WOMAN WAS INJURED.
In an Automobile Collision at New
London, Conn, Last EVENING.

New London, Conn, Jan. 19.-For-
mer Mayor George M. Landers of New
Britain, who recently married Mrs
George Sheffield, daughter of the late
Prof. Sanford of Yale, and one of the
residents of the fashionable Pequot
colony, figured in an automobile collision
last evening that may cost the life of
Mrs. Christopher G. Newbury, wife of
one of Waterford prominent farmers.
Mr.. Landon was returning from Hart
ford in his automobile and was about
four miles from New London, when a
carriage with Mrs. Newbury and Mrs.
w. Lewis suddenly came into view,
crossing the road diagonally, it is al
legged, and before the chauffeur could
stop his machine the carriage was hit
broadside and both occupants thrown
out. Mr.. Landers and his chauff eur
picked the women up and, taking them
in the automobile, sped as fast as the
condition of the roads would let them
for the Memorial hospital.
Mrs. Newbury's skull is fractured and
she is unconscious. Her companion es-
capped with few bruises.

RuoAouSE KILLER

When B-flats bite your hide at night
Don't turn the bed or die of fright.
Just get some creosote and spray.
The bedbugs quick will get away.
II skeeters round your bald head sing
And jab you with their poison sting
Anoint with citronella oil.
The devils will at once recoil.
II lice Joy ride upon your head,
Tincture of larkspur kills them dead.
Dip your comb in kerosene
To catch all nits and crawlers mean.
When crab lice take a hold on you
Then strong tobacco tea go brew.
Just take a bath in tobacco Juice,
And the vile bugs will quick let loose.
When nasty reaches come around
Just sprinkle borax where they're found,
And II the moth the carpets bore
Go scatter salt upon the floor.
When fleas torment poor tommy cat
Pennyroyal tea Is good for that
Just sprinkle kitty well with II
And the mean fieas will soon be nit.
When fieas make good old Towser rub
Drop carbolic acid in his tub,
And II your Gagged bird has lice
A sulphur bag o'erhead Is nice.
When mites infest the chicken coop
Acosl oil spray quick makes them droop.
And II your hens have any lice.
Persian powder for quick demise.
II you have bugs not mentioned here,
Here is tho way to kill them. dear:
Just lay them ON the cook stove quick
And hit them with a heavy brick.

Six Governors Unite in Boom for
Roosevelt

New York, Jan. 20. Interesting reve-
lations of the manner in which the pro-
Roosevelt propaganda is being spread
through the coalition of six Republican
Governors in various states were made
yesterday by Gov. Walter R. Stubs of
Kansas in an interview in his apart
ments at the Hotel Wocott. Incidentally
the name of Gov. Chester B. Aldrich
of Nebraska was added to the list of
Gubernatorial advocates of the Roose-
welt cause.
1t developed in the course of the inter
view that Governors Bass of New Hamp-
shire, Hadley of Missouri, Glassock of
West Virginia, Osborne of Michigan,
Aldrich of Nebraska and Stubs of Kan
sas-all rated as leaders of the pro-
gressive wing of the Republican party
in their respective states-had formed
themselves into an unofficial but active
committee to keep each other and the
sponsors of the Roosevelt boom advised
as to the growth of the popular senti-
ment in favor of the nomination of Col.
Roosevelt by the Chicago convention.
Gov. Stubs admitted that the six
Governors were in constant communica-
ton by letters and kilograms. As a
result, he declared, he was in position
to guage the strength of the Roosevelt
movement accurately, and he was very
optomistic.
"Col. Roosevelt does not want the
nomination, said the Governor "He
has everything to lose and nothing to
gain by accepting it. His place in his
tory is secure. However, feel condi-
tions will impose the nomination upon
him. - Boston Herald.

$4,000 for Senate Seat; and
Honest"

Isaac Stephenson was elected to the
United States Senate by the payment,
according to his own sworn testimony,
of $107, 200. The committee of the
Senate found him not guilty of corrup-
ton by the use of this enormous sum to
secure his election. The report says:
Your subcommittee has given the
fullest consideration to all of the testi-
mony introduced and has considered it's
weight and effect under the rules per-
tanning to the investigation, and is of
the opinion that the charges preferred
against Senator Isaac Stephenson have
not been sustained, and your commit
tee finds that the election of said Isaac
Stephenson as Senator of the United
States from Wisconsin was not pro-
cured by corrupt methods or practices,
and there were not used or employed
corrupt methods or practices in said
election of Isaac Stephenson.
Three Senators are not satisfied with
the mild way the committee treated
Stephenson. We imagine that some
thing will be said in the Senate when
the report is presented. We cannot
understand how such a whitewashing
report could pass through, with ap-
proval, body of honest men. How
could such fund be spent honestly in
any honest election, even in the Senate
where such sums are VIGOROUSLY COM
mon and attract little attention? -
The fact that any man should spend
such great fortune to elect him to the
Senate should bar him out without
hearing. The lavish expenditures upon
elections has favored the elections of
rich plunderers with money and no
brains; while poor men of ability and
character find it impossible to get
chance to serve the state. 1t is a scan
dial that mere moneybags can be elected
while statesmen are compelled to stay
at home, because they cannot-and
would notAbuy their election:
In fact the giving of Stephenson a
clean Dill OF honesty in the spending Of
$1O7, 900 to secure his election is an
offense to the decent people of the
United States. That report, if ac-
cepted, will furnish precedent that
will fill the Senate with Isaac Stephen
sons for all time. Will Wisconsin ac-
cept the report of the committee; or
will that commonwealth condemn the re-
port, and make it impossible for bad men
to buy seats in the United States Sem
ate at 100000 apiece and over? 1t
should be impossible for any man to
secure seat in the United States Sem
ate by the expenditure of $4,000 or
more, whether it was spent honestly"
or dishonesty. Burlington News.

BUSY FOR ROOSEVELT.
National Committee Arrsnees
for Msetinq February s TO
DRAFT Plans.
(From Boston Herald.)

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Arrangements
were made late today by the Roosevelt
national committee, headed by Alex
ander H. Reyell and Edwin w. Sims,
former United States district attorney
for meeting of the full committee here
February 6, to discuss the progress
made by the organization in its move
ment for the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt for President.
kilograms were sent to Gov. Stubs
of Kansas, Glassock of West Virginia
and Hadley of Missouri, outlining the
suggestion of Gov. Osborn earlier in the
day and asking their presence. Gov
Osborn is also expected to attend the
meeting.
"If Roosevelt is nominated he should
carry Michigan by at least 100, 900
votes" said Gov. Osborn. The Gov
ernor said he believed Roosevelt would
be a candidate if the people of the
country demandedit.
Asked if he thought either President
Taft or Senator La Follett would &C
cept his suggestion that they retire in
favor of Roosevelt, the Governor said:
'If Roosevelt is a candidate, yes;
but they probably will not retire voun-
tarily. With Roosevelt in the field,
they probably would retire during the
convention, for he would be nomi-
mated. ~

TRIBUTE.

A TRIBUTE.
Tenderly cared for by Col. Harmon.
superintendent of the Soldiers home.
Comrade Rogers died in Bennington.
January Is, 1912, and on January Is, in
his home village. East Middlebury, old
comrades, grizzled veterans, gently
bore him to his burial.
Your local correspondent truthfully
said; HE was good citizen" A few
words as to his soldier life and
character.
His official record before me reads;
Enlisted at Brandon, Vt, June 9 1S6a.
Musteredin July 8, 1862 Discharged

this scant record covers three full wears
of service, without furlough.
He was private, and sought not
command; but his highest ambition
was to be always ready, and promptly
obey orders. In officer or private
where can we find higher type of
soldier life.
This obedience; this readiness for
duty at the front, multiplied the risk
and often led to dangerous work. If
picked men were chosen to lead an
advance, or to cover withdrawal, Rogers.
was always included.
He was a most successful scout in
his company and regiment. Never reck-
less or loosing his head, he took advan-
tage of cover, but the work he was sent
to do was done promptly and well. His
passion for active service kept him at
the front At Yorktown, Va, when
asked if he wished a short furlough
home, he replied, mo, something
might happen while was gone. ="
He was never wounded, or seriously
sick, but his daring led to many close,
escapes. 1t was not the spirit of
adventure that controlled him, bat an
earnest desire to serve his country in
her hour of need. He often said, Il
want to see this thing (the war; closed
up. will do my full share.
He was a good shot; his rifle was
always clean, and his cartridge-box
always full. Many anecdotes of him.

Comrades: Friends: On memorial
day pause a moment longer at the
grave of Rogers, and scatter your
choicest flowers; for he was worthy.

NOT A CANDIDATE BUT
Gov. Stubs Sure Roosevelt Will
Be Renom mated.

New York, Jan. q. - Theodore
Roosevelt is not candidate for the
presidency, but nevertheless will be
nominated and elected, according to a
statement issued to night by Walter
r. Stub, Governor of Kansas, who
lunched with the former President today
at Oyster Bay. Gov. Stubs is the
second Governor within "a hours to say
that he is going back home to work
for Roosevelt.
"There is no doubt whatever that Col.
Theodore Roosevelt will be nominated
by the Republican convention in Chi
cago and elected the next President of
the United States, reads Gov. Stubb' s
statement Il say this knowing from
his personal statements to me, repeated
during a personal conversation today,
that he is not candidate and will not be
a candidate for the nomination. / am
fully convinced he means exactly
what he says, and that he honestly and
sincerely feels that he personally has
nothing to gain by another term as
President.
but Col Roosevelt never has said to
me nor to any other living human being
to my knowledge that he would refuse
the nomination if it came to him as the
result of genuine demand on the part
of the American people.
''There is such demand at this time.
All the information | have been able to
gather from all parts of the country
indicates that that demand will persist
and grow and force the convention to
offer him the nomination. His patriotic
spirit, his courage, and his keen sense
of the duties and obligations of citi-
zen will forbid him to set his back
against task which the people demand
he perform.
Gov. Stubs took up the challenge of
Senator Brown of Nebraska yesterday
at Indianapolis, in which the senator
was quoted as saying that Col Roose-
welt told the truth four years ago when
he said he was not a candidate, and
those doubling that statement i'm
peached Roosevelt's integrity. Gov.
Stubs said:
There is a vast difference between a
man stating that he is not a candidate
for and does not want office and a
statement that he would refuse to ac-
cept that Office when the public welfare
was at stake and there was a wide
spread general demand for him to serve
his country. Col. Roosevelt was seven
years president of the United States.
During that time reforms of vital i'm
portance to the people were inaugurated.
There was general prosperity through
out the country. The people realize
what they owe to him, know that he is
for their interests as whole and be-
lieve in him."

A WORTHY DEEC

The recent actin of Mrs. Hartman, widow OF
the late Edward II Hartman, in providing a
Thanksgiving car for the good people of eastern
Idaho to fill with the necessaries and luxuries OF
life for the poor of Boise, and later transporting it
free to the Idaho capitol, altogether noble and
ought not to b passed by unnoticed. 1t was one
Of that kind of acts that makes all hearts beat Just
a little faster for having known.
incidentally it gives the public a brief glance
into the life of this the silent partner" Of the
great Hartman.
May IL not be-nay is II not so-that the same
womany heart which prompted this recent gener-
Gus deed has had much to do with the rise and
development of the man who before, he died, was
the greatest example Of individual achievement in
the world? She his bride in his obscurity and
she remained his mate and companion when the
world showered its paudts upon him. 1t is not
dicult to understand how potential such infu-
ence as hers might be upon the she loved
most in all the world.
Think of it may Mrs. Hartman is doing
just the kind of things that bring the units of the
great human family into closer kinship. Such
act goes far beyond all discourse in ameorating
the growing feeling of class distinction and caste
in country. 1t demonstrates that not all the
rich people in America are without hearts, and
sympathy for their less fortunate fellows.
Mrs Hartman by her act has not only blessed
the poor of Boise but she mas blessed the gener-
givers of the goods, also and, incidentally the
world.
