NERVOUS HEADACHE
MARRIED A YOUNG w0MAN's HAP.
PINEss FOR SEVEN YEARS.
Interfered with Her Social Duties and
Threatened TO Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.


ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures Of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like q nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or a band tight
ening about It. At one time 1t is all in
the top of the head, at another 1t is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state Of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and thenerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one Of the COM
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid Of the
diseased condition Of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years was n
great sufferer from nervous headachs and
dizziness. Ny stomach was disorderod,
and became 90 restless that could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizzinesa
interrupted my work greatly. Al first
the attacks wero not 20 severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became 90 acute that / was on the point
Of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which / be-
longed."
f. what saved you from that necessity
"a very simple thing; the call Of a
member of one Of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before giving up. acted on her suggss-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKennA is secretary of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, aud resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength TO the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.

HINSDALE, N. H.
Old Board Of SeIectmen Elected
at the Annual Town Meeting
Walter II. Barrett Elected Road Agent,
Receiving 129 Votes Against 90 for Fred
Chandler.

Walter II. Barrett Elected Road Agent,
Receiving 1923 Votes Against 90 for Fred
Chandler.
Town meeting passed off with scarcely
ripple of excitement. Edelbert j. Tenn
pie was elected town clerk by the casting
of one ballot. The old board of selectmen
were reelected, namely, James O'Brien,
Fred A. Buckley and Emerson j.
Richards, Messrs. O'Brien and Richards
having unanimous vote and Mr.. Buck
ley received a good majority over his only
opponent, Ezra b. Pike. There was a
little anxiety over the road agency, Wal
ter II. Barrett and Fred Chandler be-
ing the candidates. Mr.. Barrett received
1923 votes against 90. 1t was voted that
the chief Of the fire department should
be appointed by the selectmen. Edwin
c. Robertson was elected auditor by the
casting of one vote. The collection of
taxes, II was decided, should go to the
lowest bidder, who was George Britton
for $3.50. Mr.. Britton, however, failed to
get the election and f. o. Packard bid
them of the second time fon $3.50 and he
was elected. Then came the regular ap-
preparations of money, as follows: $1,000
for the payment of ordinary town charges;
5000 for the support OF the poor; $500 for
the maintenance OF the fire department
and $3.50 for new hose; {2250 for the sup
port OF the high school; 1880 for lighting
streets; 500 for support OF the library
and reading room; $500 and the license
money Approximately $4,000 to reduce
the floating debt, $50 for sprinkling the
streets near the town hall and the village
school buildings. and $3.50 in addition to
the amount required by law for high
ways which additional appropriation en-
titles the town to a state aid OF 1885 for
permanent improvements according to a
new law passed at the legislature this
year The article in regard to reducing
the expense OF the police court proved to
be the most exciting question OF the dav.
After somewhat heated discussion Il
was voted to discontinue the salary of
500 which the judge has heretofore re-
ceived, and in the future his compensa-
ton will consist OF the bare fees. All the
other articles in the warrant were in
definitely postponed.

Drifting from Prohibition.

A magazine article Of uncommon in
terest is that by Frank Foxcroft In the
March Atlantic on the Drift away from
Prohibition. Considering the contradic-
tory facts that there is a growing SEN
timent in favor OF temperance, and thai
strict prohibition laws have been repealed
in many states, Mr. Foxcroft shows thai
these are reconciled by the growing be-
lief in the advantages of local option. He
has studied the operation OF the loca
option laws in many towns in New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, and comes at the enc

Some calculation, which would be i'm

which the Standard oil interests have

influence. The New York Evening Post

These railroads embrace about two
thirds of the total mileage of the country
and they do not include the great Pennsyl-
vania system of above IL 900 miles, in
which the same financial group are sup
posed to be accommodating a large interest
This exhibit is of a character to put be-
yond much Of any question, the state
ment which is frequently made, that the
railroads OF the United States are prac-
tically under the direction Of half dozen
men-private citizens holding themselves
under no obligation to represent or for
ward any other interests than those of
their own and the pockets Of the indi-
viduals whom they represent 1t is with
in the power of these half dozen men, by
a slight and almost imperceptible advance
in the rate, or by a change in freight
classifications, which few people would be
able to understand, to impose a tax upor
the country amounting to tens of millions
of dollars yearly-to divert In almost I'M
limited extent the property of the many
to the pockets of the few.
The country is being told by many
newspapers, congressman and others that
it would be dangerous to lodge in gov
eminent commission of five or seven men
the power to regulate and adjust railroad
rates. But il that would be a dangerous
power in the hands of seven men moved
by no other interest than to establish fair
and reasonable dealings between the
railroads and the great body Of people
constituting their patrons, how much
more dangerous must it be when pos
sessed by seven private citizens actuated
by selfish interests exclusively.
In the light of the facts OF the case
what holiness of the oligarchical spirit
enters into this opposition to government
control of railroad ratesl
