All this is contingent, however, upon the ability of the latter to secure a majority of the stock for the new corporation, which of necessity they must have in order to assume the management. Authorized solicitors will shortly canvas among' the stockholders for the transfer of their stock. The directors of the road, in order to show their good faith in the matter, will head ths list.

A fair consideration will be offered for each share of stock, and it it presumed enough will readily be procured for the desired purpose. At present the stock is practically worthless and will remain so under thio or any other management for many years to come, as many thousand's of dollars will be needed to put the road proper shape for handling heavy traffic, such as it is proposed to haul, and pay the interest on the bonded indebtedness. "By accepting the above proposition," the Perry County Kailroad will form the eastern connecting link for a through line to the East Broad Top coal fields, and the dream of at least two venerations realized. A line has already been surveyed from Loysville to connect via Liberty Valley with the Tv.scarora Valley Railroad another link and further on with the Shade Gap Railroad and thence into the soft coal fields. Like a string to a bow this will shorten the route to the soft coal region possibly twenty five miles, and we are promised within five years or less a tonnage of possibly, and indeed probably, i.n,:r.noo tons a year, out of a region which at least 00.000.000 tons ready to be "Then.

Iron ore will be used at home profit ably, and onr paint ores and fine pipe clay utilised. This is no idle dream, but a probability. "Again, the people along the line are promised as eSlleient service as before. The whole line will be overhauled and put in first class shape. All the liabilities of the Perry County Kailroad will be assumed.

"The gentlemen back of this move, we are assured by undoubted authority, are amply able to meet all obligations they rr.r.y shoulder. "The future of the county looks bright.

Lehigh Valley officials appear to be in the dark as to Mr. Cottier's plans, although they anticipate nothing more startling than a vigorous arraignment of the management.

Xew Mckel Rail The Pittsburg Leader says: "The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has decided to substitute nic kle street rails on all the heavy curves for the steel rails now in use. For two years the company has been experimenting with iHckle on many of the heavv curves in the Allegheny mountains. These rails have been put in the upgrade track, and although the service is not as heavy as it would be on the downgrade tracks there has always been considerable wear on the standard rails and stretches of new track have to be replenished frequently. The nickle steel have been in service for the past two years have given perfect satisfaction. Orders have been placed by the Pennsylvania for 5.C0 tons of the new style rails at a cost of $74 a ton as against $2S a ton for the standard rails.

They will be instituted first on the eastbound tracks of tiie Pittsburg division and eventually all over the system."

This is not entirely the result of our changeable climate, but because modern investigation has clearly proven that many diseases, known by other names, are really catarrh. Formerly the name catarrh was applied almost exclusively to the common nasal catarrh, but the throat, stomach, liver, bladder, kidneys and intestines are subject to catarrhal diseases as well as the nasal passages. In fact, wherever there is mucous membrane there is a feeding ground mua ruwimrommnt finMinAtiMKnW hhjmamham JJAvvc Sf felP SS I ff Wfi fijilR lfr BFS'SS. mSSW Ifeptrfl tlf 1 W1! Llll Sfei 1 I VWOiWVUil AvnAfcSUUvuuiSvi iUVAhnAuV.S, ju yv ljDjUufWVIitfi for catarrh. The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays, douches or powders, have been practically failures, as far as anything more than temporary relief was concerned, because they simply dry tip the mucus secretions, without having the remotest effect upon the bloou and liver, which are the real source of catarrhal diseases.

It has been known for some years that the radical cure of catarrh could never come from local applications, but from an internal remedy, acting on the blood and expelling tlie catarrhal poison from the system. A new internal preparation which has been on the market only a short time, has met with remarkable success as a genuine radical cure for catarrh. It mav be found in any drug store, sold under the name of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets, large pleasant tasting lozenges, composed principally of antiseptic ingredients. Blood root. Red gum and similar catarrh specifics.

Dr. Amslee in speaking of the new catarrh cure says: "I have tried the new catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, upon thirty or forty patients with remarkably satisfactory results. They clear the head and throat more effectually and lastingly than any douche or inhaler that I have ever seen, and although they are what is called a patent medicine and sold bv druggists, I do not hesitate to recom mend them as I know them to be tree from cocaine and opiates, and that even a little child may use them wit; entire safety."

The "Harrisburg Plan" at Yale and Cornell Many complimentary expressions have been heard from every quarter since the adoption in this city of what is known as the 'Rarrisburg rian." Powerful metropolitan dailies, humble yet stolid country weeklies, national and even foreign magazines, scientific publications, all have been by no means loath to take note of and commend the progressiveness of a city which would not only consider but nearly unanimously decide that the dust 'of ages must be swept away and in its place reared a town that should in every wise be a credit to its exalted position as Capital of the State and a monument of civic pride and admiration. Xot only by means of printers' ink were the ood people of this city and their agents, the Board of Public Works, made cognizant of their honorable undertaking, but they have been told so by personal letters from many men noted for their public spirit, and from organizations the only function of which was the improvement of municipal conditions. Notwithstanding this seemingly endless chain of congratulation and commendations, there still remained a class from which no open and public acknowledgment had come. This class.is made up of the unfortunately called theorists," the heads of the departments of the technical institutions of the country. The men, whose practical experiments are only in explanation of their theories.

However, the plan of Consulting Engineer Fuertes was so original in many ways, so stpendous in others, and seemingly so productive of beneficial results, that it caught the attention of at least two great institn tionsjjf the country which found its expression in the request received a few days ago from Cornell and Yale that the specifications and general scheme of the "Harrisburg Plan" be PILLOW.

Naturally there was profuse handshaking among the members of the Board of Public Works and those in charge of the extensive improvements, for as one member expressed himself, the plan must necessarily be a good one if institutions wiiose views cn engineering matters are unquestioned consider a plan good enough to discuss in their class rooms and hold up to their students as models of engineering skill. The portion of the general scheuie which these institutions most wanted was the plan of the great intercepting sewer. This feature of the work is, on account, of many of the internal and surrounding circumstances, the only one of its kind yet planned. In shape it is4 a parabola, runs through a thickly settled community, is vast in the extent and presents questions to its future conquerors that are perplexing and hard to overcome, and for these reasons the authorities at the universities referred to have deemed it wise to exhibit the scheme to their students. That the instructors in the engineering departments believe the plan is worth considering is proven by the fact that a request was made for the information that could be given on the matter.

General outline, grade, dimension, material to be used, condition of soil, in fact all possible specifications were called for, and with all this will the "Harrisburg Plan" be thrown on the boards before the eyes of many students representing many sections of country and counties. As an advertising agency this last move will probably do more than any previous combination of circumstances could do and will, wherever known, redound to the credit of not only those in authority but every yoter who helped make real the dawn of a Greater Harrisburg.
