ALLEGED SLAYER FROM TERRYvILLE
 IS CAUGHT HERE
Local Resident Notifies State Police of LeWandoWski's s
 Presence.

Terryville, Feb. 5-John I.ewan- dowski. known as "Zbysko," to the pool-roonne and saloon habitues in this town, and wanted for the alleged mur- der of George Maslanka, who died last Sunday morning in St. Francis hos pftal, Hartford from the effects of a blow or blows on his head, said to have been delivered on Wednesday night, Jan. 26, by Lewand owski, was arrested today in Bridgeport, by Cap tain Robert T. Hurley of the state police, who brought him here to await trial.
 Superintendent Thomas F. Egan of the state, police, was preparing a de scriptive circular this noon to be sent out tospolice authorities, notifying tn em of the crime and giving a, thor ough description of the man wanted in connection with it, when he receiv- ed word from Captain Hurley that Le- wandowsk was under arrest in Bridgeport. In the circular, the all legged murderer is described as a Rus sian-Polish man, aged about 22 years, weighing 15O pounds and has smooth face and an upturned nose.
 Captain Hurley was tipped off by Policeman George F. Buckley of the local police, who was previously tip ped off by a Bridgeport man, as to the whereabouts Of Lewandowski. Several people were on the lookout for the fellow and many supposed clues were followed up, only to prove frLitless. The person who gave the tip to Po- Hceman Buckley and whose name the police refuse to divulge, overheard conversation which led him to be- heve that the alleged murderer might be&in Bridgeport. He told Police man Buckley, who called up Captain Hurley of the state police, telling the latter of the latest clue. - Arrange ments were made for both to go to Bridgeport early this morning. Buck ley could not go, SO Hurley went alone. From photograph, from which the above cut was made, he picked out Lewand owski from among thousands of others who were passing in the street, as he was about to en- ter piano factory, where he had se- cured work.
 Coroner S. A. Herman ordered "a private hearing at 5 o'clock this af- ternoon. He heard Il witnesses and after the hearing said that he had or dered Lewandowskfs incarceration in the county jail in Litchfe1d, where he will be taken tomorrow morning. He was committed to jail here tenn poraFi1y on a, ,coroner's warrant, pend ing the fcoroner's finding. The states attorney will then apply Nto the su- periorz court for a bench warrant.
 It is said that Lewandowski prac- ticalIy admitted that he struck Mas 1anka on the night in question, but could not be determined by his con- versation. It is alleged that he had said earlier in the evening on the night Maslanka was struck, that he would rtgeti him. meaning Mas1an- ka-

STILL COUGHING AND NO RELIEF?

Why don't you try some other remedy? Frequent coughing increases the irri- tation of the bronchial tubes and often becomes chronic. Try Cyrus Cough Specific, it has relieved others and will help your cough. It is not sickening sweet and does not constipate. Itis worth your trial.

MARGARET F. SOMERSET.

In the front part of KipIing's volume of Stalky & Co., there are some verses to thSs head masters of those twelve bleak houses by the shore,,' and they are the clear, concise opinions of schoolboys- respecting those "set in of fce'' over them. TheSe lines are with out exception the greatest testimonial 1 it is expressed by those who knew and | appreciated teachers of high excel lence and lasting influence. It was in this class that Margaret Somerset belonged. She taught it all she who put aside, as KipIing said, all the joys of her Today and bought with her toll of Today, the Tomorrow for her scholars. She taught that com mon sense, Truth and Gods Own Common Sense weres more than l knowledge. She was an inspiration to good work Ask any boy what kind of teacher is the best and he will tell you it is the one who makes him want 1 to work.
 Personality was the keynote of Miss Somerset's success. She was so full of enthusiasm and joy, so abounding in the strength of life that she radi- came in contact with her. As one High school lad has expressed himself since her death, "A fellow couldn't t talk with Miss Somerset five minutes
  another said, Miss Somerset always gave her best. No matter if anybody did not work or if he had not done we'll, she gave him just as much. She did for him until he got ashamed and went to work because he wanted to please her.
 After this feeling of personal loss and grief has passed a little, there will come gratitude. Gratitude that Miss Somerset helped them to attain their present positions of service in the work of the world. So, like Kip ling's famous men
 ''ner work continueth, And her work continueth, Broad and deep contipueth, Great beyond her knowing.s' splendid High school building will seem a little empty. Perhaps tears will fill their eyes as, they still hear her voice when the stately lines of Chaucer or Shakespeare are scanned. Perhaps they will see her eyes smile at them from the pages of a French book If they have heard her read French poetry they will never forget the rich, full tones of her voice: Les sauglots longs l Des vio1ons
 
 Blessent mon occur D. une Iangeur Monotone, Tout suffocant Et blenne, Quand Some Pheure, Je me souviens DeS jours anciens Et je pIeure." No braver soul ever lived and la
 bored, covering her own pain, and un- seldsh1y spending her strength for others. Those who knew her we'll who came under her uplifting inf1u- | tence will never forget, and mingled with the sorrow for their loss is a. feeling of thankfu1ness for her escape from all suffering They remember that she went away with a smile and a cheery adieu-to release from all pain. God grant her a perfect rest forever, and forever.
