NEW LONDON WILL REPAIR.
Decisive Vote Against New Municipal
 Building.

By q decisive vote one of the larg- est and noisiest city meetings in New LOndon's history decided Monday morning not to build the proposed county and municipal building, but to repair the present court house and City hall buildings, making them ade- quate for the transaction of the county and municipal business. The vote, which was taken after two hours of oratory, personalities, noise and smoke freely intermingled, was 347 to 145, and if the vote echoed the sentiment of the citizens of the city a decision on the part of the building commis- sion to build the proposed building would not be a popular one.
 The vote of the meeting means that the county and municipal build ing project which was given birth more than three years ago and which has been given frequent nursing since is squashed and the S150,000 building which has been the dream of its ad- vocates for these years will not be a reality-at least no for some tihe. The present buildings will be re- paired as soon as the legislation au- thorizing the expediture of the money has been passed and to secure the passage of such legislation a com mittee-ex- Governor Thomas M. Wal Ter, ex-Mayor George F. Tinker and George s. Palmer-was appointed by the meeting

HANDLING THE BUSINESS OVER AT SToNINGToN.
Burned Pier at New London to Be Re- built-Loss from $75,0oo to S8o,o0o.

Going over it carefully Monday the New England Navigation company's officers could not see, they said, where the damage, would be less than $75,000 and expected that when all claims of shippers were presented the aggregate of loss would reach closely to $S0,000.
 Hardly was the news made known to officials of the company before ar engagements were begun to have the business of the Norwich line trans ferred't 'to Stonington. where the boats will load and unload temporarily. It may be several months if this change is made before the wharf can be put in shape again.
 The Maine was ordered to Newport and left port at 12 o'clock Monday to repair The steamer New Hampshire will take her place on the line.
 It is said that the company will be- build and that they will have a modern structure that will enable the hand ling of business at a saving of $25,000 a year when they resume.
 The wharf was constructed entirely of yellow pine It was built during the winter of 1897 and 1898 at a cost of s7O000.
 The New Hampshire left from Ston- ington for New York Monday night, the passengers being sent there from New London at 10.45 o'clock, and a train leaves Stonineton for New Lon don this morning between and 5 o'clock.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, PosIam, Now obtainabIe in
 Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases or eczema and other distressing skin afflietions. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit or eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a months treatment. This was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pimples. blaekheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp. complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc, Whlch require but a small quantity to cure To overcome this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers or poslam have been obliged to adopt. in addition to the regular two-dollar package. a special fifty cent size, which in future may be found on sale at Lee & Osgood's, Smiths and other leading drug stores in Norwich. or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th Street, New York City. In all eczema cases poslam stops itching with first appli- cation, and proceeds to heal imme- diately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skln troubles, results are seen after an over night application.
 Poslam is also on sale in Putnam at Larue's: in Danieison at Woodword's; and in Willimantic at Chesebro's.
 Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge. by writing to the laboratories for them.

 This company is always awaited with much interest as it is known to stand for interesting plays and the proper people to present them. As Alexis Nazimoff, colonel of the impe- rial guard. Robert Burnett carried the part of an interesting character in a most pleasing manner. Eddie Poulter is one of the eleverest comedians seen here this season with a repertoire com pany and he made the most of his op- portunities. Helen Butler likewise created many a laugh by her clever work. Marion Chester as the scheming wife of the minister Of police. played the role so well that everyone applaud ed when she was caught in her trick. Herbert Butler, Lois Hammond, Bessie Delmore and W. H. Dimock all con- tributed their share to the successful presentation. The company carries it's own scenery and displays the proper life and snap which results in success.

AT sHEEDVs THEATER.
VaudeviIle and Movina Pietures.

NauQCNiiiS dAiA HlONlAAH EANAAl
 That Sheedy's theater had hit the popular fancy with it's vaudeville and moving picture offerings for this week was evident by the enthusiastically ap- plauding houses at thG matinee and evening performances on Monday. In the evening it was a case of standing room only and the theater promises to make a record run in the attendance line this week.
 A. K. Caldera does a refined juggling act that is distinctly high class, end ing up with a thriller as he goes up and down a ladder, balancing on his billiard cues, which in turn hold up a three legged table, which is set with a lighted lamp and half a dozen wine glasses. His fine work gets a big hand.
 The big headliner was applaude as the best that the theater has offered is the Plymouth quartette, that appears in colonial costume. Its members are Miss Grace Meloney, soprano; Miss Bessie Stevens, contralto; George Spellman. basso, and Charles Dunn, tenor, and their music was a treat that was applauded and encored to the echo by the capacity houses. Their numbers were, the following: Quar- tettes, Spring Song, Song of the Triton, Little Cotton Dolly; female duet, There Never Was a Girl &ike You; male duet, The Fishermen.
 In the topical songs and monologue, Smiling Jim Coveney is one of the best, and the bill closes with one of the rural comedy drama sketches that have been popular with Norwich audi ences. This is happy mlngllng of fun and pathos in One New Years Eve as played by Fred s. Campbell, Ethel May Shorey and Thomas B. Stanton. Each one is capably cast, and the sketch is a favorite on the bill. The moving pictures are new and enter taining.

STOMACH AGONY
Abolish the Cause, and Misery and Dis
 tress of Indigestion will Vanish.

Can indigestion be cured? Hun dreds of thousands of people who suffer from belching of gas; bilious ness, sour stomach, fullness. nausea. shortness of breath, bad taste in mouth, foul breath, nervousness and other distressing symptoms, are ask ing themselves that question daily.
 And if these same doubting dys- peptics could only read the thousands of sincere letters from people who once suffered as badly as they do now, but who have been quickly and permanently cured by the use of Mi-o- na, the mighty dyspepsia remedy that cures by removing the cause. they would go to The Lee & Osgood Go. this very day and get large box of Mi-o- na tablets. and start themselves on the right road to health at once.
 The price of Mi-o-na tablets is only 50 cents, and The Lee & Osgood Go. guarantees them to cure indigestion, or money back.
 Thin or lean or scrawny people will find in Mi-o-na a maker Of flesh and blood, because it causes the stomach to extract more nutritious matter from the food, which quickly enriches the blood.

 What will be done with Riley. the states attorney is unable to say. On the stand he testified he had been promised no leniency, but the state could not have made outfa ease ex- eept for his testimony, and it is prob able he will be given a chance to plead guilty to some lesser charge, and the part he has played by his confession and assistantance to the state will probably be taken into consideration
