After lining treated by Eminent riiyNlrlmm lie i Cured by H. K. S. The following is an extract from a letter received from Mr. T. A. Size more, of Piedmont, S. C, and written under date of November, , 1S88: "I am now twenty-eight years old and from the time 1 was seven years or age until I8&i, t sutlered with a severe case of scrofula. During that time I took everv known remedy, but to no purpose. My father took me to North Carolina, where 1 was put under the treatment of -an eminent physician. The medicines given me had only a temnorarv effect, for short ly after my return the scrofula broke 1 out in a more malignant form and I was worse off than ever In-fore. ,"InlW5 I discontinued taking all other medicines and commenced tak ing Swift's Specific (S.

Coal and Fire Clay Abound lu Large Quan tities In Deer 1'ark. Ten years ago Mr. John M. Holland left Utica, where he had resided many years, and removed to : Southwestern Kansas and Invested his money In different enterprises, but he was not very successful In this western coun try. Recently he removed to Illinois and settled in Spring Valley, twenty miles south of this city. Yesterday Mr. Holland was in Ottawa and called on several friends whom he had known for many years. Ho had with him several siieeimcns of coal and tire clay which had been taken from the earth on a farm in Deer Park township, ten miles southwest of this city. Mr. Holland and several other gen tlemen own a number of acres of land in the locality above named. Some time ago they Imd men at work pros pecting for coal and their efforts nave been successful. A few weeks ago a vein of good coal was struck at a depth of twenty to thirty feet below the sur face. Investigation showed that it was a three-foot vein and the coal was found to be of an excellent quality. Men are now at work mining the coal, which is sold as rapidly as it is taken from the mine. Underlying this vein of coal is a vein of tire clay and in the immediate vicinity there is a bed of Una glass sand.' Mr. Holland stated these facts yes terday aud they are no doubt correct. He pronounces the tire clay to Iw of an excellent quality, and as ho has been" in the business some years, it is safe to say he knows what ho is talk ing about. "There is an inexhaust able supply of this clay, "said Mr. Hol land, "and all that is lacking is a way of transporting it to market. It would be a paying investment were the Chi cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad company to build a branch line to Deer Park. "May lie this vein is only a small pocket. Are you sure it Is a vein which will pay to work? "It is not a pocket. On the contrary, it is a three-foot vein of coal, and we propose to work it out. It is a valu able find and the coal is an extra fine quality." , ' I.aSalle'K Electric Hallway. At a special meeting of the La Salle City Council held Tuesday evening, the ordinance to grant a. franchise to the City Electric Railway company, allowing them to construct a street railway in the city of La Salle, wa9 passed unanimously. There was not a dissenting voice. The ordinance is similar to that presented to the Ot tawa Electric Railway company some months ago with the exception of one or two clauses. The ordinance requires the company to build not less than 2 miles of road within 12 months after the franchise has been accepted. At the end of 2 years, 5 miles of road must be in oper ation. The company are allowed 10 days in which to accept or reject the ordinance. It is not probable they will reject it, however. Messrs. Mer rifield, Stead and Enyart, of this city, the directors of the company, were present at the meeting aud made a few remarks, by way of explanation, as to what they intend doing. There was a difference of opinion among the 'aldermen as to whether the T or flat rail should bo used. Some were in favor of using the T rail in some parts of the city and the flat rail in other pr.rts. A vote was then taken which showed that 7 ald ermes favored the use of Hie Hat rail exclusively, ar.d 5 opposed It. The majority ruled and the fiat mil will be used exclusively. Mr. Enyart was seen by a Fkke Tkadhu reporter yesterday and asked what the directors thought of the action of the La Salle council. ' lie said: "The. franchise is worth 15,000 in clear cash to the company. We now have a franchise from both Peru and La Salle arid these are very valuable. I wrote to several companies through out the country to-day for Ui. Is for building tue road. We will not let the contract to the lowest bidder from a pecuniary staridjwiint, but will give it to the company that makes the best and most nyisonable bid. The Short company, of Cleveland, ()., or the Brush company, of IndlanajMills, I rid., will in all probability do the work. They are the most reliable- companies and. it is coocedtul, --(Jf better work 'than any other company in the country. I he Short system works on a current of from 110 to 150 volts. The Thomson-Houston system uses a cur rent 500 volts strong. This is cousid- jercd dangerous to both man and beast. The first Jim- built will con nect the two cities, that is, Peru arid La Salle, and will be two and one-half miles long. The equipment of the road will lie most complete in every particular. By June I. we will have cars running on this line." "Do you think the- road will W-a success?" was a.-ked. "It is liound to .be a success, and promises to le a paying enterprise. We will build a first class road and the work will In-gin as soon as the weather permiU. We contemplate building several other roads in other cities in the state. We exiw-cU-d to build a road in Scdalia, Mo., but another company got in ahead of us and were given a franchise."
