1t is no easy matter to reason out
what sort of "critter" the Athena
dog poisoner really is. One thing is
a sure bet, however. and that is he is
encased in a very thick hide and is
utterly conscienceless the vitrolic
shafts that are being darted at his
kind by nearly everyone would cause
him to crowd into his hole and pull
the hole in after him. Evidently the
detestible cur, whoever he may be,
and whose companionship would
stultify the dogs he seeks to slay,
hasn't even the attribute of that lowly
instinct of nature, for as late as Tues
day another parcel Of his dlabolical
dope was discovered in time to pre-
vent another dog murder. One Of
these fine days that reward of $l75
will Ee taken up by somebody, and
when it is taken up there will be no
"I-told-you- SOS" expressed, for the
identity of the dog murderer will be
a surprise to the community.

Every corner of Europe is seething
with unrest and the future is full of
uncertainty. In Finland it looks as
if Russian aggression would destroy
the last vestige of autonomy. Greece
promises to force the addiction of the
king through the military dictatorship
that has been growing for several
months. Spain is still feeling the
effects of the death of Ferrer, the
Catalonian revolt and the unpoularity
of the Moroccan war. The visit of
the czar of Russia to Italy is resented
by Austria and probably means the
early dissolution of the triple alliance
and the alignment of Italy and Great
Britain, France and Russia. Germany
and Britain are still suspicious of each
other. Taking it altogether Europe is
very like keg Of gunpowder into
which almost any day a lighted match
may be dropped with disasterous re-
suits. Most certainly it will need cool
headed diplomacy and the strongest
influence of peace loving rulers and
statesmen to restore harmony and re.
place suspicion with confidence.

A Good Position.

and women in the field of "Wiroless" "
and Railroad telegraphy. Since the
8-hour law became effective. and since
the Wireless companies are esta blish-

there is great shortage of telegraph

to 800 per month, with good chance
for advancement. The National Tele,

1t is no longer denied that dairying
is one of the greatest and most profit
able branches of agriculture During
the year of 1908 the creamery butter
sold in the state of Iowa amounted to
$25,O00,000. Adding to this the value
of the Eutter manufactured on the
farm, milk and cream consumed on
the farm and sold in the towns and
cities and to cheese factories and CON

When the son of a great railroad
magnate condemns the government
land lottery plan of disposing of land,
and says he is ashamed of the money
his road made out of the transporta-
tion of the land seekers, be strikes a
heavy blow against a scheme that had
already met with great disfavor.
Apart from the moral stigma of gov
eminent being in what is. to all in
tents and purpose, lottery. the plan
involves a vast and unnecessary ex-
pense and therefore works injustice to
the many thousands who fail to draw
a lucky number. The government
will have to devise some more equit-
able scheme of disposirg of its remain
ing lands.

The list to date of ten killed and
over one hundred wounded reads more
like the casualty returns from field
of battle than field of sports. Yet a
football field is practically battle
field as the game is now played. No
one wants our sports to be tame and a
spice of danger in them gives zest.
But the sooner that the kicking of con-
testants and other brutalities are done
away with the better will it be for
the game itself and for those who play

John D. Rockefeller has done good
thing in giving 100000 to oomb bat
and destroy the hookworm disease and
every friend of humanity hopes the
effort may succeed, as doubtless it
will. But the greatness of the gift
and the worthiness Of the cause to
which it is devoted cannot blind peo-
pie to the fact that some of Mr.. Rock
efeller's BUSINESS methods have been
responsible for various bad business
and social conditions that have dark
ened the lives of many thousands of
people. The best atonement one can
make for producing such evils is to
discontinue the methods that have
made them possible.

ducts of the state of Iowa for the year
of 1909 will not be less than $50, ,000,-

comprehend the value of the dairying

ODD FELLOWS.

The second degree in full force was worked with two candidates Thursday evening at the regular meeting of Pal myra encampment, No. 4 in Odd Eel lows hall The impressive work well done under the degree master, John F. Auburn and Nelson E.. Church in charge of the floor work, made the meeting one of special interest.
 The joint committee of the Odd Eel low lodges, the Canton, the Encamp- ment, and the Rebekahs, has held sev- eral meetings at which plans have been considered for holding open house in the rooms for Odd Fellows at the time of the Norwich 250th anniversary. Un- cas lodge and Shetucket lodge have each voted $25 towards the expenses. and the financial end of the matter will first be taken up, the other plans being worked out later. Canton Oneco has not yet heard whether the state officers will change the date of their state parade so as to make it come here at the time of the anniversary.
