Legal Action Against the Mayor and City
Clerk Begun.
LEWISTON, April 6.-The most i'm
portant steps this week in the proceed
ings to compel City Clerk Belleau of Lew
iston to produce the check lists of the
city and to further the proceedings in
quo warranto upon Mayor Newell were
taken this afternoon by the service up
on City Clerk Belleau and Mayor Newell
of the process to compel them to appare
at the April term of court in Auburn to
answer to these proceedings.
The action against City Clerk Belleau
is to require him to produce the check
lists of Lewiston, and particularly the
famous checklist in Ward 5. The hear
ing at the April term in Auburn will
elicit the evidence and the decision of the
court will be as to whether or not the
city clerk shall be compelled to bring
the checklists into court.
In the quo warranto proceedings, the
case is wholly different, being on a
broader basis. In this Mayor Newell,
upon issue of the writ, will be required
to show by what right he holds his office
of Mayor.
The counsel for the prosecution in
these cases have also talsex steps in the
second mandamus asked for, viz: that
looking to compel the mayor and alder
men into joint convention.
The neglect of the city government to
hold a joint convention and fill the va
rious subordinate offices of the city is in
violation of the charter of the city as
well as the ordinances and laws of the
city and it is the purpose to proceed by
petition for mandamus at once. The at
torney general will be asked for his sig
nature to the petition Immediately.

Little 4 YearOld Charley Goodies
Escape, Pursuit. and Capture.

SHELBY. N. c., Aug. 13.-Mr. and Mrs.
Goode, living about six miles from Ruth.
erfordton, went to the village yesterday
to do some shopping. They took with
them their little boy Charley, 4 years
old. While in a store buying goods lit
tie Charley gave them the dodge, and
when they discovered their loss they in
stituted search i'll good earnest, finally
getting about 100 persons interested.
Finding his little barefoot tracks in the
sand, they followed them. and at dis.
tance of three miles they came to creek
and there Charley's little foot prints were
plainly visible going into the stream.
Not finding tracks indicating his exit on
the other bank they went down the
stream in search of his body. At few
PAGES, however, they found that he had
pulled himself out Of the water by some
bushes and had gone on further down
the stream through corn fields and over
fences and bitches, and just as dark was
closing in on the searching party they
came upon him. He was wet and his
little feet torn by briers. He had then
made five miles. and when asked where
he was going he replied in brave tone:
"I'm do'in home. "-Richmond Dispatch.

Candidate In Every District.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The congress
iona campaign in Georgia promises to
be the most exciting in the history OF the
State. UD to the last election, in 1890,
there had been practically no opposition
to the Democratic candidates, and a
nomination was equivalent to an cleo
ton. In districts where there was a
voting population of at least 10000 the
maximum number OF votes cast was not
over 1000.
This year the Farmers Alliance will
place candidates in the field in every dis
trict, and for the first time compare
lively full proportion of the total vote
will in all probably be polled.
TON Watson, he of Congressional
jag" notoriety, is the chief prophet of the
new political creed in Georgia. He de-
clares that the alliance will elect five con-
grcssmcn in the state. Before leaving
for home he related some of his gricv-
ances and INDUCED in some speculation
touching the elections in his Staten. Y.

morning and this will tie up an enor-

BUFFALO, Aug. 17.--The Chicago dis

GOV. BROWNS VETOEs.
Nearly Eight Months OF LeXisla
tive wOrE Useless.

FRANKFORT, ,ky.,Aug. 13.-Coy. Brown
has vetoed three bills which are the prin.
ciple part Of the eight months work Of
the General Assembly. Nothing in recent
years caused the comment that these
vetoes have, and they are being disussed
all over the city.
The principal bill vetoed was the rev.
enue and taxation bill. The legislature
last week agreed to adjourn tomorrow,
and therefore there will be no revenue
bill until next year, and the corporations
are satisfied, as they will be taxed under
the old bill, which is not so heavy for
them as the vetoed bill.
The other bills were the corporation
bill, which regulated the corporations Of
the State, and the geological survey bill
which provided for the continuance Of
that institution.

AntimiSraine
The MEYER FAILING CURE FOR
HEADACHE
Absolutely Safe, Perfectly
Sure, and Always

Cures Every Variety ofHeadache
AND NOTHING ELSE.
ANTIMIGRAINE

Has earned for itself the enviable reputa-
tion of being the finest, most effective
and reliable article in the market for the
speedy relief and cure of every variety of
that common trouble, headache. The
immense favor which has greeted it from
all quarters proves its true merits and
acceptability to the public. 1t is some
thing which almost everyone needs, and
those who have once tried it will never
be without.
For its curative powers it does not
depend upon the subtle influences of such
poisonous drugs as
Antipyrine, Morphine, ChlO-
raj and Cocaine,
since it does not contain an atom of
either of these. it is absolutely free from
injurious chemicals, and can be taken by
young and old without fear of serious
results. 1t is not a Cathartic, does not
disarrange the stomach, and contains
no noxious or sickening ingredients.
The peculiar advantages of Antimi-
graine consist in its being thoroughly
reliable as cure for any kind Of head
ache-without respect to caust-leaving
no unpleasant or annoying after effects,
as in the case of other so-called "harm-
less" remedies. These qualities make it
the most popular and saleable article in
the market, wherever known.
