hundred other doctors and who has a rec
ord of over thirty years successful prac-

in a plain envelope, so that prying eyes
of others may not get ever a hint, and
she will have the benefit of the very best
medical skill without a cent of charge
for it. Thousands of women have
written and been cured. And by this
method they have avoided the tex
aminations" and "local treatment "
so invariably insisted upon by local
practitioners and so abhorrent to every
modest woman.

A Halt Must Be Called or the Town
Will Be Burdened With a Heavy
Debt Before Spring

The town of Lewbtown has been
In control OF Mayer j. p. Barnes and
Aldermen W. H.. Culver, w. A. For
syth, w. b. Miner, Matt Regain and
j. NJ. Parrent for two months. Aid
erman Corcoran is not included in
those charged with control because he
is a lcae republican and his advice is
seldom needed by the Statesmen" OF
che opposite party. They have had
their own way, practically, and the
record for two months is made up.
Treasurer Murray informs us that
he has paid out on warrants $627.Sl
and registered warrants to the
amount of 1857, making a total dis
bursement by the council OF $794.Sl
for two months or at the ate of
81 6 so for twelve months-practi-
cally s.. 900 peryear. And what have
the people and taxpayers Of Lewis
town received for this extraordinary
expenditure? Not the grading of a
single street, for the bill for work on
Third avenue has not yet been pre-
sented and is not included in the ex-
penditures up to this time. That
will probably amount to several
hundred dollars and 1t will take sew
eral hundred more to put the street
in as good condition as twas before.
Just now 1t IL so rough that a man
who drove over it a few days ago,
his team trotting, came nearly losing
his load and he was compelled to
walk. Spring rains will make 1t alb
solutely impossible unless a great
amount OF gravel is spread over the
street.
And, AZ one taxpayer said when he
noted the total expenditures up to
date, "where IL the money coming
from to meet any such cost as IS, 900

the council estimated the receipts
from licensesfo the next eight months
to be $500 and from taxes, at the rate

$1,000. At the rate money has been
expended for the first two months
there will be Il deficit May first next

The King of Wurtemburg may cer- tainly be said to be the only Knight of the Garter who is a hotel-keeper as yell as a monarch. This has long been tradition in his family, but not till lately was il discovered by the rulers of the beautiful little German kingdom how profitable inn-keeping can be. come. When Peter the Great waa travelling ineognito through Europe he refused to stop anywhere but at an inn. To eireumvent this whim the then King of Wurtemburg put a tavern sign outside one of the royal palaces, and dressed as an fnn-keeper, himself well comed the czar. This royal personage's descendant now owns two large hotels. from which he is said to derive a rev. enue of a12,000 year.
