Evidently the brief reference The
Meddler made last week to the propo-
sition for changing the name OF Flat
street to Commercial street set folks in
other parts of the town to thinking, for
he now learns there is a move on foot
to give Canal street new name. Just
how far the village will be disposed to
go in the matter of changing street
names is question that very likely
will come up at the annual village
meeting in May

not be complete until it is known that
improved mail service is to come about

There was also the mail service ON the
evening train south by which letters to
Boston and New York could be sure of
delivery early the next morning. Now
that these two trains are to appear on

that the railway mail service division of
the postoffice department will see that
they are equipped with mail cars. And

rection by local people they should at

The tragedy took place in fashion
able family hotel on Corona street. 1t

butler at the hotel, carrying IL tray
with Mrs. Powells and Jacqueline's
breakfast, knocked on the door of
their room. He heard moan, but no

Mrs. Powell, with blood streaming
down her face from scalp wound,
then appeared at the door. Scobey

On the back of a photograph of Mrs.

the following note:
"All my life my love and my prayers
have been thrown back to me. Maybe
with my death my curses will be
heard. In the name of the so-called
Mrs. Alley 1 hereby curse Christian
Science. May every one of them in
the universe be stricken with some
loathsome disease and all their
churches rock and totter from the
foundations, and cursed be the hand
that shall destroy this picture and the
paper that will not publish her fake
Christian Science face and this curse.
"EMILY L. POWELL"
In a second note, written on blue
note paper, Mrs. Powell said:

known who I am and what has al
ways been wrong with my life The
more 1 loved people the more al
ways hurt them. Perhaps had been

JacQueline and l are going. If some
one would only have told me some
thing! Maybe my death or some
atonement / could have made would
have saved them, but 1 did not know.
My head and eyes have ached so I
could not think well. I hope my fam

German Police Dogs
Being Brought Over

Paris, Aug. 23. America will
be overrun with German police dogs
if the dog-catchers at the ports in
the United States where the return
ing troops land do not put an en-
barge on the German product.
All the soldiers and marines from
the Rhine districts bring police
dogs to Paris. Officers, doughboys
and girl workers with the army
lead them through the Paris streets.
The American troop trains passing
through Belgium and Luxembourg
on their way to French ports all
carry great assortment of the
German CANNES.
Red Cross workers, Young Mems
Christian Association workers and
members of the Young Women's
Christian Association have been
won over by the German police dogs
and are taking them back to
America. Most of the CANNES have
pedigrees showing that their grand
father was a wolf. They are all
grey, about the size of a shepherd
dog with the pointed nose and
sharp erect ears of a wolf.
