 'Why, few nights ago I was com pelled to sleep on a cot just outside the room where Miss OConnell and Mrs. A. E. Hoban and her daughter were sleeping, because they had been terrified by their furniture being dashed about the room in dead of night. I had. placed my alarm clock on stand nearby and barely crept into bed when the clock was hurled downstairs. I got the clock and again placed it on the table, for it was still going. Hardly had I gone to bed a second time before the clock was hurl- ed across the room so violently it was broken. It stopped at five minutes past two o'clock

 Judge Nobbs' statement refers to criticisms of him published last night and this morning in ether papers. purporting to come from Col. Mat thew Il. Rogers, state secretary, Percy C. Farwell, chairman of the Republi- can town committee, and John T. King, Republican leader in the city Col.

Phelan,s appointment MT. FarwelI stated nothing about Judge Nobhs but did say that the Bull Moose movement amused him because of those who liked to shine in it. He said that James H. Kershaw and pr Dow R. Beebe went to work and found out how much sentiment there was in Bridgeport and then Mir. Stod- dard pushed them aside and took l hold of affairs
 Mi. King said that he would like l to know wherein Judge Nobbs ever did anything for the Republican par 1 ty other than to work for his own personal gains.

Keen Blade of Scythe
 Falls On Mans Arm

c. s. Wilbur, we'll known resi- dent of Otis street met with a pecu- liar mishap this forenoon that for time was thought to have imperiIled his life. He is resting comfortably at his home this afternoon, however, and it is expected that he will be about as usual within few days.
 Wilbur was carrying the blade of a scythe along Connecticut avenue this forenoon, when the blade which he held beneath his arm, slipped and as it fell, drove it's keen edge into his forearm. There was a profuse hem orrhage that led people who hurried to his assistance from nearby homes, to believe he had severed large blood vessel.
 The ambulance corps of the -emer-, gency hospital was called to Connec- ticut avenue and Baldwin street where he was growing weak from loss of blood. Dr. Platt answering the ann bulance call applied a tourniquet which proved a temporary relief and at the emergency hospital ne discos- cred that the gash was not as serious as was at first feared. He stopped the hemorrhage and after little rest Wilbur was able to walk home.

.DONLIN'S FRIENDS TO TRY TO SECURE
 RELEASE ON BAIL
CONSTABLE ALLEN tcENSuRED FOR THE WEsTPoRT NAH.
 BAG THEFT.
Special to- The Farmer,


 Fairfield, July 24.-Efforts are being made by friends of Bernard Donlin. who stole the Westport mail in the Saugatuck station Tuesday evening. to secure his freedom from the New Haven jail where he was taken yes- terday by United States Marshal Se- lah G. Wakeman and Inspector Lewis. Bonds of but $500 have been fixed by the government, but Up to this after noon that amount had not been se- cured.
 Marshal Wakeman in taking Donlin into custody yesterday condemned the action of Constable Hezekiah Allen who arrested Donlin. Allen is also the station agent at the Saugatuck- Westport depot and was with Donlin before the mail bags were carried away. Later when the bags were missing he suspected Donlin He did not give notice of the theft to Post master Charles. Harris of Westport of the loss of the mails until he had ap- prehended Donlin the next morning. Allen was the only one who knew that the mails had been taken. The United States marshal considers that Allen desired to reap the whole benefit from the reward of $500 which is offered by the government for the apprehension of mail thieves.

 With Black Paint

J. N. Potyin of 7s5 seaview avenue was the owner, until yesterday, of a handsomely polished, round bottom cedar. skiff, which he valued at up- wards of $50. Yesterday the craft vanished, and when,. today, the police discovered it, youngsters who had a piratical turn of. mind, had daubed the thing all over black, and hoisted flag on which they had improvised skull and cross bones.
 Potvin's cedar skiff was made black with paint stolen by the mischievous youngsters from the Congress street bridge. The high polish was ruined. and the craft, with it's equipment for piracy, would not have been recog- nized but for the vigilance of the po- lice. M
 Detective George Simons rounded up two of the boys this forenoon and be- fore night he expected to have Tnore of them, in tow. Two of the prisoners were Willie PraH, 15, of 746 Broad street, and Al Van Stone. The charge of theft was entered against them.

The People Must
Supply the Funds.

The present campaign for the
election of a Democratic President
differs from all others in recent
years. Heretofore the money nec-
essary for the expenses was sup
piled by men of large means, who
were anxious for the success of
the party, and mayhap, in some
cases, from those who thought
they could use it to their own ad-
vantage. This order of things has
been changed. Governor Wilson
has absolutely refused to accept
contributions from corporations.
great interests or other question
able sources, determined, if elected,
to take the high Office with clean
hands and under obligation to none
save the great common people.
The necessary expenses of the
Presidential campaign are very
great. Money is needed to pro-
vide speakers and literature to ir-
form the voters of the issues of
the campaign. This money must
come, if at all. from the people
whom now have the opportunity
to return to their own. The other
parties are being financed by the
interests as usual. The Demo-
cratic party must depend on it's
own members who are earnestly
solicited to contribute to the ex-
tent of their means or inclinations.
A dollar, if you can afford no
more; a hundred or a thousand, if
you are able and anxious that the
people shall rule. Send any amount
that the spirit moves you to the
Secretary. Hon. w. o. Davis, of
the Democratic Campaign Commit
tee, Tyler Hotel, Louisville, and it
will be promptly acknowledged.
The time is short, the demand is
urgent. Remember the old adage,
lie gives twics who gives quick
ly," and send your contribution at
once.

For twenty years or more the
New York Herald has, before each
Presidential election, carried on a
straw vote, the result of which has
always been ratified at the polls in
November. The paper is support
ing Taft, but does not color the
news to suit its favorite. This
year it is proceeding on a larger
scale than ever and has united
with it a number of other big dali
lies in the taking of the vote, in
GLIDING the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Twenty-Five states have so far
been canvassed, in twenty three Of
which Wilson has long lead,
while Roosevelt leads slightly in
five and Taft only in one The
total vote showed that Wilson has
nearly as many votes in the twenty
nine states as both Taft and Roose-
welt. The vote in the Electoral
College is sol, of which 266 is re-
quired to elect. The Enquirer
published a table to show that
Wilson will get between 300 and
400 votes and it includes in the
number of states he will carry the
pivitol states of New York, Ohio
and Indiana.
The result of the straw vote is
such as to I'll the Democratic heart
with fondest hopes. The only fear
is that the assurance of success will
make many voters relax their eff
forts under the impression that
Wilson will be elected anyway.
But Wilson will not be. elected
anyway. He must have votes to
make him successful and if the
spirit of over-confdence seizes the
people he will be defeated. The
opposition is active and alest. Tt
has all the money it needs and has
only to signify its desire to have
many millions more added to the
large sums already subscribed. Our
candidate will not accept tainted
money. 1t is up to the people to
finance his campaign. He needs
both money and their support. A
glorious opportunity has opened
for the Democrats to come into
their own. Will they accept it or
let it go by default9 We believe
that every patriotic man is anxious
and willing to do all in his power
to accomplish a result that means
so much to the American people
and will not only contribute as
much as possible to pay the legiti-
mate expenses of the campaign,
but use every individual endeavor
to spread the glorious Democratic
gospel proclaimed at Baltimore
