Names For Caucus List.
 [ Perhaps the most important for ward step by Putnam has been the installation of a system of sewers that covers practically the whole city. For many years Outhouses and cesspools have been a menace to the commu- nifty and warning after warning was given by the health officials that there was danger of an epidemic of typhoid or some other disease. This fear is now Nallayed and the city is in the most advanced hygienic state of its 1 history
 The taking over by the city of the plant of the Putnam Water company l so that it is now municipally con- i trolled and furnishing a revenue to the city, is the second most import ant step. The electric lighting system | has been changed from the arc light i system to an incandescent system. making the general lighting all over ] the city more uniform and the best it l has ever been.
 Then there has been wonderful inn provement of Elm street This street has been mud hole ever since Put nam has existed and the town and | city spent thousands of dollars with l out getting relief. Last year the state | stepped in and put in a amicite road l bed and the problem was solved This road bed was extended to Main and ! Pomfret streets so that the business section, aside from Union square, | which will soon resolve attention, is 1 in excellent condition. The trunk | lines furnishing egress from and in sress to the surrounding territory of l which Putnam is a center have also | been improved SO that 1t induces | buyers to come oftener to Putnam. l These recent progressive steps were 1 preceded by a new railroad station, new cement bridge over the Quine- i baug river a new High school and 1 numerous minor improvements so it | IS readily seen that Putnam has not been standing still.
 Big Game For Field Day. Putnam f1remen are polishing up their glass arms in anticipation of the l forthcoming game of base ball be- | tween the False Alarms and the All | Outs which is to be a feature of the i Firemen's field day to be held on the 1 High School lot ThurNday afternoon. l People have been watching. with much curiosity to see little groups of the men disappear in the early evening hours to some vacant lot where cu rious eyes would not see what was go- l ing on and there go through a train 1rg that had no semblance to profess sional base ball camps. Sore arms, legs, and hands followed at first but l that is past and the men are in the pink of condition and when the False
 Adams ring up for the first inning of | Thursdays matinees the All Outs promise that two bells will soon strike for their opponents. The best ball tossers in the department have been selected and the winner is to challenge
 any team in the city. The afternoon will start at Fire headquarters where
 the men will form in line headed by a
 band and march to the grounds. Be-
 sides the base ball game there will be
 numerous other athletic events but
 the national sport will hold the center
 of the stage. In the evening there will
 be a banquet at headquarters If the
 men are in condition. Soft seats will
 be furnished and bandaged arms and
 black eyes will not be barred All that
 is required is that the guest can lift
 knife and fork.

 Manoeuvres Too Far Away, , Putnam people who expected to SC, 1 i disappointed that the soldiers are car y rvins out the plans at the further ent
 Of the county and as far as people O , this city, who do not own automo biles are concerned the soldiers migh as well be in another part of the ma , l tion. It was first reported that Pom ! fret would be the site of the man oeuVres, but for some reason the To i cation was changed to Hampton I ! | was thought at that time that the at | tempt to take this city and its defens would be part of the programme an.
