SHOWS ACTIVITY
Chamber of Commerce Considering "a.
 riOuS Plans
Meeting This Thursday Evening an I'm.
 pOrtant One

The Putnam Chamber of Commerce moved into it's new office on Thursday. held directors meeting there on Fri day, and received many new appliea- tons for membership during the week just past. The meeting of the body on this Thursday night will have much important business laid before it, as a result of the activity of the officers. It is expected seventy. i've names will be acted upon for admission.
 The membership campaign has been aggressively carried on by the mem- bers. Since the dues were raised this year, the present memb bers as we'll as the new applicants are signing up, to indicate how much they will pay. The dues now are two, five, ten and twen- ty-five dollars annually, the privileges being the same, and the only differ. ence being the amount of money that the individual feels able and willing to give to advance the work of the organ. ization. By Saturday night over $500 in dues had been pledged, with about half of the present members vet to hear from, and scores of good prospects not yet seen. This is gratifying to the officers because that sum had been set as the minimum on which it would be possible to do business and the chances appear good for enough money to go h program.
 The new offices in the Union block above the post office are already prov ing their usefulness. W. C. Kennedy, county farm agent, has his desk there, as the rooms are used jointly by the Chamber of Commerce and the Wind. ham County Farmers Association. Joseph l.. Ryan is in charge and keeps the offices open all day, and is avail. able both as stenographer and clerk for the two associations and also as public stenographer. A private wire has been installed by the telephone company, number 3S0, for each organ ization. Several meetings have al ready been held there and also the To- catien has proved convenient for in- formal conferences.
 A letter was received on Saturday from the kclipse Manufacturing Com pany of Boston thanking the Chamber of Commerce for the help that was giv en the company in locating in Put nam. It is understood that they will take possession in a few days of at least one room of the shop, and the rest at a Hery early date. Neither of The partners will reside here for the present but the man engaged in New York as an instructor of help will move here at once and so will about dozen skilled work bmen, all married men. It appears as if an impetus to building houses might result.
 At the meeting of the directors on Friday evening reports were made by A. E. Lown and C. 5. Andem of the visits made to the textile schools at Lowell, Fall River and New Bedford. A committee consisting of these two and J. w. Sherry, Alexander Gilman and Archibald Macdonald was ap- pointed some time ago to study the Trade School situation and offer sug. gestions for it's development. It is un- derstood that some definite action will be proposed soon.

THE FOURTH Woman Shot Through Neck but Injury
 Not Serious Little More Noise Thau Usual and Too
 Many Pistols

It can not be said that the Fourth passed off as quietly this year as here tofore because, in fact, it didn't. There was more noise than in some years past and this was apparently due to an unusual use of ,pistos and blank cartridges. It is to be hoped that in the not distant future there will be legislation to prevent the use of this dangerous mode Of noise making
 One accident was reported. Mrs. Annie CoZenk, IS, was shot by stray bullet from an unknown source while she was passing from an out-building to her house on South Meadow street. The bullet entered her neck and passed out the right side but il was of small caliber and did not infiict se- rious wound but this was only due to good fortune. The woman did not lose consciousness but proceeded to the house where she notified relatives that she had been shot. She said she saw no one and did not hear any report aud it is believed that the bullet was fired from the opposite bank .of the river pr. Perry gave medical attention and took the woman 10 the hospital. She is the wife of stephen Gozenk, 2, and they have three-monthS-old child.
 As the observance of the holiday fell on Monday there were scattering ex. plosions in various parts of the city Saturday night, all day Sunday and Sunday night but there were no acts of vandalism or any gang celebration during any of the time. Monday morning the rain put a dampener on many plans and reduced the noise for the time being. The base ball game in North Grosvenordale had to be called in the 2nd inning with Putnam hold ing one run. Shortly after noon the sun came out and during the afternoon many people attended the theatres, the base ball game and AleXandef's lake. The theatres and the lake also caught large scrowds in the evening. Before midnight everything was back to normal, The celebration caused six arrests. The streets Tuesday morning bore evidence of kthe small use of fire crackers as the usual litter was not 10 be seen.
