FIRE DANGERS AROUND FOURTH

FIRE DANGERS AROUND FOURTH
 Just now the people in almost every city are being warned to be careful about fires around the Fourth: In the promiscuous discharge of fire works there IS always more or less danger of property being set on fire and once a fire gains any headway there is no telling where it will stop or what the damage will be. Danger from fireworks is not to be confound- ed with the firing of buildings as joke. which has been done on many occasions in New Britain and prob ably other places.
 Many will remember the efforts that we're repeatedly made to burn the old band stand which stood for so many years on the southern part of Central park. It has cost the city a good sized sum of money for police service to protect that building, not from the rough element, but from the elite, who had misconstrued the statement of one John Adams. who said that In- with the ringing of bells, the dis charging of cannon and as they fig ured it out the burning Of bandstands, but the old building stood until it was torn down under lawful authority. It Is recalled that one supernumerary upon being detailed with several others to watch the band stand on the night before the Fourth, asked where he should station himself and was informed that he should get into 1t and stay there until morning, and if there were any rows started nearby not to leave his place. This precau- tion was taken because in the pre- building to stop what they thought was a fight and while they were gone some one set fire to the building, but the blaze was quickly extinguished. There does not appear to be so much of that kind of thing carried on now adays. but there Is still need of watch fulness as regards fire. |
 The department has been called out several times in years past to extin- guish incipient fires when the only object of the disturbers was to bring out the fremen. That kind of thing is against the law and those who may feel inclined to commit such an of- fense this year may well keep this fact in mind. It may be the means of saving them some money

More power to the arm of Austria

More power to the arm of Austria as she deals righteously and sternly with the groups of anarchists within her borders. Those who make a busi- ness of assassination need not be sur- prised at the passion with which their program is greeted by those who are the victims of their bloody trade. The greater the number of anarchists inn prisoned or put to death in Austria the less the number able to flee the country and bring their detestable doctrines here.-Ansonia Sentinel.

Pennsylv lvania railroad passenger trainmen have received instructions that whenever passenger coaches are crowded a member of the train crew must announce the number of seats available in other coaches, and must also tell the number of seats available in each coach. Special attention is di- rected to this practice at the larger terminals where passengers are liable to be inconvenienced by the conges- tion of travel.-New Haven Union.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

It is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do a
tremendous amount of work in remov-
ing the poisons and waste matter from
the system by filtering the blood.
During the winter months especial
ly, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food, thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended Evidence Of
kidney trouble, such as lame back, an
noying bladder troubles, smarting OF
burning, brick-dust or sediment, sal
low complexion, rheumatism, may be-
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help
Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
Many physicians claim that an her
bal medicine containing no minerals
or opiates has the most healing influ,
ence. An ideal herbal compound that
has had most remarkable success az

and Seek Food in City.

Sacramento, Cal.-The first INSTALL
ment of the army of unemployed, the
insurgents, arrived in Sacramento
from Davis 470 strong. Piling off the
train which had carried them from
Yolo county they marched to an en-
closed tract near the Southern Pacific
station.
Four hours later the vanguard of
General Kelley's army poured into the
city. There were $50 of them. In
two hours more 500 more of the regu-
lars arrived. Nine hundred more were
expected on the first morning train,
making the total about 1000.
The armies camped under the eyes
of a squad of 40 policemen and ten
deputy sheriffs. The authorities made
ne attempt to dispense the men. Chief
of Police Johnson's only orders were
to prevent them from escaping from
the enclosure, which is surrounded by
high board fence.
Despite the vigilance of the police
200 scaled the fence and got into the
city.
The city commission of Sacramento
will take no steps toward feeding the
men, and probably will refuse them
transportation farther. The deter
mined stand was made when the gov
