Called Home to Canada.

Ten prisoners confined in the Bedford
district Jail in Sweetsburg, Que, made a
desperate attempt at escape Aug. 20 by
assaulting the aged turnkey, Martin
Scott, and beating him into insensibility.
The taller, Miles Miltimore, was here
visiting his brothers, DR.. H. H. Milti-
more, and c. A. Miltimore at Concord.
In his absence his father-in-law, Mr.
Scott, was acting as turnkey. He is rs
years of age. As is the custom, at eight
o'clock the turnkey went into the jail
with the cell KEYS to lock the prisoners in
their individual cells for the night. AS
he entered the large room where the
prisoners are allowed to mingle during
the day, he was attacked. The heavy
keys were taken from him, and with
them he was beaten about the face and
head and rendered unconscious.
Mr. SCOTS cries for help were heard
by his wife and daughter, who were in
the jail Office, and they summoned help;
and before the prisoners succeeded in
reaching the outer door posse of citi-
zens headed by high constable Boisvert
had assembled and quickly quelled the
mutiny.
The aged turnkey was removed in an
unconscious condition and doctors were
summoned to attend him. A severe
wound on his face required seven stitches
to close. His condition is regarded as
serious, though, except for his great age, |
there is no reason why an early recovery |
may not be expected.
Among the prisoners is Frank Church,
alias Provencal who was recently
arrested at Richford, for drunkenness,
and after serving ten days at St. Adams
was turned over to Canadian officers to
answer to charge Of robbing the post
office and Crowel' store at Dunkin,
Que, the night OF August 6. The other
prisoners are serving sentences for theft
Or burglary, and all are bad lot.

AT The Colonial.

Don't Tell Ny Wife at the Colonial
Monday evening drew fair house and
kept all entertained every minute. This
musical comedy is of the one long
scream" variety and the audience laugh
ed until they were tired. The music is
catchy and the parts as a whole were
very well taken. Eddie Merrigan as
Snaps the bell boy and airline Mariner
as Johanna the maid were particularly
good, while Harry Mckee as William
Green was huge success. His part was
the leading one and he so sustained it as
to win much applause. The feminine
parts by Noette Aimes, Alma Rutherford
and Gwynne Woolworth were very good
and some of the costumes were pretty
especially in the third act.
Those who failed to attend the per-
Torrance given by the Guy Brothers
at the Grand, Thursday night,
missed rich treat says the Utica Globe.
Guy Brothers are leaders in the minstrel
line and have one of the best, if not the
best companies on the road. The splen-
did stage settings shown in the first halt
Of the entertainment are a feast for the
eyes. The singing was exceptionally fine
being a treat to lovers of excellent music.
The wonderful acrobats, the dissolving
pictures, the illustrated songs by Albert
3uy, the dancing, talking figures, the
ong by the quartette and the acrobatic
lancing constituted the second hall and
made a program that was unusually
pleasing. They will appear at The
Monday evening, September 6.

Be Good to Old Apple Trees.

Old apple trees can be brought back
| to fruitfulness by spreading a thick
| coat of rich rotted manure around the
tree and blowing it under. If ground
| cannot be plowed fork it under The
next thing to do is to cut out all dead
branches. all cross limbs and suckers
growing around the base of tree. These
take up the sap which should go into
the fruit The next thing to be done is
to scrape off the old dead bark, then
wash with strong I've soapy water.
Use stiff brush to cleanse the bark.
Ashes from hard wood may be used in
place of soap. Various tree washes
have been recommended, but there is
probably nothing better than good
homemade soft soap thinned with just
enough warm water to make a good
suds. If the manure is Of poor quality
about one peck of complete animal
bone fertilizer should be spread around
medium sized tree and two pecks
around large tree Spread it on top
of the plowed sod and hoe it in. In
November another dressing of rotted
manure should be spread around each
tree and worked into the soil.
Many an old apple. pear. peach and
cherry tree that is supposed to be
worthless needs only good culture and
sufficient plant food of the right quail
ity to be brought back into full bear
ing
Cattle should not be pastured in the
orchard. They pack the sod so solid as
to prevent full supply Of moisture
reaching the tree roots, and they Craze
the grass so close as to afford no pro-
lection to the roots from the hot sun
and drying winds.
Try this method with the old fruit
tree. This work may be done any time
this month, the earlier the better.
