 more so. MT. Scheuy has made a good registrar for the republicans and it was that fact that served to keep him in office for the past nineteen years. His defeat may be charged up to over-confidence.y That, however, does not help now, ex- cept to cause him to be more careful in future should be ever decide to seek the office again. The republi- cans have been taught lesson this time that will cause them to make different arrangements for nominat- ing candidates for future elections. The old caucus method Is obsolete, it is no longer suitable for such a large political organization as the re- publicans have in New Britain, and 1t cannot be said with truth that the con- vention method adopted by the dem ocracy is much better. It is not representatives; on the contrary, it deprives the average member of that party from voting for candidates at all. It does permit of voting for delegates but that is a poor excuse for a vote for the man who wishes to have a say as to who shall be placed on the ticket for all party men to support or in failure to do that to cause them to go over to the other side. What is needed is the primary and that is what the republicans need, too That system permits all to vote for whom they please and when the primary is over the contest is over, So far as the nominating is concerned. There is no crowding. hurry or discomforts. This has been done in the sixth ward during the past few years and always with good results. It was employed this year when there was no contest at all. The republican general caucus was re- markable in many respects. How so many came to be induced to attend is one of the mysteries of that gather ing. There has probably never been a meeting when the attendance out numbered the party vote at the polls and it seems to be pretty generally conceded that if the men who at tended the caucus would vote the party ticket next Tuesday that it would win by safe majority. That, however. is not likely, though the leaders admit that they have a large majority, much more than they had in November two years ago and they are banking heavily on that fact for victory. It is an unreliable thing to base a hope upon, however, and the reason is plain. With the exception of a few years the republicans have had majority in New Britain and yet during the forty-three years New Britain has been a city democratic mayors have served twenty-three years. This is significant and may tend to show that the same indepen- dent spirit will be shown next week No one can. tell until the polls are closed and the votes counted.

 The recent addition, near the center of New Haven, of a. consid erable area of smooth asphalted street is proving too great a temptation to young peo- pie with roller skates.

 To anyone who realizes what the first risk in this city is, the action of Chief Mooney in appointing the. fit- teen captains and fifteen lieutenants of his force as deputy fire marshals to patrol the districts in which their stations are situated is reassuring.

 Mayor Joseph M. Halloran of New Britain has been re-nominated by the democrats and will again go before the people of New Britain at the spring election. There should be no question about the result Hallor-. an should be reelected by an in- creased majority His excellent record and clean administration entitle him to the support of every elector in New Britain.--Bridgepo Tele- gram.
 The farmer may as properly adver- tise his products as the merchant ad- vertises his goods. It might be added that he can profitably advertise his products. The increasing use of the parcel post as a medium of shipment for farm produce makes it much more important than ever before for the farmer to use the newspa- pers. Tn fact, if he is desirous of selling direct to the consumer and making deliveries by means of the mails there is no other method of ad- vertising which is so appropriate and 70 effective.-Norwich Record.

Market,
CTrom q staff corresrondent.l

LINCOLN. Oct. 9o--(special)-A hear
ing was had before the State Railway
commission today, Nho result Of a COM
plant made by ]. w. shorthill. secretary
OF the Nebraska Cooperative Live Stock
association, against the. South Omaha
stock Yards association for alleged over
charging for yardage on hogs shipped to
the South Omaha yards.
In effect the complaint was that a
charge Of cents per head is made, when
the charges ct st. Joseph and Kansas
City are but cents, according to Mr..
Shorthill. Mr., Shorthi1 was willing TO
admit that the character Of service given
by the South Omaha yards is superior
to that given by Kansas City and ST.
Joseph and also testified before the COM
mission that the cattle and sheep charges
are the same as at those points and the
same as at other western points and that
all other charges are practically the
same.
Enters Into Valuation.
Mr. Shorthlll attempted to show that
there were Inconsistencies in the walua-
ton of the yards as reported TO the state
Railway commission and as the COM
pany's books show. Mr.. Powell, rate ex-
pert for. the commission, who had been
over the books OF the company. explained
the difference by showing that the com
pany's own report includes both railway
and stock yards assets, while the report
to the commission showed only the lat
ter items. -~
The hearing developed that the shippers
have right to so before the commission.
Charges in other Places.
In the afternoon Mr.. Shorthill, on exam
ination by Attorney Frank Ransom for
the stock yards company admitted that
every other stock yards company in the
country, with the exception OF Kansas
City and st. Joseph, charged the same
price Of cents a head for yardage on
hogs.
While at first claiming that the specu-
lators at the stock yards were a detri-
ment to the sale OF stock, on question
by Chairman Clarke of the commission
whether he would rather ship where there
were no spectators, replied that he pre-
ferred to ship to yards where the speeu-
lators operated.

Foster Returns to Philadelphia and
Has Gone to PembertOn to See
the Girl.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 22.-Because
her parents baked at her attempt to
see Joel NJ. Foster with whom she
eloped to Mobile, Ala, Deliah Bradley,
the Pemberton, New Jersey, school
teacher, today started a hunger strike.
After being taken forcibly by her
father and detectives late yesterday
from the Windsor Hotel in this city
to Pemberton in an automobile, the
young girl cried until she became ex-
hausted and fell asleep about mid
night. When she awoke this mourn
ing she refused to eat breakfast, and
despite efforts on the part of the
family, she insisted upon fasting.
Foster, who arrived in Philadelphia
half an hour after the girl was
forcibly taken away borded a train
as if he were going to New York. but
instead alighted at North Philadelphia
and went to the Hotel Continental,
| where he spent the night. He was
registered as F. P Foster, of Georgia,
and left early this morning with the
purpose, it was reported, of going to
Pemberton to try to see the girl.
The girl said she expecter Foster
| to come to her aid. During the day
she became violently historical and
i abused her parents. Her father
warned her that unless she changed
| her tactics he would have her sent
| back to Mobile to stand trial on
charge of improper conduct with
Foster in that city.
