Of candidates which had been made

an opportunity to break up the

next logical development Is the pass

natural outcome will be the pre-pre-

Obituary
ELLEN M. COLE

Ellen NJ. Cole, wife of Thomas W. Cole, died at her home in East Green wich, R. l., early Wednesday morn- ing, Feb. l9th, aged 65 years. Funeral services were held from the home and the body was brought to this city Fri. day for burial in Grove street ceme- tery. Besides her husband Mrs. Cole is survived by two sons and one daugh- ter. One son, Fred NJ, resides in this city, the other two children living in Providence.
 Mrs. Cole was born in East Putnam, the daughter of George and Maria Green. While living there she was married. About thirty-two years ago they had charge of the Putnam Town Farm. They went from there to Bal louville where Mir. Cole took charge of the Attawaugan Company's farm. After remaining there eight or nine years they went to take charge Of the East Greenwich asylum and later the Warwick asylum. They returned to Putnam in 1899 and MT. Cole conduct ed a grain business with his son. In 1906 they returned to East Greenwich where they have since resided.
 Mrs. Cole was an estimable Chris tian woman. She was a member of the Methodist church and took an ac- tive part in church work. She was of  a most cheerful disposition and always looked upon the bright side of things and was able to smile even in adver- sity. She had peculiar faculty for getting along with and managing pa tients with diseased minds and after leaving the asylum she took patient or two as an accommodation. She had been in poor health for year but had been up and about until a very short time before her death which was caus- ed by heart trouble. She had wide circle of acquaintances and friends in this section.

Killed by Train

Gustav Jacob, 40, residence un- known, was Instantly killed by being run over by the New York express last Thursday afternoon. The acci- dent happened near the railroad bridge at Meehanicsville. The body was bad ly mangled, the face was crushed to an indistinguishable mass, arms and legs severed and ches. crushed in.
 Neither the engineer or the fireman of the train that killed the man knew 1t at the time. When the engineer was oiling his engine at the station here at 3.27 he rounded the front of it and saw the pilot was covered with blood He notified Station Agent Baldwin of the discovery and he im- mediately telegraphed stations along the line between here and Blackstone, the train's last stop, to see if body had been found. shortly afterward the crew of freight following the ex- press reported seeing body near the bridge at Mechanicsville.
 The agent summoned the switcher and he, with the medical examiner, sheriff and a representative of an un- dertaker, went up to the place where the body lay. It was found in the condition stated above. A gold-filled watch found on the body had stopped at 3:17 A book in q pocket contained an address in Webster and also the ad- dress of Box l62, Putnam. At the 10 cal post office it was stated that the box there had been given up in Janu- ary. A few people seem to remember the man but none know anything about him.
 A newspaper reporter in Webster up by the police in that place with frozen feet. He was given first aid at the emergency room at the police sta ton and started for this city to enter the hospital He appeared at the in- stitution Wednesday in an intoxicated condition and was not admitted. Thursday he was seen about the streets acting queerly and probably started up the track to go to Mechanicsville where he had previously worked. He had stated in Webster that he had a wife and family in Philadelphia.
 The body was taken in charge by Undertaken Leon Walker of North Grosvenordale and being unclaimed and the whereabouts of relatives being unknown it was buried by the town Monday.

Boy Drowned in River

John Morris Child, the 5-year old boy of John Child and wife, Chapel street. was drowned in the Quinebaug river about o'clock Wednesday after noon.
 The lad and playmate were at play m the thin ice in a cove near the old Morse ball ground when the ice broke and the boy sank from view in the cold icy water of the river about ten feet from shore. No one but the little fellow with him saw the accident and he was unable to do anything but run home to give the alarm. When help arrived it was too late.
 Timothy Sullivan was the first to reach the scene and found the little body floating in the water and rescued if. After the medical examiner had given permission for it's removal, the father. who had been summoned from Hammond Knowlton X Co.'s silk mill, carried it to the home on Chapel street. This is the first drowning accident in this city in long time. Captain Mur- ray has often warned the little fellows that seemed possessed to risk their lives on the treacherous ice, that they should not do it.

Anti.M0rm0n Lecture

There was a good number attend ed the Congregational church Sun day evening to listen to Mrs. Louie E. Britain ,anti-mormon lecturer, herself an ex-mormon. The speaker represented the Massachusetts Coun- cil of Patriotic Service with head quarters in Boston.
 Mrs. Britain said that nine out of ten mormon women would renounce the faith if they knew how. She said mormonism is a secret religious organization. Women accept only the initiatory degree and it seems sweet and good but as they go on they find it all bitter, poisonous and corrupt, but they go so far it is al most impossible to get out. The el- ders say that they believe in the King James version of the bible which is true but their reading of it is 80 diff ferent that it changes the entire sto- ry. The bible to them is a history of the gods to the ancient American people. This is the mormon bible and the Pearl of Great Price is an auxiliary book of mormon secrets. The mormon point of view is only given to those who have gone through the temple. Only those who have taken temple oaths know what this is One oath is to the mormon church another is against any that are overthrowing trying to overthrow or working against the faith.
 There are seven or eight hundred mormons in Massachusetts. A hun dred elders are working in and around greater Boston An elder is every male member of the mormon church over 16 or IT years old. There are annually seven or eight hundred brought from foreign lands. In this country there is one mormon to ey- cry 25 christians.
 The speaker said she came to this section because the elders have been stationed nearby. She pointed out the dangers from their work among young girls. Even in the schools they have their workers. She cited instances of how they work their way into families who at first do not suspect that they are associatlng with or harboring members Of the sect who come in the guise or relig- ious missionaries. She warned those present that they must be ever watchful to protect the community from the missionaries of the mormon church and said that the most re- yolting practices were still carried on by the sect.
 In connection with the above the following from a county paper IS of interest
 Two Mormon missionaries, Elder Alma P. Clark and Elder George C.. Brinkerhoff, of Thurber, Utah, both said to be young and good looking, are working in Connecticut
