HELMAR LIEBETRAU OF BERRY
DIES IN WOODS
IT FELL THE WRONG WAY
Succeeds in Extricating Himself from
Under the Tree But BIeeds t.
Death While Sitting on Stump
Found by Son-Leaves Vile and
Sight Children.


-.elmar Liebetrau of Berry was
killed while grubbing out a tree in a
woods Tuesday. He left home in the
afternoon and when it was time for
him to return the family became anx-
ious. His 11-year-old son went to
the woods in search for the father.
He found him sitting on a fallen tree
and received no reply in response to
calls. The boy became alarmed and
hurried to the home Of his brother,
August, who lives near the woods.
Arriving on the scene he at once saw
that his father was dead.
1t appears that Liebetrau braced
the tree so that the crown would fall
into fire which was burning on the
ground The bracer slipped out and
the tree fell towards him, striking
his right shoulder and the right side
of the face. He was buried under the
tree but was able to eXtricate him
self. He sat on the stump of the
tree where he bled to death. An ex-
animation showed that his collar
bone and chin were broken.
Liebetrau was So years old. He is
survived by wife and eight chill
dren. He was the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. August Liebetrau of Middle

interesting to learn what new policies were expected from Mir. Taft in his Ohio speech opening his own presiden- tial campaign.
 The simple truth about President Roosevelt is that he has so highly col ored his views of reform that he has made people first misunderstood him and second fear him. It is not to the point to declare that his intentions are right and his aspirations noble. He is dealing with human beings with nerves in their bodies. The task con- fronting Secretary Taft is the difficult one of producing an equilibrium by the sane ironing out of the confused views of his chief; of demonstrating to the country that while he is heart and soul in the. job of enforcing the laws he proposes if trusted with the duty to enforce them quietly, effectively and without spectacular and gamey stage furniture, He evidently believes he is equal to the undertaking. Those who
 know him know that his methods are more the methods of the trained mind.
 It is for the country to get its educa- tion.

A Rhyme of the Dream Maker Man.

A fnSme oI tne DrSalu Nuker Muu. Down near the end of wandering lane, That runs round the cares of the day Where Conscience and Memory meet and explain Their quaint little quarrels away, A misty air castle sits back in the dusk Where brownies and hobgoblins dwell,
 And this is the home
 Of busy old gnome Who is making up dream things to sell,
 My dear. The dairtiest dream things to sell. He makes golden dreams out of wicked mems slghs. He weaEes dn the thread of q hope The airiest fancies of pretty brown eyes, And patterns his work with a trope, The breath of a rose and the blush of wish Boiled down to the ghost of a bliss,
 He wraps in n smile
 Every once in while And calls it the dream of a kiss.
 Dear heart. The dream of an unborn kiss. Last night when I walked through the portals of sleep And came to the weird little den. l looked in the place where the elf-man should keep A dream that I buy now and then. Tis only the sweet, happy dream of a day Yet one that I wish may come true--
 But I learned from the elf
 That you'd been there yourself, And he'd given my dream to you,
 Sweetheart, He'd given OUT dream to you.

TAX EXEMPTIONS.

It has been discovered that the town of Stonington in this State has a sys- tenn of it's own in attracting new en- terprises to locate there. This is the official statement which we under stand is sent broadcast over the coun- try by means of letter heads: This town assumes and renits for a period of ten years all town taxes of new manufacturing industries established within it's limits having a capital of $30,0O0 or over"
 It is highly interesting to learn that a single Connecticut town has thus undertaken to lift itself by the boot straps in plain violation of the con- stitution. The Hartford Business Mems Association undertook to ex- empt a new typewriter concern in that way for a term of years but discover ed that it did not possess the power to do so; that other residents of the city had rights which could not in that way be taken from them It would be stimulating to know how the town of Stonington with it's less than ten thousand population wields a power
 denied the town of Hartford with its
 one hundred thousand population.

4 NEW CROUCH ON MANI

It has been evident for some time that the United States has some pow erful powder The accident on the battleship Georgia and other acci- dents have shown this But it is cheer ing to read that she has now an ex- |plosive more powerful than that which has figured in those accidents. An explosive even more powerful than the famous and efficient "shimose" of the Japanese. It Is claimed by our ordnance officers. that In dunnite, in vented by Major Dunn of the ord nance corps, U. s. A., we have a powder such as no other nation has, It lis more powerful than shimose, and with detonator can be sent five miles and sink the biggest craft af1oat with out needing to penetrate the arnNor a hairs breadth. Given impact, the chemical changes set under way in the explosive powder are such that when carried on in proximity to armor it Ecrumbles and breaks as if between a colossal hammer and anvil
 Good, unless the United States army and navy blow themselves up with
 dunnite before they can get a chance
 to use it on some other army and
 navy. It would be cheering if the lnew explosive would scare the Powers so that they would send word to theil Representatives at The Hague to de
 clare for peace right off and provide for carrying out the declaration.

WORTH HAVING.

Probably King Edward doesn't care as much for diamonds as some of the rich folks of the United States do, but probably he wont refuse to accept the Cullinan diamond which Premier Botha proposes to give to him by resolution of the colonial parliament in token of the loyalty of the people of the Trans vaal and their appreciation of their constitutional liberties It is something to have the largest and most valuable diamond in the world. This remarkable stone is said to weigh more than three thousand carats in it's present uncut condition. Such size makes the fam ous diamonds of the world, most of which are now in the possession of roy alties or States, seem insignificant by contrast. The Czar's Orloff stone weighs less than two hundred carats;

The Speed NIaniacs.
fSnringf1eld Union.l

As a pleasure vehicle the automobile is almost perfection. It takes one, when run with reason, at two or three times the speed of a good horse and keeps up the pace no matter how hot the day or how poor the road. At a good clip in the hands of competent man, it neither endangers the lives of it's occupants nor the lives of others. In the hands of a crazy-headed enthu- siast, whose only thought is to see how rapidly he can tear off the miles, this useful and delightful machine becomes a fearful engine of destruction. There is a serious work ahead for the sane automobile owners. It is to find some way to restrain the speed maniacs, who are inviting the enactment of laws that will make the motor car little bet ter than a horse as means of getting about the country.

ONE OF THE NEw DANGERS.

Not long ago the Teddy bear was ac- cused by a preacher of destroying the instinct of motherhood. It is now ac- cused@o of taking away from little girls the incentive to learn to sew. Mrs Jessup, superintendent of the sewing department of the New York public schools, says the doll encourages the female child to learn to use the needle t1 make clothes for her plaything, whereas the Teddy bear offers no such incentive, as it wears nothing but it's bearskin.
 Sad and terrible. Perhaps we shall yet read that familiarity with the Ted dy bear tends to cultivate ferocity and an impulse to smash things, which wouldn't be at all proper in nice little girls.

ONE oE THE ApKANr4GES.

There are advantages in living in a
 city like New Haven, especially in a dry time. In spite of the failure, or
 partial failure. of some crops in some
 places enough to eat can be got in
 New Haven by those who can buy or
 beg it. There Is also enough water Ito drink and use for other purposes. It is good water too It doesn't have
 to be carted in pails or barrels from la long distance, but is brought right to our doors, and then inside them. The lawns and gardens can be wa tered with it. The streets can be and are wet with it. But the crowning glory of life in dry time in New Ha- ven is the way the crosswalks are wa tered, The extravagant abandon with which these are made sloppy and muddy must strike a visitor from the dry country as reckless waste. But the city resident knows that it can be
 afforded and takes a kind of pride in lit as indicating the extent of New Ha- Iven's resources and the generosity
 with which they are used. Don't let the crosswallzs get dry, especially dur ling this dry time. In the country lround about such wetness would be Appreciated.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Administration Policy Not Likely to
 Make Matters Worse.

(New York Journal of Commerce.)
 The policy of the administration has been in the main right, and no doubt it will be persisted in. That might as we'll be accepted and calculations reconciled with it. for there Is no danger of radi- cal action which will make matters worse and bring about disaster. The state of mind produced by the success sive breaks in stocks Is largely mor- bid. It attributes efforts to the wrong causes and magnifies and distorts the perils of the situation, but state of mind may in itself be dangerous, and it has a tendency to spread and inten- sify It is desirable now to do every thing possible to restore equanimity, to judge of conditions calmly and deal with them conservatively Instead of producing "scares" or increasing them there should be Q general effort to get over them and to prevent them. A nervous and hysterioal condition needs to be dealt with calmly and firmly, but considerably, The banks have a heavy responsibility and should give support to confidence so far as possi- ble. The imitation Is out of most stock values and the retribution for past err TOTS in the market has pretty well wrought it's effect. What Is needed now is to refrain a while from agita- tion, and get over this attack of nerves

HOPE TT WIIL BE CATCHING.

We don't want to add to the preva- lent disturbances, but it is a fact that number of ministers in Delaware have had their salaries raised There has been no strike of ministers in Del aware, with sympathetic strikes by choirs, etc. But somehow or other it got itself noticed that the salaries of some ministers in that State were not as high as they should be. So they have been raised. We do not for a mln- uto suppose that all the Delaware min isters, whose salaries were too low have been blessed by an increase, The others are hoping that the salary raising will become epidemic and spread through all the churches that need to be includ- ed In such an epidemic we hope so, too. And after the epidemic has run through Delaware we hope 1t win take a run through the other States. The minister of the gospel Is one of the la- borers worthy of their hire who don't seem to be gerting a worthy hire in many cases Ministers have to eat, dress pretty well, move in good as well as in poor society, etc, etc. To be sure, there is a general idea that they ought to be reasonably poor, and per- haps they had, but there is no Scrip ture for their being as unreasonably poor as many of them are.
