DODD'S CATARRH CURE.
LOcnl and Internal Treatment.

In order to cure catarrh it is necessary to al
lay the inflammation of the rritated mem
branes with soothing application, cleanse the
head of the plugging mucous secretions, and
heal the discharging ulcers. For colds in the
head and nasal catarrh Dodd's local treatment
does this without the aid of snuff. douches or
fumes. If the disease has extended down
ward, affecting the bronchial tubes or lungs,
digestion and blood, the internal treatment
both removes from the system the scattered
poison and by its building-up properties as
sists nature in restoring the impaired parts.

Readers OF the Free Press and the HER
AID have noticed for nearly year a mark
ed similarity between about three-fourths
of the West Randolph items in the Argus
and those in previous issues OF the above
named papers. II has been a notorious
fact that the Argus clipped most OF its w.
Randolph matter bodily from the Free
Press, verbatim ct literafim ct punctatim"
without giving credit therefor. These
items were all written in the HERALD Of
flee by A. +. Carleton, local reporter for the
HERALD, and most Of them were in type
before they reached the Free Press office.
We never cared to speak of the matter as
il was not of the slightest interest to us
whether the Argus stole its West Randolph
news from this paper of the week previous
and the Free Press or not, but now that the
Argus has accused us of practicing once
what it has done regularly for over year,
injustice to Mr. .Careton, who writes these
items we state the above facts. The Argus
is welcome to all these items, but when it
sends reporter here on Monday we would
advise it to have him verify the names in
the Free Press items for this place publish
ed previous TO Monday, as there are often
serious mistakes made in that office, which
invariably appear in the Argus.

Topeka, Kan. Oct. 1.-The Kansas
railway commission are bringing to a
crisis the matter OF rebuilding the Kansas
Central railway branch of the Union Pa

the road with General Manager Clark the
commission ordered the company to re-
build the road. Mr.. Clark claimed in

CHICAGO, Oct. Five hundred dele
gates, in round numbers, were announced
to be duly accredited and three or foul
hundred were present on reassembling.
The convention this afternoon at once
started in to make things lively. Mortar.
ity of Nebraska set the ball rolling with
a motion to substitute NJ. V. Cannon as
permanent chairman instead of temporary
Chairman Ryan. The vote showed. how
ever, that Ryan had captured the conven-
ton and Cannon withdrew from the SON
test. Langdon OF New York threw a
fresh bone of contention among the dele
gates by moving that the chair appoint
committees of nine each on resolutions,
finance rules and order OF business and
constitution. McGuirk of Iowa demanded
that the committees each contain a rep
resentative from every state. He was
warmly seconded by Sharon of Iowa.
After much discussion and an extIaordi-
nary parliamentary tangle the conYention
acquiesced in the plan and the recess was
taken to afford the various delegations an
opportunity to elect their men.

A Crocodile in the Dam.

LEBANON. Pa, Oct. Some of the
men employed at the new reservoir of the
Lebanon water supply were yesterday
evening startled by the appearance of a
crocodile in No. 2 dam, Foreman Derry
is positive that his c~rocodileship meas
ured fully twenty feet in length. Some
of the men became SO frightened that
they dropped their picks and shovels and
took to the woods. How the crocodile
got into the dam is shrouded in mystery.
II has been noticed for some time by
Farmer Horst, who resides half a mile
from the dam, hat his ducks acd geese
have been gradually disappear
ing. He has been in the
habit lately of proceeding to the
dam during the night and with his gun
watch for the cause of the taking off OF
his poultry. His nightly vigils were re-
warded last night by a sudden commotion
in the water, followed by something
resembling a huge plank rising above the
surface. 1t Immediately gave chase to a
flock of geese, and before the farmer,
paralyzed with fright, could raise his gun.
the strange object disappeared beneath
the water. On taking an account OF the
stock the astonisbed farmer counted one
goose less and the mystery was solved.
The discovery of the animal spread like a
prairie fire, and everybody gave the dam
a wide berth. A swift rider was sem

five minutes.
The city authorities looked with some
misglvings at the tale of the half fright.
ened messenger. The news, however,
spread and the people were thrown into
the widest turmoil. Some one increased
the excitement by ringing a fire alarm.
He was promptly arrested and committed
to the station house. The mayor ordered
his officers to quickly summon the water
commissioners and Superintendent Ali
son and members OF the city council,
who Immediately drove to the dam TO in
vestigate the matter. As precaution
airy measure a platoon Of police officers
accompanied the party. Taking position
at the waters edge of the dam infected
by the monster, the city officials we're
suddenly thrown into a panic as the
crocodile Unexpectedly rose from the
water like a flash. The scramble that
followed up the enbankment presented
a scene that simply beggars description.
Every one for himself was the 90 n in a
short time not a shadow OF a city official
could be seen. Officer Leonard an excellent
swimmer, who had ventured toofar into

The drawing off the water out OF thil

Gould HystericaI.

New YORK, Oct. IA story is rife in
Wall street today that Jay Gould had a
stroke of apoplexy. 1t is said to have
arisen from the remarkable incident at the
meeting of tie Missouri Pacific directors
Wednesday. After a lengthy statement
by Gould the directors decided to declare
no dividend for the current quarter. Then
to the surprise OF everybody Russell
Sage moved a reconsideration of this
action. Gould was evidently under a severe
mental STRAIN. When Sage made the
motion he attempted to oppose it, but
suddenly became pale and sank back in a
chair, it is said, in a nervous fit of pros
%tration. Then he became hysterical, wept
and laughed alternately and a physician
had t o be called in. After a time he
overcame this nervous excitement
of his patient and Gould left the
room with him. 1t is said George
Gould took Sage to task savagely and
that the old gentleman became quite rat
tied under the castigation he received for
his unfortunate break.
