A woman who suffers from weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organs,
who Is racked with pain, and tortured with
headaches and nervousness, cannot be &C.

are the natural results of suffering of this
description. The poor invalid woman is
not at fault, save in her ignorance of her
own physical make up or neglect of her
womanly health.
Thousands of women are neglectfu1 in
this way because they shrink from the en-

the advent of the railroad and they think
they are now surely part of this busy

There is a wave Of prosperity growing

is a wonderful sight
The sardinc factories are running full
blast on the coast. 1t is Il sight worth
seeing. These factories contribute quite
a lot toward the freight of the new road
and are a great help to the county.
The farmers are raising more stock
and the prices are advancing. The pep
pie seem to have courage and when the
courage is restored there is sure to be
prosperity.
I'VE are in n position more than any
other State officials to tell when the coun-
try is prosperous for we are in touch
with the local assessors. We have NOT
had any complaints about high valuation

suppose the same number of men could
accomplish in one day. They work to-
gether like clockwork, and each man
knows what he is TO do and when he is to
do it, This is, in a measure, due to the

SERVED IN The ENGLISH ARMY.
An Augusta Boy at Home Alter Nine Years
Service for Queen Victoria.

John Harvard Coughlin is back in
this city after an absence of nearly 10
years. Of which time nine years has
been spent in the ranks Of the English
army. The young man is we'll remem-
bered here and is gladly greeted by
many old friends. He was born in
Bowdoinham and attended school in
that town. but was employed in this
city for number of years and eX-
poets to remain here in the future.
His brother is in New York in the en-
ploy of the Magee Furnace Company.
When he left this city. nearly 10
years ago. young Coughlin went to
England and soon enlisted in the Eng
lish army, joining the Royal Marines.
For over nine years he served in this
organization, reaching the rank of a
sergeant. He saw service in Africa.
India and China, and was mustered
out, May %, when he came at once to
this country. He says he enjoyed
army life but is glad to be back in his
own country. The one haunting dread
that has followed him has been the
fear that there would be war between
England and the United States. His
mind was all made up that if such y
contingency arose he would desert
Victora's cause whatever the conse-
Guences might be. and if possible get
into the United States army.
Mr.. Coughlin was at the meeting of
Co F. the other evening, and enrolled
himself among the recruits that are
needed to fill up the ranks of this or
ganiZation. His long experience will
make him valuable member of the
company, and he is already working
with enthusiasm to get other young
men of the right kind into the Nation
al Guard.

John n. Dearborn Of the kittredge
road. a mile or two out Of the city, has
a complaint to make to the game COM
missioners: il is probably the first of
it's kind ever heard of here and the
outcome is uncertain owing to the
uniuuencSs of the circumstances. Mr..
Dearborn, like every farmer, has n
dog. 1t is of no special breed but is
only an ordinary canine with more
shepherd blood than anything else.
But the dogs pedigree has nothing
to do with the case. In the document
which Mr.. Dearborn contemplateS for-
warding to Commissioners Carleton ne
will tell how his bow-wow, while
strolling in the fields which comprise
his farm, was made for by big ana
handsome deer which appeared sud
denly from the woods in that vicinity.
The dog barked and conducted himself
i'm the manner as written in the Rules
for Escape, but the deer was not dls-
turbed by the noise and kept in close
pursuit.
The dog was thoroughly frightened
and was gradually weakening under
the scare but with extra efforts he
managed to make the barn. The deer
! did not intrude within the yard and
