.LEAWTTS IN EUROPE,
THEIR HOME PLUNDERED

DENVER, Colo. Jan. 8-Nrs. Ruth
Bryan Leavitt, W. J. Bryan's daughter,
is in Europe with her husband. The
tenants she left in her house moved out
a week ago Today a neighbor heard
a dog bowling in the house, found q
door open, and liberated the animal. He
also found q scene of Wreckage and
called others to investigate with him.
Every drawer had been emptied on
the floor, the private letters and papers
OF the Leavitts we're scattered over the
house, furniture and dishes were broken.
and every electric bulb In the house had
been shattered. The floor was strewn
with draperIes, broken glass and china.
Apparently nothing had been stolen,
but the marauders had destroyed every
thing IN sight
No one had been seen about the house
by ncighbOrs since the lessees left.

j. S. WILL FORCE
COAL TRUST To
REVEAL SECRETS

Uncle sam IS getting ready to start e
new sort Of war on the Anthracite Coal
trust.
The old gentleman wants 10 know
how much money the Coal trust earns,
and what is done with it. The Anthra-
cite trust is headed BY the Reading
Company. which holds securities repre-
senting control of the Reading railway.
and a long chain OF mining companies
that practically control the anthracite
business OF the country.
Because the Reading Company de-
clines 10 answer questions about it1
business, the Government is planning
TO start a mandamus proceeding TO ex-
tract the desired facts.
There Is already pending a good deal
OF litigation in which the trust is in
volved, under the antitrust act; and
one dlfdculty about getting on with that
litigation has been the impOssibility CT
getd7E accurate information about the
business Of the remarkable chain OF
corporations that constitute the trust.
Power having been given by a recent
law to demand this information, the
Reading company has declined to COM
ply, claiming that II does not come
within the definition which the law pre-
scribes OF corporations subject 10 this
requirement. The Government, being
from Missouri, proposes to be shown,
and therefore Is getting ready TO start
proceedings in mandamus 10 force an
answer. Heavy penalties are provided
by the law, and IL is expected the cor
poration viii fight 20 the last ditch.
II Is said that a detailed showing OF
the relations OF the corporations IN the
anthracite trust, and OF their profits IN
recent years, would startle people who
buy hard coal al present prices, and
would be almost certain 10 cause a de-
mand for some effective method OF
bringing the price down 10 a reasonable
basis.

The second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Newtown Water Company was held at the Probate Office, Saturday evening, at 7.30 o'clock, for the purpose of electing di- rectors for the ensuing year, and to hear the report of the treasurer. $50 odd out of the 800 shares of stock was voted. The entire board of directors was reelected and are as follows: c. B. Taylor, w. H. Hubbell, L. c. Nor w. J. Beecher, D. c. Peck, A. J. Smith and William A. Leonard. The re- port of the treasurer conclusively proved that the company for the first year of its existence to be in a very satisfactory condition, and showed that on the first day of January 19OS,- there was only S25, uncollected water rents, and about 50 patrons; that the company had paid this year all the operating expenses, including the in- terest on'th mortgage, and had run a new line of pipe across Coles Hill at an expense of several hundred dollars; !; and all out of the earnings. This, for the first year, is considered to be doing very well indeed; and it is the opinion of the directors that the earnings for the year 1908 will warrant the pay ment of dividend within the year. At the close of the meeting of the stock holders, the directors met and elected the following officers for the year\ en- suing: President, c. B. Taylor; Vice President, D. c. Peck; treasurer. L. c. Morris; secretary, William A. Leon- ard; executive committee, consisting of three, Messrs Peck, Leonard and Smith. William B. Glover, superin- tendent.

THE T0YMAKERS. IAN IDEAL
 MUSICAL ABSURDITY, IEDAL-
 LY PLAYED.
 From the moment the curtain rises on "The Toymakers," the new musi- cal absurdity by Charles Felton Pid- gin, author of 'the best New Eng land book ever written, Quincy -Ad- ans Sawyer" laughter is continuous and the piece gives unalloyed pleasure to all of the audience. It is due at the Opera House on Friday evening, February IA. for one night only and unless all signs fail, seats are going to be at premium. "The Toymakers" is a pretty little story of an electric doll, brought to life through the medi- um of electricity and any number of screamingly funny things happen as result. The story is not so involved as to tire one, yet is thoroughly interest ing and holds the attention of the audi ence from the start. "The Jollities" |" is brilliant company of comedians and comediennes, singers and dancers and for the production of "The Toy makers" they are bringing with them all their own scenery and costumes. The scene is laid in a typical old Eng fish toyshop. MT Pidgin's style is al- ready familiar to both book lovers and theatre-goers, through the enormous success of "Qunicy Adams Sawyer" " both as book and as play. He has written "The Toymakers," originally as book and from it the play has been taken, so that this, too, will appeal to both book-lovers and theater-goers. Tickets are now on sale at Frank B. Soule's stationery store.

A WORD FOR THE NEW READING
 ROOM.


 Editor of The Newtown Bee: Your New Preston correspondent about two weeks ago noted the fact that an or ganization had been formed which shall be known as ''The New, Preston Read ing Room Association" Now. as an earnest advocate of this project we feel that something more on that subject should be sad through your paper, that it's readers, especially those who have an interest in this little village may understand more fully about the mat ter. A. c. Caskey, the promoter of the scheme, has kindly offered to give all the monthly and weekly periodicals for the year 1908, commencing with the January issue. A suitable room has been procured in Pavilion hall free of charge, F. J. Hosford has generous ly offered to heat said room for the year, Edward P. Lyman donated oil ! for 1908. We could not help but feel by this unsolicited donation from him that he was imbibed with the spirit of his late father, Hon c. P. Lyman, who was first and foremost in his contribp- tions for every public good. Others, de- string their names withheld, gave the lamps. But with every new project there are many incidental expenses and it is the purpose of the association to make the room as inviting and cheery as possible. Now the question arises, can it be maintained? And a more po- tent one still, can we, as good citizens afford to loose Mir Caskey's offer? Can we afford to lose this opportunity of having in this village one place where every one, especially the young people, can meet and be surrounded by those influences, which can only be a benefit intellectually and morally. sNo citizen .should say, II have no interest in the scheme or that, ''I am we'll supplied with reading matter in my own home." Others are not and it is just as much a duty, to place good stepping stones in the pathway of our young and thereby help to make them good citizens of this republic, as it was for our forefathers to found it. MT and Mrs Caskey are greatly interested in this project and we hope that it will meet with such generous support on the part of our cit izens, that we shall be able to state through your paper at very early date. 'The New Preston Reading Room an assured success"
 Postmaster Hosford of New Preston desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural de- livery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on 7 the service of their routes. The post master, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand supply of stamps consistent with and in ad- vance of their needs. It is also very , desirable that rural patrons place in < their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing sup plies of stamps,
