The | meeting opened with a roll call, the members answering with a saying of the famous humorist. Rev. S. A. Fiske then gave the his- tory of Twain’s life -and an estimate of him as a writer, humorist and philosopher together with anecdotes concerning him. Mrs. B. K.

Plainville New e —— e S HART FAVORS TEN VEAR AGREEMENT Believes Town Should Take Ad- vantage of Lighting Go.'s Offer SAVING OF -OVER 81,400 Two of Towl’s Selectman Said to Be Attracted by Low Rate Offer for Long Contract—Conlon May Bc Special Constable - Believing that the town can accom- plish an annual saving worth while by making a ten year contract with the United Electric Light and Water company for street lighting, William C. Hart, democratic member of the board of selectmen, has decided to favor the long time agreement rather than a five year renewal by which the only concession which Plainville will gain is an increased candle power in the lamps in use, ‘While the matter of renewing the contract does not rest entirely with the board of selectmen, the voters will doubtless be guided largely by their recommendations and the re- port which Mr. Johnson and his as- sociates will present at the special town meeting to be held about De- cember 15 will have considerable weight in deciding the question. The company has agreed to re- duce the price of each light from $20 to $19, providing the town will make a ten year contract. There will prob- ably be over 130 lights in use by mid- winter, and Selectman Hart figures that the saving for ten years will exceed $1,400, He argues that the streets will have to be illuminated no matter what means are employed and in view of the company’s agreeing to give the town the benefit of any im- provements that may be patented during the life of the contract, he believes no special advantage will be found in making a five year arrange- ment. C. H. Calor, republican member of the board, is said to be personally satisfied with a ten year contract. W. J. Johnson, the chairman, however, is of the opinion that the agreement should not be in force for over five yvears. He argues that within the next ten conditions may make it poss - the town to get better rates after the five vear agree- ment expires and for that reason he does not consider it wise to bind se- lectmen for an entire decade, even Appointed with a reduction in the price of fl’\ev lights as an inducement. The matter will be threshed out by the voters next month. The select- men have been unable to get any very inviting promises from representa- tives of the company, although they still hope to get offers of concessions before the time newing the contract arrives May Swear in Conlon. The appointment of John E. Con- lon as a special constable is being seriously considered by the board of selectmen, and at the meeting on Thursday night it is probable that a vote will be taken to restore to him the shield which he lost by reason of the republicans to renominate him at the caucus preceding the town election. Conlon is janitor of the town build- ing and in attempting to keep order while entertainments, fairs, etc., are in progress he naturally experiences more trouble handling disturbers than would be his portion if He had authority as a policeman. For a number of years Conlon served as a constable, but the powers that be in the republican ranks didn't seem to be enthusiastic over him and he was not renominated. Two of the constables elected in October have failed to qualify and the town now has but five officers, none of whom are near the center during the day time. Conlon’s ap- pointment would probably cause but little, if any, objection, anq it is like- 1y that he will be named by the se- lectmen. Many Attend Funeral.

In “Papc’s Diapepsin” neutralizes acids in stomach and starts digestion. Take your sour, out-of-order stom- ach—or maybe you call it indiges- matter—take your stomach right with you to your pharmacist and ask him to open a 50-cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain triangule and see if trace of your former misery. The correct name for your trouble is food fermentation—acid stomach —food souring; the digestive organs become weak, there is lack of gastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleepless- ness, belching of gas, bilousness, sick headache ,nervousness, dizziness or many other similar symptoms. If your appetite is fickle, and noth- ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that -at the bottom of all this there is but one cause—fermen- tation of undigested food. Prove to yourself in five minutes that your stomach is as good as any; that there is nothing really wrong. Stop this fermentation and begin eat- ing what you want without fear of discomfort or misery. , Almost instant rellef is waiting for you- It is merely a matter of how soon you take a little Diapepsin, ——————— morning.

While there is a country-wide agitation for permanent pavement and other improvements in highways, par- ticularly those connecting towns, horse owners, in this locality at least, are becoming less enthusiostic' every day over the progress rhade in road building. 3 They claim that the roads on which amiesite is used are unfit for use by horses'and that the animals are con- stantly in danger. This is particularly true on rainy days when the smooth surface of the highways becomes so slippery that horses cannot get a sure footing on them. Nearly every day trouble is experienced on the New Britain road because of the conditions and horses have. to be driven with great care over that highway. Bank Has Hearing, Representatives of the First Na- tional bank went to Hartford this af- ternoon to appear before Commis- sioner C. G.

New York, Nov. 16.—The steamer Ohijoan arrived here today from Se- attle, being the first of the Pacific fleet to make the trip by way of the Straits of Magellan, owing to the clos- ing of the Panama Canal by slides. The Ohioan stopped at Panama, but instead of sending her passengers and cargo across the isthmus as other ves- sels have done, it was decided to con- tinue the trip. The steamer made the trip from Panama to New York in thirty seven days without stopping her engines until she picked a pilot off the Scotland lightship. DAMAGE TO BUILDING $2,500.
