 The conditions of real war were duplicated here yesterday Gwhen the Blues on their retreat passed through the Center. The men and horses were famished, having bivouaced the night before in plowed field without wa- ter. The citizens and merchants at the Center put out hose and all kinds of receptacles and the horses which numbered over 1000 were all given a drink. The lunch room. the bakery and all the fruit stands were cleaned out, the soldiers buying everything eatable possible. The town never be- fore did so much business in so short time. The officer in command ex- pressed his appreciation of the efforts of the citizens to relieve the desper- ate condition of his men and animals, and complimented the town very high 1y for it's evident patriotism.
 Charles Pearson addressed gath ertng of citizens at the fountain in the Center. last night, in the interest of the Social Labor party. Mir. Pear son is good talker and very much in .earnaet. His presentation of ex- isting conditions was vivid and his arguments convincing. The speaker represents only one wing of the great army Of discontented in. this country, and his propositions, whether accept ed as remedial or not, were listened to with respectful attention. The general unrest will take many forms of expression at the polls here in the future, and the Social Labor party will have a larger following than ever this fall, which is also true Of every party in opposition to the forces now corpbination of all these forces would accomplish the overthrow of government by class and bring about a change in existing conditions. Mir. Pearson made an earnest plea for extending the franchise to women, and asserted that such measure would be one of the greatest aids in the; struggle to arneliorate the condition of the working classes and obtain for them their Just share of the product of their hands. MT. Pearson will talk on the corner of eBruce and Barnum avenues on Thursday night.
 Eleven tablespoonfuls (estimated) of broken stone were carefully. placed on Barnum avenue at the corner of King street, last Friday, by two men in the employ of the town under direction of Nettleton. The street needed repairs at that corner and the residents of the vicinity are consider ing the advisability of presenting the town official with an en- groSsed vote of thanks.
