TASTELESS
MEDICINES.
A prominent New York physician lately
complained to DUNDAS DlCtl & CO.,
about their Sandalwood Oil Capsules,
stating that sometimes they cured miracu
lously, but that a patient of his had taken
llioni without effect. On being informed
that several imitations were sold,, he in
quired and found his patient had not beeu
taking DUNDAS DICK & CO'S.
What happened to this physician may
have happened to others, and DUNDAS
DICK & CO.. take this method of protect
ing phyeiciant drnyytttt and t hansel vet, and
preventing Oil of Sandalwood from com
ing into disrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the
Cnspusles will continue to do so, for they
contain the pure Oil in the best and cheap
est form
DUNDAS DICK & CO., use more Oil or
SAndallwood than all the Wholesale and
Retail Druggists aud Perfumers in the
United States combined, and this is the
sole reason why the pure Oil is sold
cheaper in their Capsules than in any
other form-
OIL OF SANDALWOOD is fast supered
ing eveiy other remedy, sixty Capsules
only being required to insure a safe and
certain cure in six or eight days. From do
other medicine can this result be had.

Railway Project.
a bio combination new coal route
opened to buffalo what it
MEANS.
A late number of tho Elk County
(Pa.) Democrat states that a consolida
tion has been effected between Buffalo,
Brad 'O d and "Pittsburgh ltailway Com
pany (formerly the Elk & McKean
Company,) the Daguscahonda Improve
ment Company, the Brandy Camp llail
road Company, the Northwestern Min
ing & Exchange Company, and the in
terests known as the Shawmut property.
By this consolidation it is proposed to
open up a road from Wilcox to Buffalo
and Rochester, and thus furnish an out
let for the mineral wealth of that part
of Pennsylvania to the west via Buffalo,
and to the east via Rochester. The
consolidated company comes at once
into tho possession ol the 2Gb miles of
the finished road of the Buffalo, Brad
ford & Pitsburgh, five miles of Dagus
cahonda road, and the sixteen miles of
the Shawmut road, together with a
large number of engines, cars, and
many thousand acres of coal and timber
lands.
What this means.
' It apPears that the Erie Railroad
Company owns 1,200 acres of coal lands
in Elk county, Pa., known as the Shaw
mut lands, which it bought four years
ago for 61,000 000. These lands are
situated sume fitly or sixty miles west
of Emporium and are at preseut accessi
ble to Buffalo only by the B., N. Y. &
P. and Philadelphia & Etie roade by a
long circuitous route. The new route
which it is proposed by the consolida
tion to open, would be much shorter.
It would include the Buffalo & James
town Railroad from Buffalo to Dayton,
thence cast on the Erie road to Carrol
ton, and thence south on the Buffalo,
Bradford & Pittsburgh roud to Giles
villa. All this road is now built and iu
operation. There would remain to bo
built the link between Gilesville and
Wilcox, which in a direct lino is about
28 miles. With this constructed a
much shorter route from tho Shawmut
coal lands to Buffalo would be opened
than at present exists.
The other parties in this consolida
tion, such as the Brandy Cump Rail
way Company and the Daguscahonda
Improvement Company, are works of no
great importance within tba Shawmut
coal land region.
ANOTHER PROJECT.
Whether or not this consolidation has
been or will be formed may be a ques
tion through the Elk county papers speak
of it as an accomplished fact. We may
add, however, that another project has
been formed for reaching the same
lands. It is simply the extension of the
McKean branch of the Buffalo, New
York & -Philadelphia road from Bishop
Summit, which is at the Buffilo Coal
Couipauy'y lands, to Johusonburg, a
distance of thirty-two miles. This
would open a route from the Shawmut
lands to Buffalo as direct as the first one
mentioned, and its friends claim the
new roud would bo necessary to build
would be much less difficult rade.
At any rate the completion of coal
routes is pretty sure to bring soft coal
to Buffalo at the bottom rates. BuJJalo
Express.
Buffalo will yet discover there is
coal in McKean county. She has an
inkling of it but it look a loug time to
find out what little is known-
Eiijhteen years ago the Buffalo,
Bradford & Pittsburgh Railroad was
talked of and some money furnished to
explore Lie land lor coal. Car load af
ter cur load was shipped to Buffalo, but
it was opculy declared that the coal was
not tukco from Mclieau county,
J. ne editor ol this paper was associa
ted with Dr David Jfaio Owen m niak
ing a geological survey and report, and
every statetrent coutained therein has
been proved by actual exploration and
mining, finally a road 'was built
tLrougti Cattaraugus county, N. Y., aud
Potter and Cameron counties, Pa., to
open up the McKean county coal.
Of course it was a failure so far as
McKean county coal was concerned,
and this blunder was remedied by add
ing a branch running within six miles
of the B., B. & P. Railroad, and now
known as the Buffalo & McKean Rail
way.
The Buffalo. New York & Philadel
phia R. R. and its extension the Buffalo
Si McKean, are paying institutions, and
tho men who built them did much for
Buffalo.
The Buffalo & Jamestown is also a
profitable feeder to Buffalo, and its pro
jeeiors deserve great credit, but it is
well understood that the old B. B. &
P. R. R. would have answered nearly
tb purpose ol both, and made Buffalo a
great manufacturing city more than a
dozen years ago.
Our flowing oil wells are within
seventy miles of Buffalo via Erie and
UuffaloiX Jamestown roads.
Will Buffalo becotue the seat of oil
refineries, or shall Jamestown, N. Y.,
- a. i ,
vuuuuue iu iuuu in iuis mailer.
Olean is already agitating the er
ection of a pipe line to bring our oil
within i each of oompeting railroad lines
and canal.
Buffalo mnst wake up and see that a
dozed years hence she shant regret her
unbelief in McKean conety oil, as she
does her want of faith in McKean
county coul. .
PAY AS YOU GO.
If you pay for goods when you buy
them, you will never be troubled with
the nigt-mare of debt, your sleep will be
sweet your dreams pleasant, and your
wife and children will greet you with a
tmile in the morning. Go to Powell
& Kimo's model store with your cash,
get more than its value and go borne
satisfied. They have adopted the cash
system, and tay it is working charm

An editor of great experience and
close observation says that a pngo of
solid, torse trade advertisements is gen
erally a map of a hundred men's capa
bilities in life. When we contemplate
doing business in a distant towu we
take up the paper of that town and from
its local advertising columns we get a
true picture of the mon we have to deal
with, a complete record of tho town, its
commerce its home trade, the facilities
of its store-keepers, its banks, and in al
most every case we can estimate the
character and feelings of the men wh0
are soliciting publio trade. The adver
tising page is a map of the town, record
of its municipal character, a business
coDftssioo of the citizens, and instead of
being the opinionated production of one
man it is freighted with the life
thoughts of a huudred.
Every man is to a certain extent a
mercantile establishment, and so lar as
tho business of soiling labor in returu
for money is concerned, it should be
conducted on the same basis. A family
is a social business firm of itself, aod
the head of the family requires all the
commercial sagacity displayed by a
New York merchant, only as lar as the
circumstances alter the case. A wise
man goes to the best market. Speak
ing ot these things ws must trace the
true cause of individual and genera
prosperity to tho advertising columns of
the inevitable county newspaper.
It you want any bl'ched or brown
muslins, from to 10-4 wide any
juality, go to head-quarters, Powell &

The-Modern Wonder. Expei
enced people are fouud wondering how
so perfect a sewing machine as the Wil
son Shuttle can bo made so perfect iu
every part, so thoroughly adapted to
the requirements of family sewing, and
yet be sold lor twenty dollars less than
any other first-class machine. The rea
son is easy and plain; with a fair profit,
because the most perfect machinery is
used iu its construction. The splendid
establishment, of the Company, and its
tu men so busiucss, is the best evidence
that this policy has beeu a success. Ma

Our Tj.mmkr Intmiests. Read
what the Clearfield Rijtullicun think
about it: The recent rise iu our
streams has inured to the substantial
benefit of our coutity after all, nothwith-
standing the low pricts received for
square tiuibir. About threu hundred
rails were sint to market, averaging
5,000 feet, making in ull l,5U0,OUO feet
atau average often cents per tout, mak
ing a return ol not less than $150,000.
We also sent about 100,000,000 Icet ol
logs to market, which will yield a re
turn of $300,000 to tho owners. At
least one-third of the logs ncre owned
by out owu citizens, and the balance by
Lcck Haven aud W illiumsport parties.
Now, bad these sales been made 'or
cash, the trumaction would be visibly
felt although much of the lumber, was
sold below cost, but the greater pottiou
having been sold on three, ai'd tix
months time, the commercial pul.su i
stiil low and deptessed. A large num
ber of raits wcie sold for less than it
cost to manufacture them and run them
to market. This is a little rough when
we take ioto consideration the fact, that
stumpage has heretofore been worth
from six to ten oonts, within reasonable
distance irotu the river and Clearfield
creek. The owners ot timber had bet
ter let it remain ou the stump, than
give it away aud only be rewarded for
their labor. They had better put in
their time at somethiug elsa and not
waste so much valuable raw material.
Go tu work, and raise wheat, corn, oats,
potutots, etc., and a panic, if it does
come, will not make them led half as
bad.

Sheriff Rotheruiel, says the Sunbury
Gazette, accompanied by Peter W.
Gray, Thomas Gauuon, John Weaver
and William Faust, last Saturday morn

nine prisoners for the penitentiary, con
victed and sentenced last week. The
sheriff reports the penitentiary as more
than lull, there being something over
five hundred cells in it, aud more thau
five hundred prisote s now incarcerated
within its walls. The authorities at
that institution informed the sheriff
that no more prisoners could be taken,
and that tho judges of the different dis
tricts would be io formed to that effect.
Under such - circumstances what a de
lightful time the sheriff of this county
will have in accommodating and retain
