SALARY OF SWEDISH
 IS NOT ATTRACTIVE
Their Pay Is Not Sufficient for Sup
 port and Uniforms

Stockholm, July 2S.-To one who de- sires to make a financial success of his life, the career of officer in the Swedish army offers little inducement. The discussion attending a movement to increase the pay of officers has bean pointed by the following instance, which is declared to be average and typical.
 The officer in question served three years as second lieutenant without pay and five years more in the same grade at $144 a year He was then for five years first lieutenant at $2S0 year, then for seven years regimen tai adjutant at $367 yearly and five years regimental quartermaster at $367 yearly, and five years regimental Guartermaster at S56S yearly
 At the age of 46, after 25 years ser vice, he became captain and received $906 a year for 1 1-2 years. For the next four years he received as major the yearly pay of $1,405 and then be- came lieutenant colonel at $1,750. His retirement pension was $960 a year.
 The officers cannot, of course, sup port themselves and buy their uni forms on their pay. They must either have independent incomes, make rich marriage or-else devote their lit tie spare time to profit bringing out side work.

NO OFFICIAL. LIST
RECEIVED YET
Nothing Definite is Yet Known in Re
 gard to Draft.

No official list was received here on Monday by the members of the exemp- tion board, so the sending out of mo- tices for men to appear on the first call was necessarially postponed. There was hope Monday that the list may be received today, but nothing definite was known on this point.
 In the meantime young men here continue to consider from every angle their chances of being called for ser vice in the first draft. Scores of men have studied the list and faithfully counted through hundreds and hun dreds of numbers to determine in just what group they will be called up for examina tion. Many inquiries also have come from young men relative to exemption grounds.
 The most frequent question heard fs-"Are married men exempt?'
 As a rule, this may be answered in the affirmative, but this does not apply to all cases. Some married men are liable to be taken for service It is generally believed. however, that a man whose wife is entirely dependent upon him for support, the same con dition applying to his children, will be exempted, but the board is giving no decisions and will pass upon each claim of married men upon it's merits and in accordance with the rules that have been laid down by the war de- partment.

PUTNAM
Lightning Damaged St. Mary's Church Exemption Board Has Not Yet Received an Official List.

The spire of St. Mary's church, on Providence street, was damaged by lightning in the severe electrical storm of Monday afternoon. One of the first shortly after o'clock, struck the spire, at it's tip, near the golden cross and ripped slats off the front side of the spire down to a point near where the fire alarm telegraph wires run into the church bell, which is used as one of the bells in the city to warn of fires. Alphonse Boucier. first assistant chief of the fire department, was aD eyewitness of the happening, he stand ing in Providence street at the time, and he immediately ran to the church and inquired of the decorators work ing on the interior if any were injur- ed. They replied in the negative. Fearing fire, MT. Boucier ran into the choir loft and thence made his way up into the belfry- He found no fire and also quickly ascertained that the frame work of the spire had not been damaged. MT. Boucier was after
 wards quoted as giving his opinion that the electricity that damaged the spire ran off on the fire alarm tele-
 graph wire, which fell to the ground. Slate ripped from the side of the
 spire by the lightning flash rained
 down about the chrch front, but no
 one was injured. Rev. Charles F.
 Bedard, pastor who minute before
 the damaging lightning flash, stood at
 the sidewalk near the rectory talking
 to Letter Carrier Henry N. Benoit, said
 later in the afternoon that he was un- able at that time to estimate the dam age.
 A superficial examination Monday afternoon that the expense of repairing the spire will be considerable, for re- pairing of it. up to height of approx imately 165 feet feet, will represent difficulties not encountered in working at lower levels.
 All about this city the storm was very severe. The lightning was very brilliant and the thunder exceedingly heavy. For a time the rain fell in torrents. The storm came out of the east, a point from which few thunder storms develop in this section of the country.
 During the height of the storm here the sun was shining brightly in East ford, only a few miles away.

In Kings behalf, a demurrer to the charge was filed by his attorney, R M. Douglass, Norwich, but this was overruled by the court. Attorney Douglass made a state ment to the court relative to reduc- ing Kings bond, which had previ- ously been fixed at s1,500, while thai of Talnose was s1,000. MT. Douglass contended that, so far as any infor- nation developed in court was con- eerned, no evidence having been in- troduced, the defendants were on ar equal footing; therefore Kings bai should not be larger than Talnose's Attorney Charles l..

FIRST CIRCUS HERE
 OF THE SEASON
R. T. Richards. Motor Travelling
 Show, Made Big Hit.

Emulating, in a degree, the ele- plants who marched in single file, clutching each others tail, hundreds of Danielson people old and young ness nor youth. took each other by the hand and paraded to the show lot here Monday afternoon and even ing to see R. T. Richards Supreme Show of the World-the first circus that has managed to locate Daniel son this season
 This was neither a modern railroad or the oid-tinne wagon show, but tor truck show that is travelling over good state roads to towns where a circus is always welcome.
 Right at tho start this show made aboEt t Is spick and span. This was first indicated to the public by a view Of ti:e parade and more than sub stantiatod hy clean and thorough ly enjoyable exhibition. The show wili be mora than welcome here any time.
 The show carries a good, though not extensive lnenaEertc. ana feature at fractions that well merit attention. This is particularly true of some Of the riding acts and of tho trained animal acts a. wei. as of the offerings of the aerialise- with the show.
 The show uses about half a hundred motor trucks in getting from town to town and there arc about SO horses to haul wagons ard cages. In a sense this organization is experimenting with the problem of moving a show by motor. ana the success achieved so far this season seems to indicate that before many years this method Of getting about the country will have been popularize6 by tented attrac- tions.

 sAppreciative of their pastors feel ines under the circumstances work CTS in his parish went quietly about and quickly raised the sum mentioned and presented it to Father Mathieu that he might apply it toward the purchase of another car.
