ARE READY TO commence
Standard Cement, Lime and Stone
Co. Completes Survey.
CONNECTION WITH RAILROAD
Will be Commenced at Once and
Work Pushed to Completion
Offices Rented In This City.

1
The American Standard Gem emit,
Lime e. Stone Company, Of Martins
burg has completed very accurate
typographical survey of their prop
erfy near this city. This work has
been in charge of the compaDy's en-
ginee-, Mr.. II. +. Brown, assisted by
Mr. George w. yanmetre, of this city.
The work has been very Thoroughly
lone and the company has at their
office complete drawings, showing all
the elevations and depressions of the
land. These surveys were made in
order that the buildings could be
properly located, pro- err drainage
maintained and correct lvels ascer-
tanned for the foundations.
| Work on the switch, connet ting the
property with the main line of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, will be
commenced at once. All the details
with the railroad company have been
contaminated and this work will be
pushed to speedy completion. The
COMPANY will have about two miles
OF track on their. property. leading to
the cement mill. the lime kilns and
the quarries, and these lines will be
extended later, as the necessity re-
q uires. There will also be siding,
three fourths of a mile long, with
capacity of 90 loaded cars, construct
ed along the main line Of the railroad
This siding will commence just east
of the Opeauon bridge, east of this
city and will extend eastward. The
connection with the tracks of the &C.
ment company will be made just on
the other side of the bridge and this
branch track will run north along the
creek and traverse the property ac-
quired by the company.
The company has rented offices in
the Burkhart building, in the public
square, and will fit them up for use
as the home offices. The corner
room, now occupied BY Mr.. Thomas
as piano reposi tory will be the bnsi-
ness Office, rooms en- the second floor
will be fitted up for laboratory work.
The company expects to get down to
hard work immediately and will
make every effort to get the works in
operation at the earliest possible date,
Mr.. Wright, the general manager of
the company is an exceptionally ener-
va in anA SC ru1aino Cf
development and expects to have the
dirt flying in the next few days, so
that he can get the tracks down and
get his heavy machinery placed.
1t is interesting, especially to the
people who are interested in lime
stone land in this section, to note
that this company has been able to Sc
cure satisfactory connection with
the railroad. 1t has been the nI-
pre- ssion that the Baltimore q Ohio
would not make connection with lime
stone properties in the vicinity of
Martinsburg. Mr.. Wright's success, as
the representative of RESPONSIBLE and
enterpTising capitol, demonstrates
that the road will make connection
with any enterprise of like nature
that has the backing of reponsible and
enterprisng people.
This new enterprise will mean
much for the city, and it is to be
hoped that the management will be
able to install the plant and rut it
in operation without delay.

Nervous
WORKOUT

If you are in this condition,
YOUR nerve force is weak-the
power is giving out, the or
gans of your body have
slowed up" and do their work
imperfcctly. This failure to
do the work required, clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. When the nerves
are weak the heart is unable
to force the lile-giving blood
through your veins; the stom-
ach fails TO digest food; the
kidneys lack power TO filter
impurities from the blood, and
the poisonous waste remains in
the system to breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored.
DR.. Miles Nervine will do It,
because it strengthens the
nerves; it is a nerve medicine
and tonic, that rebuilds the
entire nervous system.

HASH A DISH THAT GREAT
men HAVE Dotted ON

Next to comforting the younger
sos and COS at half the rates he chorg-
ed the regular patrons Of the Aston
house, old Landlord Stetson delighted
In relating anecdotes Of Martin Van
Buren, and his son John, Willard Fill
more and William H. Seward, General
Scott. Wood. Worth and Dix William
Cullen Bryant and James Watson
Webb. Rufus Choate and Daniel Web
ster, stephen A. Douglas and Tom Cor
win, Tom Benton and Slas Wright, and
many others among the striking pub
lie men of so or 60 years ago.
I remember one evening in particu-
lar, in 1862. when was the war corr
respondent in the west Of the New
York Times, being one Of the four
young men grouped around the old
gentleman; and among other things
he said:
There are good many persons who
make fun of hash and scorn succotash,
little dreaming that there two dishes
still remain prime favorites with the
foremost men Of the land
when Mr.. Coleman and l took the
Aston House we at once saw that, how
ever heightened we made 1t, we could
not rule of corned beef hash. vegeta-
BILE hash. pork and beans and brown
bread, and pies and doughnuts from
our bills Of fare. We also served fried
cells every morning from the start and
we still keep it up.
"Some Of my southern friends used
to laugh at us for serving eels and
even Mr.. Douglas once or twice said
to me that he would as soon eat snakes.
But one of my GREATEST patrons, the
great Webster many times declared
that he staid over at my house on ac-
count of our fried cells. Mr. Webster
often made his breakfast on cells. corn
ed beef hash. toasted brown bread and
butter and coffee. Mr.. Van Buren, al
ways called for fried cells. although
Prince John, his son, laughed at him

WILL REQUIRE ACT OF CONGRESS
This Necessary to Remove CIear~wate,
From List Navigahle Streams.

Members Of the Orof1no Commercial
club are in receipt of a letter from H.
F. Hodges, major corps of engineers,
office Of the war department, in which
Major Hodges says, in reply to the
resolutions recently submitted to the
war department by the people Of Oro-
fino. regarding the maintaining OF the
Clearwater on the governments list Of
navigable streams:
IF the Clearwater river is in fact
navigable, it would require action by
congress to remove it from the opera
ton Of the laws for the protection Of
navigable waters. This office has not
been informed that such action is con-
templated.
1.-The last river and harbor act car
ried an order for a preliminary examf-
nation of the Clearwater river, with a
view to barge navigation. Such ex-
animation has been made. and a re-
port adverse to the Improvement of the
river by the United States for the pur-
pose stated. has been submitted to the
secretary of war: but such report does
not have the effect of declaring the
river unnavigable, and is simply an
expression Of opinion that it would not
pay as commercial proposition, to
improve 1T for barge navigation"
