Plunkett Being Secured as Teacher. TR AL Committeeman Henry Gebrath of the Bridge school district was able on Monday to start the extra room which has been recently added to the school by fitting up Biliings hall. Miss Annie M. Plunkett of this city has been secured as the teacher, and be- gan her duties there on Monday, hav- ing a class of 28, who constitute the 6th and 7th grades, Billings hall makes a bright and at- tractive school room, and has been fitted up with 30 desks for the schol- ars, with the teacher’s desk placed at the rear of the room so that she faces the door on Hamilton avenue. As some desks were taken out of the se- nior room in the regular school bufld- ing and the district had others on hand, no new desks had to be bought. The room for the sub-primary has al- 50 been fixed up, so that Committee- man Gebrath said Monday night he belleved all the congested conditions which the town board had found at the school had been overcome. The senior room hag been left as it was, containing the eighth and ninth grades, but there has been a readjust- ment of the grades in the other rooms 7th gra 55 e teachers now have two grades in a room, which is a condition satistac- tory to the town board. Miss Grace S. jamin, who formerly had grades %, 6, and 7, now has grades 4 and 5, grade 4 having been moved up from Miss Mary L, Brunelle’s room, Thir- teen children have been moved out of the primary into Miss Brunelle's room, giving her grades 2 and 3, where <he formerly had grades 8 and 4. This has relieved the crowded condition in the primary for Miss Bessie L. Wilbur and her assistant, Miss Charlotte Gebrath. In securing Miss Plunkett to teach the new room, the committeeman feels that the district has obtained an ex- cellent teacher. She has been princi- pal of the school at Sterling, and it is with reluctance that they allowed her to leave them now. She preferred to teach in_ Norwich, having been teaching at Sterling the last four years. She graduated from the Norwich Free Academy in the class of 1901. As she had a state teachers' certificate she did not have to take an examination before the town board before being accepted to teach In this district.

The prescription is simple and can be made up by anyone at home. The ingredients can be had at any good prescription pharmacy and all that is necessary is to shake them well in a bottle. Here #t is: Fluid extract dandelion, one-half ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; compound syrup of sarsa- parilla, three ounce: Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. A few doses is said to relieve almost any case of blad- der trouble, frequent urination, pain and scalding weakness and backache, pain above the kidneys, etc. It is now claimed to be the method of curing chronic rehumatism, because of its direct and positive action upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys.

'he house was filled to its capacity. Alvolo and Othelo, a refined gym- nast team, prove that are among the best in the business and the real spineless wonders. Alvolo stars in a number of startling contortion acts, each one greeted with a big hand, and does some pretty combination work with his woman partner, Othelo. His concluding act is & wonder, as he makes a 7 foot drop on his hands from a table which Othelo holds on her shoulders. Josephine Arthur & Co. are the headliners in their sketch called The Wager, which is capitally acted by the company of three. In the list of bright and entertaining sketches shown ut Sheedy’s, this is in the front ranks with sparkliing comedy that scored hits all through the sketch, Two solos by Miss Arthur are given in a pleasing soprano voice and are a strong addi- tion to the sketch. For the soubrette turn on the bill, Italia, “the girl who writes the songs she sings,” fills the place to a nicety, dainty in her dancing, catchy in her singing, and fine in the comedy, line. Moving pletures with new and enter- taining subjects are shown before and after the vaudeville, Made a Hit in New London.

Burnap of the water departmeént went to Fair- view reservoir and found the water rising considerably and that it was but 170 inches below high water mark, showing a gain of 34 1-4 Inches since the rise started last Tuesday night, amd the pond is now in a better con- dition than it has been for months, with prospects of getting much bet- ter. There is a ful] nipe coming in from Bog meadow, where there is still a large quant water, the five million_gallons running into Fairview every 24 hours having drawn it down but very little, showing that the brooks are pouring in good streams and the gain in Fairview will thes fore continue for a number of day both from Bog meadow and from its own source: There was 2 good sized rainfall oo Monday morning, but as the storm had not ended the measurement was not taken. There promises to be quite a little rain within the next week and the hopes that the reservoir will show an appreciable daily increase are mak- ing the water men look happy. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.
