ON DEATH
 OF CHARLES F. THAYER.
he of connectieut's Men of Progress.

&ne of Conneetieut's Men of Progress.
 It is only three years since Charles
 Thayer finished his fifth term as layor of the fine and conservative Md city at the head of the Thames Estuary. In the years from 1900 to k912 his name was a household word Throughout the state, at least in all buses of politics. He was unfort-
 hate as to be selected to run for gov-
 nor in the year when Rollin S. Woodruff was named by the republi- ans to run against him, and of &ourse he was beaten. He had his &wn way in Norwich politics, how (ver, and he made that city sit up nd change some of its ways civic and political Some of his ways did not neet the approval of the thinking peo-
 e of Norwich, but they cannot deny hat the medicine he gave their city ia his ten years of service was good ur it.
 \ MT. Thayer had his ideals and am #itions Some of his ideals he Ihieved; in some of his ambitions he
 as disappointed. But his community nd his state will remember him as &ne of the men of progress in Connec- lieut.. and his influence and praise will 0main for this and future generations.

people are peace loving that the na- tional defense should be disregarded This country Is not looking for war but if anybody provokes it, the United States should be prepared to resist and give ''the other fellow" all that he is looking for.
 The people of this country do not realize the peril which it is facing at present, peril that is extremely grave. And yet the United States is not much less than a sleeping babe.
 It has been asserted that Germany And where is that outlet te be found Not in Europe. Germany Is accred- ited with saying that the outlet for it's people could not be found in Europe and naturally it would turn to this big and resourceful country. time ago it was thought that the limit of possibilities in guns had been reached in the 14-tnch gun. Yet England is at present using 15-inch guns on its battlefelds and so perhaps is Germany, although it is not known as yet"
 Major Hull asserted that the guns at many of the coast defenses were inadequate and that battleships of the European nations could stay miles at sea and Lombard and pour shells into the coast forts while the guns of this country would fall four miles short of their targets, the enemy's ships whose guns would outreach the guns of the United States just that distance. The muster was also featured by the contribution of $100 by Ernest E. Rogers. formerly captain in the Ma tiona1 guard, toward the fund which the camp is endeayoring to raise for the Hiker statue, to be erected in one of the New London parks as a mem oriaI to the soldiers who lost their lives in the Spanish war, the Phil ippines and the China relief expedi- ton.

NO CASES NOW OF
 FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
State Is Free from This Cattle Trouble. Says Deputy Commissioner Ingram.

s
 Deputy Cattle Commissioner Frank
 A. Ingram has issued the following statement:
 "The alarm caused by the report that the live stock on the farm of
 John A. Pilgard had been found af- fected by foot and mouth disease is
 not warranted. The facts are that no
 animals on that or any other farm in Connecticut are suffering from that
 disease so far as is known. It is true that the Pilgard, herd, consisting of "A cows, two bulls, Is young calves and five hogs, was suspected by pr. Ingram and Dr. J. A. Becker and
 quarantined as suspects. Dr. w. G. Houck, who is probably the most ex- perienced officer of the bureau of ami nal industry of Washington. D. C.. was available, being in Boston. as was Dr. J. A. Kiernan, inspector in charge of foot and mouth disease eradication work in Connecticut and Massachu- setts.
 Both were called to consult pr. h. gram and pr. Becker regarding the trouble, and, although the animals are to be carefully inspected by the state and government men. 1t is practically decided that the apparent trouble Is not due to foot and mouth disease. Dr. Ingram and Dr. Kiernan state that the Pflgard premises were nfosl carefully disinfected by the state and govern ment force last fall and has since been kept in good condition by the owner and that time enough has elapsed to
 make the premises safe for stock.
 'Dr. Ingram says that New London county, as well as New Haven and Hartford counties, are free as far as
 known and no further trouble is an- ticipated. Commissioner Phelps has
 not relaxed his efforts to eradicate the disease for nearly six months and is on the alert continually. Dr. Ingram says more than 10000 cattle have been

and the state. It was not as a law yer that MT. Thayer commanded most
 urgently the respectful consideration
 of this entire section. though his place in the legal profession was an
 enviable one, but as a citizen and as
 one who was keenly alert to- the re- responsibilities and importance. of his citizenship. MT. Thayer was a tnlnk-
 CT and a doer of deeds. He was emil
 nently his own man. He was virile
 and keen possessed a trenchant pen
 and a ready and reaching speech and
 root of things and battling sturdily
 and capably for his convictions. No city in Connecticut possesses a citizen
 more alive than was Charles F. Thay-
 CT, nor one who more infrequently
 lapses from active interest in it's af- fairs. Norwich recognized his worth and five times honored herself by electing him to the headship of her government. And in turn he did many things for Norwich that anoth- CT could scarcely have accomplished, notably giving her possession of her lighting. plant. His passing is the sud- den extingufshment of a bright light. Neither Norwich nor eastern Connec- ticut could well spare him.-New
 London Day.
 Laid Foundation for Others. He found a good deal of fault with things as they were and many of the things with which he found fault were faulty. Some of his negatives laid the foundation for the positives
 in Connecticut improvement which
 other men brought about. Perhaps
 they even inspired these other men.
 But they were not of assistance in advancing him to a. commanding po-
 sition in his state. His personality
 was strong. Ills speech-particularl
 his fault finding speech-was direct. He made powerful opponents. And
 these opponents were often able to
 convince those who knew him only
 through his utterances that he was

 haps even a dangerous radical He
 never would be satisfied with things as they were.

tricals in Grangeville and generally in
sereamingly funny comedy part, have
never seen her in as amusing and redi-
culous part as that of "Texana Gump, .
hired girl at the Juniper home. "Tex-
ana will without doubt be universally
declared to be the funniest part ever
given in home talent play in Grange
vile and Miss Long is making excellent
progress with the role at rehearsals.
Miss Irene Parsons has the part of
Victoria Dale young lady who is
used to having her own way and shows
it. The part admits of limitless Ella
boration, even beyond the scope in
dicated by the original text, and Miss
Parsons is making the most. of every
opportunity. Other parts are those of
deputy sheriffs and plainsman.
The play is novel and unique in many
respects, one of which is that the action
is continuous and there will positivery
be no long waits between acts. All
the action takes place in the same
room and there is no change of scenery,
necessitating those long tiresome waits,
which are sometimes the rule, called
for in this production. The Friars as
sure their friends that at no time dur
ing the whole play will the curtain be
down more than five minutes.
Prior to the last act of the play the
Fourth of July committee will formally
count the votes and close the voting
in the contest for Queen of the Carni-
val for the celebration The result in
the contest will be announced at that
time.

That the farmers of Idaho county are
standing with Governor Alexander
shoulder to shoulder on the north and
south railroad proposition was plainly
evidenced by the passing of the follow
ing resolution without any dissenting
vote: Resolved, that we approve and
heartily endorse the movement of
Governor Alexander to investigate the
feasibility of a north and south rail
way Coming as it does from an
organization of four to five hundred of
the most well-to-do farmers in the
county, it shows the sentiment in this
community among the country people,
who are the backbone of the country,
is very favorable to the movement.
The delegates were entertained right
royalty by the Cottonwood Citizens and
are lavish in their praise of the excel
lent treatment received. Before ad-
journment it was voted to hold the
