Republican, Iaiiy

The old fashioned Republican rally to be held in the Bradley theatre this Friday evening is creating great deal of interest. II is reviving memories of stirring campaigns in ,he past and it is believed that the speakers of the evening will be greeted by large gathering.
 The committee are fortunate in being assigned such able men as Congress- man F. x. Schoonmaker of Peansyl- vania, and Gustaf B. Carlson of Mid dletown, republican candidate for sec- retary of state. Mir. Schoonmaker was eaid glowing tributes fer his powers as an orator at the Republican caucus by men who had listened to his eloquence and he was by thera rated as second 10 none in the country. MT. Carlson is also an able presenter of national and state issues, and the combination is one that should bring together people of all parties from this section as il Is some time since an opportunity has been had here to listen to men of na- tional and state prominence such as these.
 The KiIties band of W aterbury have been engaged to liven up things and they need no introduction to Putnam citizens. Music, speeches, and enthu. siasm, will mark the occasion, and all are cordially invited to be present.

Seder's Store News

Seder's store opposite the Congrega- tional church held it's Fall opening last week and there were many buyers who admired the new autumn styles, spoke of the low prices, and were pleased with the newly remodeled store. The changes are apparent from the outside as the show windows have been panneled in oak with matched board flooring that makes an excellent window setting for the new styles in mems and women's apparel. The ex- pansion and growth of the Seder store denote that during his many years as merchant here MT. Seder has won the confidence of his buyers. His prices please them, his taste in selec- ton pieases them and the courteous treatment at the Seder store affords . pleasant opportunity to buy with conn fort. The opening was both social and financial success, for while the public were invited to inspect the store and the new lines, many went steI | fs: ener and purchased their fall wear ables on the spot, getting large as sortment to select from. All lines will te kept full for some time yet so that all may have chance 10 get the best that manufacturers and jobbers are distrib- uting. Drop In at any time and look over the stock. Adv.

 Advertisers will therefore please take notice that we are not to blame if their locals or reading notices or cards of thanks even are marked "advertise- mentp as it is the work of congress which passed the law imposing this apparently absurd requirement on newspapers.

Tonm, Tucker 1esd

Tommy Tucker, probably the most widely known cat tn this city, was found dead in E. T. Fuckers store Fri day morning. Tommy was about I5 years old according to estimate, and his death was due to natural causes, as it was apparent that he had been fail ing for some time.
 Tommy was a neighborly cat and there is hardly business place on the street where he was not frequent vis- itor, and the rats and mice that he has captured would make quite showing if gathered together. He also made friends with the farmers driving into town, and would frequently be seen eurled up on wagon seat sleeping as peacefully as though he iowned the outfit He has been writtenIup by en- terprising newspaper reporters, and hts likeness has been heralded broad cast oy the press.
 Tommy was always able to take care of himself and never turned tail to any dog no matter how big, and several

bear sears due to their misjudging his courage. He was both leased and pet ted, but he recognized his friends, and to those he showed loving disposi- ton, but through habits of cautious ness If taken unawares by some one who went 10 give him n love pat, he would strike quickly and effectively. For this reason to those who were not acquainted with him he appeared treacherous, but such was really not his nature, for he loved to be caressed and fondled ns much as any pet. He was big fellow and weighed from f7 10 20 pounds when rats and mice were plenty, but In hard times he feil off a bit, although no restaurant would re- fuse him meal when he demanded It, but his pride did not allow this 10 oc- cur too often as 1t was admitting that as hunter he was not up to the top notch. For few months past Tom- my has not looked like his old self. He became emaciated and moved about like the old man he was, and he was demanding more and more help from his friends, the restaurant men, as his prowess was on the wane, and he became discouraged and didn't care who knew it. He would sit tn front Of his fayonte rat holes, but he was of- ten seen asleep on duty, and that led many to believe that his days were numbered, so that when his death was announced, while 1t was received with sorrow, 1t was not unexpected. We hope that Tommy will be as well used in the happy hunting grounds as he was in inc streets of our city,
