What a Mistake!

A careful examination would convince
any one that two-thirds of all the people in
New England have been or are now afflicted
with catarrh of the nose and throat. No
doubt more than half of those persons have
tried every blood purifier they have seen
with the erroneous idea that catarrh is a
constitutional disease and must be purged
out of the blood. Why, greater mistake
was never made. Stop for a moment and
think or ask any reputable physician what
common catarrh is and what causes it and
the answer can be only this; " 1t is an IT.
ritation or Inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the nose and throat, caused by
neglected colds, damp, piercing, irritable
winds, foreign matter in the air, which is
poisonous to some persons and not to others,
just as the bites of certain insects is a
poisoned torture to some and has no I'M
pleasant effect upon others" The reason
for this is found in the different structure of
the outer skin and its counterpart, which
lines all the inner organs of our bodies.
Some people have chapped hands and chill
blains and others are never so afflicted, be-
cause of the peculiar structure of the skin
of different individuals. Therefore stop
dosing. 1t is not blood purifiers you want,
but good wholesome food, the palmer the
better. Then keep your feet dry and
warm your head cool and bowels open"
and use an external application johnson S
Anodyne Liniment is the best we know to
allay the inflammation, cleanse the surface,
heal the sores, and your catarrh will disap-
pear like magic. We do not say never to
return, because you may cure severe cold
and in three months catch another equally
bad; so with catarrh and bronchial troubles.
Exposure may bring it on again. We
learned more about treating catarrh from
the wrapper around a bottle of Johnson s
Anodyne Linment than we ever knew.
Certainly this good old medicine deserves
to be called "a universal family remedy"
No matter how well you know this medicine,
it will pay you to send TO |. S. Johnson Il
Co., Boston, Mass, for pamphlet free, just
to learn how to use the liniment econom-
ically. a tea-spoonful properly used will
often do more good than half bottle as
some people use it.

ArbOr Day Proclamation.

In continuation OF custom of some of my
predecessors, and as believe, in accordance
with the wish of the people of this state, as
well as for the public good, | do hereby
designate Friday, May 4th, Arbor Day.
And | advise that it be observed as a day
for planting trees, shrubs and flowers, to
the end that the waste and barren places be
made more valuable and fruitful and our
homes more attractive. May our public
and private grounds and commons be beau
tilted, and the thoughts and attention of the
rising generation turned-for the day at
least-in the direction suggested by the
natural observance of the occasion.
recommend the youth in the schools and
colleges be invited and encouraged by their
teachers to observe the occasion, as far as
may be, by collective action, and that viii
lage neighborhoods and communities in like
manner observe the day. And | do hereby
call the attention of the town authorities
throughout this state to the fact that in too
many instances the old cemeteries and
burial grounds are greatly neglected-in
fact seemingly. forgotten-by the living, and
/ suggest that wherever this condition of
things exists such a course be taken as to
make it thing of the past. Surely, there
is hardly higher duty than that of the
living to the dead, and the full and cheerful
performance of that duty is everywhere re-
ceived as evidence of correct living: and it
is certain that the occasion is a fitting one
to be observed by performance of this duty.
Given under my hand and seal of the state,
in the executive chamber at Brandon, this
seventeenth day of April A. ID. 1888, and

wanted at Rawlins for obtaining money
and chattels under false pretenses, were
delivered to Constable Kelly by Sheriff
Sharpless last evening and started to-
ward the train apparently feeling pretty
blue" While en- route to the depot a
truce was declared and a var talk, which
resulted in a conditional withdrawal of
the charges ensued. They returned
a watch, refunded ill-gotten money and
liquidated all costs incident to their pur-
suit and apprehension Mr.. Kelly was
well satisfied with the result of his chase.
The money and goods and not the men
were desired by the compliments, al
though they were willing and even
anxious to punish the pair.

SUSTAINED
Judge Lacey's Opinion Affirmed by the
United States supreme Court.

The following is a Washington special
to the Chicago Times: THE case of the
United States and others against Frank
w. De Walt was also decided. De Walt
was convicted upon an information of en-
bezzlement and making fraudulent entries
as president of a national bank and was
sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary.
He appealed for a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that he had been tried for
a henlous crime upon an information, con-
trary to the constitutional provision that
a henious crime should be tried only after
a presentment and Indictment by a
grand jury, The court below granted the
application and the United States took
an appeal to this court, which affirmed
the judgment of the lower court. 1t was
contended by counsel for the government
that as the sentence provided by
the statute under which De Walt
was convicted did not prescribe i'm
prisonment at hard labor it did not make
the crime a heinous one. The supreme
court says that in the Mackin case it was
held that at the present day imprisonment
in a p%enitentiary with or without hard
labor is an infamous punishment, and that
the opinion in that case governs the pres
ent case. Opinion by Chief Justice
Fuller.
The De Watt case is still fresh in the
minds of the people OF Wyoming and
Colorado. The ex. banker, who narrowly
escaped lynching at the time of his detail
cation, is a prisoner in the United States
penitentiary at Laramie. He will now be
released, but will be promptly rearrested
on other charges.
The judgment affirmed by the United
States supreme court was rendered by
Judge Lacey of this city when he was
chief justice of the supreme court Of the
territory.

Carbon Politics.

There is a strong movement on foot to
contest the election of all successful can
didates at the recent Carbon county cleo
ton. A series of irregularities are alleged
by the dissatisfied. 1t is charged that the
proclamation was not issued until several
days after the date required by statute.
Then 1t is a notorious fact that several
hundred ballots cast at Carbon precinct
were deposited by persons who were not
qualified electors. The contestants are
headed by r~esolute men, who will fight
the battle to the bitter end if an issue is
once made.
