new settlers 10 the town of Oulu,
having just moved into cabin
which they constructed on the
Boulevard road just south OF G. K.
Peterson s farm. Last Friday they
were engaged In burning some brush
about the house, and their little
daughter, aged two years, was left
playing near the doorway. They
did not discover that the child had
wandered away until the little ones
screams attrabted their attention.
When found the child clothing was
all ablaze and although the fire was
extlnguisned with all possible haste I,
the child's body was frightfully
burned. Or. f. G. Johnson of this
city, who was called to attend the
case, reported upon his return that
there was no hope for her. On
Saturday evening at about 8 o'clock
the angel of death entered the home
and brought sadness to the parents
who had kept up hope until the last.
Owing to the abundance of the
potato crop throughout the country
this year potato buyers have not in
vaded this territory as they did last
season, and the OUTLOOK for while
was that the most Of the local crop
would have to be stored until some
time later in the season. Secretary
Day, of the Farmers Produ ce Ex-
change has been corresponding with
potato houses, however, and the
first of the week he closed a deal
with Albert Miller & Co. of Chicago,
for the shipment of what potatoes
could be secured here at the present
time. The price is said to be 80
cents bushel, +. O. B. Chicago,
which means about 39 cents a
bushel on board cars, Iron River.
Shipment will be mape beginning
tomorrow.
Fritz L. Carlson. who owns a
sheep ranch nine miles northeast of
this city, returned from Chicago
yesterday morning. He brought
400 ewes and lambs down to the
Chicago market and was more than
pleased with the price he received
for them. Comparatively few ship
ments received there bring the high.
est market price, and therefore he
had reason to feel elated when he
was offered the top price for every
one of his lambs and for all his ewes
except a yery few. The lambs
brought $3.50 and the ewes $40
per hundred live weight, and the
lambs averaged IS pounds.

HIGHER BANK RATE.
Action of English lnstitution Curos
 Bullish Activity Here.

New York, Aug. 29.-While causing no sunrise in well informed circles, today's advanced British bank rate doubtless acted as a curb on any lm- mediate resumption of bullish activity Likewise. it served to call attention 10 what is fast becoming a generally rec ognized fact-that the iuternauonal monetary situation must be reckoned with in the developments of the next few months. The four per cent. is tho highest posted since September oi last year, but was deemed inevitable mas much as London private discounts were from 1-2 to 2-t per cent. above the bank rate It is most unusual for the great English institution to raise it's discount ai this particular period, the last previous occasion haVinS been in the panic year oi 1907. when the August rate was 4 1-2 Po- cent, and advanced tD : per cent before the end Of the year.

SOCIALISTS PUSHING
 CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.
William Kellas and Albert 5oardman
 Candidates from Second District.

Local Norwich, socialist party held its regular meeting Thursday night, with George Moles in the chair. Rel erendum ballots were passed out to the members who are registered voters to select a candidate for the Second con- gressional district. There are only two candidates for the position William Kellas and Albert Boardman, both of Norwich. There are eleven socialist locals in the Second district. and the socialists say they are going to roll up a good strong vote for congress man that will surprise the old parties, and even the Bull Moses. who have stolen some Ofthe socialist thundre. Two years ago Edward Perkins Clark was the candidate. and he boiled 58 votes when there were only four locals in the district They expect to poll 1.5OO votes this fall for congressman. The state executive committee has voted to place Edward Perkins Clark in this congressional district as special organizer. and he will devote the whole of his time to distributing literature and organizing meetings wherever pos sible during the months of September and October.
 Local Norwich is going to have se- ries of open air meetings in different parts of the town, the first meeting to be held next Tuesday evening, when William Kellas will speak in front of the Greeneville fire house. IL is high ly probable that ex-Mayor Seidel of Milwaukee. who is the socialist candi- date for vice president will speak in Norwich at a noon day meeting some time during the campaign, probably on Sept 28.
 After routine business was conclud- ed the local listened a short sketch of the life of Ferdinand Lasalle, the great German socialist, who died in 1884. The talk was much appreciated and tbe meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock.

ESTHER W. TAXES MASS. STAKE
Five Heats Necessary Decide EvenBaen the Favorite Finishes Third-Dorsh Medium in Second Place-Baron A., Driven by Cox, First in 2.O7 Race

Readville,. Mass, Aug. 29.-Bsther w. won the classic Massachusetts stake for trotters which were eligible to the 2.12 class last spring in the grand circuit meeting here today, but not until the event had gone five heats Long Shot Cox driving the Pennsylvania owned mare to the front in the last three heats. Baden, the biggest money winner trotter of the year, was picked to carry away the Massachusetts, which was established in 1886, and has been won by the greatest horses on the American turf, but Baden was forced into third place. Little was thought of the chances oI Dorsh Medium which finished second. Oakdale which finished fourth, was picked before the race as the real op- ponent of Baden. Geers, however, with fast brushes through the home stretch, carried away the first couple of heats with Dorsh Medium, securing the sec ond by so narrow a margin over Baden that only the' judges could tell the winner. After two heats when Esther broke badly, Cox succeeded in getting her away ir the lead and made every post a winning one Baden was hard driven in the home stretch of each oI the last four heats, but was unable to get placed better than third.
 Cox won his second victory of the day by taking the POT race with Baron A., losing the initial heat by waiting too long before making his drive. Tommy Murphy took the heat with Longworth B. by a head.
 Will Snow of Buffalo outclassed tho f1el7 in the three year old trot, lead ing all the way with the Ally SenoFita. Lon Mcdonald took second money with Sox De Forest.

TRIALS OF THE GAME WARpENs.
Boat Hunting Has Taken Much of Their Time, and Their Every Move nent Watched.

The finding of a rOWboat in Fishers Island sound recently looks IS though it might be the end of the sveTal days hunt of the short lobster sleutbs for the rowboat which they found missing after a little trip away from shore at AIason's Island the other day says a Mystic correspondent, Notwl-n- e standing this, however, it was report ed that fishermen at Noank Otf4red to return the rowboat the game wordel s lost if they would pay the salvage, and that the game wardens hesitataG whether to pay it or to invest the money in a new boat to replace *he one which they borrowed froln Post master Bradley at West Mystic and have been unable to return. 1t is probably a fact that boat hunting oc- cupied almost as much of their time as did their searchings for short lob sterS.
 Meantime the vigilance of fishermen and lobstermen in this locality keeps up unabated and it is likely that there is not an hour of the day and few hours of the night, for that matter when the whereabouts of the short lobster scouts is not known to a square yard. Their arrival at different sections of the shore by either train or trolley is reported immediately and flashed down the line so that every fisherman in the place is posted at once. Wheth- CT taking the breezes from the south west in a rowboat off the east side of Mystic Island, or whether taking sweat in the brush in the neighbOr- hood of the fertilizer works, some fish erman or other has his binoculars trained on them all the time. Their presence in these parts. however, would lead one to expect that further evidence against fishermen is beins collected and that more arrests will be made at any time That the scouts are working at a disadvantage and therefore more slowly than usual there can be little doubt.

State Chairman Comstock, Mayor Ma han and Secretary Thomas Had an Exjerience All Their Own.

A story that is far to rich to be suppressed has just leaked out about an automobile party made up of a number of gentlement prominent in the politics of the state The scene was laid down in Old Lyme. where more than one motorist has come to grief this summer Implicated in the case in question, which happened the other week, were Charles w. Com stock of Montville, chairman of the state democratic committee: Mayor Bryan H. Mahan of New London. and Edwin $. Thompson, executive secre- tary to the governor. The state police held up the joyous autOists at a con- venient spot and haled them before Justice George GrisWold of Old Lyme On his spacious Veranda the prisoners were arraigned and the charge was a loose number plate.
 While waiting for witnesses, Mayor Mahan observed a car owned by the justice which stood out in the yard. He complimented Mir. Griswold on it's fine appearance, and after they had ex- changed views as to it's merits. the owner invited the mayor to take
