Tax.rree Towns-And Philadelphia.

There are no taxes in the town OF
Orsa, in Sweden" said an assessor
Furthermore the townspeople have
free railroad. free telephones. free
education, and free libraries. Think
OF it--not merely no taxes to swear off
and dodge and lie about, but no car
fares, no telephone fees.
I'm the French town of Chamaret
there are no taxes, either. The Cham
nret extra is Christmas blowout.
The mayor spends $500 from the town
treasury on Christmas treat to which
all the inhabitants are invited.
Monaco has no taxes, thanks to the
Monte Carlo gaming, and Klingenburg
on-the- Main owns clay pits so profit
able that they not only make every
one tax-free but afford TO each inhab-
liant small income as well.
1T is likely that Philadelphia win
some day be tax-froe. When the
Stephen Girard estate grows so big that
there will be surplus after all annual
payments are made, this surplus Is ia
be applied 10 diminishing tn. citizens
burden Of taXation'I think that is the
wording, But don't move to Philadei-
lhia light away II win be some years
before the Girard estate Is big enough
TO pay the peoples taxes"

Such men are usually high flyers, hard workers mentally, living under high pressure and high draught, and it doesn't take a great deal to disor- der the stomach or render the liver torpid
 They should make it'a practice to use some tried and reliable remedy, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, that will aid Nature, and not force it, and will take care of the sudden attacks of acute indigestion.
 The use of these tablets is not to be copfounded with the patent medicine habit. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not patent medicine, but are com posed of the very elements which Ma ture provides the healthy stomach to do the work of digestion-pepsin, diastase, golden seal, etc. There is no secret in their preparation-they are absolutely pure and therefore all the world uses them.
 No matter how disordered the stom- ach may be, it will right itself if ~iven the chance Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets digest food where the stomach can't, give the abused stomach and intestipes a rest, and offer renewed strength to the worn-out glands and muscles
 Brain workers can rely on Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, no matter how tense the strain. All druggists carry them in the ffW-cent packages or if you prefer free trial package it can be had by sending your name and ad- dress to-day. F. A. Stuart Company, 15O Stuart Building, Marshall, Mich.

HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL
Under Auspices of the Edwsed MaIley
 Members Protective Association.

That evening of cards and dancing the Malley folks propose giving at Harmonic hall on Halloween, promises to be most entertaining affair. The prize committee have already chosen upwards of fifteen handsome and use- ful articles such as opera glasses, suit case, clocks, chaflng dish, umbrella, sil- yer match safe, paper knife, military brushes, etc, to go to the winners of the whist and euchre games. These will shortly be upon exhibition in the Malley store. At the last meeting of the various arrangement committees held early in the week with John c. Riley in the chair, it was unanimously voted to eliminate pinochle and confine the card playing to whist and euchre. The ticket committee turned in a very encouraging report concerning the number of tickets disposed of and a huge success seems to be a fore-gone conclusion. Chairman Riley received the report of the various committees and took up various business details. Two most attractive programs have been prepared both for the concert and dance. Whist and euchre will be from IS to 10 p. m., dancing from 10 to 12.
 Concert Programme.
 Powder of Patches-Gavotte Inter- mezzo, Lords and Ladies, Novelette,.
 Flower Girl-Intermezzo, Loves Menu -Intermezzo. Farce, Motion, Melody.

gR0NAH PREVENTS ACCIDENT
CONNECTICUT IN DANGER
Lieutenant Puts Hand in the Breech Block, Saving
 the Vessel.

Lieutenant William P. Cronan, of this city, son of P. j. Cronan, pre- vented very serious accident on the battleship Connecticut during the re- cent target practice off the New Eng land coast, as the result of which he lost one of his fingers and had his hand badly mangled. The occur renee comes to light through the sum moning of a board Of inquiry at the New York navy yard.
 Lieutenant Cronan was in com mand of one of the eight-inch guns on the Connecticut during the target practice. As the powder charge was thrust into the gun the lieutenant mo- ticed that from a small hole in the bag a quantity of powder had escaped and fallen into the threads into which the breech block of the gun screws.
 Realizing that the action of screw ing the breech block home would ig- mite the powder before the block could be firmly screwed home, caus- ing the entire charge to explode back into the turret, Lieutenant Cronan shouted an order which stopped every man in the turret as he stood, except the man who was closing the breech of the gun. He did not hear the shout and continued to swing the block home Lieutenant Cronan sprang forward and thrust his hand into the breech of the gun. The breech closed on his hand badly managing 1t and cleanly cutting off the first finger, which fell into the grooves and caus- ed the closing mechanism to clog.
