The viaduct committee of tho "West Bide board of trade, K. M. Clarke, D. D. Evans, John R. Furr, Charles 13. Dunlels and T. Fellows Mason, held a conference with Recorder Connoll yes terday regarding the possibility of Slaving a sulllclctit sum of money in cluded In tho bond ordinance for the erection of a viaduct over the "West Lackawanna nvenuo crossing. The committee were very cordially received by tho recorder, who assured them Mini ho was in favor of the via duct, and stated his preference In lavor of u structure on the southerly side of the street. This is the proposi tion which tho committee is now ad vocating. The recorder was of the opinion, however, that Instead of Incorporat ing tho sum needed for a viaduct In ihe present bond ordinance, It might better be provided by a separate ordi nance. The committee feel that now Is the proper time to include the via duct, If possible. They also feel that the councllmen from the AVest Scran ton wauls should bo a unit on this matter and should insist on the appropriation being. In cluded in the present ordinance, ns well ns others are doing for other sections of the city. They further contend tnal the right of way necessary can be purchased for about $100,000, and that a suitable via duct can be built for $SO,000. If tho Blicet railway company wants the light of way over it, they should be compelled to pay at least half the cost of construction. The committee proposed to the 10 corder that a record oe made of the number of people, street cats and ve hicles that pass over the crossing in one day, and also the number of delays occcusionod by tho switching of trains and the loss of time thus entailed. They also argued in favor of tho public market place beneath the via- Dtifottr's French Tar Will promptly rclice and speedily cure roughs, colds and all lung trouble. For sale by G. W.

Keller, of Qlrard, Kans., is a veteran who saw long nnd hard ser vice In the civil wur With the Ono Hun dred and Fifty-fourth Indluna Volun teers und ho tolls muny a story of bi vouac and battle. Ho was recounting some of his adventures to a reporter the other dny. "Of all my cxporlenco In the war nnd out of it," ho said, "ono is most often uppermost in my thoughts. I hud strained my hip In some manner but I thought I had got over it all right. About two years utter that, however, when I was plowing for wheat I gave out again in that spot. Rlioumntlsm set in und I had to ault work. 1 tried one thing after the other to get soma re lief from the pain but nothing that I took helped mo nt all and I became dis couraged. "Tho cords of my left leg were drawn so badly that I could not straighten It out at all, nor could I sit down. My hip and knee pained me and I suffered hor ribly. At times also I had' nervous headache. After trying a number of things, my daughter, Mrs. Fry, who had been cured of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, induced me to try that remedy. My case was a very stubborn one and I took Ave boxes of the pills before 1 could see much change but I kept on and they certainly did wonders for inc. The cords In my leg began to slnken and before long It Umbered so that I could use It again and be able to sit down. My kidneys had been bad and the pills soon made them better, too. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are a grand, good medicine and I recommend them to all who suffer as I did." The leal cause of lheunintlsm is the. presence of acid In tho blood, which iirltates the sensitive tissue that unite the joints und cover the muscles, thus causing those Indescribable tortures which lhcumatic sufferers endure. Years ago those ufllloted were bled: as If tuklng away some of the impure blood could remedy the balance. This folly has been abandoned and today physicians prescribe and druggists recommend tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink PI113 for Pale People, as these marvelous vegetable pills go dlrcetly to the seat of tho trouble, exerting a powerful influence in purifying and en riching the blood by eliminating poison ous elements and renewing health-giving force thus making a potent remedy for cuilng tills disease. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are an unfailing specific for all dis eases arising from impoverished blood or shattered nerves. They cuie not only rheumatism but locomotor ataxia, partial parlysls, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache, after-effects of grip, of fevers and oX other acute diseases, palpitation of tho heart, anaemia, pale and sallow com plexions, nnd all forms of weakness.
