Attention. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of the
average physician is hard one. He is of
ten compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for merely nomi-
nal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but we
do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by the
proper and judicious use of Peruna. If he
will only add this great remedy to his list
OF medicines, he will find that his useful
ness will be greatly increased. Full direc-
tions for its use will be found in the Ellis
of Life. " and he should at once procure
this valuable book. Read the following

Big Sale of Coke Property.

For some time past reports have been
current of the probability of a syndicate OBJ
tanning possession of the principal coke
works of Pennsylvania, but they have been
so emphatically denied as to rather disarm
suspicion. 1t seems, however, that de-
malls do not always mean what they say,
for on Saturday last negotiations were con-
cluded at Pittsburg for the transfer OF very
extensive coke property. The transactions
are the purchase by II. G. Frick Il Co., of
the ovens, land, &c, of A. A. Hutchinson
& Co.. known as the Standard Works, near
Mount Pleasant. The property includes
SIS ovens and LOO acres of scarce y
touched coking COAL The price paid Is
understood to be $1,000 In addition
Prick s. Co.. have secured a controlling in
terest in the Pittsburg & Connellsville Gas
Coal and Coke Company's works in Fay
cite county, including 295 ovens. For this
the price paid was 100000 This gives
Prick & Co., an enormous property OF no
less than 3,100 ovens Negotiations are
pending for the purchase by the same firm
of another coke property of 400 ovens and
1000 acres of coal land. Allowing Ia feet
space for each of the 100 ovens, Frick u
Co.. own over eight miles OF ovens. To
charge these will require 465,OOO bushels
of coal Other large purchases will soon
be effected by the same parties, and it looks
as though the coke business will soon be re-
duced to close monopoly. Exchange.
