Lake of the Crystal Waters, June 28.- It is lnany moons since Washinipg left the land of her fathers for the happy hunting grounds of her people. Great sleeps have followed great sleeps, since have looked upon the Crystal Waters, where with Washinee, my sister we piled the paddle in the bark canoe, and smiled upon the young braves of our nation. Thick were they then as leaves of the forest. The loon oried upon the lakes and the wild duck fed amid the ssdges. From the depths of the waters leaped the great trout, and above the trees of the forest curled the smoke from the wigwams of the redmen, for in those days we were many. Alas, to day Washining looks in vain. for her people.
 Her voice rings through the wood lands and the thickets, but there comes back no answering response. She sees today where ouce dwelt the warriors of her race, a strange people with skins like the blossom of the lilies she gathered with. Washines on the Lake of the Crystal Waters, and she knows them not. Strange are the ways of the pale faced strangers who live in their big wigwams beneath the shadows of the forest. So strange to Washining that she would make speak leaves of their doings and send to the white chiefs, to use in the big Speak Leaves that are read by these same pale people.
 A Strange People.
 It is odd to the Indian maiden, the queer antics of these pale face people. No council-fres call them together. No deer they may shoot for vension, roams the land wherein they dwell, although Washining this day met several as she journeJed from the mountain side. But they fed at her coming; fled as though fearing the white people, though in the sleeps that have passed, Washinee and Washining were their frequent companions. to-day they know her. not.
 Gan wonder that this is true when I see churning the waters of the Great Crystal, the chug chug canoes of the pale faces and not one of the birchen canoes of my own people. Washining will go among the tribe of the pale

THIEVES
 STOLE > CASH.
Homes of Canaan ties Robbed of
 $1o4OO

A sneak thief has been operating around Canaan and vicinity for @ week past. He entered the home of William Waller on the East Canaan road, Thursday, in the absence of MT. Waller and stole $32 in cash. The next day the house of Benjamin Consalletti was entered and and robbed of $147. It is located near the Connecticut Western Lime oom- pans kilns.
 An Italian, living near East Canaan, had $15 laid away for safe keeping in a trunk at his home. There was 8 girl in the honse sick in bed when the sneak thief entered the place and proceeded to rob the trunk. The sick girl saw the operation, but was powerless to prevent it.
 The thief stole the $15 and as he was about to leave, women came to the house and sought to enter. Her hand had grasped the inside of the door, when the thief spied her and kicked her on the fingers, injuring her painfully. He then made his escape. The women have given good description of the man to the authorities and his arrest is probable.

The Court and Select men Have Ready
 the Calf.
Any Man Creating a Row While Drunk is to be Arrested and Heavily Punished--Special Off, eer to be Appointed to Round Up DrunkS.

"There is one thing you may say in your paper. and. let the matter be as wide known as possible, and that is from now on, booze fighters will do well to give Canaan a wide berth. If they don't they will get into trouble. We want to give them fair warning and take no advantage of anyone but from henceforth Canaan is to be cleaned up and drunkenness upon our streets will be treated the same as any other crime.
 I've don't propose to allow this state of things any longer. It has been grow ingworse of late and it is time to call halt.
 "The selectmen are going to take the matter in hand immediately, and before the week is over a special officer will be appointed to give most of his time and attention to the cleaning up of Canaan, and every man with jag on that is seen upon thelstreets, or who comes here with the intention of raising trouble under the influence of liquor, will be arrested, locked up, ana punShed by this court to the full extent of the law.
 We are determined that the streets shall be in every respect safe for our wives and daughters to pass at any hour of the day or evening, without their being subjected to insult or fear through the prevalence of this undesirable class of men upon our streets. Time was, not long since, when our streets were thus free, but with changes that have come in other directions, we have had an increase in drunkenness, that seems to be growing, and we propose to break 1t up."
 So said Judge Ford to News repre- ill talking over local conditions. So those interested in this warning, residents of town or out of town, will do we'll to heed the Judges for he means business and there is going to be something doing from now on.

With her pigments she will make pictures for the big Speak Leaf pictures that will show some of the things that Washining this week has seen on the Lake of Crystal Waters.
 The pale face maiden may hide her face on the breast of her warrior, but Washining will record it's bushes. The big elephant man may steal quitely away in the board canoe of his fathers, and in solitude think he is alone with his jug of frewater, but Washining will find him in his solitude and her speak leaf shall picture, that those who see may know and understand. Even the sons of Eli shall not escape her vigilance. At twilight in her canoe she will sail the lake in the guise of pale faced maiden, and none shall know her, nor whence she goes, nor how she comes, but the speak leaves will give to the world the story day by day of the life by the crystal waters.

The Gulf of Spezia

On awakening at seven o'clock the following morning, l. noticed that we were at the mouth of the Gulf of SpeziA. Here also, as in France, we saw the hills covered with vineyards. From our wireless station, we could look over the tops of three ranges of mountains, and sec what we thought to be snow covered mountains, but which we learned after ward were marble quarries. The har- Dor of SpeziA is easily approached by wide channel, and we did not require the services of a pilot. Shortly after seven o'clock we moved to bay within convenient distance of the city. For this we may thank the harbor and navy officials.
 The Italian navy is we'll represented here. there being five battleships and cruisers near us, but there is no ship here which looks as nice as our good old ship, the New York. Immediately on our arrival, the usual calls from the government officials were received and afterward our captain was busily sn- gagged in returning their visits. Many saluteS were fired and expressions of Ital- ian friendship and cordiality were seen or heard. Of course we sailors wanted to give vent to our personal signs of grAt- itude for this by means of getting ashore and having our usual festivities. We were not disappointed, for soon the Boatswains mate blew his whistle and Continued on 9th Page)

Good Roads.

To the Editor of the Gate City: Ev-
cry farmer of Lee county ought to
read the address of B. F. Youkum of
the ST. Louis & San Francisco rail
road, on good country roads, showing
conclusively how the farmers can
save 22,50Oa000 per annum by max
ing good roads from their farms to
the market for their products.
| personally know of an instance in
Indiana where a macadamized road
was proposed, and the farmers gener-
ally were opposed to it because of
the expense. Their land was selling at
from $50 to $3.50 per acre before con-
struction and within five years from
the completion of this road, the same
land was sought after at SS5 per acre.
1t will pay the people Of this city
to join with the farmers to build good
roads leading into this city. Let us
all be in favor of good roads and build
some this fall. 1t is not too late to
commence.

HORSE BODY
Torn BY POST.
A Young Horse Belonging to Dudley
Lively in Fighting Flies, Rear
ed and Fell Onto
Post.
| HORRIBLE SPECTACLE
The Post Penetrated the Animals
Side and Blood squirted All Over
Sidewalk and Street for
Several Yards.

This morning grewsome and
bloody spectacle was presented to the
citizens on Main street about nine
o'clock when young horse belonging
to Dudley Lively. farmer in the
Missouri bottoms, reared and fell on
to the iron post to which it was tied
and penetrating the animals abdomen
held it there in squeezing death agon-
les. Deputy Marshall Pearson was
called and ended the poor animals
misery with bullet.
Dudley Lively and his wife, who
owned the horse, drove in from their
farm on the bottoms this morning to
dispose of their produce and had tied
the team in front of the Markley
butcher shop. The team which con-
sisted of the young horse and an old
err animal we're fighting flies and the
older horse had showed the young
three-year-old up next to the hign
curbing The horse reared and lost
her footing between the older horse
and the curbing and fell, coming
down on it's side onto the top OF the
three inch iron post, throwing blood
all over the side walk and street. The
screams of death agony at once caus-
ed large crowd to gather, many
of whom became sick at the first
sight of the spectacle and had to
leave and many others were found to
depart in a hurry when large
knife was called into play to cut the
animal from the post. Blood covered
the side walk and street for many
square feet before the mutilated
body could be removed.
President Wilkinson of the HUI
name Society was notified at once OF
the accident and he requested the po
lice to end the animals sufferings
with bullet. Mr.. Lively begged the
officers to save his horse for 1t seems
that it was pet and had been raised
4 from a colt by his family and they
were much attached to it but as
there was no chance to save the AMI
mails life the officer complied WITH
the request of President Wilkinson.
