Puritan[a Patients
Why TheyT ake
 Puritana.
WHY THEY GET WELL.

The proof does it, That is why people begin to take Puritana.
 People find that their neighbors have tried it.
 Their friends have tried it. Men and women in every walk of life have tried 1t.
 A man suffers.
 Perhaps he has suffered for years. He has tried many things, They have all failed. He reads Puritana testimonial. He reads another. He sees new ones wherever he looks.
 Some of the writers are in his own town.
 Some in his own business. Some he can see.
 Some he can write to. Some have been cured of his own ailnent.
 Some of other ailments. All are grateful.
 All are glad to tell suffering people how Puritana gave them relief. They are approachabie folks, and their voluntary testimonials count. Some live in town.
 Some in the country. Some hold office.
 Some vote.

Probate Court--Judge cleaveland.

There was a contest yesterday morn ing before Judge Cleaveland in the pro- bate court over the commitment of Francis Crummery of Seymour to the Middletcwn insane asylum. Crummery was an industrious employe of the Con- solidated road in Seymour, but lately he has acted strangely and the com pany was obliged to dismiss him. He has considerable property and enter tains the fear that the selectmen are trying to get it, so he contested the petition for his removal to the Middle town asylum. Judge Cleaveland com mitted him.
 An application to have a oonservator appointed over him to assume charge of his property was then instituted and the hearing will be held two weeks hence

by civil court OF the Competitor prison

effect has reached the state depart

The Spanish government reached this
conclusion some time ago, but has de-

MAINE SPEAKS.

Election in the Pine Tree State Results In
Sweeping Victory for the Republicans
Governor Elected by $4,000 Plurality
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept Is, The cam
paign which eliminated Monday in
the greatest republican victory ever
recorded in this state, has been the
most active known for years on both
sides. There were five candidates for
governor, which is the only state Off
Ger chosen by the people, all the others
being chosen by the legislature. The
name of one of these, w. H. Clifford,
of Portland, the nominee of the sound
money democrats, was not upon the
official ballot and those voting for him
were obliged to write his name upon
their ballots The other candidates
were Hon. Llewellyn Powers rep J,
Hon. Melvin p. Frank (dem.), Ammi s.
Ladd (pro.), and Luther C. Batemaa
(pop.). congressman, county officers
state senators and representatives to
the legislature were also elected
The average estimate of the plural
ity for governor was $4,000 to $4,000,
as compared with $4,000 in 1894 and
12,50o in 1892, but the vote yesterday
throughout the state was larger than
anticipated and the majority for Pow
ers is larger than the most enthusi.
astic republican dared predict, the lat
est returns indicating that it will
reach nearly $4,000. In nearly every
county the officers are republican by
larger pluralities than ever before
known, and in some counties no candi-
dates were put in the field by the
democrats In all four of the con-
gressional districts the present incum-
bents are reelected with increased
pluralities. In the First district Reeds
plurality will be something over 10,-
oOO as against S,1s5 two years ago,
while Congressman Dingley, Milliken
and Boutelle will go back to the next
congress with much larger vote than
two years ago. The legislature will
contain few democrats.

vate citizen simply representing cause which
was near TO my heart, and when told you here

by those who tried to make it appear that

The position taken by the platform against
the issue OF paper money by national banks is
supported by the highest democratic authority,
as well as demanded by the interests Of the
people The present attempt Of the national
banks to force the retirement Of United States
notes and treasury notes in order 70 secure
basis for larger Issue of their own notes.
illustrates the danger which arises from per-
mitting them to issue their paper as q clrcu-
lating medium. The national bank note, being
redeemable In lawful money has never been
better than the United States note which
stands behind it, and yet the banks persistent
ly demand that these United States notes,
which draw no interest, shall give place 70 In
terest- bearing bonds, in order that the banks
may collect the interest which the people now
save. To empower national banks to issue cir

THE TARIFF.


II is not necessary TO discuss the tnrif ques-
ticn at this time. Whatever may be the indi-
vidual views Of citizens as to the relative
meri,s.of protection and tariff reform, all must
recognize that until the money question is fully
and finally settled the American people will
not consent to the consideration Of any other
important question. Taxation presents prob
.em which in some form is continual y present,
ard "a postponemeut OF definite ncliUn upon IL
involves no sacrifice OF personal opinion or po-
ltical principles but the crisis presented by
financial conditions cannot be postponed
Tremendous results will follow the action
taken by the United States on the money Ques-
tion and delay is impossible The people OF
this nation, sitting as high court, must rem
der jtEig ment in the cause which greed is pros
ecuting against humanity. The decision will
either give hope and inspiration to those who
toll or shut the doors Of mercy on mankind"
In the presence Of this overshadowing issue,
differences OF opinion upon minor questions
must be laid aside In order that there may he
united action among those who are determined
that progress toward universal gold stand
ard shall be stayed and the gold and silver
standard Of the constitution restored.

AFRAID OF CONSUMPTION.

People who lose flesh are in danger of
consumption. In many cases loss of
flesh is the first symptom of the dread
disease.
Light weight is too often a sign of
some wasting disease which gets its
first start from Indigestion. Cure the
indigestion and health, strength and
flesh will be rapidly regained.
All physicians are agreed that the
most important thing to be done in
such cases is to improve the appetite
and digestion: and if this cannot be
done there is very little hope. for
strength. flesh, pure blood and strong
nerves can only come from plenty of
wholesome food well digested.
This is the reason so many physicians
