Remarkable Rescue,

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plaintield, H.,
makes the statement that she caught cold
which settled on her lungs; she was treated
for month by her family physician, but
grew worse. He told her that she was a
hopeless victim of consumption aud that
no medicine could cure her. Her drug
gist suggested DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption; she bought bottle and
to her delight found herself benefited from
the first dose. She continued its use and
after taking ten bottles found herself sound
and well, now does her own homework
and is as well as she ever was. Free trial
bottles of this great discovery at Tobin's
drug store; large bottles SOC and 81.

CURED BY cUTIcURA.

Icannot say enough in praise of the Co.
TIcURA REMEDIES. My boy, when one year
of age was so bad with eczema that he lost
all of his hair. His scalp was covered with
erupuons, which the doctors said was scall
head. and that his hair would never grow
again. Despairing of cure from physi-
clans, began the use of the CgTICURA REM
EDIEs and | anu happy TO say with the
most perfect success. His hair is now
splendid and there is not pimple on him.
l recommend the CUTICURA REMEDIES to
mothers as the most speedy, economical
and sure cure for ali skin diseases of in
fants and children, and feel that every
mother who has an afflicted child will
thank me for so doing.

CLAYTON, N. NJ, March f.-For some time
il has been rumored that moonshiners were
at work in No-Man's-Land, forty miles
north of here. News has just been received
of the seizure of three large distilleries with
large amount of machinery and whiskey
by United States officers. The distilleries
were doing an enormous business, not only
supplying the neutral strip and northern
New Mexico with whiskey, but also ship
ping hundreds of barrels into that portion
of Kansas adjoining No Mans-Land.

DAMAGE TO Sugar Cane.

Houston, Tex, March 4.-The Texas
Sugar Planters ASSOCIATION convened here
today. From reports received it appears
that the recent frost has done more than
high tariff forthe next crop. Nearly all the
cane which was 10 inches high is killed.
1t is also feared that the lower eyes are
destroyed and the only hope is fol the
stubble. Conservative estimates place the
damage to the sugar crop at 50 to IS per
cent. Tonight a terrible hail storm, the
worst for many years, came up and what is
not damaged by the freeze is killed by the
hail.

cannot half perform its office. Digestion.
secretion, evacuation are disordered, the
blood becomes watsry, the nerves feeble. the

appetite capricious. Terrible is this disease,
fell its consequences. There is. however, a
known antidote to the miasmatic poison. and
a certain safeguard againstit. In malarious
regions of our South and West, in South
America, Guatemala and on the Isthmus of
Panama, as well as in transmarine countries
where the scourge exists, this inimitable pre-
ventive and remedy, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, has, during the last thirty. five years,
been constantly widening the area of its use

valae. Liver complaint, dyspepsia, consti-
patton, kidney trouble, rheumatism and de-
bility are all remedied by it.

HALF A MILE Of TRACK GRADED.
Thirty-five Cars Of Material for the
Line in the Railway
Yards.
General Route Adopted 1t Will Ac-
commNiate Residents of the
South and North
Sides.

Work on the Parsons electric street
railway has commenced In earnest and
rapid progress is being made. kirken-
dali has the grading contract and he is
pushing the work rapidly on the east end
Of Eighth avenue North, where about
half a mile of the grade is already fin,
ished.
The line will go east on Third or
Fourth avenue South to Ninth street,
thence north to probably Fifth venue
North, thence east TO Thirteenth street,
thence north to Eighth venue and thence
along this avenue to the Black Eagle
falls. This is the general route, although
there may be some minor changes.
The poles that will support the over
head wires are all here and nearly all the
machinery, Ten car loads of ties have
been received and in all 35 car loads of
material for this enterprise are standing
in the railroad yards.
Mr.. Horace Ropes, formeral of Bos-
ton, but latterly connected with the
Santa Fe railroad, will have charge of
the construction and operation of the
electric line. Work will now be pushed
rapidly and 1t is more than likely that
the road will be in operation to the
Black Eagle falls, where a bridge will
connect with the Boston " Montana
smeIter, by the first Of August.
