TEACHERS MUST ATTEND.
And Give Report of Convention Held
 for Their Benefit.

The life of the poor school teacher is becoming more burdensome every day. In the future the teachers will have to attend conventions when they are held. In past years on con- vention days the teachers did not have to attend, although they were supposed to. Some went and some did not. Now the board of education has made a rule which will compel the teachers to not only attend the annual convention, but also write a report of what they see and hear. Said report must De written ton the first day of school after the couven- tion is held, which will be Friday, October Is, and the teachers may go to New Haven or Hartford, as a sos- sion will be held in both cities. They will have to listen attentively to the lectures as they must present writ ten report to their principal on their return. Already some of the teach CTS are saying horrid things about the horrid ones who are Irresponsible for the rule, while others think 1t is just the proper plan.

The Days of Hancock.

There are more voters in Water- bury now than when Hancock and Garfield were the nominees for president and republicans and demo- crats were out to do their prettiest in the marching business. There was lots of sports for everybody in that campaign, including the women folks and the small boy, the latter being in his glory. The republicans had big crowds in their demonstra- tions. but they were not in 1t with the democrats. The success of the democratic outings was due in a measure to the advance guard con- sisting of John T. Pagan, James Flynn, John Quinn and Patrick O'Rourke, all giants in stature. and armed with battle axes they present. ed formidable appearance and in many instances timid folks got into the houses and locked the doors when the parade turned into their street. The biggest political parade Naugatuck ever saw occurred In that year. The natives didn't expect 1t and when the boys struck the town they found 1t in darkness, but it did not take them long to Tumble" and in less than half an hour after they had heard the music, every oil lamp and tallow candle the people could get hold of was put into commission and the town never looked prettier. The Waterbury machine clubs were on their way to New Haven to par ticipate in parade but when they reached a point in the neighborhood of Naugatuck the train was derailed and it took so long to right matters it was too late to make the trip and 1t was decided to paint Naugatuck red and they did 1t. Most of them remained there until 1t was too late to catch a train and had to hoof 1t home along the highway, but they didn't care about that. In fact they got left on purpose just for the fun of cutting up all sorts of pranks on the homeward march. That Is 2S years ago, and while the distance from Waterbury to Naugatrck is just the same now as it was then a man who went down with the crowd and was the last to leave said to-day that Naugatuck is a great deal far ther from here now than it was in those days. He knew because he took stroll down there last Sunday and was so tired when he reached there he came home on a trolley car.

Al POKE AT THE EDITOR.

x. A POkE Al HE LDAAons Editor of Democrat:
 Will you kindly allow me to say few words in answer to an article printed in yesterday mornings Re- publican? I always respect news paper man, especially an editor. This man is an extraordinary man, but in looking over this article the reading of which foretold the bold ignorance of the writer I thought that the shoemaker. my neighbor, would make pretty fair editor. It was a poorly butchered up piece of work and not only would an article like this have a moral or educational ef- feet on it's intelligent readers if any, but a distasteful one. l am reading your paper every day and am aware of your attitude toward socialism, but I cannot accuse you of getting away from the truth in any case or misstating any statement given you by any representative of any party or organization and that alone should be enough to make any paper popular. It seems to me that the re- publicans still consider the mud slinging the best weapon in cam paign days.

WOMAN DRIVES OFF 100 MEN.
Armed With Cobblestones, She Re- peis Invasion of Squatter Rights.

pdis Invasion of Squatter Rights.
 New York, Oct 7.-"Get measured for coffin before you take a step on an inch of my property!"
 That was the challenge which came from the lips of an elderly and determined woman on Sherman street, small thoroughfare in South Brooklyn, early yesterday morning. The woman Is Mrs Nora Wallace, who had lived there under squatter sovereignty, the larger part of two score years. She paid no attention to the growth about her. She scout ed with contempt the tax bills and assessments for Improvements. She didn't know what gas was and gran ite walks she felt sure were but In the interests of chiropodists.
 Some weeks ago, however, Con- gressman William M. Calder, who is in the Calder Builder company, pur- chased the property abutting on of 1t and issued warning. She inti- mated, with emphasis, that if he ever put foot upon the property 1t would be when she was asleep or after her death. MT Calder tried diplomacy but Mrs Wallace wouldn't hearken to any advice.
 Yesterday, force of about 100 men, headed by James Bizga, who lives at No 300 West Twentieth street, Brooklyn, attempted to make entry. Sherman street begins in a bluff and. Bizga was ready to pro- ceed when Mrs Wallace stormed him and his aids with cobblestones. Her aim was accurate and Bizga and his men retreated.
 Come on and fight with wo- man." she cried, "and if ye do ye will remember 1t. Come on!" And a volley of stones made them all hesitate. They couldn't fight wo- man, though the woman was fight ing them, so the 100 men marched back and Mrs Wallace held the fort at Sherman street.
 Later, a complaint of assault was made against her by Bizga, and she was summoned to the Fifth avenue court. There, numerous witnesses on both sides appeared. Titles were displayed in evidence, and Magis- trate Geismar decided 1t was a case for the supreme court on the civil side.

TO ELECT SENATORS
BY POPULAR VOTE
SUCH rs PURPOSE OF PETITION
NOW ON STANDS.

At cigar stands and other public
places about the city yesterday were
placed petitions for the signatures of
qualified voters on the matter of d.
rect election of senators.
The petition asks that on the official
ballot at the next election there be
submitted to the voters the question
of a law providing for the expression
OF popular opinion as to the election
of senator's in this state.
The procedure necessary before the
petition can become actually law is as
follows. If 8 per cent of the voters
sign it. the question will be submitted
to the voters at the next election and
if 1t then gets a majority it will be-
come law.
The law asked for is that upon ev-
cry primary OF caucus ballot there
must be placed the names, in alpha
5betical order, of all men who intend to
become candidates for the senatorship
before the legislature. Any mar can
become a candidate who can get his
petition to that effect signed BY SO
voters.
So far there have not been many
signatures to the. petition, but since
its success would make 1t mandatory
on the legislature to elect as the sen
ator the peoples choice, it will prob
ably receive enough petitions before
long.

ment OF the Donoyan-Mc Cormick COM
pany together with all the wagons,

The officers are Jack R. Yates, pres

Mr. Yates is we'll known in this city.
For the past six years he has been
associated with John D. Losekamp in

Mr.. Huse came to Billings a little
more than two years ago from Fort

company.
Business Men Of Standing.
Mr.. Kelly came to this city two

All. the members of the firm are bus

are known for their integrity and
honest methods of doing business.
and the combination is an exceptions

The company will soon be incorpo.
