Historic Houses Marked on Thursday
First Drug store-Edmund c.
Stedman's House.


Anon gthe sites marked on Thurs
day by the historical committee were
the iron works started in 1850 by Eli
jah Backus. These were opposite the
Yantic mill. These are spoken Of as

ty.
Opposite Harland road, the stocking
mill of Christopher Lefingwell of rev.
dictionary fame, was marked. Al

of hose, besides gloves and purses,
yearly, only five operatives were en-
ployed. After a little the looms used
were made there.
The house of DR.. Joshua Lathrop
on Washington street, now occupied
by DR.. J. ]. Donahue. was also
marked. DR.. Joshua Lathrop, after
graduating from Yale in 1742, became
connected with his older brother, DIR.
Daniel Lathrop. in the drug business.
The shop was on the main street
near the family residence. This was
the only apotheeary's establishment
on the route from New York to Bos-
ton. People came a two or three days
journey on horseback to buy drugs.
Drugs were sold here before they
were in New Haven or Hartford. DIR.
Lathrop furnished the stock for the
first durg store iTf Hartford.
The old brick schoolhouse on the
Green now occupied by the Noah Web
ster accusation. was marked. In 1872
DIR. Daniel Lathrop left a legacy OF
500 pounds sterling for the support of
school held in this building
The house on Washington street
now occupied by Eben Learned was
marked as the former home of Ed
mund Clarence Stedman.
What is now the Norwich Fails
district early IN 1900 had only one
dwelling house, that of Elijah Lathrop
1t was then a wild spot, noted for "its
echoes and evergreens."

High School Will Need Three New
Rooms and Two Extra Teachers
This Fall.
The town school committee is about
to face an important matter that Will
have to be decided soon, probably at
this months meeting. Their atten-
ton will be occupied with prepara-
tions for handling the increased at
tendance at the Windham high school
this fall.
Principal John ]. Maddox of the
school states that there will be at
least fifty more pupils the ensuing year
than the one just closed and that
three more rooms will be necessary
and two additional teachers. 1t is
thought that it may be possible to fit
up temporary quarters for recitation
purposes in the second floor corri-
doris of the present school building.
There is also talk of engaging rooms
in the normal school or the old First
district building for the accommoda-
ton of the entire entering class.
School facilities never were so
cramped in the town and city as at
present.

COMING BACK TO IOWA.

Keokuk Gate City-One Iowa paper
in a single issue cited the instances
of two former Iowans who want to
come back home. One Of them had
gone to California and the other to
New York, They have heard that
there is revival of interest in Iowa
and they want to be revived with it.
One of them says he has had enough
of the golden west and Iowa looks bet
ter to him now than it did before he
had his experience in other states.
The New York man says that Iowa is
good enough for him and the more he
thinks it over the better it seems to
him. The Cedar Rapids Republican
well says, in commenting on the ten
dency disclosed by these facts:
THE prodigals will return. We be-
lieve that in the next 10 years the
tide will be t''rned in this state and
the tide of population will set Iowa
ward. Thousands have left this state
in the last ten years. They have been
lured away by one thing after an
other, cheap lands, balmy climates and
rosy prospects But these men are
bound to learn sooner or later that
the conditions of life are not changed
by a change of residence. In the gol-
den west men have to work just as
hard as they do here. Life is not an

will gather in this city July 6, and 8
to participate in the thirtieth annual
convention of the Iowa Pharmaceutical
association. and the hustling Ottumwa

their guests that bids fair to eclipse
any entertainment offered the pharm-
acists at previous conventions. The

strong and one that will attract the

features, particularly, will serve to
show the visitors that in hospitality
the Ottumwa druggists are far
ahead of the ordinary entertainment.
Excursions on the beautiful water
course of the Des Moines river; picnics
on the delightful green of the Ottum-

New York, June 49, - The murder
OF Miss Elsie Sigel, granddaughter OF
General Franz Sigel, whose body was
found last night crowded into trunk
in the room of Chinese, after she
hand been strangled with curtain
cord, appears to he the most remark
able case the New York police have
had to investigate in many years. One
of the odd phases of the case is the

Paul Sigel, to identify the body as that
of his daughter, while the girls moth
er has declared the articles OF jewel
ry found in the room with her body
belonged to Elsie.
Acquaintance Of Miss Sigel who
have seen the body of the murdered
girl, assert it is that of Miss Sigel and
number of persons have been found
by the police who declare the young
woman has been the friend of Chi
nese. William l.. Leon, in whose room
the body was found. Notwithstanding
these identifications it was stated at
the home Of Sigel today that Paul
sigel, the girls father, had gone to
Washington "to bring Elsie home"
On Track of Chinese.
William L. Leon, a Chinese, who
was also known by several Chinese
names, was still unbound today, as
was also Chung Sin, who occupied the
room adjoining that Of Leon. Today
the police gave out a report that Leon
and Chung Sin sailed last Friday
| for Vancouver, B. c., on a steamer go
ing by way OF the Isthmus of Panama
Precautions have been taken to inter
cept the steamer at intermediate
points if possible.
