Many women live where there is no skill
full specialist in womens diseases, and still
more cannot afford to pay the high fees
charged. These sufferers should follow the
example of Mrs. Anna Willy, of Worthwhile,
Sphinx Co., S. OAK, who writes as follows
to DR.. X. " Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y:
~ am enjoying good health, thanks to your
kind advice and valuable remedies. l suffered
very much with female ailments for more than
two years, when wrote to you for advice. After
carefully following your free advice, and taking
six bottles each of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
ton and Golden Medical Discovery, am now
a well and happy woman. 1 have also taken
several walls of your Pleasant Pellets which
did me great deal of good"
Dr. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in
the back, side and abdomen, nervousness,
headache, Irregularities, alterations, tn
mors and other female troubles, than any
other living physician. His wide expert
ence peculiarly fits him to bring about cures
when every one else fails. He charges no
fee whatever to those who write him for
advice, and he invites all to consult him
free by mail. His wonderful remedy,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, can
be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
cry kind of disease that afflicts girls and
women. 1t contains no alcohol, opium, or
other narcotics, and does not create craving
for injurious stimulants, as is so often the
case with other medicines advertised for
womans ailments.
An honest medicine dealer will give you
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and not
try TO persuade you to take some inferior
substitute for the little added profit he may
make thereon.
Those who wish may enclose 81 one-cent
stamps in their letters, and DR.. Pierce will
send free his Ioo8-page Common Sense
Medical Adviser, which is the most COM
plete and practical family doctor book ever
published containing over 700 pictures.
The same book, cloth-bound, 81 stamps.

made last week to stop the license of
good watch dog, for reasons no doubt
which would not occur to honest men. A
petition was made out and dozen names
of uninfuential persons were appended.
The said savage dog is the constant com

1t was learned that all the signers would
have to meet the owner and give their rea-
sons for disposing of the dog, and the petit
TONER being unable to bring them to face

lack of evidence and the dog was licensed.

Fred Sears Killed at MIIIers Falls.

Fred Sears, an employee on the Central
Vermont railroad, living in Millers Falls,
was killed Friday morning while at work
shoveling out switch just south of the
railroad station. A heavy freight on the
Fitchburg railroad was passing and the
noise from that train was so great he did
not hear train backing down on the track
where he was at work. The train ran over
him, crushing both legs. He was carried
to his home, only few rods away, and
died very soon after.

HINSDALE, N. H.
The Gayest Dance OF the Season at Hins-
dale Next Monday Night.

dale Next Monday Night.
The Easter prize dance at the town hall
on Monday evening of next week, for
which Chas Stearns, the janitor, is sponsor,
promises to be a very ENJOYABLE affair. 1t
ought to be considered in the light of
testimonial or benefit to the ianitor, for last
year was an unlucky year for him, as by
one of those fatalities which sometimes
overtake mankind he suffered two serious
bodily accidents in quick succession which
disabled him for some months and even
now he is far from recovery. Everybody
knows Charley Stearns and is aware how
genial and jolly he can be even under tine
most adverse circumstances, and it would
be very gracious thing to give him "a
good send off" on this occasion.
Many Brattleboro people remember Mr..
Stearns, the son of 'Uncle john" as man
ager of the old American House away back
in the SOS and it is a matter of record how
popular he was in those days, polite, oblig-
ing, companionable, the model host OF
course he has grown old with the rest of us
In the third of century that has elapsed
since, but he still retains the same attrac-
tive, genial manner and heartiness as of old.
1t would not be out of place for some of
the old boys" of Brattleboro who knew
Charley Stearns in war time and partook
of his hospitality to "get themselves into
gear, hunt up some of their "old flames, {"
now "fair, fat and forty" probably trife
more) and come over to the Easter dance
on Monday evening. Prizes are offered for
the best walters. The music will be fine
and the refreshments abundant and the
janitor will spare no effort to give his old
friends a royal good time.

Dies Irae.

The fourteenth of April, thirty-fourth
anniversary of one of the most memor.
able tragedies in history. A genera
ton ago, at the break of day, when peo.
pie came forth from their homes all
over this broad country, they were par
alyzed by the astounding intelligence
of terrible catastrophe at the national
capital. President Lincoln had been
assassinated during the night, plot to
kill the entire cabinet and General
Grant had been developed, Secretary
Seward, i'll at his home, had been fierce
ly assaulted in his bed, and, it was be-
lieved, fatally wounded. No one not
living on that day, and old enough to
comprehend the nature of the awful
calamity that had befallen the nation,
can understand the condition of stupe-
faction that for an instant seized the
people, or imagine the terrible re-
vulsion of angry feeling that followed
when the reality, the enormity, of the
shocking deed at Washington dawned
upon the public sense.
Business and domestic duties were
neglected, and people gave themselves
up to the contemplation of the appall-
ing crime and comment upon its prob
able authors and its possible conse-
quences. Every syllable of news from
Washington was ravenously seized,
and in the large cities crowds of people
filed the streets, watching the bulletin
boards or listening to the counsels of
public men. At critical moment in
the temper of the populace in New
York, General Garfield, himself a few
years later, as President, the victim of
a villianous assassin, got their atten.
ton and by his fervid eloquence and
the wisdom of his words, in a speech
that has become historic swung their i'm
pulses into serener channels. So woe
full and wrathful day had never
dawned on the American people, and
80 red sun has never since risen on
the Republics horizon. The wrath of
man has passed away, and the men of
the hostile sections who were then
glaring at each other across the border
lines of the Union the dead Confed-
eracy are today brothers again in heart
and hand. So great healer is time.

IN THE FAR EAST.

MANILA, April -. - Yesterday in
in the lake region Lawton pursued the
insurgents east ward from Santa Cruz,
dispensing them. He captured all the
larger vessels used for the lake trade
and Spanish guaboat. He is now en-
deavoring to pass them from the
river where they are concealed into the
lake.
Wheaton drove the enemy three
miles eastward to the railway line of
communication with Malolos. Law
toms and Wheaton's casualties are few
and slight, as the enemy made no stand
They are notified by Spain that she
will evacuate Mendoza and Pola soon.
MANILA, April 12-Gen. Wheaton,
who came down yesterday from Male

attack, repulsed the enemy today and
chased them eight miles into the in.
terror.
The operations covering the country
east of Bocave, Santa Maria, rebel
stronghold, was captured by Wheaton's
men after brief fight. A large force
of Filipinos is concentrated at many
points to stop the advance of the Amer
leans.
Wheaton brought Calling gun into
play. The rebels withstOOd the hail of
this weapon but a few minutes. The
sight of men dropping by the score in
their ranks created panic, and they
turned tail and fed from the Ameri-
cans hot pursuit The Filipinos left
thirty-four dead and sixty-three wound
on the field. The casualties sustained
by the Americans, if any, were not re-
ported.
MANILA, April 13.-The Filipinos
attacked the outpost of the Third artil-
lery at MalolOs during the night. Two
American soldiers were killed and
three wounded. The insurgents are
evidently determined ON guerrilla war;
fare, these isolated attacks by small
forces of the enemy becoming daily.
Aguinaldo's plan is to harrass the
Americans as much as possible, hoping
to continue this kind of fighting until
the rainy season sets in. 1t is his be-
lief that the ravages of disease, caused
by the climate, may compel the Amer
leans to withdraw into Manila, leaving
the Filipinos free to occupy the rest of
the island. Aguinaldo continues to
treat with severity, the insurgents who
wish to surrender to the Americans.
The Filipino prisoners report the exc
cution OF six insurgent officers, includ-
ing colonel, who expressed desire to
treat the Americans.

Production and Expansion.

In giving his views about trusts and
monopolies to the Industrial Commits
sion at Washington last week, Mr.. F.
B. Thurber of this town presented in
cidentally the case of expansion from
the business side:
with consuming power OF 10000 900
We have producing power of 10000, 900.
Our problem is TO keep our labor and our
capital continuously and remuneratively
employed by preserving our home market
and reaching out for a place to dump our
surplus among the other 1866, 900, 900 peo-
pie, each Of whom has some wants"
Mr.. Thurber was speaking of what
he regards as the necessity of the or
ganization of industry, but the neces-
sity of territorial expansion is even
more evident. The excess of Ameri-
can production over American con-
sumption keeps increasing, and the
Americans will be the victims of their
own energy as agriculturists and manu-
facturers il they cannot find new mar
kets for their surplus products. For
tunately the Philippines will give the
United States distributing station for
trade with the East and means of pro-
noting commerce with China. A con-
Stunning power of 100000, a pro-
ducing power of $50 ,000, 900. that is the
problem of which the acquisition of the
Philippines is at least a partial solu-
tion.-New York Sun.
