Keeper of the Great Seal.
From the New York sun.

The fact that we have "Lord Chan
cellor, or Keeper of the Great Seal of the
United States, is probably not generally
known. His name is George Bertle. He
was born in Virginia, and was appointed
to a clerksbip in the State Department from
Virginia by Daniel Webster forty-three
years ago. He is little withered up old
man of pleasantly courteous manners, as
BELTS a Virginia gentlemen of the old
school, but so secretive, partly by nature
and partly by the habit acquired during the
forty three years of confidential service,
that none of his fellow clerks venture to
ask him even the time of day without pre-
senting him with written requisition from
his superior officers authorizing him to give
the information. He has sole charge of
the great seal of the United States, and the
Secretary of State himself cannot induce
him to unlock the doors which guard that
emblem of the eountry's liberties without
a formal warrant signed by the President
of the United States.

How TO cuRE cATARRH.

Mieroseopical research by Pasteur, Hux-
lev. Koch, TyndaIl, Beale and other scientists
OF Europe has developed the fact that eatar-
rhal affections oe the nose, throat and other
parts of the respiratory tract are caused by
germs or parasites, which infect the mucous
membrane Of these parts, and cause intam-
nation that frequently results in one or more
of the following diseases: Weak eyes,
headache. deafness, hay fever, laryngitis,
bronchitis and consumption. A remedy that
will not destroy the germ or parasite will not
cure eatarrh. DR.. J. YlNGLING, of 609
FRANKLIN STREET has found treatment
that will do this. In diphtheria, its superior
excellence is most strikingly observed, as it
dissolves and promptly removes the pseudo
or diphtheretic membrane, and gives imme-
diate relief, and, if followed by proper consti:
tutional treatment, the patient makes rapid
recovery. If the great merits of this treat
ment and means Of applying it we're fully un-
derstood for curing throat and catarrhal affec.
tions, no one being thus afflicted would
hesitate long in availing themselves of its
benefits. For terms, call on, or address

SIOUX CITY'S PRIDE
A DESCRIPTION OF HER HANDSOME
CORN PALACE.


It Far surpassos That OF All Previous
Years-The Composite style of Archi-
lecture that Gives 1t "A Unique Appear
anco.
[sioux City Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
The Sioux City Corn Palace of 1889 Is as
great an improvement upon that of 1883 as
the latter WAS upon the original palace of
1887. The fitness OF the eiginal idea caused
IL TO bloom Immediately into creation Of
beauty as marvellous as 1t was novel. The
first corn palace structure in 1887 was some-
what rude, although the greatness OF the
frame was TO a consider able extent yelled
by the illusions OF its dressing in natural
products. IL was only 100xl0O feet. The
next year the plan was enlarged. the struct-
ure being nearly doubled in size. and the
adornment being developed with more de-
liberation and with the benefit OF previous
experience. The design OF the corn palace
building this year is entirely distinct In de-
tail from its predecessors, although of
course the purpose is identically the same
viz, the display OF the agricultural prod
ucts OF the region of the upper Missouri
valley about Sioux City. including North
western Iowa, South Dakota, and Northern
Nebraska. The design, however has been
altered and amended so as more perfectly
to subserve the central purpose.
The general site OF the building this year
Is the same as last year. being the corner
OF S|c.th and Pierce streets. But the build
ing this year is carried entirely across
Pierce street to the curb line. there being q
passage for the street railway and for We
hicles. The site is thus both centrally To-
Gated and on tho verge OF tho business
heart of the city. and also at the converg-
ing point OF the motor. cable. and street
railway lines. which radiate to all quarters
OF the city and are convenient to the rail-
way stations. The Corn Palace Building

Telling George What He Was Just Going
to DO.

GEORGE was bashful lover. He
scarcely dared to touch his lady's hand.
He loved her we'll and she was worthy
of his affection, for she was modest,
intelligent, sweet, and lovable; but
like all good women, she yearned for
the respectful caresses that are the
evidences of q pure affection. She,
however. yearned in vain. George
worshiped her. He might kiss the
hem of her garment, but to kiss her Ups
or cheek-the very audaclty OF the
thought made him tremble.
