Judge Smith In Audubon.

Hon. Walter l. Smith was in Audu-
bon, Tuesday, on his way from Gray
to Brayton where he spoke Tuesday
evening. Both these meetings were
largely attended by all classes of repub-
licans and the best of feeling prevailed.
A leading progressive tells us that
Judge Smith made one of the best re-
publican speeches he ever heard. His
talk was so plain and practical and his
illustrations so clear and simple that
everybody could understand the benefits
the people have derived from republican
administrations the last dozen years. A
number of gentlemen from Audubon
attended both meetings. AT Gray Prof.
Harry p. Smith of the Audubon schools
presided and introduced the speaker in
brief but pleasant manner. At Bray
ton Tuesday evening Geo. Arnold pre-
sided and Judge smith made another of
his telling speeches to good audience.

Byers Meeting At KimbalIton

Attorney General Byers spoke at Kim.
ballton Monday night to large au.
dience that gave the most serious at
tention. While the people were filling
the hall the music was furnished by the
Kimballton Cornet Band. DIR. James
presided and introduced the speaker
in fitting terms Mr.. Byers gave them
a talk as he called it, in which he urged
republicans to stand for the whole tick
ct; that when candidates are selected by
the primaries, the ranks should close up
and give them united support. He de-
clared his unwavering belief in the prime.
iples and policies of the republican party
and the Importance of its having CON
troll of our government
The republican party was born because
of oppression and it stands for the best
that can be secured for mankind. Mr..
Byers showed very clearly that the prime.
iples for which the republican party
stands are very different from those fav.
ored by the democratic party. Referring
to the candidates for governor he main
tanned that Senator Porter is not en-.
titled to the votes of republicans espec.
tally on the liquor question which would
give us municipal and township local
option. We are assured by persons at.
tending that there was general good
feeling and agrowing sentiment for sup.
porting the entire republican ticket.
Those from Audubon who went were
Ed f. johnson, Ed b. Cousins, Howard
4. Kittell, Henry b. Herbert, J. F.
Ruhs, and ID. ID. Sampson. After the
meeting, Hans Johnson the veteran re-.
publican, of Kimballton, insisted that
these gentlemen together with Mr.. BY.
ers and some others should go to his
home where two large tables were load.
ed with refreshments which they great
ly enjoyed as well as the hospitality
that suggested their preparation.

A Steer Case In Court

plevin case involving the possession and
ownership of steer and was tried last

Jorgensen. The case arose in Douglas
township, and quite large number of
witnesses were called to testify. Mantz
White were attorneys for Mr.. Jorgen-
sen, while j. M. Graham appeared for

Look AT Fraziers Rustic wiudow

The front window of the Frazier
store is attracting much attention by
the way it is dressed in rustic style. A
number of bushes furnish the back
ground. On these bushes are owls and
squirrels. Among the leaves ON the
floor are pheasants, prairie chickens, a
bob cat, weasel and the skins of mum
Der of fur-bearing animals. The com,
bination makes a very pretty effect.

A Novel Entertainment.

The newly organized Boys club of the Greeneville Congrega tional church under leadership and direction of Physical Director Baudlow of the r. NJ. C. A.. is planning a new and novel social to be held early next week It will be held in the church parlors, and ought to be one Of fhe most interest ing things ever held at the church During the past three weeks the mem bers of the club have been sen 1ir g to out of town merchants, manufactur- CTS and business men, asking them to send such calendars as they may be Issuing this season; and a goodly number have responded in such a. gen erous fashion as to insure the success of the project. Of course the business address of the firm appears on the cal endar, but this in no way detracts from it. It gives the donor that much advertising. These calendars will be on exhibition during the evening" be- ing hung upon the walls of the room and shown in other ways The large number and the variety secured will make it very attractive as well as interesting affair. At the close of the exhibit the calendars will be auction ed off to the highest bidder, and as some of the calendars are real works of art with an established market val ues there will very likely be consid- erable excitement in the bidding The local business men are getting out some calendars fully as attractive in design as any that have been secured from out of town.

WATERFORD IS OPPOSED
 TO ANNEXATION PLAN
Vote of 132 to 7S Against It and Will Fight 1t in Leeisiature-Can See No Benefits, but Higher Taxes.

Many were present at the special town meeting in Waterford Thursday afternoon for the purpose of taking action on the question of annexation of the town to New London. a petition for which has been presented to the legislature by New London
 & B. Manwarring was the chairman and c. A. Gallup clerk and the ses- sion lasted from 2 until APO o'clock. There were many speakers on both sides. When the vote was taken it stood 132 to 78 against annexation, and by the same vote it was decided to go before the legislature and fight New London's petition for the annex ation of the whole town. It is under stood that New London will carry the fight to the legislature
 The opposition to the idea was on the grounds that Waterford will not be as we'll off as it is now. It has tax of 15 mills now and New London has a Is mills tax. New London is contemplating many dnprovena ents, which will mean a big outlay and an increase in it's taxes. which Water ford, as a part of the town, would be required to assume. and not get any benefits from. It is held that the town is well governed and that they are provided with all the benefits New London would give them.

PIPELINE HAS BEEN COMPLETED
Electric Wires Are Up From Station Backus Corner and Machinery Will Be Set Today-By Tuesday it is Hoped to Start Pump.

The pipeline to Trading Cove brook is practically finished, the connecting sections having been put in on Thurs day. The filling in of the ditch is now underway, and 2,000 feet nave been completed. The ditch will all be lev eled off so that it will have no detri- mental effect on the fields it goes through.
 The pumping station is practically finished, though the base of the first pump was not ready for the machine to be set on Thursday, though it was carted there and was left outside the house for the night. It will probably bet set today, when the motor will be taken there and placed in position. The switchboard will be installed today, and by Saturday night it is believed everything will be connected up. The job of connecting up the machines with the electric line will be short, as the wiring of the switchboard and that inside the house will be finished this week. The second pump and motor direct connected is expected here to- day, and will be at once taken to the pumphouse. where everything is ready for it. This weighs five tone, and 1t will prove quite 8 haul getting it over the East Side hills and then across the soft fields to the pumping station. This was expected here on Thursday, and as it had not arrived at noon, Agent Jewett was having it traced, so as to hurry it along.
 Supt. Bogue has the wires up from the station to the Backus corner, so that the next two days will see that work easily completed. One pair of wires must be strung as far as r. T. Naples house. and the other pair must be brought in as far as Pfeiffer's s blacksmith house to connect with the existing power lines.
 The work being so far advanced, it is believed that all the details will be completed so that it will be possible 10 make a test of the pumps, or one, at least. by Tuesday. No work has been started on the dam as yet, but that will not be a long job, as the dam will be only enough of an obstruction to furnish the well with sufficient water to supply the pumps.
 At Fairview reservoir on Thursday it was shown by the measurement that it is holding it's own at 32O inches

Santa Claus Telephones Gifts to ChiI-
 dren of First Church Sunday School Avery Brothers Unable to Cut Ice.

There was a Christmas entertain ment in the First Congregational chap e1 on Wednesday evening for the chill dren of the Sunday school The su- perintendent, Dwight W. Avery, stated that Santa Claus came from his home in the north on Christmas day, but couldn't stay over until Wednesday. However, the committee had telephon- ed him and he said he would send the presents over the wire.
 So a telephone booth had been ar ranged where the children could call for their presents. The booth was made of pine and hemlock with laurel and holly, snow covered, while colored electric lights and a large electric star transformed the whole into fairyland An ingenious arrangement of wires through a transom fifteen feet high sent the presents flying in, across and down the room as they were tel ephone for by the operator, Miss Helen Stead. The children watched with de- light. One small boy was heard to say: T don't see Santa Claus, but I hear him."
 Fitch L. Allen and Philip B. Whaley built the booth and arranged the cleo tricaI apparatus. Other members of the committee were Rev. c. H. Ew ing, chairman; Miss Huntington, Mrs F. L. Allen, Miss Natalie Allen, Miss Ruth Potter, Marvin Sterry and Stan ley Gay.
 A pretty programme by the chill dren included d coPnet solo by Ar thur Kruck. vocal solos by Bernice Underwood and Margaret Ewing, reel tations by the Avery children, and a violin solo by eight year old Theo- dore Sterry, which was received with such prolonged applause that he was obliged to respond with an encore.

 River Water at Hartford.
 The Hartford commissioners look for slight additions to the water sup ply in the reservoirs resulting from the wtrm weather, which causes enough of a thaw to flood the brooks The conditions are still serious, how ever. and there is now but fifty days supply on hand, allowing for the great est possible consumption from the sources Everything now depends on the rainfall within the next few weeks The situation is extremely critical and the commissioners are watching it ev- cry moment.
 The Worthington pumps are in their place at the Connecticut river and will be tested by Enginer peck and assist ants this afternoon, says the Hartford Times of Thursday. The appara tus S'hO commissioners declare-and they are supported by experts-that the water from the river when purified in this manner is absolutely safe and perhaps more pleasant to drink than the water now used by the city. The commis- sior1ers will not begin to use the wa ter from the river until due warning is given, and it does not at present seem probable that the water famine will continue long enough to make their use necessary at all.
 If inc pumps have to be used how ever, tho tests will assure the com missioners that everything is all right before the start is made. Connections will be made so that the water from the river can be pumped directly into the mains against the flow from the reservoirs.
 Tests this week of the reservoir wa ter now in use show that it's purity is up to the standard.
