SO oft played these melodies for hin
in the twilight hour here at home?

A Foot OF Water Taken Out OF This
Pool.

This morning six inches of water
was drawn out of pool number nine.
This is the second subtraction
which has taken place recently, six
inches having been drawn out a few
days ago. The withdrawal was done
according to telegraphic orders re-
ceived from Major Powell and was
rendered necessary by the losses in
the pools below caused by frequent
lockages The trouble comes from
pool number 5 and below where a
great deal OF coal is being taken out
The water here has not gained any
since the first withdrawal and if il
becomes necessary to take out any
more, navigation will be seriously
threatened. As it is the water flow.
ing in this pool is just about enough
to afford sufficient water to keep even
with the lockage at number nine.

WORK HAS BEGUN.
Dirt Being Moved where the New wing
Is to be-No Change will be NJ ade in
the Original Plans.

Huston and Domain have COM
menced work on the new wing to the
University. Col. Gilmore is doing the
grading and it will be completed as
rapidly as possible. The stone for the
foundation is being hauled and it will
begin to be laid just as soon as the
ground can be made ready for it.
Architect Jacobs has reported adj
versely on the proposition to make a
hall in the basement of the building
and it is not at all likely. that the
change will be made from the original
plans. Captain Hewitt was very anx-
ious that the hall should be made, but
to do so would either weaken the
building or require so many support.
ing pillars that its usefulness as a
drill hall would be seriously impaired.
Consequently it was decided not to
make the change.
The building is expected to be ready
for occupancy by the opening of the
school year in September, and as much
work as possible will be done on ii
during the continuance of the pres
ent favorable weather. The con.
tract price is 1922, 800.

THE champion free silver man
lives in Tucker county. His name
is said to be Spencer. He permits
no goldenrod nor marigold to grow
on his farm. He plants white corn
exclusively and allows no yellow
grain among it He has utterly
stopped observing the golden rule
and refuses to speak to his wife be-
cause she has golden hair. He open
ly declares that he has no desire to
enter the golden gates and few days
ago coming into possession Of S., 900
in government bonds, he declined to
receive them because he was inform
eG that they were payable in gold.
The Ohio river below the Davis
Island dam has risen one-tenth Of a
foot since yesterday. 1t is thought
that the swell was caused by the
water being drawn from some Of the
upper pools of the Monongahela riv-
er in order to fill the lower ones.
The water has been exceedingly low
in the Fourth pool, but since Maj.
Powell had some of the upper pools
drained foot there has been an i'm
provement in navigation on the lower
pools. Many rivermen are of the
opinion that there will not be rise in
the rivers, of any consequence, until
there is fall of snow.
IT is said there is tunnel on the
Norfolk d Western railroad, in Nc
Dowell county of this State, cut
through a solid rock, which is high
ly charged with magnetism-and
lovesick lads and lassies, old maids,
old bachelors, and married couples,
who have become estranged-when
passing through this tunnel ON a
railway train find that they cannot
resist the peculiar magnetic currents
and repeatedly participate in oscu-
latory exercise. The great magnet
ic properties Of this magic tunnel,
when within its portals, is a pana-
cea for all pain, and is an infallible
remedy for broken heart, the marble
heart, the heart that is deceitful
above all things and desperately
wicked, and estrangement among
both married and single is quickly
eliminated and their hearts made
| glad again.

The River Locks.

The bids for the construction OF
Ohio river locks Nos. 2, 3, 4 and s
were opened at Cincinnati by Major
Bixby, United States Engineer
There were fourteen bidders for all
or part of the work. Messrs. Eigen.
mann d Hollenbach and Eichel &
Arnold, two firms of Evansville, Ind
bidding as one concern, were the
lowest bidders by great deal, and
if the contracts are given to the low
est bidders they will build foul
locks. A rough estimate of their
bid is 100000 for each lock, and
this is considered very low for the
work. The next lowest bidders were
Kingston q Sylvester, of Buffalo, N.
Y. Their bid approximates $780,
600 for each lock. The bids are SC
much lower than expected that it is
possible that contracts may be made
now for the construction of all foul
locks. Captain William Martin, as

MIRACLES IN MEDICINE. The Wonderful Progress Made Within

Diseases that Our Mothers Thought Incurable
 Now Cured by Paines Celery Compound.

before. Many persons are not aware that any such nerves exist. They do not know that nothing goes on in any part of the body that every other part does not in- stant1y "know of" The closeness of this sympathy is familiarity illustrated by headaches, indigestion, rheumatism, neu- ralgia, etc. About every case of sleep lessness, nervousness and dyspepsia Is a sympathetic strike by brain, nerves or stomach, indicated by the lowering of the general health.
 People. who think to get rid of these troubles by some medicine that disre- gards the general health of the body are on the wrong track. In getting such diseases as neuralgia and rheumatism out of the system Paine's celery com pound proceeds at once to restore a nor maj appetite and regulate the nerves as the foundation for building up the health and vigor.
 1t regulates the bowels without delay, and sees to it that the poisonous humors that are bursting through the skin, in what are, for purposes of classifying, called skin diseases, are given a ready outlet On this basis of purified blood and regulated nerves the permanent cure of every form of blood diseases, such as eczema, salt rheum, bad complexion, is now assured by this really wonderful remedy.
 If the reader of this is not fin perfect health, let him simply try a first bottle of Paine's celery compound and carefully note the results.
Birmingham state herald., 1897-01-09

It is difficult, almost impossible, to overestimatethe importance of recent ad- vanees in medicine and surgery.
 In surgery there is the application of the X-ray in determining complicated fractures.
 In medicine there is the serum-treat- ment for germ diseases, and more irnz portant still, the extended use of Paines' celery compound in the treatment Of the many diseases that arise from a faulty or impaired nervous system. g.
 This class of ailments causes more suf- fering and earlier deat ths than all othefs, and that is why so much public proml- nence was at once given to Paine's celery compound when its discovery was inst announced by Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth college. H
 The rapid and sure way that Paines celery compound cures neuralgia, rheu- matism and nervous debility is marvsi- ous even in the eyes of this wonder-worit ing quarter of the century EA
 Ancient miracles were contrary td natural laws. whereas the remark ahle power of Paine's celery compound ,to make people well, comes from a bettes understanding of the natural causes Of disease tT

A LONG RUN.
TRACEY MINE SHUT DOWN
And Mules Removed Because of the Strike of Miners-Mules Sent
 to Birmingham

A special from Nashville, under date of January 2, says:
 As a result of the miners strike at Tracey City. the mines have been shut down and the mules removed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, to Birmingham, for use there. The shutdown throws 800 men out of employ ment, and will cause much suffering. It is the result of action taken, both by the company and the miners, and will great ly lessen traffic on the Tracey City branch of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, two trains having already been stopped.
