TAFTVnLE
Streets Washed and Trolley Service
 interrupted by Storm.

One of the severest storms of this year struck Taftville Wednesday aft ernoon about three o'clock, tieing up the trolley service and doing other minor damage. The temperature which was quite high at noon, fell considerably before three o'clock and just before the rain came it was so dark that the storekeepers had to light up. The rain was heavy and although 1t did not last long. soon filled the streets and gutters. Little damage was done in the neighborhood. Sev- eral telephone lines were put out of commission and the trolley service was affected, as the result of the power giving out. The power house in South Windham was put out of commission early in the afternoon and there were no Willimantic cars through Taftville till evening. People who live in the city and work in the Taftville mills were considerably delayed in reach ing their homes, as it took them over an hour to reach the square.

ways. of the building of an ade-
quate merchant marine.
I'VE have got into trouble in
recent years chiefly because these
large things, which ought to have
been handled by taking counsel
with as large a number of persons
as possible, because they touch every
interest and the life of every class
and region, have in fact been too
often handled in private conference.
They have been settled by very
small, and often deliberately exclu-
sive groups of men who undertook
to speak for the whole nation, or,
rather, for themselves in the terms
of the whole nation-very honestly
1t may be, but very ignorantly
sometimes, and very shortsightedly
too-a poor substitute for genuine
common counsel. No group of di-
rectors, economic or political, can
speak for a people. They have Meth
ar the point of view nor the knowl-
edge. Our difficulty is not that
wicked and designing men have
plotted against us, but that our
common affairs have been deter
mined upon too narrow a view, and
by too private an initiative. Our
task now is to effect a great read
justment and get the forces of the
whole people once more into play.
We need no revolution; we need no
excited change; we need only new
point of view and a new method
and spirit OF counsel"

HOPELESS CRIPPLE MADE
SOUND BY NEW PROCESS

New York, Aug. 12.-By a feat
Of modern surgery a two-year-old
boy, admitted 10 the Post Graduate
Hospital five weeks ago with de-
formities which in the light of med
ical science OF a few years or even
months ago would have made him
a hopeless cripple for life, returns
to Waterbury, Conn, to-day sound
and no9mal in limb and functions.
Bone traaspIantation. the newest
line of experimentation in twentieth
century surgery, reclaimed the
young cripple. Bones taken from
the bodies of healthy infants who
had suffered violent deaths and
placed in cold storage. were trans
planted into the body OF the boy, an
entirely new operation, which can
now be pronounced successful.
The little patient was born with
deformed feet, commonly known as
club feet, due to the fact that there
were not the normal number of
bones in the feet.
The ordinary corrective meas
ures hitherto employed by surgeons
in similar cases required the cut
ting of the ligaments and tissues
and the gradual strengthening of
the feet by the use of braces and
apparatus. This treatment occupi-
ed years, and even II it produced
corrective effect, never gave requir-
ed strength to the feet to bring
about what might be termed an eff
fectual cure.

property of the Blue Lick Springs
Company at Blue Lick springs, this
county, at a depth OF 800 feet. In

water recently failed. With the
bringing in of another strong vein
of the water and the building of the
Cincinnati, Licking Valley and Vir-
