The proposed new issue of bonds con-
templates the expenditure of nearly
quarters of a million of dollars,
or, to be exact, $707.500. The expend-
iture of much more than that amount
has been proposed If the hundred and
one hobbies and individual schemes of
councilmen and city officials are in
cluded in the estimate. The $707 500.
however, is made up of only such items
as have met with more or less favor
and support.
Scranton's bonded Indebtedness on
April l will amount to s642,000 Ac-
cording to law the city can issue bonds
to only Z per cent. of its assessed valu-
alton. Councils can authorize bonds
for per cent. of this valuation, but
the remaining per cent. can only be
issued by authority of the people at
the polls. 1t is this restriction which
made it necessary for the electors to
authorize the last bond issue, which
was for bridges.
1t is estimated that the recent assess
ment will show a valuation of $23000,- -
600. On June l the exact total Will have
been determined and a return of the
assessment made to the city treasurer
for collection. Based on the $23, ,00O, 900
the city is now bonded 2.79 per cent,
leaving a leeway of 4.21 per cent. to be
authorized by the people. The $707,500
would increase the total Indebtedness
to 5.65 per cent. or within LBS per cent,
of the legal limit.

The sheriff and jailer refused under in

Judge jackson was asked to issue a
writ of attachment against the sheriff

bring these officers with their prisoner
before court. Attorney General Rucker
of this state requested Judge Jackson
to delay issuing writ until he can COM

if the United States officers are resisted

Madrid is SURPRISED.
Our Demand For the Philip
pines Arouses Feeling.
AMERICAN OPINION THE CAUSE
After President Mckinley Ascertained 1t
Stronger Instructions Were Given the
American Commissioners - Agreement
Probable with Filipinos.

MADRID, Nov. 1.-The news that the
Spanish peace commissioners at Paris
had referred to the government for
NAL demand of the American commits
sioners for the absolute cessation of the
entire Philippine group caused the
greatest surprise in Madrid.
The strongest feeling prevails that
the government shonld protest energeti-
cally against what is regarded as vio-
lation of the spirit of the protocol.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-The American COM
m!ssioners presented a written express
sion of the purpose of the United States
to take the entire group of the Philip
pine islands and to assume such pro-
portion of the Philippine debt as has
been spent for the benefit of the islands
or their inhabitants, in public works,
improvements and permanent better
ments.
1t was also set forth that the United
States would not assume any part of
the Philippine debt which had been in
Cured by Spain for the furtherance of
military or naval operations to quell in
surrections of the natives.
The session was adjourned until Fri
day in order to give the Spaniards time
to prepare reply.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The advices
from Paris to the effect that the United
States peace commissioners have de-
manded the cesslon to the United States
of the entire Philippine group is in line
with the instructions that have been
issued TO the representatives of the
United States.
A majority of their number leaned
toward a restriction of the demands to
be put forth as to the Philippines, vary
ing all the way from the retention of
Manila bay and the immediate sur
rounding country to the acquisition of
the whole island of Luzon. That repre-
presented about the extreme demand
that was in mind when the commission
left, but since that time the president
has become convinced that there is a
great popular demand for the annexa-
ton TO the United States of the whole
Philippine group and he is disposed to
defer to that sentiment.
Besides, there is ground to believe
that, in an unofficial manner, possibly
through informal communication with
Agoncillo, Agu1naldo's representative
in Paris, or perhaps through some d.
rect dealing between that chieftain and
Admiral Dewey the United States COM
missioners have satisfied themselves
that the difficulties in the way of an
nexation, so far as they might be ex-
pected to depend upon the will of the
natives, have been very much exagger-
ated. If this be so, then there has been
removed, as factor in the calculations,
one of the most disturbing elements, for
it could scarcely be contemplated with
equanimity that our government, after
having expelled the Spaniards, should
willingly be placed in the position of
attempting to govern an unwilling peo-
nile

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularityis a matter OF Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
perfectly normal and regular per-
formancc of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM-I feel like
new person since following your ad-
= vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done rne. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhna. /
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. l now wish to say that never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhua. l hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkhams expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal
leled, 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 ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.
