Arthur Payne, a boy about twelve
years old, son of C. A. Payne, photo
graph artist, died to-day about twelve
o'clock of diphtheria. They have a
young girl sick with the same disease,
and it Is doubtful if she recovers.
Last week, George Schriner, a lad
about ten years old, fell forty feet
down an elevator shaft in the Tan
ning Co's drying loft, dislocating one
knee and fracturing some bones about
the same. The elevator extends to
the top of an eight story building
with landings on each floor. It seems
the boy has been In the habit of tak
ing hold of the railing and swinging
himself into the shaft. This time he
went to the fifth story and swung
himself over the railing when his
hands slipped oif, and he fell to the
bottom, and strangely escaped with
his life, but stranger still there seems
to be a sort of fatality about it, for the
boy says he never went near that
shaft but that he had an irresistuble
desire to swing in it, and in the boys
own worls he could not help it and
says if he was there now be believes
he would have to go through the same
performance. By-the-way, this is
the same boy that accidentally broke
Willie Cole's leg by running Into him
w tli a hand sled and both boys are
laid up for the winter, undergoing
repairs for the summer's campaign.-
A correspondent of the Derrick
writes from Bradford: The produc
tion of the district has gradually in
creased until at the present time it Is
estimated In round numbers at nine
thousand barrels. The pipe line runs
for the month of December showed
thnt about 8.400 barrels had been run
daily. During the last month the
pipe line runs will not give a fair esti
mate of the production of the district.
The increasing production and the
partial shut down on shipments about
a month ago has left the pipe line men
in an embarrassing position.' The
tankage controlled by the United
Lines aggregates about 223,000 barrels
which is found to be inadequate for
the increasing business of the region.
Wooden tanks of all sizes are being
built and many of the large companies
and heavy individual operators either
have tanks building or have let con
tracts for their immediate construc
tion. As early as April first the men
who best understand the drift of
things up north estimate that iron
tanks with a capacity of twp hundred
thousand barrels will be completed,
and that in three months from the
present time there will be iron tank
age for three hundred thousand bar
rels. When these are completed
should some combination of circum
stances, i. o. crooked dealings of the
Standard Oil Company not apparent
to the average producer, or an over
production bring about low prices, the
boys who ore now investing in sheet
iron will be able to load up to a hand
some advantage.
HEADACHES. THEIR CA USE
AXD CURE.
Billious headaches are caused by
the blood being overcharged withCar
bonaceon matter. It is commonly
called thick and "impure.'' There is
too little waste or effete matterthrown
off from the system, compared to the
nutriment taken into it. The system
may be likened to a stove. Abund
ance of fuel has been introduced, and
burning down, the drafts become
clogsred with ashes and cinders, and
the fire burns only feeble. It must be
cleansed, then the tire will burn
again. So with the system when it be
comes clngued. It must he cleansed.
Some headaches are nervous I. e. the
nerves are Irritated and weakened.
They need a nerve medicine, hut a
nerve medicine will not act when the
system is elotrjred. Dr. Fenner's Blood
and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic
both cleanses the system and builds up
the nerves and so cures all these dis
eases by removing the cause.
It causes the liver to throw off Its
bile. It cleanses out the entire Ali
mentary Canal and rids it of worms
and other vermin that inhabit an un
healthy stomach and bowels.
It completely cleanses and purifies
the Blood, and at the same time
strengthens and heals the Stomach,
Nervous system, Heart Lungs Kid
neys and all other tissues.
i)r. Fenner can cure any headache
in 8 to 10 minutes with his Golden Re
lief, but the Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Tonic prevents their com
ing on again by removing the cause.

The symptoms of worms in the in
testinal canal and abdomen are, the
parts bloated and swollen, and itching
of t lie anus. This is indicative of small
or thread worms, which are very pain
ful and annoying to both children
and adults. These worms have been
expelled in very large quantities from
children who were unable to sleep or
enjoy life at times, because of the great
annoyance caused by the worms. The
Sweet Worm Powders never fail to
help or permanently cure those who
follow the directions.
The Powders are guaranteed to be
perfectly harmless, aud recommended
by many of our best physicians in
their practice.

Kcuiurkahlo Success.
The success of the leading literary
paper of the West. The Chicago
Lkuoeb, is truly remarkable. Since
its introduction to the reading public,
six vears ago. The Lkdgk.r has
steadily advanced in favor, and is now
acknowledged second to no paper of
the kind in the country. Its circula
tion is national, aud has been obtained
through the efforts of its publishers to
produce a paper of nigh moral
character, and at the same time sell it
at a price consistent with the present
hard times. That they have suc
ceeded, and well, too, the thousands
of readers of The Ledger scattered
from Maine to Texas and from Oregon
to Florida will bear testimony. The
Chicago Ledger Is a large forty
eight column weekly paper, which
contains stories both complete and
continued, in each number, written
by the best authors of the day, and a
great variety of information iuterest
inir to everv one. The subscription
price of The Ledger is only $1.50 per
year, postage paid, ana it is equai in
every particular to other papers of the
same character which sell for a
year. Three copies of this valuable
paper will be sent to any one who
sends 10 cents and their address to
The Ledger, Chicago 111.
Notice is hereby given that apeti
Hon will be presented to tho present
Legislature of Pennsylvania to reduce
the waeres of Road Supervisors in Fox
