Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home
Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due to
the presence of living parasites in the lining
membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, has proved this
to be a fact. and the result of this discovery is
that a simple remedy has been formulated where
by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three simple
applications made at home by the patient once
in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not q snuff or an ONT
ment; both have been discarded by reputable
physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining
this new treatment is sent on receipt of ten
cents by A.. II. Dixon & Son, Nos. 1877 and 339

Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should care

The Clothing Yet Unfound.

Detective Hirschner went to the
Berkeley Arms Hotel today and again
searched the house. He found divorce
papers belonging to Rosseau and
letters written by him asking to be re-
instated in the Grand Army of New
York. What Hirschner desired to find
was the clothing worn by Rosseau
when Murphy was shot. But he was
unsuccessful.
Mrs. Harris, who is the Berkeley
postmistress, told Detective Hirschner
that Mrs. Rosseau's son while stop
ping at the Arms last summe always
called his mother Mrs. Coudert or
Coudent, and that she also received
letters addressed to Mrs. Charlotte
Courdent.

system, to be operated in connection
with its Pacific coast extension.
Between Butte and the terminus of
the Hunt system in the Eureka flats,
the Burlington will have compare
lively easy railroad building. Fro !
Butte the line will make directly for
LolO river and work its way to Lolo
pass, place that seems to have been
made by nature for railroad.
Then the line strikes the Clearwater
river and follows it to Lewiston.
There the Clearwater joins the Snake,
and the line follows the Snake until
it meets the Hunt line somewhere in
the vicinity of Dayton.
In connection with this'project is n
branch line from the main line to Spo-
kane Falls from some point between
Lewiston and Riparia. This line will
be built Mt the same time that the 20"
pushes through to the coast, and will
let the road into the heavy trade that
Spokane furnishes to the eastern lines.
10 the country through which the
new line passes, particularly in Idaho,
its building will be like a new discov-
cry. The long stretch from Lolo pass
to Lewiston is totally undeveloped,
and is largely unknown in the way
of its mineral resources. A new coun-
try is likely to follow the construction
of the line through the present unin-
habited wastes"

Let Everybody Attend.

From the Review we learn that the
management of the great Northwest
Industrial Exposition has postponed
"Idaho Day" to Thursday, October
10th, when large attendance of Idaho
celebrities is expected. Hon. J. w.
Reid, of Lewiston, will be the speaker
of the day. Governor Shoup, Judge
Willis Sweet, and Hon. Fred. T. Du-
bois are all expected to be present.
Excursions will come from several
Idaho towns. "Idaho Day" ought to
be one of the most important days dur
ing the Exposition, and the manage
ment are la oring to make it so. The
idaho exhibit is said to be very credit
able, and visitors from the East are
simply.amazed ut the exhibits of the
Northwest. A large delegation from
Lewiston is expected on "I6aho Day."

The grading on the Northern branch
is progressing rapidly. Engineer
Fletcher gave most encouraging re-
port Of recent progress. The obstacles
are more of the imagination than real
ity. The track is now laid into Mos
COW, and twenty-five Of the thirty
miles lying between Moscow and Ken
drick are already graded ready fdr the
rails. It Is likely that the road Will
reach Kendrick by the hrst Of Novem-
Der. The chief engineer on bridge
construction was here this week. He
says that he can complete the bridge
at Lspwai In one week. Every indt-

THE q" LINE COMING.
Lewiston is Soon to Secure . New
Railroad-A Grand Trunk Route.

The dispatches of this week herald
another new railroad for Lewiston,
and this time great overland route
over the famous L0 LO pass and down
the Clearwater. The Spokesman ex-
plains the situation In the following:
1.-THE Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy
and the Hunt system Of railroads have
Joined in another great transcontinen-
tai line. Within two years the 20"
system will extend from Chicago to
Portland, with . branch line from the
Palouse into Spokane Falls.
The "Q's" determination to build to
the coast was made when the Northern
Pacific and Wisconsin Central were
consolidated a. one line from the Paci-
fic to Chicago. 1t was about the same
time that the close traffic arrangement
was made between the Chicago 4
Northwestern and the Union Pacific.
The 20" and the Chicago, Rock Is
land & Pacific were badly frosted by
these two combinations. Its rails were
already pointed far toward the Pacific
northwest. II was not an impossible
task to extend to the coast, and the
line then meet Its rivals on equal
grounds.
The first long stretch was from
Cheyenne westward. The northern
route was selected, and the contracts
for building the line from Cheyenne to
Butte, q distance of some 800 miles
have been let.
In Washington and Oregon is the
Hunt system of roads. Some time agt
Hunt attempted to float $40, ,O0O, 900 O
bonds for the extension of his system
The Northern Pacific stoutly opposed
the scheme. All the influence Of tn.
Northern and Union Pacific was ex
erted to prevent the bonds being
placed. Hunt was on the point Q
Isuccumbing to these great corporate in
fiuences, and 1t was even announces
from Portland q few days ago that b
had ultimately failed.
Now comes the announcement tina
the bonds have been placed In Londol
by the aid Of the Chicago, Burlington
4 Quincy. It means that the Hun
J system has been taken under the pro
tective wing Of the 10" and tina
powerful corporation, backed by Ut
limited millions, has taken hold Of th
system before the Great Norther
could turn q hand toward securing th
