Wei Ie Meyers Treatise on Ca tarr,,, explains the following important facts: l. That Catarrhal Colds become a poisonous infection, at first local, and n,iiy constitutional.
 2. TAa4, brin Constitutional, the infection is beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
 3. Flat impurities in the nostrils, are necessarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison ing the Digestive Respiratory and Genito- urinary organs.
 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mucous membrane and causes Deafness, Dysrc!.sia Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea. and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes. Douches, Limitations, and lnsoluble Snutts, cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the or gans named.
 That an antidote for Catarrh must possess an inoculative affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon these plain theories, Dr. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallible. It not only re- Eeves, it cures Catarrh at any stage. Home testimony: .:-f

The desire for early railroad communica-
ton is so nearly unanimous, and the benefits
to Montana to be derived from it are 50 gem
orally conceded, that argument to lemon
s:rate such benefits seem almost superHuous.
At the railroad mass meeting last evening
an objector made the pertinent inquiry =
" Will exemption hasten the building of the
U. & N. r. R. into Montana pr
hin the question ought to be fairly met,
although the lateness Of the hour seemed q bar
to further discussion on that occasion.
The probabilities indicate so strongly that
exemption from taxation for O term ofyears
will bring the U. & N. r. R. Into the heart of
oar Territory several years earlier than other
wise, that it may be positively assumed for
several reasons.
First, because when it has reached our tor-
ders it can successfully compete with the
Missouri river transportation, and therefore
largely command the trade OF Montana with
out building further, as witness the favor it
has received this season, and the certainty
that u merchants will give it the preference
next year.
Secondly, because the main line of extern
sion to reach after the Pacific coast traffic is
not projected through Montana. On che con-
trary, detecting at Snake river It will pass d.
rectly west and northwest to the Columbia,
and therefore the Montana division now
building is in the nature offs branch road to
Montana and for Montana exclusively. :
Thirdly, because it ,oiH not pay for several
years, at least, to build a railroad into the
heart of our Territory simply and solely for
the trade Of Montana !; and therefore, ecemp-
ton viU hasten IL, forthe reason that it grants
a privilege upon the express condition, thai
the road shall be built promptly two hundred
miles, more or less, within our borders.
Why should our ears be vexed with the
talk about grinding monopolies whenever
the subject of railroads is discussed? What
is monopoly? Is it not the control that one
individual or one corporation acquires over
the trade and destiny Of a people? Then
the building of the U. N. road is our sure
protection against that powerful monopoly
that the Northern Pacific road would exer-
SiSe WIN VIC iuiAnehSe iano-Srant suoSiuy
with which Congress has endowed it.
Montana stands to-day isolated by her
mountain walls and waiting for the expected
era of prosperity with about the same popu-
lation that she had ten years ago when the
promise of the speedy building of the North
ern Pacific turned suddenly to bitter disap-
pointment. Let us remember that the prom
Use then was greater than no,o and while the
Utah and Northern is knocking at cur noun
tain gates, let us open them gladly'with a
warm welcome, by meeting enterprise, in
stead of blocking our prosperity for another
decade by narrow views and local jealousies.
