LETTER FROM BELGIUM. — Dr. Laura Hills Hears from Her Sister in Ghent. Dr. Laura H. Hills of this city Las received a letter from her sister, Mrs. D. G. Baker, of Ghent, Belgium, de- tailing the hardships suffered in that country since the war began. The com- munication tells of the great exodus of people from Ghent and other cities in Belgium at the outbreak of the strug- Sle, the shortness of provisions and the stringency of the money market. It also says that no newspapers are re- ceived save those published in Ghent, and little -news of the war is forth- coming. Nearly all of the English people now in the city are making their headquarters at Mrs, Baker's ‘home, and it is practically impossible |, for anyone to ieave the country, as all the means of transportation have been seized by the government for the use of the troops. - e ~ Will Report on Their Examination. Dr. C. E. Simonds of this city and Dr. William E. Gram of Mansfield, who ‘were appointed by the probate court to examine into the sanity of Charlcs MacFarlane, who is under arrest on the charge of breaking and entering the home of Fred M. Wright in that town and stealing $29, have examined the culprit and will make thejr report toJudge Storrs this week. Soldiers Do Some Revolver Shooting. Many people from this city visited the troops in Hampton during their stay there, making the trip by auto and other means. ‘Many of the sol- diers have been in town nights, and the local garages have been kept busy carrying them back at all hours of the night. Sometimes the trips were en- livened by pretty sharp revolver shooting. but the conduct of the sol- diers has been on the whole very or- derly, and there have been no serious disturbances. BICYCLES DISAPPEAR When Left in Front of Y. M. C. A, Building—Four Lost Recently. It has been definitely ascertained that the front of the Y. M. C. A. build- ing is a bad piace to leave bicycles. Four such thefts have been reported recently. The latest to lose his ma- chine is Myrton P. Jackson, one of the local mail carriers. . Chief Richmond has warned people / against leaving their machines there, especially for all night, as some have been in the habit of doing. The authorities are tracing the thefts. CAT SMELLED GAS. Nancy Brought Her Kitten from Jani- tor’s. Office at Police Station. Nancy. the. police station cat, is a great pet in the building and with its frequenters, although she uses her own judgment in picking acquaintances. She showed herself to be possessed of some intelligence Friday night when she brought her solitary kitten into the patrolmen’s room, away from the jan- itor's office, where she has been caring for it. Lieutenant Killourey thought this strange, and on investigation found an open gas jet in the room she had vacated. Another was found in the cellarway, so that Nancy is being Praised for preventing possible serious results.

The new American treaties ought to make war almost impossible. The re- cent action of the United States In regard to Mexico was a severe test of the sincerity of the republic in its efforts to promote world-wide peace and it has emerged triumphant. The fruit of forbearance and patience un- der insult, injury and misunderstand- ing will undoubtedly be gathered in the future, and in its new peace policy, as shown by its own example and the unselfish efforts of its secretary of state, the American republic attains a new 'helght~ of national dignity—Ot- tawa Citizen, PLUMBING AND STEAM FITTING PLUMBING Why not attend to it now?
