Extreme Tired Feeling.

A lady tells us ''the first bottle has done
my daughter great deal of good, her food
does not distress her now, nor does she suf
fer from that extreme tired feeling which she
did before taking Hoods Sarsaparilla." A
second bottle effected a cure. No other pre-

vitaizing, enriehing, purifying and invlgora-
ting properties as Hoods Sarsaparlla.

Association.

The Kennebec County Medical Association
held their annual meeting in room No, IL, at
the Augusta House, yesterday. The attend
ance was very good considering the bad
weather
The association convened at IL o'clock A.
ia, in the chair.
The following officers we're elected for the
ensuing year:
President-Dr. J. NJ. Eveleth, Hallowell
Vice President-Dr. A. Sawyer, Gardiner.
Sec. and Treas DIR. J. Q A. Hawes, Hal
lowell.
Standing Commttee-Dr. L. J. Crooker,
Augusta; Dr. F. N. Putnam, Gardiner; DIR.
A. +. Besse, Sidney.
The standing committee was authorized to
make arrangements for an excursion of the
during the summer months.
Most of the time was occupied in discus
sions over the most prevalent diseases and the
most approved methods of treatment.
Resolutions were adopted thanking the re-
tiring president for the interest which he had
taken in the welfare of the association.
The association was very handsomely en-
tertsined by Mr.. Milliken, proprietor of the
hotel and at o'clock partook of a sumptuous
dinner.
The association adjourned at o'clock

While the assessors are making up their
taxes tor the current year. the New Age
would suggest that thev take the bull by the
horns and raise money enough, with what
comes from other sources to paw the actual
expenses of the year, so that the city will not
be continually running behind, forced to
resort to permanent loans. and led to cover
mp the actual Indebtedness as it has been
done by past boards. 1t may be a bitter dose
for heavy taxpayers, but even thev will be
better satisfied with square, open dealing,
than they can be bv underhanded work
NeI Age
Don't the editor of the Age know better
than to presume that the Assessors have au-
thority to raise money" or make and lay
taxes on the people and their property, on
their own responsibility? The Assessors OF
this city can assess a tax only in accordance
with law, and on an order of the City Coun
Gil sppropriating the sum to be raised, and
for the purposes specified, and they have no
power to do more nor less. the suggestion
of the Age to the contrary notwithstanding.
And the present board will be very likely to
do in this regard Just as all previous boards
have doue-even if the present reform
Government shall be "led to cover
up the actual indebtedness. 1T may
be a bitter dose for heavy tax pay
ers: :" "but even they will be better satisfied
with square. open dealing than thev can be
by underhsnded work" such as the Age sug'
gests TO them to do in violation of the law
and their oaths.

THE battle in New Castle on Tues
day was a vigorous one. Confidence
manifested itself on the faces of cam
didates on either side. 1t turned
out a great victory for the Demo-
Gratis. Col. Tom Ford, the popular
choice for Sheriff was elected BY a
comforting majority. Byard Wild
does, our genial townsman, swept
into the office of Coroner by a pleas
ing majority. Theo. F. Armstrong,
another of our esteemed citizens,
drew coveted place in the list of
Representatives. 1t was a complete
success to the Democracy in the
county without a single exception.
Every candidate elected is fully
competent, and should give his best
endeavor to carry out the duties
entrusted to his care. We believe
they will not deceive those who
trusted them by supporting them.
To say the least, they will certainly
not betray their trust.

years ago, when all colored people who
then held their membership there with
drew and went to worship in churches
of their own, Reuben Roy and his wife,
Jane Roy, refused to sever their con-
nection with their white friends. In

ALpENs LITERARY REYOLuII ON.

John B. Alden's Literary Revolution,
though, possibly, not making so large
noise" in the world as three or four
years ago when its remarkable work was
"new" to the public, is really making
more substantial progress than ever be-
fore. A noticeable item is the improved
quality of the books issued. GUrzoT's ia
nous 'History of France" not sold, till
recently, for much less than $4,000, is put
forth in eight small octave volumes, rank
ing with the handsomest ever issued
from American printing presses, includ-
ing the APO full page original illustrations,
and is sold for 800. RAwLINsoN's cele-
brated "Seven Great Monarchies of the
Auchiet Eastern World" is produced in
elegant form, with all the maps and illus
trations, reduced in price from $500 to
1915. These are but the representative
of an immense list of standard works,
ranging in price from two cents to nearly
$4,000, which are set forth in adescrip-
tive catalogue of 100 pages, and which is
sent free to every applicant. 1t certainly
is worth the cost of postal card to the
publisher, John b. Alden, 1903 Pearl street,
