T ested Sprays.

Prof. f. f. Brooks and Prof. w. A.
Rumsey, of the Morgantown expert
ment station, conducted a series of ex-
perments last Thursday in the orchard
of Faulkner, Clohan x Bowers, south
of the city, with number of San Jose
destroyers, the purpose of which was
to get positive knowledge of the value
of the different destroyers now on the
market. The tests were as thorough
as could be made, and while no def
mite results will be knownsuntil next
year, it is believed the work will result
in great practical benefit. Among the
destroyers used was the preparation
manufactured by the American Horti-
cultural Distributing Co., of this city,
which has splendid reputation among
orchardists. Mr.. Brooks and Mr.. Rum
sey returned to Morgantown Friday.

DOUBLES TRAIN SPEED.

james n. Van degrift; in a paper read
before the Syracuse Technology Club,
announced that theWesting houseCom-
pany was building car invented by
him which will run at double the speed
now attained and will carry passen-
gers from New York to Chicago in
ten hours less than the Twentieth Cen
fury Limited, and from Syracuse to
New York in an hour and half.
His plan isto have four wheels on a
car placed one ahead of the other and
running on third rail between the
two rails now used. The cars will be
pointed at the ends to reduce the re-
sistance of the air, and to less en- the
danger in case Of a collision. The mo-
torcycle train will be kept in an up
right position by wheels or rollers
running on the two outside tracks.
These will serve to keep tine cars up
right when not in motion.
When the train is in motion, ac-
cording to Mr.. Vandegrift, it will
maintain its own equilibrium, as does
a bicycle, on the gyroscope principle,
and the faster it travels the safer it
Will be. Mr.. Nandergrft figures that
as great many accidents are due TO
track jumpingor derailments from one
cause or another, the new method of
travel will be safer than the old.

also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fu1flls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have sample bottle and a
book that tells all
aboutit, both sent free GsE5Esst :s:.e
by mail. Address DR.. a
Kilmer & Co., Bing- zs Ial5G
hamton, n. Y. When Homo of swamp-Roos
writing mention this paper and don't
make any mistake, but remember the
name Dr. Kilmer's Swafnp-Root, and
the address, Binghamton, N. y.

An Up-to-dats Fire Department.

At the meeting last Thurs lay night,
the council definitely decided to accept
the offer of the business men, made
some time ago, to donate the city with
a combination chemical engine, hose
and ladder wagon, two horses and the
necessary harness, and to reorganize
the fire companies, along new and up
to-date lines, also to install a new
pump at the water works, in addition
to the one already there, so as to guard
against accidents and to insure an am
pie supply of water, under any emer-
gency.
A fine powerful Holly pump was Sc
cured, at wonderful bargain from the
city of Rochester n. Y, for $1,000. 1t
had cost that city 5000, but was not
needed and remained on their hands
for some years, without having been
unpacked, until the city government de
termined to sell it for what it would
bring. Clerk Letter CHANGED to see the
advertisement, and called the atten-
on of Mr.. f. S. Emmert, chairman
ofthe finance committee to the matter.
Mr.. Emmert, together with Mr..
Shaffer, superintendent of the Water
Works at once went on to Rochester
examined the pump, found it in first
class condition, and Mr.. Emmert, on
his own responsibility, made an offer
of $1,000 for it, which after considerable
hesitation was accepted.
When they returned and reported
the matter to the council, the bargain
was unanimously confirmed and vote
of thanks to Mr.. Emmert for his
prompt and efficient action was passed
The cost ofmaintaining the new equip
mcnt will be borne by the city, and
two saIared firemen will be constant
ly on hand to care for the horses and
other equipments, and to get the APP
paratus to fires with the least possible
delay. 1t is said that the property own
ers will be fully repaid for the outlay,
by the decreased insurance rates, on
account of the improved facilities for
extinguishing fires

In Mad Chase.

Millions rush in mad chase after
health, from one extreme of faddism
to another, when, if they would only
eat good food, and keep the bowels reg
ular with DR., Kings New Life Pills,
their troubles would all pass away.
Prompt relief and quick cure for liver
and stomach trouble, 25c at All Drug
