THE ANTIQUARIAN HALL.
The Gid Nan III the Skif'' Laid Up
in St. Louis.

in St. Louis.
Capt. Wilfred P. Hall. the cele-
bra.cd Western antiquarian, IS again
in the city. This time he is on his
way to Arkansas and Mississippi.
His fatboat is, however, laid up in
the ice in East St. Louis, just below
the Advance elevator. and the Cap
tain will probably be detained until
the river opens. This is particularly
unfortunate for the hardy old Cap
tain, who is known upon Ill the Miss
issippi and It's tributaries as tile old
man in the skiff." because he invaria-
bly, travels on fatboat or in COM
mon skif.. The Captain has done
nothing else for the last ten years but
to travel and make researches for the
Iowa Academy Of Science, His home
Is in Davenport, Iowa. He has vis-
ted all the Lake Superior region and
been rs far 10 the southeast as the
lagoons of Florida. His method is to
make Inquiries for mounds. caves,
and such other spots as are liable to
contain evidences Of antiquity. Then
he digs and investigates. He will
hire Indians and Negroes and dig an
Indian mound all to pieces, securing
the skulls, arrow-heads, stone hatch
cts and pottery which always lies bur-
led in them. Whatever he discovers
he boxes up and sends to the Iowa
Academy Of Sciences. He has been
able TO make some very valuable dis
coveries, and has been well written
up in nearly every newspaper of the
Mississippi valley. The Arkansas
and White river country. whittier he
is new bound, is said to abound with
Indian mounds. While IN St. Louis
his home is on his flatboat.

Wei 1e Meyers Treatise on Ca- tarri,. explains the following important facts: l. hat Catarrhal Colds become poisc.ors infection, at first local, and fu'lly cons stits1tiona1. 2 That. being Constitutional, the infection is beyoad the reach of mere local remedies.
 B. That impurities in the nostrils, are necessarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison- ;,.g the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito- urinary organs.
 4. hat Catarrhal virus follows the mucous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoa and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and insoluble Snufs, cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the or. gans named.
 hat an antidote for Catarrh must possess an inoculativo affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon these plain theories, Dr. Wei De Meyeps Catarrh Cure has proved, to be ineallible.- It not only re- ieves. it cures Oatarrh at any stage. Home testimony:
