The railroad is pushing on the
work of charging to a standard
gauge. and expects now to have it
completed by September. Mr.. Mar
tin, the Superintendent and GEN
eral Manager, has purchased all
the rolling stock and will have
everything ready for business soon
as the road bed Is enlarged. About
thirty men are at work all the
time on the grades and curves. Mr..
Martin has succeeded IN raising
the money necessary to complete
the work, and all the heavy ex-
penses are being met promptly.
We desire to say here that local
IN The ARGUS about a month since
was misleading, as it left the i'm
preston that the company, who
had charge last year, had failed to
pay the hands their wages for De-
cember, the last month under them.
This is a mistake, and the matter
referred TO happened away back
under the old Kingwood Company
several years ago. We make this
explanation in Justice to the pres
ent managers, who are paying very
promptly.

Incnndcsccut Lamp Bulbs.

The use of acid. which hitherto has
been largely depended upon for the
obscuring Of frosted incandescent
lamp bulbs, has been found objection
able on many grounds. and especially
from giving a greasy appearance to
the glass. 1t is nov proved that the
sand blast can do the work of the acid,
with none of it's drawbacks. The sand
blast is in almost universal s for OBJ
securing and decorating lamp and gas
moons and chimneys, but it has until
recently been considered too powerful
for the frosting of in%candescent bulbs.
A machine has been invented for this
purpose, by which from five dozen to
eight dozen lamps can be obscured per
hour. The blast is operated by a blow

Uuired.

health to sorne extent, although l

ago, l was Frustrated with what able
physicians pronounced Locomotor

somewhat, yet the disease progressed
feeling in NY legs n feet, they felt
like sticks Of wood, and ! grew SO much
worse that I could not move for three
years without help, as my neighbors

several physicians in my vicinity, and
elsewhere, and they all told me that
medicines would not help me, that
and that in time I should become en-
tirely helpless. I became discouraged.
I was a great care to my wife and
friends. Shortly after I met an old
army comrade. Mr.. All. Parlin, a resi-
dent Of Madison, Me-, and he incidently
mentioned how he had tried DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for a severe case of
rheumatism and a spinal and malarial
trouble, that he had suffered with con-
sequent of his army life, and had been
greatly benefited by their use. BY his
earnest recommendation I was induced
to try the pills. After taking them for
a time I began to feel prickly sensations
in my legs and a return of strength so
I could move them a little. After a few
weeks I began to feel a marked i'm
provement in my condition. I soon was
enabled to walk around a little with
the help of crutches. After taking fol-
some time I can now walk without
crutches, my general health is much i'm
