PERHAPS A NEW DAM.

There is a probability that action will
soon be taken by the local city govern
ment looking toward either repairing of
the dam at the Paxton reservoir, or
constructing new one on the present
location.
The present dam was built in the sos,
and holds back about 300,000,000 gallons
of water. 1t has for several years pas.
shown signs of weakness and there is
a feeling that if the matter is not at
tended to soon. an accident may occur
which would result not only in great
damage to property, but also in a loss
of life, as in the event of such a break
Kent's reservoir and the Leicester res
ervoir would be taxed beyond their cap
acity, and should their retaining walls
also give way, the resulting flood would
be such as has not been seen in this
vicinity in years.
The estimated cost of reconstructing
the dam and putting it in proper shape
for business is placed at between $780,
900 and $4,000.

each Of these plugs the electric wires
viii be passed, and it will be q very
easy matter when anything is the trou-
bic with the lights to remove the plugs
and take lights and rehectors inside the
tower for the necessary repairs.
Superintendent Knight believes that
this arrangement will prove much
more satisfactory than attempting to
fasten the lights permanently to the
inside of the tower, as then, if any ac-
cident occurred to the lamps, il would
be almost impossible to get at them,
and especially in the winter weather.
Tht only question in the minds of the
city officials with regard to the scheme
is whether or not cutting through the
TOP of the tower will weaken it. Mr..
knight says that he has talked the
matter over with the city engineer, and
that the latter, after looking over the
proposed location of the holes, has con-
cluded that it will not weaken the tow
er. The exact thickness of the walls OF
the tower at the height where the cuts
are to be made is not definitely known,
but it is considerably thicker at that
height than beneath the clock faces.
The cost of the work has not vet been
determined, but it is thought that it
will not be very expensive. AS far as
annearances go, the tower would not
st,ffer through the execution of the
MAN for the reflectorS would be paint
ed color as closely as possible resem-
hing the1colernof the tower stone, and
tbesyisibIe ends of the wooden plugs
would also be similarly painted, giving
the whole a finished and attractive ap-
DeaJance.

FIGHT FOR GUARDIANSHIP
Republican CITY Committee to Elect Off
GERS Next Tuesday.

There is little probability that action
will be taken ON the proposed increase
of the republican city committee at the
first meeting of the organization for the
new year, next Wednesday night.
There has been SO much comment and
discussion over the matter, that it will
undoubtedly be allowed to rest until
public interest in it has in a measure
subsided. and the new organization is
thoroughly installed. During this
time, also, the matter viii be laid be-
fore the district attorney, and the le-
gality of it gone into thoroughly
Candidates for the offices in the COM
mittee are lining UP for the election
Wednesday night, and there is promise
of lively little contest. Walter b.
Gleason Of ward 2; who until recently
was the only candidate in the field for
chairman, now has lively opponent in
Leon Rice Partridge of ward 8. Mr..
Partridge. who is young man and an
active republican, is very popular, AMI
will make a strong opponent for Mr..
Gleason to encounter. Charles Slocum
of ward has also been mentioned for
chairman. George r. Tuson of ward
5 is practically the only candidate for
secretary, and his election seems as
sured.

Crowned With Success.
Rich and Poor Alike Can Now Use
the New Treatment.
GREAT REDUCTION IN DEATH RATE PREDICTED

Nothing has ever occurred in the his
tory of medicine which has brought so
that the new cure for dis
eases of the respiratory organs would be
placed on the market in such a manner
as to enable the poorest suffering to re-
ceive the benefits which are to be derived
from this wonderful treatment. Even
since the discovery of this new germicide,
and especially since they have found it a
positive cure for catarrh, bronchitis and
physicians have used every
effort to persuade the manufacturers of
Hyomei to bring their remedy within the
reach of all, but having given away over
two million sample bottles of Hyomei free,
treated over seven hundred thousand suf-
ferers, with less than one hundred fail
ures, and returned the money to all those
who had not been cured, the r. 7. Booth
Company felt that they had done enough
to prove to any sensible person tho true
value of their new discovery, and refused
to make any further concessions. Strong
pressure was brought to bear u~on them
by the medical profession without results,
until the proofs were furnished that the
methods of Introduction employed by
them had been used fol-, years by quacks
they frightened them into purchasing
their treatment or medicine--in fact so
often have the people been deceived It is
now almost impossible to persuade them
the remedy will benefit them. To be sure,
over seven hundred thousand did .pur-
chase Hyomei in 1895, yet as the physi-
clans expressed it, this number was but a
drop in the bucket when compared with
the vast army of people who are suffer-

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS,
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer, I"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
''My health became so poor that 1
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. / was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. | followed. the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's

you directed, and am now as well as /
