The Congregational church here will fiend delegates to-morrow to Bethany to attend an ecclesiastical council with B view to the ordination of Charles S. McFarland to the ministry. Some la flies from the church will also attend to-morrow the thirtieth annual meet ing of the women's board of missions to be held in New London for two days. A. large number of missionaries are ex pected to be present. Among them IMiss Kara Ivanova, a graduate of the Constantinople college; and Mrs Dube, ft graduate of Inanda Sern, Africa. Among the talent that has volun teered to take part in the big annual entertainment given by the music com mittee to benefit, the Y. M. C. A. of this place on November 17, may be found Mr and Mrs Trinkhaus, now of Water ville, flute and piano; C "W Mayser in Us fifty-six and seventy-five pound dumb bell exercise and also in shadow graph work; the first quartette of the Congregational church, consisting of Miss "Wigmore, Mrs ucia Warner, Mr McCuIlum and Mr Joy of Ansonia, un der direction of Choirmaster Cook in Quartette and solo work. It is also ex pected that a fine iut of town orchestra besides some other good talent will take part. , November 11 is the day set by Mc Guinness for the opening of the Gem opera house in the theatrical line, and In his doing so our people will have a chance to see David Belasco and S'ranklin Fyles celebrated military dra ma "The Girl I Left Behind Me," which as put on in Boston and New York is one of the most successful plays that has been put on for some years. Mr Belasco is the author of "The Wife" tmd "The Charity Ball." Mr Fyles Is the dramatic editor of the New York Bun, and they are men remarkably ex pert in their line of work. The com pany includes a cast of seventeen peo ple, each one of them playing an im portant part. The piece revolves around a war in the far west between the Blackfoot Indians and a' detach ment of the American army. Mr Mc Guinness . wants every one in town to come and see his first production. The board of warden and burgesses Will meet to-night, it being the regular monthly meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Kaugatuck Hose and Hook and Ladder company will be held on Thursday evening, when the committees will pro bably, complete their arrangements for their annual ball on November 24. And now the whooping cough has set in right smart about town. There Is also a new case of diphtheria. If the people who own residences do not have a branch tile put in to the email sewer pipe being laid in the trench up at the fork in the road near the F. F. Schaffer place they show a lack of forethought. That sewer pipe without a doubt, does away with the putting down of a sewerage system on that side of the river for the next ten years and it would pay Hillside resi dents to connect with it. The court and officers have given truants from school a fair chance to know that they shall either go to school here or be obliged to go to the reform school. The parents, have been warned that if they do not send their children to school that they may expect to be prosecuted. The officers have spent their time hunting up the truants and the court has spent its time to investi gate the cases without any results but warning to both parents and children, but they must not expect thl3 to con tinue for the court will certainly carry out the law unless truancy stops. Our taxpayers are paying out too much money for schools to allow truancy. There was no borough court to-day. Walter Wilson, who was removed Id the hospital some time ago, suffer ing from typhoid fever, died there to day. The funeral of Mrs Nora Reilly took place this morning, with a mass of re quiem at St Francis church. The de ceased had resided here for a number of years and leaves two sons and six daughters to mourn her loss. The annual meeting of the Y. M. C. iA. too place last night in spite of the heavy rain storm, nearly fifty being present. President Warner occupied the chair. (After the reading of the minutes and the voting in of some eight new members the reports of treasurer were read and ordered on file.! The expenses for the year had been $3,053.68. The collections from all sources, $3,055.62, fl,900 of same laving been raised by finace commit tee from subscriptions. The chairman reported that the association was practically out of debt, while there were a few outstanding bills. Provis ion had been made for the payment of samel A vote of thanks was then ex tended to Chairman Berger, of finance committee, for his energetic work during the year. The secretary made a general redact of ail ' departments and spoke particularly of the gymna sium work in class, of which there had been 31 meetings, attendance of 4,317, an average of about 14 at each class meeting. Me reported that during the hard times the membership fell off, but was now increasing, it being 1S6, with 30 juniors. The enlargement of gymnasium and arranging special rooms for the meeting of the Ladies' auxiliary had much improved matters. The meeting then proceeded to the election of officers. As the "Demo crat" predicted there was no change, except to fill vacancies in the board of directors. Walter Brown and Henry Olsen were elected to fill same. After hearing a selection on piano from Mr Cook and a variety from a talking ma chine, coffee, crackers and grapes were served by ladies. During the meeting the secretary was instructed to send a word of greeting to State Secretary Bates. The big annual en tertainment for the benefit of the as sociation on November 17 at the opera house was also announced. The Rev T. Carson Hanna will speak at the Union City mission to-night.

Special Agent Zeverly of the interior depart ment, whose sensational discovery of $90,000 worth of fraudulent Creek Indian warrants was announced last week, has reached here. He had a conference with Acting Secretary of the Interior RyaD and made a verbal report of his inves tigation. This was confirmatory of the publish ed statement showing that that amount of fraudulent warrants on the St. Louis subtreasury had been issued, but that the government would lose nothing by the transaction. The losers are outside parties, who purchased the warrants on speculation. One of the discounters, acting in good faith, bought $50,000 worth of these war rants, paying 92 cents on the dollar. The remaining $40,000 is understood to be confined to a few parties. The Unit ed States district attorney has the case in his hands now, and it is probable that indictments will soon follow. The investigation developed the existence of a conspiracy within and about the tribe to float these warrants. A number of the most prominent officials in the tribe are charged with the offense. MOTHER'S MISTAKES. Waterbury Mothers Make Them But With a Little Light There Need Be None. How carefully mother guards the se crets of her boys and girls. At night as she carefully tucks the bed clothes round them she chides and warns that mother will be angry if they repeat last night's offense, softly saying to herself, its only a habit but I must must break them of it. This is mother's mistake. The children can not help it, and sweet, clean, dry beds can be the resting place of every child when it is understood that the cause is not a habit, but a weakness that can be cured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys, and weak kidneys means inability to re tain the urine. This is a condition not a habit, and should have the same prompt attention you would give to the marked symptoms of any disease. One Doan's kidney pill taken twice a day and at bedtime will strengthen the kidneys of a child, and in a short time there will be no cause to scold, for the so-called habit will disappear prompt ly. Here's a grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words: Mrs William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Meriden, Conn, says: "My little boy of ten years of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys, causing him to wet the bed. Many mothers attribute it to 'habit.' They punish their children for it, but I knew he couldn't help it. I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills cur ing incontinence of urine in adults and I thought they might help the little fellow. I procured a box. A marked benefit was the result. It is very sel dom he does it now. I shall continue giving him Doan's Kidney Pills until the kidneys are strong. It is only out of gratitude that I permit publication, but the trouble is very prevalent, and most people, from modesty or diffi dence do not speak of it. Physicians do not appear to be able to cope with the trouble, and I consider it a mothre's duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific for this terible annoyance." Doan's Kidney Pills are sold for 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by all dealers, or sent by mail on receipt of price. Foster-Milburn Co, Buffalo, N. Y. Sole agents for the United States!

Mrs Arthur Straw to Deliver a Lec ture Meeting of the Ladies Auxil iary Watertown to Waterbury Twelve Cents and Oakvilie Gets Eight A Young 'Musician Coming to the Front. Miss Alice 'Murtha is attracting no small attention as a musician of rare ability. Her execution of difficult music is wonderful, and should she persevere in her efforts to master the art, five years from now the country will add another remarkable musician to its list. The small boys were disappointed last night owins to the heavy rain which interfered with their Hallowe'en jokes and capers. Mr Gails new residence, on Central avenue, is rapidly assuming shape. . A new dramatic entertainment for this winter is about to be founded. Lonson Taylor, the secretary of the Y. P. S. C. E., will send for additional membership cards, those few on hand having become rusty from age and disuse. Everybody get to work then. Thursday evening the Episcopal Sunday school scholars, first class, will enjoy a supper. Mrs Arthur Straw, a potent and con vincing speaker, will conduct the exer cises in the society of Christian En deavor meeting Thursday evening at the chapel, commencing at 7:45. Mrs Straw has been heard in our midst upon several occasions, during which she has left a strong impression on the minds of many. She confronts her listeners with arguments, clear, com prehensive and straight from the shoulder, and there is an earnestness characteristic of her convictions that conveys volumes to all who are so for-, tunate as to hear her discourses. The people here are stirred into a high state of agitation over the out come of the mighty campaign now reaching a culmination in New York city. The returns will be looked for anxiously. The Lease family have rented the S. H. Cowles property and will move into the same to-morrow. That already famous social body called the Ladies Auxiliary, held a meeting this afternoon in the parish rooms at 2:30, where all members joined in tacking a quilt, which will be put up to guess upon at their coming fair. The committee of arrangements was also elected and the afternoon passed in a most enjoyable manner. Some enthusiastic hunter is extend ed a cordial invitation to make him self familiar with a sly specimen of a fox that possesses a tendency to carry off tender turkeys, he having destroy ed several for C. E. Warner a short time ago. The animal's haunts are nearby. Oakville's new barber is a Mr Lein ger, of Waterbury, who has rented Kennedy's barber shop, and will open to the public next week Monday, keep ing open evenings chiefly. There's one person in every ten who has never read the "Evening Demo crat." We're after that person. There are five persons in every ten who seldom read at all. We want those particular people. There exists one person in every community who is a crank on newspapers. We're looking for . that man. In fact we want you all to know that our facili ties are the most modern, costliest and extensive. Our men are brighter and more vigilant than any of those of our contemporaries. We expect them to be, and that's what they are paid for. Frank Taylor will construct a new driveway to his residence leading from Davis street, closing up the for mer one, as in winter the snow drifts in there, making traveling almodi; im possible. The Pin company have men engaged in cleaning out and fixing over'the well on their property, occupied by Mr Rivenburg. Frank Reynolds has resumed his duties, having entirely recovered flora his accident. Two cousins from Washington are visiting Miss Nellie Dubois. The course of the new electric line is somewhat erratic. From the stone bridge it swerves off from the high way altogether, crossing the river back of J. D. Kennedy's, through Mr Capewell's meadows and William Mc Cormack's, and then going along the section commonly known as the "Row," proceeding adjacent to the highway, re-crossing the river near Seymour Smith's in the rear and mak ing a bee line over the hills to Water town. Yesterday the gang of men were working despite the rain, confin ing their efforts to the "Row." Fare from here to Waterbury is now as follows: Three months' commuta tion ticket about five cents or a little over each way. Three months' school book, limited to scholars under 18 years, cost $5.60. A twenty trip ticket amounts to $1.60 or eight cents each way. Watertown gets twenty trip books for $2.40, or 12 cents to Water bury, while we, being half way, pay eight cents. Will the public call this square? Watch for special features of the great two nights' fair, in to-morrow ieroaujg's issue WATERTOWHJOTTINGS. HOW HALLO W-EEN WAS 0BSERV ED IN WATERTOWN. All Should Attend the "Cents" Sociable This Evening Firemen's Meeting Business at A. N. Woolson's. In order to celebrate Halloween the weather must be favorable, but this did not seem to interfere with the young men of the town who were out last evening with rubber coats, boots and storm caps, playing tick-tack on inno cent victims, lifting gates from their hinges and indulging in all manner of deviltry. This morning cabbages were strewn about the sidewalks, gates were resting peacefully beside the river and in the gutters Henry Welton's gate was carried several rods away and ano ther gate was propped up against Prin cipal Werking's residence Considerable excitement was caused yesterday afternoon by the rumor that a certain young man had swallowed a arge dose of arsenic and death seemed near at hand. Doctors Loveland and Variell were called to the house of Mrs Bassett and applied restoratives The cause did not seem to be known. The young man is all right. Last night there was a meeting of the joint board of education held for the purpose of completing negotiations for new text books.

He is in the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Brothers of that place, and . they han dle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to choose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and fa mous the country over for its cures of croup.
