 number in this vicinity who say they have grip are endeavoring, as they claim, to break it up. They are working hard each day using a large quantity of their reliable remedy to break up grip; but fro mall appear ances they are the same as when they first began taking the cure.

Persuaded to Walk Out by Labor
 Asitators--Nisht School EnroIIment
 151-Firsmsu Name Ball committee.
 Following on the heels of notice of wage advances in the cotton, worsted and Wooisn mils or the city and yi- cinity, came strike Friday morning of employees of the Eclipse Manufactur- ing company, makers of coats and suits and other ladies garments. 1t is un- derstood that the striking operatives have no grievance, but left their work in response to appeals from , labor S1A agi1 tators who came here from Boston ana harangued the strikers at a meeting held in a boarding place Thursday night There were stories about town during Friday that the agitators who caused the trouble are I. w. w. repre- sentatives. but this could not be ceri- fled.
 The shop is non- union a fact that did not seem to trouble the operatives very much so long as they were left to their own devices. until the men came here from Boston and started the l1r- ion bee buzzing. It.is said by others. who do not believe that the agitators are I. w. ". men, that they represent Boston garment workers unions.
 The Eclipse company is one of Put nam's newest industries and has been located in the city less than a year. the concern having purchased the Johnson shoe shop property, equipped 1t for their needs and firmly establish ed themselves here. The concern for merly had factories in Boston and Philadelphia. It is understood that a desire to avoid labor troubles such as the concern had previously experienced and had been handicapped by induced them to accept the Chamber of Com merce invitation to locate in this city.
 Some of the strikers were prompt to | nDrr I0NwA Ing Friday, to take jobs, it is said, that were offered to them by the agitators 1 If they would quit here. There is plenty of work now in the big towns for garment workers, and the men who | left here expect to get places at higher wages than they have been receiving here.
 A majority of those who have been employed in the plant were brought | here by the concern. A few Putnam people have been. employed at the fac l tory. The Putnam employees remain al their work, but most of the other. have stopped work. One of the state.
 ments made in connection with tht strike Is that insinuations were mad, l by those who fomented the troubl, might expect if they declined to givI | up work.
 Representatives of the company seen quite concerned over the strike an( asked the police for protection, stating
 tnat previously, while they had O fac tory in Boston, shafttng had been GU and cloth mutiiated during the night An effort will be made to start tn
 shop with a full force of help, or a
 near that as possible, next Monda.
 morning, the strikers places to b. | filled by men who will be brought her by the company.
 The Eclipse industry has been | welcome one to Putnam. The comin
 of the company has already resulte | in the building of a number of dwell ings to accommodate employees, an the prospective growth of the concer, promised more such activity.
 It is believed that the strike will b
 no more than incidental and that tn

NIGHT SCHOOL REGISTRATION.
Total of t51 Pupils EnroIIed-Good
 Average Attendance.

The registration at the night school has reached 151. There is an average nightly attendance of 100 to l20. The fact that the mills in this city are. in come eases running overtime until well into the night operates against having a full attendance at every ses- sion of the school as quite a few who are registered have to work two nights each week.
 Supt H. W. Files reports that chief attention Is being given to teaching reading. writing. and arithmetic. There is. of course, many other features of night school work. One class of about 20 members Is taking up elementary high school work, and members of the class are doing splendidly with their studies.
 Every indication is that the night school will be a complete success and 1t may become a permanent part of the educational system of the town.

ELKs, BIO TIME.
Everything Done for Pleasure of Guests
 on Social Evening.

Why Is an ETk? Not a puzziing question to the guests that were priv Ileged ot attend the Danieison night session of Putnam lodge. The answer is that an Elk (and Elkdom) Is a necessity-just the same as good health. good cheer, good fellowship and all the cardinal virtues that one likes to see included in the makeup of those who make the world a better world and tighten its woes and cares.
 This is not news to the E1ks, but 1t was firmly impressed upon all of the guests at this weeks social night at tho lodge. The entertainment was splendid in every respect. the contri- button of group of artists-the Flor entine Quartette of Boston, musicians whose every number was applauded with a degree of enthusiasm rarely accorded. The Florentines gave an hours concert in the billiard room prior to the serving if a fine turkey dinner in the banquet hall, and played while the nearly 150 present dined.
 When 1t was all over everybody conceded the event to have been a royal one and the Danielson brothers who arranged the affair were applaud ed. The true spirit of Elkdom was strikingly manifest and the impression borne in by Putnam lodge, and that to be an Elk, as one member put 1t, Is dedication.
