DRIVING THE
LAST SPIKE
THlRTY-NlNTH ANNIVERSARY or
EVENT CELEBRATED SUM-
DAY OF THIS WEEK.
Impressive Ceremonies at Little Town
of P~romontory, When First Chain
Between East and West Was Com
rieted-the Telegraph instruments
licked the Glad Message.

Sunday marked the thirty-n.nth au.
niyersary of the greatest commercial
event in the history of tie United
States. The last spikes were driven
in the first railroad to link the great
west commercially with the east of the
United States. So the yea which
marks the ninety-ninth anniversary of
Lincoln's birth marks also the ami
versary by 60 years less of the Pacific
railroads in which he so strongly be-
lieved and which he did much to en-
courage. For it was Lincoln who
showed the greatest faith and enthusi-
asm of any public man of his time in
a trans-continental road.
Some Changes Noted.
Things were very different on that
May day thirty-nine years age, al.
though the whole country, which so
long had held aloof from the Pacific
railroad projects, seemed to awaken
and realize the meaning of the cere-
mony which was being performed at
the little railroad town of Promotory
in Utah, 63S miles east of Sacramento.
Few people gathered to witness the
event, as compared to the number that
had attended the far more imposing
ceremony when ground was broken in
Omaha in 1864. And yet the whole
country gave ear as it were to the
sound of the hammer stroke which
drove home the last spikes and linked
together the great producing region
of the west and the consuming cen,
tiers of the east. All the principal Of
fees of the country were connected
by telegraph with the now forgotten
town of Promontory, and the click of
the instrument communicated to wait
ing thousands the blows of the ham
mers on these last spikes.
Driving Last Spikes.
The governor of California had
come from the coast to attend the GER
emonies, but from the east there was
the scantiest representation. The last
tie was made of highly polished Cali
fornia laurel. On this was a silver
Ilate bearing the inscription:
THE Last Tie
Laid nj the Completion of the Pacific
Railroad,
May 10, 1869"
Into this yer driven four spikes,
two of silver and two of gold, and the
great link to the Pacific was com
pleted.
Hats off" was the message clicked
by the telegraph instruments to the
east, and then after the invocation
by Dew. DR.. Todd of Pittshelj, I'VE
have got done praying" Back came
the answer, eve understand; We are
ready in the east"
And with that simple ceremony was
completed the great achievement.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering.
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first Temporary, has become perma-
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the wealth
er, a permanent cure can not be e1-
pected; the relief from the pain which
this liniment affords Isl alone worth
many times its cost. 25 and so cent
