WHAT 1T MEANS.
The Old summer Resort. Frankfort Springs,
to Have New Lease of Life-Extending
the Imperial Road.

The Old summer Resort. Frankfort Springs,
to Have New Lease of Life-Extending
the Imperial Road.
The proposed extension of the Imperial
Coal Company's railroad from Imperial to
Frankfort means more than many have any
idea. If the road is completed syndicate
composed of prominent Pittsburgers and
several New Yorkers propose to revive the
old-time prestige of Frankfort Springs,
about mile from Frankfort, as a summer
resort Their capital will be about $50, 900,
to be increased if necessary to develop the
springs.
The land on which the springs are stu
ated, with the beautiful park scenery sur
rounding them, includes about $50 acres.
The company will build a hotel, to cost
something like S25 900, and use the remain
ing sum to beautiiy the grounds.
With the proposed extension completed,
it would give direct communication with
Pittsburg and be less than an hours ride to
Frankfort. The springs are about mile
from the town and could be made easy Of
access The route would be via the Lake
Erie road to Montour Junction, about ten
miles, thence over the Imperial Coal Com
pany's line to Imperial, about II miles, and
from the latter place to Frankfort, via the
new extension, about 13 miles, making the
total distance from Pittsburg "a miles.
The scenery about the springs is said to
surpass anything near the city.
1t is the intention to dam the stream run
ming through the grounds and form lake a
mile or so long and 200 or 300 feet wide. 1t
will be just at the foot of a small mountain
gorge, and it is thought will form great
attraction.
One of the projectors said that he had
lately seen foxes, partridges, porcupines,
rabbits, grouse and other wild game in the
region. Beautiful drives will be made, run
ming out some distance from the grounds.
1t is pretty sure thing that the railroad
will be completed in the near future. Pub
lie meetings have been held by its pro-
moters in the towns on the route and con-
siderable interest manifested. The section
has no direct communication with Pitts
burg.
Frankfort Springs, in the years gone by,
was favorite resort for Pittsburgers before
railroad transportation to other points cut it
off from the world at large. The old hotel,
then used, now stands on the grounds.

STANDARD OIL DEALS
a TALK WITH a CONTRACTOR.

Among the many large corporations Of
this country the Standard Oil Company
stands out pre-eminent. This gigantic mo-
nopoly extends its arms like huge giant
over almost the entire oil field Of the
country, controlling millions Of dollars'
worth Of property and employing thousands
Of men to attend to its interests. Their in
fluence is felt from the Atlantic coast to the
far West, and daily the papers chronicle
some huge deal made by the Standard Oil
Company. Their agents are everyuhe:e.
As soon as private individual strikes
good flowing well he is soon offered price
tor it, and though he may hold ont for .
short time it soon becomes the property Of
the company. The writer had the pleasure
of meeting Mr.. j. Frank Mcdonald, Of Un-
derclife, Pa, on the Pittsburg and Western
Railroad few days ago. whois contractor
in brickwork, and had lately completed
large piece of work for the Standard com
pany. His Office and place of business is at
Sharpsburg. During q conversation Mr..
Mcdonald gave quite an interesting ac-
count OF his experience.
1t came on about two years ago" said
Mr.. Mcdonald. Exposure brought on .
cold. Alter while it seemed to leave me.
But whether it had never entirely left me,
or other exposure brought on fresh colds,
do not know. At any rate my head became
stopped up, my throat raw and uncomfort-
able, and I had continual hacking
cough
''The trouble at first seemed 70 be small,
but it steadily grew worse. I began to feel
that there was something the matter with
my nasal organs and bronchial tubes. Ny
nostrils would clog up, and there was dry,
feverish feeling inside. My throat became
very sore, and my tongue was infamed at
the root

The Committee on Public Works Unani-
mousIy Recommend If-Some Other Or.
dinances Favorably Received.
After two failures to get quorum the
Committee on Public Works finally had a
meeting yesterday, there being present the
full membership. A large number of ordi-
nances were recommended to Councils
afirmatively, among them one for the
widening of Cecil alley, between Liberty
street and Duquesne way. The petition for
the improvement and the ordinance were
read at length.
The former provides for making the alley
a street 80 feet wide, and states that the i'm
provement would open Fifth avenue out to
the Allegheny river, add materially to the
business property of the city, and relieve
the overcrowded condition of Sixth street.
No better time, the petition states, could be
taken for the improvement than now, as the
work on the new buildings at the corner Of
Fifth and Liberty streets has been suspend
ed pending the result of the petit
tion, and no other buildings on
the east line of the alley would be
materially damaged. The ordinance pro-

side of the alley, from the north side of Lib
erty street to the south side of Duquesne
way, the work to be done BY the Chief of
the Department of Public Works within 60
days of the passage of the ordinance. T. G.
jenkins, R. H. Johnston, President of the
North Sub-District School Board, John S.
Scull, Cashier of the Diamond National
Bank, and G. L. Magee, through his attor-
ney, are the signers to the petition.
There was no opposition offered to the
ordinance, and several members made brief
speeches, pointing out the benefits that
would result from making this alley busi-
ness street, as it would be if widened.
A resolution giving the Pittsburg and
Castle Shannon Railway Company the right
to cross Williams street and Bailey avenue
was referred to the City Engineer. An
ordinance granting W. Green & Co., Linn
tied, right to lay switch track on Thirty
third street was afirmatively recommended,
as were also the following:
Opening Duff street from Wylie to Bedford:
Soho street from Wylie to Mahon; Hamber
alley from kirkpatrick to Chauncey streets;
Webster avenue from Jefferson to Craig
streets; Conrad street from Penn avenue to
Breeds Hill; Evaline street from Liberty street
to Breeds Hill; Lowry street from Second ave-
Miller to Crawford; Blair street from Lowry to
Vespucius.
A number Of other ordinances for grading
streets and building sewers were recon-
mended.

About the middle of last May Miss Lottie
j. Forker, of 299 Arch street, Meadville,
Pa, placed herself under treatment by mail
with Drs. Copeland & Blair. Her trouble
had so completely involved her whole sys-
tenn as to almost entirely deprive her of the
ability to perform her duties at home. In
stating her case by letter just previous to
the date above mentioned she complained
of terrible headaches, followed by spells of
vomiting, which would compel her to lie in
bed for "a hours, after which she would be
completely worn out. Sharp pain in the
breast, extending through to the shoulder
blades, and followed by others in her stom-
ach and side.
On June 9 she wrote: "Your medicine is
doing me good, do not feel so tired, and
my head has only ached twice. and that was
caused by fresh cold caught"

though have always said that l would not
have my name in print, am quite willing that
you should make a short statement of what
your treatment has done for me. Shall be
pleased to answer any inquiries that may be
made regarding it."
Some time ago Mr.. NJ. G. Wilson, of Canons-
burg, Pa. placed himself under treatment by
mail with Drs. Copeland & Blair. His
catarrhal trouble had extended until it had
involved his whole system. In stating his case
by letter early in July he complained OF full.

taste in the mouth, coughing and raising
phlegm, d1mness of sight, sharp pains in the
chest with tight pinched feeling ana soreness

clear. l sleep well and eat we'll, and feel better
in every way" August 16 he wrote: II feel like

FEEBLE, tired women, needing a mild
strengthener and stomachic, will find gen.
erally just what they require in the use of
DR.. D. Jayne's Tonic Vermiiuge, in the
small or tonic doses. 1t corrects acidity of
the stomach, gives tone to the organs Of
digestion, improves appetite and assimiia-
ton of food, thus assisting nature in the
restoration of wonted health and strength.
Where the liver is inactive the Sanative
Pills, taken in conjunction with the Vermi-
tuge, will be of much service. The Vermi-
fuge is inexpensive, and thus within the
reach Of all; but for the above uses it will
be cheaper to buy the double or half dollar
size. Sold by all druggists.

AND HER EXPERIENCE.

Ny purchases were sent home Saturday
evening and Sunday morning came out in
my full glory. I tried to imagine that
was more comfortable than ever before in
my life, but the legiets would make their
presence felt. was conscious of their e1-
istence at all times, but determined ifpossi-
BILE to become accustomed to them. So
practiced Christian science on them for a
few days, but with no effect, they were
still unreasonable and just as anxious to lift
me off my feet as ever. Finally became
disgusted and made savings bank" of
those garments-that is, I have some S24
laid away in them which is liable to remain
there, for in the words of the poet, they fit
too soon."
However, the idea is all right and the
garments ditto, when properly made, but
profit by my experience, ladies, you who
will desire to adopt the reformed dress, and
don't go to modistes who will charge fancy
prices, secure a good seamstress who will
come to the house, then have her under your
supervision, cut and make your garments
according to the Jenness Miller patterns
and your purse. Try the whole system. If
you don't want to abolish the corset entirely
wear the Jenness Miller waist, manuiac-
tured especially for just such people, and if
your verdict does not agree with mine,
that you have never been comfort
able in your life before, you will be
an exception to the rule. In my
case it was the old chestnut" one had the
experience and the other the money at the
beginning, and it was reversed at the end,
but am SO much improved in both health
and temper that do not regret the expert
ence, and as far as wrapping the bones ofthe
festive whale around my body again and re-
suming the abominable draperies and reeds
that made life burden nothing would in
duce me to do SO. THoRNE BRANCH:
