G5, THINGS QUIET POLITICALLY Prediction of Republican Victory— ~—Workers Not Saying Much Just Yet. Although election day is not far off, ‘there seems to be little talk on the »streets as yet relative to the chances of the various candidates for prefer- ment. E. P. Chesbro makes a strong cnadidate for first selectman on the Republican ticket, and the members -of the party feel confident that he will be elected. On the other hand, their opponents _say that in nominating James P. Mi & young man with wany friends, who has held other pub- lic_offices creditably, they have made @ hard fight certain for the republi- cans. Outside of the fight for first position, however, there is not much doing yet. But then, of late years, there has not been the excitement and talk pre- ceeding an election that has occurred at times in the past. In the main the voters make up their minds, and step up to the polls when the time comes to register their choice, and they will doubtless do the same this year. Most of the real work does not show much on the surface, anyway. THhHe bulk of opinion seems to be that this is a Republican year. George S: Elliott of this city, as the result of efficient work in his insur- ance business, will soon make a_trip to California as the guest of a Hart- ford insurance company. A competition was started by the company among its agents last winter, and the point system was used, with the understanding that all agents who obtained one hungged points should o to the exposition. Mr. Elliott's rating was one hundred and _thirty-five. The competition was on the basis of the new business obtained by the agents. The start will'be made on the 29th of this month, Mr. Elliott going with the other members o fthe party from this state, and returning about Oc- tober 19th. Danbury Teacher for Natchaug School.

OLD GOHOOL WEEK EAI.A-NOE Nearly $150 Remains After Mesting All_Bills_of Big_ Celebration. . ‘When the Old School and Home ‘| week project was first broached ‘last winter, and from then on until the successful celebration was in June, many were heard to say that they were in favor. of the plan but were afraid that the financial demands would not be met. The committee, however, made no statement other than all bills would be paid, and that this was no idle statement is attest- ed by thereom enmflml meeting’ o e Tuesday, showing fl’!l 62 collected. and $$1,790.65 expended, leaving a balance of nearly $150. Seventy-five dollars of this balance will be given to Edward F. Kramer, who lost a cow indirectly by virtue of the celebration, the animal eating grass saturated with poisonous mat- ter from the barrels used in the big bonfire the night of the start of the good time. The balance will go to the Windham High school to aid in the expense of publishing. the souvenir copy of the Wyndonian, brought out in_connection with the event. Such a happy ending 1o the biggest week in Willimantic higtory is a mat- ter of great satisfaction and the gen- eral committee, especially Chairman George F. Taylor, Secretary Kath- erine J. Spaulding, Treasurer F. D. Jordan and. H. C. Lathrop aer being highly complimented for their share in the result. Freshman Class Officers. The fresiman class at the Windham High school met and elected officers Tuesday, at a spirited meeting, sev- eral ballots proving necssary before the following candidates were chosen: President, Harold Staebner; vice president, Ruth Smith; secretary, Ger- trude Smith; treasurer, Robert Stan- ley; delegates to athletic council, James Aspinwall and’ Alfred Staeb- ner, assistants to Wyndonian staff, Mpyrtice Tyron and Rexford Crane.

Fire Chief F. W. Gerrick, who had recently recovered from illness, is again reported seriously ill at his home on North street. A consulta- tion has been held by a specialist from Hartford and two local physi- cians. A complication of diseases seems to have set in. Chief Gerrick's many friends are hoping he will soon be able to be about again. Remodeling Railroad Restaurant. The work of remodeling and deco- rating the restaurant at the railroad station, has been completed, and the work of installing the new equipment will De started at once. Promoted to Springfield.

Joseph Gorski, the employe of the Vanderman ‘Manufacturing company, who was before the police court Mon- day morning for carrying concealed weapons and also for assault, changed his plea to guilty before court was adjourned that morning, but after most of those in attendance had left the court.

The people of Mystic were aroused on Wednesday during the forenoon when two alarms of fire were sounded. The first was at 7.30 a. m., when the home of W. L. Mas}, corner of Broad- way and Church street, occupled by the familles of George Berry and Mrs. James Craddock was discovered to te on fire. It was a still alarm, but the B. F. Hoxie Engine company and the Mystic Hook & Ladder company were on hand. ' No streams of water were needed, as the blaze was put out by several men with salt. Hardly had anyone got settled when another alarm was given, this time the Allen Spool company’s building. Both companies responded, but as the company itself has fire protection the fire was nearly under control soon after the men arrived. More damase by water, than fire was done to building. The damage was covered insurance. County W. C. T. U. Meeting. The 32d annual convention of the New London County Woman's <M. tian Temperance Union was held in the -Methodist Episcopal church Wed- nesday at an all day session. The meeting was_ cafled to order by Mrs, Charles E. Newbury, president of the local union. Devotional exercises were held. Reports from the different de- partments of work, including the su- perintendents of medal contest, sclen- tific temperance instruction, medical temperance and purity, county fair work, evangelistic anti-narcotic, sinz- ing, Sunday school, franchise, parlor and mothers' meeting, Loyal Temper- ance Legion, soldiers and sailors, press and flowers, showed that good worlk had been done since the last meet- ing. At noon a basket lunch was served, the ladies of the church serving cof- fee. In the afternoon the work of the union was talked over and these officers elected: Mrs. . Addie Randal! of Groton._president, Mrs. Mary Day of Colchester secretary, Miss Harriett G. Cross of Norwich treasurer. It proved a very profitable day for all present. Delegates attended from all parts of the county. Store Entered. The shoe store of Manuel Sylvia was broken into on Monday night, thieves having entered from the rear of the Feidler .block into which place he bad just moved. What was miss- ing ‘could not be ascertained until all the “stcok has been taken account of. Funeral of Mrs. Van Auken. The funeral of Anne Maria Van Au- kens, widow of Benijamin F. Van Au- kens, was held from her home Wed- nesday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock and was attended by relatives and friends. Rev. F. E.

FORMER SENATOR FORAKER TOO WEAK FOR OPERATION Joseph Benson' Foraker, farmer Unlted States senator, is at Christ hospital, in Cincinnati, in a serious condition from an internal malady. It has been decided that an operation is necessary to save his life, but on ac- count of his weakened condition e will not be placed under the knife for some time. According to the surgeons Senator Foraker has been greatly worn by overwork, and he cannot hope for recovery without the . operation. He has been devoting himself recently to his heavy law practice despite his POMPEIAN _OLIVE OIL The Brooklyn fair is-one of the two annual exhibitions of its kind remain- ing to Windham county and its field is now not only the county after which the soclety takes its name, but much of New London and Tolland counties and sections of southern Massachu- setts and the barder sections of Rhode Island. There were many people present Wednesday from all of this territory. They game early and stayed late. They came in comfort, were /well en tertained and went home happy. Nine- ty per cent. of those who came to the grounds Wednesday came in motor cars. The one-horse shay of hallow- ed memory was nearly missing from the list of vehicles. Some few, of course “drove” to the fair, but they ‘were in the minority. The horse. has not lost his place at the fair. however, and some splendid animals were to be seen about the grounds, thése en- tered for competition in various- events scheduled for the exhibition. Favored by Fine Weather. There wasn't anything in the way of weather troubles to handicap the fair’s chances of success. Wednesday was about ideal as a cattle show day. It was cool everywhere on the grounds, not very dusty after the rain of the previous day and a fine breeze fanned the cheeks of the smiling throngs. Driven Off the Midway. Early Wednesday the midway at the fair was given the once over by association officlals and members of the state police. As the result of this inspection some men who were start- ing in to operate a jingle game were chased off the grounds and others with questionable devices intended to ex- tract coin from those that ramble along - were also handed their hats and asked “What's your hur President Frink said that some men buy concession rights at the fair rep- Msenting themselves as engaged in legitimate enterprises, but once open for business and believing themselves secure from further worry proceed to run ‘a little crooked stuff. These are given the gate at Brooklyn at the first opportunity. The show never has been a harborer of crooked games and its reputation for freedom from skin games is not going to be impaired if watchfulness upon the part of offi- cials will help any, and it most cer- tainly does. State Police Arrest Three. Incidentally the state police made a little cleanup early Wednesday morning, Deputy Sheriff Edwin Ben- nett of Brooklyn - assisting. As the result of the haul. William Daley, Asher Brown and Lillian Brown, col- ored residents of Danielson and the town of Plainfleld, were arrested and arraigned promptly in a justice court in Brooklyn, charged with having 1i- quor in their possession with intent to sell. Each was fined $10 and costs. which they pald. A handbag filled with liquor was seized from a vehi- cle that one. of the parties arrested had driven on to the grounds. No sales were charged against the de- fendants, who returned to the fair af- ter their appearance in the court. These little incidents in no way marred the fair, however, and in fact were not known of by more than a small percentage of the persons . pre: ent. The crowds were busy with oth- er things. They found plenty that was amusing, interesting or instruc- tive and other people’s troubles were certainly not their’s. Exhibition Building Crowded. It. wasn't,an easy matter for one to crowd one's way through the exhibi- tion building, but it was worth the ef- fort. There are some mighty fine ex- hibits there, things that the farmers and housewives of Windham county may well be proud of, and would have been had they heard the many com- plimentary remarks made by admiring thousands. There are vegetables galore—pump- kins as large as a German Black Ma- ria shell, handsome melons (luscious would be a good word to use here, but we can't prove it, though willing to bet), a spiendid exhibition of po- of various varieties and corn that is of such distinguished strain that it runs a close second to that imperial grade raised by Judge Tuck- er at East Killingly and running, as they tell it up that way, six ears to the cob, by heck! Tempting Apples. “I never had a chance to steal ap ples like that when I was.a boy,” mournfully intoned one good-natured man of advancing middle life as he glanced shrewdly up from a long- drawn out and admiring contempla- tion of gloriously colored fruit from the Lapsley orchards at Pomfret and the H. B. Buell place in Eastford. It was an odd tribute to the success that has been achieved by Windham county apple growers but it summed up a knowledge and appreciation of the astounding advance that has been made in fruit culture by following modern scientific methods. Such vegetables and frult as grow in Windham county were shown in endless variety and the judges were welcome, in the opinion of ordinary mortals, to the job of deciding who should have the premier and the less- | er awards. Grange Competition. There was competition aplenty among the exhibitors in the many classes whose entries were displayed in this building, but none more keen than between Brooklyn, Wolf Den and Plainfield granges. Each had lib- eral display sections and had made the most of their opportunities. These grange displays contained some of the very finest exhibits of vegetables, fruit, preserves, dairy products, flow, ers, needlework, etc., etc, shown at the fair and all day long the crowds surged about the sections inspecting each article minutely. ‘Wolf Den grange eof Pomfret in- cluded in its exhibit a reduced fac- simile of the exterior of the famous den in that town and let their neigh- bors of Brooklyn grange kmow by a card prominently displayed that while Brooklyn might well be proud to claim as its own such a distinguish- ed patriot as General Israel Putnam, his exploit at Pomfret won for him considerable of his fame. Woman’s Department. In the woman's de t buld- ing there was the usual of the feminine visitors to the fair during the whole day. A mere man didn't amount to much in there. As a mat: . ter of fact he was absolutely unno- lveted on daintier ticed. !lyan ‘were rf and there was an uninterrupt- <comment on department represent many county toWns. Choloest Breeds of Cattle.

County Farmers’ Association. The Windham County Farmers' a sociation is represented at the fair by an exhibit arranged by County Agent W. C. Kennedy, and it attract- ed much attention. Farmers. who have been skeptical of the value of this organiation are coming more and more to see its value and will no doubt soon give ‘it full and hearty support. Amusement Features. The special features provided to amuse the crowds proved popular in every respect. Throughout the day music was enjoyed, the concerts by St. James' band of Daniclson. The Starratt’s animal circus was a great feature for young and old, showing acts that were very fine. There was an interesting exhibit of the work of German Shepherd police dogs from the Palisade kennels of Henri 1. Bear at East Killingly. ' Ten grown or near- ly grown animals and seven pupples were shown and were admired all day long. Some of these dogs are valued at several hundred dollars each. Kennedy Family Scoops Prizes. Wednesday morning there was an exhibition of family driving horses on the track and the Kennedy family of Killingly—Danlelson and Dayville— cleaned up. The three prizes went to Frank Kennedy, Mrs. Frank Kennedy and Louis E. Kennedy. Oxen and siweer teams gave exhibi- tions in the enclosure during the morning, this affair proving of inter- est chiefly to men, who followed the event closely. Racing Card Rearranged. On account of trouble in filling speed classes as scheduled, it was decided Wednesday to rearrange the day's racing. doing away with the original classification and making all races special. J. Carl Witter, who officiat- ed in the same capacity at the Wood- stock fair last week, came over and very capably acted as starter. The race results of the afternoon were as follows: Free for all Class. Dingcas, F. O. Rose Ti Be Musco, C. Sharron . Star Agent, E. Vo-burs. Time—2 Special Thr" Mlnvh Class. Beatrice, N.

The management .of the fair looks for a large attendance this closing day Fewer children will be present, how- ever, as on Wednesday schools in Brooklyn and some surrounding towns were closed to permit the young peo- ple to get to the fair. —_— NOANK Tierney Cadets’ Football Team Organ- ing — Cottagers Leaving Mason’s Island.

People Themselves Have Been Inform- ed How to Prevent Contagion. Naples, Sept. v m.—-Dr. Richard P. Strong, the American Sanita commission in Serbia, is on his way to the United States and expects to take the next steamer from,Naples. He sald today that the majority of the American doctors who have been engaged in Red Cross work in Serbla would leave that country on October 1, feeling assured hi because of the measures that ad been taken that it was unlikely emic would afflice Serbia, as the people themselves were fully informed of the best way to_prevent contagion. The entire Serblan army and mem- bers of the people had been vaccinated against cholera and typhus, Dr. Strong said, the vaccine being manufactured for the most part in the American Red Cross laboratory. By August 20 last virtually ali the epidemics that had been raging in the country were suppressed, and the spread of typhus in Montenegro had been prevented by adopting energetic sanitary measures. Dr. Strong described the situation in Serbla when the American commi: sion arriveq as grave, owing to_ the widespread scope of the epldemic hav- ing caused demoralization and tie lack of doctors, whose numbers had heen depleted because of the war and disease. There was a few English, French and Russian doctors working individually but no central organizae tion existed.

BANK TELLER BLACKMAILED UNTIL HE EMBEZZLED By Trio of Men Who Conspired With Him to Loot Bank. Syracuse, .
