HEATER PASSES FREE
On Account of Deal Dr. Hinckley
 Made With Jean Jacques.

Dr Walter F. Hinkley seems to be the only one in this community who has a cinch on theater passes. Some years ago the doctor and the late Eugene l.. Jacques made deal by which the doctors stock in western mine was to become Mir Jacqueb' property in exchange for about $500 worth of theater passes. When MT Jacques became acquainted with the mining property he wanted to get out of his contract. The theater man considered he had paid too much for his whistle and that the man of physic had got the best of the con- tract. So he refused to issue the theater passes. There was law and lawyers then and after Mir Jacques death the combat passed over his grave and onto his estate. Yester- day compromise was affected by the administrator of the Jacques es- tate NJ. E. Keeley by which the doctor is to enjoy about $500 worth of theater passes.

RESULT OF A BRAWL.
Man With Bullet in Back at Local
 Hospital.

Michael Bortungo, an employe of the O'Brien Construction Co, is at the Waterbury hospital in serious condition as the result of brawl with a fellow countryman at the shacks near Hancock last evening. He was shot in the back after hav- ing words with another employe, who escaped after inflicting the wound. As the assault is outside the jurisdic- tion of the local department, it is not likely that 1t will make any strenuous effort to catch the assail- ant, although the Waterbury police has captured several who figured in fights at the same place during the past year.
 It was about o'clock yesterday afternoon when the men got into a quarrel. They wrangled over some property and a spirited argument en- sued. Bortungo had had his say and had turned to depart when the other fellow whipped out revolver and sent bullet into the formers back. The injured man was carried to the hospital. where Dr c. P. Conkey sue cessfully probed for the bullet.
 Numerous fights have occurred at Hancock the past twelve months and a number of stabbing mtaches has been the result.

SOMETHING WRONG
Employees of City Hall May Call
 Board of Health.

The employees of the City hall are poking about through every hole and corner of the building in the hope of locating what they suspect to be the carcass of dead cat that got caught between the joists of the flooring and died there. The smell is now very offensive and unless the source of the trouble is located and removed somebody will get fit of sickness out of 1t that may last all summer. One of the officials told a reporter that the stench has affected him so he cannot eat his meals and that he expects to have to give up soon if the nuisance is not abated. He thought if the board of public works and the commissioners of pub lie health were not too busy throw ing brickbats and bouquets at each other he would ask them to give the matter their attention before the warm weather sets in, but under ex- isting conditions he knows it would not do him any good, because they haven't time to bother with small thing like that.

Hyncs has received 1uIOFIlldtlOu IfOlu AIHuiSpuAdbiC sources that he shall be one of the new deputies. John r. O'Brien is working quietly. but vigorously on his own behalf. He has the backing of several of the lawyers, but not one of them would object to MT Hynes receiv- ing the appointment.
 Everybody appears to be at sea re garding whom the other deputy is to be, except that he will represent the German element ill the party.
 Great things are expected from Mir

Importance of Good Roads.

The town that has good roads lead.
ing to 1t is blessed. Surely there is
no more disagreeable thing, nor any,
thing more adverse to the business
interests of place than impossible
boggy roads. There is little excuse
in the we'll settled community for poor
roads. 1t may in the beginning be
somewhat expensive to put the roads
in order, but in the end it will prove
that the saving in wear and tear on
wagons and horses will we'll repay all
the additional expense. And to the
town good roads are almost vital. The
average farmer would rather drive
three or four miles farther to town
over good roads than do his trading
when 1t is necessary to go hub deep in
mud to the nearer place.

Contrary to Home BuiIdin,

Trade is the life of the agricultural
town. Any system that diverts this
trade is injurious to the community.
Here lies the evil5 of the mail order
system. By drawing the trade from
tie towns, the principal support goes,
and with its going disappears the en-
ployment for the people, the school
system, and the churches and all the
advantages that the town affords to
the people of the community. Not
alone this but home markets are de-
stroyed and the farmer finds the value
OF his land reduced. Have the impor.
tance of home trading and home sup.
port instilled into the minds of the
farmers in general, and there will be
rapid falling off of the catalogus.

Who Makes the Town2

The editor of the paper at Coyle,
Okla, asks in large letters, "Who
makes the town." To make a town
requires the work of many people. 1t
is surely not the man who earns his
wages in the town and then spends
his earnings elsewhere; not the farm
er who sells his produce to the home
merchant and then takes the money
to the express or post office and sends
it to the Chicago mail order house
for the goods he needs; nor the minis
ter who is paid for preaching by the
business interests of the place, and
spends his spare time in working up
grocery clubs for an outside concern.
No. brother, these men do not make
towns.

SAFEGUARD THE HOME
GOOD CITIZENS ARE THE 5UL.
WARk OF THE NATION.
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION
Two Vital Things to Be Considered by
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

Where is found the greatest ad-
vancement and civilization there is
also found among the people the high
est type of fealty and love of home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars of the nations
greatness, and in American citizen
ship is found the bulwark of our re-
publican government.
Where the home life is ideal, there
is found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en-
lightenment and the domestic happi-
ness of the people. How important it
is then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which is the
hotbed where are produced for devel-
opment all the strength that is neces-
sary for the perpetuation of a govern
ment and the maintenance of a ma
tion's greatness. ....
The student who will study into
conditions of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
moil, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes, and
that there is an absence of the love
of country that should be found in the
hearts of it's citizens. There is a duty
that involves upon all, and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come. The duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make 1t attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood. Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life.
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open to every citizen, and where the
people are secure in their rights to
homes, there is every reason why
each one should make the greatest en-
deavor to found for himself and his
progeny a residence place that will
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centiVe to higher mental and social
development.
Education is all important and no
other country in the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to re-
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit
ed States. 1t is important that the
home be located near good schools.
Good schools are generally found
where there are good homes and good
towns. The quality of citizenship of a
community can generally be gagged by
the standard of it's educational insti-
tutions. 1t is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he is To-
Gated or which he may reside near,
be progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be, the better will
be its educational facilities for the
youth. 1t is essential to the greatest
good of a community that it be real
lied by all residing within it that the
more wealthy it can be made, the
greater will be its advantages both as
to education and otherwise. By sup
port to home institutions the home is
made better in every way. Patriotic
citizens will make it their first aim to
be loyal to their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who is loyal to home is generally
faithful in the performance of all the
duties that good citizenship implies,
