and guarantee all work
done. THINK AHEAD!
If you have plumbing
that you want done in
the cheapest manner do
not come to us. We
don't do that kind of
work; but if you have
Plumbing that you want
done in a first-class man

see us. That's the kind
of work we want and
our price will be as cheap
as that kind Of work can
be done.

LUCEY PLEADS GUILTY,
ESCAPES JAIL SENTENCE BUT
 MUST PAY HEAVK FINE.

Case Had Been First in City Court
 Lucey Promises to Close. the Two
 Upper Floors of His Place-Prosecu-
 tor Woodruff Finds It Hard to Get
 Witnesses.
 John J. Lucey, proprietor of Jacks" cafe at 1S5 Temple street, who has been on trial for keeping disorderly house, decided to plead guilty yesterday morn ing, and his case came to an unex- pected end. Lucey's counsel, Fitzger- aid and Walsh, held long conference with Prosecutor Woodruff in regard to terms, provided the plea of guilty was entered. They reached a settlement about noon.
 The principal feature of the terms was the throwing off of the jail pen alty that had been imposed in the city court.
 After Lucey had pleaded guilty Pros ecutor Woodruff addressed the court, and said he had been hampered in get ting witnesses to testify in the case, or he would have been able to put up a stronger case. If he had subpoenaed some persons who could testify about the character of the place they would have left the jurisdiction of the court. MT, Woodruff also said that he was largely induced to agree to the. terms through Lucey's promise to close the two upper floors of the place to the satisfaction of the authorities. He had agreed to fine of $50 on each of the two counts for violation of the liquor law, and $1OO on each of the two counts relating to the disorderly house,
 Attorney Fitzgerald said the defense, too had been hampered in getting wit nesses. Reputable men who had been in the place on legitimate business had begged of him not to summon them in as they feared 1t would hurt their bus mess.
 He said that 1t was Lucey's first of- fense, and that in any event his busi- ness was seriously injured
 MT. Fitzgerald said it had been agreed that the hotel part of the Tenn pie street place, or the two upper floors, should be closed and this would mean a considerable loss to his client, He hoped the court would remit some of the costs in the case,
 Judge Wolfe said he took into com sideration that the accused had saved the expense of a trial, and the agree ment that the two upper floors should be closed had great weight with the court Under the circumstances the court thought that the ends of justice would be as well served without the infllction of the jail penalty.
 Judge Wolfe said the hotel had borne a bad reputation for years, and it was surprise to him that the police, ex cept in one or two instances, had been profoundly ignorant of the character of the place.
 The court said he would agree to the fines and costs recommended by the prosecutor He understood further that the costs would amount to $l50.
 The fines and costs against Lucey amount to $45O. In the city court he was fined s25O, and sentenced to six months In jail by Judge Tyner

 At festival even song service and confirmation at St. Paurs Episcopal church, Willimantic, it was announced that $10,OO0 had been raised during the year ending with Easter Sunday, which will be added to the building fund In remarks appropriate for the occasion, the Rt.

Hatch, upon its success in being able to raise the necessary money with which to hold a legacy of $2OO0O an- nounced at last years Easter Sunday service

Boardman of New Haven, who left St. Paurs church $2O,OO0 to be used in con- nection with building new church, under condition that $10,000 additional be raised within the year for that pur- pose. The necessary amount has been raised largely through the personal eff forts of the Rev. MT. Hatch. Nearly the whole of the $10,OO0 has been given locally
