Great Scott How It Snowed and Slowed! THOS. F- LEONARD CO. A IONIC FOR THE NERVES' I I Nervaop peoplewho have not yet de velopea a disease that can be recognized and treated by the medical profession have the greatest trouble in finding relief. Irritation, headache, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, all these discomforts matte life miserable but are endured rather than run a doctor's bill without definite hope of recovery. Every such sufferer should know the danger of such a condition of the nervous system.

Nervous debility and even paralysis may easily result If the tone of the nerves Is not restored. The one big fact that brings hope and relief Is that the nerves can be restored by building up the blood. It cannot be too often repeated that only through the blood can nourishment and medicine reach the nerves. Dr. Williams Pink Pills make the blood rich and red and quickly restore vitality and energy to a weak nervous system.

A nervous person who gives these pills a trial Is almost certain to see good results and, what IS ifibre, the benefit will bo lasting because the trouble is attacked at Its root. Thin blood makes weak nerves. Building up the blood restores the nerve force Get a box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills today and write the Dr. Williams Medicine Schenectady, N.

She had big woolen gloves on and her face was covered with a heavy veil. I made sure to keep -warm, she said when some one asked her if she was bound for the North Pole. A tour of the other offices revealed that there were but few office attaches on hand and a person could hear a pin drop things were so quiet. Window Blown In.

The train which left Carbondale at 10 dock this morning did not arrive In Scranton until nearly 11.30. When It arrived in town the train, which consisted of three coaches, had to be operated by two engines. On this train a large number of people who had been forced to stay over in the Pioneer City last night got in Many of them said that the storm in the upper section of the valley was something which they have not seen In their lives before. Even the old timers are stumped for an urgument on the snowstorms they had years ago.

It was stated by officials of the company today that the storm was the worst they ever remember and this too, taking into consideration the well known blizzard of March, 1888. They said that trains that are running have to proceed with the utmost caution because the signals are all covered with ice and snow and It Is unsafe to run with any degree of speed. The southbound track was tied up from 2 oclock this morning until after 11 oclock because of an engine getting off the hack at the Ore Ridge station. This was a southbound freight. The wreck completely tied up all traffic on the southbound track.

In an endeavor to get a train through the drifts in the lower section of the valley six engines were pressed Into service. The train, which was composed of six cars, did not proceed very far as the engines pulled out the draw-heads. Many engines rare crippled on this account. The regular passenger engines are being aided by freight engines, as the freight traffic Is completely abandoned. All Mine Idle.

During the whole of last night the company tried to keep the line open by running cars at frequent Intervals, but this had to be given up after a short while as tte cars became stalled in open sections in the lower valley, Mr. Murray, traffic manager, said today that It is the worst storm that he ever hah had to contend with, but Is in hopes of having everything in good condition before night Reports from all aJong the route of the road say that the drifts are something terrible, in some places being as high as twenty feet While we are in bad shape," Mr. Murray said, nevertheless we are in better circumstances than many of the Bteam roads.

We are running three-car trains with a combined voltage of 1,500, and are pleased with the way" we are keeping things going, though we are not running on a. fixed schedule.
