I Are You Going is one of the main symptoms of that terrible disease called Rheumatism, which makes life a daily torture to many thousands. HAMLINS WIZARD OIL is a treatment which affords a positive cure for rheumatism and allied diseases. Applied externally, it relieves the pain at once. Taken inter nally, it cures permanently by purifying the blood of the lactio acid which causes the disease. Anthony Smith, of Mayville, 111, says: "I had such severe rheumatic pains in my arm and shoulder that I could neither work nor slesp and was fast losing all hope of cure, when I heard of and tried Hamlins Wizard Oil, two bottles of which performed a perfect, per manent cure.

DEATH OF M. M'KERNAN J. McKernan, one of Ash lev's olde residents, died yesterday afternoon at his home on Hartford street, Ashley, of lun trouble, from which he had suffered for the past two years. M. J.

McKernan was a son of the late Philit) McKeman and was as sociated with his father in the railroad cominar to Ashley In 186.. With his father he was emsaged about thirty years ago in many sections of he South and West, and was engaged on the bacta-itrack of the Lehigh and Kusouehanna railroad (now the C. R. of X. from Ashley to Solomon's Gap.

in 1867. after which the family hwjime nermanent residents of Ashley, T-t. became a merchant subsequently in Ashley and continued in various business enterprises there until he was taken sick two years ago. 'He was al-inv entn-nrlin2 and nubile spirited; and was recognized a one of the nrominent men of the town. The sym- nathv of the entire community is with the famtlv in their bereavement.

CABfPOllIA Bomtii tlht Kind YwHavHIwafl Bought Bignttwe of An article which has appeared in several of the daily papers says that niui surprise was occasioned in Lehigh Valley shop circles by a notice which has been posted at the various shops of the company to the effect that 1 ommericing with May 1st the company will inaugurate in all its shops from one end to the other end of the svstem, the piece work system. It is also stated that it was the orig inal intention to put the plan into ef fect April 1. but the opposition w-as so great, particularly at the big shops, that the officials decided to commence the inauguration of the plan slowly, hut it is the intention to make it ef fective, as it had been decided on by the company.

An official of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company was seen by a TIMES reporter-this morning and said that so fur as he knew no such notice has yet been ported at the company's shops in this city. This same official said: "The piece work system has been in operation at the company's car repair shops at Sayre, Packerton, Easton and Buffalo and also at other repair shops for several years, but so far as I know no attempt has ever yet been made to introduce this system into the locomotive repair shops, and do not anticipate any sucn move Deing maoe at the present time. As the shops in this city are strictly locomotive repair shops, I don't see how such an order could affect the men in this city even if they ere -put in effect, which I have no reason to expect will be the case. "As you are no doubt aware," continued the official, "wherever the piece work system is used there are certain changes made from time to time as to the method of operation, and I suppose it is from this fact the present rumor has gained circulation."
