 Iu the house last Wednesday, Rep. resentative Hall of Willington offered a re solution appointing FTed,lo. Vim ton . commissioner for TollaDd Coun-. ty. Mir. Hall asked for suspension of thal rules and passage, and MT. Hotch-. kiss of New Haven urged more time because he was about to introduce g bill calling for popular elections of county commissioners. The rules were suspended and the. resolution passed. MT. Hall then sent in an. other one appointing R. H Leonard of Rockville to be the other Holland county commissioner. MT Hutchin- son of Essex asked that the resolution be tabled. A rising vote showed the motion to be lost "A to 12O MT Dunn of Windham said there was no need of haste except to cover up some thing shady in the matter of the nomination, and MT. Hall rerot ted that he knew Mir. Dunn too we'll to take him seriously. MT Hotohkiss of New Haven asked "for information, !" if a two-thirds v.te Is net nt cessary to suspend the rules and was informed that he was correct. Mr. Banks of Fairfield then suggested that tue reso- lution go to the calendar, and. this was done without opposition on the part of Mir. Hall. .~
 Resolutions appointing county com- missioners will be the order of the day for next Tuesday. .....- ..
 The Rockville Leader states. that the turning down of County Oommis- sioner J. c. Wightman. of. Stafford surprised many people throuRhout Holland county. It Is Q surprise that a good many will not forget. It has net been the policy in the county. to turn down as county commissioner a man who has made as good a record as MT. Wightman has. The Rockville Leader of the Friday previous to the meeting of the representatives of Tol- land county for the selection of a com- missioner made the following state ment: "It isn't expected that there will be any contest over county oom- missioners, but that the present com missioners will succeed themselves. Fred O. Vinton of Mansfield and John c Wightman of Stafford Springs have made two of the best Oommis. sioners the county ever had, and they are entitled to reappointment, Al. though the vote for commissioner stood 13 to 3, MT. Wightman Las been assured that he received both votes of the Somers repres D tatives, and one of the representatives from the south ern part of the county stated before a number of witnesses in Hartford yeE- terday that he also voted for MT. Many times secret actions, taken very hastily, are regretted

COMMISSION RULE SAFE:
Act of the Illinois Legislature
Is Upheld.

At Springfield, H., the commission
form Of government act for all
cities, passed by the general assembly
in 1909, was pronounced constitution
al by the supreme court In an opinion
in which the supreme court affirms the
decision of Judge James A. Creighton
of the Sangamon circus court
This case is one in which the city
of Springfield obtained peremptory
writ of mandamus directing Charles Fl.
Edmands, treasurer and collector Of
Sangamon county, to turn over to
William H. Bowe. city treasurer Of
Springfield, appointed by the city COM
missioners, $4,000 which belonged to
the city and which Edmands held in
the county treasury.
Edmands appealed to the supreme
court, alleging that the bill never leg
ally passed the legislature and that it.
was not a complete act without read
ing into it the provisions of the old
city and villages act.

500 DIE IN MASSACRE
Russians Kill Women and Chill
dren at Resht, Persia.

A massacre occurred in Resh,
according to official Persian kilograms
received in London. These state that
on Sunday 500 Persians were killed by
the Russians, many of them being
women and children. The people, it is
said, have been eXhorted not to fight
and not to give the slightest provoca-
ton, but the massacre still continues.
Resht is the capital of the province
of Ghilan and has 10000 inhabitants,
The government house has been bonn
barded and many government officials
and police have been killed. Private
houses have been demolished.
According to other dispatches the
Russians killed four unarmed Moham
medans in the Armenian quarter of
Tabriz during the fighting in that city
1.-The people of Persia" says one
dispatch, ARE stupefied at the atti-
tude of Russia, especially as these out

The GIoWWorm.

The glowwOrm is not worm. but
species Of beetle. to which the COM
mon FREELY or lightning bug is closely
related. The true glowworm is the
female and is without wings. It's
short legs and long body give it a
vermifOrm appearance, and it can
withdraw it's triangular head into it's
neck. The adult insect feeds but lit
tie. Indeed. there is reason to sup
pose that the adult male does not feed
at all The larva. on the other hand,
is carnivOrOus and devours small moi
luscs. either dead or alive. The light
given out by the glowworm comes
from a yellOwish substance located
on the underside of the abdomen.
Though this light appears to glow
steadily. it is really intermittent. con-
sisting of flashes in quick succession.
about 100 to a minute Besides the
ordinary light rays. ROntgen rays are

Lumberman's Slang.

No'other industry, perhaps, furnishes
so many original. peculiar and inter-
esting words and phrases of a techni-
cal-cum-slangy nature as the lumber
industry of Canada. Timber tracts,
says Canada, are divided into limits"
or births" The growing timber on a
tract is a stand and the contents of a
"stand" are measured in ''feet"-a
''foot" being a board one foot square
by one inch thick and not a cubic foot.
To make survey of a stand of timber
is TO ''cruise" it. the man who does the
work is a cruiser" and his report
thereon is a cruise" Trees are
failed" and the man who falls
them is q sawyer" A man who
works in a lumber camp is known as
"lumberjacE or "shanty man."
When going up to camp he speaks of
going ''up to the shanties.' Timber
tracts that have suffered from the i'll
effects. of forest fires are said to be
"brooly," which is. Of course. a cor
ruption of "brule' Cburnt).

PERSIA FORCED To
YIELD TO RUSSIA
w. Morgan Shuster Will Lose
Job by Surrender.
II Was the Demand of Russia for the
Dismissal Of American Treas
urer General of Persia
That Started Crisis.

Persia has given to the Russian IN
lister, S. Pok1evski-Koziell verbal as
surance of its intention to comply
with the demands in the Russian ul-
timatum.
This means that w Morgan Shuster.
American treasurer general of Persia,
will lose his job.
1t was Russia's demand for the dis.
missai of Mr. Shuster that precipitated
the crisis and led to a Russian army
invasion of Persia. After fighting had
begun at Tabriz Russia gave Persia an
ultimatum The national council at
Teheran agreed before the time limit
expired to insist no longer on Mr..
Shuster's retention.
1t was charged by Russia that Mr..
Shuster insulted one Of the cZar's ell
voys while Russian officials were col
lecting taxes in the northern part of
the kingdom.
MI Shuster defends his course in
the following terms:
'"The British foreign minister's state
ment that | distributed pamphlets at
lacking Russia and forced three Per-
sian ministers to resign and sought to
Anglicize the Persian service is untrue.
The two ministers therein designated
resigned because they declared the
prime minister was lukewarm toward
the establishment of efficient financial
control"
