Camps.

New London, Conn, June 22.-W. E.
Meikleham, fierce on the Ya1e-Harvard
races on the Thames, arrived here to-
day and announced that he would visit
the crew camps Thursday. At that
time he will give the crews their in
struction and will send them away
with the gun to accustom them to
the method to be used in starting the
race Friday. His arrival brought to
light the fact that Captains Sturtevant
of Yale and Murray of Harvard had
tossed for positions Monday evening
during the course of a call paid at the
Yale camp by the Crimson captain.
Harvard won the toss for the varsity,
second varsity and freshmen four races
and in each case chose the west
course. The toss for the freshman
eight and the gentIemen's eight went
to Yale, Captain Sturtevant choosing
the eastern course for the freshman
and the western for the gentIeman's
eight.

CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT?

There can be neither comfort nor good
health where constipation exists. Most
people suffer from this cause at intervals,
many are chronic victims.
The old-time remedies for this very
common complaint are nauseating doses
of some powerful purgatives that leave
the condition worse than before.
In the new laxative, Pinklets, is pre-
sented q dainty, sugar-coated granule,
that is free from unpleasant effects, does
not upset the stomach nor grippe but SIM
ply gives nature the needed assistance.
Once use Pinklets and you will never re-
turn to salts, oil and harsh purgatives.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample, or
get a full-size 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.

CONTRACT WITH
SHERIFF PROVES
PUZZLE To BOARD

To make a contract with the new
sheriff caused as much discussion as
usual on the part of the county board.
Sheriff Hale desired man hired to fill
the place Of turnkey, undersherif and
overseer of the lockpile at $50 a month.
This was voted down. It was then
voted to pay the sheriff his salary and
$500 week for the board Of prisoners,
or, if he chose, the county would fur
nish all provisions, the sheriff to serve
the meals. The question created no
end Of discussion and called for much
legal advice before it was settled. The
vote on the last proposition stood 80 for
and 3 against. A contract was after
ward made with the sheriff, the same
as with the previous official, all prison
ers to be boarded at So. 90 per week.

Assemblyman R. B. Dickie of Mo- tn
Freedom was present and addressed the

desired on the part of the Legislature.
The question of state aid for country
schools was thoroughly discussed and
when thesquestion arose as to where the
money for state aid was to come from
the assemblyman stated that the state
univereity too could easily be cut, 5000,
900 in expenses and the normal schools
500, 900 more. This would give each
country school about $50 which would
be of great aid in their advancement
A number of other measures were also
discussed but no action was taken.
The bond of the highway commission
er was fixed at SIS, 900.

rope. Harry Braun, working for Fred
Wulf on the smoke stack job at the
Veneer plant, was hoisted eighty feet
in the air and dangled there for sew
eral minutes before brought back to
earth unframed.
The smoke stack is in course of con-
struction and was nearly ninety feet
high. The material is hoisted with
ropes and pullleys by horse. Harry's
duties consist in keeping the man at
the top supplied with concrete and
driving the horse. He hooked on a
bucket of cement and started the
horse, when his foot caught in the
tangled rope and the knot frightened as
the pull increased. He was jerked
from his feet and started skyward
in the perilous position.
