as the couple got onto the train when
it stopped at the crossing. Even two
of her brothers were among those who
got fooled. May, as she is 80 familiar

f1obAn Pushes Tunnel

Contractor ]. j. Hoban is pushing
the work in the new hot water tunnel
in speedy manner. At the present
writing the breast is in a distance of
nearly forty feet. The first few
feet had to be timbered on account
of the slide. In driving this distance
the workmen found plenty of warm dirt
and also some warm water. 1t is ex-
pected that when this tunnel is in the
same distance as the others that the
largest and warmest flow of water
will be obtained of any. The plans
for the building at the portal will be,
here shortly and this part of the work
will also be pushed with all possible
rapidly 1t is possible that later on
the three tunnels will be SO connected
and so arranged that any number of
people can be accommodated. The
wonderful cures that have character
lied these baths for rheumatism, and
other diseases embracing SO many
cases, prove the efficiency of the water
beyond all question of doubt. The part
that has been lacking is the accommo-
dations for all who would patronize
them.
