splendid results.
"Thcy are the very best pills for all

Funny to meet like this-ain't it?"
ITS positively delightful" exclaimed
Mr.. Taggett. His one desire was to get
Cornelius away from so public place,
where chance remark might be made
at any moment, which would show the
old man that the girl was there. There
was still a possibility that his state
ment was true, and that he had not
come in search of her. Therefore. he
added, in a tone of CHEEKY welcome:
But come, we cannot talk in comfort
here; come up to my room-the apart

Taggett was with rae?"
NO don't think you did," said Cor
nelius with much gravity.
"Oh, yes-she's here; we are per-
forming in sort of worthless drama
for a little time together; the patrons
of that kind of work clamor for me,
and I can practically secure my own

degree, for Mrs. Taggett, whose charms
appeal to- them strongly. But come up

To use them until some other relief
was secured or the insane taken away"
Words fail to describe the condi-
tions found. No one can realize the
situation without visiting the place.
Common decency. every human i'm
pulse. should urge voters to authorize
the levyinG of the tax. If hundred
thousand dollars were asked, and the
people of the county were familiar
with the situation. no one would hesi-
tatc. From an individual the amount
is nothing. 1t is the price of a good
meal to a man who pays taxes on
81. 900.
No attempt is made to be pathetic
or work upon the tender compositions
of the people. What Ia sought TO do
Is to get the exact facts before the
readers of the News-Democrat that
they may vote intelligently The de-
manG is imperative. No one with a
spark of feeling would hesitate mo-
nient if properly informed. The facts
above stated are but an iota of the
real truth. Space forbids details.
PATHETIC SIGHTS.
In tn? infirmary are persons of in
telligenCe and culture. They have
every feeling that animates the heart
of the more unfortunate. There are
sweet faced women. with hair as white
as snow, who are crowded like cattle
in with those who are half witted or
reprlsiye in their habits. All sorts
of conditions exist and cannot be sep
arated under present conditions.
Do the people of Stark county want
this condition to continue? Surely
their humanity would suggest other
wise. 1t is not necessary to reiterate
what has been said about the half not
being told. or refer to the cattle or
horses that are better housed. Tie
public Is familiar with all that.
Let the people do their duty on Mon
day. or blush because they have voted
to continue conditions that are worse
than those in heather lands.
Remember that If you fail to vote.
your vote is recorded against the prop
osition. Put your X opposite the "Yes"
on the ballot.
