Samuel Iorreli, Of Worcester, the new lessee Of the Bradley Theatre, as- sumed the reigns Of the house on We'd nesday. Ar. Moffcil is young man, new to the theatrical business bat full Of life and push. He is ambitious to maintain iirst-ciass amuse ment place where the tbeater-goers Of Putnam can enjoy good, clean entertainments. First class motion pict Ifes and headline acts will be the program and the best road shows win also be presented.
 Among the high class productions already booked are. The Shepard King The Wolf, The Merry Widow The City, The Girl from Rector $, The Blue Mouse, and others.
 Not only will the new Manager pre- ssnt good entertainments, but be will strive to meet the wishes and needs Of tbeater-goers in other particulars. be- iHgever watehful for their pleasure and comfort. We believe that in the hands Of Manager Morrell the public can feel assured that the past high standard of the house will be maintained and even surpassed.
 For next Monday and Tuesday the management has secured the original Jefiries-JehBsen fight pictures. They will be shown twice each day. These films are conceded. 10 be the master work of the moving picture machine 10 date.
 The pictures not only depict every move of the two modern gladiators from the time they enten the ring, but show the vast mnltitudes which at- tended the battle, and also show many amusing sights among all classes of people, from statesmen, governors Of states, well-known politicians, and the best known sporting men from all parts of the world gathered in motley crowd. The story of this great battle was one Of the most widely talked of affairs in recent years, and is still so fresh in the public minds that the pie lures will attract all classes of people wherever shown. No one can afford to miss this one chance Of seeing this really wonderful exhibition. In the seventh round of the great fight James J. Gorbett can be seen trying to rattle Johnson by telling him that Jefries will knock him out before the fifteenth round. Johnson answers by broad grin and in making a swing for Jef- fries head misses by Gofbett's eontsn- ual kidding. Admission D, 5, 50c

system embraced. Why were they
not informed?
Neither do those ffty-eight vot-
ers know that they will be as
sessed for something they will
not want and really is luxury
they do not need at the price we
are told it will cost.
Nevertheless twenty-three vot-
ers have decided that the 1900
or 1000 of the rest of us need
sewer system to dispatch disease
germs, microbes and other bugs
to the bed of the Little Colorado
ri"er. Those same fifty eight vot-
eis, in my opinion, did not know
one iOta as to the form of the
bonds which it is thought were
bargained for long previous to
the election, and that they helped
to float, or the conditions under
which they or their chldrenwould
be competed to redeem at the end
of thirty years.
Now, as stated by those who
want a sewer system in Winslow
for the express purpose, as | have
here above mentioned, say that
it will serve the city for twenty
years.
Mr.. Reader and dear people,
would you be foolish enough to
build yourself home that would
serve you but for twenty years
and then be ten years longer pay
ing for it? Right here is a part
of this argument that needs a
thought from everyone.
l think it is necessary to call
your attention to figures given
in the Mail OF January 22-ffteen
days after election.

not dwell upon the manner in
which the election was conducted,
but, Mr. Reader, when you take
into consideration that the polling
was intended for the purpose of
determining the mind of the free
thinker, you will agree w tn me
that when vo eS are solicited to
swing the result OF an election to
decide a sewer issue or any other
public utility, and especially when
a total of only eighty three votes
are cast, some one is going too
far to be fair and reasonable with
his fellow man. | don't care to
here cite other irregularities on
the day OF the polling. as | still
have a friend or two who may
fall heir to something he does not
want or that he is really not en-
titled to. But l have them
many.
There were sixty-threc votes
cast in favor of the sewer issue
and | will venture to say that
fifty-eight of them did not know
whether they voted for ten feet
or ten miles of sewer; whether OF
not there was a septic tank in
connection; whether it was to be
six inches or six feet in diameter
and the chances are that they
never willknow what the sewer
