ganizers have been employed during the

If You Have Sick Child This is Surely 7es-
sage OF Hope.

This is the best news for parents of weakly
or sicklv children. 1t is fact that our peo-
ple have heretofore not had the same Oppor-
tunity for having their children who suffer
from chronic or lingering complaints treated
and cured by eminent specialists IN child
ren's diseases as do the residents of the great
cities, where such skilled physicians reside.
In other words our people have been debar-
red from seeking a cure for their children by
the great physicians, owing to the cost OF
travel to the large city and the high fees
charged by such physicians.
Here, therefore, is chance for the cure of
the children of our community which should
not be lost DR.. Greene of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, who is beyond doubt the
most successful specialist in curing diseases
of children, offers to give free consultation
by mail in all cases OF children $ complaints.
Parents have the privilege Of consulting DR..
Greene by letter, describing their children S
diseases and he WILL after carefully conSid-
ering the symptoms, write a letter fully eX-
planning the trouble, telling everything
about their complaint 80 plainly that you
Will understand exactly what ails your
children. He will also give his advice,
founded upon his vast experience and Won
derful success in treating such cases, as to
Just what to do to effect cure. All this
will cost you nothing and you can thus have
consultation with the best known physician
and acknowledged most successful specialist
IN the world without leaving home and at
no expense whatever. The Doctor is the
discOverer of the greatest, of medicines, DR..
Greene's NerVura blood and nerve remedy
and has discovered many other most valu-
able remedies. Write to him now about
your child, for this is chance of cure which
you may never have again.

Obituary.

Esther Hichborn Ellingwood, who died in
stockton Springs, Sept 9th, was the Young
est daughter of Simon and Isabel Fletcher.
and sister of Mrs. Ruth Ellis Clifford. who
survives her and sister of the late Oliver and
crawford S. Fletcher and Nancy Jane Cliff
lord. She married Capt. Thomas Merrill
Hlchborn about 1860, by whom she had two
sons irving M and Frank NJ. Capt. Hich-
born died Feb. %, 1854, aid on the second
day of April following occurred the death of
their son Frank, aged 21 and on April 10,
1897, Irving died aged 30. Thus from years
OF happy prosperous life she was left alone,
and when most women would have been
wholly broken in spirit her heart grew larger
and her sympaJhies reached out to all who
were afflicted, until all felt and learned TO
love the tenderness of her nature, as the
kind and tender words both from her lips
and pen have on so many sad occasions tes-
titled. She was one of natures noble women,
and as an active member Of the Ladies Lit
erary Club, Village Improvement Society,
the Grange, etc, and local correspondent of
several county papers at different times, and
one year superintendent of our public
schools, she always stimulated the nesU
qualities of all those who came in contact
with her During the last year there had
been rumors of her intended marriage, and
on the fourth day of June last it became
happy reality, and Rufus B. Ellingwood of
Leavenworth Kansas, formerly of Frankfort,
Me, was the one of her choice. This second
happy union with all its apparent promises
was cut short in only four short months, and
Mr.. Elingwood, with the conscious pride in
his accomplished wife, though the greatest
loser, must know he is not alone in his be-
reavement, or without the deep sympathy
of all who have ever known them.
Mrs. Hannah D. Curtis died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. James W Knowlton,
on Union street, Sept 30th, after an illness of
less than two weeks. Saturday Sept. 18th,
she had paralytic shock, which was follow
ed after few days by two others. She was
a native of Warren, and in early woman
hood married Simeon Curtis, with whom she
lived in Belmont and Monroe until his
death, which occurred So years ago in the
latter place, For ten Years past she has
lived with Mrs. Knowlton in this city. She
leaves three daughters, Mary, wife Of Isaac
Curtis; Susie, wife of Henry r. D9wson,
both of Monroe; and Eliza, wife of James
W. Knowlton of Belfast. She was a life
long Christian and was for many years an
active worker in the Baptist church in Mon
roe. Her faith remained with her to the
last. The funeral was held at her late home
in this city, Saturday morning, and the in
terment was at Monroe. Among the many
floral offerings We're a pillow from the fami-
ly, wreaths from Mrs. Peter F. WEIGH, Mrs.
Alpheus Dyer, Miss Hattie Maddocks bou-
quets from Mrs NJ. L. Patterson, Mrs. j. q.
Patterson, Mrs. II. l.. Buckiin and uaugh-
ter, Mrs. Chas. X. Harrison, Mrs. B. F.
Malldocks, and white roses from the grand
children. The funeral services were con-

The Hurricane Wild Sweep.

The hurricane Of last week, W hlcD raVaged
the Southern coast Sept. 29th, had its origin
in the Eastern Gulf, began its baeful work
by sweeping away the town Of Cedar Keyes
passed rapidly up and along the Atlantic
coast to Hatteras, then switched off with a
sharp plunge to New ork land finally gather
ing its forces moved West to be lost in the
great lakes. The city OF Savannah, in many
respects the queen city Of the South, ranking
with Charleston, Atlanta and New Orleans
as a great centre of trade and commerce,
sustained loss of more than million dol
lars, and dozen lives. The city of Bruns-
wick, lower down the coast, hardly one
third the size of Savannah, lost its shipping
and more than S500,O0C worth of property
Farther North, we lind that throughout
Lancaster and Berks counties of Pennsyl-
vania the loss will aggregate over million
dollars, the central figure of interest being
the destruction of the famous long bridge
over the Susquehanna between Columbia
quarter long, and that cost million dollars
to build This bridge was lifted bodily from
its IS piers and cast into the river. At the
National Capital buildings were unroofed
and otherwise damaged and the shipping
along the river front suffered Like reports
come from Baltimore, where many of the
streets were flooded. The New England
coast escaped with minor damage.
The latest advices show that the damage
to the property IN Florida from Tuesday 8
storm will foot mp million dollars. Fully
a hundred lives were lost and perhaps ten
thousand people were rendered homeless.
In Baker county not score of houses out of
a thousand We're left standing, and thousands
of cattle were killed. Relief committees
have been organized in several towns to aid
destitute people

City Government.

The Septemb Der meeting of the City Coun-
Gil Monday evening was attended by full
board of Aldermen and seven members Of
the Common Council. The Mayor was alb
sent and Alderman Welch presided in the
Board of Aldermen. But little business was
done. The roll of accounts was very long
but not unusually large. The highway bills
were larger than usual on account of repair
ing damages from rain storms. The bills in
CITY district amounted to S275.51, and in
Dist. No. T. in which the Brier or Downes
bridge was rebuilt, the bill was S247 90. The
expenses to tine city for the September cleo
tion We're S22550. Petition of 0. r. Webster
for permission to erect and maintain sta
tionary steam engine, was read and hearing
ordered for Nov. ID. An order was passed
to put in hydrant at the corner of Peirce
street and River avenue. The following sums
were transferred from the appropriation for
permanent improvements on school houses: !:
800 to free text books 5000 to general
school purposes; 5000 to general repairs.
This was rendered advisable by the facts
that the changes made to the Grammar
-chool building amounted to 500, includ-
ing improved heating apparatus, and the ap-
preparation for the changes was 81 200. The
discrepancy was caused by the changes
made being much less than was at first in
tended, The roof of the High school build
ing leaks badly, which calls for the change
to the appropriation for general repairs. A
large percentage of the text books are not
serviceable and must be replaced, and on
account of an increase of scholars in some of
the schools additional teachers are necessa-
ry. which condition was not forseen when
the appropriations were made.
