Before tho accident he had been away from work for several days owing to an Injury to the left foot. Ho had returned to his work .two days before. J. V. Hollenbeek has returned from his visit at Charleston, West Virginia. He was the guest of T. Franklin Krle ger, of that city, an old friend. Dr. Glle, of tho Emergency hospital, was In Jermyn on Tuesday In consul tation with Dr. M. J. Shields, upon a very critical surgical ease. Colonel Copeland gave the second ot the New Century club's lectures on Tuesday evening. There wns a fnlr audience who listened to the entertain ing lecture.

The weather was so un There are men who imagine that out-door work is a Rovereitru cure for all ills. They work like slaves at their business, tak.e insuffi cient time to rest and sleep, and abuse aim neglect their i.o-i.i. i.. .. wav Tlipn u'hfti they break down, they keep on just as before, except that in addition to ',, their usual work, uiey go uui every day and spade a little in their gar- rlntiti rV tru tr imitate Mr. Glad 1 NW stone by cutting -4,. down a tree or XC- chopping the iani-- ily fire-wood. A more ridiculous method of curing a man who is suffering from nervous exhaus tion and is threatened with nervous pros tration could not be well conceived. A man who has overworked does not need more work, but less work and more rest. The man who has lost his appetite needs some thing to restore i(. The man whose nerve are shattered needs something to tone and strengthen them. Get the nerves right and sound, and refreshing sleep will follow. A man who sleeps well and eats well, and digests and assimilates his food will not remain ill. In cases of this kind Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery goes to bed rock to first causes. It creates a hearty appetite; it makes the digestion and assimilation perfect; it invigorates the liver; it purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements of the food. It builds up new flesh, new muscle and new nerve fibres. It is an unfailing cure for nervous exhaustion and nervous prostration, and the bett of all medicines for overworked men and wo men. An honest druggist won't urge an inferior substitute upon you, thereby in sulting your intelligence. It is to dealer's business to sell you what you ask for not what he prefers for selfish profit's sake to sell. A man or woman who neglects constipa tion suffers from slow poisoning, Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipa tlon. One little " Pellet " is a gentle laxa tive, and two a mild cathartic. All medi. cine dealers sell them. O .7r CoMV (' ir "4j!M rail i im m If '? vW If nl . - X2S0 wsk favorable that tho attendance was less than would have been under moro fav orable circumstances.

Remarkable Succe.is of 'a New Pile Cure, People who have Buffered for years or months front the pain nnd incon venience of that common disorder, piles, will look with skepticism upon tho claims of tho makers of tho new discovery for euro of all forms of piles, known under tho name of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary cures performed by this remedy are such as to warrant tho Investigation of any sufferer. As a case In point tho following letter speaks for Itself: Mr. Henry Thomns, of sub-station No. 3, Hosack Ave., Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: Pyramid Drue Co.: Gentlemen: I want you to use my name It it will be of any use to you. 1 was so bad with tho piles that I lost work on that account. Nothing did mo any good. I read In Cincinnati of tho mnny euros ot piles by the Pyr-wild Pile Curo and I went to a drug store nnd asked for It. The drug clerk told mo that ho had something else that ho thought wns better, but I told him thnt I wanted to try the Pyramid first. The first box helped mo so much that I tried nnothcr nnd then to complete the curo used two more boxes, making four In all. I am now completely cured. Have not n trace of piles and I had suffered for four years with tho worst form of protruding piles. I suffered death from piles, but I have found the Pyramid Pile Curo to be Just as represented. I have recom mended It to several of my friends and I inn thankful to bo able to write you what good the remedy has done for me." Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure because it contains no opium, cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind, and because it Is so safe and pleasant to use, being painless and applied at night. The patient Is cured in a sur prisingly short time with no Incon venience whatever. Tho Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists nt no cents per package, and If there Is any constipation It Is well to use tho Pyramid Pills at the same tlmo with the Pile Cure, as constipa tion Is very often the cause of piles and the pills effectually remove tho costive condition. Price of pills Is 23 cents per package. Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Albion, Mich., for little book on cause and cure of piles; sent bv mall free. Tuttle. Mrs. William Fox, Mrs. Nettle, Mr. and Mrs. J.

All grocer noil it 10e.uoo.nd a Shall the Government Own and Operate the Steam Railroads? Leonard Darbyshlre, In tho Home Maga zine. The argument for tho state purchase of railroads as based upon the exper ience of tho post-oirico, was thorough ly sifted by the lato Professor AV. S. Jevons as far back ns 1S74, and tho views advanced by tho distinguished Englishman nre even more applicable now than they were then. Ho enumer ates four principal conditions under which tho state nmnngemont of any industry Is or mny lie successful: 1. The work must be of an invariable and routine-like nature, so ns to bo per formed according to fixed rules. 2. It must be performed under tho public eye, or for the service ot Individuals who will at nnco expose any failure or laxity. X There must be very lit tle capital expenditure, so that each yenr's revenue and oxpetno account shall represent with approximate ac curacy tho real commercial succes'i of tho undertaking. 1. The operations must bo of such a kind that their un ion under ono all-extensive government monopoly will lead to groat advant age and economy. Of these principles tho third Is one of the highest practi cal importance, which must be consid ered In discussing any schemes ot state management; and one which, un der a government like that of tho United States at present, must general ly be decisive. Tho postal service obviously fulfills the conditions for successful govern ment management. Bailroads just as obviously do riot. The collection and delivery of letters are almost automat ic Jn their regularity. The non-delivery of late delivery of letters Is at once detected, nnd every person who sends or receives one may be said to he a volunteer watchman over the way In which the business Is performed. The great work of the pnst-olflce Is the con veyance of letters, but It does i ot own tho means of conveyance. It contracts with tho railways nnd other transpor tation companies. It pays for all ser vices, and throws no miinll portion of Its responsibilities upon those whom It engages. It does not even pay rent, as the government furnishes, free of cost, the use of 226 buildings for ofll ces and stations. RELATIVE EXPENSES. For the flscul year ending June "0, UDO, tho postofllce department ex pended $90,G2i,29C.S4, and Its receipts were $S2, 199,20"!. 10, an excess of expen diture over revenue of $S,127,0SS.41. The department received a grant from tho treasury of $0,000,000, still leaving a de ficiency of $2,127,0SS.14, Tho outstand ing Indebtedness due to tho postolMee amounted to $"13,231.0:!, The postof llce employs nearly 200,000 persons. A great contrast Is presented by tho rail road companies. Their aggregate cap ital necount amounts to over $11,300,-' 000,000. Of this $9,ri3n,7fi7.7I0 has been sunk in permanent works and equip ment. They own nearly 1SH.00O miles of railway, and their operating expendi tures amounted In 1S9S to $793.20S,2G!i. This vast sum Is the cost of eervlci s which they themselves perform. Our railroads have 30,080 locomotive en gines, 24.7SS passenger coaches, 7. si!) baggage and mall cars, and 1.230,or,l freight cars a totnl of l,31S,7iiS engins and cars of all descriptions. This enor mous amount of rolling stock has to be constructed, kept In repair, ai.d periodically renewed. Some Idea of the magnitude of our railway system may he gathered from the fact that for repairs and renewals to locomotives, passenger and freight ears alone, our railways expended In 1SH3 I93.707.9S9, or $3,1C3,C87 more than the aggregate expenses of the Unlttd States post- olllce department for the same year. The track stands In need of constant repair. A writer In the August North American Review says in this connec tion: "During .the past fifteen yeais tho Pennsylvania railroad company has annually expended millions of dol lars In straightening the alignment and reducing grades on that railroad. Tho entire toad from Philadelphia to Har lisbiiig practically has been rebuilt. T,u:e improvements have been carried forward on the Luke Shore railway, from Buffalo to Chi cago, until today that company has the greatest mileage of continuoiibly low-grade railroad in the world, enab ling that company to refund Its mort gage debt In a new consolidated bond at SVj per cent. the lowest rate of in terest on any railroad on eurth. Every dollar of advantage ac cruing from tho enormous disburse ments of these companies for better ments during fifteen years has been received by the people of the lTnltnl States In tho shape of reduced freight and passenger charge." TAXES. The railway companies pay $10,000, 000 for taxes, and, relatively hpeaklng. they aro taxed higher than any other kind of property. If the government undertook the management of the rail ways, they would havo to do much mnro than work the roads. They would have to become purchasers of railway supplies, ranging from axes, acid and antimony, to wick and wheelbarrows. For a railroad needs more than a road bed, ties, steel rails, cars and engines to pull them. 'Growing out of these general features aro demands for ma terials of such variety that the cata logue of the purchasing ngtMit is a good slz'.-d volume, wherein aro named several hundred articles in rr.oro or less constant use by the corporation. If the state took over tho railways it would have to hecome a manufac turer on a largo scale. Engines, coach es and wagons might be built by con tract, though this Introduces a dang TREATMENT FOR WEAK m. TRIAL WITHOUT EXPENSE.

It re quires some effort to imagine all the work Incidental to 183,000 miles of rail way turned over to a government de partment. "Who can detect," nays Joseph Nlmmo, Jr., In nn admirable ar ticle in tho Forum, "tho enormity of saddling upon our national government would attach to the ownership nnd con trol of 185,000 miles of railroad, and of placing upon the pay rolls of tho government 1,000,000 railroad employes, which number, under natlonnl adminis tration, would undoubtedly bo enor mously Increased! "Besides, petl'Ions for 'ho construc tion of new lines, backed by fierce political pressure, would come up from states, cities and towns, In all parts of the country. No government officers or commission would, bo nblo to with stand this torrent of appeal, although not one In ten of such now lines might ever pay running expjnses. Sucli a policy would probably end In the bank ruptcy of the government." Jt Is, of courso, possible for a public department to take this work In hand. Anything of the kind is theoretically possible. The great question Is wheth er It would be done efficiently nnd economically, and this must bo con sidered In the highest degree doubtful, when the motives springing from per sonal interest would bo to a large extent withdrawn and everything left to thft lifeless routine of oilltiallsm.
