cities and the towns throughout the land, the presidents call for the na- tion's militia to mobilize has stirred the hot blood of Young America and Captaa1, E. l.. Darbie has been busy the past two days turning down ap- plicants who would don the uniform of Uncle Sam and go where duty called them.
 To each and everyone Captain Dar- bic has been obliged to deny the privilege of enlistment. This is due to the fact that the Thirteenth com pany's payroll, covering the make up of the command as 1t is to leave for camp tomorrow morning, was cent fo headquarters last / Sunday, since which time no new names have been added to the roster.
 The Thirteenth company, as a coast artillery organization, has not been ordered to mobilize with the pos sfbflity of going to the Mexican bor- der, but those who would join the or sanitation figure that, if many troops are needed there, it will eventually have a chance to go. and. if 1t does go. they want to be numbered among it's members
 Fie company will leave here to- morrow with about 50 men and three officers, it's numbers having been re- duced recently by aspirations of en- Astments, but there is no doubt at all that it's membership could be run up to a hundred within a few days. The Company will be at Fort Wright for ten days, according to present plans.

 Priations With Little Opposition.


 Appropriations asked for street i'm provements were voted with very 1it- tie opposition recorded at Tuesday mornings special. city meeting. The amounts appropriated total $6,500, the vote in favor being 92 as against 6 opposed.
 Five thousand dollars of the amount is to extend and complete improve ments of Providence street, as under taken last year, this from School street to Woodstock avenue Five hundred dollars was appropriated for a sewer in South Main street for a distance of 130 feet; for 80 feet of sewer in Mechanic street, and for a sewer in Providence street, 100 feet from the intersection of Providence street and Lamont street.
 Another appropriation was of $950 for laying concrete curning, cobble gutter and other such improvements in sections of Wilkinson, Maynard and Providence streets.
 With the money now available the streets upon which it is to be used can be put in fine condition. The street expenditures of the city have been quite heavy during the past two or three years, but Putnam now has more good streets than most cities of this size in this section of New Eng land.

 Supposed Indian Grave Discovered.
 In the seclusion of the heavily wood ed country about Squaw Rocks. near the southeastern corner of KilIingly, wood choppers have discovered the grave of Chief America First and Safety Afterwards or some other grand sachem who lived in the days when the tomahawks were more pop ular than Fords and who since that time has been sleeping quietly amid surroundings that are historically closely connected with many of the prime events in the life and affairs of ] the Indians of this section.
 It is not definitely known what re- quirements of graveology had to be I met in determining that the prornin- ently moulded, stone -bordered rest ing place deep in the woods is that oi an Indian, but that conclusion has been arrived at, and the woodchoppers I have planned to open the grave te verify their conclusions One reli- ance of theirs is that a tomahawk or l cfl1nVe TVpdiaT1G v-o1ir7 H1<, . side the mouldering bones.

Mrs.l Pierce said or Tuesday afternoon that she had heard nothing about the finding of the grave. but related that arrow heads I and tomahawks have been found 1T that immediate section and that some of these relics are in the possession Of the Pierce family.

MISSING WHEEL FOUND
5artIey eiraco's Bicycle Had Myster- icus Trip With a Circus to Webster

When Captain Joseph Ryan heard from Bartley Giraca, Tuesday morn- ing, the story of the disappearance of Giraca's bicycle he quickly matched it with a bit of information that had come to him from Chief Maurice Clare of the Webster police and felt con- fdent in his own mind that Giraca's wheel was in the hands of the police in the neighboring Massachusetts town.
 Giraca did not miss his wheel until Tuesday morning, when he went to the shed where he usually keeps it. He did not find it there and decided that 1t had been added to the list of n1a- chimes Of the kind that have been stolen here from time to time
 Captain Ryan then told Giraca of the report of Putnam owned wheel, presumably in the hands of the Web ster police. This bicycle was turned over to the Webster officers by mem bers of the Cook & Wilson circus, which showed here last Friday. When the circus train was being unloaded

in the Webster yards Saturday morn ing this bicycle, with a punctured tire, was found on one of the cars. No one connected with the circus knew anything about the wheel ex- cepting that it wasn't part or the show before Putnam was played, so, as with honest men, the circus people gave it to the police.
 Giraca rode the wheel over to the circus grounds the day the show played here, but how it found it's way onto the circus train remains some thing of a mystery
