World of SportI

Managers of the teams of the inter. state basketball league met Sunday afternoon at hotel Dewitt, Webster, and decided to secure some Massa- chusetts town to take the place of Dan- ielson, which is considered out of the league because no hall can be secured.
 Putnam, Webster, Sonthbridge, Millbury and Oxford were represented at the meeting and all expressed satis- faction over the progress of the league. The argument over home players, that was started at the last meeting, was continued without result. Putnam was alone in advocating strictly local team.
 Horne, Peloquin and Taft, members Of the committee on schedule, post poned their report until the question of a team to take the place of Daniel son Is settled. The bylaws and rules Committee, White, Cordier and Taft' said a report will be ready Sunday.
 A meeting of those interested in the Putnam team was held in Hammond hall, Tuesday evening and it was de- cided, In view that the other teams were going to hire out-of-town players, that the Putnam team would with draw from the league. Putnam has learned its lesson throughly and never again does it want high salaried players and small audiences.

Prison Sunday October F

For some time past, In compliance with circular letter sent out by Judge Edgar M. Warner, superintendent of prison and jail work for the State Christian Endeavor Union, one Sun day in each year has been set apart by the clergy and others to be observed as Prison Sunday. On this Sunday ad- dresses are made from the various pull pits tending to create public interest in the unfortunates In prisons and jails, and to devise means for better sys. tams in penal institutions looking to the uplift and salvation of the inmates.
 Prison Sunday comes on the fourth Sunday in October, this year being the 22d of the month. The Connecticut Citizen for October has devoted several pages to this branch of the Union $ work, and says that 50 per cent. of the inmates of jails and warehouses are there because of an uncomfortable de- sire for intoxicants. One of the aims of the reform Is to separate these un- fortunates from felons, and to this end 1t is thought the present greatest need Is Farm Colony for drunkards where they can be sent indetetminately, caus. ed to lead wholesome lives in the fresh air and restored to manhood. The Cit. zen says
 No moral reform ever gets itseli adopted unless the Churches believe in and advocate 1t. The condition of ouI ails and prisons needs the attention of all citizens and it Is proper that cler- gymen preach on the subject of crime and prison reform.
 In 1884 one hundred and seventy elergymen met in New York city to consider how best 10 arouse public in Ierest in crime and criminals. They appealed To clergymen to set apart ont Sunday in the year for the subject. Sc it has come about that the fourth Sun day in October has been generally ob served as Prison Sunday by the churches.

An Interesting Historical Incident

A New York paper Of September 25th has the following interesting ar ticle in regard to the late Jeremiah 0Iney of Thompson. The George W. Davis mentioned In the article is now General Davis.
 On September % Jeremiah Olney, postmaster at Thompson, Conn, wrote the Secretary of the Navy that from perfectly reliable source he had learn ed the lBermuda was the, Savannah, having on board "eighteen rlfied can non, 82-pounder, 42-pounder, two S-pounders, with carriages, equip ment, powder, shot, etc.; $500 Enfield rifles, some 100000 or 3OO,OOO cart ridges for these guns, 60,00O pair army shoes, 10000 blankets, lSO barrels of gunpowder, large quantity of nor phine, quinine and other medical stores, together with many other afti- ees,n which the writer believes were s'of more than money value" to the Confederate army.
 "My informant had this from the mate of the vessel by word of mouth, ," the letter stated.
 On October s the postmaster wrote ti3t fDItfIAdlf dEuIlis JlilE liia iiiiOt iii7 ant also had information Of the de- lenses in Georgia. In answering this letter Secretary Welles told the post master that his letter of September 30 "bfought us the first knowledge of the entrance Of the Bermuda"
 The person who supplied Postmaster Olney with this valuable information was George N. Davis, a resident of Thompson, who for a year had been employed at Darlen, Ga, as q private tutor. On September IS he was at Sa- vannah and saw the Bermuda. Hav- ing a knowledge of marine matters, he had entered into conversation with the mate Of the ship, who had told him the character of the cargo.
 MT. Davis was arrested before he could leave Savannah because of this Knowledge, but was released, and pro- ceeded north i'll company with John F.. Ward Of Savannah, former minister to China, who was bound to Europe to see his family, who were ill.,
 The belated news of the Bermudn's arrival raised In the North storm against the navy, and letters of censure and advice poured in on the depart. ment One man, George NJ. Barnard of Boston, offered to form company, and give bonds if necessary, ito close the port of Savannah so that not wherry can get in or out.e

Attempt to Murder Jailer

Shortly after six o'clock Wednesday evening some unknown person at- tempted to murder either Jailer Fields or assistant Jailer ark, at th4 county jail in Brooklyn. Inc sno1 was fired al assistant jailer Park as he was on a back yeranda securing a screen door which had been slamming in the wind. As MT. Park bent over there was the report of pistol and bullet whistled by his head, crashed through a window, tore off some plastering in the kitchen and could not be further traced.
 Whether the bullet was intended for the jailer or his assistant is not known. Both are large men and might easily he taken one for the other in the dark. The only clue to the person who fired the shot comes from woman who saw man running from the jail about the time the.shot was fired. The re- port sounded dead either from q max im deadener or on account of the wind.

has been the custom to issue warrants
against the road fund and take them
up later when taxes are paid. This
is entirely prohibited under these
opinions. This, of course, is regret
table, as there are hundreds of farmers
in new settlements who will suffer
severely. But there is one good feat
ure; it will aid in bringing the mat
ter of road building to scientific and
business basis. Heretofore, Tom,
Dick and Harry have built roads
regardless of expense, supervision or
real need. All they needed was polit-
ical pull The result has been that
thousands and thousands of dollars
have been squandered in impossible
places and under incompetent super
vision. The construction has been
simply to fill in mud holes in the
summer and grind them out again in
the winter. 1t is sincerely hoped
that the road question will be settled
on a definite plan 50 that hereafter
when taxes are raised for road max
ing, the money will be expended for
nothing else and that dollars worth
of road be built for every dollar
worth of taxes paid.

ton with the Oregon & Washington
Railroad. The purpose is to boost
the Angora and Mohair industry of
the Pacific. Northwest. The book
makes man feel like getting hold of
some of the beautiful animals and
raise mohair for the market. 1t was
always mystery why more people on
loggedof lands do not buy goats and
let them clear it as they certainly
will do, if given chance. At the
same time they are doing this they
are growing beautiful 1eeces of wool
which are always salable. The Pacific
Northwest has the ideal climate for
goats. They will need to be sheltered
from driving rains, but it seldom gets
cold enough to bother them. They
are hardy and on billy and broken
lands will do remarkable we'll. There
is certainly many places where goats
will pay better than any other kind
of live stock.

Frank Vanderljp, former secretary
of the United States treasury, who
recently visited the Northwest, in an
address at Portland advised all young
men to buy land in the Pacific North
west and farm it, After an insrec-
ton of this country and realizing the
wonderful future before it as an agri-
cultural country, he was so impressed
that he can see what is in store for it.
This is the verdict OF all the broad
gauge men who come here. Added to
a wonderful climate we have a fertile
soil and an unlimited market. The
world s great agricultural center will
be the Pacific Northwest.

The Pacific Northwest is attracting
more able agriculturists that any
other part of the United States.
Scarcely week passes that the news
reports do not tell of some noted man
who has settled in some part of this
county and will make it his home.
The latest we note is that of Theodore
E. Shaffenberg, who was for some
time the gardner of the Royal Floral
Display at Copenhagen. He is an
eminent botanist, and will no doubt
make name for himself in American
agricultural history.

work in@the state of Washington had
come to a definite and decided stand
still. The attorney general has recent

commissioners are prohi from

He has also rendered his opinion that

poses as road building at special
election, but must be voted general

sustained, road work will practically
cease. No general election will be
held for nearly two years, until the

April has passed, and contrary to
hopes aud expectations remained dry
and cool. There was considerable
less than the average rain fall, and
the farmers of the Pacific Northwest
must learn the lesson of proper till
age. Constant tillage will save the
moisture, and this will be needed to
produce crops this season, as the
moisture in the ground is very limit
ed. The cool nights have also delay
ed spring vegetation, but probably
saved the fruit crop west OF the
Cascade mountains.

The loss of fruit the Pacific
Northw est has received by frost, will
reach large proportions. Just how
large it is impossible to tell at this

there is no doubt. Peaches, early

berries are cetainly badly bitten, bat
the great apple crop is no doubt safe.

The Pacific Northwest is not alone
in it's loss of fruit by the untimely
late frosts, as similar stories come
from Colorado, Missouri and other
fruit belts. This is certain to make
fruit high this year and every man
who has fruit of any kind should lose
no opportunity to produce the best
and get it to market in the best pos
sible shape. 1t is worth good money.

there seems no probability of its be-

Democratics have practically decided
to 90 into the whole matter of tariff
revision, and if they do, Congress
will be in session all summer, and
probably nothing will be accomplish
