MILITARY BOYS TRIP
Orders Will Be Strictly Carried
 Out En Route.

The members of Companies A and G are supposed to assemble in the armory one hour before their hour of departure on Sunday evening. They will leave the station at 6::S0. Company A will be in sixth and sev- enth cars and Company G in the eighth and ninth cars.
 Judging from the orders the men will have to remain quiet while making the trip to Pine Plains. A guard will be stationed at the door of each car and no enlisted man will be allowed to go through without a written order. The men will be given strict instructions to report for meals regularly. There will he no riding on the platforms of cars and the military boys will not be allowed to sound instruments or shout out through the car windows.
 Company commanders of each town will receive from headquarters "block ticket" for the men of their command. This ticket will be good from home stations to Pine camp and return. The exact number of men must be accounted for on this ticket, including baggage or other details. The members of the local companies have been reading of the maneuvers of the men now at Pine camp and are rather anxious to reach there as they expect a rattling good time.

THoMAsToN NEXT.
Electric Cars Will Be Running by
 First of September.

Now that the trolley is running to Quassapaug many undoubtedly are anxious to know when the cars will be spinning to Thomaston, the line over which there has been so much contention. Although the trolley company has a force of men and large amount of apparatus on the connecting link of the line, they will have to rush to have it ready by the first of September.
 Immediately after the company came to terms with the city and the points which had been holding up the line settled, the company start ed to put the finishing touches on the line. There is vast amount of work to be done near the Thom- aston-Waterbury boundary and as stated it will take much time even though the work is pushed along. The company is now building the wall near the river which will form the outside part of the road.
 City Engineer Cairns said this morning that the road might be ready the first of September but this is the earliest that 1t will be done unless the contractors make more headway than is expected of them. According to the engineer the city will not have to do any work there perhaps for some years. It may be necessary to run the steam roller over the road nearby when the road is finished, but all work for the present will be done by the company.

THE POLICE COURT.
Reuben Jenkins Fined $f5 for Utter
 ing a Forged Check.

To-day seemed to be colored mems day in the city court. The public seats were crowded with the brethren. their interest no doubt be- Ing centered in the only case, Reu- ben Jenkins, colored, charged with uttering a forged check for SIP. Jenkins admitted his guilt. He tried to have the Levy Bros on South Main street cash the check but, ac- cording to his story they told him it was little bad" Then he tried 1t on Bernat Holczer, purchasing a pair of shoes for s3.50 and receiv- ing the balance in cash. The check was signed "Dr NJ. l.. Frost" Hol- czer knew only one doctor of that name in town, Dr c. w. S. Frost, and he telephoned him If he had such a man as John Green in his employ. The doctor answered that he had not, whereupon Holczer knew he was stuck and he informed the police.
 The check was drawn to the order of John Green" and Jenkins said he got 1t from Green last February, when he was in Dr Frost's employ. Where Green now Is he does not know. Holczer asked him why he had not cashed the check before and Jenkins told him he was trying to save up for the Fourth. A fine of s16 and costs was imposed.
 This morning Jenkins's father made good the amount with Holczer.

NAUGATUCK STREETS.
Rubber Borough Has Its Troubles
 About Layouts.

Waterbury is not the only place that is having trouble about layou.s of streets and other public improve ments. Down in Naugatuck last night several parties were heard
 before the warden and burgesses regarding the layout of Ward street. Some claimed damages while others would be willing to call it square provided the borough would agree to give them retaining walls. This sounds somewhat strange. but per- haps the law relative to retaining walls in Naugatuck is different from the one in Waterbury. which obliges the city. to construct retaining walls along public highways wherever they are needed. If this law holds good in Naugatuck, and we suspect 1t does, the Ward street folks who stated that they shall not claim damages if the city constructs re- taining walls abutting their proper ty. have not asked anything at all. for If the borough creates a con- dition that necessitates retaining walls the law obliges l. to build them. Of course the cost of such walls is unavoldably made a part of the estimate of the work and aIl the owners of property affected by the layout pay something towards it. but in. any case 1t Is up to the city 10 have the work done and foot the bill out of the public fund

 the Immaculate Conception church
 by the Rev J. E. 0'Brien.

 The street committee to which was referred with power to act the peti- tion of Sanderson Bros to erect and maintain banner across Center street, has filed an unfavorable re- port with the clerk. They claim that they investigated the matter very thoroughly and found objection to the use of banners for this purpose almost general. Mir Sanderson was fair about it and wanted nothing that could not be given him without in any way interfering with N.e rights of others.
 The contractor who has the paw ing job on Bishop and Elizabeth streets is said to be like the genuine Virginia creeper, he gets around so slowly. For three weeks the people who travel Bishop street have put up with all manner of inconvenience, and progress has been so slow on the job that 1t is scarcely noticeable. The people are beginning to conl- plain and it Is now evident that had they done so before the contractor would have made better headway. Both Bishop and Elizabeth streets are torn up. Deep holes are to be met with along the new curbstores All kinds of menaces are in the way of the pedestrian and all because this contractor will not get a gait on. To-day there did not seem to be half a dozen men on the job.

Yes fifteen years ago Tom Lawson

Grand River Kentucky and built a
great warehouse that cost twenty
thousand dollars. IT could not be

thousand. Well, the Farmers Union

UNION BANKS ARE ESSENTIAL
To SUCCESSFUL POOLING


Brethren:-I propounded a few
questions in few issues ago, tina: |
thought would bring, out, plainly
and clearly, the above topic. But as
yet, | have not heard a note from any
ones horn. OF course it has been
said, that silence gives consent. but
| cant tell by your silence which
way you think, but | hope you are
thoroughly considering those ques-
tions.
Now, if we would get the best of
these columns, We must agitate such
questions as in which we are concern
ed, keeping straight down the line,
and taking good care not to fool with
any little side show that may be stuck
up at Us.
Back to the subject Well. have
quite a little opposition to the Far
mers' Union Banks, which | trust is
the honest and sincere opinion Of
those who are opposing, but it seems
to me that if we would look at it,
hat it is not merely a scheme to
benefit those who have the money to
put in bank stock, but ii is more to
help the poor, so that by tiding them
over panics that We may accomplish
what have started in to accomplish.
Take for instance, the view. that
there are three of the farmers
that have pooled their tobacco this
year, that have to have, or actually
need, an advance on their tobacco Of
say, 80 or 90 per cent. Could We of
any certointy, provide them any
suchl That question was answered
last fall by the banks Of, not only
Crittenden county, but of all this
nation.
Now, Farmers, take warning by
what has already transpired. want
1t understood strictly, that | am not
censuring any banker in the State of
Kentucky, for what happened in the
banking business. Let the blame be
placed where it belong, upon the
shoulder Of the farmer Upon the
men who are the very foundrtiou Of
the banking business, as well As all
other enterprises. Pretty broad as
,ertion isen't it? But il takes no
proof to verify that assertion Just Law
down that little self interest and
think for one moment, and you are
convinced Of the facts, that if the
farmert didn't trade with the business
man, that the business man could not
do a banking business further if the
farmers did not borrow and deposit,
the banks wouldn't pay clerks and
high taxes to do business So down
goes tn" bank as well as every other
institution, without the hand Of hon
est toll and production
Now, brethren. that we are emery
ing upon the pooling business. lets
not be SO silly as to make one pro-
mise that we cannot fulfill.
1t is a undeniable, that all
the tobacco 10 our Union cannot be
thrown upon the market at stripping
time, and | the "Houest Toller'
realize a Just and equitable price for
It, SO, we must pool, and if we
must pool les use every incentive
possible to aid our weak and distress.
