One-half of all the people in this country
have been or are now afflicted with catarrh
or bronchitis. No doubt many of them have
tried every blood purifier they have seen
with the erroneous idea that catarrh is con
situtionsl disease of the blood. Why, a
greater mistake was never made Stop fol-
a moment and ask an" reputable physician
what catarrh is, or bronchitis which is q
catarrh in the bronchial tubes, and what
causes it, and the answer can be only this
1t is an irritation or Inflammation of the

reason for this is found in the different
structure of the outer skin and its counter

created by the action Of President Fitz-
gerald in postponing the national con.

Those members of the local committee
who were opposed to this step and who
intimated as much to the Lincoln man,
ind hat their judgment Is reinforced
with that Of prominent members of the
party east and west. The statement that
the postponement is based upon the in.
ability OF several nationalist members OF
parliament TO cross the water until later
in the year is looked uron as in
tko sntafs Of a subterfuge and II 10 boldly
charged that the action was inspired by
certain Chicago individuals who, were

exercise that sway in the inner councils
that they have SO long enjoyed. Numer.
Gus protests against the poetponement
have been mailed and wired from the
east to President Fitzgerald and i. 10 toll

subject OF u pretty excited discussion
when the convention is held.

RED OAK, Ia. June IS. -Rumors OF
a scandal have been floating through the
air for some time and were brought to q
focus yesterday by the arrest of P. A.
Brownscomb, a painter and paper hanger,
for seduction and attempt to commit
abortion on the person Of a 15-year-old
daughter Of Andrew Morden, a wagon
maker OF this place. Morden is a
widower. The girl Dollie keeps house
and is the only daughter at home. She
is alone most Of the time. She
Brownscomb selected her as his victim

pllshed her ruin then. In December last.
finding that matters were not moving
smoothly he went 10 a prominent physi-
clan in town and represented that Dollie
would need care to relieve her from sus.
p'clon and criticism. He mentioned the
name OF a prominent merchant Cf this
town as being the author Of the trouble.
The doctor wrote TO Dollie. Dole an
swered duplicating Brownscomb. The
doctor took the letter to the county at
torney. Matters could be kept secret no
longer. The father is almost insane with
rage and grief. He had Brownscomb
arrested on two charges-seduction and
attempt to commit abortion. The de-
Tense asked for a continuance to next
Monday, which was granted and the bond
fixed at 81, 600 in each case. This the
prisoner failed TO give and was taken TO
jail. Excitement is intense.

VALENTINE, Neb., June IA special
from Rosebud Agency yesterday says:
The prospects fer the Dawes bill becom-

Indians number about one-third Of the
Sioux nation, and as the commission will
be successful at this agency it is thought
there will be but little opposition at the
other agencies. AL Of the influential and
head men at this agency have signed ex-
cept Two Strike and Good Voice. These
gentlemen in a private interview with the
commissioners expressed themselves in,
favor OF the agreement, but have not as
yet signed.
Hollow Horn Bear has undoubtedly
more influence than any other Indian at
this agency, and has been WORKING with
the opposition. He has now signed and
is working among the people in favor of
the bill. Nine hundred and seventy-six
signatures have now been secured, and il
is thought by tomorrow evening there
will be |, 100.

Mr.. Gladstone's estimate of Dante, ex'
pressed after a paper read by the bishop
Of Ripon at the duke OF Weltminster's
house, contained this: II wish to bea,
testimony with the bishop. as far as Ian
guage can, to the degree OF magnitude
and the importance Of his works, which
can hardly be possible TO %exaggerste
upon. Dante has a place absolutely
alone in the whole compass Of what is
called literature. and / do not think that
there is any writer who can compete
with Dante in what ! call educated
power. In my opinion, the study Of
Dante is a very serious matter, entailine
a serious responsibility. Every think
ing person who gives himself to tina,
study cannot, during the study, but feel
profoundly its effects, for many are the
essons which the poems Of Dane con
vey 10 humanity.

II was long thought that blood oranges

II was long thought that blood oranges
were produced by grating an orange
tree with a pomegranate slip, but it is
now said that there is not the slightest
foundation for this belief. The blood
orange, which is merely q variety Of the
sweet orange obtained by cultivation,
was first raised by the Spanish gardeners
in the Philippine Islands. When it was
first reen in Europe it created a sensa'
ton among the superstitous, who saw all
sorts of disasters foretold by the bloody
fruit. In the last century blood oranges
brought exceedingly large prices.
