ALLEGED THAT TWO MEN
 TRIED TO INFLUENCE JUROR
Elmer M. Chadwick and Daniel KudIik Brought in on Bench Warrant--6aiI of $1,00o Secured in Each Case.

A bench warrant was issued on Fri day by Judge Wheeler for Elmer M. Chadwick of Salem and Daniel Kud- lik of East Haddam. charged with embracery and they were brought in to court by Deputy Sheriffs Casey and Stanton and put to plea.
 Going by auto to Salem, Chadwick was arrested, and from there the of ficers went to East Haddam for Kud- lik. They were brought here soon after three o'clock, accompanied by MT. Chadwicks mother and Mir. Kud- lik's wife, who furnished bonds for their appearance in court in the sum of $1.00O each.
 The information alleges that during the trial of the case of Joseph Musial vs. Daniel Kudlik in this city, Elmer M. Chadwick of Salem and Daniel Kudlik of East Haddam on December 23, during continuance of action, did corruptly, maliciously and improperly attempt to influence Albert Fargo of Salem to use his influence with the jury for anw favorable to the defend ant in the civil action.
 The accused entered pleas of not guilty. In fixing the bond Judge Wheeler said that such cases are get ting before the court frequently. and not until recently. in all the 4S years of his experience. had he known of such Offenses.
 Albert Fargo, who. it is alleged. they attempted to influence, was one of the jury trying the case. When the facts were presented to the court Judge Wheeler dismissed the case as a mistrial Chadwick appeared in the civil action as an adviser of MT. Kudlik and assisted his attorney dur ing the trial as long as it lasted.

the American Thermos Bottle company Of New York, provided $75OO0 is se- cured.
 Another busy day was put in by the members of the committee engaged in soliciting contributions to the fund of T5,O00 necessary to bring here the American Thermos Bottle company of New York. There were but two who signed their names to the subscrip- tion paper, but the committee found number who stated that they are go- ing to sign and will do so in few days. The committee is much sncour- aged by the prospects and do not con slider that the fact of getting but two on Friday means & lack of interest, as that will more than be made up in d few days.
 The committee feels that their num- Der should be increased, however, and this well probably be done at the meet ing of the Board of Trade on Monday evening. which promises to be the largest attended in a long time,
 President HaViland's Letter.
 The following letter has been issued by President Haviland of the board of trade:
 Men of Norwich: You are earnestly urged and cordially invited to be pres ent ct a meeting to be held under the auspices of the board of trade on Monday evening. January 22, in the Buckingham Memorial rooms at D. m.
 You will then be presented with the proposal of the Thermos Bottle com pany of New York, to locate in our city. Same will be open for discus sion and explanations In full made.
 This is a matter of such import ance, and the possibility of securing su large a concern employing so many desirable people, that l feel we should give the matter earnest thought. We aR feel the need of additional busi- ness and an increase of manufactur- ing interests. Now. when it is possi bie to locate a firm of such magnitude here, it is hoped that it shall not be our fault if they do not come to us.
 Sister cities are spending large amounts of money for sidewalks and streets, and much as we would like to have them, would it not be wis dom to wait a little longer for them, using our money to locate the indus try here, who will not only bTing thousands of people to us, banking hundreds of thousands of dollars here, but increase cur grand list, which will help us later in securing civic inn provements?

GRAND LIST INCREASED S5S, ,2II
Board of Assessors Have Completed Their Work Leaving the Total taxable Property $17, ,367 of the ln creases and Losses For the YearExempt List Increased by $300O0.

As the result of the work of the phy chairman, Michael J. Curran, clerk, and J. J. Donovan, who com pleted their duties and signed the book on Friday, the grand list of the town of Norwich has been increased by s59,211.
 The results show that the total is l7367,1S0, while the assessors last year left it at $17.307.96S. The resi- dent property list figures s15,934 BPS, and the nonresident $1,432.S57. The amount of property exempt because 1t is owned by soldiers is $145,723, and for the blind the exemption is $11,T
 The board was very particular about the lists this year. They investigated cases whe-e complaints were made concerning assessments and looked tEe town over in general Us to the taxation of new property, but they made no attempt at revaluation in any partic- ular section.
 Much the same experience as in past years was experienced by the board during their three months and a half session, shey having signed the book one day ahead of the last years board.
 Many Wanted Reductions.
 There were many lists received for a less amount than the property had previously been taxed for, and had such lists been accepted there would have been a reduction in the grand list Of about $o00,000 from last year and tax levied at the last annual town meeting would not have been sufficient to have met the estimated receipts from that source.
 The months of October, November and December required the entire time of the board in receiving the lists, filling out the incomplete ones and attending to the many transfers O. property, So that the time for inves- tigating the many grievances present ed was limited. The dissatisfied ones now have an opportunity to confer with the board of relief.
 The number of lists has increased but many Of them are for small amounts, while several which were large lists in the past have been re- duced this year fur various causes.
 Will Have Card System.
 The board desires to have an equal ity of taxation Is much as possible and during the present year expects tC establish q system by which the prop erty of each street and locality may be readily looked up, and by that means have it at their command very quickly. A card system has been se- cured for carrying this out. The board finds that there is much indifference on the part of some taxpayers who will not give in a list or make any ex- plantations, preferring to leave it tC others not familiar with the property to assess if. The board is in session throughout the year and any who art not satisfied with the assessment car meet the board at any time durirl the year relative to the same and no be required to wait until the timt comes around for handing in the nex' list. This would give the board plen' ty of time for investigation.

SOME CAN But Student Had to Cult.

Some people are apparently immune to tea and coffee poisoning-if you are not, Nature will tell you so in the ail- ments she sends as warnings. And when you get warning. heed it or you get hurt; sure. A young college student writes from New York:
 T had been told frequently that cof- fee was injurious to me-" (tea is just as bad) and if I had not been told, the almost constant headaches with which l began to suffer after using it for several years, the state of lethar- gic mentality which gradually came upon me to hinder me in my studies, the general lassitude and indisposition to any sort of effort which possessed me, ought to have been sufficient warn ing.
 But I disregarded them till my physi- elan told me a few months ago that must give up coffee or quit college. could hesitate no longer, and at once abandoned coffee.
 "On the advice of friend I began to drink Postum, and rejoice to tell you that with the drue in coffee" (the same g-caffeine-is found in teal removed and the healthful properties of Postum in its place I was soon re- lieved of all my ailments.
 The headaches and nervousness dis appeared entirely strength came back to me, and my complexion which had been very, very bad, cleared up beauti- fully.
