Dr. George F. Lewis, of Uollinsviile,

or consumption among cattle in this
state exists in fully 20 or 80 per cent. of
the herds, and that measures shoull be
taken to prevent the use of milk from

sumption is often given in milk and

By way of remedy a resolution will be
offered providing for a committee to
secure the enactment of a law by the
legislature similar to that passed in New
York; This law provides that under the
supervisionof the State Board of Health
the herds in the state shall be examined
and diseased cows killed after two or
three appraisers name the value of the
animals, not to exceed $80 each. If,
after post mortem examination, it is
found that the animal was not diseased,
the owner of it shall receive the apprais-
ed value. If- the animal is diseased the
owner shall receive half. If it be found
that the owner had knowledge of the dis-
case he shall not only forfeit any com-
pensation for the loss of his animal, but
will be liable to arrest.

NDT AGAIN A CANDIDATE
COLONEL RUSSELL FROST WITH-
DRAWS FROM THE CANVASH.
Be Addresses a Letter to the Republi-
cans of the Second District, Declining
to Allow his Name to be Used in the
Coming caucus. '
To the Republicans of the Swami Vot-
ing District: Owing to the brief time be-
fore the caucus of Tuesday evening, it
seems best for me to announce in the
press that I shall not again be a candi-
date for representative.
For something I have neither said,
done, authorized nor been responsible for,
it appears that party policy requires my
withdrawal. It does not seem logical.
But I readily yield my judgment to that
of party friends, the sincerity of whose
advrce is demonstated by their loyal and
dielnttrehted support. I am a cheerful,
contented and good'ualured sacrifice to
party policy.
The caucus will not have the two form-
er contesting candidates before it, one of
whom certainly was the choice of the
first caucus, the largest and nnst repre-
sentative body of Republicans ever gath-
ered in caucus in this district. That
does not seem logical.
In fairness to the candidates, in view
of recent disclosures, the issue should be
settled beyond a possible question of
error or of fraud.
But party harmony steps in, and
the other contesting candidate has an-
nounced his withdrawal, giving party
policy as his reason.
I have no shadow of unkindness to-
ward any wortby Republican. 1in op-
ponent had as good a right to be a candi
date as I. Republicans had as good a
right to vote for him as for me. I ac-
cepted apparent defeat without hitter-
ness. 1 now rutiro in kindness.
I’irsonally, I d ) not regret either the
issue or the outcome. The size and char-
acter of the support given me is a higher
honor than the office could bring nw. I
cannot i-xprrss the depth of my gruti.
tude to the men who so honored me
My chief hope now is that we shall Icaru
wisdom in caucus proceeding-I. and that
our of the pl‘rflt‘nt entanglenmnt, the Re-
publican party will come forth purified
and streng'bened. Brass”. l-‘ln M.

A Meeting Called to consider the Advise-

At the regular school meeting in Can-
nos, district No. 7 of the town of Wil-
ton, Davld 8. Hurlbutt was elected 00m-
miltee and soon after engaged Miss Mary
Bell, of New Britain, and a graduate of
the Normal School of that place, II
teacher for the fall and winter term.
Miss Bell proved to be a bright young
lady of seventeen years, and when she
opened the school early in September she
boarded with Mr. Hurlbutt.
According to the Ridge-field Press, she
soon began to complain that she was re-
stricted in her rmvements by the too
strict surveillance of Mr. and Mrs. Hurl-
butt, and was not allowed to accept the
friendly invitations of the young people
of the village. The climax came on Sun-
day evening, when she accepted the invi-
tation of an estimable young married
couple, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Smalley,
to sp ind the night at their home and
started to accompany them home from
the harvest festival at the Methodist
Episcopal church. Mr. Hurlbutt object-
ed strongly, was seconded by his wife,
and when the young woman persisted,
they tried to restrain her by force. She
was defended by Mrs. Smalley
and her husband, A lively time
ensued which resu'ted in lilss Bell hav-
ing her own way.
The next morning bllh Miss Bell and
Mr. Hurlbutt wired her father in Mood—
us, Conn., and he arrived on the evening
train. The matter was talked over in a
spirited manner in the depot, and in the
excitement Miss Bell fainted. She rev
fused to spend the night with the Hurl~
butts, and stayed with her friends, Mr.
Bell staying with the committeeman.
The next morning Miss Bell was re~
lieved from the charge of the school and
accompanied her father home. The fol-
lowing petition is the direct result, and
