CAMPAIGN ORATORS
 OF NOTED POWER

The esteemed Waterbury American believes that years of Connecticut state politics have not produced in any one campaign such an array of distinguished campaign orators as are vouchsafed to us this fall, Included among them are George P. Mclean, the most brilliant governor Connecticut has known in the present generation; Judge Baldwin, whose reputation as jurist is interna- tional !. Congressman Hill, considered by many the ablest statesman in matters of finance now sitting in congress, and Dean Henry Wade Rogers of the Yale law school. The campaign oratory this fall should tell us something besides the number of iocks and herds mentioned in the republican campaign text book, the glories of Appomattox and the cussed- ness of John D. Rockefeller.

The work cut out for the general as- sembly of Connecticut next winter is greater than has faced that body in over a generation. if ever. truthfully says the New Haven Journal Courier. Which ever party gains the power the obligation will be the same. Circumstances have conspired this year to accentuate what must be done. and other circumstances will appear to compel consideration of other issues growing out of the original conditions.
 Both parties are committed to a public utilities commission, the enactment of a workingman's compensation act, the re- peal of the $5,OOO death penalty. But there are other issues that must be met Chief among them will be the amend ment of the corrupt practices law to a degree that will restore the law to its original condition when reported to the general assembly by the Investigating commission.

 COUNTERFEIT BILLS

Two dangerous commercials are in circulation and may at any time reach this section. Look out for them lest you get stung as have many others else- where.
 Both bills are of the $lO denomination and have been widely circulated in New York city. One counterfeit is on the First National bank of Portland, Ore. Its charter number is 1853, check letter is D, treasury number M 9299S4, bank number 2525. The second is on the Pasadena National bank of Pasadena, Gal. Its charter number is 356S, check letter J, treasury number B 59268, bank number 6855.
 Both these notes are made of two pieces of paper, between which is placed thin silver thread. On the face of each is photo etching of the late President Mckinley. Their most notable defects are the dark appearance of the notes on the face aud the light green of their backs They are photo. etched bills of a mechanical process.

But It Required an Electro

O01s bhCJ oSSCN NS0i uS T'
 Freeman Residence-An Uncovered
 Feed Wire Shocked Passing Equines.
 A peculiar accident happened here last Saturday. For some time horses passing along portion of the highway near A. F. Freeman's house on the back road, have shied and acted strangely. No sooner would they reach certain spot on the road than they be- came unmanageable.
 A team driven by an Italian reached there Saturday and without warning the horse sprang high in air and nearly leaped from it's harness. The driver got out of the wagon and looked around but saw nothing. Tn regulating the harness he backed the wagon, and again the horse bounded into ths air, narrowly missing trampling ths driver. Again the Italian searched but could find no cause for his horses strange behavior and drove away puzzled.
 Not long after driver of a meat cart reached the spot and his horse bounded into the air and started to run away and was with difficulty subdued. Finally word was sent to the Berkshire Power Go. and it was decided to investigate the reason for this strange series of happen ings. It was known that an electric wire, carrying the current to the house electric light service was buried under ground along this roadway, but search failed to disclose at first that this wire was responsible.
 After 8 careful search of the roadway, one of the electricians sat at the tele- phone, talking with the Berkshire Power Co.,. and had just stated that no apparent reason had been discovered for the singular action of the horses. The one communicating this information had but just left the telephone and stepped out of the office, when a horse was seen to drop dead at the spot where so many other horses had acted strangely.
 Going to this point closer investiRa- tion reveal.d that the pipe containing the electric feed wire had been damaged by the passing of heavy teams and that the insulation of the wire had worn just enough so that coming into contact with the W ct ground and the steel shoes on the. horses feet had formed a short circuit and electrocuted the animal.
 The mystery was then explained and men were at once set to work to repair the wire and thus danger point to travel has been made safe. The horse thus electrocuted was owned by Rhoades 6 Stanton, lumber dealers of North Canaan.
 Among some of the foreign people who had occasion to drive over this road there has of late grown up fear of an unknown and to them inexplicable mystery. Some of them intimated that the road was haunted. Some thought that the "devil had gone over the road with burning hoofs' and that the ground had become enchanted. In no other way was the mystery clear to them.
 The discovery that the electric power wire has been causing the strange antics of the horses will be 8 relief to such as have belief in the supernatural, and the "devil's hoofs" have, it is hoped, been now effectually cooled off.
