About the time the horse reached the railroad crossing on Maple street the S:35 north bound passenger train was just coming into the station, and everyone who wit messed the event expected to see the horse and the occupant of the sleigh meet an awful fate as the train and horse reached the same spot simul- taneously; but the horse just at this time swung to one side near the en-' trance to the G. 1 R. Glove Cos Of- flee, and those who were nearby claim that the escape from death was miraculous. Officer Malone, who appeared at this time, ordered the team to be taken to the hotel, as the woman claimed that her escort had gone into the Naugatuck hotel The team is said to be owned by well known liveryman of Waterbury and that it was himself who was the driver, who had gone into the hotel. At any rate the team was driven away by him shortly after the occur renee, and whel last seen he was going toward Waterbury.

GRAND RAPIDS WINS
FROM PORTAGE BOYS

The largest crowd thus far this sea-
son, gathered at the ball grounds
Thursday afternoon, to witness the
game of base ball between the Port
age city team and the Grand Rapids
Tigers. The visitors scored their first
and last score in the first half of the
first inning. The local team was
successful in scoring three in the
sixth and two i'm the seventh, making
a total of five. The game was very
close and very interesting throughout
and the entire audience was well
pleased with the exhibition of base
ball on this occasion. The gate re-
ceipts were large and satisfactory.
The home team is playing good ball,
and there is no reason why they
should not grow even better as prac-
tice continues. The visitors went
away well satisfied with their days

NO TIMBER SHORTAGE

For twelve years the excitement of
our national conventions has shown a

plenty and to spare. The Republicans
are already offering these possibilities;

Cortelyou of New York
Statesmen and Republicans, each
and every one. OF the list every man
has been advocated by friends and
supporters. Mr.. Roosevelt is not in
the group because he has said that he
will not be candidate, and we be-
lieve him. But there is timber in
plenty, and the convention will be
pushed to it's best efforts in making
the choice.-St. Louis Times.

DECORATION
DAY SERVICES
Graves OF Soldiers Remembered
in Morning and Their Deeds in
the Afternoon.

AS usual, there were great mum.
ber of people who went to the GENE
teries Thursday to decorate the graves
of departed ones. The parade in the
morning formed in front of the
Library building, and headed by the
band marched to the cemeteries. A
number of the Civic societies
turned out and with the W. r.
c. witnessed the services of the
Grand Army of the Republic, over
the grave of the late David Kammerer,
in Calvary Cemetery. The service
was an impressive one, and the spirit
OF reverence peryaded every heart in
the city of the silent. Flowers were
strewn, and the old soldiers graves
especially marked.
In the afternoon the Opera House
was crowded to its capacity. An ex-
cellent program of music, recitations
and oratory had been provided for
this occasion, and the same spirit of
reverence for the dead heroes of the
civil war, was present. Commander
Gets was in charge of the service
which was conducted according to
the ritual of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
Rev. Meilicke delivered an excellent
grafton in which he recalled the many
reasons for Memorial Day. He cited
what the days of bloody war meant to
all who were now living, and the
lesson it would be even to the unborn
generations. His words were eloquent
for the deeds of the dead, and hope
full for the future of this great nation.

WILL REDUCE
THE SALOONS
New Law Will Cut the Number
Materially.

The bill known as "The Baker
District Option bill, is now up to
Governor Davidson, and is either
signed, or will be signed in a short
time.
This bill limits the number of sa-
looms in towns, villages and cities to
one to each $50 residents. 1t also
gives residents of any district con-
tanning from 100 to $50 inhabitants
the power to prevent the licensing of
any saloon in such district In order
to do this, however, the remonstrance
must be signed by at least a majority
of the residents of the district.
While at the present time Grand
Rapids has the limited number of
saloons and over, the law will not re-
duce the number, if those now having
licenses desired to renew and the
council consents. This is so for the
reason that the law does not effect
licenses in force on June /, 1907. If
any drop out, however, and the num-
Der of saloon licenses in effect exceeds
the maximum number allowed by the
law, no new licenses can be granted.
There is another bill now pending
which fixes the maximum saloon
licenses in towns and villages at 5000
instead of 800, as at present.

"MR. BOBB" WAS
VERY PLEASING
High School Students Pleased a
Large Audience.

The auditorium of the Lincoln
High School was well filled Wednes-
day evening May %, with interested
people, the occasion being the class
day exercises and the class play.
The exercises were very interesting
and all the numbers on the program
were enjoyed by those present.
The class play, ''Mr. Bob, was an
interesting two act, college play with
an amusing mix-up of parties and
names. In brief, it dealt with a sum-
mer visit of college friends, and the
usual getting together to play joke.
The joke carried the principals into
deeper water than was anticipated,
and as consequence there was more
difficulty than was intended in ex-
tracting the parties concerned. 1t all
ends happily however, and amusement
is sustained to the very end.
1t would be very difficult matter
to single out the best among the
actors, for each one of the students
se0med thoroughly familiar with his
or her part, and by long and CAREFUL
preparation was enabled to carry it
well. Some had more lines than the
others, but each was well fitted to the
part assigned, and their work can
best be described by saying that
they were each and everyone ex-
cellenu
