DEHOCRATS HOPE FOR CONTEST Republican Leaders Expect Fight Will Be Dissipated Before Fall.— Consider Judge Byington As Proba- ble Nominee For Representative. Believing that the contest for the republican nomindtion for first select- | man may cause a split in the party and improve the chances of the dem- of Wilson are making a careful survey Of the field in the hope of locating the proper man to head the ticket at local followers | the town election in October. Accord- | ing to party leaders there are no can- didates in the field at the present time and it is considered unlikely that | there will 'be a contest for the demo- cratic selection. Democrats figure that with William J. Johnson and George S. Babcock fighting for the republican nomination there will be a splendid chance for their candidate, if he happens to be at all popular with the. voters and when they hold their caucus early in September they will make a deter- mined effort to get a good vote getter in the field. Edward P.-Prior has FIGHTING DISEASE GERMS There is a popular ides that most sick- ness is caused by & germ of the disease finding entrance to our bodies through the food we eat, the water or milk we drink or the air we breathe. Thisistrue a8 far as it goes but it is also true that disease germs are entering our every day without causing disease. The reason for this is that there are forces within the body that are constant- 1y fighting these disease germs and it is only when this defence is weakened that the germs get the upper hand and we be- comeill. Oneof the moat powerful of these forces that work for health is rich, red blood. Good, healthy blood increases the resistance of the body to the dis- eases that are always threatening. It is easier to keeF up this resistance b; taking Dr. Williamg’ Pink Pills, eatin proper food, avoiding articles of foor that do not agree with us and getting plenty of fresh air day and night, thac it is to cure disease after it gets a foot- hold. Keep up the resistance of your body to disease by thesctonic pills, which you can get at any drug store, and you will avoid much sickness. Two booklets, ““Building Up the Blood’’ and ‘““What to Eat and How to_ Eat,” will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y waged until there is an improvement in the conditions. Chicken Thieves Busy. Chicken thieves are again active in this locality and poultry owners are keeping a sharp watch on their hen- neries. The loss of several fowl dur- ing the past few weeks huas been re- ported from different parts of the town and it is thought that a well or- ganized gang is operating around the hen houses. Several poultry fanciers have had their henneries equipped with traps while others have installed alarms and nocturnal visitors have a warm reception in store for them at sever- al places.

" BAKER'S ~APPLICATION ~ GRANTED TTranster of License for Kensington saloon—Rev. Watson Woodruff in Town—Sunduy School Boys Can't Attend Excursion. A heavy branch, about fifteen feet 1ong, dropped from one of the high . muple trees just opposite the town clerk’s office yesterday afternoon and “struck on the top of J. H. Connley's automobile, just as he was passing along underneath. The impact of the fall was sufficient to break two.bows of the framework of the top, one of which struck Mr. Connley a slight bicw on the top of his head. He was rot injured but was forced down in the seat. Mrs. Connley, who was sit- ting in the front seat with her hus- bund, escaped uninjured. In talking about the accident this morning, Mr. Connley expressed the opinion that he and his wife might have been seriously injured or instant- 1y killed had it not been for the fact " that the top of the automobile hap- pened to be up, owing to the rain. Tndoubtedly, the branch would have struck the couple a heavy blow. Baker Gets License. The county commissioners have granted the application of John T. Baker of Kensington for a transfer of the liquor license for the Nufmeg house cafe' on Depot square. The license, which was written in - the names of John Woods and John T. Baker, now bears only the name of the latter because, by a dissolution of partnership, he is at present’ sole manager of the place. X There was no remonstrance against Mr. Baker’s application and he was the only person present at the hear- ing, held in the county building at Hartford Monday morning. A prominent Jocal temperance worker, when consulted in regard to the matter this morning, remarked that he did not deem it worth while to oppose the application for a license st this time as the license year is drawing near to a close now anyway. Rev. Watson Woodrufi in Town, Rev. Watson Woodruff, of Lynn, Mass., South Congregational church in New Britain, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs, James Woodruff of Worthington ridge. Mr. Woodruff arrived here last even- ing. He will remain here for a week’s vacation, after which he will pay a visit to a college mate who resides in Minneapolis, Minn. Rev. Mr. Woodruff will occupy, the pulpit at the South Congregational church in New Britain next Sunday morning, in the absence of the pastor, Rev. George W. C. Hill. » Interesting. Old Clipping. An old resident in looking over some pld Heralds yesterday found jin the former assistant pastor at the | issue of July 28, 1889, the following interesting item: “An oil lamp on a lamp post used to illuminate Berlin street caught fire last night. A small boy of the neigh- borhood shoutéd fire and residents of the locality ran out of ‘their ‘houses anticipating a conflagration.” Gypsies Pass Through Berlin. A band of gypsies riding in.four covered wagons passed down the turn- pike and along Farmington road yes- terday, attracting considerable atten- tion. two thin horses, alongside. of which ran a poorer -specimen of this ani- mal. o The incident recalled to many the trouble the authorities had with a band of gypsies which invaded Ken- sington last fall and proceeded to con- fiscate everything in sight. Boys Can’t Aftend Excursion. Four of the boys who belong to Arthur Woodruff's class in the Berlin Congregational church Sunday school wore “long” faces today. They had planned to take in the excursion to Newport, R. I, which the New York, New. Haven and Hartford railroad company is to give tomorrow but have been obliged to call it off owing to the fact that no more tickets are avail- able. Progress on Sewer Question. Résidents of Beckley Quarter are watching developments in the situa- tion in regard to the sewer beds in their section of the town. They are interested in all the proposed reme- dies and are hopeful that the city of New Britain will decide on some defi- nite action very soon so that con- ditions may be relieved. Mayor George A. Quigley of the Hardware .City - has just learned of a new electrical system which could be used in connection with the treat- ment of the sewage at Beckley and he is inclined to think that great progress will be made in the solu- tion of this difficult question within the next few years. Selectmen Get Governor’s Letter. The local selectmen have, received copies of the letter which Governor Simeon E. Baldwin is sending to the authorities in all Connecticut towns, regarding the law concerning sign posts. In the communication the state’s chief executive writes, "For- merly there was a forfeiture by the town where they were not set up or kept up; now the selectmen are per- sonably lizble to a criminal prosecu- tion and fine.”” The governor has walked many miles over the highways of this state and has covered many more miles on his bicycle, hut it is safe to say he did not s through Berlin on the morning following the night, a few weeks ago, when rowdies went out on a rampage and turned all things topsy turvy, including the signposts, or his letter to the local authorities might have been more specific. Pedestrian’s Clothes Damaged. A woman pedestrian, walk- ing down Washington early while ridge Each wagon was hauled by morning, ‘got an unexpected shower Francis Deming's residence, when a speeding automo- bile splashed water from a pool in the road. The woman was attired in White when she left home, but she seemed to be dressed differently when she returned, for the muddy water marks had made a decided change in her appearance. Delay on Church Job. The unsettled weather of the past few days has caused quite a little de- bath in front of lay on the painting of the Berlin Con- gregational church. Mr. Weldon and his men were obliged to quit at | | i | | the beginning of the rainy spell and will not be able. to resume their labors again until tomorrow when the woodwork becomes dried out. Providing the weather is favorable, the first cout of paint will be com- plete in a short time. Ball Club Benefit Dance. Officers of the ‘Kensington Inde- pendent ‘Baseball club are making extensive arrangements for the social and dance which is to be given under the auspices of their aggregation Fri- day’ evening at Foresters’ hall. They have engaged Judd’s orchestra of New Britain to furnish the music, Ice Cream Festival. The Young People’s society of the Kensington Congregational church anticipates a large attendance at the ice cream festival to be given tomor- row evening. In addition to the frozen pudding, home made candy will be on sale at the event. Weasels After Chickens. That Berlin poultry fanciers re- ceive their full share of hardships is more fact than fiction. Now that the chicken thieves have become less numerous, they are obliged to guard their stock from the attack of weasels, Superintendent James Dempsey of Colonel Jarvis’ farm has lost many chickens through the weasels, it is said. Date of Icc Cream Social, The Village Improvement society of East Berlin has decided to hold its ice cream social, which was post- poned last evening because of the weather, on Friday evening of this week. The affair will take place on Miss Gertrude North's lawn. Father Brennan on Vacation. Father J. C. Brennan, pastor of Si Paul's parish in Kensington, is spend- ing a week’s vacation at Block Island.. He will return late this week so as to be in a position to conduct the ser- vices at the church next Sunday. Berlin Briefs. Mrs, James McKeon is spending the week with friends in Brooklyn, N. Y. The condition of John Fagan of Kensington is reported to be critical. The Misses Mary Woods and Kath- erine McCabe of Kensington are so- Jjourning at Ocean Beach, New Lon- don. The Misses Rose Fitzsimmons and Nora McCabe are at Short Beach, A team representing the New Brit- ain Gas Light company will play a game of baseball with the Meriden Gas Light company team at the Ber- lin fair grounds Saturday, August 8. Health Officer George P. Dunham of Worthington ridge has left for Lebanon, Me., where he will join Mrs. Dunham and son Carroll, who have been staying there for the past few weeks. They will return to Berlin in about a week. Mrs. Mooser of New York city, who has been the guest of Mrs. Chaples M. Jarvis of Worthington ridge, re- turned to her home this morning. A son was born yesterday at the New Britain General hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mirandi of Berlin. Louis Hazen of East Berlin has left for Phoenix, R. L, on a business trip. Mattabessett lodge, Knights of Pythias, held its regular meeting last evening in East Berlin. Miss Nichols, ing Mrs. M. H. lin, returned to terday. The ladies of the East Berlin Meth- who has been visit- Hazen of East Ber- Lyndonvile, Vt., yes odist church held a food sale this afternoon in the church parlors. Mrs, George Bradley and daugh- used. C. C. Woodford, the party's candidate last year, is also consid- | ered as a good opponent“of the re- publican’s choice but it is doubtful if he would again consent to enter the field. While both Mr. Babcock and Mr. Johnson are avowed candidates for the republican nomination, leaders of the G. O. P. expect that before cau- cus time some plan will be devised to eliminate a contest. It has been whis- pered in some circles that to satisfy Mr. Babcock, leaders will offer him a place on the ticket as nominee for second selectman with a promise of the first position next year. It would not be surprising if this concession satisfies him and he withdraws in fav- or. of the present selectman. Under present conditions he practically serves as a member of the board in his capacity as clerk and gives Se- lectman Johnson a great deal of assis- tance. The republicans have not shown any disposition to worry over the se- lection of a new town committee chairman, H. C. Thompson, the pres- ent incumbent, having expressed the intention of resigning this fall, ana the matter of picking his successor has not been given any very serious thought. The place is one not usual- ly sought, but the leaders believe that there are severa]l good workers in the party who would be willing to accept it. k4 Candidates for representative ap- pear to be in hiding and according to political workers, who are usually well informed, no one is displaying any great anxiety over the probable action of the caucus in this matter. The prospects for the republican candidate for the general assembly are considered very bright this fall and even the staunchest democrats see but little hope for their candidate. Probate Judge George R. Byington has been mentioned as a republican possibility, although he has made no announcement concerning his candi- dacy. Judge Byington was a candi- date a year ago, but he withdrew in favor of Representative Carter and consequently should be entitled to some consideration this year when the slate is being prepared. He proved himself to be a Temarkable vote- getter last fall when he defeated M. O. Ryder for judge of probate, a re- sult which was the surprise of the | election. Judge Byington is also an assessor and is keenly interested in town affairs. His nomination, many democrats concede, would be equiva- lent to an election. ¢ Cafferty Gets a Chance. " Charles Cafferty, who was too In- toxicated to be tried yesterday morn- | ing when hig case was scheduled to come up before Justice E. P. Prior in connection with those of three other well known characters who drew jail sentences for participating in a beer party in back of Mason's blacksmith shop Monday night, last evening entered a plea of guilty to the charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace. He begged the court for clemency and promised to keep sober and re- turn, to work if leniency was shown him. As Cafferty is not a regular member of the gang which makes the center its headquarters, Justice Prior was inclined to give him a chance and he let him off with a $2 fine. There was considerable favorable comment today on the action of the officers in starting a campaign against curbstone decorators and it is gener- ally hoped that it will be vigorously ter and Mrs. J. Sandstrom of Middle- town have returned to their homes after a visit with East Berlin friends. Mr. and Mrs, W. B. North have re- turned to their home in Berlin after a stay of two weeks at Madison.

Howard Barnett, #Eket agent at the Berlin passenger station, spent yester- day at Savin ;tock. | every one served by the carrier must provide a mail receptacle. When the service was inaugurated a month ago, a large percentage of the patrons of the office purchased boxes and since that time others have followed suit, leaving at present only a few who are without receptacles of some description. Owners of some of the stores of West Main street as well as people who want their mail delivered to pri- vate dwellings but who have not as yet supplied boxes are receiving their mail from the carriers but the post- master has warned them to get the necessary receptacles by the first of August or the service to them will be discontinued. Complain to Superintendent. The selectmen have taken up with Manager Beardsley of the Connecticut company the matter of discontinuing the practice of stopping trolley cars to discharge passengers at the corner of Whiting street and Central Square. They claim that the cars interfere with vehicular traffic and that there is grave danger of accidents while they are standing at this point. They have suggested to the man- agement that the cars be stopped at the end of the double track in front of the Allderidge block. The com- pany is satisfied with this plan and after the paving of the street is com- pleted pasengers will be let off at this point. Brief Items. Mrs. Theodore A.

A wreath of roses bearing the words ‘“At Rest” rested on the casket. CANNON IN RACE. “Uncle Joe” Announces His Candis dacy For Representative. Danville, 111, July 29.—Joseph G. Cannon, former speaker of the n#&- tional house, here today made formal announcement of his candidacy for representative from the eighteenth Tl linols congressional district. His an- nouncement reads in part: “I had not sought the nomination and so told the committee but after consultation I agreed to become a candidate, subject only to the primary election to be held on the ninth day of September. I, therefore, formally announce my candidacy. If' nominat- ed I will make a vigorous campaign for my election.
