A Minister's Good Work.
"I had a severe attack of bilious
colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
took two doses and was entirely cured,"
says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia,
Kan. "My neighbor across the street
was sick for over a week, had two or
three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four
days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some-
days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him
the next morning. He said his bowels
twcre in a terrible fix, tbat they had
been running off so long that it vvas almost bloody flux. I asked him if he
had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said,
'No'. I went home and brought him
my bottle and bottle and gave him one
dose; told him to take another dose in
fifteen and twenty minutefc. if he did
not find relief, but he.took no more and
was entirely cured." For sale by
Lister & Sheeder.
Litigation.
No.the trillionaire would not litigate.
Sooner would he endure an invasion of
hia rights. "Were I to litigate," he
protested, "I Should almost certainly
be the cause of numbers of innocent
lawyers dying rich!" This charming
anecdote shows conclusively that the
possession of great wealth does not
necessarily sear the finer sensibilities
nor deaden the springs of noble im-
milse.—Detroit Journal.
The laws of health require that the
bowels move once each day and .one of
the penalties for violating tbis law is
piles. Keep your bowels regular by
taking a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach apd Liver Tablets when necessary
and you will never have that severe
punishment inflicted upon you. Price,
25 cents. For sale by Lister & Sheeder,

Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich., says: "My wife
has been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed aloue.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work." This
supreme remedy .for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. It is a godsend to weak, sickly, run-down people.
Cure guaranteed. Only 50c. Sold by

HOME-MADE PHILOSOPHY.
Wimmin love too hear the rustlin ov
thare own silk ckirtz and the rattlin
ov thare own tungs.
Any man hoo iz moved by the wail
ov a baby iz not awltoogether lost in
the fog ov selfishness.
A good komplexshun iz not allerze
a syne ov good morals, and a saint
may have a werry bad liver.
He iz a far better man hoo crlze over
the deth ov hiz dog than the man hoo
rejoices over the deth ov his enemeeze.
Ninety per sent ov yoore friends feel
sorry wen yoo strike a streek of good
luck, and laff wen you strike a bad
street.
A pet pig iz the hardest too drive,
and the dog with his tail twixt hiz
legs may doo a good deal ov barkin
jist wen heeze gittin Teddy too run.
Both the good and the bad man seek
seklooshun; the first, too git away
from the crimze ov tho wurld, and the
latter, too git the wurld away frum
his crimze.
Perlitlkel intreege iz slowly but
shoorely winding every opportoonity
around the thums ov the fu, and no
grate perlitlkel party haz got the courage too cut the yarn.
The man hoo iz obleeged too wurk
at any thing intoo witch he can't put
hiz hole hart iz like a dog tryin too
sleep in a box that iz not half big
enough for hiz boddy.
Local Capital is Helping to
Build Big Cement
Works.
R. C. Carpenter, professor of experimental engineering at Cornell University, and consulting engineer of the
Great Northern Portland Cement Company of Detroit, arid H. H. Parsons,
Chairman of the Executive Cominiitee
of the same company, arrived in Pittsburg yesterday to arrange for the
awarding of contracts for about
81,000,000 worth of structural steel,
cement-making machinery arid other
apparatus. The company is capitalized at §5,000,000. It intends building
the largest cement work's in the world
at Baldwin, Mich., this year. About
40 Pittsburgers own §500,000 worth of
the stock, and Armin Schotte a local
engineer, has been selected to design
and have charge of the construction
of the great works. A conference
with Engineer Schotte and some of the
Pittsburg stockholders was held at the
Duquesne Hotel last night.
The company was but recently formed by Detroit capitalists: George
Anderson, a prominent Detroit banker,
being President; Charles A. Strelin-
ger, First Vice President; Burton W.
Yates, Second Vice President; David
Oglivie, Treasurer, and Charles B.
Parsons, Secretary. The board of directors at present includes Detroit aud
New York capitalists, but it is the intention to have three Pittsburg stockholders represented on the board*next
year.
Pittsburgers Heavily Interested.
Among the Pittsburgers who are
stockholders are John Stnel; Samuel
P. Conner, County Delinquent Tax
Collector; E. P. Remington, Samuel
Garrison, Secretary of the Expanded
Metal Fireproofing Company; J. V.
Sloan, Secretary and Treasurer of the
J. W.' James Company, and J. Frank
Murray of Muiray Bros.
The company has purchased 6,000
acres of land in' Michigan, underlaid
with valuable deposits of marl and clay
of the best quality. The deposits are
nexhaustible. The company will
rect at once a plant capable of producing 4,000 barrels of cement a year
and-will extend the works to a capacity of 10,000 barrels. The plant will be
situated in the very center of the Central West and it is expected that the
demand will grow as it has since 1S93,
when only 300,000 barrels of Portland
cement were made in America and
2,000,000 were imported. The importations were the same last year, but
the domestic productions was 4,000,000
barrels, Germany aloue produced
1S,000,000 barrels in 70'plauts aud consumed all but 3,000,000 barrels. Professor Carpenter said last night that
the indu&try was only in its infancy in
this country and he expected it to expand to marked proportions in the next
few years. Americans have- improved
the machinery, made better cement
and have reduced the cost from $3 to
$1.75 a barrel.
Lots of Steel From Here.
Professor Carpenter estimated that
the kiln building of the plant, which
will contain 20 kilns, would require
about 400 tons of steel, and that three
other buildings would take 800 tons
more. He said that this 1,200 tons of
steel would be bought in Pittsburg.
Professor Carpenter said that the
buildings would be made of steel frame
and cement, similar to the Walker
soap factory, on Herts Island^ which
they inspected yesterday. Professor
Carpenter with Engineer Schotte received estimates from> Swindell Bros,
for 30 gas producers, and they will
visit other steel firms in Pittsburg today with reference to steel and machinery contracts.
Professor Carpenter said that Pittsburg did not make all the cement machinery that could be used, but he felt
almost certain that contracts aggregating §250,000 would be given here.
He said that the great materials of
the future for building were cement
and steel, as wood was fast becoming
scarce. The .demand," too, is for a
strong, Indestructible and fireproof
structure, so that steel and cement
alone, he said, fill the conditions.
Engineer Schotte is at present doubling the capacity of the Alpha Portland Cement Works, at Alpha, N. J.
He designed the Walker Soap Works,
Auto Car plant, at Hawkins; Pennsylvania Malleable Company plant, at
McKees Rocks, and the Mesta Machine
Works, at Homestead.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

"My baby was terribly sick with the
diarrhoea," says J. H. Doak, of Williams, Oregon. "We were unable to
cure him with the doctor's assistance,
and as a last resort we tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. I am happy to say it gave
immediate relief and a complete cure.

Plymouth Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showing the-Cost and Value of Binding
Twine, based on the supposition that a farmer needs, to bind his 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 $42.00
151,500 ft. of 480 ft. to the lb., weighs 315f lbs. @ 14c will cost $44.19
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. Ydu save by buying them, over the lowest
grade,'$7.33on 300 pounds, or $2.44 pei*s100* or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents per pound, the other
should sellfor 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.
