HERE'S THE TRUTH


The American last night quoted ]
b. Mullings as !. saying about thai
paper:
I'VE have always depended on the
American as our principal medium
for reaching the public, but this yeaI
we used more space than we ever did
before. We also made extensive use
OF the semi-weekly edition of the Am
erican, as well as the daily American
Our business from outlying towns as
far. as Winsted, Torrington, Thomas
ton and Ansonia, showed a marked
Increase, and testified to. the opportu-
nifty your semi-weekly affords for at
tracing the trade of the Naugatuck
Valley"
Mr. Mullings says in an interview
with the Democrat:
Il did compliment them, but ! was
careless and should have written the
article myself" He says further that
he never gave the American semi
weekly the credit they claim for
business received from outlying
towns. He said it would be foolish
on his part to do so after advertising
in the papers of the towns mentioned.
As to the Republicans statement that
that paper had 200 inches more than
the other dailies, Mr. Mullings says 1t
must be because they put in advertis-
ing without authority. But here take
notice. AS the writer was leaving
the store he met George Mullings al
the door and asked him what he
thought of the American and Repub-
lican statements. He replied: I'VE
do not give the American the credit
they claim. | heard my father tell
Mr. Conner before the sale that the
Democrat was the best advertising
medium in the city,
The writer then went back and
told Mr. Mullings what his son said.
Mr. Mullings hesitated moment or
two, and then said: "Yes, l think ]

Lees Summit, Mo, Feb ga
Charles S. Brown, pastor of the
Christian church of this city, has
been exposed and driven out of the
church for drunkenness and GAM
bling. His strong personality a, d
ability as an orator made for him A
host of friends, and after winnirg
the esteem and confidence of the con-
gregation he began to borrow money.
The suspicion of those who made
the loans was aroused and an inves-
tgation was made. 1t was found
that Brown played poker and drank
while in Kansas City recently, and
after his return here a statement
was demanded. ...

FLAGS FLOATING.
Stars and Stripes FLYING in Washing

The severe weather conditions of
the past few weeks put some of the
flag poles about town out of commits
sion, but owners didn't know this un-
til this morning when they tried tc
hoist their flags in honor of George
Washington and found that the pull
leys wouldn't work. Nevertheless
the majority of people with flags took
care to have them floating in the
breeze to-day even though they were
not flying on the poles. Almost all
the factories were closed and this af-
ternoon seemed like a real holiday on
the streets. There were many events
TO celebrate the day and the interest
taken in the anniversary showed that
the name of Washington is apparent
iy becoming grander In the eyes

]. E. HARRINGTON CASE
Some HOt Arguments In Dis.
tricl Court To-day.

James E. Harrington who kept &
lunch room on East Main street was
the subject of warm and somewhat
exciting arguments at short calendar
in the district court to-day. There
was a motion before Judge Cowel
to eliminate costs of SIT in the at
tachment of James f. Berry of Hart
ford against Harrington on the
grounds that the attachment was il.
legal and therefore costs could not
be allowed Berry's claim against
Harrington was for $3.50. He sold
foods stuffs to him, and claims fraud
on his part.
Attorney T. F. Carmody represent.
ed Berry and Attorney Cassidy APP
peared for Harrington, who is said
to be in business in Schenectady, N.
Y.
Harrington sold his restaurant
business to Greek named Mario,
and there is some question about the
price he received for it. Attorney
Carmody claims 1t was $1,000; At
torney Cassidy claims it was far be-
low that sum, 5000.
Anyhow, Attorney Cassidy claim
ed there was no fraud. The usual
notice of intended sale of the
restaurant was filed in the town
clerks Office, but Attorney Carmody
claims 1t was defective, in that it
contained none of the conditions Of
the sale and therefore 1t was minus
the specific element which it should
have to make it legal. After the sale
of the business to Mario, Berry put
on an attachment for $3.50, and to-
day he asked for judgment, with
costs, of ST..
Attorney Cassidy, in opposing the
motion, contended that as a judg-
ment holds good for twenty years his
client may accumulate some proper
ty in that time and if Judgment for
what he claimed illegal costs was
allowed, his property would be in
danger thereby. He said Harring-
ton has no property now. If Har-
rington told Attorney Carmody he
had $500 he stated what was not so.
He did not receive $1,000 for the
business and he did not defraud
anyone of his just claims. Decision
was reserved.

MR. SIEGERSON IDLE.
Pending Investigation BY Public
Works Board Committee.

So far nothing definite has been
done regarding the charges preferred
against the night Waterman at the
city yard by DR. Dwyer and DR. Hayes.
The matter has been referred to a
committee consisting Of Commission
ers Walker and Hook of the depart
ment of public works, but they have
not yet met Mr. Sigerson. In the
meantime the accused has been laid
off pending action on the matter. The
charge is that the physicians mention
ed were called from the city yard at
2 o'clock on the morning of January
10 and requested to hurry to the re-
sidence of Daniel Foley on Baldwin
street. Mr. Sigerson positively denies
any knowledge OF such a thing and
appears TO have no doubt of being
able TO establish his innocence when
he meets the committee. A hearing
has been set for Monday and it is ex-
pected that the finding will be re-
ported TO the mayor and board OF
public works Tuesday night.

The Tribune 19 Years Old.

On March ,, 1889, the first is- sue of the Green Forest Tribune was printed. The paper is there- fore nineteen years old this week.
 During the period of it's exist ence the paper it has had its full share of ups and downs, especially the latter; but it is yet full of youthful vigor and feels that it's career of usefulness, like the future of the country, is yet promising.
 From an almost insignificant crossroads trading point, we have seen Green Forest take a front seat among the leading railroad towns of the country. We have seen many of the things we have strenuously advocated fully realized and more. While the country's progress has been slow, it has been sure, and we firmly believe that the greatest possibilities are yet to be de- veloped.
 The Tribune delights in the fact that it lives among one of the most happy and contented people on the earth, and that is not put ting it whit to strong either. We have not the great wealth of many other sections, neither have we the misery and suffering that occasionally if not often be- falls the masses that go to make up the population of such sec- tions.
 It matters but little with this country whether the financial school keeps or not, we live on just about after the same fashion.
 The Tribune was never more certain of the ultimate greatness of this country than it is today and we expect the pace of prog ress to increase as the months go hV.
