Nelson piaced his loss at about $1500 with about $800 insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. Mr. Nelson said that he came out of his home to go to his barn to feed his two h he found the barn to be c in flames. He had not been thers for some time during the day and was completely at a loss to understand how the fire started. He felt much put out over the fire, because the two horses which were burned to death, he used in his business of peddling kerosine oil His oil wagon was not in the barn at the time of the fire. The Willimantic Fire Department made good time in reaching the scene of the fire, getting there in a few minutes after alarm, although the place of the fire was nearly a mile from most of the farm houses. When the fire depart- ment arrived on the scene, indications were that the home was seriously threatened. Firemen placed ladders on all four sides of the house and fire- men were stationed on the roof with hose to put out any blaze which might start. The work of the fire department was most _efficient and the quick effective manner in which the various com- panies reached the site of the fire no doubt saved the Nelson home frcm being destroyed. There were many words of commendation heard relative to the quickness displayed by the de- partment in reaching the location of visit of three months on the Pacific coast wit hhis daughter, Mrs. Leonard A Elis.

Chief Michael J.

This check was for $3, and was received from the Dorchester Trust company of Boston. The check was signed “Ben Valletfy.” Nothing more specific as to Vallet- ty’s_difficulties is known here, where he has made his home for a number of years. althoush he was for a time employed in New Haven, Judge R. H. Back Gets Biggest Vote. By telegraph Thursday J Pack received the pleasin mation that on Wednesday, in the d rect primaries of the state of Wash- inston, where judges are elected, not eppointed, as _ in Connecticut, hi brother, Judge R. H. Back, as a can- didate for re-election as judge of the superior court for Clark county, re- ceived not only the greatest number of votes of any candjdate seeking the honor of the judgeship, but many | more votes than the combined votes of all the other candidates for the place. Under Washington law this latter fact eliminates the other cand: dates and assures Judge Back's re- election in November. FOR WOMAN CANDIDATE Independent Party Making Every Ef- fort to Get Miss Emma F. Pilling on School Board. The activity of the friends and supporters of Miss Emma F. Pilling, named by the independent organiza- tion as a candidate for election to the Killingly town school committee, has become .a special feature of the town camp n preceding the annual town election; i £ it overshad- ows many other features of the an- nual spirited pre-election contests. A house to house canvass has achieved the intended aim of inter- ing a_considerable number of wom- n in the proposition that women should be represented by members of their sex on the town school com- mittee and resulted in a large sheaf of applications for registration as voters being handed to the registrars Thursday, the last day for registra tion before the election on the first Monday in October. To the strength at the polls of the women heretofore registered and qualified to vote and who, in many instances, will support Miss Pilling, must be added the list of women who have registered for the special purpose of supporting her candidacy—a formidable group as voters- nd the men who are openly and avowedly in favor of her elec- and still other men who have tion made no declaration of intention, but will vote to give the women repre- sentation in a special way. The can- vass in the interest of Miss Pilling will continue with unabated vigor un- til_the polls_close. Can Miss Pilling win? This is the question that has the political sharps figuring. That those who figure may have something upon which to base their efforts the following is presented Last year, in a three-cornered con- test between the republicans, demo- crats and progressives the selectmen clected received the following suppo; L. E. Young, progressive, 466; John A. Glibert, republican, 420; Alcott D. Sayles, democrat, 407. For registrar, D. Fred Kenworthy, republican, was elected with 400 votes. For auditor, F. W.

The new State Trade School build- In being made ready for occupan- y. The structure is practically com- sleted and trade school students have October -1 equipping the new building the the textile department. On the third floor also will be located the electric- al department, the drafting room and two class rooms. The school is developing splendidly and a large number of boys and girls are availing themselves of and benefit- ing themselves through its courses. Aside from the regular trade school students approximately 100 boys of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades are receiving instructions. Half a hundred high school girls and about clected, as a democrat; A. V. Wood- worth, 'democrat, was elected auditor with 338 votes. From these figures it would appear that the average strength of the re- publican caididates last year was slightly over 400 votes, the democra- tic candidates’ strensth around 350. The strength of the republican party more as it may be expected to be shown this year is indicated by last year’s vote for Frank T. Preston, named by the progressives, as well as the republicans, for town clerk and treasurer, Mr. Preston recelved 731 votes. From these figures, the forecasters take it, Miss Pilling must receive around’ 400 votes to win, perhaps 450, and even then, if elected, she would displace a democratic candidate, not one of the republicans. Some of Miss Pilling’s friends are claiming over 600 votes for her, a figure that the demo- cratic candidates would have exceed- ing difficulty in commanding for their support, because the party registra- tion here does not approach that to- tal. Should Miss Pilling win over a democrat, the members of the mi- nority party here will see in it the irony of fate, for the contest now on for election was instituted as an In- dependent movement after the repub- lican caucus had decided she was not eligible for nomination and so went on record. There isn't anything to in- dicate that the democratic caucus wouldn't have done the same thing, but the women did not seek nomina- tion on that party's ticket, nor are they registered upon its caucus list wp, to Thursday, arranged to a limited extent if suffi-- ed in the Civil war as members of |engazed as housekeeper for Willlam that command.

KENNEDY DANIELSON Undertaker and Embalmer Soacial Attantion o Bvam: Dasait No More Back-Breaking Scuttles To Be Carried Up Those Cellar Stairs - : If you buy coal in large quantities you must have room to store it; if in small quantities, it is expensive. When you want to use it you must carry it from its storage pluce to your range, and of all tasks that is one of the most weary. When you burn woed or coal you have the heat, dirt, and the trouble of attending to the fire. If you use gas you require no room for storage; no back breaking scut- tles to be carried from the cellar to the kitchen. The fire in O.he gas range burns steadily and without atten. tion; it is always ready, without dirt or trouble, in large or small quantities.
