Everybody Talking About 1t.

Everybody is talking about the great
free offer of DR.. Greene's, the most sue
cessfal specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and who discovered
that wonderful medicine, DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He
makes a speciality of treating patients
through letter correspondence, and all
who accept bis offer are astonished at
the marvellous success of this method.
His Office is at "a Temple Place. Boston,
Mass, where he receives and carefully
examines every letter sent to him by per-
sons describing their cases and telling
him their symptoms. After thoroughly
studying each case he answers the letter,
explaining the cause of each symptom
and telling sure way to get we'll and
strong. He makes he patients under
stand exactly what ais them and tells
them all about their complaint, ard all
this is entirely free of charge. They save
the expense of trip to the city, have
no fee to pay, and have the benefit OF
the best medical advice and consultation.
Here is an opportunity for you to get

since the addition of the amendment.
The constitutional amendment was APP
proved by the people in 1884 BY a majoli l.
ty vote of AZ, 600, and the legislature since
that time has not recognized it's duty in
the premises though bound to that by
its official oath. The legislature of 1893
passed laws in direct conflict with the
coDst tuition, making the Maine law al
most powerless, so that our officers have
said It wac hardly worth the trou ole
to detect violators Of the law and to bring
them before the courts. | was confident
that the present legislature would at
least make some show of purpose to
obey the constitution, so that it could
not be truthfully charged with desire
to defend the arog shops against the peo-
pie ard not the people against the saloons.
In 1857 many petitions were sent to the
legislature for q penalty of imprisonment
in addition to the fine. This was done,
and the law was submitted to the people,
who approved it by vote of more than
seven to one. The next legislature re-
pealed the law in spite of the popular
will. That is a fair specimen { the
dealing of our legislature with this
question of infinite Importance to every
public and private interest. / had no
thought that the legislature of 1895
woGld follow on that line.

a committee of five to serve on the school

meeting the same year Moses Nj. Libby
and hsrles Weeks were elected to serve

MI. Drown WIS duly sworn IN and got
his certificate. AT the annual election
the town claimed the board had no power
to Hi the up xpired term OF Mr.. Weeks,
ana elected Mr.. W. 7. Norton over Mr..
Brown. INN ediateIY after this action
taken ny the town two OF the mem beers
arose and ably deienued their side until

serving immediately wrote co Mr.. Stetson
asking his authority. He INN ediaiely
answered saying that Mr.. Drown, the
nian chosen BY the board, was the man
TO fill Mr.. Weeks's nnexpired term Of
office,
Immediately after receiving this infor-
nation the Secretary called meeting
Tor the purpose of eecting a supervisor,
surprising everythi g was decided after
receiving MIR. Stetson's authority. But
here they met with disappoi ntment, az
both new memb ers appeai ed and two OF
the mem hers now standing claiming
that Mr.. Norton was the one to fill the
vacancy, and the other two members
claiming Mr.. Drown, until after two
hours hot discussion they finally agreed
to abide by the decision of Attorney
General Powers. They wrote to Mr.. Stet-
son to get MIR. Powers's opinion and
notify them at once. The same week
they got letter from Mr.. Stetson giving
simllar answer to his of the week before.
Another meeting was called last Friday
afternoon for the same purpose as the
week before. After the meeting was
called and the letter read to them the
two supporting MIR. Norton would not
abb de by it's contents, claiming that Mr..
Stetson did not say whether it was Mr..
Powers decision or not. The result Is
that warrants are posted for new town
meeting next Friday tor the purpose OF
electing two new members on the board.
Whether it will be accomplished or not
Is question.
