borne in mind that temperance, cleanliness,
exercise, nutritious food and an undisturbed

mental excitement they would stand good
chance OF escaping the disease, even if it be-
came epidemic.

Some ten years ago had scrofulous sore on

potash and mercury, and in March, 1882, it broke

of the doctors called cancer, eating through my
cheek, destroying the roof of my mouth and upper
lip, then attacked my tongue, palate and lower

HOPEFUL SIGNS DOWN EAST"
N. Y. Post.
Like the rest of the country, Maine has
complained good deal about the hard times,
but the examiner has just reported that the
amount of deposits in the savings banks of
the State is 81 ,0S2, 347 larger than six months
ago, which is the largest increase ever made
in half year. The number of depositors
and the amount of their deposits are unfor-
tunately not given, so that it does not appear
how far the increase may be due to more
general patronage of these Institutions by
people OF means, who have hitherto invested
their money more actively, but now find the
old channels closed There is everywhere
some tendency in this direction, but there
seems no reason to doubt that in Maine, as
has been proved elsewhere, the bulk of the
deposits still comes from the poorer classes.
and consequently that they are saving more
money this year than last. Such State of
things must be accounted one of the most
hopeful signs of the times.

The Life is the RI0Od-Prevenf Disease
Surgery the Last Resort-A Telling
Letter.

Here is fact for you to think over, viz Med
ical science proves that diseases, no matter how
great variety they seem to have, proceed from
comparatively few causes. 1t is for this reason
that some single medicines relieve or cure so wide
range of complaints-SOme of them appearing
almost directly opposite in their natures. When
medical preparation acts at once upon the di-
geStiye and urinary organs and also purifes the
blood, the list of difficulties subject to its control
is astonishing. But while many things are said
to possess this power those which actually do ex-
ert it are very rare.
1t is conceded that DIR. KENNEDY'S FAVOR
TIE REMEDY, of Rondout, N. Y, is the most
effective preparation now in use for all diseases
arising from foul or impure state of the circula-
ton. Hence it is more than likely that if the
"FAVORITE REMEDY ten years ago he would
never have suffered from Cancer.

by the operation, and since the "FAVORITE

The Free School Question.

What appears to us quite gratuitous
muddle has been got up on this question in
our town Council. We trust they will de-
eide the matter as soon as possible, 30 that
if their decision should be adverse another
vote of the people may be promptly had in
unquestionable accordance with the present
law. We feel warranted in saying that the
voice of the people will be reaffirmed and
will have to be respected in this matter.
There will be no backward step. Let us
then have the question promptly settled, so
that the further action necessary to inaugu-
rate an independent free school system
may be had as soon az possible. There is
no time to spare.
Since writing the above, we learn the
Council have decided to recognize the val
idity of the former vote, and to appoint
School Trustees. Now let us have good
men appointed friends of independ-
ent free schools-and all will be well.

COUNCIL MEETING.
The Public School Question Still in
State Of "GlOriOus Uncertainty"

The adjourned meeting of the City
Council convened at 4 p, p. Tuesday.
Present, Mayor Giesen, and Aldermen
Wood, Williamson, Glover, Green and Don.
alson-a full board.
The minutes of previous meeting were
read and approved.
A revised and corrected map of L. w.
Mitcaelrs second addition to San Marcos,
designating an alley six varas wide not OIL
tide original map, was approved.
A petition was then read from number
of citizens asking that Jas. Taylor u Bro.
be allowed to erect @. pair of wagon scales
in front of their store. This was the occa-
sion of considerable discussion. Mr.. Tay.
lor being called, stated that he purchased
the scales in good faith from Iglehart, agent
for the scale company, and that he was the
sole owner of the same, no other party
having any interest in them whatever,
On motion the request was granted.
On motion of Judge Wood O. committee
was appointed to draft an ordinance regu.
lating draymen, express wagons, boot
blacks, fruit and candy vendors etc. The
Mayor appointed w. d. Wood and Geo.
w. Donaldson with the city attorney to
draw up the above ordinance and report at
tuo hSAV AiCOIlhSs
The ordinance prohibiting the erection of
frame buildings within prescribed limits
viz: on all lots fronting on the public square,
and also regulating the construction of 9TH
ers within these fire limits, was taken ur
and after slight amendment, was adopted.
On motion of Wood the mayor and secre-
tary were made committee to superintend
the town printing.
The council then proceeded to consider
the matter of taking charge of the pub
lie schools pursuant to the verdict of the
people at the election held March Both,
The opinion of the city attorney, Judge
Fisher was then read to the effect that
articles 1881 and 1882, chap. 81 of the
of the general laws of 10 p. 81. are the on
ly authority for towns taking charge of the
public schools except chapter 102 general
laws of 81 p. III and that there is no law
authorizing towns organized under the
town and village act to take control of the
public school and that the election held was
without foundation of law.
Major Hutchinson and Mr.. L. W. Mitch
ell were present and by request entered
into the discussion. Major Hutchinson
thought that the legislature had intended
this as general law for the promotion of
public education in the State and as such
the act ought to receive liberal interpre-
tation. Nothing definite was done in the
matter.
On motion the meeting was adjourned to
p. m. Friday June 10.
