Jack Kane in Trouble.

Jack Kane is in trouble and it is
all because he looked upon that LIQUID
which they declare cannot be sold in
Ottumwa. He got into a fight with
Creole Hollingsworth and Monday
morning he was before Squire Falvey,
where he was bound over to the grand
jury. His bond was placed at 500
and this he gave. He struck Hollings-
worth with brick and the blow was
such as to break the nose Of the young
man. The charge against Kane is as
sauit with intent to commit great
bodily injury.

Strong arguments are be- ing presented by both sides, and the question is being well discussed. There has been erected in Great Harrington and Housatonic billboard for the use of the no-license workers, which is something that has not been done for years.

THE FASCINATING CAREER or
 MISS PETTICoATs."

The heroine of this famous play caught the attention of the play-go- Ing public immediately on it's pFo- duction at the great Boston theater, and made q pronounced hit because of her very original and charming personality. When first damatized from the book and produced at the Boston theater about five years ago, 1t scored an immense success, and the critics were unanimous in pro- nouncing 1t "a strong emotional play, fun of wholesome comedy and a quaint wit, that appeals to an old theater-goer." Therein was the se- cret of the success of Miss Petit coats." It pleased the old h&bitue of the theater, who is looking for. a new sensation, and found in this original play that pungent, spicy at mosphere which is like the real New England people themselves, where the play was laid. No more inter- esting scenes can be imagined than the shores of an old whaling port like New Bedford, where in the quaint cabin home of a derelict whaler Agath Renier, called Miss Petticoats" as a pet name by her grandfather, made her home, until brought into the high and mighty seats of the rich. She graduates even from that set to the artistic cir cles of Paris, where as the Countess Fornay she creates a sensation, and finally returning to her native home, triumphs over all her former ene' mics, wko have made her life inter- esting to her and the audience. There are many droll and unique characters peculiar to New England, who furnish great fun and frolic, that give the play delightfully."- fresh environment. A powerful company, who carry their own new and artistic scenery descriptive of these fascinating scenes. will pre- sent Miss Petticoats" at the New Milford Opera house on Thursday, April l, under the auspices of Good Shepherd lodge, No. 65, l. o. o.

MT and Mrs Charles Planz have a son, born Monday night.
 Charles I. Leach, the Church street grocer, calls your attention to the "Occident" special patent flour which is now on sale at his store This flour is the result of yearsof eX- perimenting, based on the belief that flour of extra nigh quality is ap- preciably better than any other OF the market and would sell at a little higher price than the regular pat ents. The results have proven that the theory was correct. The eXtrava- gant buyer does not care for the ex- tra cost, provided he receives the eX- tra quality, and the economical buyer readily sees the economy: that Fis, bread at a slightly increased cost is still the cheapest food on the table and better bread mean a greater consumption of cheap foods and a smaller consumption of the more eX- pensive foods, and the extra price which the consumer is willing to pay enables the millers to make a higher grade flour. MT Leach has just been able to introduce the "Oc- cident" and guarantees that it IS superior to all others in purity, ttay- or, color, fine loat texture, and general goodness. "Occident" costs a trifle more than other Hours.

Last Saturday night some one broke into a hen house belonging to Edward Peterman and killed num- bel of his hens by wringing their necks, and then lief! leaving the dead fowls lying on the ground. We could tolerate a hungry man stealing chicken to eat but when one does such things for spite or on account of the meal npss of their dis position a little neck wringing would be good for them.

KING LEOPOLD.

There is little sorrow over the
death of King Leopold, OF Belgium.
The old maxim that nothing but good
should be written of the dead is not
being followed in this instance. If 1t
we're there would probably be nothing
said of the departed monarch. Few
loved or honored him. He had some
good qualities but his vices were SO
palpable and SO numerous that they
completely obscured the better qpaii-
ties. The following estimate OF the
king from the Knoxville Sentinel
while severe, is fully justified:
AS seen in his portraits, the viking
face of the dead king Of the Belgians'
steely hard, betrayed no emotion He
seemed to live without consulting MS
heart. He cared apparently for the
love of neither family nor subjects.ln
his case it would be absurd delicacy
TO ignore the bad and to speak only
of the good in him merely because ne
has paid his debt to nature. Leopold
has been called ultra modern because
his business investments have been
successful but he earned the money
he put into American railway bonds
and stocks as a ruler and not as a
business man. AS a ruler he carries
one back to Cortes, Pizarro or better
vet to Crassus. This colleague OF
Caesar went to Syria as pro-consui
ostensibly to chastise the Parthians
and to restore order to the distracted
province. but in fact to plumber the
Syrian temples and to wiring taxes
from the people beneath his rule. IL
was so that Leopold used the Congo
after he got it into his grasp. In the
early stages OF the Congo business ne

CORPORATION LAWYERS.

According to a special olspatcii
from Nashville to the New YORK
American there was objection among
members of the bar of TerrfGSfo -
Tho confirmation of Judge Lurton be-
cause of his alleged leaning to cor
rorations. Three or four OF the de-
c,sions of the Justice on corporation
questions are cited as proof OF MS
lack of sympathy for the rights OF

care with which he guards the righeS
of property. 1t is further stated Una.

that he is incompetent to pass upon

IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

Two years ago a Democratic Coun-
ty Committee was selected in Mont
gomery County That committee met
a month ago and by a majority OF one
vote endorsed the administration OF
Gov Patterson. Last Thursday the
Democrats of the county held another
primary and elected a new Committee
Endorsement of Patterson was the Is
sue. The Governors friends elected
three members out of twenty-six. Not
much encouragement for the Cover
nor in that result.
Probably the Governor has discov-
cred or will find out that it is a very
different matter. this thing OF getting
an endorsement from a packed com
mittee that represents no one but the
bosses and obtaining the approval OF
the eople. Perhaps other commit
tees will read the lesson from Mont
eomery and save themselves from the
embarrassment of their friends in that
county. 1t Is better TO consult INC
people and then act, much safer than
acting before ascertaining the wishes
of the people whom you purport to
represent.
From now on we shall porbaDiy
have fewer snap committee meetings
to pass cut and dried resolutions, The
verdict in Montgomery county ought
to have a salutary effect. 1t should
stay the hands of the Patterson senti'
ment manufacturers for a time at
least. Committees are not chosen to
name candidates for office, although
since every delegate to the last State
convention was named by committee
of three, members Of these bodies
naturally have come to have
an exaggerated opinion of their pow
ers. But the people have spoken ano
they have spoekn in q language that
cannot be misunderstood.

Because their superior ability and ex'

them from acceptable service upon

unjust spirit that would argue that
the legal representatives OF the great

would be just as logical to argue that

aAck TO THE FARM.

Hinder the above title the Mt Pleas
ant Record makes some sensible OBJ
seryations on the changed and con
.tantly changing conditions Of farm
life II predicts that within short
time degrees for proficiency in the
I,.towIedge Of agriculture will be a
ruch sought and as eagerly priced as
degrees in science, art and literature
The Record says:
1T is gratifying to note the move
ment everywhere manifest to insist on
instruction in our public schools IL
the elements of agriculture. The time
when anybody can be farmer" ano
when the "hayseed" is the humorists
type of ignoramus and pumpkins has
passed, or is rapidly passing. the
successful farmer OF the future Is e
he the man of intelligence and etuca
ton who follows his vocation With az
much self-respect and progressiveness
as does the ldNySib tHO a.
engineer. or any other professional
man. The farmer OF the future VIII
be student OF agriculture who used
not only hands but head to produce
results. 1t will be but a few years
we predict. until our colleges and uni
yersities will confer the degree OF
Bachelor of Agriculture with as great
dignity as they now bestow degrees OF
Bachelor of Engineering, of Law, OF
Medicine, or Of any other profession.
Farming has entered the profitable
class of employments to stay. Intelli'
gently conducted, the farm produces
the safest and the surest profits OF any
industry. 1t Is on his product that
the very existence of the human race
depends. With no grain, no meat
produced, human life cannot exist.
The profession OF farming, therefore,
rests at the very foundation Of human
existence and is the basis Of all hu-
man existence and is the basis OF all
human endeavor."
