 General Putnam Again in Commission
 The General Putnam steamer of the Danielson fire department is again ready for service. That it was out of order was discovered several weeks ago at the Evans block fire, when a stream of water began to play out of it, drenching the crew, soon after the pump was started. It was used in this condition until the fire was under con trol, and the next day an investigation was made It was discovered that the defective part was under the main pump, where a section had rusted out and that a new casting would be nec- essary to make the proper repairs. The cast has been all this time getting here. It was put in place Sunday and the machine is now as ready as ever for active service.

CUT FINGERS WITH SICKLE.
George Williams, Unable to Find Doc tor, Went to Hospital in ex-Lieut.- Governor Lakes Automobile.

The automobile of ex-Lieut Gov Everett J. Lake. who was in the city, was pressed into service to do duty as an ambulance on Monday morning.
 George Williams. janitor of the town building. while at work trimming up fortune to clip his fore and second fingers of his left hand with a sharp sickle The curved blade cut clear to the bone and the fingers bled pro- fusely. MT. Williams hastened down the street, and attempted to pro- cure medical aid but without avail, as he called at the offices of five diff ferent doctors and none was "at home" and then spying an automobile congregated and in which ex-Senator Charles A. Gates, another man and the chauffeur were seated. he exclainl- ed. I've cut myselfi Take me to the hospital!' He was told to get in and the chauffeur with the skill of an ex- pert made the run to St Joseph's MT. Williams was here confronted with the same difficulty and could find no sur geons or physicians but the head nurse fingers. When MT. Williams came out of the institution a few moments later he found that he had unceremoniously pressed the ex-lieutenant govern oT'S automobile into emergency service and left MT. Lake somewhere up on Main street. wondering where his chauffeur and the big machine had gone.
 The politicians got together later. however. and all is said to have been harmonious when explanations were made. MT Williams will have a cou- pie of sore fingers for several days. but he considers himself fortunate in not losing them completely.

SAFETY VALVE FOR MAeNATEs.
Nothing Serious, Just Satisfying, at
 E. C. League Directors Meeting.

The directors of the Eastern Con- necticut league did little more than discuss the status of certain players relative to their being of the nome" or .'out of town" class when they got together in Danielson Sunday after noon. No fines or suspensions will re- suit from the meeting, which in reality served as a sort of safety valve for them the opportunity to say some things that they have been saving up for each other-nothing serious mind you-but just satisfying, and they all felt better after the session.
 Jewett City had to be heard about that game up at North Grosvenordale July Is, when Umpire Magnan for feited the contest to the Andems after he had called an imaginary batter out on strikes, because the Jewett City players did not want to continue to play in the rain. Jewett City can't quite figure out that ina ginary batter decision They are interested to know what the umpire would have done in case he had to call four balls on this imaginary man; whether the imagin- ary fellow would then have been al- lowed to run the bases and score an imaginary run AS the Jewett City boys see it there was too much inlag ination altogether in that affair. But the matter was lain on the table and it may never be heard of again unless the playing of it would give the Bleacnery town a chance 10 f&nO an other pennant, which is not considered as probable at the present time
 90 Degrees in the Shade.

Sun day was hot too with an official record of 92 here in Danielson. This mark was within one degree of the record for the season.

ONE WAY OUT
A RESIDENT OF NORWICH SHOWS
 THE WAY.

only one way to cure a bad back
 Liniment and plasters may relieve it:
 They won't cure it.
 Backache means sick kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills.
 Norwich people prove this.
 Read a case of it:
 Patrick J. Fitzgerald, s6 Mechanic Street. Norwich, Conn, says: T can guarantee Doan's Kidney Pills to be a reliable kidney remedy. When they first came to my attention I was hav- ing considerable trouble from pain and lameness across the small of my back and through my kidneys. What I read about Doan's Kidney Pills made m@ sure they were just the remedy I re- quired. and use proved that was right. Less than the contents of one box removed the lameness through my back, drove the pains away and reg ulated the passages of the kidney se- cretions. My advice to any person suffering from kidney trouble is to procure Doans Kidney Pills at N. D. Sevin & Sons drug store and give them a fair trial"

Judge M. A. Shumway of Danielson presided at a session in chambers of the superior court in this city Monday for the disposition of some matters ready for presentation.
 Jennie Capodici was granted an un- conditional divorce from Salvatore Capodici. now serving a life sentence for murder in the state prison at Weth- ersfield. This fact was taken as ground for the divorce. Capodici will be remembered as the man who. so brutally murdered a friend who was visiting him at Moosup about two years ago and as the man who, after commit ting the crime. wrapped the horribly mutilated remains in coarse wrappings and threw them in the river, from where they were later recovered.
 Judge A G. Bill of .Danielson was counsel for Mrs. Capodfci.
 Judge Shumway also granted a de- ere of foreclosure in favor of John w. Gallup of Danielson on personal prop erty, etc. of one J. Frank Porter, who was at one time in this section as an agent for a correspondence school
 Judge A. G. Bill represented MT. Gal Iup.

 Baker is now held ot the county jail III brOOklyn unoer DOnQ or Sls0OU, the charge against him being an at tempt to burn the home of T. D.

NOT SEEN, SIMPLY HEARD.
Panther, Even if imaginary, Protects the Berry Pastures-Makes Lovers Lane Unpopular.

This week that panther that has been drawing so much newspape space is playing an engagement for the citizens in the eastern part of the toWn-that part near South parish, t least he was reported from there on Monday morning. According to the stories told of this beast he has a regular 6-eyiinder screech that he uses with the muffier off. He hasn't been seen, simply heard. Whatever other effect this panther yarn may have it has made several lovers lanes unpopular for the time being, and keeps the children close about home after nightfall. It is also a. means of protecting the farmers berry pastures. Few persons want to meet even an inn aginary, panther, so the story helps some.
