Catarrhal
PO ISON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi-
sonous infection, at first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection Is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
8. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinsry organs
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia, /,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea
and Consumption.
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inha1ations, and
insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove IN
fectious infammations from the organs named
6. That anyantidote ior Catarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain Theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Care has proved
infsllible. It not only re1eaves, it cures
Catarrh at any stage. Home testimony:

There was large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Garfield and Arthur club
held Saturday evening. The gathering
was addressed by Theodore d. Kanouse
who in rousing and telling speech show
ed his auditors that he was quite as much
at home and fully as effective in force
and arguments when dealing with politi-
cal questions as when treating his favor
lite theme of temperance. He gave the
democrats some hard hits showing them
up in their true light, and using stub
born and incontrovertible facts to prove
his many assertions in reciting history of
their party. The address was received
with many demonstrations of approval
and general desire was expressed of lis
tening to Mr.. Kanouse again before the
close of the campaign.
The club proceeded to elect the follow
ing delegates from this city to the Repub-
lican County Convention at Jefferson
Saturday next, September 25th:

From $50 to $50 they expected to collect of par

was considered safe to calculate on $500.

that the President appoint Committee of 5 to

VIM. H. Rohr was elected Treasurer and the

Hill Cemetery and the Association how it grew
out of small beginning to its present glorious
state. He called special attention to the fact,
that the Cemetery was not owned by private

eous impression, but by stock company. and
that every lot owner was member Of the Asso-
citation and stockholder. He stated further
that there $I400 in the treasury and that the
trustees hoped to be able next year to erect a
nice building on the Cemetery for the accOmmo-
dation of the lot owners, and to get good rel-
able man to reside there. He spoke Of the beau
tiful site of the Oak Hill Cemetery and that q
shady sidewalk to that place was the best i'm
provement that could be thought of.
The meeting then unanimously expressed
their hope that after the completion of the side
walk there would be enough money left to set
out trees along the walk.

FRIDAY Noon. Sent. 10Th. 1890

FRIDAY Noon, Sept. 10th, 1880.
Editor of the Watertoaon Republican.
SIR: In answer to numerous enquiries
concerning Sitting Bull, I will state for
the benefit of many, who he really is,
and his status among the Indians:
Sitting Bull is the principal chief of
the Uncpapahs, and them only: the four
tribes of Teeton Sioux who left American
soil after the Custer massacre, were the
Ogallallahs under Broad Trail, Etaziep-
JOS under Spotted Eagle; Ninnecon joins
under Flying Bird and Uncpapahs. I'm
der Sitting Bull the Ogallallahs were and
are the controlling element of the hostile
Sioux, Flying Bird is dead, Broad Trail
has surrendered to Gen. Miles at Fort
Keogh; Spotted Eagle is about to go to
Gen. Miles to negotiate a surrender of
himself and people and only Sitting Bull
remains hostile although it is only a
question of time when he will also have
to surrender. Large bodies of his people
are stealing away from him coming
in here to surrender, and in about
two months time the major portion
of the Teeton Sioux will be compelled to
surrender, for then, their greatest enemy
will attack them, that is hunger. Sit
ting Bull is regarded as very ambitious
man by the Indians; he has not got by
any means the authority he is supposed
to have; among them he is nothing more
or less than an Indian, with an Indians
