IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
HINSDALE, N. H.


Considering the damage done by high
water in other sections the damage here
was slight The Connecticut rose rapidly,
flooding the meadows along its bank and
filling the road near &. p Hooker's to a
depth of several feet, necessitating travel
to Brattleboro via the Plain road 1t COM
pletely surrounded Mr.. Hooker's house
and barn and caused him to move his stock,
ETC., in the lower part of his barn up
story higher. 1t also washed out a sluice-
way just above the Stearns farm, making
a ditch across the road some twenty feet
wide. The river rose to such height that
the ferry house on the Vernon side was
carried away, as was also the barn on
Spudd's island. The Ashuelot was also
very high and with the Connecticut sue
ceeded in flooding River street so that it
was impossible below Raleigh's, and also
came near surrounding the River tavern
and Mr.. Leach had to go to the barn in a
boat. The Ashuelot was so high that it
was necessary to stop work in the dye
house and finishing room of the Halle &
Frost Manufacturing company. Both rivers
are now falling rapidly.

BALLY ROOS NO MORE.
The Publication of an Indecent Show OF
the Atlanta Midway.

The Publication of an Indecent Show on
the Atlanta Midway.
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 22-The first
step towards purifying the Midway taken
by the Exposition company resulted in
a decided victory for the latter.
In the future there will be 40 more
women bally-hoos in front of the alleged
sensational attractions on the famous adj
junct to the exposition.
By the action of the exposition com
pany women are absolutely prohibited
from displaying themselves to the pub
lie view in front of the Midway shows.
The women have been used as advertis-
ing mediums by appearing in costumes
conspicuous for their brevity, but from
now on the attractive feminines will not
be allowed to appear, even should they
dress in the most puritanical manner.
The edict is against women, young, old,
new or coquettish, and against them will
it be enforced. Living pictures are also
prohibited.
And the tone of the furious spielers is
moderated to painful extent. Their
voices now peal to the public ear in the
choicest and pcrest language, and Far as
known not a single naughty word is ut
tered on the whole Midway.

With a terrific crash the Woodland car

Topeka is growing every year in the
number of her manufactures. Most of
the factories which have really started
in the last few years have made sue
cess of their business here. 1t is not al
ways true that the factory that starts out
with the greatest capital, the greatest
number of stockholders and makes the
most noise about it that makes the great
est success. Business started strictly on
the quiet in business way, with business
tact and energy behind them always sue
ceeds. This fact was brought out forci-
bly, when our reporter called at the bus
mess Office of w. w. Gavitts' Medical
Co, in the Office block. The company
started in the manufacturing of proprie-
tary medicines few years ago in quiet
manner. The reporter found the whole
force busy. Mr. Gavitt says the bust
ness has succeeded beyond his
most sanguine expectation, re-
curing an office in Chicago as well as
here. They have been obliged to manu-
facture the most of their goods in Chi
cago for the past year. As there was
where they were doing the most of their
business, and there is where they got
most OF their material. He reports that
they are now shipping goods to every
state in the union. They sell through
agents entirely, but are getting ready TO
put some of their remedies in the drug
trade. He reports that they are now
having u wonderful demand for their
| Cough Balsam, and that it is almost
impossible for them to manufacture it
I fast enough TO supply the demand.
! The cUase of this he says is that their
| Cough Balsam being entirely different
| from anything on the market it has
proven to be far superior and Just what
| the people want at this season of the
wear when the climate is SO changeable.
| Mr.. Gavitt does not like Chicago's win
| ter climate for himself as the weather is
| too changeable, but he says it is the
| greatest place on earth to sell cough
medicines.
The company also manufactures sew
| eral other remedies, one among them is
! Gavitts System Regulator made out Of
Native her bs, roots and barks with which
| they guarantee to cure all diseases,
chronic or acute. outside of Lung trou-
| bles, that medicine will cure. That is
| sold 100 days treatment for 81.
Mr. Gavitt says that they have to refund
the 81 occasionally, but that it will not
| average more than one case in enc hun
dred Mr. Gavitt prefers Topeka to Chi
cago as a home and expects, after awhile,
that all their manufacturing will be done
here. The people of Topeka should en-
| courage such factories, also bring others
here 1t can be done by speaking good
| word for those who are hers. When you
| receive letters of inquiry about them
don't answer that they don't amount to
anything just because you don't know
Always go to headquarters and let them
furnish proof of their business. 21d thau
you can answer -understandingly.
