There is more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, aud there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

Irrigation and Forestry.

For the MORRIS TRIBUNE.
Artesian wells for irrigation is the
au-absorbing theme of Dakota peo-
pie. Sinking them is the necessity.
For several successive years crops
there have been failure on account
of drouths. In their desperation they
propose to tap the earth for water
supply. Last year congress appropri-
ated $4,000 to investigate the extern
siveness and practicability of the irri-
cation scheme. The business of pro-
jecting the enterprise was entrusted
to J. M. Rusk, Secretary Of Agricul-
ttlre. His selection of geologists, chem
lists, engineers ETC., was a wise one.
The work of investigation covered the
territory lying between Manitoba
and the Gulf of Mexico and the 9th
meridian west to the foot hills of the
Rocky mountains. That year they in
vestigated 1900 artesian wells in action,
scattered over that region, some in
groups, most Of them isolated at large
distances apart. The typological pha-
ses of the country, the geological de-
posits, the general sameness Of depth,
the like qualities of the water, calcu
lating local influences the causes
comparatively slight variations in
tinge and taste, and the like complex
ion of the water-bearing stratum of
vast proportions, led them to the
unanimous conclusion, that under
the Dakota surface, stretching south
into Arkansas, west they know not
how far, and east to an accumulation
ofimperyious drift seals up it's easter
ly bounds in the vicinity of the 9th
meridian, is a vast artesian basin
whose water-bearing stratum, tested
at numerous points, consists of a soft,
porous, ight-grayish sandstone very
peryious to water and easily penetrat-
ed. This is the largest artesian basin
In the world. Whether the same
sandstone lies under our tread in

TO Place subtreasuries iii the Hands of
Private Capitalists.
TOPEKA, Kan, June S.-The Alliance
executive committee of Kansas is con-
sidering a scheme which practically
places the sub-treasury plan of the Ma
tional Farmers alliance in the hands of
private capitalists. J. G. Hopkins, who
was delegate from the New York
Economic club at the Cincinnati con-
vention, is the originator of the scheme.
The plan is to establish bank in each
county of the state under the direction
of the local Alliance exchange. The
capital stock is to be furnished by pri-
vate subscription. In connection with
each bank an elevotor or store house is
to be built. A farmer may then dump
his grain, corn or cotton into the store
house, receiving for it check for 81 per
cent of the value of the grain deposited
by paying small percentage for stor-
age and insurance. He will be allowed
to keep his grain in the depository until
such time as he may deem it best to
place it upon the market. The amount
of produce deposited in this way must
not exceed the amount of stock sub
scribed for the bank. The checks to be
issued by these banks are peculiarly de-
vised and printed in colors. These
checks are made payable in E ga36d s6 or $
yer at any of the banks w +hap Az -gb., an
