WATERBURY C H AR TIE R
 NOT DONE
Gets Another Toss About at Hartford From the COnl- pOsers of Document - Several City Bond Bills Acted On
(By Democrat Staff Rcportcr)


 Hartford, Conn, April 14.--In an effort to divert all plans to change it's suggested charter the Waterbury charter commission appeared before the legislative committee on cities and boroughs to-day and vigorously opposed the amendment proposed by ex-Mayor William E. Thoms at the hearing last Tuesday. The amend ment provided that in the event that the city manager form of govern ment was adopted by Waterbury a petition by 20 per cent of the elec- tors of the city for a change in gov- crnment would compel the common council to set date for a referen- dunn.
 To-day the following members of the charter commission were pres- ent to argue against this amend ment: x-Mayor Francis T. Reeves Harry B. Dow, Attorney PatrfcH Healey, Edwin c. Northrop and Leavenworth P. Sperry. Also present at the hearing were Senator Joseph H. Lawlor and Congressman E. w Goss.
 The argument of the charter com mission was that if the new form of government is adopted 1t should at least be unmolested for period of two years. If the amendment of ex- Mayor Thoms was adopted 1t would mean that the people could petition before the legislature convenes again in 1893.

TWO SMALL BOYS SAVE
TEACHERS LIFE

According to the Springfield Ad-
nce-Press, Miss Katherine Fecker
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Feck-
er, teacher in the Kaehler school east
of that city, probably owes her life
to the quick action Of two of her
pupils, Donald Kaehler,, II years, and
Vincent Kaehler, 8 years, when her
dress caught fire as she started the
fire in the school stove one recent
morning.
A spark ignited the dress and Miss
Fecker, sensing the danger, attempt
ed to remove the dress, which would
have been hazardous thing to do I'M
der the circumstances as she would
have had to raise it over her head
and might have suffered fatal burns
before she could have removed the
garment.
The two boys, exercising rare pre-
sence of mind for children of their
age, pushed their teacher out of doors
and rolled her on the ground, patting
the burning clothing with their leath-
er mittens and thus extinguishing the
fire. Miss Fecker's burns about the
lower limbs are not serious but pre-
vented her from working for time.

unequalled method in MARSHALL

Hotel and in NEW ULM on Wednes-
day, March 25 at the Dakota Hotel
from 10 A. M. to P. M.
Mr.. C. F. Redlich says:
The perfect Rentention Shields"
hold the rupture perfectly, no matter
what position the body assumes or
how heavy a weight you lift. They
give instant relief and contract the
opening in remarkably short time.
The secret of their success is in
their simplicity. An expertly adjust
ed device seals the opening without
discomfort or detention from work.
It is practically everlasting, sanitary,
comfortable and actually holds rup-
lures which heretofore were consid-
cred uncomfortable.
Stomach troubles, backache and
constipation, nearly always conse-
quence of rupture, promptly disap-
pear.
Bring your children. According to
statistics $3.50 recover by our method

DELAYED AUTO TAX
PENALTY REDUCED

The Minnesota Legislature last
week passed bill reducing the penal
ty for delayed registration of motor
vehicles. The penalty is now Is cents
for the first four days and $1.OO per
month thereafter, with a maximum of
$500.
No change was made either in the
last day or paying the tax, February
Is, nor the last day when cars may
be operated with 1880 plates, which
is March 81. Operating a car with
1880 plates after March 81 is mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment, and this penalty was not
reduced or removed.
The cut in the penalty for late re-
gistration was made for the benefit
of persons who are out of employ
ment CIR short of funds, but High
way bulletin suggests that persons
who want to operate their cars should
be sure to have their 1881 plates on
their cars before April 1. Those who
drive, it is felt, can we'll afford to
pay the tax promptly, since this fee
is small part of the cost Of running
car, and those who ride should help
maintain Minnesota's roads.
The fact that the car is not
operated does not relieve the owner
of paying the tax eventually. In
Minnesota the license tax is in lieu
of the personal property tax, and
must be paid on all cars in the state.
The penalty for late registration, as
now fixed, however, is very light, and
persons who are temporarily short of
funds may license their cars later
without a prohibitive penalty. But
the law against operating cars with
out-of-date plates, the bulletin says,
will be strictly enfroced.
