GRIP THAT FAILED
NARROW ESCAPE OF A WE'LL KNOWN FARMER AND
 HoRSEMAN.
One of the Worst Assaults Known Jchn H. Robinson Attacked Three
 Times and Given Up for Dead.

An encounter with highwaymen on q lonely road in Duchess Co.,, ". r., would have been preferable to the experience through which Mir. John H. Robinson. of Manchester Bridge, N. H.. actually pass 1 ed. In the former case he would doubt less have been quickly relieved of his watch and money, and would have been left in a more or less bruised and daxed state by the roadside But the loss of valuables would have been relatively small, and within a few days he would have recovered from injuries and shock. Besides, such an attack would not be soon, If ever repeated.
 As 1t was, however, the assaults frord | which he suffered occurred three times, cost him great loss of time and money and brought him to the very verge of death. Told by himself. his story is as follows:
 T was attacked three times during | three years by grip, complicated with pneumonia. and my sufserings were tef- rible. I had some of the best physicians in the country, but none of them could give me any relief from the fearful pains in the back of my head. just at the base of the skull. For two weeks I was SO | low that no one, except the doctor ana my wife. was permitted to come into my room, and once I was given up for dead
 How did you finally get on your feet:' asked the reporter
 why. I happened to read of two eases | of grip that had been cured by pr. Wl- Hams Pink Pills for Pale People, so l got a box. After I had taken one box felt much better, and three boxes cured me completely"
 Have you had the grip sheer"
 "Yes, just once. a few years later, but a few doses of the same pills cured me again"
 Do you recommend this remedy to others?"
 q do, indeed: because I know the medi- cine is a grand good thing. No one ever had the grip worse than did unless he died. It was the only thing that saved my life"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are such ar excellent remedy for the grip and its af'
 ter-enects, because they expei poisoil
 from the blood and supply tonic and nu. tritive elements to every organ and tissue They quicken the appetite. improve the digestion, give strength to weak nerves and, in short, forward all the processes that tend to rapid and complete recov' cry. Hence rheumatism. anaemia, head aches dizziness, nervous iFritability and prostration rapidly disappear and tho system is fortified against 6 recurrencs of the original trouble. One of the most | striking results of the use of pr. VII Hams Pink Pills in cases of influenza il that the depression. which Is such try ing characteristic of the disease. and which often takes a suicidal phase. t succeeded by elasticity of spirits. Init great remedy Is sold by all druggist throughout the world.

DOCTOR DID TT.
Put On 3e lbs. by food.

Feed a physician back to health and he gains an experience that he can use 60 benefit others. For this reason, Grape Nuts food is daily recommended to pa tlents by hundreds of physicians who have cured themselves of stomach trouble. One doctor says.
 Although physician and trying to aid and assist my fellow beings to enjoy good health, 1t must be admitted I formerly did not enjoy the best of health myself. In January, 1899, I only weighed u9 pounds. At this time was living in the Ohio Valley and began to think 1 had about seen my best days. One day about three years ago l had an opportunity to try Grape-Nuts food for my breakfast I liked 1t so well that ate three teaspoon fuls three times a day and have regularly used 1t up to the present time, and I now weigh 155 a gain of 36 pounds, and enjoy the best of health.
 Not only has Grape-Nuts made thi. wonaerfuI change in me, but through II have helped my friends relatives and patients. The sustaining power of this food is simply wonderful
 T have one patient who is a sectlor hand on the c. and O. R. R., who eat! nothing ih~the morning but four table spoOnfuls of Grape-Nuts and yet does hi. very hard work up to lunch time and en joys the best of health and strength,
 'I could name a great many cases lik, this and I still prescribe Grape-Nuts ii my practice every day" Name given b, Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

THE LEAP YEAR DANCE

The Leap Year Dance given in the Mid
dletown Opera House by the young lad
les OF this town on Thursday evening was
the social event of Easter week, and one
around which much interest has centered
for several days. The young ladies out
did themselves in their cordial hospital-
ity and most excellent entertainment,
and the large number of guests from a
distance had nothing but words Of praise
for the able manner in which the bril-
liant affair was managed. The opera
house was generously decorated with pot
ted plants, flags, ETC., and Afbert's Or
chestra of five pieces discoursed its sweet
est music. The floor was in excellent con-
dition and from $50 until 2.3O the dane
ers INDUCED in waltzes snd two-steps,
there being but two square dances on the
program Of twenty y-four numbers. This
was one OF the finest dances given in Mid
dletown for many years and reflects
much credit upon the committee. The
gowns worn by the ladies were the daint.
lest creations of the modist's art, and sell
dom is such scene Of youth and beauty
witnessed here. During the intermission
light repast of sandwiches and coffee
was served. The committee in charge
who deserve SO much credit for the sue
cess OF the dance was Miss Dora Price,
Miss Mary G. Williams, Miss Grace FL.
Parvis and Mrs. j. G. Sites. The dance
was graced with the following floor COM
mittee: Miss Mary Shallcross, Miss Julia
Lockwood, Miss Louise Cochran and
Mrs. j. C. Sites.

LEVY couRTs GOOD RECORD

New Castle County is in the best fnan-
cial condition for many years, the amount
Tuesday reported in bank to the credit
of the county being $2l8, ,20i8l. This
is i'm striking contrast with the county's
financial condition four years ago when
the present Levy Court assumed control
was bankrupt, and was being managed
on money borrowed to tide over until
the new fiscal year would bring in revenue
from taxes. There is every indication
now that the county tax.rate will be
lowered in June, which will be welcome
news to property owners. They already
have had come relief because of the
economical management Of the county
by the present Levy Court, but county
business has been transacted so iudici-
ously that the money in bank has BEEN
accommodating steadily without the
county's interest suffering in any way
The present Levy Court has made an
enviable record. each member bringing
into county affairs the same policy that
he might pursue in a personal business,
which accounts in great measure for
the gratifying financial condition now
existing Method under the Republican
rule has supplanted the mismanagenent
OF Democratic times that plunged the
county heavily into debt and created
deficits instead OF a substantial bank ac-
count.
At present the county tax rate is IS
cents on the 500 of assessed valuation,
but members of the court are looking for
ward to reducing this to 60 cents on the
$780, and possibly to 55 cents on the
500. Il is realized that too great re-
duction cannot be made, as enough rev.
enue must be obtained to give the county
money for emergency use, and to meet
unanticipated financial expenses. Tie
present court has made two reductions
in the tax rate.
