A TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding
the Care Of the Health While Travel
ing

Mr.. r.. w. wincherdon. a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose bust
ness Keeps him almost constantly on the
road. relates i'm the Sunday News that
dangers to health resulting from constant
change OF residence and the way he over
came the usual injurious cuects.
lie says: one thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid Is the constant
change In water and food; the stomach
never has an opportunity TO become accus-

much sooner the average travelling man

less from Indigestion, sour stomach, head
aches. distaste for food, often no appe-
titc gas on the stomach and the usual
unpleasant effects OF imperfect diges-
ton.
Nearly every travelling man has his Ia
Vorite remedy for different troubles and
tried all OF them with Indifferent results.
Finally on the train between Pittsburg
ana Philadelphia one Gay, over
heard conversation between two ladies,
one OF whom had suffered severely from
indigestion and stated she had been com
plctely cured by "a remedy which she
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. ] re-

Asked TO be sent to Join his Regiment
In Case there is war Reply shows
that the war department thinks that
Hostilities can not be averted--AI
Officers on school details Will be sent

Since the situation In regard to war
between this country and Spain have
become so acute, Lieutenant Lockwood
has written to the department asking
that in case of hostilities that he be
allowed to join his regiment. He has
the reply from one Of the assistant
adjutant generals in which he is told
that his desire to be relieved and sent
10 the front is very natural, and that
in case the war does come his wishes
will be acceded to. The letter closes
with the opinion that hostilities can
not be ayerted. This letter coming
from headquarters is very significant
of the feeling that those who are in a
position to knoy have of the situa-
tion They undoubtedly expect war
and have no idea that it will be
averted.
Letters are pouring into the de-
partment from every officer on de-
tached duty asking TO be sent to their
regiment in case there should be war.
In such case of course all the officers
at school posts will be relieved and
sent to join their men.

SURVEYS BEGUN.
Preliminary Work for the Be-
ginning of Street Paving
under way.

The streets hare to be gone oyer num-
Der OF times-the estimates for the
letting Of the contracts can be made
from the data Of the first
survey-John SampseI is doing the
work--It will be done with the best
speed compatible with a fast class job
as will everything in connection with
the undertaking-th public are APP
proving VI the course as mapped out.
John Sampsel on Monday after
noon began the first survey of the
streets preparatory to letting the
contract for paving. This survey
will be made just as fast as the work
can be done as everybody concerned
is very anxious to have the work be
gin on the fiual part of the under
taking as soon as possible. There are
a number of surveys which will have
to be made before the completion of
the paving. The first time the
ground is gone over the outline of
the street as it is now is taken. The
next time the grade as it is to be af-
ter the grading is done is found and
staked off. Next the stakes are
placed where the top Of the brick is
to come after they are laid and then
the surveyors work is done.
Two surveys must first be made
before work can begin on the grad
ing. However the contract can be-
made from the estimates which can
be made of the amount of the exca-
walton there is to do from the data
CLEANED from the first survey. There
is to be no delay in the matter. Ev-
erything will be done to have brick
laying begin al the very earliest mo
ment There is one thing however
that the council is thoroughly in
earnest about and that is to do what
ever is done exactly right be that
much or little. In this determine
ton they have the appreciation of the
entire town. We care not how much
is done so that we are satisfied that
the work that is completed is done
right.
The pavement as laid shall last
us for long term of years and if it
is not put down right there is
going to be lots of trouble for us
ahead. Every step the council has
already taken has been after a thor,
ough investigation and the people
have endorsed their course in all
things. The policy will be kept up
and it will retain the appreciation of
the public.
Just how much pavement will be
laid this summer and where it is to
be and when it will begin are prob
lens that cannot be solved just now
There is one thing certain as much
will be done as can be; it will be put
where the council thinks it is needed
the worst and it will begin as soon
as the necessary preliminaries can
be arranged right Until there is
some visible sign of the progress the
public can rest assured from what
they know of the council that the
best speed possible is being made in

Easter in the Churches.

Special Easter services were held 10
the NJ E. church yesterday. In the
morning the exercises began by spe-
cial program in the Sunday school.
The pastor preached an excellent ser
mon appropriate to the day, and in
evening Prof. Armstrong delivered a
beautiful address on immortality. The
congregation joined in the bible read
iug, and some very beautiful songs
were given by children, the most strik-
ing of which were those by Jennette
Allebaugh and little Mary Hartigan
and Lucille Gregg. A missionary col
lection was taken, that being the day
for this special collection. Many
beautiful flowers were used to make
appropriate decorations.
Episcopal services began in the
morning with communion services at
I O'Clock at the hall. At l0:45 the
rector, Rev. Mr.. Sheerin, preached in
the Presbyterian church, the latter
congregation joining in the service.
In the evening Rev. A. M. Buchanan,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
held regular services, the Episcopal
lians joining. As heretofore pub
lished, this union service was held
because the Episcopal church is filed
with goods from Johns store, placed
there on Thursday during the fire, and
it has been impossible to find other
storage room since. Many beautiful
floral decorations we're also seen here.
The Lutherans held services in
Municipal hall at 10:45, the sacra-
ment of the Lords supper being ad-
ministered. The services were very
impressive and appropriate. Rev. Mr..
Wallace, the pastor, is building up the
church very much.
Rev. Mr.. Barnes preached an Eas-
ter sermon in the M. P. church In the
morning that was one of his best
efforts and impressed the audience
with the solemnity of the Easter fes-
tival. In the afternoon the Junior
@. e. society held an Easter service,
and in the evening the pastor preached
and held regular services. The deco
rations here were also very handsome.
The Baptist church was probably
more profusely decorated than any
other, and large congregation was
present to hear the sermons The
subject of the sermon In the morning
was "The Grave in the Garden" and
