Hartford, April S.-Town Clerk G.
S. Holbrook and Town Attorney A. A.
Browning of Norwich were before the
joint committee on excise this after
noon regarding the holding Of elections
on the license question in Norwich
every two years. instead OF every year,
as is possible now if there are TWEEN
ty-five electors of the town who see
fit to petition for a ballot on license.
The committee had before it two bills.
both introduced by Mr.. Tibbits of
Norwich, and both intended to ac-
cornplish the same object, that of pro-
vision for biennial license elections
instead of annual, but one applies on
ly to the town of Norwich and the
other to all of the towns in the state.
1t was explained to the committee
by Mr.. Tibbits and the. Norwich Off
Gals that the town OF Norwich had
done away with annual town elections,
except so far as they relate to the
election of school visitors and asses
sors. and that there is now before
the legislature a measure which will

years When the custom of biennial
town elections in Norwich became
law, however, there was provision
concerning license elections and If
there are those who desire one of
these each year. they can bring this
about, at an expense to the town of
perhaps $4,000.
These gentlemen felt that there was
every reason why the law should be
changed and in reply to questions by
members of the committee expressed
It as their opinion that if the matter
were referred to the people they would

After rounding out over thirty five
years as master mechanic of the Po-
nemah mills, Joseph Robinson termi-
mated his connection with that COM
pany Thursday night. There are few
men in the employ of the great cotton
mandatory, one of the largest in New
England, who have seen more years Of
service for the Ponemah company than
Mr., Robinson, and none who have
served its interests with more loyalty.
energy and ability. His departure
from the mill and his removal with
Mrs. Robinson from Taftville, although
expected for some time. are regretted
by all who have worked under Mr..
Robinson and with him and by all who
have felt the charm of Mrs. Robinson's
personality.
Born in England, Mr.. Robinson came
with his parents to Woonsocket, r. L..
when three years old. After attending
the public schools, at the age of ten, he
entered the factory of the Social Cotton
Manufacturing company at Woonsocket
to learn the business. In April, 1868,
he entered Cooks machine shop in
Woonsocket, where he served an ap-
premiership of two years and three
months and became qualified ma =
chinist. Mr.. Robinson spent year
and half at Pierce academy. Middle
boro, Mass, where he distinguished
himself for his ability as a student as
much as for his skilful workmanship
in the machine shop. The trade he
again took up after leaving Pierce
academy. While working, Mr.. Robin
son furthered his education by study
ing nights For two years he was en-
ployed as master mechanic at Manville,
r. I. On Dec. %, 1873, when 2S years
of age, Mr.. Robinson became master
mechanic of the Ponemah mills, Will
liam G. Tucker being the superinten-
dent at that time, a position which he
held until his death in 1890, when he
was succeeded by John Eccles. When
Mr.. Robinson took charge the only
buildings were the central building,
POW No. 1 mill. and an ell
There have been large additions and
improvements in the mills since Mr..
Robinson first came to Taftville, and
the master mechanics judgment and
advice were Invaluable during the
many changes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson are members
of st. James church. Woonsocket, but
have been regular attendants at the
Taftville Congregational church and
have been active in church work. Mrs
Robinson has been a valued member o.
the societies of the church, in each OF
which she has held the various offices

TEXAS EXPERIENCES
OF JOHN j. SOMERS.
Bills of Fare So Monotonous, 1t Is
Simply a Preference for a Method
Of Cooking.

From word received this week from
John J. Somers, his friends may draw
the conclusion that he is having a
capital time. At the time of his writ
ing Mr.. Somers was in Waco, the town
known as the center of Texas, and
he staying at the Hotel Metropole,
right in the center of Waco. Waco,
although a mighty fine place, is dis
couraging to the easterner in certain
respects. In the whole town of 10000
you can't see a good grocery store or
market. The beef Is the worst ever,
there is no veal or lamb, and fish is
seldom SEEN so It becomes somewhat
monotonous there in the eating line
In fact, the usual question at the ho-
tel is. How will you have your eggs
today?
The Wacoans are fashionable peo-
pie and they wear the same styles
that grace Fifth avenue.
During Mr.. Somers' stay at one time
the temperature was So degrees in the
shade, and later the wind blew fort
miles, deluging the town with red
sand, with which the country abounds
and which is unusually blown about
this year owing to the fact that there
have been no good rains since Christ
mas.
The corn is just out of the ground
and the green acres stretch away for
miles Many fruit trees have been set
out. around Waco during the last few
years and some orchards have as
many as 30, 900 trees. Land is in
creasing in value and what five years
ago was worth $40 an acre is now
worth from $50 to 500.
Mr.. Somers plans to leave for home
April 25. During his absence Will
liam A. Somers has been doing the
New York buying.

BAD STOMACH
Many in Norwich are Being Thorough
ly Purified by Mi-o-na, the Guar
anteed Cure for Indigestion.

People of Norwich who suffer from
dyspepsia and other stomach troubles
are getting tired OF taking prepara-
tions containing pepsin, because pep
sin simply digests the food artificially.
Pepsin relieves, it never cures.
And remember, pepsin only digests
animal food; it has no effect on starchy
food, such as potatoes, rice, bread, etc.
Mi-o-na cleanses and puritles the
stomach and bowels, and tones up and
puts energy into the stomach walls, so
that they properly mix the food with
the natural digestive juices of the
stomach.
Mi-o-na tablets quickly arouse the
stomach from its inaction. and in a
few days 1t is able to do its work cas-
fly and without exertion. There will
be no more sour stomach. fermentation
of food, dizziness, sick headache, belch-
ing OF gas. or foul breath.
Mi-o-na only costs so cents a large
box, and is guaranteed by The Lee &
Osgood Co to cure dyspepsia, sea or
car sickness, vomiting of pregnancy,
and stomach sickness resulting from
over-indulgence Of the night before, or

Biennial License Vote for Norwich
Hearing Before Excise Committee = Town Clerk and
Counsel Favor Change in Interest of Economy

be Overwhelmingly in favor of the
change.
There was no opposition to either
Of the bills, though members of the
committee felt. and the representatives
of the liquor interests agreed with
them On this, that the bill which ex-
tended the biennial liquor elections
over the state at large was not quite
the correct thing. There is no town
in Connecticut which now has biennial
elections on all questions. A number
have changed from annual to biennial
town elections and some of the cities
have almost done away with the an
nual election, but in no case is it true
that there are not some officials who
are elected each year and there is ne
cessitated an election day annually,
on which the license election could be
held if desired.
H. H. Spooner, who represents the
temperance interests before the leg
islature, while making it plain that
he had no thought Of seriously o-~os-
ing either of the bills, except as he
agreed with the thoughts expressed
in the paragraph above, stated that
in his opinion the bill referring to BIZ
ennial liquor elections in Norwich only
was unnecessary of passage at this
time, for it was a healing act when
there was nothing to heal.
Norwich had not succeeded in doing
away altogether with the annual cleo
ton and when it haG, and it was man.
ifest that for it to be possible for any
body Of citizens to Illustrate the wish
es of the great majority by bringing
on a nelection on this question onlv,
was injurious. then 1t would be pos
sible to get such a bin through the
legislature without difficulty. At the
same time, he didn't oppose its passage
now.
