' The paving of Belmont street Is a sub ject upon which the residents of that part of the city are feeling sore. The ordinance has passed both councils and the contract has been formally award ed, yet nothing has been done toward commencing the work. The reason for this Is Inaction of the Traction com pany. Before anything can be done the tracks must be changed from the side of the street to the center. The com pany agreed to this, but as yet have done nothing. The season Is getting late, and the necessity of commencing la seen and many complaints have been made to both councils. They have done little toward hurry ing up the work, notwithstanding the appeals of the people. At last meeting, however, they woke up and an ordin ance compelling the Traction company to move their tracks was Introduced. The time given the company to begin the work was not decided upon. City Solicitor Stuart is out of the city at present, and it was thought best to await his return. The councilman mean business. They are tired of the course pursued by the Traction com pany, and mean to make them hurry up the work. Legal assistance will be lent the city (solicitor if needed. BICYCLISTS RETURN.

From thence they went to BloomAburg, Danville and Williams port. They left Wllllamsport at 11.30 Sunday morning, when they started on their return, coming by way of Can ton, Towanda and Tunkhannock.

It Is no longer a doubt, but a demon strated fact, that the power of magnetU-.n and electricity as used in the cure of chronle diseases ts the greatest aux iliary to medicine that is known to science at the present day, and some of the moct wonderful cuies have been performed Ly the proper use of the above mentioned powers. Dr. F. B. Smith and staff have employed those powers in the cure of chronic diseases for many years with the most remarkable good results, as the fol lowing case will show: Mrs. Groate. a lady about SO years old, came to Dr. Smith and staff. She was suffering with strict ure of the throat for about eight years. For over six years she had not swallowed a mouthful of solid food. She had -been compelled to live on tea. coffee, milk and the thlnest kind of soups. She had been doctoring ror years, but found no relief. She was told by several doctlrs that there was no cure, that all she could hope for was death, which would come by degress, or. In other words, that the passage to her stomach would close and she would starve to death. Living In utter despair a friend called her attention to an advertisement In the paper of the cures made by Dr. Smith and staff, and contrary to the ad vice of the family physician she com menced taking magnetic treatments. She was told that she had simply thrown her money away, that no doctor could cure her, but despite of all those protestations she Is today a living testimonial to the healing virtues of magnetism, for she was absolutely and permanently cured of her affliction by Dr. Smith and staff. If you are suffering with any complaint call on those doctirs at 60s Linden street, opposite the court house, and be cured. Consulta tion free from s to 5 dally except Sunday.
