Mrs. Beecher's Portrayal Left
Nothing to be Desired
Large Audience

For her entertainment at the
Methodist church M onday evening,
Mrs. Isabel Garghill Beecher pre-
sented "The Wltcmng Hour" by
Augustus Thomas. The play is
considered one of the greatest, II
not the greatest modern American
play and its portrayal by Mrs.
Beecher was so vivid that the fool
lights, the cast, the scenery and
stage settings were recognized as
unnecessary adjuucts. Without
any of these things she held her
audiences interest until the last
minute Ut the play. She adopted
the characters Of the different
members of the cast with ease and
interpreted them well.

wATERBURY's WATER PLANT

We in receipt of neat little volume, with the of Francis T. Reeves mayor, which reflects the nan transactions of Waterbury of which the volume tains analysis.
 The figures tell story which must make every citizen of Waterbury thrill with pride. It is story of growth enterprise and constructive effort Nowhere is the of municipal ridehe feeling of the citizen that he is tle citizen of cyore reflected than in those pages which deal with Waterbury's municipal water ply the receipts from which have grown during the years much faster than the cost of maintenance.
 The gross receipts of that municipal business were 1912, $244OOO and the profits than $120O00
 They would be still greater, except that Waterbury las not yet cleared off the mortgage it's plant and hence paid $62 900 to interest.
 Says the municipal statstican SFhe physical valua ton of the ctys water system almost great the total bonded debt.''
 Waterbury furnishes itself with good water at low prce, takes large profit, and the plant which is constantly increasing in value.
 scrutiny of the figures shows that the cost of op erting the plant small and it is efficiently ducted than any private water plant of which any knowedge and the reports of many such plants into tho office of The Farmer.
 Waterbury is unfortunate in with other Con 1iecticut cities, excepting Norwich and Norvak not also owning it's electric light and gas plants.
 If the distinguished and public spirited mayor of erbury will investigate he will find that the people of his y much overcharged for gas and the prices for eee tricity very high.
 But Waterbury will be running close race with HArtfoEds before fhesend of the decade.

Circus EmpIoyes
 Who Were Injured
 In Big R. R. Wreck
TRAGIC FATE OF "DIULE' WHO
 WAS REAL HERO.
Big Negro, Protector of White Wo-
 men, Slain By White Brute.

Two caIarnities were recorded last week upon the long records of the Barnum & Bailey circus. The first was a serious wreck between an equip ment train on the Rock Island and the first section Of the show, at Ritch- field, Neb. The second was the death of an unknown co1ored man whose protection of the women performers from insults of 1iecntioUs ruffians IS believed to have resulted in his nur- der at Sioux Falls, N. D.
 It has been definitely ascertained that though no lives were lost in the wreck five were seriously hurt and 12 injured while many others known in Bridgeport received minor injuries in the overturning of a Pullman car from which they were extricated with diff dcu1ty.
 The commissary property crews were recruited immediately but many of those taken to the Omaha hospi- tai soon rejoined the show which en- abled the big enterprise to move on to Des Mofnes but little behind regu- lar schedule.
 Twelve were brought to the Clark son Hospital and of these the five who were the most dangerously injured are James Croghan, New York. bad ly lacerated legs; Allan Bosch, Spo- kane, Wash, twisted left leg; Joseph Moucher, badly injured about body;
 
 bruised about body; George Burke, Boston, injured about arms and body.
 All of the above were taken at once to the operating room at the hospi- tal.
 Following received minor injuries and left the hospital with a few days: Frank Moore, Bridgeport, Conn; Dan iel Driscol1, Fall River, Mass; F. c. Moore, Providence, R. l.; John Ste- vens, New York; John Brown, New York; Frank Clark, Waterbury, Ct.; Stanley Lewis, Jacksonville, Fla; Harry Sanis,s Mahoney Trucle. Dan Dias (colored), Earl Galloway and Tony Rakski.
 The following were all more or less cut and bruised. but their injuries were not considered sufficiently ser ious for removal to the hospital 1: Muggsy Riley, Harry Miller; Jerry Hurlep, Robert Smith, Pat Mcdonald.
