The republicans will journey to the town hall this evening where they are “ to hold their caucus in the main hall | at 8 o’clock. It is an important duty that confronts the party members, for they are to select the man they think is best fitted to represent the town in the lower house of the general as sembly for the next two years. Dr. R. M. Griswold has represented the town for the past two years About town there is very little com- ment to be heard about the nomina- tion from any members of the repub- lican party, and unless the unexpected develops not much of a contest will pe staged. Charles M. Jarvis seems to be the man who will be selected. The democrats have been victorious but once in the past eleven year: that election D. E. Bradley defeated Marcus E. Jacobs by a plurality ofl 69 votes. The election results have' been as follows: November l\“IE‘M Willis H. Upson, r, 313, Nelson F ’Ia\lor d, 273; November 1896, M. & Jacobs, r, 288, D. E.

During the evening a mock mariage was per- formed by Misses Nellie Garity, Cath- erine Corr and Bessie McIntyre. A dainty luncheon was served and musi- cal and vocal solos were rendered. Miss Phompson was given many beau- tiful presents of china, cut-glass and silverware. Fair Tonight. St Paul's Fife and Drum band will lead the parade around Kensington this evening, after which the grand opening of the fair at St. Paul's hall will be held. All has been in readi- ness for some time and now all that is needed is a good crowd to make the opening a success. A faitaful and hard working committee has taken upon its shoulders the running of the affair and tonight P. 8. McMahon of New Britain will furnish an act from his theater for the amusement end of the entertainment. Selectmen Invited. Mayor George A. Quigley has sent an official invitation to the selectmen of the town of Berlin to attend the parade and reception to the soldiers in that city tomorrow afternoon. A big parade will be held in which fraterni- ties, Boy Scouts, civic organizations, v veterans and the members of companies B. I and D will take part. The selectmen will view the parade from the reviewing stand with the New Pritain officials and other guests of hLonor. Needed Improvement. One of the most needed improve- ments has at last been started in the repair of the East Berlin road. For past two years this highway has been in poor condition and has been bad as any back road. The mater- iail taken from the ditches on the Worthington ridge is being used to dress down the road. Mecting Postponed. A meeting of the auditors was called for last evening in the town clerk’s of- | fice but a postponement until this evening waz nocessitauted because of the absence of W. H. Gibney. Tonight's meeting will be called before the cau- cus and will he over before that event takes place Notes, The regular weckly prayver meeting was held at the Bast Derlin M.

Field Headquarters, Punitive Expe- dition, Mexico, Oct. 13.—Investigation of recent rumors concerning the oper- i ations of the bandits under Francisco ! Villa and Julio Acosta virtually has confirnied the belief at ficld headquar- | ters that the reports were the result of | imagination of frichtened refugees. Although many Mexicans from country { south of Il Valle have sought safety in that town, which is within two miles of an American camp, it is be- lieved the fear that prompted their as unfounded. No Villa fol- it was learned today, are in Madera. Villa has not v entured north of Te- mosachie, which is more than 100 miles from the American lines. A re- cent report that Villa followers were at Galeana, within ten miles of the American line of communication also has been disproved. Apparently there has been a lull in bandit activity since the fight at Cusihuirichio. FAMOUS \STRONO)IER DEAD. St. Louis, Oct. Rev. Irl R. Hicks, astronomgr and “long distance” weather forecaster and publisher, died here last night from pneumonia. was 71 years old. He | DYSPEPSIA OF WOMEN Special Treatment Required. | Many women suffer from a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not yield to ordinary treatment. While the symptoms are similar to those of ordi- nary indigestion, yet the medicines usually prescribed do not restore the patient’s normal condition. There seems to be a kind of dyspepsia caused by derangement of the female organism. While this appears to be the same as ordinary indigestion it can be relieved only by a medicine which, be- sides acting as a stomach tonic, is good for female ailments. Read what such a medicine did for Mrs. Williams :— She says: — ‘‘Before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound I was trou- bled with dyspepsia and bearing down pains in my back and sides, and after my meals my stom- ach would bloat up till I could scarcely get my breath. At times I was so weak 4| I could bardly stand #lon my feet and I 8 looked hollow-eyed and my skin was yellow. Now I have a good color, have gained in every way and can do my work without any pains. 1 think it is the best medicine on earth for stomach troubl:s of wo- men.”” — Mrs. NELLIE WiLLIAMS, 81 West 3d Street, New Albany, 1“‘11 12 OCTOBER 13, Plainviile News 0. 0. P. CAUCUS TO BE A LOVE FEAST Simpson Will Probably Be Unop- posed for Representative IS ALONE IN THE FIELD Candidate’s Supporters Expect to Name Him by Acclamation—Select- men Seek Information—Farmers | Get Good Potato Crop. Harmony is expected to prevail at | the republican caucus in the Town hall this evening when the members of the G. O. P. will gather to homi- vate their candidate for representa- tive, judge of probate and justices of the peace. Surface indications point to the absence of a single contest and judging from the opinions expressed Ly the leaders the men who have an- nounced themselves as aspirants for places in the top row on the ma- chine, which is to be used at the com- ing election, will be named without opposition. Willlam J. Simpson seemingly con- tinues alone in the fleld as the can- didate for representative and his backers stated today that information they have secured leads them to be- leve that he will be named, possibly by acclamation. Leaders of the fac- tion which was expected to oppose him has made no open move towards his defeat and apparently plan to permit of his election without a con- test. Judge George R. Byington's ad- ministration as head of the probate office will be endorsed by the caucus and he will again be named as the | party’s candidate with reasonable as- surance of similar action by the demo- crats when they hold their caucus | Monday evening. That the probate court hardly has a place in politics | is a recognized fact and in Plainville as well as elsewhere there is no dis- position to make a change in judges. S. S. Gwilllm’s acceptance of the office of grand juror at the town elec- tion undoubtedly insures similar sction by A. H. Condell regarding the nomination for justice of the peace and he will be named for that posi- tion tonight. Charles H. Calor, who is serving in that capacity, will be asked to run. While it was said early in the year that Edwin H. Hills would not handle the republican campaign this fall as head of the town committee the call for the caucus tonight makes no mention of probable action regarding the selection of his successar and the committee now in charge of the affairs of the party will, it is expected, be continued in office. The caucus gives promise of being a very tame affair and because of the absence of contestants has created but little interest. Trolley Rails Arrive. New trolley rails to be used in con- rection with the improvements on ‘Whiting street, planned by the high- way commissioner and the Connecti- cut company, arrived in town yester- day afternoon and were distributed along the highway. The trolley people have a.force of men at work on double trackage in New Britain and it is understood that as soon as they complete the job they will be sent to Plainville to lay the new rails. Permission to make the changes was secured from the public utilities commission several] months ago but owing to a scarcity of laborers work had to be deferred. The changes in the layout of the trolley tracks will be followed by the extension of the permanent pavement to the end of ‘Whiting street, Quiet Pay Night. For the first time in a number of weeks pay night at the transfer sta- tion failed to provide work for the constables of the town and the usual Friday activity in court circles was found missing today.

Factories Work Overtime. Most of the local manufacturing concerns are now operating their plants on overtime schedules in an ef- v the precedent established by fort to keep up with the orders which are pouring in from all parts of the country, Officers of all companies report that business is exceedingly brisk with them and the scarcity of help is prov- ing their only handicap. The Rock- well-Drake plant has both day and night forces while at Trumbull’'s and the local mill of the Bristol Manufac- turing company some of the depart- ments are working extra hours. To Review Parade. Plainville is to join with New Brit- ain tomorrow in formally extending a welcome to Companies E and I on their return from the border. The demonstration for the boys in khaki will take place in the afternoon and Mayor Quigley has sent an invita- tion to First Selectman Johnson and other leading citizens to officially take part. The local officlals will be given a place on the reviewing stand which is to be erected at Central Park. Plainville sent a number of it3 young men to the border when Presi- dent Wilson called out the militia to prepare for eventualities in Mexico. But two of them Prvates Burgess and Roberts remained until the Connecti- cut regiments were ordered home, the others having been rejected at No- gales for physical disabilities. The local privates were welcomed by their friends when they arrived here last evening. The boyvs were greeted by many of their acquaint- ances around the streets today. They will rejoin their companies to- morrow for the reception to be ten- dered them in New Britain. ‘Writes For Information. Pirst Selectman Jchnson has writ- ten ing machines are now In use seek- ing information as to the various malkes and the cost of the apparatus. He has also sent communications to the manufacturers of some types of machines but as yet has recelved no reply. In all probability representa- tives of the companies will be here within a few days to take up the mat- ter with him. But three weeks remain before the the election and the selectmen are anxious to get the machine problem off their hands as early as possible. They would like to have the appar- atus here at least a week before the election in order to give the voters | an opportunity to familiarize them- | selves with its workings. The time is so short that they will have but lit- tle opportunity to investizate the merits of the various patents and they admit they will have to trust largely to luck in making the selections for the experiment, Good Potato Crop.

Selectman John- son dug a very good crop on his place, the area planted yielding as good as in other years, Henry 8. Tyler probably leads all his neighbors in potato growing this year, figuring the yield per acre. From the six acres in which he plant- ed the tubers he has dug nearly 1,600 bushels. The potatoes are of excel- lent quality and are larger than those dug from most of the other farms in this locality. Last year Mr. Tyler's crop proved a failure and his friends are pleased over his success this year. Brief Items. Mrs. Ella Cowles of West Ma/n Ist. Reg. C. N. G. Co. E. and Co.
