Ellsworth on the Eve Of q
Lively Boom.
Two Industries Which Will EN-
plOy Many Men.
TO EVAPORATE SALT.
Machinery For the Plant Has
Been Purchased.
U. s. Elevator and Cold Storage
Another Investment.

Ellsworth. March THE Ellsworth
salt evaporating plant is now assured
The company is composed of men thor
oughly conversant with the salt indus
try, and it will be independent of the
salt trust. The machinery to get the
salt is on the way, and experienced men
are on the ground to commence opera
tons.
The claim is freely made here that
Ellsworth is the first town in the state
to discover salt, although this is the
first attempt to get at it. One of tie
prime movers to interest capital to de-
velop the Ellsworth salt industry is f.
w. Wellington, who is now and has
been for many years one Of the hardest
workers the town has ever had. With
this enterprise in full operation and the
completion of others now underway is
confidently predicted will add from $50
to 200 to the population Of Ellsworth in
the next three or four months.

Summary Of Appropriations
Made by Last Congress.

Washington, March Representative
Cannon, chairman of the house COM
rmittee ON appropriations, and Represen-
tative Livingstone. the senior Demo-
cratic member of the committee, have
prepared statements of the appropria-
tions for the F'ifty-sixth congress, which
will be printed in the Record. Both
place the total appropriations at 81 ,440,-
062.545. placing those for the first ses-
sion at $710. 1852. and for the second at
$729. 81, 6Ss.
Mr. Cannon publishes a table show
ing the expenditures of the previous
congress at 1.56s. 212, 637, and Mr.. Liv-
ingstone makes a comparison with the
Fifty fourth congress. which appropri-
ated $1.044,5s0.273. In his statement Mr.
Cannon says:
The appropriations Of the session just
closed aggregate, as nearly as can be
ascertained. at this time, $729, 81. 683.

sinking fund. The increase over the ap-
preparations made at the first session
of this congress is less than $50, 600, 600;
and this sum.is more than accounted by
the increase of $10,124, 450 made on ac-
count of the postal service, and by $13,-
513,057 in the bill that provides for the
maintenance of our navy and for the
construction of arnor and armament of
the new ships Of the navy. One large
item IS the appropriation of 100000
authorized by legislation at the first
session OF this congress for the St.
Louis exposition.
The total appropriations made at the
two sessions of this. the Fifty sixth con-
gress, are $128. ,092 less than the ap-
preparations made during two regular

Advice of a Famous Physician.

Advice OF a Famous Physician.
First and foremost REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have it. If the attack is severe, 20 to
bed and remain there. More fatali-
ties result from neglect of this pre-
caution than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive or
gans are in no condition to take care
of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty Of pure, cold water.
It aIlays the fever, stimulates the kid
neys to action and opens up the pores
of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DIR. Miles, Nerve and Liver Pulls.
Take three doses of DR.. Miles, Nerv-
inc per day, and il you cannot sleep
take an extra dose at bed time. To
further control the fever, and to over
come the peculiar aches and pains Of
grip, use DR.. Miles Pain PilIs. They
act quickly and sfectually. and no had
effects result from their use. These
remedies have been thoroughly tested
more than million times, and their
efficiency is thoroughly established.
They never fail to give relief.
DR.. Milos' Remedies can be found
at any drug store, and they are sold on
positive guarantee that first bottle
or package benefits or money re-
funded.
