Company at keosauqua. s.
Through letter from Col Richie
I learn that the officers Of the Chicago
Power Co., recently visited Detroit
Mich, and had conference with the
engineers. Under the conditions stated
this Chicago Co., will proceed with the
work at Keosauqua. Col, Richie has
furnished the company engineer with
complete plans for the work.
1.-TWO dams will be built down there
at points designated by the engineers,
the first at Keosauqua and the second
four miles above Kilbourne. The
dams will be eighteen feet high, de-
velope 1000 horse power and create
twenty miles of six foot steamboat
channel. This company has the
money and the work will now COM

"And now comes another company.
These foreign capitalists seem to know
good thing when they see It and
they want some of the water power on
the Des Moines river, knowing THAT It
will bring them large dividends and
increase their bank accounts.
During the month of July syndi-
cate of eastern capitalists organized
a company and named 1t The Des
Moines River Water Power Co. The
office OF this company is in Portland,
Maine. This company will secure per-
mits from the war department and
then come to the Des Moines river and
build dams under the direction OF Col.
Richie and his assistant engineers. So
it appears that the agitation of the Des
Moines river project is bringing good
results. The eastern capitalists are
to us to invest their money in
the great water power. 1t may be that
the eastern companies will build q
arge number Of the twenty.three dams.
They appear to want the power. II SO
the government will get the navigation
at a small cost and the engineers will
have nothing to do but direct the work.

IN AGONY WITH ITCHING

About four years ago / broke out
with sores on my arms like boils. AT
ter two months they were all over my
body, some coming, and some going
away. In about six months the boils
quit, but my arms. neck and body
broke out with an itching, burning
rash. 1t would burn and itch, and
como out in pimples like grains of
wheat. l was in a terrible condition.;
i could not sleep or rest. Parts of my
flesh were raw AID l could scarcely
bear my clothes on. l could not lie
in bed in any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then | suffered agony
with the burning, itching sores. |
could hardly walk and for a long time
l could not put on socks.
All this time l was trying every
thing could hear Of, and had the skill
of three doctors. They said it was
eczema. l got no benefit from all
this. l was nearly worn out, and had
given up in despair of aver being cured
when I was advised by a friend to try
Cuticura Remedies. l purchased Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent,
and used exactly as directed. l used
the Cuticura Remedies constantly for
tour months, and nothing else, and was
perfectly cured. It is now a year, and
have not had the least bit since. |
am ready to praise the Cuticura Rem
edies at any time. (Signed) E. L..

as in the old days, when they sold
six for 25 cents. but the price has
fallen to 16 cents a pound, which is
decidedly different from the figures
that were being quoted early in tho
spring. Then they were being bought

THINKS SOCIALISM WILL
 REFORM THE CHURCH.
pr. Leux of Meriden, Who Was Asked to Rssign Pulpit Because of His Stand, Heard Here.

On Sunday afternoon the Rev Du Bois H. Loux, D. D., addressed a large
 and appreciative gathering in the T. A.
 B. hall and put up q strong argument pulpit recently fn Merfden because his congregation was "enbarras ssed by Christ's social justice" which was ex- platned to them by the pastor. and which >explana ton was in no wise sat-
 tsfactory to. his flock.
 Preceding the lecture the Nightingale
 trio rendered two numbers which
 pleased the audience. Following the
 trio, Albert Boardman introduced the
 speaker of the afternoon. the Rev. Du
 Bofs H. Loux, D. D., who spoke of the
 pleasure he felt at being able to ad-
 dress the people of Norwich in order
 that he might freely talk on the plan
 of social redemption. pr. Loux spoke convincingly of Christ's attitude tow ard socialism and backed his argument
 by quotations from the scriptures.
 Jesus always saw that the wealth of
 his followers was distributed amongst
 the poor and needy and pr. Loux fur ther argued that 1t would be easier for
 a loaded camel to go through the eye of a needle than for any of the greedy rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
 The speaker showed by means or
 shart that one per cent. of the popu-
 lation own and control 54.8 per cent.
 of the wealth of the land, while Il per
 cent. own and control 32.2 per cent.
 This is not right, as the people who
 own and control wealth and production do not operate them for the common good. Dr. Loux further said that un- der the present system man high in
 politics can dicker here and dicker
 there without any fear; but this is not
 so in socialism. If any socialist who is serving the public is found to be in anywise negotiating with finance, other than in the interests of the general
 public. or who is otherwise not giving
 proper satisfaction, he is subjece to Immediate recall. Socialism means and that the principle must and will
 be recognized. The thing needed at
 the head of affairs, argued the speak CT, Is a good pure, clear conscience, and justice would then rule the land. Dr. Loux passed the remark at this
 juncture that he spoke to more men in the Crystal theater on -one Sunday than in his own church in a whole month.
 Dr. Loux says the man who steals a loaf of bread is considered a thief, the man who steals q, 900 is considered sharp. the man who steals $10,00O is considered a promoter and the man who steals $1,0o0,o00 is considered a nnancier. The money which the capi- talfst uses from the bank is socia1ized wealth, because the savings Of the de- positors go to make up the mass the capitalist draws. Hence the poor man and depositor are working for the cap italist
 Dr.. Loux talked of the six hour per day plan under the collective system, stating that nowadays there are 61 per cent. of the people who do not make ltone bit of wealth, though they may

Before the arguments are made be- fore the committee named to assess damages because of the placing of the high tension line in front of Plainfield property, a disputed point must be de- cided by Judge Greene beforS whom the petition was brought. It is claim ed by the applicants that the fee in the land of the highway is in the adjoining property while the respon- dents dispute that, claiming 1t is in the town or state.
 Nearly all of Saturday was occupied in hearing witnesses of the respon- dents. the NashawauE Power company, A. l.. Potter, Harold Lawton and w. F.

conditional upon the incorporators of the college securing funds of $1.0o0,Q0o tn addition to the $1oo.00o raised In New London and the free site. While $1.000, GOO iis named as q condi- ton, 1t is hoped that the endowment will actually be considerably greater. Since the movement started, and owing to the interest shown by neigh realize that the advantages of the col- lege will not be confined to New Lon don alone There are, of course, many benefits to be derived in a commercial way. The location of a college in New London will result in the sperlding of share of which will go to neighboring cities, Norwich included. There are also tho other benefits. such as stim- ulation of the ethical and social life and the general uplifting of the com munity, and in these also our neigh borB will share.
 .Tn the past New Londonars have taken advantage of and enjoyed the opportunities offered by your Free Academy courses, and after the cot- lege is located in New London we will be in 8 position to reciprocate. The girls can attend daily and will not have to move away from home. And, also. concert and lecture courses can easily be attended by Norwich people.
 Educational, Moral, Ethical 6enefits.
 Tn the early part of the movement conSfd derabla stress was laid on the commercial advantages, but it has been inspiring to note how this has been turned into a, side issue, and how rch on the educational, moral and ethical benefits that will follow the founding of the college.
 Success Is already assured, for we have raised $s5.000 in one week, but at this time, when the people of New Lon- don are 70 deeply stirred. wo want our sister city of Norwich to share in our work and its rewards, and, therefore, l was sent here by the executive com mittee to distribute pledge cards. It Is true that members of the campaign teams may have solicited individuals here, and may again come to Norwich to solicit. before the campaign closes, but in the main the contributions must be voluntary. Any pledges made will be doubfy appreciated, first, because we want the money, and, secondly and more especially, as an evidence of the terest that should exist between the two cities. Norwich Contributions. Pleased.
 "The announcement of the Norwich contributions already made was re- ceived with cheers and applause, and you can rest assured that any further contributions will be received in ths same hearty way.
 Pledge blanks and circulars have been left at the following places: The Dime Savinss bank, the Thames Ma tional bank George A. Davis store and The Bulletin office.
 Pledges can be mailed direct to the treasurer, A. H. Chappell, Or can bs left at The Bulletin office. If left al these places. the names and amounts will be telephoned down at noon sharI oh Monday and Tuesday and will be included in the amounts reported for thoA days. Although it is rather late we hope that those who feel willing tc contribute will do SO before Tuesday noon, as we hope to obtain the full sum of $100,00o by that time"
