Expected Oct. !.
4 Winding Stairway Will Cross

gineer. who is in close touch with
every feature of the work.
The overhead steel bridge has al

rest upon concrete abutments. The
length over all on the north side will
be 60 feet and on the south side 81

| bridge will be built of sufficient
strength to withstand the passage OF
the heavy trolley cars of the Lewis
| well as the many heavy laden teams
WHICH, pass tNeF TIE Iliil udiiy-
AS the work is now all going on east
of Water street, it's progress is not sc
much noticed by those on the bust
ness portion of Water street, but tht
work is, nevertheless. progressing with
| considerable rapidity. Gage street will
| be open to travel this week and thf
| big derrick has been moved across Wa
ter street to the top of Rines hill. All
of the work on the westerly side OF
Water street is now completed.
Superintendent Rourke stated Sat

fully three quarters completed any
about the same proportion of the con-
crete work done. The sinking of the
cribwork at the top of the hill for thu
| northerly abutment of the bridge is
| now in progress and portion of the
| fill of the crib for the southerly abut-
ment is already completed.
A number of persons have made in
quiries as to the manner in which
pedestrians are to be provided for with
the permanent closing of Court street
to teams. Engineer Witham stated
that the needs of foot passengers
would be provided for by winding
stairway crossing the tracks in SINH
lar manner to the stairway at Oak
street. -Fhe Court street stairway will,
however. be much neater in design and
will be constructed so that the ascent
and descent will be accomplished with
much less labor than at Oak street

any degree of comfort. I tried one
remedy after another in the hopes OF
obtaining relief but was unsuccessful
until l procured a supply of Doan's

RAW ECZEMA on HANDS

Fl had eczema on my hands for ten
years. I had three good doctors but
none Of them did any good. then
used one box Of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles Of Cuticura Resolveut
and was completely cured. Ny hands
wers raw all over. inside and out. and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottls. together with the Cuticura
Ointment. my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time had
used the third bottle. I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
o. blood disease I would honestly ad
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get cuticura and get well. Ny
hands have never given me the least
bit Of trouble up to now.
