MANY VETERANS ARE
 SEEKING STATE PENSION
Ignorance Prevails as to Who is En-
 titled to It.

While the Civil war veterans were in Hartford Wednesday many of them called at the state eomptroller's office and applied for the state air under the new law for soldiers. Towards the close of the afternoon the pile of ap- plication cards had reached surprising dimensions. There continues to be great ignorance as to who is eligible to this aid. The new law is as follows:
 Every person resident in, this state who has served in the army, navy, ma rine corps or revenue marine service of the United States during the Civil war, and received an honorable dis charge therefrom, the widow resident in this state. or if there be no such widow the widowed mother resident in this state, of every person who has so served and has died either during his term of service of after receiving honorable discharge from said ser vice. and the pensioned widows, fa- thers and mothers resident in this state Of soldiers, sailors and marines who served in the army, navy or marine corps or revenue marine service of the United States during the Civil war shall be paid by the state, as state aid the sum of $50 each, annually proof of qualifications to receive the same and as to the time and manner of payment thereof and receipt there for as the comptroller shall prescribe l ne exemption rom taSaIlOn provided by Section 2315 of the general statutes and amendments thereof of the prop erty of pensioned soldiers, sailors or marines of the United States and of persons resident in this state who have served in the army, navy, marine corps or revenue marine service of the Unit ed States, or the widow, or widowed mother or pensioned widow, father or mother of any such person shall not apply to the property of any person entitled to state aid under the pro- vision of this act.

The appeal has been perfected by Attorney Comstock in behalf of J.
 Raymond Palmer in the case of the
 eoard of water commissioners vs. J. Raymond Palmer. which concerned the condemnation of the Stony brook res- ervolr land, which is the farm of Mr.
 Palmer. The matter was heard by Judge Shumway, who awarded MT. Palmer $4,500. Following that mo- tice of an appeal was taken but the
 appeal has been perfected and was
 lodged in the office of the clerk of the superior court this week.
 The appeal is taken on the grounds that the judge erred in denying the
 motion, made by the counsel for the
 defendant to quash, which motion was argIed before Judge Shumway, the day the case was drst started.
 The case will now go before the supreme court of errors for review,
 but il will not be argued at the Octo-
 Der session, as there is not time
 enough in which to have the case printed. This indicates that it cannot be heard until April 30. 1912, if it is ] heard in this district At Stony brook, Contractor Petrossi has the corewall up to a point within three feet of the top, the entire dis

DENY RUSSIAN ATROCITIES
Russian Consul at Tabriz Says Such
Reports Are Calumnies.

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-The Rus
sian consul at Tabriz telegraphs the
foreign Office that the Persian accusa-
tons about atrocities being committed
by the Russian soldiers are calumnies.
The Russian troops, he says, are treat
ing peaceable Persians in a humane
manner, although the Fidais commit
ted outrages on wounded Russians and
mutilated the dead
If any innocent persons persisted, the
consul says, it was doubtless due. to
the bombardment of houses near the
Russian camp from which the Persians
fire fusilades. The Russian commander
removed children and woman from
these houses and conveyed them in
safety to the Russian camp.
A Caucasion force of nearly 1000 is
now on the way to Tabriz

A Real Test.

During the recent wind storm that
passed over Marshall County, a tree,
over two feet In diameter, and about
sixty feet high, that stood on the
Humrichouser farm just east of
Plymouth, was blown down. The
tree fell across a wire fence four
feet high, the posts of which were
the Famous Cement Staple Posts,
manufactured by Fred S. Appleman
Of this city. The weight of the tree
crushed the wires to the ground,
but did not break a post nor pull
out a single staple.
Many farmers who have been
skeptical concerning the merits of
the Cement Staple Post visited the
place the next day and Mr.. Apple
man declares it was the best test
the posts could have been put to,
and that the accident has done much
to advertise his business.
