structure with any great speed. As soon
as the weather moderates. however, and
the pile-driving machines can be taken to
the bridge to place the pile support under

the heavy timbers as they are unbolted,
the work will progress much more rapidly.
but 1t Is expected 1t will take a month or
two to complete the work and to blow up
the old stone piers.
The draw pier and the seat piers on each
end the draw are to be taken out to the
bottom Of the channel, but on each side
the stone work will only be torn down to
low-water mark. In order to conform Ia
the angle of the draw of the new railway
bridge, considerable dredging Is to be done
at the site Of the old Long bridge. 1t Il

moved from the bridge It will be numbered

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT.

There are few deserters from the
army of the unemployed.
Few of us get what we want, but
most of us get what we deserve.
The people who believe most in
luck are those who never have any.
a man isn't much good unless he
feels that he is as good as anybody.
Unfortunately, the man who loses
his temper always gets it back again.
In reality the under dog gets a
dozen kicks for every bit of SYM
patty.
Some people are satisfied to be
understudies all their lives; aim to
be a star.
This may be a cold, cruel world,
but it's the best we have at the pres
ent time.
You can't always tell If a man is
we'll bred from the amount OF dough
in his possession.
1t may be true that wealth doesn't
bring happiness, but most of us only
know 1t from hearsay.
1t isn't until a man asks a favor
that he discovers some of his friends
are mere acquaintances.
The Bible tells US to let our Ugh,
shine before men, but we don't have
to make a fireworks display Of it,.
Too many fellows take their re-
Taxation out of a bottle; the most
]expen5iye and unsatisfactory source.
a comet solo may not always be
a success, but at any rate it never
comes out at the little end OF the
horn.
Few men thank heaven that they
have more than they deserve; the
m~j3ri.y complain because they
have not wha, they think they de-
serve.

A Curiosity.

A natural curiosity of more than
ordinary interest was found a few
days ago by a lumberman employed
by a. Knabb & Co. on a tract of
timber land near the village OF
Clifton Mills.
While working in a swampy Sec
ton OF land the woodsmen came
upon an old log which by mere &C.
cident they found to be completely
petrihed. The log was gotten out,
Grated and hauled to the railroad at
Somerfield and shipped to A. Knabb
* Co. at Chester, Pa, who. it is
reported, will forward it to the
West Virginia department at the
jamestown exposition. The log is
a most wonderful fossil for this sec
ton. being about S feet long and
from 2 to M feet in diameter.
The weight is estimated by those
who handled it to be from 1000 to
1900 pounds. The ak marks on
the smaller end and a large chip
cut from the side can be plainly
seen.

TACK the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder. or the kidneys themselves

Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by n proper
treatment Of the kidneys. II you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect OF Swamp-Root is soon realized.
II stands the highest for it's wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to AXE and is
