One of the accused told me personally some things the truth of which I questioned at the time. I have made no attack on anyone for doing any il- legal act. have said some things and propose to say some more about the system of administering the law in this town, system, which, In my Judgment, is as pernicious as anything which can emanate from the pit, It Is asserted, and denied by no one, that the regular procedure of the officials for years has been to issue warrants and for a sheriff or constable to notify certain parties known to be running full fledged bar rooms without license to appear before the justice of the peace on a certain day. They would appear and ask Well, how much is it this time?" They would be told, and paying up, would go back to their H. legal rum shops without having their illegal business even interrupted No more questions would be asked for about twenty days when the process would be repeated. This practice has become so well known and under stood that it has been alluded to in the press as the Common law of Milford" and the Milford practice act Now, my friends, let us look at this thing squarely. The law relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors without a li- cense under which this was begun reads as follows: co. s. S0SO Any person who without a license therefor shall sell or exchange or shall offer or expose for sale or exchange or shall own or keep with intent to sell or ex- change any spirituous and intoxi- eating liquors shall be fined for the first offense not more than fifty dol- lars, for the second offense he shall
 to fined fifty dollars and be imprlson- and every subsequent offense he shall be fined one hundred dollars and i'm
 prisoned for sixty days
 The law under which this system has been carried on for the last three years reads as follows: Chap, S31, acts of '95) Every person convicted for a first violation of the provisions of the laws relating to the sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors shall be pun
 ished by a fine of not less than ten
 nor more than two hundred dollars ! for a second and all subsequent con- l victions such person shall be punish
 ed by said fine or by imprisonment not less than ten days nor more than six | months, or by such fine and imprison- ment both."
 It is plainly evident that the spirit and intent of this law was to stop il-

MIR. THRASHER AT MILFORD
HE MAKES 4 VIGOROUS SPEECH AGAINST THE LIoUOB TR1FFIC

And i'm Behalf of the Temperance Work ,-strongIy Advocated a Union of All Factions Opposed to the Saloon,
 S. F. Thrasher. secretary of the Law and Order League, addressed an audi ance in the First Congregational church, Milford, last evening, which filled the chruch to the doors. The meeting was held under the auspices of the w. c. T. U. of that place. MT. Thrasher made vigorous speech in behalf of temperance and against the the liquor traffic generally. He spoke of the importance of enforcing law as a temperance measure and strongly advocated the organization of all fac tions opposed to the saloon in order to cope with organized lawlessness" as he termed it.
 Referring to the recent work in this town MT. Thrasher said:
 l am expected, I believe, to say something about the recent work of the League in this town There has been good deal of newspaper talk as is usual when anything occurs which Is out of the ordinary rut. The plain unvarnished facts are that the law re- lating to the sale of liqour in your town has been fagrantly and open ly violated as to become a blot upon the town and a scandal wherever it is known and the matter has been made much worse by the method of proceed ure on the part of the authorities. I insist upon being understood. I have been quoted as accusing your officials of bribery and all sorts of wickedness. I have not said a word that could be distorted into any accusation of the kind. did say this and in one paper was quoted literally.
 "There are rumors afloat but they come from saloonkeepers who have by their own confession been openly breaking the law and paying for the privilege of so doing. The testimony Z of such men cannot be considered the best evidence. Interesting revelations may result from the trials Monday, for it is the wish of the citizens who have petitioned the Law and Order League to probe this matter to the bottom

A Rare Opportunity for Studying Harmony.
A class is now forming to pursue the
study of this interesting and important
branch of music under the direction of
Prof. H. S. Saroni The terms are
placed as low as to bring them within
the reach of all, being only two dollars
for the term of twenty one-hour lessons.
1t is needless to point out the import
ance of this study to amateur as we'll
as to the professional, and it is equally
needless to point to the fitness of Mr..
Saroni as teacher, he having devoted
his life to the study of it, besides being
the author of several popular works on
harmony.
1t is desired that those wishing to
join the class will apply at the earliest
moment to Mr.. Saroni at 304 Putnam
street, who will gladly give further in
formation. Dec. .3lst-3ts.

torium New Years Night. The perfor-
nance gave general satisfaction. The
story is a clean, chaste and beautiful
one and was interpreted by capable
company. 1t was one of that class oi
sentimental productions which appeals
to all. An unusual mark of apprecia-
tion in a Marietta audience was the
fact that everybody remained seated
and gave close attention to the players
until the curtain went down on the

A Great English statesman's Secret

The, secret of IA celebrated English
s~tatesman's long life was his systematic
way of eating. Every bite of food was
chewed thirty times before swallowing.
The result was he naturally enjoyed
good health. Most men and women
bolt their food, and eat things which
were never intended to be eaten. They
become costive, have n bad complexion,
lose flesh, are irritable and nervous,
and the first thing they know they are
''played out" 1t is gratifying to know
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cures
stomach troubles. 1t is a purely
vegetable medicine that has stood the
test of many years 1t cures cases
which seem to be hopeless. Sufferers
from any disorder of stomach. liver or
bowels should try it.
