81 cannot speak 10 highly of your remedies
and will always tell my friends how much
they have done for my husband and myself
for sudden attacks of headaches, neuralgia
and rheumatic pains. There is nothing

very little trouble in that way. My husband
has also taken these remedies and praises
them very highly. We always have some OF

feel that we could get along without them
Mrs. KATE X. JOHNSON, McClellandsville,
Delaware.
There are many reasons why you should
take DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. but the best
reason is that they will give you almost instant
relief from headache or other pain. In cases
of chronic headache, when the sufferer knows
an attack is coming on, Pain Pill will usu-
ally prevent it entirely. In cases OF extreme
nervous exhaustion, when the brain is too
tired and the body too nervous to rest, an
Anti. Pain Pill will sooth the nerves SO that
sleep may come. They never fail, yet con-
tain no opiates and are non-laxative.
All druggists sell and guarantee DR.. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills. They are non laxative; con-
tain no opiates, never sold in bulk, IS doses,
IS cents. DR.. Miles Medical Co.. Elkhart, Ind

MONEY FOUND.
Evident That Alonzo Pigeon Was Not
Murdered at Huntington.

Evident That Alonzo Pigeon Was Not
Murdered at burlington.
1t is evident that Alonzo Pigeon of
Vergennes was not murdered at Burling-
ton as many have supposed as his money,
$3.50, has been found in his trunk at
Panton. The Free Press says:
The mystery surrounding the dsap
pearance of the $3.50 which was supposed
to have been deposited in savings bank
or should have been found on the person
OF Alonzo Pigeon, who was found dead
in the Russell house, Burlington, has at
last been cleared up. Saturday Henry
DanyOu of Addison, father in-law of the
deces sed, went to Thomas Buffers in
Panton, where the dead man had recently
been employed, to claim and take posses
sion of hi- effects. Before leaving the
house he opened a trunk which belonged
to Pigeon and looking over the contents
found in Il compartment of the cover
commonly used for collars and cuffs $40
together with the missing revolver,
which ii was supposed he had with him.
The above amount with what was found
on his person and the money which it is
known he gave away and with an allow
ance for what he might have spent would
account for all the money he was pos
sessed of before he left this city for Bur-
lington.
1t has been learned that Pigeon suf-
fered sometimes from acute attacks of
heart trouble. Whether that had any
thing to do with the cause of his death
or his being found dressed and in the
position in which his body laid is a sub
ject for conjecture. Probably the mys-
terry surrounding his death will never be
! solved.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES
FAVORS BATTELL BILL.

The Burlington Free Press, although
1t favored passing the committees bill
over to the people in order to redeem the
party pledge, still insists that its personal
choice is the Battell bill. Regarding the
effect of saloons in Burlington it says ::
"We believe that the opening of saloons
in any city in Vermont will be followed,
as has been universally the case in
Massachusetts. by a heavy increase in
the sales of liquor, three or fourfold
increase In the amount of drunkenness !;
a large increase in pauperism and crime,
and serious decrease in the value of
real estate. 1t will probably be more
damaging TO Burlington, as an educa-
tional center, than TO any of the other
cities in our state.-EXchange.

TRUE REPU BLICANS.

Every man of the minority part of the
temperance committee is a republican
who has the interests of his party at
heart and in the past has given his
energy to the benefit of the party. This
paper never advocated the Battell bill.
1t has never been in sympathy with the
Ross bill. But it is not so bigoted and
mean that it will not allow others to
have opinions of their own and to act on
them as their judgment dictates.

will be entitled to five licensed saloons.

A New Departure.

A very important movement is under
consideration by the ladies of Leon
which if successful, will certainly work
great good to the town. 1t is no less
than the project Of the organization of a
Village Improvement society.
A reciprocity meeting Of all the
women's clubs of the city was planned
for and was most successfully carried
out at the home Of Mrs, K. L. Parrish
last Friday, at which the subject was
thoroughly discussed and considered.
Months had been spent in preparation
for this meeting to the end that all pos
sible information might be gained and
laid before the same. Inquiry had been
made of other towns which have such
societies and the results were presented
in such way as to inspire all with con.
fidence as to the feasibility and desir-
ableness of Just such an organization in
Loon.
Papers were read by members present
as follows: "Village improvement in
Our Neighboring Cities" Mrs. Cum.
minis; 'What Village Improvement May
do for Education" Mrs. Lew Jackson;
"Would Village Improvement Society
be Feasible in Leon" Mrs. G. M
Ketcham. These papers are so instruc-
tive and suggestive that for the benefit
of all interested we take pleasure in pre-
senting them to out readers at the re-
quest of the meeting as whole. A
committee composed of nine ladies was
selected as an executive body represent
ing the woman's clubs and the public
spirited non.club women of the town
and this committee met at the home Of
/. Mrs. j. w. Harvey Saturday afternoon
and formulated plans for further action.
The cooperation OF the town council
is to be earnestly invited in the further
ance of the good cause Us is also that Of
every good citizen, man, woman and
child. When the preliminary plans are
perfected mass meeting is to be called
for the purpose of organization. This
will probably be within two or three
weeks and due notice of same will be
given later. Following is the pape,
read by Mrs. Cummins last Friday,
Other papers will appear later. II

ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY.
State Board will insist on As.
sessing Property at'its
Actual Value.

The state executive council has revised
the instructions to assessors, laying
especial emphasis on the need of assess
ing property at it's actual value. The
council is looking forward to next July
when it will sit asa board of review, and
it hopes not to be compelled to increase
the assessments on real and personal
property as returned to it from the
counties. In the new instructions the
council will call attention to the fale
that it has information that the taxable
value Of much real property is from 16
to lS per cent instead of % per cent of
the actual value, as the law requires.
Section 1905 of the code, which re.
quires property to be assessed at its real
value will be quoted. County auditors
and assessors will be asked to devote es.
pecial attention to obtaining correct
assessment under this section of the
code. Notice will be given that unless
the assessment is put at the right STAN
dard, the council sitting as board Of
review will djust it, as it has the power
to do by the code. The instructions
were framed and will be prepared for
issue by Auditor Merriam, and by him
sent, out to the auditors and assessors.
Another cnange in 1.-The. instructions
decided on bv the council was that auto:
mobiles should be included in the same
class as bicycles and vehicles.
