Fort ATKINSON.

Work, fight or go to Jail, are the or
ders which Chief of Police Krebs will
issue to all those .sfioaters0 who arrive
in this city to. spend their time in idle
ness. In a communication received
from the state council of defense this
week, Chief Krebs was informed that
there was great shortage of labor in
Wisconsin and that every effort should
be made to see that those idle from
choice are forced into employment.
'tGive the loafer a chance to enlist
are the orders of the defense council.
''Then give him chance to work. Ii
he will not do so, send him to jail, and
let the sheriff keep him busy there.
We must not tolerate idlers.'
William Walters, for many years a
resident of Fort Atkinson, in fit of
dependency committed suicide by
drowning sometime Friday morning.
Mr.. Walters was employed in the wood
working shop of the Creamery Package
Mfg. Co. He was steady, consclen-
tious worker, and each morning he
might have been seen going to his daily
task with his dinner basket On Thurs
day, however, he was missing from the
shop and while his fellow workers COM
mented upon the fact, nothing serious
was suspected. Or Friday morning
about Z he was seen by John Spaeth
near Coleman Griffin's shop near the
railroad tracks. He, appeared to be in
deep thought, head bent and carrying
his basket. As the time passed his
family began to feel deeply worried,
and the fear was expressed that he
might have taken his own life. And
so the facts seem to prove.

Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather of the sum-
mer months some member of almost
every family is likely to be troubled
with an unnatural looseness of the
bowels, and it is of the greatest i'm
portance that this be treated promptly.
which can only be done when the med
cine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott,
Scottsville, N. Y, says: 81 first used
Chamberlain Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy as much as five years ago. At
that time | had a severe attack of sum-
mer complaint and was suffering severe
pain. One dose relieved me. Other
members of my family have since used
it with like results.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Athletic Interests-Address on Nurs-
 ing-Debate.

Last Friday afternoon, Putnam High defeated Putnam Trade in the first of a three game series. 18-16. The game was fast and both teams played clean basketball. During the first half the trade school held the High school to two baskets while their own forwards scored eleven points. By the score of Il to 4. one can judge that the game seemed one sided. but the second half changed the spectators opinion. Put nam High came back with a strong fighting spirit and with every man playing his very best. Putnam High snatched a victory from the hands of the Trade School by the score of 1s- 16.
 Wednesday morning at the Putnam High school Miss Albough. who repre- sents the Connecticut State Society Of Nursing, gave very interesting talk to the girls on the many opportuni- ties open for those who wish to take up the profession of nursing. She told its history and what disadvantages had to be met with in the early days. She. suggested that one train in a small hospital in her own state and then if desired. take a post graduate course in a large hospital Subjects were mentioned which would be of especial help to a nurse. She empha- sized particularly the openings for nurses in the movements for public health instruction.
 The debate last week was between Ruth Child and Byron Wilcox on the one side against Hazel Perry and Per- cy Richardson on the other. The ques- ton was. Resolved: that assuming that league of powers to enforce peace comes into existence after the present war. the United States should so depart from it's traditional policies as to participate in 1t.
 This is the subject of the Putnam Killingly debate; the debaters will form the Putnam team.

mental processes on the question at issue when he appeared before Judge Woodward in the town court Wednes- day morning and heard his honor ask :: Your name is Eli DeForge. isn't it ?''
 Eli admitted that it was; also that he was the same man who was before the same tribunal Tuesday morning of this week. Eli made a great showing man, yes. indeed he was; and he had wife-and children-to support; and he was ashamed of himself for drink ing-and he would go to his family suffer, yes. he certainly would if only given a chance to show that it was really a mistake that he found him self in such disgrace. And he had never been. arrested before-and he felt the degradation so. He never ex- pected to be so depressed. And the good judge listened to Elfs pitiful plea and gave him the chance he asked for-and Eli went his way in peace.
 Tuesday night found him head per former in a breach of the peace affair at Dayville-and he was drunk again.
 Judge Woodward did most of the talking in court Wednesday morning and Eli the listening. Under pres court, Eli admitted that he lied to the court Tuesday when he said he never had been arrested. The judge had been setting some information
 
 CT things that the prisoner was arrest cd from here in September last and that he has been arrested and sent to jail from the his home town in Plain field.
 Today Eli is at Brooklyn jail. doing 30 days time for intoxcation and 18o days more for breach of the peace. Judge Woodward gave him to under stand that telling lies in court is not Q real nourishing indoor sport.

That the person who murdered Charles A.

The let ter which the state police received was as follows:
 '4The police are wrong in thinking that they will find the woman who rid the world of c. Taft in the underworld. I am a respectable wife and mother and that f7end got me to a place for the hire of a well known physician and drugged me and ruined me and then left me to get home the best l could''
