The child, he is only that in years and intelligence, is alleged to have stolen half million dollars worth of checks and some s2O0 in money from the United Cigar Stores Company. The poice say that Joe admitted his guilt. They say that he told them when he was sent to the bank i'm New York, Saturday, to deposit the checks and money, the sight of the large amount of cash and checks dazzled him. He decided he wanted to see the world and went to the station and bought a ticket to Kansas City. where he hoped he might become a cowboy
 As he didn't want the checks to get lost, he said, he left the train at AL bany and carefully hung the bag conl taining them on a fence where they were later recovered and turned over to the police. They have since been turned back to the main New York office of the company.
 Joe had $99 of the stolen money lief: and this the police are holding.

 MILES FOR SECRETARY.
 Mayor James A. Miles of Derby, who has the reputation of being the most popular Democrat in the Nauga- tuck valley, is talked of for the place of Secretary of State, and if he goes into the race he will make 1t lively for anybody else who is after the honor As a matter of fact, the Democrats are anxious to get upon the ticket this year a man from the valley who will cut into the Republi- can vote over there, and they are confident that Miles is the man to do it.
 For Comptroller, Mayor Daniel F. Dunn of WiIl~mantic is the only avow- ed candidate, and if Danny wants it, his friends in Windham county will put lup a big fight to land him on the ticket.
 No name has as yet been generally discussed for Attorney General out side of Talcott IT. Russell, of New Haven, who was the candidate two years ago.
 When Senator A. McNeil, Jr., was asked today if there was anything he cared to add to the foregoing, he re- piled that he did not desire to discuss the situation.

|M'NEIL DECLINES TO DISCUSS RUMOR NEW HAVEN COURIER HEARS HE MAY BE NAMED FOR LIEUT..
 GOVERNOR.
tNew Haven JSurnal-courier.) )

With the Democratic State conven-
 tion about six weeks off, there is aI- ready considerable discussion as to the makeup of the ticket below the place
 of Governor. There seems to be an opinion thatF nomination this year
 really means an election, and for that
 reason there may be some pretty fights
 in the State convention for places on the ticket.
 To begin with, it. is said that Archi-
 bald McNeil, IT,, of Bridgeport, is a
 candidate for the nomination of Lieu
 tenanlt- Governor. Ills aspires to that
 place, it is said, so as to be in line
 for the Governorship, if, in two years from now, Governor Baldwin should
 decide that he didn't care to be a candidate again. If reports from
 around the State are to be believed,
 however, the gentleman from Bridge port will meet with some rather tall and bulky obstacles in his path. One of these, and the most important, is the boom of Andrew J. Broughel of Hartford, who was the nominee two years ago.
 At that time Broughe1 boiled 73,903 votes, ran way ahead of everybody on
 the Democratic ticket except Governor
 Baldwin, who polled a total of 77,243 votes. Lieutenant-GfoYernor Rlakeslee

Made Him Ono Of Most Famous Plat

The sawdust ring and the flying ira
peze are not usually looked upon as
preparatory schools for the ministry,
but from this peculiar beginning
Charles II. Titzwilliam arose to place
of prominence among big platform
celebrities.
The story Of his life reads like ro-
nance. He was left motherless at
nine years Of age, and his father, who
was professional trapeze performer,
at once began training him for the
same profession. At twelve years Of
age young Fitzwilliam was doing the
trapeze stunts in the open arena.
His education had been utterly neg
lected, Of course. He knew only the
canvas pavilion and the sawdust ring.
His acquaintance did not extend be-
yond the people Of the circus, many
Of them being of the coarsest type
At twelve years Of age this poor
boy beheld with his own eyes the life
crushed out Of his father In horrible
tapeze accident This was the real
turning point in his career, although 1t
left him without a friend or protector
In all the world.
For twelve years more he battled
with fate. But he secured work that
let him go to school and later to COL
lege. His grit and determination to
rise t1umphed over difficulties galore,
and he at last found his place in the
world.
For many years Fitzwilliam has been
a recognized force among the big men
Of the platform He has crossed the
Atlantic sixteen times and is well
known on both sides Of the sea. He de-
livers lectures Of great power and
beauty and full of earnest purpose.
His life is rebuke to failure and an

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants OF
the family, the requirements ofsociety,
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworl ~ effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition of
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimiIative functions
healthy and active. From personal
knowledge, we can recommend Hoods
Sarsapar1lla for this purpose. 1t acts
on all the vital organs, builds up the
whole system, and fits men and women
for these high pressure d avs.

CHILDREN STRANGE
To TWO ALVES
When they See the Youths
They Jump into the Air
With Fright.

On Monday afternoon A. M. Lam
berton brought two calves to BaraboO
to be shipped by q. M. Hill, the
stock buyer and when in the northeast
section of the city some children came
out to take look at the calves which
were in the wagon. Now those calves
had never seen small specimens of hu-
manity before and proceeded TO jump
up and down like wild Indians just be-
fore battle. One of the calves hung
itself over the side of the wagon and
the other broke it's moorings permit
ing it to dash away. The owner Of the
calves proceeded TO rescue the one on
the side of the wagon and In the mean
time the other vanished from sight
with it's tail in a horizontal position.
Mr.. Lamberton hurried to The News
office with an advertisement and said
that for aught be knew the calf was
still running. AS he daily was just off
the press it was impossible to make
an insertion until the next issue and
in the meantime II. G. Black reported
the appearance of black calf at his
home on Cheeks hill.
