that he believed a union of power and
strength would force business through
the legislature where a single town or
organization could not.
Mr. Cable of Bridgeport said that in
his city they had worked first on the
lines of personal application to get new
members, and that it did not work
well. Then they employed a profes-
sional solicitor, which was a great im-
provement. The treasury was kept in
good condition and the members re-
tained their interest.
Other remarks were made by the re-
mainder of'the Bridgeport delegation
who .were obliged to leave on an early
train for their homes, much to the re-
gret of the others who were preSent.

of George H. Allen.
The overturning of an oil stove at
the home of George H. Allen on Main
street, yesterday afternoon, set fire to
the parlor carpet.
Fortunately Mr. Allen was home at
the time, and succeeded in extinguish-
ing the blaze before any great amount
of damage. had been done other than to
the carpet and an ulster‘which 'he had
hastily improvtsed as a fire extinguish-
er. .
The fire .was discovered by Mr.
Allen’s children who were at play in
the room at the time, and were no
doubt the cause of it.
At the risk of being severely burned
Mr. Allen picked the stove up and
hurled it through a rear window into a
snowbank. '

Big Storm Stalled Business.
The big storm was a crusher so saith
the Boston Store in its new advertise-
ment to-day. It‘stalled the Boston
Store’s slogan “Always Busy” and put
its sales seven days behind. In order to
make up for it, this week they must sell
as much as they ordinarily do in two
weeks. Prices must do the work. Cuts
have been made in the prices of goods
in every department. Read the adv.
to-day and go there where money can
be saved.

His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, 9. promlnent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder--
ful deliverance from a, frightful death.
In telling of it he says : “ I was taken
with Typhoid Fever, that ran into
Pneumonia. My lungs became hard-
ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even
sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I
expected to soon die of Consumption,
when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery. One bottle gave great relief.
I continued to use it, and now am well
and strong; I can’t say too much 1n its
praise.” This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung trouble.
