BEE STINGS CURE 1 HIM OF RHEUMATISM
Wealthy Brewer of Ansonia Discards Medicine and Sub mits to Heroic Treat
 ment by Insects

Ansonia, Oct. 4-Hopelessly crippled for two years by rheumatism, William P. FitzGerald, a wealthy brewer here, has been cured by daily exposing him. self to the attack of bees. Leaving a hospital month ago when all rem edies failed. MT. FitzGerald tried the bee experiment as a final resort A friend who, had benefited by like treatment suggested it to him.
 A hive of bees quartered in the gar ret of MT. FitzGerald's home daily di- vided their time between gathering honey and burying their weapons in their owner. At times the bees would not sting until angered by poking. Their stabs caused severe pain in the patients arms and legs, but he suf- fered heroically. After three weeks of the treatment he is able to walk without crutches,
 Medical journals recently have been discussing bees as cure and stated that their sting neutralized the acid, an excess of which causes rheumatism and gouty affections The value of the cure was however doubted. MT. FftzGerald will soon leave for Hot Springs, Va.

WHAT GOVERNOR HARMON
 HAS DONE FOR FARMERS
Ohio's Chief Executive to be Host of National Con-
 gross of Changers

| Columbus, O., Oct. 1.-The Farmers | National Congress will convene in | Columbus in annual session Oct. F, l and the reception which Governor and
 Mrs. Harmon will give that evening to the several hundred delegates
 probably will be one of the most en- joyable functions of the many that have been arranged for the entertain-
 ment of the delegates. The Governor will address the congress. The meet ing will be presided over by the presi-
 dent, Joshua Strange, of Marion,
 Indiana. pr. George M. Whitaker, head of the market milk section of the federal department of Agriculture, is secretary.
 The purpose of the congress is to consider questions of national impor- tance to agriculture and to voice the wishes of the farmers by resolutions. During his administration in Ohio Governor Harmon has frequently dem
 onstrated he has a warm feeling for the farmer. The agriculturists' taxes
 have been lowered several millions of dollars a year, as a result of his eff forts. Increased appropriations have been made to promote agriculture, and ! a decent respect for the farmer has been inspired and firmly esta blished by the leadership of Judspn Harmon When asked why he was so greatly | interested in agriculture. the Governor said, My earliest and dearest recol- 1 lections are those of my boyhood days and are intimately associated with farmers and farming. From the earl fest history until the present time the farmer always has had a prominent place in record, laws and tradition. The farm is the best place in the world | for development of manhood and if a man has it in him to be of some ac- count a better place than the farm could not be selected to bring it out. think it may surely be said of the farmers that according to the propor- tion of taxes they pay and what they add to the country's wealth, they re- ceive smaller returns than does the city dweller. The farmer does not need the protection that the city man must have, as the closer acquaintance ship of the country creates a public sentiment which makes for better
 morals and reduces crime and violence l to a mirimum.''

Fisher, of Mfddletown, in q special article written for a. local Ia-' bor paper and widely circulated. to- day. The vote on the workmen's conn., pensation bill is taken as a test by Professor Fisher.
 "The probably correct vote was 1 for the bill and 143 against" said Mayor Fisher. "The votes of the Re- publicans were almost so1idly cast 10s against and only for. I have made an examination and find that the 143 negative votes were cast by represent tatives of only 243,OO0 people while ths affirmative votes were given by the representatives of more than twice as many-5S3, ,644. ..
 ''Towns of less than 1000 population cast two votes for the bill and g against"
 The alignment of towns is much more instructive. Bridgeport, with q population of 102,054. Hartford with 9S,915, Waterbury with 73,414, Norwich with 2S219, Norwalk with 24,211 and Danbury with 235o2 each cast two votes for the bill.

SICK WHEAT.


While Capt. w. A. Sullivan was in
Virginia, during the War Between the

summer and it rained all through
June. A hard rain would fall and the
sun would soon shine out hot in a
short time. Would have several show
ers of this kind during the DAY. The
reapers would cut the wheat between
the showers. We had great difficulty
in getting the wheat threshed out.
