SIXTH STREET PAVEMENT.
Work Commenced on the Haiiwood Block
system-A Handsome Roadway.

Yesterday afternoon the work Of lay
ing the pavement on Sixth street
between King and Shipley streets was
begun and the process, which Is known
as the Hsllwood block system, was
watched with intereet by passers-by. 1t
makes very pretty pavement, but only
time and wear can prove how good.
The blocks are about the size Of a brick,
and are burned like fire brick. The bed
Is Of white sand, rolled and levelled with
a straight edge, after which the bricks
are placed on their sides with broken
joints These are well rammed and pitch
poured in the cracks after which the
road is ready for use.
In cities where this system has been
tried It has worked well. Amsterdam,
New York, has one OF its main streets
paved with brick, while Troy, Utica,
Syracuse and other cities in central and
northern New York have tried the
blocks and express themselves as per-
fectly satisfied with their working.

The Land of Promise

Is the mighty West, the land that ''tickled
with hoe laughs harvest" the Ell Dor
ado of the miner; the goal of the agricul-
turnl emigrant. While it teens with all the
elements of wealth and prosperity, some
of the fairest and most fruitful portions of
it bear a harvest OF malaria reaped in its
fulness by those unprotected by medical
safeguard. No one seeking or dwelling in
a malarial locality is safe from the scourge
without Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Emil
grants. bear this in mind. Commercial
travellers soiourning in malarious regions
should carry bottle of the Bitters in the
traditional gripsaek. Against the effects
of exposure, mental or bodyily overwork,
damp and unwholesomesome food or wa
ter, it is an infallible defense. Constipa-
ton, rheumatism, biliousness, dyspepsia,
nervousness and loss of strength are ALI
remedied by this genial restorative.

General Coxey the man who ran
for Presidet in opposition to the late
Chauncey Depew, is leading an army
of discontinued hoboes on Washing

u journalist of some distinction, hav-
ing edited the Congressional Record,
an influential paper published in the
Mormon interests of Boston, N Y.
His army has captured the Delaware,
and Lackawanna Railroad, which will
afford transportation through the
Rocky mountains to Fargo, where
the troops will embark in gondolas
and ride down the Susquehanna to
Washington. AS President Cornell
Jus Vanderbilt is absent in Ken
