ELECTION OF NORWICH ASSESSORS
Bill Passes Covering Local Trouble-Acton Also Taken
 in Regard to the 200 Foot Fill Regarding Saloons

ate a bill which has already passed the house, and is supposed to straighten out the difficulties of the Water street liquor dealers in Norwich. in case the city should ever go no-license and then revert to license as it is believed by them it would if the citizens were ever to attain sufficient prohibition ideas to vote against license. This is the substitute for the various 200-foot bills which were before the committee on excise, and is entitled "An act con- corning granting of licenses in estab- lished places"
 It provides that whenever a town goes no-license and then goes back to the reverse, any place which has been licensed previously may be again H. censed by the county commissioners. whether it is within 200 feet of a church or not. In Norwich the Water street places are much. less than that from the property of the Trinity Methodist church.
 As matter of fact. it Is doubtful if the bill as at present drawn means anything at all. and Secretary Spooner of the Connecticut Temperance Union, who Hobbies in the interest of temper ance measures, prepared an amend ment putting it into proper shape, but the senate wouldn't pass it. The point is that it is not the places that are licensed but the men who run them. It is expected that the bill will come back from the expressing clerk chang ed so that it will mean something; otherwise the Norwich liquor men and others interested may find that they have had their trouble for nothing.

CAN'T CONTRADICT THIS
No Matter What Skeptics Say We Have Proved That Mi-o-na Will
 Cure Dyspepsia.

'T gratefully acknowledge what Mi p-na has done for me. l have taken two boxes and can say I have been cured of stomach trouble which no one on earth had it any worse than me. I have increased in weight. My weight is 129 pounds, the most I have weighed in fourteen years. I think that everyAue who is troubled with their stomach should try this wonder Iul medicine Yours very truly, Mrs EmmR Schultz, Akron, O.
 There are any number of thin and serawney people in this world who are iR that condition simply because the stomach is out of order and does not extract the nutritious matter from the food to supply flesh to the bones.
 If these people would take Mi-o-na tablets with or after meals for a month they would take on good solid flesh just the same as Mrs. Schultz did.
 Mi-o-na tablets are known the coun- try over as the surest cure for lndI- gestion belching of gas, sour stom ach, coated tongue, sick headache, heartburn and catarrh of the stomach Leading druggists everywhere sell Mi o-na. The Lee & Osgood Go. sell them in Norwich for 50 cents and guarantee them to cure or money back.

 The enactment of anti-fly ordinances by the cities of Connecticut, which are not protected ITOIn lle ny pest, IS du- Vocated by Dr. Joseph H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health. Attention is called to the anti-1y crusade made in other states, and the report says: AS the same conditions prevail in this state it would be good thing for our Connecticut cities which have not already done so to en- act an ordinance similar to that pro- posed in Indiana.
 The propohed ordinance makes it unlawful for any person, firm or cor poration to suffer or permit or have upon their premises, whether owned or leased by them. any of the following producing, disease-causing condi tions: Animal manure in any quanti ty which is not securely protected from flies; privies, vaults, cess pools, pits or like places, which are not securely protested from flies; garbage in any quantity which is not securely protect ed from flies; trash, litter. rags or anything whatsoever ill which flies may breed or multiply.

Not Utterly Cast Down BY
Highest Court Decision.
WILL MOVE FOR new TRIAL.
Mrs. Morse Says She Expects Hus-
band Will Be Home For Christ
mas Day In Spite Of De-
NAL of Writ.

New York, Dec z. - The United
States supreme court at Washington
has declined to review the judgment
Of the federal court here sentencing
Charles w. Morse to fifteen years i'm
prisonment for misapplying the funds
Of the National Bank Of North Ameri-
ca and of making false reports of the
banks condition.
Unless the United States circuit
court in New York grants the motion
Of Martin w. Littleton asking for a
new trial for Morse he must go to the
federal prison at Atlanta, Ga, within
ten days to serve the fifteen years
sentence imposed by Judge Hough.
The notice Of motion for a new
trial is returnable on Friday. The
ground on which 1t will be made Is
the charge preferred by Mr.. Littleton
that the jurors in the trial court were
not guarded properly and that some Of
them INDUCED too freely In intoxicat-
ing liquors.
The governments contention in oppo-
sition to the new trial will be that the
circuit court has no jurisdiction in the
matter, now that the supreme court at
Washington has refused to review the
case.
1t Is said authoritatively that In case
the circuit court denies the motion for
new trial and an appeal from the re-
fusal Is taken to the circuit court OF
appeals the government will at once
ask the higher tribunal to vacate alto
gether the stay which has been grant
ed and urge the immediate removal Of
Morse to Atlanta.
Morse was convicted of misapplying
the funds of the National Bank Of
North America. of which he was for
merly vice president, on Nov. 6, 1908,
after q trial lasting three weeks. He
was locked up in the TombS until last
June, when Mrs. Morse succeeded In
getting bail for him to the amount Of
$125,OOO, furnished by twenty Of the
bankers friends and business asSoci-
ates. The United States circuit court
of appeals affirmed the lower courts
verdict of conviction on Oct. II of this
year. and application was at once made
to the supreme court at Washington
for a writ of certiorari, which Is now
refused. The motion for a retrial is
the only resource left to the convicted
man.
Morse refused to see reporters in the
Tombs today, but sent out word that
he still has hope. Mrs. Morse spent
part of the day at the prison and did
not seem to be worried by the adverse
decision.
Il hope to have my husband home
for Christmas day." she said.

SUE PRINCE FOR $1,000 1000.
Money Lenders Demand One-ffth of
Miss Stewards Dowry.

money Lenders Demand One-titth OF
Miss Stewards Dowry.
Budapest, Dec. 7.-Prince Miguel of
Braganza, who married Miss Anita
Stewart of New York only a few
weeks ago, has been sued for $1,000
600 by a syndicate OF money lenders.
The suit is based on a contract en-
tered into before Prince Miguel be-
came engaged to the beautiful Ameri-
can girl who is now his wife. The
money lenders advanced the prince a
large sum of money when he saw a
fair prospect Of winning the hand of
Miss Stewart and the wealth which
she inherited from her stepfather,
James Henry Smith. 1t is averred
that Prince Miguel agreed to give the
money lenders one-fifth of the dowry.
The dOwry which Miss Stewart be-
slowed upon her husband just before
their splendid wedding In Tulloch cas-
tie, Scotland, on Sept. Is last was
$5,0OO,OO0.
Prince Miguel declines to pay the
fifth part of this-$1 900, ,0OO-to the
money lenders. He stands ready to
return the sum he received, with in
terest, but no more.

AKED DENoUNCEs WATSON.
Calls Poets Attack on Asquiths That
Of "a Malignant Cad"

Of "a Malignant Cad"
New York, Dec. 7.-Poet William
Watson's attack upon Premier Herbert
Asquith and the latter's wife and
daughter has called down upon him
scathing criticism here, and the Rev.
DR.. Charles +. Aked of the Fifth Ave
nue. Baptist church denounces him as
"a malignant cad"
Il shall have a very poor opinion of
those Americaps who suffer Watson
to darken their DOORS" continued the
clergyman, who has for years been a
great admirer of Watson's poetry. II
regret that the poet has turned from
his hitherto noble attitude of mind to
voice such sentiments as those ex-
pressed in the poem The Woman With
the Serpent's Tongue.
From every point Of view deplore
Mr.. Watson's attack on Herbert As
quith and on the latter's wife and
daughter. / know a great deal of
them, and have never heard q whis-
per that they were not loyal to their
principles and their country. The man.
ner Of Watson's attack ON them and
the spirit in which it was made were
entirely unjustifable and inexcusable.
''In great national controversies in
England I have often been on the
same side as Watson, but now only a
belief that he is insane can restrain
expressions of boundless contempt for
him.
Mrs. Asquith has done nothing
which refined and gracious woman
Of the world might not do. There is
no reason for the attack on her and
just as little reason for the attack on
Miss Asquith.
81 would rather think Of Watson as
dead, with glorious achievements to
his record and his honor unstained
than to know him as he appears to-
day"

SEEKING SOLOEONS RICHES
Capt. Parker and Mr.. Duff Spending
1000 a Week Excavating In Jeru-
salem for Crown Of David.

Jerusalem.-In an effort to find
King Solomon's treasure and the
Crown of David, a syndicate of Eng
lishmen. led by the Earl of Morley's
heir presumptive and a near relative
of the Duke of Fife, are e2cavating at
the Pool of Sloan on the eastern
slope Of Zion near the spot where
the stairs of the City of David" wind
up over the conduit that brought wa
ter to the Temple.
Two members of the Turkish par
lament are continually present, this
being one of the conditions laid down
by the authorities before permission
to begin the excavation was given,
and great interest Is manifested in
the work.
Large sums of money have been
spent in obtaining the permit, In pur-
chasing land and in carrying on the
work. At present more than sixty
men are engaged at a weekly expense
Of more than $4,000.
Captain the Hon. Montagu B. Park
er of the Grenadier Guards, brother
Of Lord Morley, and Mr.. Dun, who are
the leading spirits of the enterprise,
say that their syndicate is working on
its own account and is not in any way
connected with either the Palestine
Exploration Fund or the various Ger
man and American archaeological ex-
peditions at work in the Holy Land.
Most authorities believe that when
the Temple was destroyed King Solo
mons treasure was looted and carried
away. but this only adds mystery to
the present strange quest. as neither
influence nor money is lacking to the
enterprise. about which the greatest
secrecy was observed until the work
was ready to beGin.
