Have you ever been 'too tired to sleep ?"
 Nerves, like telegraph wires, continue to vibrate long after the message has gone over them,-with this difference, that the nerves need to be built up after each message.
 When the network of nerves is kept alive and tingling with work or excite ment all day long without opportunity or proper means for repair, sleep be- comes more and more difficult, and de- bility, nervous weakness and often times loss of flesh follow.
 In nine cases out of ten that dread disease, insomnia, is directly traceable to a nervous system that fails to get the nourishment that is demanded to replace its worn-out parts. The brain and nerves cannot appropriate as food all that comes to them.
 A profound knowledge of the condi- tion of the nervous tissues when weak ened by overwork and Insufficient food enabled Prof. Edward E. Phelps, MD, LII. D., of the Dartmouth medical school to discover a true nerve food in the form of Paine's celery compound, that actively feeds the ailing, shattered parts and builds them up into new, healthy tissues.
 As soon as this remarkable invigor- ator. Paine's celery compound, has had a chance to fairly enter into the circu- lation 1t begins to quiet and invigorate the tangled nerves and sound, refresh ing and natural sleep never fails to come Its wonderful power of giving

RHAUTIFUL STATUE.
Proposed Magnificent Memorial to Burns
 "HighIand Mary' in Scotland.

Proposed Magnificent Memorial to Burns
 "HighIand Mary" in Scotland.
 It has been decided to erect memo rial in the shape of 8 beautiful statue to Highland Mary in Scotland during the coming year to mark the century of the poets death, July 21, 1896 CMary CampbelD, the heroine of the immortal poet Robert Burns was born at the farm house of Auchanmore, near the ancient stronghold known as Dunoon castle, on the Forth of Clyde, in 1764 or 1762, and died at Grennock on the goth of October, 17S6, about twenty-four years of age. The execution of the memorial has been entrusted to the well known artist, D. w. Stevenson, R. $. A., of Edinburgh, and will be erected on the black rock sl1irting the beach in front of Dunoon castle. The poet in writing of her says
 "Thou 1ing'ring star, with less'ning ray,
 That loo'st to greet the early morn; Again thou usherst in the day
 My Mary from my soul was torn"
 The estimated cost of the memorial is $10,00O, and it is the belief of the promoters that the great host of the poets admirers on this side of the Att lantic will consider it a privilege and honor to give the project their financial support. The following gentlemen have consented to act as the committee for the United States and Canada, any of whom will be pleased to receive sub- 0Js fn fury ell nv i1f ton: His excellency the Earl of Aber- deen, governor general of Canada; Rev.

strength and tone to the nerves and to all the important organs is very soon felt by the disappearance of headaches, dyspepsia, neuralgia, rheumatism and that languid, worn-out feeling"
 Here is what A. Will Hallock, M, N., whose portrait is given above, writes from his home in Bristol Conn.
 Two years ago I was quite poorly. Overwork, both mental and physical, was the cause. I consulted as good physicians as there are in the State, and tried remedies from them which gave me only temporary relief, l thought the horrors of insomnia had come to stay. I was absent-minded, memory defective, preoccupied, unable to remember even names, dreaded to be alone, nerves so bad that I was fearful of that baneful disease of this country, paresis.
 q thought that I would try Palne's celery compound, and was astonished the second day with it's beneficial ef- fects in aiding undisturbed and restful sleep, and felt Nike a younger man be- fore I had taken the contents Of the first bottle. When I commenced its use my weight was 11S pounds, and in two months on the same scales it was 149 pounds. I believe Paine's celery com pound surely prevented my having pa resis, as it renewed my mental and physical strength. I have recommend ed it to patients when I left them con valescent, and the reports from all are most gratifying. Paine's celery com pound is a positive cure for insomnia, and a godsend to those predisposed to paresis.

May well Receive Attent,on.

A disinterested and veteran observer writes to the Courier as follows:
 The bill for the classification of post office clerks before the national house of representatives which was introduc- ed by Congressman. E. J.. Dunphy, law partner Of Postmaster Dayton of New York city, is strongly advocated as a move in the right direction All the postmaster generals from Thomas L. James down to the present incumbent have protested against the present sys- tenn of remunerating post office clerks as unfair and pernicious. In all the other departments of the government the employees are paid on fixed basis. In the railway mail service they are salaried on a graded schedule, ranging from $500 to $1, 400 per annum. The let ter carriers salary is also fixed by law at S1,000 per annun, and his hours of work each day are limited to eight.
 There can be no question that the post office clerk receives less pay. works more hours and performs more indis- pensable duties than perhaps any other officials in the government service and yet, in regard to salary, he is still left to the mere clauses of an antiauated system. There Gs no reason in the world why the clerks in post offices should not have at least as certain and fair a clas- siflcation of salaries as other federal employees, and as a matter of expedi- ency for the good of the postal service "H. R. 56' should be passed by congress at the earliest possible date.

Every Kind of Street Obstruction, Even Barber Poles, Must be Removed,

Barber Poles, Must be Removed, [From the Washington Post1
 The order 'csued by the commissions CTS on Monday relative to the removal of obstructions of all kinds from the streets and public spaces will go into effect this morning, and for several days the police will have their hands full of business serving notice upon per- sons who, under the new order of things, are violators of the law. As predicted in the Post yesterday morn- ing, the action of the commissioners raised storm all over the city, partic- ularly among those who were affected by the sweeping order.
 At the various police stations last night the long order of the commits sioners in regard to the sign and street box business was read out to the po- licemen, and they were instructed to notify all offenders at once.
 The order is especially severe in re- gard to barber poles, and, if it is obeyed, the tri-colored signs which have for centuries been emblematio of the art tonsorial will be seen no more in Washington. All signs which touch the sidewalk, whether close to the building or out on the curb, are on the list. That big gilded gun at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue which has stood so long that it has become a landmark, has got to come down, and sc have all swinging or illuminated signs which stick out more than three and a half feet from the building line and are lower than eight feet. Signs attached to awnings, whether tin cloth or paper are marked for destruc. ton, too.
 Bootblack chairs have received special mention in the order. One boot black was told by a policeman last night that he would have to move.
 ''Where I'll move to, boss?" he asked.
 Can't tell you, son." returned the bluecoat. Lust move, and keep a. moving"

Serious Accident to n Lineman.

SHAwsvILLB, November 25.-On Wednesday
last as force OF men were engaged in string
ing the wires upon the poles lately erected by
the American Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany, one of the force, young man known
as Angus Monroe, climbed q pole Immediate
ly In front of Dry Branch school house, to ad-
Just the wires. The pole was an old one
which had been erected by the Western Union
Company some years ago, and as MIR. Monroe
reached the top and removed the wire, the
pole broke and he was thrown to the ground,
a distance Of about twenty five feet. He was
unable to escape from the falling pole, which
broke off at the ground. and it fell with its
entire weight upon him, breaking his collar
bone and seriously injuring bin internally.
Mr.. Rohrbach, who was passing at the time,
kindly took charge of him and he was remov-
ed to the residence OF Mr.. A. j. Wiley, at
Shawsville, and DIR. j. L. Payne Immediately
summoned. Mr.. Monroe, owing to the untir-
ing efforts of DR.. Payne and his son, DIR. 7.
Ross Payne, has improved somewhat at this
writing, but as peritontis has developed, his
condition is still very critical. The corpora
ton in whose employ the injured man was
working, have been indefatigable in their ex-
ertions to afford relief. Monroe is about
twenty-five years of age and halls from Mount
Morris, New York.
Mr.. Robert Hanna, of Bradenbaugh, and
Miss Mary A. Gemmill, of this place, were
married in Baltimore on the 10th instant.

able mule by death few days since.
