Gates, sheriff of Windham county and one of the most popular men in its territory.- Mr. Gates was elected last fall and took office Junme 1st of this year.

In going over the ballots it was noticed by a prominent democratic politician that the- name ®of George Maheu was wrongly spelled on the bal- lot and read “Mahen.” .Town Clerk Fenton’s attention was called to the mistake, as he had had no time to ex- amine the papers carefully, the mistake being noticed soon after they came te the office. Mr. Fenton called up the office of the secretary of state in Hart- ford and reported the matter. He was told that former attorney generals had ruled that if there was no such name on the voting list, and it was evidently a mistake, it was all right. It is prob- able, however, that Attorney General George E. Hinman of this city may be asked to pass upon the question. If his opinion is unfavorable, there seems to be no othef course than to have the ballots reprinted. . NOT GOING TO NORWICH. Elku Change Plans Because of Chief Gerrick’s Death.

LIFE SAVED AFTER OPERATION FAILED Mrs. Clare Shaw of Providence Used Wonderful Remedy., Mrs. Clare Shaw of 493 Dexter St., Providence, R. I, was a sufferer from stomach and liver troubles for many years. She was treated both in the United -States and abroad. She underwent an operation. Still she suffered. Then she took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and found swift relief. Ih a letter telling of her case she said: “I received your sample treatment the day before Christmas and it saved my life, for I was almost gone. I had an inflammation that got right up in my throat and seemed to choke me. My neighbors say it is a miracle, as they know how I suffered. I am bet- ter now than Uhave been for 20 years.” Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy gives per- manent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like.

JEWETT CITY ‘Wild Duck Hunting Not What It Was —Hunters’ Licenses lssued—Low Temperature Tuesday Morning— Apples Blown from Trees. For the first time since black ducks were protected by law, the season for shooting is not open-on them until Oct. 1. The date has always been Sept. 1st. On other game the law is off Oct. 8th and goes on again Nov. 24th, thus taking two weeks from the hunt- ing season, as it usea to be Oct. 1 to Nov. 30. Time was when duck shooting in the Tadpole pond was the top notch of sport. Everything that would throw shot was called into commission on Sept. 1st. Sometimes there would be as many as a dozen hunters In one evening on this feeding grounds, where they came from thé Quinebaug to stay for the night. It was no unusual sight in those times to see eight or ten flocks come in from different directions just before sundown. There would of- ten be several hundred duck: At that time some el structed blinds were situated at dif- ferent parts of the pond. These times it is a fortunate huater'who gets a shot: the ducks are few and exceed- ingly hard to come at. The new restrictions passed by the general assembly, session of 1915, say that no duck shall be taken except with @ gun fired at arm’s length with- out a rest. They shall not be fired at {m a boat propelled ctherwise than hand, or from any floating device used to conceal the hunter, if more than 50 feet from sho® or natural growth of grass or flags, and they shall not ‘be taken except between sunrise and sunset. ‘Wood duck, which are nearly extinct in this section, are protected until Aug. 31, 1919, Town Clerk John Welsh has issued new hunters’ licenses to the following persons: John J. Herbert, Harold Herbert,” Ernest Ecclestoh, Willlam M. Moonssees, John Moonsees, Charles H. Bromley, Willlam Marshall, Robert Willis. H. G. Willis, W. 8. Rood, Theo- dore Tetreault, R. W.

Thursday & light bfeeze sprang up and saved the day; a8 it was, the mercury had dropped to 36 degrees. Apple raisers in this section report that nearly two-thirds of their apple crop is on the ground. as a result of Sunday’s “sou’-wester.” Flock of Wild Geese Taken. In connection with duck hunting in Tadpole pond, a story is told by an old-time hunter, the truth of which is vouched for by many local sportsmen. Many times, even recently, wild geese in their migratory flights in the very early spring have stopped a while in Tadpole to rest. Ome night, after two or three days of severe northeast storm weather, a flock of geese, being stormbound and tired, dropped imto Tadpole about sundown. During the night the weather cleared and came on much colder. -In the morning the half- inch ice that covered the pond pre- vented the geese from getting away. The railroad section men, of whom the late Addison Learned was fore- man, sent word to the town, and men and boys with long poles and guns hurried to the pond. Boats were se- cured and the whole flock, over 40, ‘were taken. Change in Train Schedule.
