The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating. easy OF application,
and one that will reach all the remote
sores and liberated surfaces. The his

the past obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has met these conditions. and
that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant
remedy has mastered catsrrh as nothing

Lo, THE POOR BUFFALO.

Prof. HORNADAY, of the Smithsonian
Institution. is preparing for the next
annual report of the Institution an in
teresting paper on the determination of
the American bison. In addition to in
formation gathered by extensive CORE
spondence ON the subject for the past
four years, Prof. HoRNADAY's paper
will treat or the range and habits of the
buffalo, and will contain suggestions
relative to the methods that should be
employed to preserve this distinctively
American animal from total extinction.
One of the most interesting chapters
of the report will be the history of the
famous slaughter from 1865 to 1872, when
$500, 900 of the buffalo were slain in the
country west of the Mississippi and
south of the Missouri; another chapter
is to be devoted to description of the
herds remaining in existence, both do
mesticated and wild. with their number
and location.
The attempts at demonstrating the
buffalo are thus described by Prof
HoRNADAY: S. l.. BEDSoN, of Stony
Mountain, Mont, was the first, so far as
can be learned. to enter upon the breed
ing and cross breeding of the buffalo.
He began in 1877 with herd of one
bull and four heifers, and at the end of
eleven years he had a herd of eighty
three. He sold out last fall to G. J..
JONES, of Kansas City, for $4,000. Mr..
JONES, who was an active buffalo
Slaughterer in the famous crusade
against the bison from 1868 to 1872. is
called BUFFALO JONES, but is trying to
atone, in measure, for his slaughter of
the buffalo in its wild state by increas-
ing its number in domestication. Pre-
vious to his purchase of the BEDsoN
herd he owned thirty-three cows and
twenty-four bulls, which he had
purchased in the Texas Panhan-
die, and which have been added
to the Montana herd. Sir DONALD
SMITH has gone into buffalo-farming

CHARLES GooDRIGHT has thirteen head

There are also several herds of two or
three head, making a total of 243 buff
faloes in domesticated state.
Prof. HoRNADAY has been able to To-

THE WHISKY TRUST.
Officers Elected and Its Policy
Briefly Outlined.

PEORIA, ILL.,, April 1.-THE annual
meeting of the whisky trust was held
here to-day, and all of the old officers
were reelected, and three new trus-
tees. Morris and Kingman, of Chicago,
and Terrell, of New York. were elected
in place of DuckwOrth and Beayis, of
Cincinnati, and Francis, of Peoria. The
policy of the trust was outlined in the
following address by President Green
hut: Our special endeavors and I'M
ceasing labors have been directed, the
past year, towards improving the
every department in order to obtain
the greatest amount of efficiency and
economy in the production aud handling
of our goods, and | can say that we
have attained gratifying results in that
respect, and that we can feel perfectly
secure in our position of being enabled
to produce our goods, and place
them on the market at minimum
cost, and this gives US the ability to
cope with any competition with which
I'VE are brought in contact. 1t is not
good business judgment, however, to
ignore our opposition OF underrate the
competition we have to contend with;
and while we feel confident of being
able to combat any competition on
low prices. we must not be misled,
and anticipate large dividends and
attempt to vanquiSh outside COMPETE
tors at the same time, in other words,
our policy should be run on prices low
enough and for so long time as may be
necessary to overcome those outside
concerns which have been. or are now
attempting to take advantage of our
position.

as to what his course of action would

telegraphed to the war department ask

Proctor and Gen. SchOfeld had con-

at which President Harrison, Secretaries

when Secretary Proctor went over to
