Forty-eight or fifty degrees change in temperature in twenty-four hours indicates that nobody needs to go away from New England for change of climate. Connecticut oystermen say that cold weather is interfering with getting oysters in Narragansett bay and if the cold continues two or three days long- er may stop all oyster dredging for a time. It was a matter of local historical interest that Wednesday was the an- niversary of the day in 1781 when a native of Norwich, Benedict Arnold, then in the employ of the British, as- cended the James river and destroved a large quantity of stores at Rich- mond, The pharmacy commissioners are to examine candidates for pharmacy li- censes at the capitol in Hartford to- (Friday).

A recent notlee reiterates the rule established a vear ago on the New Haven road that dogs may go in the baggage car at excess baggage rates, computed on a minimum weight of 100 pounds. Then it explains that “the inspection of the contents of baskets or other effective enclosures is not ex- pected, even though the basket or en- closure may contain small dogs close- ly confined.” But if the dog becomes annoying to passengers he may be re- moved to the baggage car. AT BROADWAY THEATER. Choice Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. One of the best vaudeville bills ever offered here is at the Broadway theater for the rest of the week. It beats any thing ever seen here, having variet and ~ clever entertainment combined, while Manager Hanscomb has selected a number of interesting picture films which likewlse interest. The first act is by Felton, the til athlete, who is a swift one with punct ing bags, introducing many novel fea- tures, such as keepifig six going once, imitating a train, and it mak- no difference to him whether he uses his fists, head or feet. It is ‘a pretty picture which the scene for the Lass o' Lomond displays and the number, the topliner of the bill, is an unusually pleasing one. Scotch songs are introduced and beau- tifully sung, the audiences finding truc delight therein, while the preity love story holds the attention. The return of Hammond & Forrester to the city was enthuslastically wal- comed, as ithey are two of the cleverest entertalners the local vaudeville stage has had the pleasure of seeing. Brigh, sparkling and funny are they in their fones and comedy and they get n Lig ano. The Clemenzo brothers introduce a novelty in the musical line as weil zs several acrobatic features whicn raaka an instant hit. They get music out of tableware, play = several instruments and close by playing on the garden fence.

Allen hook and ladder company, of which organization Mr. Dowsett had been a member a long time, acted as bearers. e interment was in Cedar Hunting with Motor Cars. Automobiles are revolutionizing methods of hunting wild game in west- ern Kansas. A wolf hunt under the new plan is most exciting. One man runs the auto and another does the shooting. A machine can miles and miles on the open prairie of the west without coming in contact with a fence or a creek. When a_wolf or covote is scared up the auto takes after him. The wolf runs in gn easy circle, He doesn’t dodge back and forth. So it Is comparatively easy for the driver to keep right behind him. But the au- tomobile must have great speed. A coyote can run 30 miles an hour with ease. A few days ago some Gar- den City hunters ran down a covote and killed him with the wheels. That was considered a great hunting feat. When hunters used to chase coyotes on horses and with dogs, there was never a record of where they drove the coyotes to their dens. But it is different with automobiles. Coyotes run until they are about to be taken in and then make for their dens., In order to._ “smoke fhem out” the driver attached a rubber tube to the gas tank of his car and runs the other end down in the hole. That soon brings the covote out and the race is resumed until the animal is bagged. “it’s the Best I Ever Used” This is the verdict that is heard daily at SMITH'S PRESCRIPTION STORE and it is given by customers who-have been using SMITH’S WITCH HAZEL JELLY for years. It keeps the face and hands in the most delicate and faultless condition, free from all chaps, free from all red- ness and roughness, We invite you to give it a trial.
