his seat, while suppressed laugh passed over the House. It was evident Dea Brown preferred to make his peti- tions to the Deity in private, as he failed to respond. MT Brown has scored notable success as a hotel man, the Loomarwick having an enviable name and being crowded every season. He has an able helper in his talented and energetic wife, who was the daughter of the late MT Cramsay. It is as good as circus to hear the genial Mir Brown discourse on favorite theme. Last fall MT Brown made the run for the Legislature along with Robert Watts The "Deacon' didn't want the nomi- nation but took it and fell 100 behind, while MT Watts was elected. The writer met him at New Preston the day after election, and in all his life he never laughed so long or so hearty as he did on hearing the "Deacon" discourse on the treachery of politics.
 It was better than hearing Artemus Ward, Josh Billings or Bill Nye, and
 we wouldn't have missed it for a S5 bill. MT Brown has host of friends
 who will wish him long life and Suc- l cess. As long as he conducts the LOOmarwick success will follow him, that's Sure

AGELIr1ITATION.

There is growing sentiment which precludes old age from enjoying the benefits of choice positions in the bus mess world. Youth is everywhere pre- ferred. In this respect Electric Bitters is different. It benefits old and young alike. Rev c. J. Budlongof Ashaway, R. l. writes, "I want everybody to know what Electric Bitters is. It cured me of jaundice and liver trouble from which 1 suffered for years. It's a great tonic and nervine and cures liver, kidney and stomach troubles. ; Only soc and guaranteed by R. H.

To Help Others.
THE WORTHY OBJECT OF ALDER- MAN HOSKEN'S DAUGHTER.
NOT A CHARITY BUT DESIRE TO DO SOMETHING IN THE INTEREST OF HUMANITY-HERS STATEMENT.

Miss Rhetha Hosken, only daugh- ter of Alderman John Hosken, of No. 634 Cherry street, Grand Rapids, Mich, with the worthy object of help- ing others, makes the following state ment:
 "I was partially paralyzed, bereft of speech and unable to walk without support. My parents had given up all hope of my ever being well, for the best physicians had treated me without helping my case. We all thought I was doomed to die.
 "The paralysis was over my entire left side and so affected my organs of speech that I could hardly make my simplest wants understood. With the assistance of chair 1 could manage to get across the room, but was near ly helpless.
 My trouble began with what the doctors call poverty of the blood and l kept growing weaker and weaker in prospects seemed darkest, my mother decided to give up all other medicines and to take Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. They acted like mag ic. In less than week after I began their use, I found I was improving. We were all overjoyed. I continued with Dr Williams Pink Pills and the dreadful paralysis disappeared, my strength returned and I became the healthy girl am to-day. Everybody who knew me regards my recovery as simply marvellous. I am always glad in the interest of humanity to tel what Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People did for me-"
 Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are unlike other medicines because they act directly on the bloot and nerves. This makes them invalu able in such diseases as locomotof ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism nervous headache, the after-effects o the grip, palpitation of the heart, pal and sallow complexions and all form of weakness either in male or female Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo , pie are sold by all dealers, or will bt sent postpaid on receipt of price, lift. cents box, or six boxes for two dollar l. and fifty cents, by addressing Dr Will , liams' Medicine Company, Schenecta dy, N.

IDEA" FRANK BROWN.

= IDEA" FRANK BROWN.
 Among the citizens of New Preston there are not many more genial or hearty in their greeting than Frank Brown, of Loomarwick hotel fame, who by common consent has come to be known as "Dea" Brown. This dignitied and honorable title did not descend upon him as a gift from any religious or ecclesiastical body, but came rather by accident. The story goes that when MT Brown was in the Legislature along in the eighties, Senator Lyman went into the House and took a seat beside the speaker. "The Chaplain isn't here this morn ing," said the speaker. "What shall I do?" "Call on 'Dea' Brown," said MT Lyman with laugh, not supposing he would do so. The speaker took the cue and, whacking the gavel for order, said: "In the absence of Chaplain
 we will be led in prayer by Dea Brown" "Dea" Brown grew all colors of the rainbow, but remained frozen to

A "Dlvine" Tree.

The divine" trees Of India are com
monty freaks OF nature. for instance,
two trees OF different species united
by a kind Of natural grating. There
is a very good example at Colombo,
in the Island OF Ceylon. where a slen'
der and graceful borassus palm can
be seen growing out OF the heart OF
the banyan. or Indian fig tree.
The trunks Of these alien trees are
SO strongly Joined that only vioie ce
can separate them. and 1t will not es-
cape the attention of the reader that
the aspiring palm is protected against
the fury OF the wind by the sturdy
branches Of the surrounding fg tree.

RAISED FRANCHISE
Illinois Central's Assessment
Boosted by Board.
Claimed it Gan BE Charged Franchise
Tax on Leased
Road.
SIMILAR CONTROVERSIES ARISE

Frankfort. KY, June 6-The state
board OF valuation and assessment ID
considering the objections of the iii
nois Central Railway company to the
proposition Of the board to increase
its annual assessment from $4,000,
600 of last year to si3, 900. 900.
SHE controversy between the oompa-
ny hinges ON tbc question whether or
not the Chicago st. Louis and New
Orleans railway shall be assessed a
franchise tax this year. Heretofore
this road has not been so assessed, and
John W. Ray. the attorney for tie
board. raised the polnt chat the road
was liable for such assessment.
The Illinois Central is corporation
organized under the laws of Illinois,
and its charter prohibits 1t from run
1ing line of railroad ontisde of that
state.
The Chicago. 81. Louis and New
Orleans railway is q Kentucky corpo-
ration, and by an act Of tine Legislature
in 1894 IL was given permission to
lease its line to the Illinois Central for
a period of 400 years, the said Illinois
Central 20 pay all taxes, become liable
for all indebtedness incurred in oper-
sting the line, and to maintain all
tracks and rolling stock. This line Of
road extends from Louisville 10 Mem
phis, with branches TO Bowling Green,
Hopkinsville and Cairo, Ill.
The Kentucky railroad commission
assessed the value OF the Illinois Cen.
trial this year at $40, 0sl, 900.
The same controversy arises in the
case of the Chesapeake and Ohio. which
operates 81 miles of leased road from
the Louisville and Nashville between
Louisville and Lexington and which
seeks to prevent the board from assess
ing franchise tax against IL. II the
board is sustained in both cases, 10
will increase the taxable property Of
the ate "a, 900, 900.
The state board Of valuation has
placed the valuation of the Louisville
Water company at %, 900, 900, which
is an increase Of nearly $4,000, 900
over the valuation Of last year.
The board was unanimous in its
but has not yet assessed
the franchise tax.
The members of the board evidently
took into consideration the many ex-

court for alleged criminal assault on
James Crowell's wife. He is so and
she is 30. Feezor was helping Crow
ell ser tobacco and was drawing plants
when Orowell sent his wife, who was
also helping. to tell Feozor that he
had enough plants drawr,and TO bring
ON Whist he had, aud il was at the to-
bacco bed that the attempt was made.
Mrs. Orowell Immediately went and
told her husband what had happened,
and took the gun, which her husband
had with him to kill some squirrels,
and started after Feezor. Her hus-
hand took the gun away froE her and
would not let her go.
Feezor seemed very Indifferent
about the circumstances and made no
atempt to give the $500 bond required.
The court out OF sympathy asd res
peo for the mans age and previous
good reputation redrced the bond to
$500, but still Feezor would not try to
give it, telling them he could not give
q 90 bond and to let him go to Jail.
He was lodged in Jail Saturday night,
but friends persuaded him to give
bond Sunday morning which he did.
Many think the old man insane or
