Tentative plans are being formu- lated by the members of the Berlin ‘@range for the dedication of their handsome new hall, on Deacon North's hill, which is rapidly nearing completion. The probability is that exercises of dedication will take place fn the buiiding on Saturday, May 1, beginning in the early afternoon and continuing into the evening. Speak- ers of repute will be in attendance and high officers of the state grange will be guests of honor.

Since the stormy town meeting Mon- day night and the subsequent report of it in last night’s Herald, a number of people about town have begun to ask who the gentleman was that stirred the voters in the first and .most fiery speech of the evening and whom the Herald referred to as E. O. Dean of Blue Hills. Up to a few years ago, was the night city editor on the New York Tribune, one of the big metro- politan newspapers. For the benefit of his health, he took up his residence farm in the Blue Hills district something over a yvear ago. Ar out in this lonely spot, breezes of the Mr. Dean | impending controversy were wafted on the March winds. Being a public spirited gentleman right through, Mr. Dean looked into matters and formed opinions which he ex- ploited at the meeting and which were received favorably by the majority of those present. This fact was ev denced in the generous applause ac corded him. Later the gentleman Hills was interviewed by a reporter. “I take no personal interest in this matter,” he asserted, "but as a voter of the town, want to see things done on the square.” In this statement he voices the sentiments of many. Moncy Not Returned Yet. Although School Supervisor J. W. Dows came out with the statement a few weeks ago that the forfeiture of $17.19 from the state for the com. mon. school grant was made through an error and would be returned to the town again, nothing has been seen of the money in the town treas- urer’s office and the indications seem to be that the town clerk will have to put on his spectacles and look around carefully for some time be- for the promised check is forthcom- ing. As from Blue has been stated previously ‘n | evening at Although he, | this paper, the special examining com- mittee called the voters' attention to | the forfeiture which, although small, would not have been made if the school supervisor had sent in his re- port .on the conditions in this town's schools during the years 1912 and 1913, This report was to have been filed with the state board of educa- tion not later than October 15, 1914, but it was not received until October 27, 1914, Many Tickets Sold. Officers of the Kensington Dramatic club are highly elated over the big sale of tickets for their play, “The Doctor,” which is to be presented this Foresters’' hall. The af. fair promises to he attended with more success than any of the previous pres- entations which the club has under- taken. The dress rchearsal last night went off without a single hitch. Dancing will follow the play. Gets Tax Books Ready. Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw getting the tax books for this year ready for Charles F. Lewis, tax col- lector-elect, whose term begins on the first of next month, > The tax collec- tor has two books; ghe for the prop- erty taxes and one.for the personal.

Through his assistant, Miss Olive Shaw, the town clerk today notified the New Britain division of the South- ern New Kngland Telephone com- pany of the action of the town meet- ing. In the future, the town will not be responsible for the 'phones in the homes of Selectmen Baldwin and Town Clerk Shaw. An eighteen-dol- lar contract will be made for the tel~ ephone at the Town Farm, cancelling the thirty-four dollar contract now fn vogue. Under the new contract, calls to New Britain will be charged for in addition to the contract price. Beckett-Rittner, George M.

After firing four shots from his re- of fleeing Constable Nelson Sucie, of West- made hig first arrest ves- into custody volver at a pair junk thieves, who constitutes the police force wood park, terday when he took Michael Tutko, aged eighteen, who it alleged member New Britain gang that has been making a s of a is a business of stripping trolley cars of selling their plunder to Junk dealers Thne thefts havé been | committed near the Electric field, where the Connecticut company keeps old cars preparatory to dismantling them, Tutko, who was described by Prosecutor Norton as a bold . and brazen young thief, was arraigned in court morning before Justice E. P. Prior and despite his pleas of in- nocence was sentenced to Jjail for twenty days. He told his story glib- ly in court and seemingly was not in the least disturbed over his escape from the pellets from the officer's gun, his subsequent arrest or the probable punishment that would fall to his lot He admitted having given the police in New Britain some trou- ble and also acknowledged appearing in court in the Hardware City He stoutly refused to peach on hls asSo- ciates and maintained that he did not know the name of the youngster who accompanied him when the attempt to raid the cars was made yesterday. Tutko was arrested after a very exciting chase, the pursuing officer firing at the pair in an attempt to force them to halt. - While the bul- lets whizzed close to them, the ac- cused and his companion failed to slacken their pace and they ran in zig zag fashion until they eluded the policeman. The officer had seen one of the pair enter a barn on the New Britain road, however, and Tutko's arrest was the result of his search- ing the building. Displaying his re- volver, Constable Sucie entered the barn. Tutko was in the hay loft, on the second floor, but deSpite the men- acing revolver he refused to surren- der, challenging the officer to come after him, When the constable climbed to the hay loft. he found Tutko standing at the aperture wait- ing for him, The youngster had taken off one of his shoes and was prepared to use it as a weapon should the opportunity present itself. He threw up his hands, however, when the officer pointed the pistol at him. Sucie took his young prisoner to i police headquarters in New Britain, the officers in that city identifying him as one of a gang of young loafers who have been causing the authorities trouble for some time. Later in the day the local policeman rounded up another youth, whose description tal- lied with that of Tutko's companion. The prisoner refused to identify him, however, and he was released. In court today Tutko denied his guilt tarough Town Clerk R. C. Usher, who was named as his guard- jan, He declared that he was gath- ering junk at the Stauley Works dumping ground in New Britain when he met a young man, whom he had associated with in pool rooms. The latter invited him to accompany him to White Oak, where he said more junk could be found. When the pair reached the Electric fleld, Tutko de- clared hig companion asked him to enter an old trolley car that had been on a siding. He complied, but when he found his friend stripping the car of metal, he testified that he said, “this is no business for me,”” and jumped to tne ground. The officer put in appearance at this time and fearing that he would be shot, Tutko told the court he decided to run. Justice Prior was advised by the officer that Tuto's father said the boy was no good. He refuses to work and is a confirmed loafer. The boy's father suggested that he be locked up when he heard of his arrest. Superintendent Beardsley, repre- senting the Connecticut company, was in court to explain regarding numerous complaints concerning the theft of metal from the cars. He declared the company had been bothered con- | siderable and Officer Sucle was detail- ed to keep watch for the thieves. Must Pay $3 A Week. Warren B. Roberts, formerly of this place, appeared in the police court in Bristol this morning to answer the charge of failing to support his wife and their sixteen-months-old child. The case was settled when the ac- cused promised to contribute $3 a week towards food in the sustenance of his family. Roberts was married less than two vears ago. His wife recently com- plained to the police that he was not taken proper care of herself and of metal and of the First New Ward Republican club in Britain last evening.

Move to Hartford. The Miss Martha and Anna Brock, who have been residents of Plainvilie for over a quarter of a century, have moved their household effects to Hart- ford where they will reside in future. The young iadies have decided to rent their Plerce street house in which they made their home for many years. Wants Moncy Given to Selectmen. Elijah S. Williams, one of the leaders of the forces which success- fully opposed the plan for building a sewer here, this morning served notice on Collector W. J. Hemingway that unless the money for taxes is turned over to the selectmen, instcad of the sewer district committee, he will refuse to pay his assessment, Mr. Willlams was among those who favored discharging the committee and permitting the district to go out of existence. At the annual meeting Monday night it was explained that banks from which the district had borrowed money would insist on having recognized officlals until the debts were paid, and that the law made the selection of a district com- mittee essential. As a result a com- mittee of three, F. T. Wheeler, C. H. Calor and J. T. McCarthy were . ap- pointed to succeed the committee of seven which has had charge of the affairs of the district since it was started. The new committee will. meet in a few days to organize and will prob- ably elect a treasurer, that official be- ing delggited to receive the maney collected in sewer taxes, using the same to get the district eut of debt. Mr. Williams told Collector Heming- way that to insure the payment of the bills already contracted with the money received from taxes now due, the receipts should be turned over to the selectmen. His assessment totals $1.07 and although he admits the amount js small, he declares he will not pay it unless he is certain what use of the money will be put to. The new committee, Mr. Williams evidently fears, will do more sewer investigating and he claims he does not want to give the members a chance to, spend any of his money except on bills already contracted.

We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism -is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing tthe kidneys to do double work, sluggish and fall to eliminate the uric acid which Kkeeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is sald to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined. with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas- ant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. may Methodist | The Hartford Silk Store : We Are Exclusive Selling Agents for Hartford for “Ame and “Madame Lyra” Corsets, A SALE OF - ARTY DRES $12. in Different From Most Sales For : A very special lot of 59 brand new Party Dresses Taffeta, Crepe Meteor., Messaline and Chiffon; !'l:.l"r are I pink, maize, Nile, white and black Models are the very latest, some having the tunic offec are shirred at the waist line, others are ruffied. marabou and vetvet Trimmings are of artificlal flowers, In the following particulars the sale will be different.
