There
Slept Sixteen Years.

Herman Harms, who has been
trying to rival the sleepers of
Ephcsus or Rip Van Wrinkle, has
at last woke up after Il nap of
sixteen years. Mr.. Harms, so the
story goes. went to sleep, IN ILL

in the head. The doctors, find
ing it impossible to arouse him
for more than few moments,
advised colder climate, and his
wife took him to Minnesota,
where he has since slept. His
devoted wife. who has cared for
him all the time, wouid arouse
him daily, when he would take a
little nourishment and ut once
fall asleep again, Now that he is

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented sny wife from becoming

growth OF hair. am ready to certify TO this
statement before a justice Of the peace
IL. HuIsebus, Lcwisburgh, Iowa.
"Somc years ago. after a severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. I used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply.
sicians ordered, but failed to produce
growth Of hair. ! then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists.
and all alike fell short Of accomplishing tho
desired result. The last remedy I applied
was Ayers Hair Visor, which brought ,
growth Of hair In a few weeks. l think
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary rs a restorative, but liked II
q dressing, and have continued to use It
for that purpose. I believe Ayers Hair
Vigof possesses virtues far above those Of
any similar preparation now on the market"

Middletown transcript., 1891-03-05

The Commissioners elected at the
town election last Monday are expect
ed to do some good work, and we be-
lieve the expectations will be fulfilled.
There is no good reason for another
loan for any purpose the town is in
debt now as much as it should be and
the only Improvement really necessary
is better streets. The town receives
each year from St. Georges Hundred
$500 to be used on Main and Broad
streets. This money should be spent
as the law directs or the Road Com
missioners Of che Hundred should re-
fuse to appropriate it. Had the money
been spent in the proper manner we
would now have splendid streets in
stead of a quag-mire. That placing
this 5000 in the general fund makes
town taxes lighter is no reason why
the people outside of the town should
furnish this money 1t is furnished by
them because Middletown is center
for all the travel in the Hundred and
the farmers do not object to paying it,
provided it is used in the lawful way.
We hope and believe that when the
two years term Of the new Commission
ers shall have expired we will have
good streets. if such thing is possible !;
we feel confident that at least the
money furnished by the Hundred will
be spent on street work.

M,Comb Denied . divorce.

The petition Of James c. McComb
for q divorce from his wife, Mary e.
McComb, has been denied by the Su-
perior Court. No written decision
was handed down and the court simply
denied the petition. All three judges
agreed in the decision. The McComb
case has been In course of hearing for
nearly two years and the commissioner,
John M. Rodney, reported in favor Of
granting the divorce. The attorneys
for the defendant appealed from this
decision. This case is one Of
the most famous divorce case that
has ever been tried in the courts Of
this State, and dates back for num-
Der Of years. James McComb, the
applicant for divorce, is one of the
wealthiest citizens of Wilmington.
He married a young woman who his
parents thought was somewhat below
his station in life. All went well,
however, for a long time, when he
began to tire Of his young wife. He
made application for divorce before
the Wilmington courts, and and the
suit has been pending for nearly three
years.

Edwin Booth is Failing.

Edwin Booth made his return to the
stage on Monday night, appearing
with Lawrence Barrett, at the Broad
@aV, New York, in 1.-THE Merchant OF
Venice" The New York Times
makes this significant and sad COM
ment upon the performance ut is
hard to think of the retirement of such
an artist at a time when arncst and
gifted actors are few, but no possible
good can result to him or to the
public from weak and inadeq uate
performances. Mr.. Booths most
fervent admirers, whose written and
and spoken comments on his acting
are founded wholly on remembrance,
cannot seriously think it fit that the
rising generation should be called to
Judge of his powers from acting SO
hopelessly feebly as that of last night.
His performance of Shylock was moth
ing more than a somewhat listless
reading Of the part. His voice was
not clear and firm. He rose to none
OF the great situations. He seemed to
have lost his matchless eloquence.
The scene with Tubale- one of the
greatest passages in the English re-
pertory-went for nothing. There
was no pretense of recall after it.
Probably for the first time in his
career Edwin Booth went directly to
his dressing room after the curtain had
fallen on this episode.

A New PhiladeIphia Mint.

Congress has appropriated 81, ,000, 900
for new mint building at Philadel-
phia, and it now goes to the President
for approval. When, about ten days
ago, Senator Cameron concluded to
have new mint building provided for
during this session of Congress, he
Immediately set about securing the
necessary legislation In the Senate,
and, this accomplished, had the bill
sent over to the House, where his
efforts were ably seconded by the
Philadelphia delegation, notably
Messrs. Bingham, Vaux and O'Neill.
By 'pooling their issues - with the
New Yorkers, who wanted a custom
house, the necessary appropriation yes
terday we1t through the House-178

western men who seem to want 1.-THE
earth,n and it is hoped that to-day
the centennial anniversary of the es.
tablishment Of the United States mint
at Philadelphia-will be celebrated by
President Harrison affixing his sigma
ture to the bill containing the largest
appropriation ever made for a single
building outside Of Washington.

THE FIFTY-FIRsT Congress is

well feel thankful that such is the
case. It is stated that 500. .000, ,OOO
have been spent by this Congress. =
is hard to believe that such a state
ment can be true, that the so-called
representatives Of the people could
have been SO hardened in the ways OF

wringing from a people already over
burdened SO many hard-e armed dollars.

will be able to know right and justice

Il il not worth anywhere near s1oo per
acre. Theirs are two or three towns
ii the state within whose limits lie
narsh lands Of the value Of Si0c per
acre. but the area is limited practi-
cally all the reclaimed lanas IN tne
State will be free from taxation.
There Is one point here which should
ba carefully considered and that is that
II such q law becomes operative no aid
can be rightfulIy extended to any
marsh company BY the different coun-
tieg. because the lands Of such COM
nanies do not pay their proper share OF
county tax. The st. Georges Marsh
@,omoauy is now asking the legislature
- enable the levy court of this county
g snend $500 each year to keep the
comnany banks in order, and they base
their claim upon the fact that their
lands are subject to taxation for coun-
ty purposes. There can be no doubt
that great good has been done by the
people who have reclaimed thess lands
and that the increased revenue derived
from them is greater gain than most
persons imagine, but that they shoYld
be allowed to escape taxation and at
the same time receive aid denied to
others is probably more than should be
asked for at one time. There are
many farmers and landowners who
do not own marsh land and yet they
are deeply interested in taxation they
may object to 50 much of a change and
vet they are generally willing that the
county shall help to keep up banks
which protect public roads.

heai Merit

Is the characteristic Of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and it is manifested every day
in the remarkable cures this medicine
accomplishes. Druggists say: When
we sell bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla
to new customer we are sure to see
him back in few weeks after more,
proving that the good results from
trial bottle warrant continuing its use.
This positive merit Hoods Sarsa-
parilla possesses by virtue of the
Peculiar Combination, Proportion and
Process used in its preparation, and
BY which all the remedial value of the
ingredients used is, retained. Hoods
Sarsapa.illa is thus Peculiar to Itself
and absolutely unequalled in its power
as blood purifier, and as a tonic for
building up the weak and weary, and
giving nerve strength.
