The Why and Wherefore.

There is nothing marvellous in the fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla should cure so many diseases. When you remember that majority of the disorders flesh is heir to" are due to impure or poisonous con- dition Of the bleod, and that Hoods Sar- saparila is an effective and radical blood purifier, the whole thing is explained.
 Besides it's blood purifying qualities, Hoods Sarsaparilla also contains the best known vegetable stomach tonics, diurtics kidney remedies and liver invigOrants, and is thus an excellent specific for all disor- ders of these organs, as well as for low condition of the system, or That Tired Feeling.

ENTHUSIASTIC MASS MEETING
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars subseribec
 Towards the New School Building.

Towards the New School Building. Pursuant to call, citizens met in mass meeting at the opera house Non- day afternoon for the purpose of dis cussing the school interests ot the dis trict.
 The attendance was not large, but it was made up from the best citizens of the community, andithey were enthusi- astic, and united in their views as to the needs of the district.
 The meeting was called to order by James Russell. and Ed. W. II. Paslay was chosen chairman. He made a few remarks pertinent to the situation, which were well received.
 Walter German was chosen secre- tary.
 Remarks were then in order, and on being called, the following gentlemen rose and addressed the citizens there assembled. John Gatling, Rev. F. E.. Taylor, Ed. H. Rhodes Moran, Jas. Russell, Hon. N. w. Norton. Senator R. J. Williams, N. B. Fizer, J. NJ. Prewett, L. Rollwage, l, II. Lutz.
 The tend of the remarks of all these gentlemen were in the same direction. All agreed that the greatest need of this community is first class school privileges; that in order to have them we must have first-class and credita- ble building. Some thought that we ought to have S2O, 900 building; others that a S10,000 building, arranged 50 that it could be added to, would be ample All agreed that the people should assist by private subscription; that money thus invested would be the best investment that our citizens can make, and that we must have schools. It was shown that about s50,- 900 has gone out of this community within the last ten years to pay for ed ucating less than one tenth of the scholastic population, and that the same thing must be repeated in the fu- ture unless we prefer to invest 0ne- fifth of that amount in school of our own. Think of the investment It will double our population. It will put our city in the front ranks of pro gressive cities.
 l Quite large number of the enter prising and interest-taking ladies of our city were in attendance at the meeting, and while they were not heard one could see by their eager, anxious faces, the vital importance which they attached to every word spoken in ia yor of higher aducation and grander facilities. God bless our women, they are always ready to do good. They are anxious to help, in any manner possible, to build this much talked oi building.
 Before adjourning, it was suggested that committee be appointed to SO T licit subscriptions for the purpose oi aiding the district to build such house as we require. l.. hoiiwage statee that he would head such list with subscription of $500 from his firm.
 The matter was then put in the form of motion by James Russell. who moved that committee of two gentle men and three ladies be appointed to solicit subscriptions to building fund and stated that he would head the list with $500 provided five others would do likewise. The motion was adopted and the chairman appointed l.. Roll wage, James Russell. and Mesdames U. W. Beck. A. Becker and ". German as such committee.

Harvesting Niagara.

BUFFALO, Feb. To-day or
some day this week Niagara Falls
is to be put in electric harness, and
one of the greatest engineering en-
terprises ever undertaken in this
country and by far the greatest eX-
pertinent ever made in electricity
will be put to sest which will de-
eide whether 100000 have been
poured into a hole in the ground,
or whether this sum has been
planted in fertile soil to bring forth
fruit hundred fold.
On this day it is expected that
one at least Of the ten massive
electric gates leading from Mag
ara river inlet to the Niagara
Falls Power company's wheel pits
will be raised. II the water which
rushes down the penstocks 14O feet
turns the wheels below and sends
back up to the surface 5000 horse
power from each wheel, then 1t
will be determined that the day
will not be far distant when every
wheel in New York, west Of the
Hudson river shall be turned with
power from the fallls,and mighty
current shall be transmitted as far
west as Chicago and as far south
as Baltimore.
The tunnel, through which jOO,-
600 cubic feet of water will flow
each minute when it is used to its
full capacity, is gloomy place. 1t
is 81 feet high and is horseshoe
shaped, being Is feet 10 inches
wide at the widest part and IA feet
5 inches at the bottom. Since
October 5, 1890, when Mr.. n. B.
Gaskel, who was then president of
the Cataract Construction COM
pany,dug the first spadeful of earth
for the tunnel, seventeen men
have been killed in the tunnel,
eight in the wheel pit and two in
the work outside. While the tun-
mel was being dug some 1900 men
were kept busy, and the pay rolls
ran as high as $4,000 in one month
DR.. Coleman Sellers, OF Philadel-
phia, one of the most famous en-
gineers in America, has had charge
of the work during all the late
years Of it's progress and will SUI

and the gavel was pa ssed
to him. Richardson reported
the bill to the House with
summary amendments. The speak
er then announced that three

nizes the gentleman from
Maine," said the speaker with
the last rap of the gavel for order.
