her favorite son, Graves Crosby, last

her death was heart failure. The old
ady was so years old and did not enjoy
the best of health. 1t is to be hoped
that the next world will be enjoyed by
her better than this one, as she has not
been able to get much of this worlds
enjoyment as her health has been poor

esteem by those who knew her best.

BRISTOL.


Miss Morgan is nowsat Nixon's. They
have a full line of millinery. A new
lot. just received. She is at Salem on
Fridays and Saturdays of each week.
Long years of joining and associating
with secret societies has left it's i'm
press on the village of Bristol An air
of mystery and secrecy seems to per-
wade the town. The very walk of the
average Bristolite is Suggestive of hid
ing. 1t is sly and stealthily. You
expect every moment when you see a
man walking up the street to see him
dart into some alley and up some dark
passage to meet his kind in secret
c0nclave. Their conversation too,
savors of the mysterious. Their speech
is low and guarded even in talking On
the most commonplace subjects. For
instance, if one of our citizens wished
to tell you about his hen that crossed
the road he would watch his Opportun
ity to give you wink and an upward
northwesterly jerk of the head. He
would then take you around building
and get you wedged between pile of
barrels and a lot of stove wood and
then and there with many furtive
chances over his shoulder, proceed to
tell you about it.
Mrs. Acker and Miss Bacon, of Salem
visited friends in town Saturday.

care.

Ward Rowbottom sports new wheel
Joining is a recognized form of dis
sipation in this town. When one of
our citizens feels particularly happy or
particularly miserable and feels like
celebrating he don't go to saloon and
fill up on corn Juice like they do in
naughty Salem or Silver Lake. He
simply takes two or three boon COM
panions with him and goes off and joins
some new society and comes home
rather late at night, mildly hilarious,
but without drop of " likker" in him.

TAXATION LEGISLATION.
Gov. Pingree Sends Special Message to
the Michigan Legislature.


Lansing, Mich, May 3.-Gov. Pingree
sent a special message to the legisla-
ture Thursday urging the passage of a
new bin providing for state board Of
assessors for the property of railroad,
express, telegraph and telephone COM
panies and the taxation of such prop
erty on an ad valorem instead of a
specific basis.
He further recommended that laws
be enacted to correct existing inc
qualities in taxation whereby the prop
erty of corporations fails to bear it's
share of the taxes, and urged that, if
the legislature did not see fit to repeal
all existing special railroad charters,
such charters be amended so as to
bring the companies under the general
railroad law, so far as rates of fare
and taxation are concerned.
The message also advocated the
creation of a state board to hear ap-
peals and adjust inequalities in assess
ments.

DIR. PIERCE'S
EAVORITE PRESCRIPTION /:
1t Makes Weak Women Strong,
And Sick Women Wen.

It acts directly on the organs affected
and is at the same time a general tonic
for the whole system. It cures female
complaint right in the privacy of home.
1t makes unnecessary the disagreeab1e
questioning, examinations and local
treatment so universally insisted upon
by DOCTORS and so abhorrent to every
modest woman.
J. S. Everritt, of Hagerman, Washington Co.,
Florida, writes: For five years my wife was in
an almost helpless condition, suffering from
female weakness. Last September decided to
try DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
his Favorite Prescription am now happy
would be left in this unfriend1y world without a
companion DR.. Pierce's medicines are truly
worth a thousand times the money they cost
and every suffering woman in the world should
try them"

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which smoothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

to the stable and the former started on
horseback for Cherry Creek, while the
latter hitched up the team and took
her to Miller's ranch.
Dunn's story is similar to Mrs. Ham
ilton's, except he denies that he took a
hand In the quarrel but was fixing a
wagon several feet away. Both admit
that Hamilton did the shooting, and we
believe that he himself admitted IL both
at Bews's ranch and at Cherry Creek.
When he arrived at the latter place,
his nose was badly scrached and he
claimed that Clements had struck him
with a six-shooter.
1t is probably that the whole truth is
not vet known. There had been trouble
between Hamilton and Parker only a
few days before, in which Hamilton
leveled gun at Parker, when passing
the house. The Ford ranch was bone
of contention between two factions in
the neighborhood and it was probably
the dispute over this land that culmin-
ated in the killing. The fact remains
that man was shot in the back and
killed in cold blood on public high
way, and the man now in jail will have
a hard task to prove his innocence.
