Not So Strange After All.

You may think it strange that so many people are cured of stomach trouble by Chamberlain's Tablets. You would not, however. if you should give them a trial. They strengthen and invigorate the stomach and enable it to perform it's functions naturally. Mrs. Rosie Rish, Wabash, Ind , writes, Nothing did me the least good until l began using Chamber lain's Tablets. It is decidedly the best medicine for stomach trouble l have ever used. /" For sale by all dealers

HAS BIG AMOUNT TO
 SPEND IN NEW LONDON
New Haven Road to Start With $30o,-
 900 in Improvements.

The extensive improvements which the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company is to make in New London and Groton, involving the expenditure of several million dollars, will be commenced immediately. Bids for the construction of the new line of railroad from Hallam street to tine bank, of the Thames river at the point of contact with the new bridge were submitted to the company's office in New Haven Friday, and the contract will be awarded at once. It is stated that for the construction of this DOT ton of the Improvements and the ac- quisition of property incidental there to the directors have appropriated a sum in excess of $300,000.
 Real Estate Agent A. H. Ryder of the New Haven road has been in New London for the past two days carrying on negotiations with property owners in East New London whose holdings it is desired toNacquire.
 Property Owners Stirred Up.
 The activities of the railroads agen-s
 has caused a furore of excitement
 among interested property owners in that section of the city.
 Property valuation has increased
 rapidly since the beginning of the mammoth pier. It is now generally admitted by those conversant with the projects in hand that East New Lon OO1 1S OSSllUSu IO become the 1nQuS- trial center of that city. Plans are | already under way for the creation Of | an immense industrial area on the land l which is owned by the state of Con | necticut north of the present railroad l bridge. When the reclamation of sup- merged territory is completed the com 1 monWealth will be the possessor of 39
 acres of land of the greatest value for | purposes of manufacturing
 I Three manufacturing concerns out side the city of New London have aI-
 ready laid plans for the acquisition of
 real estate in the Winthrop Neck vi l cinity.5 One of these is a manufactures
 or machinery and the products of the other concerns are so we'll known that l they are not disclosed for fear of lp | setting their present plans. One of the l largest New London concerns is also l seriously considering removal from it's
 present location to East New London.
 A man who is closely in touch with l the affairs of the New Haven road said
 Friday that in connection with the l building of the new railroad bridge and I the other improvements which .ne
 company had already announced its in l tention of making, there is another
 change contemplated in the center of l the city. This. he stated is the erec- I tfon of a new station north of the pres | ent union station, probably in the vii | c1n1ty of Atlantic and Potter streets | He said that it is the ultimate intention tof the company to abandon the present l station and to effect an exchange of I land with the city, if possible. by which I the space occupied by the old depot | would be thrown into the Parade and | other property taken in lie uthereof in | the prospective new site.
