PROPERTY OWNERS WONDERING
Why They Are Asked to Put Price on
 Real Estate.

Property owners in the eastern section of the city are wondering what all this investigation means re- garding the price of land in that part of the town. Already several people in Mill Plain who own tracts of land have been asked to put price upon 1t, but the prospective purchasers re- fuse to give any information regard ing the use they intend to put the land to. It Is believed, however, that manufacturers are trying to get hold of land fin that part of the town but so far nobody has offered enough to induce anybody to part with his ho.d- ing. Choice factory sites are none too plenty in Waterbury at this time and people who own lots abutting upon water privileges will not be likely to have to hold onto them much longer, provided that they don't want to get fortune in exchange for them.

SMOKE NUISANCE
Department of BesDih Should
 Watch Smoke Consumers.

The article in the Democrat the other day regarding scheme of do- ing away with nuisance caused by smoke from the factories has oc- casioned lot of talk, and many hope to see 1t tried here. In several DOT tions of the city handsome private residences are practically ruined on account of smoke from the mills, and if the trouble can be avoided without inficting hardship upon the con cerns, no time should be lost in apply ing the remedy. This is something the department of health should look into. They are trying the experiment in Hartford, and if 1t works well, there is no reason why it should not meet the situation in Waterbury.

"DANIEL O'CONNELL."
Another Stage Rehearsal Will Be
 Held This Evening.

Everything now points to one of the most successful amateur theatri- cal productions that this city has ever seen when the cast of characters which is rehearsing the pretty Irish drama, Daniel OConnell," presents the same in City hall on St Patrick's afternoon and evening. It was not expected that matinee performance would be given, but the demand for tickets has been so generous that the Ladies' auxiliary of the A. O. H., under whose auspices the play is being produced, felt that they could not accommodate all who wished to see the presentation at one perform ance, and the matinee has been de- cided upon. This part of the per formance will begin at 2:15 in the afternoon and all the ladies and chill dren who cannot be present in the evening will have an opportunity to be there in the afternoon. The mat inee admission will be 10 and 20 cents.
 The play is one of the most inter- esting of the thousands of Irish dramas that have come from the pens of many play writers. All lovers of the little green isle will find in the various scenes, "reminiscences of their old home across the water. It is clean and wholesome produc- tion and tells of the brighter side of Irish life in the old country and does away with all the red coated sol diery, evictions and other distateful incidents. At the evening perform ance handsome souvenir programmes will be presented to each person present. A grand social and dance will follow the play. all for the one admission. Reserved seat tickets will go on sale next Saturday morn- ing at Finn's shoe store and you can procure them at the box office on the night of the performance. Be- tween the acts appropriate selections will be rendered by the best of tal- ent.

Has Not Disposed of Physicians Case
 Vet

It looks as though Dr ]. I. Gnncher. physician for Star of Waterbury lodge, I. O. E. A, would be dropped at the next meeting. It was thought that the members of the lodge would dispose of the matter yesterday, but it was allowed to go over until next Sunday. Dr Gancher Is one of the few physicians retained hy lodge when the recent clash between lodge doctors and the lodges came. It Is said at that time he made prOpOsi tion to the lodge that those who could afford to pay should pay him when he attended them, whi,e those who had not the money would be given his services gratis. But accord ing to the lodge members he now wishes S2 for every call he makes on every member.

Told of Life in Wyoming at St Fran
 cis Xayier's Yesterday.

The Right Rev ]. ]. Keane of the diocese of Cheyenne, which en- braces the entire state of Wyoming. spoke at St Francis xavier's church yesterday. He Is a very entertaining speaker and in very brief address told a great deal about life in that part of the country. It is almost as large as all New England. with New York thrown in. and yet there are but eighteen priests to minister to the spiritual needs of over 11!nr0 Catholics scattered all over the state. No priest lives nearer than 12T miles ta another and it Is nothing unusual for families to drive 6o or % miles fo attend divine service Bishop Keane made an urgent and eloquent appeal for aid. which vas answered hy a generous collection.

Hon. Tom Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Allow me to assure you
Of my sincere friendship and of my
vote for the highest position on earth.
And to explain for the benefit Of 9th
er free voters a few reasons for my
conviction that this is in the interest
of the people of the United States. I
mean all of the people, rich and poor,
black Or white, male and female.
First. I believe you are honest and
sincere in all yotr public utterances
and in the use Of your vote and in
fuence on the disposition and settle
ment Of public affairs.
And [ believe that honesty in pub
lie life is the only safe policy for
this government, for the protection Of
liberty and life as we'll as for prop
erty.
A dishonest or corrupt administra-
ton Of this government must inevita-
bly, result in contempt of law as we'll
as In contempt and hatred of the
authors and administrators thereof,
and this must be dangerous and de-
structive of all the rights which we,
as free men, hold sacred. Allow me
to say that my opinion Of you is
based upon a knowledge of your at
titude on all the issues that come be-
fore the people and that you have in
variably proved by your actions, as
we'll as your words, that you are
free and clear Of all connection,

direct to my home, Petersburg, Mich,

AS to the political situation, it is
a mixed state, changes all around. If
you could be here for one night it
would take like wild fire, but know
it is more important for you to look
after your own state. I have given
out over 100 of your speeches Of ac-
ceptance. Enclosed find clippings

R. F. D. l.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson spoke at
Madison last Wednesday, the 23rd
instant, to large audience composed
Of the most intelligent men and wo-
men from Morgan and adjacent coun-
ties. His speech was we'll received
and enthusiastically applauded. There
was nothing acrimonious in it's make
up, and nothing was said which the
Honorable Hoke, nor our friend, Billy
Bryan, could take exception to. It
was clear presentation of facts as
they exist.
We believe that this speech was
great vote maker, as we heard a great
many people remark, ct came here
expecting to vote for Bryan, but
since hearing Mr.. Watson's speech, I
shall vote for him."

FROM AN OLD VET.

Fort Gaines, Ca, Oct. 5, 1908.
Dear Mr.. Watson: Personal in
juries by railroad, sickness and un-
toward events have left me poor in
deed, but I enclose ST. for your ma
tional campaign, as freewill offer
ing of an cold Confederate.
The recent outrages near the up
per James, in Buckingham county,
Va, have recalled to me the BRAVERY
Of your Uncle Billy. If he were alive
and back in that dear old state, he
would be the hero to smite the ban
dts and lead the charge upon their
rock walls. One such hero could
"chase a thousand, and two, put ten
thousand to flight" from their hid
ing places.
Cordially yours,
w. A. SCOTT.

The only thing there is in the way
to keep nearly every one from accept
ing the Populist, or Jeffersonian, De-
mocracy, doctrine and principles is
that those who are not Of this belief
will not turn out to hear the doctrine
explained and expounded. "There
are none so blind as those who will
not see.
We believe, however, that if our
leader, Honorable Tom Watson, keeps
"pegging away" the people will
eventually imbibe this doctrine, and
true Jeffersonian Democracy will once
more be reinstated in this fair land Of
ours. A. III. MALLORY.

Dear Sir: Doubtless you will be
surprised at this communication, as
it is my first to you, but may not be
the last. l have been for you and the
cause you represent for a number Of
years. I was instrumental in carry
ing Oconee county for the PopulistS
in 1894 Il think that the date) and
have been a true-blue ever since. [
know we have many a blow that
strikes below the belt, but neverthe-
less, if we stand to the helm, some
day we may see victory written on the
front of a dazzling crown, the crown
that an honest body of people
have fought hard to win and which
they deserve.
We have quite a number of Popu-
lists in Toombs county and I think
you will make good score on cleo
ton day.
With best wishes, I am yours in the
fight,

Dear Sir: The indications are that
the old Democratic party is about
to be destroyed. You are fighting it
in the South, and Hearst in the North,
West and South. If the "solid
South can be broken up, this will
be the end Of the Democratic party
and we can then have national issues
discussed on their merits: We shall
not have to go back to ante-bellum
times and talk about negro slavery
and tariff for revenue only.

TAFT OR MAKES BUT

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Another time for the
American people to show whether they
are wise or foolish is near at hand.
Only little more than a month till
election day. [ think they will clearly
demonstrate that the majority Of
people are not capable Of self-govern-
ment, not wise enough to vote for
their own interests. 1t will be Taft
or Bryan I am like Hartman
''it makes but little difference. z" The
power behind the throne is about the
same. The corporations will control
in either case.
Mr. Bryan doesn't want (?) COR
porations to contribute anything to
his campaign fund, but asks individual
members thereof to send in their
checks. This deception is so palpable
that a blind man can see it. And

Bryan managers are calling for con-
tributions of one dollar, or more, from
each voter. I predict the greatest
corruption fund in the history Of this
or any other country, and many a
poor fellow that can't have meat
three times day will pay a dollar
to have the shackles riveted.
I wish to say, my dear Sir, that
while many here have "bowed the
knee to Baal" there are a few Of us
that have not, nor will we ever. We,
as Texans, are proud Of the Alamo,
and, politically, we will emulate their
example, and it may be our posterity
will reap the reward of our fidelity to
our country. I must say that you and
our principles are recently growing in
favor with the more intelligent here,
and I believe that if, by some means,
the dark clouds Of ignorance through
prejudice could at once be rolled back,
you would be the next president. But
alas, the stupidity Of humanity!
May the Lord bless you.
