FEW NEW BUILDINGS.
Price Of Building Material So High That There
Are Few Investors This Season.

HS Gh hNsAtOIS ihS SEASON.
Building operations are not very
lively here this season, and as far as
can be learned there are no prepara.
tions being made for any except those
already in the process of construc-
ton.
Work on the frame for the Burke
residence is already under way and
the foundation for the Margaret Low
rie building are completed. That part
above the ground fronting on the two
streets is attracting considerable at
tention.
A well known contractor says that
building material of all kinds is so
high that investors will not put their
money into new buildings. A house
that could be built five years ago for
81 500 now costs 50, 100. At that time
bill of good lumber could be bought
for Sl2 thousand, now the price is
from Sl8 to $22. There has been no
advance in the price of rents and
shrewd investors claim that a new
tenement will not net more than four
or FIVE per cent with good deal Of
uncertainty of getting even that.

ing the latter part of which we have
been hindered a great deal by excess
sive rains. During the time we have
been on the road we have been idle

again to allow our express to catch
up with u.s. "

4 Model Love Letter.

Nv Dear Miss te:-When the grim
hand of the dial fell like fap-jack upon
the unsuspected hour Of 4:3O yesterday,
vour letter uufolded itself like beautiful
panorama before my delighted vision,
transhxed nv soul with Joy and gladness
unspeahable, saturated my back hair into
multitude of bushes, and gave me
sneaking sense of self-conceit, and a de-
lusion Of magnitude and Importance. 1t
ratified the ten-pin balls Of agitation down
the alley way of my affections, and Knock
ed the stakes of stolid indifference in the
middle of the most diabolical hereafter.
1t pierced the set forms of do not care
cent if YOU care for me or not, and filled
nv unpoetic soul with unutterable long
inss, lon gings of an inefable nature, but
whv raise such a smoke in burning the
old rotten rail fence that encloses my
heart, for already you gravitate to the
conception, or to be more explicit, hump
yourself on the oars of pious meditation
and stem the current of my remarks.
| Suffice it to say that when | drink from
the beer glass of love and read your name
| inscribed in the bottom thereof it produces
an intoxicating exhilaration of the most
exasperating insubordination, not previ-
ously experienced in any ordinary inebri-
alton, but let me calm myself and talk
English for one moment. When l read
that the angel of death hovered over the
downv couch upon which rested the beat
tiful and sylph.like figure of the Kate of
nv affections, tear-drops Of misery dash
ed against the window panes Of my soul, !,
and from the remotest recess of my premi-
ses there broke upon the midnight gloom
the caterwaul of wretchedness and des-
pair. Yours for keeps, JOHN.

In Memoriam-Weldon Bamberg.

Soon shall I cross the storm-fettered sea,
That divides. with its waves, my brother
from me,
And the long days of waiting, sad waiting,
all past, ., -.
Shall clasp in my arms my brother at last.
Soon shall rest under beautiful trees,
Far, far beyond the shadowy seas,
And many a wearisome milestone once
NV tired heart shall rest from its striving
at last.
Soon shall see the bright, beautiful eyes
Of my brother, beyond the blue OF the
And often, as in the long days of the
past
Feel the clasp of my dear ones warm
hand at last.
shall see mid the throng OF angels so
bright,
The sheen of his robe in its peerless white,
And his lovely face, grown divinely fair;
Meath the "crown Of peace" that ne shall
wear.
And the sound of that voice in Heavens
bright strain,
Which SO long has been stilled, I shall
hear once again,
And shall press with my own those deal
lips once more,
AS together we stand on that beautiful
shore.
What a glorious dream is the dream OF
that shore, -,
When the hearts that have sorrowed shall
sorrow no more,
When the dross of this earth shall be
turned into gold,
Where angels the pages of life unfold.
Where those that are weary of life's heavy
losses,
Shall wear Heavens crown instead OF
life's crosses.
At rest in the present, at rest from the
past, -,
In the infinite rest Of that great "at last"

Perhaps you have never thought OF 1t
but the fact must be apparentto every one
that constipation is caused by lack OF
water insshe system, ard the use of dras-

only make bad matter worse. Chamber

much more mild and gentle in the.r effect,

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
Cures

The fortunes and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected. .4fs....
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:- ..a. j
1T gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. I can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that I could hardly walk
without help. used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi-
cine since. l was completely cured.''
