The School Street Improvement

Now that the highway committee have the money necessary they will at once proceed to carry out the wishes of the citizens expressed some time ago when they voted for new layout of School and Mechanics streets.
 The work will be better than 1t would have been had it been done earlier, as il was not at first the inten- tion to macadamize the streets in ques- tion. The delay was caused by wait ing for the trolley company to move its tracks some seven feet westward In the meantime the city bought the stone crushing plant and road roller. The erusher was recently set up on a piece of land owned by the city close to the location of the proposed inn provements and the highway con- mittee saw at once that the street could be macadamized now cheaper than ever before, or probably ever again, on account of the money saved in handling and hauling the crushed rock 1t was for this reason they were so anxious to dc the work at once and do it thoroughly so that il will be done once and for ala
 The place has been an eyesore to all who live in the vicinity and to all who pass over 1t, and the change will be welcomed. It is on one of the main avenues of approach to the city, being used by people coming from Thomp' son, and was the poorest piece of road between the two places.
 The late Colonel G. D. Bates was very active in instigating the im- provement which he did not live to see carried out.

Stabbing Affair m GrosyenordaIe

At about 10 o'clock Thursday morn- ing in the lower mill'of the Grosvenor- dale company at Grosvenordale John Alberto, an Italian, stabbed Richard Olson, Swede. The latter was taken to the Day kimball hospital in this city in preearious condition.
 About o'clock in the morning All berto went to the filling room of the mill to get a supply of filling. He took larger amount than he needed, and Olson, who worked near him, when he ran short of filling, took one box from Alberto's supply. The Itali- an did not seem 10 like 1t at the time, but continued working until about 8 o'clock, when he went to another em- ploye at the mill and asked him if he had knife. Although the man had knife, suspeeting that there might bc trouble, he told Alberto that he had none, whereupon the latter borrowed 6 quarter, went out to nearby store and purchased one.
 At about 10 o'clock Alberto went to where Olson was working and while the latter's back was turned stabbed him three times In the side.
 Both the men were about 20 years of age. Alberto was taken into custody and was arraigned before Justice R. II. Chandler of Thompson Friday and found guilty of assault with n danger ous weapon. He was bound over to the next session of the superior court and in default of bond of Sl ,500 was taken to jail. If Olson should die AL berto will have to face the charge of murder and douhtess more serious charge will confront him anyway when he appears in the higher court.

Long Distance Walker

Harry Garrepy, the long distance walker of Worcester, who walked from Boston to San Francisco and return in year and a half, was in the city Sat- urday to make arrangements for his high diving act but owing to all of the moving picture houses being closed he could do nothing, but expects to re- turn here in the near future. His stunt Is to get an engagement AS singer in a moving picture house and after the show to do his diving act taking up collection.
 Garrepy has done his act across the continent and back and his stories of experiences are very interesting He had many narrow escapes from death diving from bridges. He now carries his own apparatus, a tower so feet high, and dives in burst of flame and fire into the water. He has rela- tives in Putnam.

Drowned in the Quinebaug

Homer Cote, who was nine years old last Thursday, son of MT. and Mrs. Frank Cote, of the upper part of the city, was drowned in the Quinebang river Saturday afternoon.

He could not swim and immediately sank. The brother, who could swim, jumped over after him but could not reach him and was forced to give up and swim ashore. He ran to his home and gave the alarm. A number of men went to the place where the accident happened and recovered the body about an hour later. The parents of the boy were nearly crazed with grief.
 Funeral services were held in St. Mary's church Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Burial In St. Mary's ceme- tery,

EDITOR IN POLITICS.

"It is indeed funny business; there g
no other in the world like it. Lawyers,
doctors, merchants, mechanics, and un-
skilled laborers all have their holes, but
there is no place for the editor to lay his
head. When he is in trouble he has no
hole. After the smoke Of the battle
has cleared away after the spring cleo
tion is over, the doctor goes back to his
pill and no one seems to bother him
again: the lawyer slips into court, and
what he said is forgotten; the other
classes and conditions Of men fade into
the background and become part of the
landscape. But the editor sticks up like
a sore toe in high wind. What he
said, and what they thought he said,
and what he should have said and never
said, and what he might have said, but
didn't, assume an historic importance,
and men lie awake nights hating his in
ternal arrangements.
"If he stands by the ticket he is &C.
cused of bossing the town; If he takes to
the brush he is called u coward who is
both sides; If he clearly indicates that
he doesn't care a tinkers obstruction
whether schools keeps or not, both sides
claim he is secretly helping the other
side. William Allen White in the EN-

Looks oooo ZOE DEMocRAcv.

"The outlook for the Democracy Of
the country, as gauged by the way
things are going in the House of Rep
resentatives, was never better than it
is today" remarked representative E.
T. Taylor of Colorado last week as he
pushed back from desk heaped high
with congressional business and welcom-
ed a chat. I'm the House we are NOV
ing forward with precision and det-
ermination that is wonderful, consider
ing the fact that the party has not been
in control there for many year.
think our success lies largely IN the fact
that a numder Of forceful and wise lead
ers have developed. do not think the
House has ever been in the hands Of a
more vigorous and at the same time as
conservative set of men, The results
already show the benefits of placing an
other party in power in the popular
fbranch of the legislature. We have rat
flied President Taft's agreement to
create reciprocal tariff relations with
Canada and have supplement it by the
the farmers free list bill. Those two
measures, if they could only be read
thoroughly by the farmer, laborer, me-
chanic, merchant and individual in any
walk of life, think would in themselves
be convincing of the fact that the Dem
ocratic party is making a start in all
good faith on its expressed policy of
reducing the cost of the necessaries of
life and removing the means by which
monopolies have been able to fatten at
the expense of the people,"

HOW THEY DO IT.

Denver's method Of keeping in the
limelight is worthy of any reward it
may receive in the way of increase in
population or wealth. It is constantly
on parade with some novelty or other
that may attract. 1t has a great deal
that may be advertised but it is still de-
pendent. Its strength lies in keeping
well to the front that others may not
pass it for recognition. 1t is handicapp-
ed in that it has no manufactures to
speak of because of the lack of raw ma
terial, but principally to railroad discrim-
ination. Were it independent in these
it would not need the constant agitation
to draw people and money in her direc-
ton.
Some Of the methods adopted to attract
are petty and may have been effective
notwithstanding, but possibly the great
est benefit to be derived, next to that of
her convention hall, will be the results
of her crusade in the direction of mining.
Ever since the slump in silver she has
struggled to maintain her own, and sue
eeded, but only, as said,. through con-
slant beating Of the gong.
The present movement by her citizens
to find new mining districts is probably
the best that could be named.
It is admitted on all hands that min
ing made Denver possible. To open
new mining districts is to gain further
prominence. Grub-staking prospectors
may sound crude where undertaken by
some one big trade association. Some
thing may come of this, but heretofore
these have seemingly resulted from nat
ural causes, of course, helped by man,
who made the discovery and developed
them.
An army of prospectors in the field
may uncover a great deal Of value
should they act with the same amount
of honesty displayed by the promoters
Of the idea who are gathering fund of
$40, 900 to prove that the state is not
worked out in a mineral se.-Rock
