BLOCKS FAVORED BY THE
 K. K. COMPANY

It is understood that the railroad company is negotiating with the Wye koff Pipe & Creosoting Co.,, for wood block paving to be laid in Main street alongside of the wood blocks of the U. s. Wood Preserving Co. which the city will lay. The railroad is said to be greatly pleased with the way that the Wyckoff blocks have stood up in Fairfield avenue and is likely to buy them for Main street. Thirty feet of Bank street, the full width Of the street at the Main street intersec-
 ton is paved with the Wyckoff blocks and they are standing up as well as on Fairfield avenue The remainder of Bank street is paved with the U. S. Preserving Co.'S blocks. Many like the Wyckoff block best because it does not exude a tarry substance

STREET WILL BE PAVED.
 At the meeting of the paving com- mission held yesterday afternoon it was voted to recommend to the Com mon Council that the pavement on Fairfield avenue from Main to Water streets be relaid. The Connecticut Go. is going to relay it's rails on Fairfield avenue in that section and repave be- tween the rails.
 After the trolley company repaves it's part of the street but little will be left for the city to do. The commits sion believes that the old brick might be used for crosswalks in other parts of the city. It was also voted to rec ommend to the Common Council that permission be immediately given the Connecticut Company to straighten it's tracks from Gilbert to Atlantic streets. Chairman Rogers of the commission says: eff the Common Council grants the request of the commission the paving will be completed in a month"

Wood Preserving Co.,, told the paving commission that he would recommend that a thin coating of sand be kept upon the bleeding" blocks the first summer they are laid. The sand, he said, would pack down and make a hard surface.

GREAT LIMERICK CONTEST Unique Offer to Give Away Piano
 For Clever Line to Limerick

oI S1StCA 44l1lO to llhhAOAASA
 The old adage, "You can't get of it's prestige@in the Great Limerick Contest now being conducted by the A. M. Vack Piano House.
 Some years ago the London Times to increase its circulation, started a Limerick Contest, and almost imme- diately the whole city went wild try ing to find clever answers to the poet rr.
 Recently several New England newspapers have followed out the same line, but now comes the most valuable Limerick Contest of all, as lutely free to the best line to com plete the following Limerick:
 "A musician set out on a quest,
 Good Pianos to put to a test,
 Hallet & Davis he tried,
 And very loudly he cried,
 The names of the pianos handled by A. M. Vack are among the finest in dhe world. The famous old Hallet & Davis piano of Boston, The Con- way another leading Boston make, and the Kimball, which has the larg- est output of any piano concern in the world.
 MT. vack is the only distributor for these pianos in this vicinity, and it is 1QGnClIy HIS IhdIIlG WlLIl IneSO pldIIOS and impress his location in the minds of piano buyers that this contest is run.
 Certainly the instruments and the fairness of this offer must appeal to all. MT. Vack states in his advertise ment by this method he will get in direct touch with piano buyers and succeed in introducing his name into thousands of homes. Certainly it seems that this unique method will arouse a great deal of interest, and will pro- duce the publicity for which the firm is running the contest. There will be no charge whatsoever to enter the cont test.-Adv.

WALLS IN BUILDING TO
BE TAKEN DOWN AGAIN
Mistake Made in POStOffiCe
Work.
Costly Work Undone in
Order to Lay First
Tier Properly

Because the first tier of ornamen.
tai brick laid in the construction OF
the new Government building were
not placed properly, the work had tc
be undone yesterday, and many square
yards of masonry were torn down tt
the initial point, at considerable cos
to the contractor.
None but the keen eye of a con.
tractor could detect the error, bu
he knew that Uncle Sam was eX
ceedingly particular and would no
stand for mistakes.
So briokmasons, with cold chisels
weer engaged yesterday cutting away
the firm cement work.
According to the specifications, thu
first row of brick resting upon the
granite foundations should have beer
laid endwise with Lamar street
whereas, by mistake, the brick Were
laid sidewise. None but the contrac
tor discovered the error
II really WOulu nave Uldu6 no I'LL
ference whatever in the appearance,
or stability of the building, but Uncle
Sam was paying for the job to b.
done his way, and when it was founC
that the brick had not been laid az
he had directed there was nothing t
do but pull it down
And down the outer walls came
right to the bottom.
Back at the starting point again
the first row of gray pressed bricl
were put in endwise and the worl
will now proceed.
Good progress is being made in thu
construction of the Government
building A great deal of the stee
framing is in place and the QUITE
walls are going up rapidly. Bal
weather has delayed progress con
sideraly during the month, but tn
work is being pushed rapidly.
Unless unexpected delays ensue
the building will be entirely complet
ed within five months or by the frs
| of January at the latest.

Gov. Tilden said that there was no
reason why within the course of a
few years, the United States should
not raise a harvest of 5000 100000
bushels of corn. He ventured to pre-
dict the money value of a harvest of
that kind at not far from 81 500 ,00O,-
600, and in graphic manner depicted
the relation of so great a harvest as
that to the prosperity of American
railways. In the last five or six years
of Gov. Tilden's life he frequently
in private conversation, referred to
the weath-producing possibilities for
the American people that lay in the
production Of Indian corn. What
he then predicted is this year realiz-
ed. We are to have at least a 5000
100000 bushel harvest of Indian corn
and the money value of that will be
from $1,60OO,OOO,O0O to a little under
81, 900 100000.
1t also means no idle cars for the
railroads, renewed net earnings of
great amounts, the ability of Ameri-
can financiers to lend to some extent

LAND HOGS IN THU WEST
Farmers Have More Than They Can
Work InteIIigentIy.
New York POSt.)

Kansas is in danger from land
hogs, is the opinion of a Chicago
wheat expert who has been touring
the state. THE farmers are all try
ing to handle all the land that Joins
them, and there is danger in the op-
GRAFTON. They want to get rich quick,
but it seems to me that they have
gone about it in the wrong way. Every
cent many of them earns goes back
into more land, and the result is that
many farmers have more land than
they can work intelligently and thor
oughly. Sumner county, for instance,
has population of only about $4,000,
and there is land enough in it to keep
$4,000 people busy raising crops The
farmers have acquired wide stretches
OF territory Instead of combining
their efforts to one portion of their
land and working it scientifically,
they potter around all over their hold
ings, with the result that their work
is not half done. If the farmers would
work Onefourth of their acreage and
work it well, they would make more
money than they are making now.
Then, there is another condition
in Kansas that needs remedying, and
that is the helter-skelter manner in
which the farmers out here plant
wheat, with no regard to varieties
We ship annually from the United
States to European markets from %
to 33 per cent of our wheat crop. Our
wheat is studied in European coun-
tries, and they are finding much
fault They find our wheat exports
to be made up with a mixture of all
strains of wheat, and they really do
not know what they are getting.
There is a remedy for this. 1t
would be in concerted efforts
among the farmers to raise one spe-
cial strain of wheat, thereby pro-
ducing a uniformity that would give
the product a distinctive mark This
is done with other products Up in
Wisconsin, for instance, the stock
raisers of one county raise nothing
but one breed of cattle. The result
is that the county is known by buy
ers from all parts of the globe, who
patronize these stock rasers because
they know exactly what they are buy
ing. These men, too, get a better
price for their stock than they would
under ordinary conditions. This
scheme has been worked out in some
counties in apples. A distinctive fruit
has been grown and it has brought
top prices. This same condition would
apply to wheat if the farmers would
see the Importance of it and profit
by the experience of others. 1t seems
that there is an Unborn inclination on
the part of every farmer in America
to raise something different from
his neighbor"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever! nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by Catarrh' that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
