 It was the report of the financial sec retary that the income from the dues for the month of January was the largest of any month for some time. The committee on piano was authoriz- ed to purchase a new one, which will soon be installed.

NO CLUE VET TO CRAVE ROBBERS
Erie Cemetery officials Offer $1,ooo Reward for Return of Mrs. Mccoi- Ium's Body.

Erie, Pa. Feb 9.-A search of "A hours has failed to uncover a single clue. to the identity of the ghouls who some time during the past four days desecrated the mausoleum in the Erie cemetery of the late Congressman Will liam L. Scott, millionaire railroad man, and carried away the body sof his sis ter-i1-iaw, Mrs. Anna M. McColium. The police and members of the family refuse to discuss the case.
 Late tonight the police found a hole in the east side of the fence and about 500 feet from the vault. Several iron pickets had been torn away and the womail's body is believed to have been removed through this opening. A thor ough search of the Italian settlement in the vicinity of the cemetery pro- duced nothing, while not a trace of the body was found at any of the railroad stations.
 An Investigation of the vault had shown conciusively that the ghouls were persons familiar with the work undertaken. When the copper plates in front of the crypts were torn away a sharp hooked instrument was run inth the crypt and the name plates were pulled from the caskets. This has led to the belief that the robbers were looking for the casket of Mrs. McCullom. Besides her body there were five others in the vault and the caskets of all had been tempered with.
 The head of 8 Pittsburg detective agency and a number of assistants ar rived here tonight. They visited the home of Charles H. Strong. a son-in- : law of MT. Scott and later inspected the mausoleum. No statement was forthcoming, however.
 It is reported tonight that the Strong family is contemplating the announce ment of large reward for the recov cry of Mrs. McCullom's body. During the day the cemetery officials offered a reward of $1,000.

After having learned that there was a deadlock In the matter of the town paying the tuition of the pupils at the Free Academy, in accordance with the vote of the town last year at the an nual meeting, inasmttch as the trustees of the Academy decided to receive tf1e $5,500 named in the appropriation or nothing, the Principals' club, which had started the ma tier, named a special committee to consider the matter.

TYLER cRUTTENDEN
 ON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Elected at Mckinley Association Din- ner at Hartford-J. olin Howe Sec refarv

In speaking for the state of Connec- ticut at the eighth annual dinner of the Connecticut Mckinley association, at Hartford, Thursday night, Lieut. Governor Blakeslee took occasion to come out against the pending reciproc- ity treaty with Canada. He made an earnest plea for the protection of the Connecticut farmer, and described the Connecticut farms as the finest in the world. T believe he said, that we should exercise much care before we take action which may possibly be to the disadvantage of the Connecticut farmer and his neighbors in the New England states. The tariff has little to do with the high cost of living which we hear agitated so much in these days. Take off the duty on foodstuffs and household commodities and it seems to me we put the New England farmer where we decidedly do not want to put him." He illustrated with an experience of his own in buying hay from Boston broker at price less than he could buy it in the state. He found later that the hay came from Canada and gave figures to show that the Canadian farmer got so lit- tie for his hay that it would be ridicu- lous for the Connecticut farmer to try to compete with him. He also men toned the fact that chickens are sell ing in Canada for eight cents a pound.
 The Rev. W. E. Fennell of Hartford took to task the muck rakers' in his remarks on the ethics of McKinley's life. The politics of Connecticut and this nation, he said, "are in the main honest. I say this from the stand point of the preacher who has made some study of political questions. haven't much use for the muck raker. We have had too much of that sort of thing recently and they go off in wrong directions. When will the mag O 1i yxrifn crnf 1cyh r,f Il1xy iy,rr into this sort of thing? We are tired of it, and we want a new conception of the fact that our men at heart be- lieve in the high moral ethics of so- ciety. Shame on the man who says that politics are too corrupt for him to engage in.''
 Ex-M Mayor Henney of Hartford, the retiring president of the association, was toaStmaster and in his opening remarks eulogized President Mckinley as a man who had to the world an ex- ample of work faithfully performed and duty well done. He besought his hear CTS to remember that they were cit- izens before they were politicians.
 Other speakers were Rev. Calvin Goddard of Salisbury, ex-Goy.. F. B. Weeks, Attorney General John Light and Harry l. Norton of the Hartford Courant.
 The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Louis A. Platt. Waterbury; secretary, J. Olin Howe. Waterbury; treasurer, Major A. E. Rice, Waterbury. The executive committee was selected as follows: John P. Elton, Waterbury; B. M. Holden Hartford; Dr. G. H. Knight, Salisbury; J. P. King, Bridgeport; J. A. Shea, Willimantic; c. Daniel Way, Gilead; c. B. Frisbie, Chatham, and Tyler Cruttenden. Norwich.

CANADIAN LEADERS DIVIDED.
Parliament Ready to Pass Reeiprocit, Measure-Conservati Stick te British Markets.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. s.--lThe Canadian house today began the debate on the reciprocity agreement with the United States. The great interest in the measure was indicated by galleries crowded with spectators and an un- usually large attendance of members. More interest than emotion was shown. Little applause was heard, but the closest attention was given to the words of the speakers and there was evidently the keenest desire to hear and weigh all the views expressed.
 The features of the discussion were 0 declaration by Finance Minister Fielding that parliament should put through the measure without a delay with provision that it should come into force as soon as the United States had taken favorable action; and . dec- laration for the opposition by Mir. Bor- den, the conservative leader that after a forty years struggle In development Canada had reached s position where reciprocity and increased trade with the United States were no longer de- sirable, but she should continue to seek the British markets with her surplus products.

DoI1|uEIljby Iouf Meals?
One Of the Most lnportant Questions to csnsidsr in the seArch for
 Happiness and Health.

The turning question to you is, 'sAre you getting out of life all the pleas ssirs and the. llea4th you are en- titled tt? O?', If not, why not?
 No matter whether every organ and member of your body is in a sound state of health and strength if your stomach is in any way disordered, you are not going to be yourself You are going to be worried. out of sorts, nervous or sililen individual, whose actions will reflect your condition in side, and people will naturally avoid you.
 cheerful, and unless you are cheerful and smile. at least occasfonaHy, you will have few friends, fewer opportun- fties, no success defeated by dyspep- sia and a bad stomach.
 A good and thorough digestion has a quick, w0nderful& reaction upon the brain. You must have noticed it.many as intimately connected as q needle and it's thread, one can hardly be used to advantage without the other If your stomach is slow and lazy in di- gesting your food, it will produce at once slow, lazy and cloudy influence upon your brain Mark it! If your stomach has absolutely duit work, and fermentation is poisoning your vitttls as a result, surely your brain is going to be sluggish and correspondingly depressed. No one need tell you that.
 But why continue to suffer all the mfssries and tornients th2t st disor- dered stomach brings you?
 If your stomach can not digest your food what will? Where's the relief? ? Where's the cure?
 Stuaft's Dyspepsia Tablets are the relief and cure. Why? Because, as all stomach troubles arise from in- digestion and because one ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is able to thoroughly and completely digest 3,000 grains of any kind of food. doesn't 1t stand to reason that these little Dyspepsia Tablets are going to digest all the food and whatever food you put into your stomach? Science nowadays can digest food without hay ing to use the stomach for it. And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the re- suit of this scientific discovery. They digest. and digest thoroughly and we'll, anything and everything you eat.
 So, if your stomach refuses to work or can't work, and you suffer from eructations b1oat. brash, fermentation. biliousness. sour stomach. heartburn, irritation, indigestion, or dyspepsia of whatever form. just take one or two the difference. It doesn't cost you much to prove it. Then you can eat all you want, what you want, when ever you want, if you use these tab lets. and you can look the whole world in the face with a beaming eye and you will have a cheerful spirit, a pleasant face. vigorous body and a clear mind and memory and everythine will look and taste delicious to you That's life

LINCOLN AVENUE AND
 WASHINGTON ST. RESIDENTS
Are Decidedly Opposed to the Placing of Electric Line in Those Streets Will Oppose 1t at Legislature.

There has been a thorough canvass among the residents of Washington street, Lincoln avenue and Oneco streets in regard to their opinion in concerning the petition of the Norwich, Colchester and Hartford Traction Co. for permission from the legislature to lay their tracks into the city by way of Sherman street, Oneco street, Lin coin avenue and Washington street. With the exception of residents of low CT Washington street there is an. al- most united stand against the grant, ing of the desired privilege, the oppo- sition being not to the road or it's coming into the city, but against the using of these residential streets for an electric road which is not needed in those sections according to the claim of the residents.
 This week the company sent letters to the residents asking their opinion and reasons for opposing the granting of such a charter. Residents on Wash ingtOn street north of Broad street and those in Lincoln avenue, with very few exceptions, are opposed to it and matter before the legislative commit tee The strenuous opposition was made known to the company some time ago. The residents of Lincoln avenue feel that they have excellent service at the present time from the wish to have the purely residential section covered with network of cleo tric lines. and it is well known that from Broad street north in Washing ton street to Lincoln avenue, where it is proposed to lay the track, that it is one of the choicest sections of the city.
 Nearly all the residents of Lincoln avenue and Oneco street have signed a remonstrance against the petition and will make an aggressive fight to have the plan defeated IL is said that one resident of Lincoln avenue favors it.
 The use of the tracks of the exist ing line or the entrance to the city by the West Side will not be opposed.

SULZER GAINS A VOTE
 IN SENATORIAL CONTEST
Sheehan Gives No Signs Of Withdraw
 ing from New York Deadlock.

Albany, N. Y. Feb s.-Another armed truce until Monday has been declared in the United States sena- torial fight. All the leaders except Charles E. Murphy, and most of the legislators. have returned to their homes for the weekend, leaving the situation to simmer. Some of the members went so far as to arrange to be away until Tuesday, confident that nothing will happen in the meantime to break the deadlock.
 The twentieth joint ballot today de- veloped but one change-Represent tive William Suizer gained one vote.
 William F. Sheehan has given no indication of his intention to with draw from the contest; MT. Murphy says he sees no reason for deserting the caucus candidate and the irsur- gents are adamant in the opposition, a combination which promises to con- tinue the deadlock indefinitely.
