Yesterday. shortly after noon. Frank
Colbourn, Of Main street, Wheelinx,
while working on the frescoing Of the
ceiling Of the St. Johns church, fell
from the trestle on which he was work
ing, to the floor. q distance Of about
thirty feet. HIS fall was broken some
what by his striking a cross scantling.
As it was, he received a bad cut on the
head and several severe bruises. His
injuries were dressed al the Emergency
Hospital. 1t appears that in moving
from n part of the ~scafolding to an
other, Colbourn stepped upon a loose
board, which turned, throwing him to
the floor.

the magnitude Of the importance y
this discovery appears. MI Edison
realizes its. value. In brief, he expects
1t to drive quarried stone and brick out
Of use as ordinary building materials.
He foresees as the result OF his discov-
cry that it will cost very little to build
houses, and that, therefore, rents will
be very low; he foresees small palaces"
renting for $40 a month; he foresees
that when houses built Of his concrete
and steel frames are erected the fire in
surance companies will go out Of bust
ness.
With cement SO cheap, a house will
be poured" not builded. And the pour
ing of the house will occupy but a. few
days. The house will be habitable when
the concrete solidiies.
The secret of making Portland Gem
ent at a cost SO small has only lately
been discovered by Mr.. Edison. For
several years he has been working on
the cement problem, and the problem
of making cheap and practicar storage
batteries. Both inventions have now
been perfected.
The current number of Insurance En-
cheering has an interview with Mr..
Edison in which he states his belief
that cement combined with steel will
be the building material for the future,
continuing:
MY impression is that the time will
come when each contractor will have
standar forms of houses, twenty or thirty
varieties. The forms will be made of
wood, and a contractor, using one of the
standard shapes, will simply go out and
pour a house.
There will probably be hundreds of de-
signs. The contractors will put UP their
forms ready. They will pour the form for
the first story, and so on.
ITO do that all they will require will be
common ldDOr-d lew men ana one DOsS.
That is what I think will be lone even
tually. And such a house can be made
very cheaply. 1t seems to me there will not
be much use for carpenters then. There
will be cabinet makers, TO be sure. Why,
even the floors and stairs will be made of
concrete"
Apparently, this would seem to be a
rather rough outlook for bricklayers,
stonemasons and carpenters, and yet
there never was an invention Of this
character that did not improve the gen
eral condition even of those whose old
employment it may have taken away.
A wise Providence provides that such
inventions shall be a benefit to all and
the improved conditions open up new
avenues of employment. Material pro-
gress Dis never r~etrogression for any one.
The march is always onward and up

the Democrats refused to permit them
to arbitrarily prevent a quorum and stop

Hervey as mere baseless chaf. The
Democrats acted well within their rights

Two WAYS OF Telling IT.

Once upon time Il king in his sleep
dreamed that all of his teeth fell out
before him, one by one.
He summoned a soothsayer and ask
Ell him to interpret the dream.
The soothsayer said, 80 king, the
meaning of thy dream is that thy fam
lily and relatives shall die in thy pres
ence, one by one, till all are gone"
The king was very angry at that and
sent the sOothSaycr at once to prison.
Then he sent for another soothSayer
and again asked for an Interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made answer, 80
king, the Interpretation of thy dream
is that thy family and relatives shall
die, one by one, and thou thyself shalt
outlive them ALL
With this answer the king showed
approval and commanded that pres
ent be given to the interpreter. and
that he should be sent home with

Common
Sense
Talk with
Women

If person is i'll and needs medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to it's
credit?
A great many women who are ill try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years it's record has been one I'M
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has ever
known has such record for cures.
1t seems SO strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful !;
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been pu blished in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, Ono, we want

pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
