the coach sheds is all unloaded and, 10
and behold, yesterday the material ar

The work of tearing down the last
four stalls of the old s. P. round house
was commenced Yesterday. The brick
on 20 ,alls. This structure was first
started about 1881, and was cOmpara-
lively small, but time has added addi-
tionsl stalls until the number has
reach ID "a, making it equal in size to
any round house in the )uthwest. This
fact the employees like to discuss, and
Shop Foreman Mum looks at the
structure at intervals during the day
with smiles playing crosstag on his

The Santa Fe railroad officials are
giving their possessions at Las Vegas,
N. M, general overhauling and the
Optic of that place has the following to
say of some of the improvements:
"More tracks are being laid, all the
laid with heavy 80 pound steel rails.
The freight depot has been raised some
six inches, and q new platform has
been built. The general equipment
house for the passenger boys, toRether
with the old fences aud platforms
where the depot hotel will stand have
be en- removed, giving that part OF the
yard decidedly a deserted appearance.
The improvements now being made
will result in doubling the amount of
track heretofore in the yards, giving
the yard greater facilities for handling
the trains in a proper manner"
Many old soldiers now feel the eff
fects of the hard service they endured
during the war. Mr.. Geo. s. Ander-
son, of Rossville, York, county. Penn,
who saw the hardest kind of service at
the front, is now frequently troubled
with rheumatism. 81 had q severe
attack lately" he says, land procured
bottle of Chamberlsin's Pain Balm.
1t did so much good that would like
to know what would you charge me
for one dozen bottles" Mr.. Anderson
wanted it both for his own use and to
supply it to his friends and neighbors,
as every family should have a bottle
of it in their home, not only for rheu-
mstism, but lame back, sprains, swell
lings, cuts, bruises and burns, for
which it is unequalled. For sale by all
druggists.
