Are yea taking Simmonb Liver Reo
ulatob, the “King of Liter Medi¬
cines?” That Is what our readers
want, and nothing but that. It is the
same old friend to which the old folks
pinned their foith and were never dis¬
appointed. Bat another good reoom
mendation for it is, that it is better
than Fills, never gripes, never weak¬
ens, but works in sack an easy and
natural way, just like nature itself; that
relief comes quick and sore, and one
feels new all over. It never foils.
Everybody needs take a liver remedy,
and everyone should take only Sim¬
mons liver Regulator.
Be sure you get it. The Bed Z
is on the wrapper. J. H. Zeilin &

Electricity on Railroads.
As electricity has
hors£s as a motive power on
and suburban railway lines it will
also replace the use of steam on the
railway lines of the country. There
is hardly a railway company in the
country that is not investigating
the various appliances for moving
cars by electricity with a view of
employing it as a motive power.
The railway locomotive is a
costly machine and it is expensive
to operate. ** It is kept in use only
because railway companies are con¬
servative and, as a rule, opposed to
making an experiment which, if
successful, would fender valueless
so large an amount of property as
that invested in locomotives. So
long as all the roads use the same
motive power, rates for the trans¬
portation of freight and passengers
will be maintained and the large
cost will be paid by the people.
If, however, one trunk line finds
electricity will answer the purpose
of a motive power in the move¬
ment of trains, the cost will be
greatly reduced and rates for car
riage will be reduced in proportion.
Competing lines must then adopt
the new motor.
A trunk line between Chicago
and the Atlantic seaboard, presum¬
ably the Pennsylvania railroad
company, is reported to be about
to make the experiment of moving
its passenger trains by means of a
storage battery recently invented.
These batteries are charged at elec¬
trical stations supplied from amain
generating station, the time re¬
quired to make the charge being
less than that to coal and water an
engine. The cost of moving a
locomotive is approximately 35
cents a mile, while the cost per
mile of moving by storage batteries
is so small as to be hardly capable
of calculation.
The possibilities of electricity as
a motive power on railroads are al
most incalculable. Many well-in¬
formed railroad managers believe
that the locomotive engine of to¬
day will be obsolete ten years
hence. _________

assured fact.
The stock hqldcrs in the new ho

The committe will go out to the
falls soon and locate the different
hotel buildings and cottages, bath
houses and artificial lake, which
will, itself, cover ten acres of land.
The company will put a saw mill
on the ground to saw their own 1

first-class lumber from, and thereby
greatly save in the lumber expense
The company will put in an elec¬

itable fairy land.
