NEW CRUsHER PLANT
NEARING COMPLETION

Due to improvements of the last
few years In the concentrating de-
partment at McGill, the tonnage hai
been increased to such an extent thai
the present crushing plant has been
found entirely inadequate. On &C.
count of this further increase In ton
mage is near to impossible with the
present equipment of crushers.
A new crushing plant is being
constructed, directly east OF the con-
centrator, which will have a max
imum capacity OF about $4,000 tons
per twenty-four hours.
A new set OF ore bins will receive
the ore from the mines, from which
bins 1t will be run through the new
plant and delivered to and dis
tributed in the present bins directly
behind the concentrator by convey
ors.
Three-fourths of a mile of track is
being built to connect with the new
bins and the present trestle will be
torn down and used for mine timber
at Ruth.
At the present writing the exca-
walton for the crushing plant and
bins is practically complete and the
concrete work is well under way.
Work on the new tracks and yards
is progressing rapidly.
1t is hoped to have everything IN
connection with the plant ready for
operation by the first part of the
year.

Two cases of dread infantile pa
ralysis have ben discovered in the
city of Reno. according to the Nevada
State Journal, and the board of
health of that city has issued warning
and instructions to parents.
1t is deeply regretted that the
dread disease has broken out in this
state and it would doubtless be well
to take precautionary measures In
this district as we'll as every other
section of the state.
DR. Mullin. state baeterologist, is
now in Rochester making an investi-
cation of the conditions there. as the
two young girls who are now quar-
antined In Reno went from Rochester
to Reno where they were attending
school when stricken. DR.. Mullin
will make a thorough investigation to
ascertain whether or not there are
any more suspected cases.
Immediately following the discov-
cry of the two cases an emergency
meeting of the Reno board of health
was called by Health officer Sam
ueis and Drs. II. Bergstein and M. A.
Robinson were also in attendance.
The members of the board we're
unanimous in the opinion that dras-
tie measures should be resorted to in
order to prevent the spread of the
disease. Dr.. Bergstein submitted the
following resolution. which was
adopted:
Whereas: Anterior poliomelitis
(otherwise known as infantile pa
ralysis) has made its appearance In
this city; therefore be It resolved by
the city board of health that notice
be published In the city newspapers
both morning and evening. advising
the people to institute thorough

OF McGILL
GIVE CARD PARTY

The card party given by McGill Re
bekah lodge No. 80, In X. of P. hall
at McGill on Thursday night, was one
OF the most enjoyable and successful
affairs in the history of that popular
organization.
Much credit Is due the committee
In charge for the businesslike meth
cd by which they handled every mat
ter of detail and which added so
much to the evenings entertainment.
Mrs. Max Herman was chairman and
the associate members of the COM
mittee were Mrs. Chas. Anderson,
Mrs. 8. o. Lines and Mrs. John Met
eel.
As the unusually large crowd COM
menced to gather into the hall. 1t was
soon discovered that additional tables
and chairs would be necessary to ac-
the players. These were
quickly provided and every inch Of
available space In the hall was press
ed into service.
At the conclusion OF the games the
prizes were awarded to the success
full contestants as follows: Ladies'
first prize. Mrs. c. J. Moseley; second
Mrs. r. J. Sisk; consolation. Mrs. j.
NJ. Collins. 0entlemen's hrst prize
r. J. Sisk: second. Charles Grimes
Dewey Dunlap.
An elaborate supper was served
and the merry gathering resolved It.
self into an informal dancing party
which was enjoyed until the small
hours OF the morning. About Ave
automobiles we're required to carry
the Ely visitors to the smelter city
and all report having had q very en-.
joyable time.

try. There is nothing to bear out
the declaration OF some democrats
that for keeping the nation at peace
the president has won the support OF
all the middle western states, all the
rural communities and all the women
of the equal suffrage states.
On the other hand. there 10 every
indication that the battle for the
presidency which is just beginning to
reach its interesting stages, will be
one worth watching.
Surveyed In a broad way, 1t would
appear now that the great wage earn
ing class is strongly for President
Wilson. while the business men Of
the cities and nearly all communities
are inclined to swing In with the re-
publicans.
Whether this division Of the cleo
torate 10 ~ deep a. the early straw
votes indicate 10 matter which will
be inquired into by the Hcrald's cor
respondents and probably determined
by the straw votes which will be
taken In al the debAtable states up
to the closing days Of the campaign.
Some Of the things which stand out
conspicuously In the analysis Of the
test ballots are
The progressives beyond question
are drifting back to the republican
party.
A great many republicans in 1912
voted for President Wilson. presum-
ably with the idea of insuring the de-
feat OF Theodore Roosevelt.
Only q small proportion of those
who voted for Mr.. Roosevelt four
years ago set themselves down now
as progressives.
German voters are friendly to
Hughes and Fairbanks. but are not
overwhelmingly for the republican
ticket.
Railroad employees. 80 far as can
be ascertained from the vote taken
among them, are very strongly fol
the president.
A great many voters refuse to tel
for whom they voted in 1912.
Artisans and mechanics In sections
where q protective tariff would be
helpful favor Hughes.
Women in California and in other
equal suffrage states incline toward
Hughes, giving the impression that
the republican nominee has gained
among the women voters of the
twelve western states as much as Will
son has won by his peace policies
There is a far greater interest in
the election than the political cam
paign managers believe.
The two big issues in determining
the election. to all appearances, will
be the tariff and the attitude of the
two nominees on the Adamson bill, as
it affected the recent railway contro-
versy.

 They will also propose that it be used as in the days of old to toll for public events, the Leath of prominent citizens, and on occasions of celebra- tions, the coming of the New Year. Christmas, Easter morning, emorial Day, Fourth of July and other public holidays.
 The Daughters of Veterans have also been interested in the matter and will ask with the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution for the return of the bell. Besides the descendants of the , men of Bridgeport and vicinity who took part in he Revolutionary war, the Mary Silliman chaEser embraces in it's membership descendants of George Washington, Light Horse Har- ry Lee, Gen. Robert E. Lee and Noah Webster, the compiler of the dicton. ary.
 From other cities in the state the members of this chapter have often told that there is no patriotic spirit here and that the citizens are not in- terested in anything but getting money. AS evidence of this, the fail- ure to mark places of historic inter- est, the ruthless removal or remodel ing of them without attention to what they represent and last and worst of all, the failure of the city to provide for the upkeep on the building at Main and Gilbert streets given by P. T. Barnum to house the collections of the Scientific and Historical societies is pointed out.
 Priceless relics placed there for safe keeping are now stored in the cellar of the building and what was intended for an exhibition room is now the offices of Bridgeport Hydrau- lie Company. The rooms of P. T: Barnum intended for exhibition halls and lecture rooms were for years used as the meeting place of the Redmen.
 The members of all patriotic so- cieties in this city feel keenly the re- flection from kindred organizations in other cities ahd the intimation that being engrossed in money grubbing they devote no time to commemora- ton of the deeds of the old patriots or the preservation of customs and institutions connected with the early history of the city.

TRUCE DECLARED BETWEEN PUPILS
 IN RIVAL CAMPS
High School and Trade School Boys Won't be Able
 to Scrap Any More.

A truce has been declared in the | warfare between the High school boys and the youngsters who attend the Trade school, located across the street l from the newer building, and the
 monday battles which did so much to ! increase the joy of living are now only
 bloody memories. The Trade school boys have been instructed by their
 principal to stay behind an iron rail- ing which runs from the west wall of
 the school to the fence. By keep ing inside this boundary the boys are
 far enough away from the High school
 pupils to make the chance of re- stunning hostilities very slim.
 When the Trade school took posses
 sion of the old High school building
 in Congress street the rivalry between
 pupils of the two institutions was not foreseen. But it happens that the noon recess in both schools comes at the same time. The High school pu- pills were permitted to go as far as the Congress street sidewalk, but were under the supervision of a faculty
 member.
 When the term opened the Trade
 school boys played on the terrace on the Congress street side. Witticisms were hurled back and forth between
 the two camps and finally challenges to engage in combat. One day High school pupil, who had left bicycle in the Trade school shed, had a dispute with some of the Trade boys. Blows
 were exchanged but teachers of both institutions stopped the trouble before anything serious resulted. After sev- eral fights of this kind it was deter mined to have a neutral zone. And now nothing is heard but the munch- ing of apples and the sound of a foot ball being kicked around

foreman in the Peck & Lines stables. When the horse had left that estab- lishment he sought work elsewhere and on June IS was employed by the Bridgeport Art Glass Co. On that date he cut his finger slightly with a piece of glass. As result of his ill., ness compensation was sought and granted by the commissioner. Upon his apparent recovery he began work for Isaac Banks. the liveryman. but soon terminated that connection and went to the Singer Sewing Machine plant.
 Symptoms of insanity had develop ed and later it was necessary to com init him to the Norwich Asylum for the Insane, where he remains at the present time.
 An application was made to the commissioner for total incapacity which is proven will force the insur- ance company to pay half his weekly salary for a period not exceeding 510 weeks.
 The case is the first known in Con- necticut where the decision rests en- tirely upon the result of alienists' de- termination.
