HKAVT WORK BY WABtSH 1,1 SB
Expensive Track Ralldlnar Sow Being;
Die nr floold In Maryland.
In constructing the competing link on
the Wabash between the Western Mary
land railroad at Cherry Run and the West
Virginia Central railroad at Cumberland,
unusual obstacles are being encountered
and overcome. This new line, sixty-five
mlls In length, is a step toward the reali
sation of George Gould's dream to make
the Wabash 'railroad an ocean to ocean
line.
An Idea of the difficulties encountered
can be formed from the fact that In forty
miles this line crosses the Potomac river
nine times, the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
sev?n times, the Baltimore tt Ohio railroad
three times, passes through mountain
ranges and spurs by Ave tunnels, through
ridges and hills by. Innumerable cuts, and
many parts of the road are cut out of the
i-ocky sides of the mountain rangea di
rectly above the canal.
Continuous blasting along the sixty-five
miles of the route makes the line one of
the most expensive In the annals of mod
ern railroad building. The average cost
of the first five miles from Cumberland
has been J 250. 000 per mile, while the esti
mated cost for the sixty-five miles Is placed
at IKiO.OOO per mile. I'pon forty miles of
the line there are now engaged 2,629 men.
300 animals, nine locomotives and nine
steam shovels. A few days ago two cars
of powder were used In one blast at Sidling
Hill mountain, huge rocks being hurled
by the blast across the Potomac river.
The work of construction Has been going
on for eighteen months. It will take nearly
a year to complete the work.

held Saturday morning In the criminal
court room. A committee of the associ

W. West, William F. Uurley, C. H. Kubat
and Joseph Crow, presented resolutions ap
propriate to the occasion which were

SOME SECRETS OF
PATENT MEDICINES.
The Origin of Some of the
i Famous Medicines.
IF we could trace the origin of the
many things which enter into onr
daily life we doubtless would be
HMtiy surprised at what we would
learn. In some instances we would
find their beginning in mere accident.
In other cases we would find that they
originated in some stroke of geniers.
For instance, Comley'a History of New
York State states that :
"Of the men who have given wealth,
stamina and character to the Empire
State, the medical profession has fur
nished example in the successful and
tustly celebrated physician, Dr. R. V.
'ierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, Especially
educated for the profession, he early
supplemented his studies by extensive
and original research in its several de
partments. Devoting his attention to
certain specialties of the science he has
so carefully investigated, he has been
rewarded in a remarkable degree. That
his success ia real js evidenced by the
fact that his reputation as a man and a
physician does not deteriorate, and the
fact that there is a steady increasing
demand for his medicines proves that
they are not nostrums, but reliable
remedies for disease." Dr. Pierce's
establishment at Buffalo is one of the
show points of that flourishing citv and
ia well worth a visit just to see" how
modern medicines, even though they
be patent, are compounded with the
utmost skill, by trained chemists, and
on the most scientific principle. It is
also worth while for the purpose of
seeing the methods followed by which
each applicant, whether he be a cor
respondent or a patient at the hospital,
secures the care of eminent specialists
in medicines and surgery. Ouce these
things are seen, it will be speedily ac
knowledged by the most skeptical that
all patent medicine businesses are not
the frauds which some careless papers
have declared them to be.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery is a pure medicine, made from
barks, leaves and roots of plants aud
trees indigenous to America. It is a
remedy without alcohol or anv poison-'
ous ingredient and taken from the svl van
forests. It has stood the test of the
public's approval for the last third of a
century, tor purifying the blood it
has no equal for potiitiveness and
saiety. it is most enecuve for a
chronic cough, as it has a soothing
effect upon the mucous membrane of
the throat so that a cough is smoothed
out and at the same time the blood
vessels are given a stimulation which
throws off a cold, bronchitis or incipi
ent consumption. Really a cold is
nothing bat the etagnation'of the blood
. vessels of the human system. If people
want to remain strong and healthy they
should see that their kidneys are Active.
The medicinal value of out yltutt which
ynakea up a part of this good old
remedy, the "Discovery," is the posi
tive action it has upon the kidneys.
Many hundreds of testimonials have
been received by Dr. Pierce from those
people who hasre suffered from kidney
disease and have been cured by the use
of Dr.- Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. "Your 'Golden Medical Discovery'
cured me of rheumatism after I had
tried a dozen remedies without relief
and also gone West in search t
health," writes Harry Kitter, of 1645
Xth Street, Denver, Colo. "Only those
wno have suffered with this dread
malady know the pain and misery I
endured for over five years. Whenever
the weather was damp or cold my
troubles were increased and my Joints
would be so stiff and sore that I was
hardly able to move about and often
unable to dress myself. I used a num
ber of highly recommended medicines,
but they had no effect whatever on me,
and I came to Colorado hoping to re
gain my health, but failed to obtain the
relief I had hoped for. A gentlemen
in the house where I lived advised me
to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and in four months aud a
half after I began using it I was a well
man, and have had no touch of it for
me past seven months."
The most precious possession on earth
is perfect health. It is the ground
work of all prosperity in life; and few
people grudge any reasonable expendi
ture which will he the means of restor
ing it ; but one of the most disheartening
things in the world is for anv one who
works hard for his money to "keep pay
ing it out for doctors and medicines
that do no enrthlv good. It is like
throwing it into tlie fire.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is s
medicine thnt will help you no mnttei
what ails you. This is true because it
works directly at the root of ell disease
the digestive system, the blood, the
nerves, the liver and kidneys. Keep
these in healthy condition and you
cannot be sick.
Many of the cures of the "Golden
Medical Discovery " seem almost mirac
ulous. Its effect is almost immediate.
It takes hold at once. It tones up the
stomach, invieorutea the liver
the bowels.
It gets right in the blood and carricj
strength and comfort to every fiber of
the body. It nourishes and invigorates
the weakened, irritated nerves and puts
the entire svstem in perfect tune.
It is a aafg medicine. Safe for'adulu
-safe 'for children. It contain no
sugar, syrup, whisky, alcohol or dan
gerous opiates. Therefore, it does not
create a craving for stimulants. It is
distinctly a temperance medicine.
If a medicine dvaler tries to substitute
some other preparation when vou ask
for "Golden Medical Discovery'" look
out for him. He is either ignorant or
dishonest and you can't trust him.

The upbuilding of the business section
or the city which Is now In progress Is
having both a direct and an Indirect effect
on the residence districts. Property suit
able for the bttilding of houses Is advanc
ing slowly In value and the demand for
It is a healthy and steady demand. Many
of the old lines of property belonging to
some of the men who owned 'great tracts
of Omaha real estate at the time the de
pression and hard times came on, are now
being marketed at prices that are all the
land could have ever been worth except
In the flushed moments of a great and
unsupported boom.
The first evidence of the prosperity of
the city at this time Is In the large num
ber of business buildings lately finished
and being built now or planned for early
construction. The second evidence Is the
large number of residence properties being
Improved. While the second arises from
natural causes, It Is also to a considerable
extent due to the business buildings.
One of the Indirect means by which the
residence property of Omaha Is being ad
vanced in value Is by the money paid the
builders. The construction of these large
business blocks and of the many fine rental
properties puts a very large amount of
money into the pockets of the artisans
and builders. For three years at least the
carpenters and masons have had all they
could do and as a result they have bank
accounts that they are beginning to notice.
Lesion of the Hard Times.
In the old days of prosperity the car
penter and the mason very largely lived
In rented houses. He spent his money for
daily necessities and unessentials without
much thought of becoming a property
owner himself. The hard times that fol
lowed placed the carpenter and the brick
layer under the painful necessity of pay
ing rent without any iyrk to bring In the
rental. That was a lesson In the value of a
place of your own. Since there la now
plenty of work to do, the mechanics are
becoming the possessors of warranty deeds.
The real estate men say that during the
last year hundreds of small properties
have been sold to thia sort of purchaser.
Sometimes It Is a vacant lot and the me
chanic takes some of his wages and puts
up a house himself; In others, he buys
the house and lot at the same time. In
both cases the transfer Is a benefit to
property. In the first place the new house
benefits the surrounding property and ad
vances the value to the man who built It;
in the second place the seller of the old
house is more than likely to turn his
money over and build a larger new house
on another lot for himself.
The building of great business blocks
Induces the building of cottages and of
flats by example. The small' property
owners come down town and see the gra
ders taking out the clay for some five or
six-story building, they see the finished
buildings with their white, nefw masonry
and they read In the papers about other
buildings that are to be erected. Then
the owner of a lot somewhere and a few
hundred extra dollars In the bank says
to himself: "If those men can . afford to
put thousands of dollars Into Omaha real
estate and buildings and have that much
confldencs In the future of the city, I can
put in a few hundreds myself." The small
man accepts the Judgment of the prominent
business man and If the latter builds his
commercial palace the former will build
his six-room cottage.
Trend of Building;.
The westward movement of the business
district and the general spreading and ex
pansion of the territory necessary for
trade has also had an effect in driving
out the householder from the down town
aectton and causing him to build further
west or north or south.
The founders of a city can have little
Idea of Its future, and their plans for de
velopment are seldom carried out. Mr.
Jones, who laid out the original city of
Omaha, planned well and furnished the
oldest part of the city with wide streets
and alleys, but he could have had little
idea of retail shops up the hill as far as
Twentieth street. He laid out a fine park
across from Farnam south at about where
Tenth street now Is, and the fashionable
quarter of the city sprung up there. Sev
enteenth street In 1860 was the western
limit or the city mucn more than it Is now
the limit of the retail district.
The first residence district of the city
to which people 'pointed with pride was
centered at Tenth and Harney streets. The
stranger In the city was taken there to
admire the palacea of so and so, the great
business men of the time. Now the whole
sale merchants are building their ware
houses there. The people who built the
first fine hounes and they were not ao
much, either, those houses, when consid
ered now wer. overtaken In the business
district and had to go out and buy new
house land In the outskirts of the city
and build again. , They came up as far as
Sixteenth street, and the last of the fine
residences of that time are now being torn
down for the development of South Six
teenth street. Again the residents In the
lower part of the city were pushed out
by the spread of business. One street after
another was taken by the business men
like old Zachary Taylor's men fought the
Mexicans from square to square in the
southern cities.
Borne Changes In Progress.
The new Brandels store has destroyed
two flats and a single house, the occu
pants of which have had to go west. On
Farnam at Twentieth an old house Is on
the mover's blocks waiting to change for a
new lot. Several other houses are being
moved or destroyed in the same section.
The old Turner house at Sixteenth and
Howard is now being torn to pieces, for the
Young Men's Christian association wants
the place. The Hoagland house across the
street went to Dundee and a beautiful six-
story building Is rearing In Its place. The
Neville block took the place of the Kountze
Memorial church and the church bought
two once splendid residences at Twenty-
sixth and Farnam streets. The greatest of
all the builders to make new use of real
property, however, have been the Great
Western and the Om.xha Drain terminals.
Both of these have bocght and graded oft
large tracta which were covered by small
homes. These houses hav been sold and
moved out to vacant lots all over the city.
Every new building in the business district
has thia effect and increases the demand
for living apace elsewhere, and thereby
the value of residence real property.
Among the new buildings In the busi
ness district being finished, partially con
structed or not yet past the architect's of
fice are the following: Two automobile
garagna, on Farnam, near Twenty-second;
two or three one-story shops at the south
east corner of Farnam and Twentieth.
the Rohrbaugh business college at Nine
teenth and three one-story shops next to
the Davids block. The United States Bup.
ply company may build at Ninth and Far
nam. On Douglas will be the great Bran
dels store and the towering lUyden Bra'
house: on Howard the Hoagland block, the
Young Men's Christian association aad Ut

After an Ineffectual attempt to effect a

ra, a farmer of Wilber, Neb., turned on
the gas at the Prague hotel Friday night
and ended his troubles. lie waa found dead
in bed the next morning by the proprietor
of the hotel, who went to wake him up.
Dvorak formerly lived with hi wife and
family on a farm near Melvin, la. Four
years ago he and his wife quarreled, and he
went to Wilber, where he rented a farm.
A few days ago ,ie passed through Omaha
011 his way to Iowa, saying that he and his
wixe wet about to b- reconciled.
night he returned from Melvin and regis
tered at the Prague. When asked about
his family affairs he said he would tell
the atory in the morning. About 10 o'clock
he went to hla room.-
At 9 o'clock Saturday morning the body
was. found. The dead man lay upon the
bed. fully dresaed except for the rout. The
gas waa turned on full force. The theory
of accident Is precluded by the fact that
Dvorak had been at the hotel several times
before and knew how to use the gas.
In Dvorak's pocket was found a letter
from his daughter, Marie Ilubarhek, at
Melvin, asking him to come home and
assuring him that his wife would live with
him If he would promise to treat the chil
dren kindly,
Dvorak has four children, one boy and
three girls, one of whom is married. All
live with their mother.
