The surprising issue of the little town elections. Monday. was the over whelming defeat Of the patch q up eon- stitution with its increase in pay to legislators from Sa00 to $500 and four year term for probate judges. In some towns the vote was as much as 10 to against 1t and it is showed un- der by at least ? to throughout the state. The proposition to increase the salary of the legislators is plainly very unpopular.

We carry one of the largest stocks of boys and young mems clothing in this vicinity. It represents greater variety of styles and patterns than you can find if you were to travel miles. Why is this? If we were not able to satisfy customers, if we did not have the goods they were looking for, they would go elsewhere. Every time a merchant loses sale he makes a good customer for one of his competitors. This is reason enough for our putting forth the utmost efforts to keep stock of the most up-to-date clothing as re- gards style, quality and correct sizes. Isn't it reasonable to expect that you can do better in buying of us than else where. - Davis & Savard, Corner Main street and Fairfield avenue, Bridge port.

BEST SERVES PUBLIC MORALS
Appeal Of the Case Of Mrs. Myers to
the Supreme Court VIII Now
Be Observation-Disclosures
Done In 1904.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Gov. Folk late
Monday afternoon committed the
death sentences of Mrs. Aggie Myers
and Frank Hoffman to Imprisonment
In the penitentiary for life. Mrs. My
ers and Hoffman were convicted Of
having murdered Clarence Myers, the
woman's husband, in Kansas City in
1904.
The appeal of Mrs. Myers case to
the United States supreme court will
now be dismissed by her attorneys.
Gov. Folk stated in a message to the
secretary Of state relative to the COM
mutation of the sentences that he be-
lieves the public morals will be the
better conserved by committing the
sentence OF Mrs. Myers to life impris-
onment than by hanging her. In the
case of Frank Hoffman, her accom-.
plice. he said, similar facts exist and
for that reason he also committed his
sentence to life Imprisonment.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Root and
Mexican Ambassador Creel have de-
cided that the time was ripe for n
certed action to terminate hostilities
in Central America IL that result
could be accomplished by moral sua-
sion and earnest representations, be-
yond which point neither the United

A series of conferences was held
Saturday at the state department be-
tween the interested parties. A notable
fact was the absence Of the Mica

suggested that the purpose Of the
conference to frame an agreement for
the future settlement of all disputes
between Central American countries
and to submit this to Nicaragua and
request her adhesion, falling which
that country would find itself standing
alone among the Central American
states and without their sympathy. 1t
is believed that a few days will bring

that either peace will be declared OF
