DIR. Sage's treatment OF Catarrh in the
Head is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results In a permanent cure.
Don't longer be Indifferent to the verb
fled claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap-
pear with the use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case or of how long standing. It's
q remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands OF
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in
it with money. They offer $500 reward
for q case of Catarrh which they can

It's a medicine that allows them to
take such a risk.

ing Prevalence of Cattle Disease.
specIal to the Indianapolis Journal
VINCENNEs. Aug. 3-Jacob Scudder, a
citizen of Edwardsport. this county, Is the
owner of fine stock farm. as we'll as the
proprietor OF large drug store In his town.
All at once he discovered that his cattle
began TO DIE in a mysterious way. The
shoulder. or ham, of the animal would
swell up and turn black. and he at trst
imagined that the poor brute had been
bruised by the foreclosures of the other
stock. After number had died it struck
HIM as peculiar that so many should die
from bruises OF similar character. Re-
search into the matter developed the fact
that his fine cattle were dying from that
fearful disease known as black quarter"
By vigorous effort he stayed the fatal NAL
zdy, but not unit. he had lost q number of
his very best stock.
In this connection it will be fitting to
state that the dispatches concerning the
cattle disease across the river in Lawrence
county. Illinois. and the southern part of
that state generally are very much exag-
gerated. The report has been sent out that
cattle are dying in certain localities by
the hundreds, but this Is entirely dis
claimed by our neighbors across the
Wabash. They say that cattle there are
afflicted by a strange disease. but the
trouble does not prove fatal. They are
sick four or five days, and then recover.
Hon. l.. ID. Black, late of the Illinois Leg
islature. lives on a farm near Bridgeport,
where he is engaged in stock raising and
agricultural pursuits. He has the finest
herds of cattle in Lawrence county, and In
an interview be stated that some of his
cattle are afflicted with q strange disease.
About ten days ago the first one fell sick.
then Others and they became very sick.
The exaggerated telegraphic reports from
eighbOring counties alarmed him at first
The afflicted brutes got down and had to be
assisted to arise. They refused food and
water. and did not chew the cud When
assisted TO their feet they made no effort to
walk. and from q stiffness that possessed
them they conld scarcely stand, and when
forced to move around their joints cracked
like rusty hinges. After lingering in this
condition for about a week the animal be-
gins slowly to recover and to regain its
appetite. Then IL begins to Craze and
seems as well as ever. Mich cows so
afflicted almost entirely go dry, but re-
cover their milk on regaining their health.
1t is the observation of Mr. Black that the
disease is not fatal. for he has lost none.
and further he has heard of none dying.
He thinks no one need have any fears as to
the fatality Of this strange cattle disease.

A sculptor. Lat. start in Llfs.

Hiram Powers was the eighth Of nine
children, and he was a very small boy
when his father died, and he had to
go to work for the family. He had
been born in Vermont, but his parents
had moved out to Ohio in that way
poor people have of roaming hither and
yon after better luck.
It was in Ohio that the father died,
and In Ohio that Hiram fought his
youthful battle. For seven years he
had charge of the wax figures in a Gin
cinnati museum. and it was while there
that he felt an impulse toward his fu-
ture art, and tried his prentice hand at
modelling in clay.
But it was not until he was thirty
years old that he was at liberty to
strike out for himself, and he was
thirty-two before he had money enough
to go to Italy. Yet he was to be the
sculptor of the Greek Slavel"-Youth's
Companion.
