TAX LAYING DEFERRED
Until Completion of Grand List-Ad- journed Town Meeting Lasts But 20 Minutes,

There was but g. small attendance at the adjourned town meeting held in the town hall Saturday afternoon and the business was finished in less than 20 minutes c. A. Capen acted as moderator of the meeting on motion of E. Frank Bugbee.
 The eight clauses in the warning were taken up in order, the first three, embodying the reports of the town treasurer, the school committee and the other town officials, being accepted as printed and distributed previous to the meeting.
 The school expenses of the town, as estimated by the committee and ap- propriated by the meeting, will amount to s60,000, an increase of s5,000 over the year previous. H. c. Lathrop of the town school committee asked for the appropriation and stated that the additional amount was required for ex tra teachers. for apparatus purchased last year but not yet paid for, for more fuel and a larger amount due to the state in connection with the model schools because of the extra per capita cost of the other town schools
 On motion of George F. Taylor ot the building committee of the town, the expense of new sidewalks and grading was incorporated with the annual town appropriation, as this expense could not be met with the amount at the dis posal of the building committee.
 The customary sum of $950 was voted to St. Joseph's hospital upon a resolution introduced by Guilford Smith. One hundred dollars was alsu voted for the city missionary The matter of laying tax was deferred until the completion of the grand list

zTHRoueH WITH REPUBLICANS
And Albert E. GurIey Will No Longer s Promote Storrs TroIIey-Failed to Get.Promised Nomination.

@ As a result of his failure to secure Hhe republican nomination for repre- Sentative to the general assembly at friday nights caucus, Albert E. Guriey of Jackson street, over 70, and resi- Aent of this city most of his life. an hounced Saturday that he WAS tnrougn Syith the republican party and that ne nvould have nothing to do with the ao- Eancement of the cause of trolley 10 Etorrs. of which he has recently been an earnest advocate.
 Some time before the caucus MT Eurley announced his candidacy anu ne <ays was given assurance that nls f,aTrie would be presented to the cau- GUS. At that time he stated that he &vished to go to Hartford to be present fin person to urge the advantages or the 4rolley scheme, but that he would re- Sign his activities if he did not secure fhe nomination. That statement un ldoulbtedly killed any chances which he auay have had of getting the nornina fion. At the caucus Friday. MT. Gurley's name was not presented, but whether he relied on someone to bring 1t before Agreed to do so, but did not, is not knotan. George E. HinInan. who acted as chairman, explained carefully that any other names to be voted on should be presented to the gathering before putting the motion to have the secre- fary cast one ballot for the second nominee chosen, but no voice was raised in opposition to the motion. Al all events Mir. Gurley says he il through, but does not state whether ht ,will vote the democratic or progressive ticket. contenting himself with saying that hereafter he will be "one the other

CRIPPLED iNEBRIATE.
William .Finnesan, Who Has Under gone Sixteen Surgical Operations, Sent to Jail.

There was a pitiful case for the town court to dispose of Saturday morning, when William Finnegan, aged about 42, was presented, charged with intox- ication, at session called at 80. Finnegan is a cripple, having his right leg cut off close to the body and the left leg amputated at the knee. He is, by his own confession to local officials, an inebriate and a dope fend. He was picked up here Friday in an intoxi- cated condition, trying hard to wobble along with his handicaps of artificial stimulus and artificial leg and SUD- ports.
 Finnegan claims Worcester as his home city and says he was released only recently from an institution in Massachusetts where he was receiving treatment for his weaknesses of indul- gence He declared he insisted upon being released, but that no heed should have been paid to his pleas.
 Finnegan' lost his feet in railrQad accident in California six years ago. Septic conditions that developed after the first operation to help him, made necessary a whole series of other op- erations and he had undergone 16, and his legs had been amputated piece by piece before he was finally well again.
 Under the circumstances that Fin negan was in here, there was nothing left but to impose a sentence upon him and he was sent to jail for 30 days.

sURWAYTo BOSTON.
Matter of Argument Which Results in Hospital Patient and Fine of $50 and Costs.

A discussion as to the existence of a subway in Boston, which took place about a week ago, led to a broken nose with which one of the disputants has been laid up in the hospital and a fine of $50 and costs on the other of lending party. The fine was imposed at police court Saturday morning and paid by the father of Arthur Trudeau, the young man accused in the case.
 Before the hearing MT. Trudeau had agreed to settle the hospital fees and provide for the partial support of the family of Charles Constantine, who re- ceived the injury, until he could re- sume his trade as 6, barber. In view of these circumstances Prosecuting At torney Bugbee recommended a fine in stead of a jail sentence, and his recom- mendation was adopted by Judge Shea.
 In the opinion of Attorney King, who was present at the hearing, the qfes- tion of the subway was rather trivial when the war in Europe presented such a wealth of material for argu- ment. Whether the Athletics will find the subway might be suggested as sure to start something.

 Thomas Bradford and Clayton D. Wright were nominated for represen- tatives by the Democrats of Killingly, at, their caucus Saturday afternoon. They are both prominent members of their party, which, it now appears will accord them the full strength of its support at the polls, having learned a lesson of value at the town election last Monday.
 At the caucus, the town committee chairman. George M. Filling, had some- thing to say as to the folly of sacrifice meeting. when the party had a chance to make a very successful showing if it's members had presented a. united front instead of venturing into repub- ests, as was done at the anfual town ican, progressive fight to help candi- dates of those parties This sentiment was echoed by other speakers, who pleaded for loyalty to party ideals and party candidates.
 For justices of the peace the fol- lowing candidates were named: Thom- as Bradford, stephen A. Douglas, Dan- iel B. Gallup, Joseph Halle, Edward l.. Brennan, Eugene Dumas, James B. Carver, Henry H. Oatley, Israel P. Chase, Elmer O. Mathewson.
 Alcott D. Sayies announced to the caucus that Lieut.. Governor Lyman T. Tingier of Rockville, democratic candidates for governor will be a speaker at a rally to be held here in about two weeks.
 Edward A. Sullivan was chairman of the meeting and Frederick E. Bit good was clerk.

A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother! If coated or your child is hstless, cross feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ail- ment, give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, be- cause it is perfectly harmless, and in few hours all this constipation poi- son, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough inside cleansing is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 5o-cent bottle of california Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle Look carefuily- and see that it is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company"

Prof. H. E. Gregory commends High SchooI-0rogramme for Firemen's Columbus Day Muster-Effort tc Start "Buy Barrel of APplss' Campaign-Morning Fire.

The report of Prof H. E. Gregory, submitted to C. D. Hine, secretary of the state board of education. on the condition of the Putnam High school, follows: The Putnam High school is in a satisfactory condition and ranks with the best schools of the state. It is ably administered and the plans for its development have been we'll thought t out Pupils and teachers appear to have combined to place an emphasis on quality work. It is a pleasure to report that the relations existing be- tween superintendent and principal seem to be such as will insure har- monious cooperation and that the friction noted last year is unlikely to reappear The recently inaugurated co-operative arrangement between the high school and the state trade school will undoubtedly result in benefit to the young people of the town, but 1t is possible that the curriculum. which assumes that boys may do substantial- ly two wears of regular high school work and at the same time complete an apprenticeship, may prove to be inn practicable The experience gained during the present-year should serve as a guide in arranging courses in the future. I recommend the approval of the Putnam High school
