IMPORTANT ELECTION
New Orleans Will Vote on Modern Sew
 craze and Drainage

New Orleans, June 5.-One of the most Important elections ever held here will be that of tomorrow. It will decide whether New Orleans is to have modern sewerage and drainage, increasing the barriers against the introduction of pestilential dis eases, or whether the proposed vast scheme Of improvements will be postponed to some future time. The best of opinion is that the twomill tax will be voted by a large majority.
 There are no apparent evidences of oppo- sition and unless there is surprise in the silent vote practically the entire vote cast will be favorable About 5000 property holders are eligible to vote, but it is not expected that more than 1000 will avail themselves of the opportunity A majority of these latter carry the tax.
 If drainage and sewerage wins an effort will be made to have the governor to con- vene a special session of the legislature in order that the proper authority may be obtained for the issue of bonds to be cov- cred by the revenue obtained from the two-mill tax, which will run for forty three years.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM

Mrs. ". E. PAXTON, Youngstown, North Dakota, writes about her strug. gle to regain health after the birth oi her little girl:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val uable medicine.
 "After the birth of my little girl three years ago, my health was very poor. I had leucorrh@a badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men situations were very profuse, appear. ing every two weeks.
 "Itook medicine from good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when read your advertisement in a paper. sent at once for bottle o1 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com ponnd, and after taking two-thirds oi the bottle I felt so much better that ] send for two more. After using three bottles felt as strong and well as any one.
 "I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady meet sui. fering from this trouble"
 Maternity is wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women.
 The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax. ton had written to Mrs, Pinkham be. fore confinement she would have been saved much suffering Mrs. Pinkhaa's address is Lynn. Mass.

NEW REVENUE LAW
Senator Allison, of Finance Committee,
 Says One Will Be Passed

Washington, June 5.-Senator Allison, of view today, said:
 "In my judgment, the next congress will pass a financial measure. My judgment also is that the finance committee will take up the financial question anew. The bill agreed upon by the republican committee of the house will no doubt be faid before us in the nature of suggestion, and we will consider it, as we do other plans which represent commendable features. Perhaps in the future we will meet with the gentle- men of tn house, but nothing definite in that direction has been arranged"
 Have you any idea along what lines the currency legislation will be framed?"
 "I don't anticipate any very radical measures. We want to maintain our stand ard and at the same time give to the coun- try safe and yet a flexible currency. It is said that we ought to declare for the gold standard, but we are on the gold standard now. The recommendation of the president relative to the issue of national bank currency to the par value of the bonds deposited with the treasurer, de- crease in the tax on national bank circu- lation, and the payment of gold for green backs, with the latter issue taken out of the treasury all worthy of enactment into law, and I should not be surprised to see them adopted.
 Some legislation regarding our silver certificates which will remove the least de- gree of uncertainty should be enacted. Inere are now about $3S0,000,000 of silver notes in circulation and while they are as good as gold and while there is not the slightest doubt of the ability of the coun- try to sustain them whether we legislate or not, there have been some suggestions that we ought to make their status cer- tain
