Dr. M, F. Stein tlie famous Eye Speciaist
Will cure you. Many people become all but totally blind and at
an early age, simply because they pay no attention to their eyes. They notice
a dimness and soreness after reading a while and when a miserable headache
comes to them they ascribe it to any cause but the right one and take a pill.
The real cause of their misery is that their eyes are weak and every time they
read or write means and sdded strain, and their eyes made weaker. Consultation with a specialist means the ending of all misery, and the saving of your
eyesight: Dr. Stein is reliable, you do not see him once and then look for him
again in vain. He is going to make special visits to your town Come and see
him and have 3*0111* eyes scientifically tested free of charge, that you maj' have
comfort when you read and write.    He wiil be at tbe
Harmon House; Monday and
Tuesday, Aug. 6 and 7.

Passing of Stone Age.
J. S. Clarkson Says Cement Is Now
In Demand.   Seek it in the West.
•The stone age is passing, and • the
age of cemeutis upon us," said General
J. S. Clarkson at the Auditorium yesterday. "American cities are in the
rough, a,nd thej' must in the next few
years be completed so that they will be
safe and sanitary. The work of development will be done in great part
witb Portland Cement. That will be
the material for bridge piers, for foundations of buildings, for conduits and
fOr the tunnels in which underground
transpoitation will in time be placed."
General Clarkson was formerly tbe
Warwick of Iowa politics, but now be
is a resident of New York. As president of the New York and New Jersey
Bridge Company and also of the Monolith Improvement Company, related industries, he is doing much work to
bring about the rapid approach of the
cement era of modern cities, in which
he believes.
"Our own crying need for quantities
of cement is for use in the towers of
our Hudson River bridge. The Hudson is an old arm of the sea, aud 100
feet of silt is deposited in its bed. To
secure foundations for the towers we
must sink through this silt to rock
bottom. Our caissons, the modern
substitute for the coffer dam, will be
filled up with cement and will form
the basis of the towers. The towers
themselves, in order to carry the vast
span of the bridge will be thirty-fife
feet taller than is the Washington
monument, so you may_ imagine what
quantities of cement that will be required.
"The bridge will cross the Hudson
River from Weehawken on the 'Jersey
side to Fifty-ninth street in Manhattan. Its span will be 3,800 feet long,
exactly twice that of the Brooklyn
bridge, and its arch above the river 160
feet above high tide. The bridge will
carry eight railroad tracks on its lower
level and on the upper roadways tramways and a bicycle path. Work will
be commenced inside of twenty-four
days. The contract was let at a figure
of $23,000,000.
* "There is now but a single railway
system having entrance 'into Manhattan Island, while some "fourteen debouch on the Jersey.shore of the Hudson. The bridge will allow all of the
latter a way into New York. A great
union station will be built somewhere
on Mauhattan, and ir, will receive all
the roads that cross New Jersey in an
effort to gain Now York. The terminal facilities of our bridge on tbe New
York side will cost us some §60,000,000
fOr real estate alone.
"We are now endeavoring to get
from the New York City sinking fuud
commission a permit to build a great
freight terminal in connection with the
bridge. We want to erect an elevated
railway along the wharfage front of the
Hudson, extending clear from the
Harlem to the Battery. This would
facilitate the transmission of freight
as nothing else could do. It would, in
connection with the bridge save ferry-
age and carting and allow a car to be
moved directly from the railway to the
ship's side.
"New York, now casting about for
means to save the commerce she fancies threatened by other cities, can hit
upoe no other contrivance so well calculated as is this to facilitate her
handling of freight as between tbe car
and the ships.
"As I said, cement is taking the
place of stone. Our bridge, gigantic as
it is, is but a fraction In the municipal
improvements which are under way.
We must complete our cities, make
them sanitary, safe and finished. In
this work Portland cement will be the
largest contributor.
"Our wires and conduits must go
underground; our rails and transp >r-
tation must follow. All cbisa«s unite
in tho tl^mi'id-sa.ipUalisis wh) will
furnish the msitus,- laboring man who
will furnish tbe muscle, and the families, who, living iu our cities, wast
safe streets'"—Chicago Times "Herald,
April 23, 1900.

Was It a Miracle?
"The marvellous cure of Mrs. Rena
J Stout of Consumption has created
intense excitement in Cam mack, Ind."
writes Marion Stuart, a leading druggist of Muncie, Ind., "She only
weighed 00 pounds when her doctor in
Ydrktown said she must soon die.
Then she began to use Dr. Kings New
Discovery and gained 37 pounds in
weight and was completely cured." It
has cured thousands of hopeless cases,
and is positively guaranteed to cure
all Throat, Chest and Lung diseases.

Plymouth Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showing the Cost and Value of Binding
Twino, based on the supposition that a farmer needs, to bind bis grain,
300 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, or Standard Twine, which runs 505 feet
to the pound.
Three hundred pounds of Plymouth Standard or Sisal will give him
151,500 feet.
151,500 ft. of,505 ft. to the lb., weighs 300   lbs. @ 14c will cost S42.00
151,500 ft. of 480 ft. to the lb., weighs 315f lbs. @ 14c will cost S44.19
151,500 ft. of 470 ft. to the lb., weighs 322J lbs. @ 14c willcost §45.13
151,500 ft. of 450 ft. to the lb., weighs 3365 lbs. @ 14c will cost$47.13 ^
151,500 ft. of 430 ft. to the lb., weighs 352J lbs. @ 14c will cost $49.33
We have recently tested twine sent us for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430 feet to the pound.
The PLYMOUTH Twines are the only ones of these grades that run
505 feet to the pound. You saye by buying them, over the lowest
grade,'$7.38 on 300 pounds, or S2.44 per 100; or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents per pound, the other
should sell for 11 66-100 cents, to be as cheap, and others in proportion
The Moral is. buy PLYMOUTH Twine, and save money, and. the
annoyance of loose bundles, caused by poor twine.
