political orphan" That is not ex-

parents before he was able to feed
himself, and has just been adopted by

the difference when he comes to nurse.

Biddeford, October 4.-There is an in
teresting kind of political struggle going
on in Kittery and Eliot just at this time
on account of the narrow margin by
which the returns on election day showed
the defeat of Francis Keefe of Eliot, the
regular Republican nominee for the legis.
Iature. The independent Republican
candidate, T. B. Staples, was elected by
plurality of two votes only. Mr.. Keefe
has returned for rnandamus from the
Supreme court for recount of the ballots
and the hearing was held this afternoon
before Judge Savage, and was attended
by many citizens Of Eliot and Kittery. 1t
is said that Mr.. Keefe's friends have
secured several affldavits to prove that
loose stickers bearing the name of T. f.
Staples found in the ballot box, were

THE POPULAR LOAN.

The National Bank of D. 0. Mills in
open for subscriptions to the national
popular loan, and that below the sums
of $500 allotment of the new 3 per
cent. bonds. will be made by the Gov
ernment Immediately, while subscrib-
ers for larger sums will not receive
allotment privileges until after the
14th Of July.
Thus the Government will secure for
its paper the widest possible distribu-
ton, and, under the law, the smallest
individual subscribers will be first at
tended to. Wise precautions have
been taken to prevent individuals from
repeating" and thus getting blocks of
bonds into a few hands.
These conditions are greatly different
from those of the bond issue of 1895.
The purpose Of the issue and It's man
ner differ from any previous bond is
sue. There is no auctioning of the
bonds as in the former case, no al
lotment to syndicates, no selling to
those first who will take the most. On
the contrary, the man who has SO to
invest is welcomed first and before all
others.
And It is good investment, gilt
edged security, perfectly safe place
ment Of money. Moreover. the money
for the bonds will be in far largest
part turned back into the channels of
home trade, for it is at home mainly
that the Government will expend it in
Quitting troops. in purchasing sup
plies for the army and navy, etc.
We apprehend that the $500, 600 600
now called for will be taken immediate
ly, and be so much over-subscribed
that the Government will feel justified
in issuing another S1OO, 900, 900 of bonds
the full limit under the law being
100000 600.
When 1t is considered that the bonds
of SO to-day command S121 in the
market, they being per cents, it is
easy to understand that the new 3
per cents at twenty years will COM
mand high premium at an early day

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness In ad-
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to se-
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vipor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 22O
Horner ST., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold. was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh I
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side BY
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand silinR
women during single year.

HELP ON THE CAUSE.

The General Fourth Of July Commit
tee has laid out a plan for the ap-
preaching celebration that will give us
one of the best held anywhere in the
land. It is to be essentially the peo-
pies. demonstration, largely pedes-
trian parade, literary exercises Of
high and interesting character, dem
onstration by the youth of the land
as we'll as by age, and at night there
is to be a fine display of aerial fire
works.
But some more money is needed for
all this-not to be spent on trappings
for officials of the day, or carriages for
them to ride in, for, with splendid pa
triotic purpose, they are going to
march this year, and do their
part of the cheering-but more money
is needed The merchants and trades
people have been sorely pressed this
season for contributions for varied OBJ
1ects. The business man finds he can
give just SO much safely every year
from his business to charity and pub
lie purposes. Beyond that his contri
button endangers his business. Now,
the merchants of Sacramento have
done well. No one has any complaint
to make of them. There is not a body
of business men anywhere who give so
often or more, proportionately TO the
amount of business done
But there are ten thousand people
CT -
ford to give and who are seldom
reached by committees If these ten
thousand would give the insignificant
sum of % cents each, what glorious
firework display we could have. how
we could dress the procession with
flags, and how we could multiply the
salutes and other patriotic features.
But the ten thousand quarters cannot
be easily collected. There should be
no difficulty however, in getting a
thousand dollars more in the outside
wards. The good people who can af-
ford to give and have not been called
upon should not wait for the commit
tee, but send UP their contributions at
once. The money viii be spent at
home mainly; it will be a good, pa
triotie investment; it viii sow seed
that, will give US magnificent crops of
loyalty to the flag when the need OF
the nation demands.
Let US give for Old Glory and Old
Glorys day with just as open hand
and loose purse strings as is possible.
Let no feature of the celebration be
shaved down for lack Of means.
