There are three more boilers coming through this city en route for Storrs college similar to the one that went through the bridge outside Williman- tic Monday night. It is not known just what route the next truck will make with its load but it is thought that in all probability it will be taken through New London so as to avoid the bridges between this city and Hartford. The boiler that went through the bridge arrived at its des- tination Tuesday night without furth- er mishap. The wrecking machine from the factory accompanied it all of the way to Storrs.

WORK PROGRESSING FAVORABLY Removing Debris From the Ruins of Jordan and Star Theatre Buildings The ' work of removing the debris from the ruins of the Jordan building and the Star theatre is progressing very favorably. A large force of men are at work on both buildings and it will not be long before the land is cleared so_that the rebuilding may be begun. The front wall of the Jordan building has not been disturbed as vet but this will be done as soon as pos- sible as it must be razed to the ground by Saturday upon orders is- sued by the building inspector, Thom- as Foley. Just how this wall will be razed is mot; known, but it is thought that it will be pulled down or done in some such manner as the experience gone through when. the rear wall was razed will not be repeated. FORMER MEMBERS MAY REJOIN T. C. C. Planning on Getting Temporary arters. Into It is understood that many of the older members or former members of the Thread City Cyclers will again have their names put on the active list at the club and in this way help out the club in getting reestablished in new quarters. This will be a great help to the youmger members who are now trying to get suitable temporary The Quinine That Does Not Affect Head Because of ite tonic and laxative: ffect, Laxative.

W. 1 ‘organization is. the oldest club in this city and its membership, pres- ent apd past, comprises most of ajl the blsiness and' professional men of Willimantic. * There ‘is ‘no doubt but what if the present officers of the T. C. C. appoint a committes to confer With the. “Alummi~ of ' the ‘club _that constderable ‘money will be raised -for the benefit of the club. The Jordan fire which resuited in-the T. C.-C. losing their club rooms - has caused many of the older and former mem- bers to realize that their allegiance to the organization should be demon- strated financlally rather than by words. The prospects are that_if the present officers and members of the club are agreeable many. of.the former members will gladly join the club once more and do.all in thelr power to con- tinue the life of the organization. The committee that has been ap- pointed to. secure temporary quarters for_the olub were supposed to. make a report at Tuesday night's meeting but as their time was limited they could not make the report. A special meeting will be called in the near fu- ture and at this time the committee will make its report. WAGES TO BE INCREASED Windham Sill Company Will Make ‘Third Increase of 10 Per Cent.

When this in- crease goes into effect it will make the tfrd increase that the employes of this mill have received in the past few months..
