Room as Bridgeport Murder
Trial Is Resumed.

BRIDGEPORT. March I5.-Fashion-
ably gowned women were among the
throng which today attended the trial
of Mrs. Helen Nj. Angle for alleged

usual proportions.
Mrs. Angle was keyed up for the
ordeal. Although mucn recovered from
nervousness which followed her col
lapse in court twice since the trial
opened March 3, her counsel feared
most of all an attack of hysteria while
under cross-examination.
A few witnesses were in readiness
before Mrs. Angles examination was
scheduled. The state recalled Mrs
Klahre. police matron OF Stamford tc

Owns Marion Island

Marion Island was rediscovered the
other day, when the owner, Mrs. Ma
rion Fowler of Palo Alto, Cal, was
taken to the isle beautiful by Judge
A. b. Curtis and r. J. Price in the
latter's cruiser launch Spray. The
island, formerly owned by Mrs. Fow-
ler's father, the late j. c. Hall, has
been in the family about 40 years and
has been owned by Mrs. Fowler since
the death of her father 25 years ago.
1t had been bought by him as a pres
ent and keepsake for her and was
named in her honor, but during all
these years she had never seen the
place.
During her recent visit here, in
company with Mrs. Tower of Ionia,
and Mrs. Carpenter of Chicago, she
expressed desire to visit her island
and Mr.. Curtis promptly arranged for
an afternoon trip for the party. Mrs.
Foyler was agreeably surprised at the
scenic beauty of her possession and
its ultimate possibilities and advan-
tages for Traverse City. In the morn
ing the party had taken an automo-
bile drive out to Old Mission and Mrs.
Fowler was astonished at the natural
beauties and agricultural development
of the country traversed and the days
trips formed one of the most pleas
ing incidents of her visit in the middle
west.

HERES new VIG0R FOR
OVERWORkED STOMACHS

Wortley and French, the popular
druggists, have been in the drug bust
ness long enough to have their own
opinion of the best way of selling
medicines. They say the plan adopted
by Mi-o-na, the great dyspepsia rem
edy, is the fairest they have ever
heard of. They don't believe that a
medicine ought to be paid for unless
it does the user some good. And
Mi-o-na is sold under a positive guar
antee to relieve dyspepsia or to re-
fund the money. You simply leave
so cents on deposit with Wortley &
French and if, after you have used the
box of Mi-o-na you decide that it has
done you no good, all you have to do
is to tell them so and they will return
your money.
Hundreds of people have been re-
lieved of stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy. 1t is not
simply a food digester; it is a medi-
cine that puts all of the digestive
organs into normal condition and
gives ruddy, glowing, vigorous health.
A change for the better will be seen
after the first few doses Of Mi-o-na,
and it continued use will soon give the
power to eat anything at any time
and not suffer distress afterward. Use
Mi-o-na and see how much more there
is in life.-adv.

Resident members of the county
committee, meeting with the local adj
visory board at the Congregational
church last evening, organized a Y.
NJ. C. A. society for Portland with
Supt. j. G.. Gourlay, of the Portland
schools, as president, Henry H. Smith
as vice-pesident, Emil c. Herolz as
recording secretary, Peter M. Robert
son as corresponding secretary and
Peter NJ. Grieve as treasurer. The
organization was the outgrowth of a
meeting held in the parlors of the
Baptist church the evening previous,
when religious problems confront
ing Portland as a community were
discussed by the 35 townsmen pres
ent.
Tuesday evenings meeting followed
a banquet served in the Baptist par
lors at $780, Lorenzo Weber presid-
ed over the gathering. Out-of- town
speakers who urged the formation of
a local Y. NJ. G. A. were DR.. George
p. Winchell, Judge Montgomery Web
ster and County Secretary Angel, all
of Ionia. The principal address of
the evening, which was an inspiration
in every sense of the term, was de-
livered by G. l.. Rowe, state county
work secretary. The gathering wound
up in general discussion which was
just what had been hoped for, and the
formation of local society the fol-
lowing evening was the gratifying
out-growth.
Plans for the year were extensively
gone over at the meeting Wednesday
night and it is safe to predict that
Portland is about to pass through an
era of religious and social uplift un-
paralleled in the towns history.
