The Good Roads Question.

The better roads movement which is
agitating Lewiston Just now bids fair 10
spread 10 this city. No one has any fault
- find with the street commissioner Of
Waterville but the manner In which the
appropriations for improving the streets
are cut down VIII be the key note to be
worked to a concert pitch. Several hun
dred bicycles are owned in bis city and
the owners think they should be given
some voice in the matter Of appropria-
lions, Watcrville has already begun to
improve the principal streets along new
lines as the piece Of asphalt paving on
silver street will testify and the wheel
men are going 10 help push the good
thing along. Watervilie being a great
horse town, the wheelmen will undoubt-
edly have the support Of the owners If
steppers. That part Of College street be
yond the railroad can be made better. in
the eyes Of many who have occasion to
travel over II TO Fairfield In this con-
nection il may be well TO say that as the
street mentioned passes the new section
now being opened up, near the Fairfield
line the city might receive substantial
assistance from the owners of the property
which will increase in value from the fact
that it has good approach. II is also
urged that upper Main and lower Silver
streets should be the scene of active opera
lions in the spring as both streets make
splendid drives. That the bicycle is a
permanent thing, that 1t has como 10 stay.
is in evidence through the fact that at the
great wheelmen's meet in New York this
week $50 different kinds or makes of
wheels were On exhibition. The more
competition the more wheels and at lower
prices will be the rule this season and
next.

and saw much hard service Owing to
exposure and hardships during the ser
vice, Mr.. Taylor contracted chronic
diarrhea from which he has suffered now
over 80 years, with absolutely no help
from physicians. BY nature he was
wonderfully vigorous man Had he not
been, his disease and the experiments of
the doctors had killed him long ago.
Laudanum was the only thing which
afforded him relief He had terrible head
aches, his nerves were shattered, he could
not sleep an hour day on an average,
and he was reduced to a skeleton. A
year ago, he and his wife sought relief in
q change of climate and removed to
Geneva, Ohio; but the change in health
came not Finally on the recommended

cases which Pink Pills had cured, Mr.
Taylor was persuaded to try box

the credit of raising Mr.. Taylor from a

said Mrs. Taylor Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor cannot find words to express the
gratitude they feel or recommend too
highly Pink Pills to suffering humanity.
Any inquiries addressed to them at Gen

BRADSIREEIS REPORT.
Staples Show Signs OF Advancing Other
Features Not So Favorable.

New York, Jan. 24.--Bradstreets, to
morrow, will say: An analysis of special
kilograms from the more important bust
ness oenters throughout the country shows
considerable irregularity in trade, the most
favorable feature being the tendency OF
staple prices to advance The late drop
in iron and steel was one of the shortest
on record. The restriction Of the produc
ton of pig iron and the advance for the
1896 delivery of prices of coke and Lake
ore have proved IA sufficient stimulus to
push the quotations for Besscmcr pig and
steel billets up 81 and 50 ton at the
Western centers. The impression prevails
that these prices are likely to be main
tanned.
The comparatively unfavorahle business
features are somewhat disappointing it
the character of the opening of the spring
trade in leading staples and the small TO
tails of bank clearings. That such centers
as Chicago and st. Louis reports made
that the interior merchants have been dis
appointed in the seasons business and are
buying somewhat more sparing than OK
pected. May jobhers at those cities report
that travellers for clothing, dry goods
shoe and hardware houses are taking fair
orders for spring delivery.
The more favorable reports regarding
the movement of merchandise present and
prospective are from Baltimore, where the
orders arc being received freely and the
prospects for the spring trade are bright
The total bank clearings throughout the
United States were $3.50, 900, 600, this week
Il decrease of s per cent. from the preced-
ing week, and an increase Of nearly per
cent. compared with the corresponding
week Of January in last year.

A Miracle That Several Boys Are still OF
Earth.

Earth.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. 10
South Superior had a very narrow es-
cape from being blown up by dynamite
with which a number of small boys
were playing. 1t appears that the
county authorities, who are building q
road west to St. Louis, had purchased
100 pounds Of the explosive and had
stored it in a vacant barn opposite the
Northern Pacific depot while waiting
until they wanted to use it. The boys
broke into the barn and broke the cases
OF dynamite open. After lighting some
OF the ends of sticks and seeing them
burn like wet powder and
making numerous attempts to
make sparks by striking the sticks with
small stones they found the fun becom-
ing too tame and laid several pounds Of
the stuff along the Northern Pacific
track Oh the rails. The nervous system
of the agent vas badly shattered when
he discovered the stuff there, but by
prompt work it was corraled and boxed
up and is now in a safe place. 1t was a
miracle none Of the sticks were ex-
ploded while the boys were playing
with them.
