Beautiful Snow Measures More Than Seven Inches.

It looks ffie"a white Christmas. A light bdautiful snow measuring (between 7 and 8 inches, fell during Friday night and as there was no wind the snow did not drift but fell evenly. There was enough moisture to cause it to Stidk to the trees and everything is covered. The temperature is scarcely below freezing and it is an ideal winter day. The forecast is for more snow and colder and it tooks as though the forecast "Would be (fulfilled. As there was a coating of snow before this came the roads should be in fine shape for sleighing.

36 YEARS IN CELL; WOMAN PARDONED

Sentenced for Life in 1879 for Husband’s Murder—Retains Traces of Her Former Beauty. Hartford, Conn., Dec. 18.—Mrs. Kate Oobb, of Norwich, who has been confined in the state prison at Wethersfield for nearly thirtysix years tor the murder of her husband, was today granted a pardon by the state board of pardons. She was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1879.The pardoning of (Mrs. Oobb, who is now 66 years old, recalls one of the most sensational crimes in the annals of Connecticut courts. Her husband, Charles Oobb, was found dead in January, 1879. Soon afterwards, Mrs. Wesley Bishop, a member of another prominent Norwich family, also died suddenly. Both families were intimate. The Coroner’s inquest Showed that both Cobb and Mrs. Bishop had died of poisoning under suspicious circumstances. Mrs. Cobb and Bishop were arrested and it developed in the evidence after a remarkable trial that the ttwo had planned separate murders in order that they might be free to marry. The evidence, however, was mostly circumstantial and' it was not until Bishop had turnd states evidence that the motive and details were brought out. Both were sentenced to life imprisonment. Bishop died in prison two years ago. Although they were confined in ceils not many hundred feet apart, the two never saw each other from the day they were sentenced. It is said Bishop had requested that he might see Mrs Cobb before he died, but she declined to see him. Mrs. Oobb has —petitioned the board of pardons six different times to i clemency. Her last petition said she did not ask for release for herself alone, as she had lost all that life held dear But for the sake of her children and their offspring, she wished to pass the remainder of her life with them 'and spare them the disgarce of dying in prison.* Mrs. Oobb, although in prison more than half her life, retains many traces of the beauty for which she was noted when. she lived in Norwich. iShe has twO dhiJdren living.

EXPECTS TO ERECT THREE-STORY BUILDING

H. R. Kurrie Will Probably Put Up Structure for Militia, Van Rensselaer Club and Lodges. H. R Kurrie plans the erection in the early spring of a good brick building, three stories high, on the lot between the Central Garage and Mackey’s marble works. Although definite plans are not worked out, it is ’probable that the building will be erected as the home of Company M, the Van Rensselaer Club and two lodges, prob ably the Masons and the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Kurrie has had the building under consideration for some time and the organizations above mentioned have had representatives call on him with a view to securing quarters. He expects within the next thirty days to give a definite answer to the mand at this time there is every prospect that the building ifrill be erected. A part of the first floor will be devoted to enlarging the Central Gprage. The balance will be tor the militia and the arrangement will as nearly as possible will be made to suit the needs of the citizen soldiers. There will be adequate drill hall, an Office, quartermaster ronins and shooting gallery. The drill hah will be used as a place for holding publi? dances and banquets, etc. It is quite probable that a kitchen will ibe provided and dumb waiters operating between it and the Van Rensselaer Club and lodg* ll< ors provided for. The second floor will be for the Van Rensselaer Club and will be arranged in the most modern club style. There will be reading rooms, a billiard room, dance and banquet hall, etc. It has been suggested by Mr. Kurrie that arrangements might be made to have a businessmen’s lunch served there each noon, arrangements being made with one of the restauarnt keepers, to furnish the service. Only members of the club would be entitled o patronize it. Mr. Kurrie suggested tliat this would give businessmen ap opportunity to get together and would eliminate a lot of hard work in the homes where three meals a day are now provided. There are quite a number Of homes in Rensselar at this time where lunch is served at noon and dinner between 5 and 6 in the evening and following the custom made necessary in the cities it has proven very popular and could be adopted generally with profit. (Mr. Kurrie remarked in a joking waiy that our wives see too much of us any way and that morning afid evening meals at home are enough. The Masonic lodge and probable the Knights of Pythias lodge will occupy the third floor. Both of these lodges are now in the K. of P. building, whidh belongs to J. M. Shaffer, of Plymouth, (who has cut the heat off the top floor and increased the rents. Mr. Shaffer also required the militia company to move out because higher rent could not be paid and the quarters they occupied and for which they paid S4O per month have since been vacant The Van Rensselaer Club also occupies quarters in the same building and will move out when the new Kurrie building is erected. The matters rekiting to the erection of the new 'building followed Mr. Kurrie’s obligation as a member of the Van Rensselaer Club Friday evening. x Samuel Fendig and Michael Wagner were obligated at the same tima Forty-two of the fifty active members of the club iwere present. Following the business meeting progressive seven-up was played and Judge Hanley and John. Parkison were suCcessfu Mn winning the greatest numbr off games. C. P. Fate served a cafeteria lundh consisting of baked beans, potato salad, ham, cheese and 'bread and butter sandwiches, cherry and pumpkin >pie, pickles, cake, apples and coffee. Lon Healy furbished piano music and there were a number of songs, the evening in every respect being pleasantly spent. The original by-laws of the club provided a Unfit of fifty members, whirih has now been reached, but it is proposed that the new by-laws, now being prepared, will increase the membership to one hundred. The club has prospered financially and expects to have sufficient money on hand to furnish the new home luxuriously. . '

SONS OF VETERANS ARE PROSPERING

Ten New Members Taken in Friday Night and Charter Membership Reached Fifty-Two. The Sons of Veterans are prospering in Rensselaer. Teo new members were taken in Friday night and a number of others are now pledged. It is probable that the membership can be increased to one hundred during the next few weeks. The sons off loyal fathers and mothers feel that they owe to them a patriotic duty in preserving the institutions dear to them and to which their sacrifices so richly entitled them and this inspiration has caused many to volunteer their membership and they are finding the .service of the order valuable, the instruction profitable and the initiations refined and interesting. < The old effort to give a military tone to the order has passed away and the plan is patriotic and sociable. It is probable that plans wity be taken to offer to furnish pallbearers for all funerals of soldiers and soldiers’ widows and to take over entirely the Memorial plans. Those to be obligated Friday evening were: Ross Dean, E. C. Maxwell, Jud Adams, Will Scott, Leslie Miller, John F. Payne, Clifford Payne, Albert Timmons, Chas. W. Spencer and E. W. Matheny. J. W.

Colds Are Often Most Serious. Stop Possible Complications. The disregard of a cold has often brought many a regret. The fact of sneezing, coughing, or a fever should be warning enough that your system neess immediate ettention. Certainly loss of sleep is most serious. It is a warning given by nature. It is man’s duty to himself to assist by doing his part. Dr. King’s New Discovery is based on a scientific analysis of colds. 50c at your druggist.
