Horace Jollnxen Says Stand from
 Under.
Horace Johnson writes


 With this you have forecast of weather which will be in order for days to come. There will be a local of not much force about the 22 of the pres
 ent month-February. During the coming month, March, there will take place, about the 1st of the month, that which should be termed an intermedi- ate disturbance. Such a disturbance will not be long; may be noted for a few hours from to 10. About the 11th of Marca, from that to the 18th, the planets Mars and Venus, in con junction with the moon, will have a powerful influence upon the central force of the earth. Such occurrences always create a great disturbance in the atmosphere of earth. During the time the earth will move in the quake zone of it's orbit. All hands stand from under! Impossible for me at present to locate. I have forebodings as I name Panama and San Francisco. Each weak spot: I give it up; cannot say; must take the position Miller did when he advocated the closing scenes of earth: If the vision tarry, wait"

"It is an Exquisite Joy to Look in My Mirror Now-Stuart's Calcium Waters Gave Me Back My s,
 Clear Complexion"

Stuart's Calcium Waters act direct ly upon the sweat glands of the skin, since their mission is to stIn1fl- late the excretory ducts. They do. not create precipitation, but cause the skin to breathe out vigorously, thus transforming precipitation into a, gas eouS vapor. The calcium suIphide of which these waters are composed consumes the germ poisons in the sweat glands and pores, hence the blood makes a new, smooth skin in a surprisingly short time.
 You will never be ashamed to look at yourself in a mirror, once you use Stuart's Calcium Waters. Nor will your friends give you that hinting look, as much as to say-for goodness sake, get rid of those pimples.
 There is no longer any excuse for anyone to have a face disfigured with skin eruptions, when it is so easy to. get rid of them. Simply get a box of Stuarts Calcium Waters at any drug store and take them according to directions. After a few days you will hardly recognize yourself in the mirror. The change will delight you immensely. All blemishes will dis appear.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Calci ~'r Waters at 50 cents a box. A ST sample package mailed free by dressing F. A. Stuart Co., ITS Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

WEDDING.
Thaekery-W Wells.

Frederick ". M. Thaci<ery and Miss Louise Ross Wells, a native of Wester- ", were married in this city on Tues day by Rev. H. J. Wyckoff, pastop of the Second Congregational church.
 On the wedding license the age of the groom is given as 29, his birthplace as Pittsburgh and his occupation as g. contractor in Detroit, Michigan. He is the son of Harry R. Thackery and Alice Kohn. In the case of the bride her age is given as 28, and her par erts as George F. Wells and Alice York. Her residence was given as No. 51 Boswell avenue where she told the town clerk that she had lived for a year, but inquiry at this address elicit cd the information that no one knew her there.

Nothing Improper in Relations With Mrs. Myrtle Bailey He Test6es-Went to the Ocean Beach Cottage Talk Business-She Wanted Advice About Getting Divorce, He Said.

In the trial of Attorney George Cur tis5 Morgan of New London in the su- perior court here on Wednesday, the first witness introduced by the defense was Charles A. Swanson of New Lon dor, who testified that Raymond Bailey, the husband of Myrtle Blake Bailey, who accuses Morgan, had worked in Swanson's restaurant, and Bailey s reputation is not up to par in New London.

He said that Bailey's reputation was not of the best in New London.
 Albert George Pyme of New London testified that Bailey had talked to him about the case and had told him he went to see Major Hull and told the major that he wanted to get all he cculd out of Morgan, but MT. Hull told him Morgan had nothing. Bailey ask ed him, the witness said, if he knew of any girls who had worked for Nor gan who would testify against Morgan the same as Mrs. Bailey would testify.
 On cross examination by States At terney Hull, Pyme denied that this story was 9 pure fabrication. He also said that he lived at a house with Raymond SroclSer ana a woman nam ed Miss Sylvia who was known as ''The Owl.''
 He declined to answer the question as to whether this woman was Of poor reputation, and the court instructed him that he need not answer the ques- ton if he did not see fit to do so.

place too public and Morgan suggest ed his office, but she declined. He thought he might have suggested a trip to the beach. At her suggestion he got the bottle of cocktails. There was no wood in the cottage and Nor gan went out and got driftwood. He and Mrs. Bailey wrapped bed clothing about themselves as they talked about the divorce
 Mrs. Bailey told him a long story of unhappy married life, but he said that he advised her against the di- vorce, as she and her husband were young and they could get along and be happy. At the beach Morgan and Mrs. Bailey drank very little of the cocktails as the liquor was used to make the fire burn
 He testified to seeing the police men as he came away from the cot tage.
 After returning to New London from the cottage at midnight, he and Mrs. Bailey had lunch at the OLeary res taurant and Dr. Clancy was invited to join them. After leaving the restau- rant he parted from Mrs. Bailey on Golden street and went to his room at the hotel and then to the Turkish path, because he was told Attorney smith wanbed to see him.

  adultery made by Mrs. Bailey were untrue and he never had any improper relations with her at his office or that she had liquor at his office while he was there He denied that any of Mrs. Bailey's clothing was removed at the cottage or that he had any article of her clothing in his pocket at the restaurant. Nor did he teach her to drink at his office, he said.
 Cross Examination.
 States Attorney Hull began his cross examination of Morgan by ask ing if he had Mrs. Bailey's ring and Morgan said yes and produced the ring. which was laid in as an ex- hfbit. He said he exchanged rings because Mrs. Bailey wanted to do so.
 He was questioned about buying beer for Mrs. Bailey and said he did not buy any on the Friday night before Jan. p but he did not Saturday night at the CrockeT house. He asserted that he would buy liquor and go to the beach with a woman under similar circum- stances if she desired it.
