Sentence of death will be passed up
on Silas n. Phelps, who was convict
e& of murder IN the first degree for
killing Deputy Sheriff Emmett r. Has
kins in the town of Monroe, Mass, on
June Y, 1903. At the time of the homi-
eide the law required that two judges
of the superior court should preside
al a trial for murder, but before
Phelps was placed on trial another
statute took effect which reduced the
number of judges to one. Counsel ior
Phelps raised the question that by the

not one which affects the substantial

DRIVES 96 OXEN
 TO GRANGE FAIR
 AT HADDAM NECK

Middletown, Conn, Sept. 6-John Cavanaugh, farmer. who lives in the Penf1eld Hill District of the Town of Portland, decided to take his family to the Grange Fair at Haddam Neck Labor Day. There is no railroad run ming between the two towns.
 MT. Cavanaugh owns ten yoke of oxen himself, and by borrowing from his neighbors managed to collect for ty-eight yoke. or ninety-six oxen a1- together. With these attached to a gayly decorated ox-cart he made the trip, covering the distance of about twenty miles in five hours The ser vices of twelve drivers were needed to guide the animals on the road. The line of cattle stretched for more than a quarter of a mile along the road, and it took them five minutes to pass a given point. On his arrival at the fair grounds Cavanaugh found that he and his cattle attra cted more attention than any other exhibit on the grounds.

Three Democrats
 In New HaVen'S Race For Mayoraity

New Haven. Sept 6-It seemed to De the general -concensus of opinion last night among those who discussed the Democratic Mayoralty nomination race, that the battle will ultimately simmer down to a struggle between Benjamin F. Milner, Capt. Edgar S. Dove and probably ex-Mayor James E. Martin It was announced, and this was later verified by the candi- date himself, that Attorney David E. Fitzgerald had retired from the race personally, in favor of Capt Dove, and that Peter J. Conlin would also withdraw from the contest. The pe- tttion of James N. States, technical objection to which was made because the signatures of a number. of men all appeared in the handwriting of Ber- hard J. Shanley. was thrown out at the special meeting of the Town com mittee last night, called to pass on this matter, thus eliminating him rom the race. It is expected that Mflner, Dove and Martin will file the amount of their primary assessments today, putting them finally into the race for the primary ballots next Tuesday.

 Reciprocity is twentieth century version of the old Golden Rule". It s the practice of doing the right thing by she other fellow; doing just what you'd expect of him If the positions were reversed. That's why the work ingman should throw aside the over time, cheap factory, child labor .o- baccos and patronize tobaccos that carry the Union label; the label that guarantees the real goodness of every package; the label that tells you that a competent tobacco worker working under decent conditions in a clean, well ventilated workroom and draw ing the regular scale for his regular number of hours is responsible for the quality of the tobacco you smoke or chew. Support the Label and give the other fellow a square deal by try ing out, Buffalo Granulated, Penn Spe- cial, or Sterling Stripped, three good union brands, now being featured at Eckler & Co.'s Sport and Smoke shops.
