This is the edct issued by City
Physician DR.. w. G. Cole this morn

pected to obey.
In issuing this warning the city
physician said there was no epidemic
of any kind in the city at the present
time and that there might not be, even
though the water was not boiled. He
thought, however, that owing to the
low stage of the river and the pos
siblity of contamination that it

PITCH BLEND AT PORTLAND CONN.
Crystalline Sample of Uraninite From
 Which Radium is Taken.

Middletown. April 1.-What is be- heved to be the finest crystalline speci- men of uraninite, or pitchblend. from which radium is obtained. in existence, was found last week in F. E. Str ck- lands quarry, Portland and now lies with the uraninite collection in the Wesleyan University museum. The university paid an astoni ;hi ,gly higi price for the specimen. in order to keep 1t from being sold to the Sm sonia institution at Wash 'ngton and other museums which bid for the minerals mined at the quarry.
 The specimen is a little less than an inch in diameter and is of almo t per feet octohedronal shape. Uraninite polonium and has been discovered ony in the Portland Quarries in crysta iine form. In Germany and other European countries it is mined in commercial quantities, but only in massive non crystalline shapes. In the Portland quarry it is not mined commercially, but the workers occasionally 'me across a small crystal. But one crysta' the Wesleyan museum. That was found in a dump heap by a Sm'thso l. ian professor. who was inspect'ng the quarries with Acting-President Will liam North Rice. The, crystal was small but more perfect. Taken al in all however. Professor, Rice and the curator of the museum. S. Ward Lop- er believe the new specimen unequal led.
 The Portland quarries through the Wesleyan geological officials, have furnished Professor Hale of Ch'cego and Professor Ramsay of England with uraninite from time to time. The two well-known investigators have the newly-found element in minerals, helium.

z.PP.LIN'S AIRSHIP
 IN CHEAT PERIL

Berlin, April 1.-The gravest fears are entertained to-day for the safety of Count Zeppelin and fourteen others who are his guests aboard his new airship in which the party attempted to make a flight from Friedrichshaven to Munich. Owing to a fierce gale that sprang up shortly after the flight was begun the idea of landing at Mu- nich was abandoned, the wind driving the air ship out of the contemplated course. The ship has now been up ten hours. It was last seen drift ing before the wind in an apparently unmana geable condition.
 Zeppelin's latest airship was but re- gently completed at a cost of more than $1O0.OOO. Only this week he at tained a height of more than six thou sand feet, breaking the record for craft of this sort.
 The ship reached the environs of Munich but owing to the strong wind the Count did not attempt descent. He then started to return to Fried richshaven, Ill miles distant but could make no headway against the wind. Hoping to get above the squa-n the airship was pointed upward but no re- While manoeuverine the ship was be- ing swept northward.
 The authorities at Munich saw the peril of the Count and soldiers are covering the course as best they can, in automobiles. Major Sperling, sev- eral of his engineer corps and a crew of soldiers from the balloon battalion of the army are with Count Zeppelin

ADVERSE DECISION
 TO INSURANCE MEN
Law Limiting Amount of Business tc
 $l50, ,0C0, GOO EeId Constitutional.
(special from United Press ,


 New York. April 1.-The attempt of the big life insurance comoan es to have nullified by the courts that sec tion of the New York Insurance Laws which limits the amount of business they may do annually has failed. In the Supreme Court to-day Justice O'Gorman handed down a decision de- claring that this section of the state law is constitutional.
 Following the investigation of the in surance companies by the Armstrong Committee the legislature enact ed stricter supervision statutes wh oh were hard fought by the companies. The section they objected to most was that (which limited the amount of new business which could be done in one year to $150, 900. 900.
 Last December the big companies do- ing business in this state found that they had reached the point named by the law late in November and for tn } remainder of the year they were com peIled to refuse policies, accepting only such as could be taken as other poll cies expired. It was decid4d to test the law and the case was submitted to Justice O'Gorman. It was argued by the companies that such a restriction was unconstitutional; that it hampered the. operations of the companies.
 To-day's decision Is a heavy defeat to the companies and it is expected the case will be carried to the higher courts.

Means Rosy Cheeks, Clear Complexion,
 Bright Eyes and Plenty of Energy
 What does rich, red blood mean? It means brains, vitality, ambition, hope- fulness, persistency, and everything worth living for.
 But you can't have rich, red blood. if your digestion is imperfect; and your digestion is certainly imperfect if you have sour stomach, bad taste in mouth, lump of lead after eating, belching of gas and nervous unrest. So far reaching is the effect of indi gestion, that many times the eyesight is affected.
 If you have indigestion or any symptoms of stomach distress or ag- ony, any druggist will sell you mighty remedy for 50 cents, which is guaranteed to cure or money back.
 The remedy is called Mi-o-na. Its powerful, reconstructive action on the stomach is little short of marvellous. It tones up. strengthens and puts new life and energy into the worn out stomach in a few days. It cures by removing the cause. If you are a suf- ferer, try large 50 cent box. It's small price to pay for banishing indi- gestion.
 Mi-o-na is sold by druggists in ev- cry town in America, and is guaran- teed to cure sea and car sickness. vomiting of pregnancy, and all dis eases of the stomach Booths Mi-o- ma, Buffalo, N. T.

 Charleston, W.

The dead are: Sam and Andy Melhorn. Charles Jones and John Broomfield. John D. Lynch and his son were seriously injured. Only about a score of men were in the mine at the time of the explosion and it is thought all have been accounted for.
 Workers are still searching the de- bris of the entry affected by the ex- plosion of gas. Cause of the explosion is unknown, but it is generally believ- ed that it was occasioned by a leakage of gas from an abandoned part of the mine
