AN AGGRAvATING CASE.

Everything That is Worth Having, is Worth the Effort to Get It. Noth-
 ling Can Be Achieved Without
 Effort and Patience Coupled
 With Determination Will
 Overcome Any
 Obstacle.
 With the stomach that is affected by chronic indigestion, the matter of diet is a mere incident. The gradually increasing paleness and thinness of the dyspeptic sufferer is the result of insufficient nourish- ment. The practical, sensible remedy for such a condition is to give the stomach digestive assistance rather than dose it with physic and try to stimulate it with drugs. For this purpose there is nothing superior to Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Mrs Edward Hayes, 139 Hill street, Waterbury, Conn.,, says:
 T read in the local papers about the good Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tab lets had done some of my friends here in Waterbury and so I bought a bottle at Apothecaries Hall. These tablets cured me of a bad case of indigestion in about three weeks time. I think it is the best medicine I ever used. I was unable to digest my food, and I would be seized with nervous spells that would last for hours. I took all sorts of medicines, some of which seemed to aggravate the trouble. Two bottles of Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets made me as well as ever, and I attribute my recovery to this excellent medicine and nothing else.'
 For sale by all druggists. Accept no other. Price 30 cents per bottle Made by pr Richards Dyspepsia Tablet association, 53-55 Worth street, New York city.

THE POLICE COURT.
Louis Parmelee Let Off With a Fine
 of S5 and Costs.

r Louis Parmelee of 32 Abbott ave- nue, while delivering meat in the home of Mrs Annie Coffey, 625 Bald win street, yesterday, saw briar pipe with an amber stem and gold mounting. The pipe took his eye and he took the pipe and few minutes later Mrs Coffey missed it and sent word to the police. In half an hour Detective Keegan had the young man
 in the police station. Ht found the pipe in his pocket. It was worth $6. In the city court to-day Mrs Parmelee made fearful plea for her boy. She said this is the second experience of this kind he has been in within a week. Her husband and herself are honest folks and she could not ac- count for the yellow streak in the boy. He is the only child. Judge Burpee told Mrs Parmelee that an- other offense of this kind would mean state prison for the young man. He let him off with fine of $5 and costs.

Gold Discovered Here

Geological engineers who have
probed every nook and examined
every rock formation in this sec
tion are enthusiastic over the dis
covery of gold bearing quartz in
the hillside opposite the old Bowles
mill east of Hancock and in the old
field adjoining. Specimens were
first picked up just back of the
old toll gate house and the geol-
ogists becoming interested got
down to the creek bed and founG
a cliff of good quartz. The fringe
Of hillside where The quartz pro-
trudes belongs to Mr.. Preston
Bowles, whereas the land under
which the deposit no doubt lies Is
the property Of John T. Mason.
Aslittle farther north "a similar for
nation underlies the lands of j. r..
Bridges and Preston Bowles. The
location is ideal for mining. The
Big Tonooway creek winds its
way at the foot of the hillside, sew
eral hundred feet high; making
the opening of mine or mines an
easy task. The conditions resem-
BILE those of the Klondike. Plenty
of water for washings and hydrau-
lic mining. The old hill so long
deemed barren and waste may
be the custodian of undreamed Of
wealth. We hope so.-Hancock

Inspectors Of the State Agricul,-
tural Department are making an
inspection of ali the wholesale aud
retail groceries in the State and
seeing that they conform with the
new pure food laws which have
recently been enacted and which
require that all goods displayed
for sale in bulk or packages shall
bear a guarantee of their purity
and statement of their ingredi-
ents if they are manufactured from
any substance foreign to the ori.
ginal article which they are sup
posed to present.
While the State Department has
instruction to enforce the law to
the letter, it is well understood
that it will take some time for the
grocors to dispose of the goods
which they had on hand at the time
the law went into effect and every
assistance is given to get the law
into operation as soon as possible
so that there will be no undue ac-
tivity to secure its enforcement.
As the terms of the law are very
intricate and might be misunder-
stood easily by the novice, the in
spectors have been given instruc-
tious to visit all grocers, and to
thoroughly explain all the differ
ent provisions of the law so that
any question to arise in the near
future which might cause unwar-
ranted delays in bringing its oper-
alton to the efficiency which is ex-
pected.

WHAT CAUSES HEADACHES 2

Astigmatism Is not disease, but a
defect in the shape of the eyeball such
as regulations in the curvature of
the cornea and crystalline lens. Astig
matism necessitates an irregular strain
upon the muscles in adjusting for diff
ierent objects, thus causing an exhaust
Oh nerve energy, consequently you may
readily see why this abnormal condi-
tlOn produces nervousness.
Can you not see that the constant
drain on your nerve supply weakens
lne entire nervous system, and they
end in many cases in complete nervous
prOstration? In fact there is no de.
feet in the eye which causes more dis
comfort and suffering than astigma-
tlsn, and yet peculiar feature about
astigmatism is, the people who have
1t seldom know that anything is wrong
with their eyes. They attribute all
their suffering to some other cause
lhey believe they can see as well as
anyone, and in a good many cases
they can, but the overwork is going on
Just the same, and the exhaust supply
thus affects the brain, and when you
disturb the brain, you have panied the
highest seat and center of the whole
nervous system; consequently YOU
have a daily headache, also pains ex-
tending down the back OF your neck
and shoulders which is thought TO be
neuralgia; a ringing and roaring in
the head; blood shot eye balls, stick
ing or burning sensation, feeling as
though sand was in your eyes, naus-
eating feeling of the stomach, produc-
ing vomiting spells, loss OF ppetiet
and irritability, Thereby none spent

for prescriptions and medicine to cure
your headache, neuralgia and nerv-
business, is simply money thrown away.
What you want is q properly ground
lens to overcome the muscular and
nervous strains thus placing your
eyes in a perfect focus, which produc-
es complete state of rest. Then you
have removed the cause, and your
headache ceases for good.
GUESS WORK CANNOT DO IT.
The eye is without doubt the most
delicately adjusted part of the whole
body, and the most wonderful one.
1t is impossible for one not verscd
in the science of refraction (which 10
other words means just how the light
should enter tine eye and in what pro.
portion TO give the proper correction
req uired for defective eyesight. A
great many people do not understand
what glasses are intended for. They
think they are used merely to enlarge
or magnify. That theory is entirely
wrong, that is not their object; instead
they are used to throw the light into
the eye OF the angle and depth that
will make it artiicially perfect and by
so doing the vision is improved with
ont any strain on the muscles except
that which Is neces sary in O perfect
eye. % per cent of nervous and sick
headaches come from defective eve
sight, and glasses properly fitted will
stop them entirely. The overcoming
of headaches is one of our specialties
and in no case where we have precrib.
ed glasses for this trouble have wehad
a failure.

The Near" and "Off" Horse.

Why do we speak of the "near
and ''otf" horse? Because in the
days when the driver walked be
side the horses his position was
always at the left, with his right
arm next the team, explains Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer.
Therefore in driving pair the
horse on the left was nearer than
the one on the right. The near"
horse is always the one on the
left.
