AUSTRALIAN BALLOT AT
 .rIrrrE TOWN ELECT1o

The law providing for the use of k1fe Australian ballot is not entirely cleRr as to whether or not it applies to the '1itt1e town elections" to be held. next moxl4h. It commences with this statement:
 EM. Nsanots used at elections held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November and at all special cleo tfons held for the purpose Of eject ing officers voted for on said day, shall be prepared by the Secretary of the State and printed at the expense of the State.
 This would seem to limit the use of the Aust7alian ballot to the No yenober elections. bat the succeeding senAance states that ''aT1 ballots used Ut ar reeAlar town, city and borough elections, shall also be printed by thM Sacratary of the State at the ex- penae of fhe. town, city or borough for which siich ballots are prepared"
 In another section, it is provided that town, city and borough caucuses pr conventions for the nomination of town, city or borough officers shall report their nominations to the Sec retary of the State, through the town, city or bor0Ggh clerk. at least IS days before the date of the election.
 The limitation to the November election, which appears in the, first section of the law, appears to besabat- ed by the specific provisions above quoted from other sections. N3
 It Is difficult to see how the use Of .khe Australian ballot at the little town elections" in October can. be avoided If this view be correct, town caucuses must be held much earlser klaan usual Vaccinations must be made and certified to. the Secretary of the State. at least IS daNs-nearly three weeks before the elsotiou. This will be in the middle of septenberto be precise, not later than Sept. IA or 15. The old custom of not holding caucuses until the lat ter. part of the week before the cleo ton, must be dropped.
 THess task of the Secretary Of State in prepartng the ballots for the. Hit tie town e1ectAons' is not an senviab1e one, as any one familiar with the printing Of such ballots in past years can testify.

TONS OF BEAD FISH IN
 SOUTH N0RWALK RESERVOIR

South Norwalk Sept. 1-The\ local reservoir is a Fveritable fish norgue at present. Tons of carp and eels are floating on it's surface. A large force of men in boats is engaged day and night removing and burying them
 Residents are blaming the epidemic of typhoid fever to the contaminated water. To get rid of weeds in the reservoir, which had tainted the wa ter for years, the commissioners, un- der the direction of John A. Newlands of New Haven, State chemist, used a bag of su1phate of copper at the pond Monday.
 It was intended to kill the algae, but the chemical killed every fish in the lake.
 Spring water is at a premium and hardly a bottle is to be had here at present.

The French people are the most economical nation of Europe, and the government is compelled by public sentiment to take heed of any undue increase in the cost of living, which threatens to lessen savings; The Cabinet has decided to institute pro- ceedtngs where proof is obtainable of unfawf1I speculation tending to ar fifu1al1y increase the price of srthe necessaries of life. That such pro- eeedings will be pushed to success cannot be doubted, for unlike our government proceedings, the action taken will be in earnest.
