HARD TIMES
HoW to Live, How to save and
How to Deal in Margins,

Most people live without
counting the cost expecting
something to turn up; to strike
some scheme or to find some
this g which will not only en-
able them to pay their debts
but make them wealthy. He
who surely follows this plan
will just as surely come to
want. He who calculates well
will, at the end of the year,
see what his expenses and in
come have been. If he finds
his income has not been suf-
ficient to meet his bills and lay
up a small margin besides, he
should begin to look around
and see where he can cut down
best. The past year has been
hard one on every one OF us
and this year we will all have
to cut down our expenses.
There are many ways IN which
a man can save, that little
here and a little there will soon
amount to a large sum. For
instance, when you go to buy
your Drugs, Books, Oils and
Paints, Wall and Window Pa
pers, go to Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store where
you will always find a large,
nice stock to select from. Get
their prices, then if you are
not suited go elsewhere and
see if you can not do little
better. Always 60 where you
can get what you need (not
what you want), for the least
money.
Messrs. Saur & Balsley have
had over thirty years of con.
tinuous business experience in
their line, and have always
made an effort to buy goods
at the very lowest cash prices.
In the drug department every
thing is kept nice, new and
fresh; no old remedies allowed
to accumulate and only those
which have been tried and
proved, are recommended by
this house. In the line Of
Paints, Oils and Varnishes the
best in the land is always Sc
cured and sold at the lowest
prices. Wall and window pa.
pers, cloth shades and fixtures
are made a speciality. Every
thing in the line Of School
Books, Miscellaneous Books.
Blank, books for all kind Of
tradesmen, Pass Books, Mem
oranuums, Diaries, Writing Pa
per, Stationary, ETC., you will
always find complete and sold
at bottom prices. Trusses, Sup
porters, Shoulder Braces and
Surgical Instruments of all
kinds kept constantly on hand
and can be furnished on short
notice.
During this season a special
price will be put on all paints
and oils to get room for the
spring stock. 1t would pay
you to lay in a supply.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 24.-All the
railroads c%entering in Pitts urgh suf-
fered from the great storm which
swept with such terrific force through
the Mahoning and Shenandoah val
leys. On the Erie & Ashtabula divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania the damage
was particularly severe. The rain re-
sembled a cloud-burst in many places,
landslides and washouts were frequent
and many bridges and trestles were
rendered unsafe. Small creeks were
transformed into torrents, while in
some places the roads were turned into
swiftly-running creeks, enGangering
trestles.
1t was the most remarkable rain
which ever tell in the county. In the
two washoutS on the eastern division
of the Fort Wayne line, one being at
New Galilee and the other at Sum
NIT, tons of earth were swept down
covering the tracks, and they were
blocked for several hours. although
all the expresses got in on time.
The Block House Run track, running
out of New Brighton, is unfit fvr Use.
1t is a small switch, being only a few
miles long. The Pittsburgh, Youngs-
town & Ashtabula, Newcastle &
Beaver Valley, and other lines com-
prising the Erie & Ashtabula division,
all suffered severely, and as yet traffic
on several of them has not been re-
sumed.
At bridges Nos. IS, at Nebo, and 80,
west of Struthers, the eastern abut-
ments were carried away. There was
a serious washout at Jenkins Run on
the Newcastle & Beaver Valley road,
and all east-bound trains are running
by way of Homewood.
Bridge II, east of Moravia, had two
spans washed away; the trestle at Jen-
kins' Run was ruined; one bent in the
Newport bridge and one bent over a
wagon road trestle. Bridge No. 6, west
of Thompson, has two spans put of
line, making it dangerous.
Other damage was done along the
line, and the trackmen on the Erie &
Ashtabula, finding it impossible to re-
pair the tracks in any reasonable time,
asked for and received assistance from
the eastern division of the Fort Wayne
road.

How the Members of the Cabine Intend
to Pass the Summer.
WASHINGTON. July 24-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was of short dura-
ton and was attended by all of the
members ave Secretary Sherman. For
eign affairs did not figure at all in the
proceedings and the only matter of
consequence before the cabinet was
the submission by Secretary Gage of a
plan for the establishment of sub
ports of entry in Alaska to collect
revenues from the goods being i'm
ported in large quantities into the ter
ritory as a result of the great immi-
grafton of miners.
There was some talk about the cur
rency message, and it was decided that
it should be sem in only after the tariff
conference report has been passed.
The summer plans of the members
of the cabinet have been roughly ar
ranged. Secretary Sherman will stay
on Long Island for several weeks.
Secretary Gage probably will re-
main here in his home at Chevy
Chase, a Washington suburb. Secre-
tary Long will make a cruise on the
Dolphin. Secretary Alger, Attorney
General McKenna and Postmaster
General Gary will spend some time
with the President at Lake Champlain
and Secretary Bliss will go to New Jer-
sey. Secretary Wilson alone has not
yet formed any plans.

South Dakota Pays on It's Debts.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July l3.-[Special.]-
"The people of South Dakota have, in the
last four years, paid off $50, 900, 900 of their
debts" said one of the best known loan
agents of the State, ''and they are now
payingo off alta very rapid rate. As things are
now goingthe people of the State, and espe-
cially the farmers, will soon be well out of
debt. TIL large crops of the last few years,
coupled with the close times, have had the
effect of giving the people IN appetite for
getting out of debt, and fortunately has also
given them the ability to do So"
Another agent who represents a loan com
pany which has several million dollars
loaned on farm property in South Dakota,
adds his testimony, but the agent complains
that he cannot find takers for one-third Of
the amount he would like to loan.
Our company has l,5OO loans in this State
on farm lands" said the agent above re-
ferred to, "and we have not had over fifty
foreclosures in seven years. The company

Made So for the Accommodation OF People
En- Route to klondike.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-In view of
the present rush of travel to the Klon-
dixie gold fields Secretary Gage has es-
tablished a SUPPORT of entry at Dyea,
Alaska. The action vas taken as the
result of an application to the treasury
department by Canada for permission
for Canadian vessels to enter at Dyea,
Alaska, and land passengers and
baggage there. Dyea is a0out fifty
miles north of Juneau, and it was de-
sired to save passengers the annoyance
of disembarking at Juneau and await
ing another steamer for Dyea, the head
of navigation on the route to the Yu
kon frontier.
The granting Of the application
would have made it necessary in all
cases of vessels clearing for Dyea tc
give a special permit to the deputy at
Juneau, in the case of each vessel. In
order to obviate this directly the Sec
rotary of the treasury constituted
Dyea a SUPPORT of entry. This action
was taken under authority of the act
of March 10, 1876, which authorizes the
secretary to establish supports at
such places in Alaska as he may deem
proper.
Some objection was made by rep
resentatives from the Pacific coast to
the granting of the application to per-
init Canadian vessels to proceed to
Dyea, but on full consideration of the
question it was thought advisable by
the secretary to exercise the right
clearly given by statute to make Dyea
a SUPPORT, thus relieving passengers
from the annoyance of disembarking
at Juneau and awaiting other means
of TRANSPORTATION to DYea.
