Heaviest Taxed Town In the State.

For some years the little town of Dalton in
the southwestern part of Coos county has had
it hardly can have enjoyed-the distinction
of being the highest-taxed place in New
Hampshire. Dalton did not begin to pay it's
war debt soon enough, and the construction
of the Coos railroad changed it from
fourishing starting place of northbound
stages into quiet little village. The taxes
had mounted up to over So on 500 and, as
business decreased, stores We're closed, and
their keepers moved away. This years re-
turns have not been repo, ted, says the Exeter
Newsletter, but if Dalton does not wish to
perish by slow suicide she would do well to
cut down the principal of her debt

A NEW VOTING MACHINE.
Automatic Device Exhibited by A. J. Gill
ItspIe at the sherman House, Chicago.

Automatic Device Exhibited by A. j. Gil
Isspie at the Sherman House, Chicago.
A. j. Gillespie, of Atlantic, Ia, who is
stopping at the Sherman house, Chi
cago, exhibited at the hotel the work
ing model of a voting machine for
which he claims absolute accuracy and
the secrecy of the Australian system.
The mechanism is contained in what
appears to be an ordinary voting booth.
At the entrance is a turnstile door
pivoted in the center. Inside the reg
istry chamber the voter finds an Aus
tralian ballot before him having a Sc
ries of horizontal rods passed over the
ticket, one over each office line, Each
rod has an indicator ring fastened upon
it, and by placing this ring over can
didate's name the machine is "set" so
as to register one vote only for each
candidate and this is done by the act of
the voter in leaving the machine.
When a succeeding voter enters he finds
the indicators all returned to an in
operative position. The count for each
candidate is scored in concealed cham
Der in the rear of the booth. The
counters are all mounted on a frame
in the concealed chamber. This frame
moves to and away from the wall of the
machine. In the operation of set
ting" the machine block is moved be-
tween the counter and the wall. This
block operates the counter and regis
tiers the vote.
The cost of the machine is less than
that of machines heretofore construct
ed, being about $500, and Mr.. Gillespie
asserts that its operation entirely elm
mates the formidable intricacies of the
Australian system.

TUNNEL CASCADE MOUNTAINS.

Great Northern Begins Work on a Bore
to Cost Over S3,ooO,oOO.
Work on the long tunnel of the Great
Northern railway under the Cascade
mountains in Washington has begun. A
corps of eight engineers arrived on the
field the other day and promptly started
in on the preparations to clear the ap-
proaches for the subway. 1t will be
gigantic piece of engineering.
1t is understood that operations will
be carried on in four directions at once
by sinking shaft at spot where de-
preston in the mountain makes this
feasible. From the base of this shaft
the boring of the tunnel will proceed
toward the eastern and western ap-
proaches, the former of which will be at
Cascade and the latter at wellington.
The tunnel will have a length of be-
tween two and three miles, and it will
probably require two years or more
to complete it, even with the facilities
of modern appliances to expedite the
work.
Whether the construction will be by
contract or be done by the company it
self is not fully determined, but it is con-
sidered probable that the company will
undertake it with its own force. AS to
the cost it is believed that the work will
require an outlay of from 100000 to
S4.00o,000.

The ancient story tellers, no doubt, be-
1ieved the infant Hercules inherited his
wonderful -strangling powers from his
father, but modern science shows that a
baby's strength depends largely on the
mothers health at the time the baby is
born.
To bestow strong and rugged constitu-
tion on her little one, prospective mother
should fortify her own health and strength
with DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
is the most wonderful health builder ever
devised for women. 1t imparts elasticity
and endurance to the special organism,
and gives power and tone to the entire
constitution.
Taken early during the expectant period
II enables her to meet her time of trial with
a strong body and cheerful mind. 1t short
ems confinement relieves labor of all its
danger and most of its pain, and promotes
the secretion of healthy nourishment for
the child.
There is no other medicine equal to il in
nerve-building power. 1t is the only rem
edy of its kind prepared by a regular.
ly graduated, experienced physician. No
woman should risk her health by resort
ing to any preparation compounded by a
mere nurse or other unscientifc, unedu-
Gated person.
Women would save themselves and their
families from much unnecessary sickness
by obtaining and reading a copy of DR..
Pierce's free book, 1.-The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" a thousand page
volume, explaining human physiology in
clear and interesting language, and giving
many suggestions and receipts for home
treatment of common ailments with over
three hundred illustrations and colored
plates. 1t will be sent absolutely free on
receipt of twenty lone cents in one cent
stamps to pay the cost of mailing only

sociation, No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N Y.
If handsome cloth-bound embossed bind
ing is desired, send ten cents extra thirty
one cents in alD to pay the additional
expense of this handsome cover.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims TO Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
piciOn attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
overflows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them 20 health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to FL. G. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
it a trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.
