1t was really an OffshOOt from
Massachusetts, for in 1886 there
was dissatisfaction over the form
of government among the Puri-
tans in Cambridge, Watertown
and Dorchester, the three towns
. surrounding Boston. A large
part of these three towns, there
fore, decided to journey to the
Connecticut valley, as they had
heard that there was to be found
excellent farm land, and the
Dutch from New Netherlands
had been forced out the previous
year by the erection by the Eng
. lish of a fort at Saybrook. at the
mouth of the river. The Cam
bridge people, under the leader
ship of their pastor, Hooker,
founded Hartford, the Dorches-
ter people settled Windsor, and
those from WATERFOWL estab-
Iished Wethersf1eld. For a few
years they remained a part OF
; Massachusetts, but early in 1889
the people Of these three towns
stitution and agreed to govern
themselves. Meanwhile, in 1888,
a large company of cOlonists un-
.. der the leadership of John Dav-
export arrived from England and
settled the town of New Haven,
, later spreading to Milford and
Stamford. These two distinct
colonies were later united and
took the name of Connecticut
from its principal river. This Is

fifth state to join the Union
when it adopted the Constitution
on January 9, 1888. It is some
times called the Land of Steady
Habits, but is more popularity
known as the Nutmeg state from
the humorous accusation that
its peddlers were accustomed to
palm off wooden nutmegs to
their customers. The area of
Connecticut is 1895 square
miles, the third smallest of our
states. It's population, however,
entities it to seven electoral
votes for president.

RAIL RATES AND ONIONS.

Fifty thousand bays of fine Colorado
grown onions were dumped into the
Gunnison river last week in order to
save the sacks, the sacks being worth
more than the onions, reports the Trib-
une, Delta Colo. 1t is further stated
that the transportation charges were
more than the price offered for the on
ions. So the railroads lose 15-car ship
ment from one little station in the noun
tains, while in Denver the consumer pays

Sudden Death of
Mrs. Richard Baker

To the friends who loved her
dearly the sudden death late Sun
dav night of Mrs. Emily M. Baker,
wife of Richard C. Baker, treasur-
er of the Passumpsic Savings bank
came as a great shock. With Mr..
Baker she had been out on Satur-
day and Saturday evening she was
taken suddenly i'll with an attack
of asthma, a trouble that she had
been afflicted with for many years,
but was not considered dangerous
ly i'll and the end came most I'M
expectedly about 1000 Sunday
evening.

of 1896. After graduating she
studied stenogr9phy and was in the

marriage. Later she went to Cali

tinued asthmatic trouble. Return

the Searchlight and Woman's
clubs. OF an artistic tempela-
ment, she expressed herself in her
home and its administration. II
was a place where she showed her
real self and where she found her
greatest happiness, She was brave
in the face of SUFFERING and after
each severe attack would face life
again with renewed enthusiasm
and with a sweet optimism that en-
deared her to the circle of rela-
tives and friends who marveled at
her courage and loved her for 1T.

will be held at their home on
Spring street, Wednesday after
noon at o'clock. Her former

losing his dignity and reputation.
Both of the boys performed some
clever stunts on the two big horses
and their antics and sharp remarks
to the folks on the side lines were
very entertaining. Both boys were
far from being dainty maidens.
The sight of their massive should

gladiators. Preceding them were a
