for taxes and the plaintiff seeks an %injunc.
ton to prevent the selling of the stock,
alleging that the taxes are illegal, be.
cause levied by Mercer county in unor.
gained territory. 1t is the contention
of the county that the territory has be.
com part of Mercer county. and the
taxes become legal, whether the law
adding to the county was legal or not
because of the fact that school districts
have been created. debts incurred, and
other things done that would make it ar
injustice to set aside the taxes.

This week Maine held a state
election and the returns show a
republican majority OF over 10000,
which is a much better showing
than the party had expected to
make. In 1896 the republican ma
jority was $4,000, much beyond all
expectation; but the normal ma
jority of the state is 10000, and as
Maine had been looked upon as
the strong hold of anti-expansion
in the East, it was presumed that
the republican majority this year
might be comparatively small
The vote shows, however, that the
gold democrats have returned to
some extent to their party but
that the republicans are loyal to
the Mckinley administration.

AN effort is being made to get
the N. P. to grant a special rate to
ranchmen who may desire to ship
in carload lots of ground feed.
In case of a severe winter, the
stockmen will need feed of this
kind to carry their calves, heifers
and cows through; otherwise there
would undoubtedly be large losses
in this class of stock. Therefore
it is of vital importance to the
ranchers to get a rate on feed that
will enable them to lay in a good
supply of grain feed, and it is also

The Secret Service has unearthed an

a large quantity of bogus bills, which are
so cleverly executed that the average

always selected by counterfeiters for i'm

Stomach Bitters, which has so many
imitators but no equals for indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness

AS the mosquito is night worker,
the doctors will quit their houses only
when the insects are off duty, and then
they will protect themselves from the
danger of being stung by a chance
mosquito.
Few people have correct impression
of the frightful ravages of malaria. II
is the great disease of the tropics. 1t
is the principal cause of sickness and
death there, and of social stagnation.
1t, and practically it alone, is the rea-
son why Africa is the Dark Continent.
why some, in fact most, of the fairest
and most fertile regions of the earth
are but bowling wildernesses covered
with worthless jungle and inhabited
only by wild beasts and a sprinkling of
wilder men. Five millions of people die
annually of fever, principally malarial
in British India alone. That figure
heavy though it is, gives no idea of the
amount of suffering, of invalidism and
poverty caused by this one disease.

Of the staple, has tended 10 weaken

Adyices from the dry goods trade are
OF backward demand at retail, affecting
orders in many lines. but cotton goods
production is still heavy.
The boot and shoe market is dull
