RICHMOND AND THE ELECTION.

Where viii the God-fearing men OF this city stand
on the e2d ef September There is no question
az to what Is the duty Of the city. She owes
her prosperity aud her wealth to her country
clients She relies them for the most that
she has and is. Those clients are practically
unanimous In their expression OF sentiment WIZ
Richmond fellow tho dangerous lead OF those
who are contending that she should regard her
self as merely q separate unit devoid Of conu9f~
don with all other localities, separated from them
hy the bar Of the saloon?
The wet Interests are making desperate effort
to carry Richmond Wet Why? because they
hope to overcome the na3ortties of the country
districts? No. Because they age laying the way
for the notification Of the prohibition law In
this city If such may be possible. Because they
want TO make 1t easy for the speakeasy 10

passage Of the law,
The deliberate efforts that being made TO
stampede Richmond In the interest Of the saloon
reflect seriously On the character OF the Christian
manhood Of this city Does anybody doubt that
every saloon man will be actively at work on
election day: that every saloon element In the
city will be lined up for the aaloon just as so
many OF them have been at work undermining
tie foundations Of yirginias clean electorate
already?
Their il 70 doubt that Virginia will 90 dry. The

say that there is need for them to vote dry
In Richmond when there will be so large
majority for the cause elsewhere Brother. you
were never more mistaken. There Ia no surer
way OF driving Richmond into the hands of Law
rulliaers who have already made their threats be
heard than by refraining from casting that dry
Richmond vote on September ED

herself to be law-abiding Virginia Is going dry.
Where will Richmond standa She has already
lost much by stubbornly insisting that she is a
Law unto herself and that she will not be denied
the right Of sending into other localities that
which debases and destroys. She has lost much
b. the attacks made In her name on cities and
citizens OF other States She can lose more by
tlindly persisting In opposing the manifest will
Of the State Of Virginia and engaging in pro-
cess Of multiplying the law of the State wiz you
be found on the side OF lawabidlng citizens or

SUPERIOR COURT
 HAD SHORT SESSION. Liqttie Business to Take Its Time Next Session on Friday.

The superior court, with Judge Joel H. Reed on the bench, came in at New London Tuesday morning to consider three matters, which occupied only a few minutes.
 J. E. Perkins of North Stonington was granted a divorce from Martha McDermott Perkins of Cambridge, Mass, on the grounds of desertion. An allegation objected to in the complaint was withdrawn. The court made no order regarding custody.
 In the case of Annie w. Coggeshail vs. William Coggeshall, judgment was given by stipulation. This was for $2,670 with costs, the amount to which alimony of $1,500 decreed in December 1900, had grown with interest.
 The case of William Collins vs. AL exander M. Purdy, which was to have been tried Tuesday, was especially as signed for Thursday, Feb. 19, on ac- count of the illness of the plaintiff
 The court was informed that the di- vorce case of Rebecca S. Elionsky vs Iman Elionsky, which was assigned for trial for Wednesday, would furnish no business.
 Then Judge Reed had court adjourn ed till 10 o'clock this morning, but i. will then be adjourned at once to Fri day morning.

street. Swedberg had been drinking and he did not want to stay to see the show, but left his friends and went outside. That was the last they ever saw of him. and they had never been able to get any track of him. They told the coroner that they had notified the police of the disappearance of the man, but the Norwich police depart ment said Tuesday evening that they had heard nothing of the disappearance of the Plainfeld man.
 From all indications the coroner con cluded that Swedberg probably walked down along the river front somewhere, fell into the water and was drowned.
 In speaking of the case Tuesday evening. the coroner said that the finding of the body in the part of the river where it was picked up strength ened the belief which he had always held that Miss Kate Maher, who was drowned some time before this in No vember, got into the river in this city. just as she had threatened she would do. and not from the vicinity of Mo- began. as might have appeared from some of the incidents developing around the time of Miss Maher's dis appearance.
 Carl Swedberg leaves a wife and six children in Sweden. He was a weav- CT by occupation. The body is to be buried in Yantic cemetery.

VERY FEW NOTEHOLDERS
 OPPOSE TIME EXTENSION
Boston & Maine Expects to Be Able
 to Take Care of Them by June 2.

New York, Feb. 3.-A very large per- centage of the owners of the S10, o. 900 of Boston 6 Maine Railroad com pany's one year five per cent. notes, which matured today, have agreed to grant an extension of payment until June ? according to Treasurer Her bert E. Fisher, who spent the day at the offices of J. P. Morgan and com pany, consulting with local holders of the notes.
 At the close of the day 1t was stated that all but very small fraction of the noteholders had agreed to the ex- tension and that those who held out were only awaiting action by the di- rectors of Boston & Maine
 The time fixed for the extension, June 2, coincides with the maturity of $17.oo0,0O0 of six per cent Bos- ton and Maine notes. By that time it is hoped to have in operation a comprehensive reorganization plan, which will not only take care Of the notes, but definitely define the roads status as well
 It is also expected that before the $17,000,000 note issue natures, plans will have been devised for the com plete severance of the Boston & Maine from the New York, New Haven & Hartford system.

 Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from 1n- active bowels and liver. pr. Edwa1ds a weIl-known physician in Ohio, per- fected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels. which he gave to his patients for years.
 pr.

TWO CAN PUSH
 HARDER THAN ONE

That is. literally true when both are pushing in the same direction.
 It clearly states the case re- garding the new idea of CO., operative work between dealer and manufacturer for the push ing of goods advertised in the newspapers.
 In this case both are pushing in the same direction towards increased sales and better ser vice to the consumer.
 It is the most practical mer- chandising idea that has been suggested in half a century great power peculiar to the newspapers of this country as a sales producing agency.
 Advertisers long ago realized that the newspapers were the surest and most efficient adver- Using medium.
 But they did not begin to reach the great depths of pro- ductiveness which the news papers afforded, until the possi- bilities of cooperative cam paigning became apparent.
 This year more articles of na- tional reputation will be adver- tised in the newspapers than ever before, and in nearly every instance this will be backed up by earnest exploitation on the part of the local merchants.
 Any manufacturer or mer- chant interested in this CO., operative work is invited to ad- dress the American Newspaper Publishers Association, Bureau of Advertising, World Building, New York City.
