If this figures is reached $25, 1000 will be realized from Red Cross Saels for the relief work in the state.
 The local agents throughout the state receive ninety per cent. of the gross receipts of their sales, the remaining ten per cent. being paid to the State Tuberculosis Commission, who in turn remit to the National Red Cross.
 The money retained by the local associations is expended by them, in their own locality, for tuberculosis releif work and for the prevention of the disease. These societies are ap- pointed as agents for and by the State Tuberculosis Commission, and CO., operate with the commission in en- deavoring to wipe out the disease.

Old Soldiers Murderer Suspect.

Another clue thought by the state police of Massachusetts to tend to in criminate certain man they are seek ing for the murder of Lafayette Bat telle, the Grand Army veteran who was killed in Monterey in December has been introduced before the grand jury in Pittsfeld, Mass. The Battelle murder case in the one which brought several Massachusetts detectives to that city about two weeks ago, and with the assistance of the Hartford police, they recovered a gold watch which had been Battelle's property. The man had been in Pittsfeld but had left, | they learned.
 The new clue lies ill the fact that c. c. McAuliffe, a meat dealer, has been found to have sold Battelle a quantity of meat on the Saturday before the murder, and it is alleged that the murderer, or at least the man sought for the murder, took the meat out of the Battelle house and had it cooked at the home of Oscar Shenkman in South Middlefeld. Efforts to find MT. Shenk- man and have him appear have failed, for the man could not be found.
 Among the witnesses examined be- fore the grand jury were the follow ing: Chief of Police W. J. Oschman, c. c. McAuliffe, a meat dealer; A.. Parshley Adams, a feed dealer; w. Floyd Chittenden, a jeweler; Archie Lamont. clerk at Humphreys grocery store; Frederick Turner, the boy saw the man now sought in connection with the crime, around the Battelle house the day the murder is supposed to have been committed; Medical Examiner Dr. J. B. Beebe, of Great Burlington !; State Detective Thomas E. Bligh, of Pittsfeld, and Detectives Daly, Sher- lock and Barrett of the state force Mrs. E. N. Sawtelle, of South Sandis- field, and Mrs. Rollin Booth, of Win sted. Deputy Sheriff Frank A. Minkler, of Great Burlington, went to the home of Oscar Shenkman Ill South Sandis- field, Tuesday morning but was un- able to summons him as witness, not being able to locate him.
 It was learned that the man sought by the police in connection with the killing was in Winsted, December IS, and was known in that section as Michael Ryan. He had been em. ployed at various times at wood work ing jobs in Colebrook by Darlington A. Phelps and in New Boston, Mass, by Edward Sears. Ryan is said to be about 23, unmarried, and among other places he visited in Winsted was the home of Mrs. Rollin Booth, No. 787, Main Street. Ryan formerly boarded at the Booth home the man declared when he called at the Booth home that he wished to return $2 he owed MT. Booth. Booth declared that the amount was really 45 cents. It is further said that Booth spent some time at the home of E. N. Sawtelle in South Sandisfeld. MT. Sawtelle drives the stage bewteen Winsted and South Sandisield, and also at the Shenkman home.

B. M. A. MEETING TONIGHT
Program Of Unusual Interest for Presi-
 dent Parsons First Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the Canaan Business Mems Association to be held this evening in Odd Fellows Hall. promises to be an unusual one, in interest, proceedings, significance and attendance. President Joseph l.. Parsons has worked strenu0usly and earnestly on his plans for rrjuvenating the Association and the meeting this evening will be tine first apparent result of his efforts.
 The program will take the from, to a considerable extent. of a sort of symposium of the views of a number of representative citizens, in short ,eeches. on the conditions, needs and p ospects of the town. The subject of the towns welfare will be considered und r three heads-Canaan's Needs for the Coming Year, the Development of the Present Resources of the Town, and How Shall we Add to the Present Resources and Attractions of our Town?
 Each of these subjects will be spoken on by three groups of speakers, who will offer suggestions which should prove of real practical value and mean much for the advancement of the com muu4ty's general interests. Most of the speakers are men who have never taken aD active part in the discussion of matters brought up before the Asso citation, and have consented in response to President Parsons urgert request. to assist i'll the effort to revive interest in the work which the Association should undertake to promote.
 After all these suggestions and views have been presented, and the catalogue of Canaan's needs and duties has been set forth, Rev E. c. Gillette will -ad. dress the meeting briefly on "Well. What Are You Going to Do About it ?" will be plainly presented, and all pres ent will be shown that the advisable course is to get together. pull together and make a determined effort to boost the town along the road of progress.
 It is the earnest desire of President Parsons that all members and citizens generally, whether members or not, be present at tonight's meeting-which is the first meeting under the new board of officers and make it an suspicious beginning of the Association year.
 The meeting will be called to order at o'clock, sharp, without waiting for those who have been in the habit of coming ill later, and there seems to be no good reason why full attendance should not be on hand at o'clock. The gavel will fall promptly at that hour, whether few or many be there.

Whole Town swears Of.

Out in sun baked Kansas-sun- baked in Summer, and now swept by hurri- canes from Texas-is small town called Byers. Despite the fact that Kansas has law prohibiting the sab of liquor, an occasional intoxicated person was seen in Byers. One day there was fight, and man was killed. The town held a mass meeting and swore off in body for year. It was resolved:
 Not to drink liquor of any kind,
 Not to smoke tobacco.
 Not to chew tobacco.
 A man who cannot drink his liquor and hold his liquor should swear of. He is a feeble person and lets himself get away from his own control.
 But what has tobacco to do with homicidey The smoker and chewer of the excellent h.giving weed is not one who kills-he gives first aid, he saves, he is kind hearted and harms no one. Instead of wearing off on the use of tobacco, the folk of Byers should compel male citizens over IS years to use tobacco. If every man and grown boy in Byers smoked and chewed there would be no disorder, no killing, no wrath.-New York Telegraph.
