Hunting Season Opens October First

There has been much discussion among the local sportsmen as to just when the open season on game birds would begin this year. A law cutting of week from each end of the open season, making it from October s to November 23 inclusive, has been pas sed, but owing to the fact that the le- gislature had not adjourned, the law did not go into effect until after 0cto- Der l, so that this year the open sea- son will commence on the first as in years past. A large majority of the hunters regard the first part of Octo- Der as too early for bird hunting on ac- count of the heat and thie kness of the leaves. Cutting of the last week of the season will save good many birds as under the old law there were pro- bably more birds killed that week than any other. During the last of Novem- conditions for hunting are most favor able and at Thanksgiving time many people have a vacation which they devote to the pursuit of the birds.
 On account of the doubt as to the law commissioners of Fisheries and Game have had circulars printed for distribution setting forth the law which is as follows:
 Quail, Partridge, Woodcock and Pheasants, October 1, to November 23, inclusive, (to buy,r sell or exchange game birds is unlawful.)
 Gray Squirrels, October l, to Novem- 23, both days inclusive.
 Rabbits, October l, to January 15, Ferrets and Dogs lawful, Decembe. l, to January l5.
 Ducks, September l, to December 8l.
 Shore Birds, September l, to Decem- Der 31.
 Rail, September 12, to December 31
 Deer, no open season before June l, 1917, except when doing damage to crops.
 Hungarian Partridge, no open season until November 1, 1913.

Suicide In North GrosvenordaIe

In fit of temporary insanity Mrs. John GrenIund, AZ years of age, com- mltted suicide Sunday forenoon by jumping into Maanexit river, above the dam, near the big mill of the Gros- venordale Company. The body was recovered near the dam.
 The woman, it was learned, left her home in the forenoon and walked to the river. None could be found who saw her jump into the water, but her actions during the last few months led the medical examiner to find verdict of suicide through temporary insanity. Mrs. Grenlund has been in poor health several months, and her long illness is believed to have brought on the melan- cholia.
 The body was taken in charge by Undertaken Leon M. Walker, and was viewed by Medical Examiner Dr. K. C. Paine of Thompson. Mrs. Gren- lund is survived by her husband and . six-months old baby. At the point where the body was found the water is extremely shallow, and person would have to walk considerable distance out into the stream before reaching the channel, where the water was more than three feet in depth.

The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army provincial staff band of Boston, Major Joseph Shep- pard conductor, came to Putnam Sat urday evening and gave 6 concert In Odd Fellows hall, two others Sunday afternoon and evening In the Star theater, this to aid the work of the army here. In connection with the concerts two fine meetings were held, these being conducted by Colonel Alex. Damon, New York, field secretary of the Salvation Army in the United States; Major Sheppard, Boston, and Major l.. NJ. Simonson of Hartford.
 These speakers were also heard at Putnam churches at the morning ser vices, Colonel Damon and Captain Seaver of Hartford at the Congrega tional, Major Sheppard at the Method ist and Major Simonson at the Baptist.
 The musical numbers were enjoyed by all. The band has some excellent musicians and soloists and their num- bers were received with enthusiasm.
 The arrangements for concerts, meetings, and entertainment for the many participants was in the hands of Captain Baglin and wife and entailed great deal of work. The expense was large but it was met by the sale of tickets and contributions although there was but little left after bills were paid.
 The meetings and entertainment were q success and it is hoped stirred up new interest in the work of the Army both locally and abroad. The many departments and the work of each was graphically described by the speakers in an interesting and enter taining manner.

 Claus Gran said Renick told him he was going to marry that Swede ia dy. Mrs. Kate Blackmar testified to seeing Reniek at the Sirine home once and sometimes twice a week.

He went to see her and asked her when he promised to marry her. She replied that she couldn't help it, she loved him so. He said he was . Jew and couldn't marry her, and he

Progress of the Sewer

The sewer on the west side oi the river is now completed and there is trunk line extending from Battey street to the outlet and connections can now be made. Until this week there had been break at the west bank of the river but this has now been connected.
 The Grove street section has also been completed and connections are be- ing made.
 Work is now progressing rapidly on Elm street, Bullock street having been completed. The digging is good, the soil being sandy, seeming to refute the idea that this locality was once a swamp. This street, is blocked to travel and passengers on the trolley have to transfer. Work is also being done on Railroad street to connect with the pipe near the new High school.

Muster Day, Oct. F

The plans for the big Firemen's Muster in this city Thursday, October 12th, are completed, except for minor details, and the committee have out lined day of sport and entertainment that will attract people to Putnam for miles around. It will be the biggest celebration the city has seen in years and doubtless a general holiday ap- pearance will prevail. A decorator has been in the city securing orders to decorate buildings and the business section and the line of march will be gay in colors.
 The tiremen have been raising a fund for long time past to be used on this occasion and many citizens have come generously to their assistance until a substantial sum has been raised. Five hundred dollars will be awarded in prizes and the various contests are ex- pected to cause much friendly rivalry.

been instructed to submit to the Paris
police scheme OF regulations for
minimizing the danger of the dissem-

the first place. that every theater shall
be disinfected after every performance
By means Of sawdust 6teeped in anti

windows and doors shall be kept wide
open in the intervals between the per.
formances. that the cushioned seats
shall be sponged with antiseptics. that
the cloak-room attendants shall under.
go regular medical inspection. and fn'
ally that the air of the house shall be
sterilized once a week by means OF
steam charged with formaldehyde.
