Town Meeting.

With an Cnanimity unexpected at
the special town meeting last Thurs,
day afternoon it was voted toextend
the length of the lower story OF the
town hall II feet and put in furnace
heat.
The meeting was called to order by
First Selectman E. E. Brigham, ia
the absence of Moderator Geo. NJ
Powers, and Ex.Gov. Hendee was
elected as presiding officer, and F. G.
Fleetwood as clerk. The proposed
plans of Improvement were stated by
Col. G. W. Doty, who outlined in a
very creditable manner tmaU thirty
or more business men of the village
were backing a course of winter en-.
tertainment, which, by the way, is
not second to any in New England,
the success of which is largely depend
ent upon comfortable place in which
.to'hold them. AS soon as this ex-
PLANTATION was made it was but a
short time before the body of voters
decided that the proposed improve
ments should be made and that it
should be made by the town, and
not by private enterprise, which
would control the hall.
Facts and figures we're at hand.
and plenty OF them, to demonstrate
that taking series if years together
that the hall should be self-support-
ing. and pay for the proposed
changes without imposing direct
tax, and that should the coming
series of entertainments have bal
ance on the right side of the ledger,
the balance should 60 towards bear

pairing the hall.

Upon the recommendation of Mr..
Roberts, the director of the mint the
secretary of the treasury has approved
the design for the new Lafayette silver
dollar submitted by the Lafayette
memorial association. On one side of
the dollar will be the heads of Wash
ington and Lafayette, and on the
other are representations of the monu-
ment to Lafayette to be erected in
Paris in 1900 The wording will be the
same as on the standard dollar except
that the words Lafayette dollar" will
be substituted for lone dollar" A ques
ton has arisen as to the authority of
the government to coin in 1899 dollars
be aring the date 1900 but it is thought
that the difficulty can be overcome
readily. The issue is limited by law
t. 80, 900 one dollar pieces, but it is the
expectation that the association will
realize a much greater amount from
their sale the minimum price having
been fixed at 81 each. For the first coin
issued several thousand dollars are ex-
pected to be realized.

The most common of all human ailments
is deranged digestion: the most aggraVatlng
disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In
sidious in its nature, varied in its forms 1t
tortures its victims, battles the skill of ply
sicians and the power of medicine.
The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack OF
vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss
of the life-sustaining elements of the blood.
1t is truism that no organ can properly
perform it's function when the source of
nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one
hand and over-taxed on the other. When
the stomach is robbed of the nOurishment
demanded by nature, assimilation ceases I'M
natural gases are generated, the entire sys-
tenn responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 44O Hickory st.,
Scranton, Pa
In telling his story Mr.. Vandyke says,
give years ago, | was attilcted with
trouble of the stomach, which was very
aggravating. I had no appetite, could not
enioy myself at any time, and especially
was the trouble severe when l awoke IN the
morning | did not know what the allment
was but it became steadily worse and was
in constant misery.

diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach.

ton filed | took nearly all Of the medi-

and I felt that my condition was hopeless.

FACTS AS THEY ARE.

Frank Day, of the Fairmont Sentinel,
after giving the matter considerable
study has come to the conclusion that
Congressman McCleary Will be his own
successor in Congress next year. 1t is
most painful for Frank to thus &C
knowledge what he sees to be the in
evitable, for since he received such a
severe political pommeling at the polls
by our present Congressman in 1896, it
has been gall and wormwood for him
to note Mr.. McCleary's movements in
high places, and he has lost no chance
to misrepresent the Second district
Congressman on all occasions. Now
Mr.. McCleary needs no newspaper de-

has. The Free Press simply desires at
this time to call attention to two or
three of the vindictive misrepresenta-

is entirely mistaken. In his screed
published in last weeks Sentinel Mr..
Day says: cit is not at all certain that

The Princeton Union calls attention
to the fact that when the legislature
adjourned it left about 100 bills for the
governor to sign or veto, according as
his Judgment dictated. Under these
circumstances the governor becomes the
whole legislature, since it rests entirely
with him to say whether or not an act
passed by the legislature becomes law
there being no opportunity to pass bill
over his veto. 1t would be very good
thing to have a Republican governor
particularly under these circumstances.

st. Paul, May 16.-The campaign cry
of the Democratic party next year will,
according to the leaders of the party, be
free silver, free trade and anti-expan-
sion, OF these three issues the last will
undoubtedly be the one on which the
greatest stress will be laid. Mckinley
and his administration is to be maligned
and abused for the policy in dealing
with the Philippine problem and the
Republican party is to be paraded be-
fore the people as malefactors of the
race. The Republicans can do nothing
wiser than to encourage the Democrats
and Populists to carry out this pro-
gram. The people of this country who,
without regard to party affiliations,
want to do what is best not only for
the islands which have become our
charge but for the best of the United
States, will without question rally to
the support of Mckinley. The present
administration will remain in power
until the questions which have arisen
through holy war are satisfactorily
solved.

H J. Miller, editor of the Rock

ly to task in vigorous editorial on the
governors attitude with regard to the
Thirteenth Minnesota "Gov. Lees let
ter TO the president demanding the re-
call of the South Dakota troops, and
the echosof that demagogic screed from
Minnesota may" says Editor Miller, ''be
used as campaign documents in the next
campaign, but it is highly improbable
that they will be used from Democratic
headquarters. An official declaration
which the patriotism of Texas con-
dennis is not likely to be received with
high favor in Minnesota" Continuing,
the editorial says in part: "a fair OPP
portunity to test the sentiment of the
people of Minnesota and South Dakota
in respect to the policy of the admins
tration in discharging the duties which
Dewey ssplendid achievement Manila
harbor forced upon it would certainly
give to Gov. Lee and Gov. Lind a con-
ception of American patriotism very
different from that which they seem to
have. 1t is doubtless perfectly safe to
say that our volunteers will gladly re-
main in the Philippines as long as there
is any fighting to do, and that for every
one called home thousand brave boys
are ready and willing to take their
places if the necessities of the govern
ment require their services"
