No one doubts that DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or Of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but son call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DIR. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk Of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the riski
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist so cents
and the trial begins.

Campaign Foot Up.
The round sum OF s1,30O,O00 is asked to

principal items OF cost are $035,016 for
transportation of troops and supplies, and
s1s7,7O2 for extra clothing. camp and gar
rison eqnipage necessary to it out for the
winter campaigni $4,000 TO replace horses
broken down in the campaign and for the
purchase OF ponies, and $50, 200 to cover the
difference in cost OF supplies purchased for
troops In the field and the contract prices
at the post from which the troops were
drawn. There were other expenses under
the supply department that will probably
bring the total cost OF the campaign up to
$4,000, 900, a sum sufficient TO have given
the Sioux the 100000 annual appropria-
tion promised them for period of twenty
years.

speculative tendencies are held I'm check
by the conviction that consumers
demands may not prove quite equal

crops. The average prices OF commodities
advanced nearly half OF per cent. for the

Celestial KIncdo

Famine and Floods Cause Horrors I'm the
Celestial Kingdom.
Terrible floods and famine have been ex-
perienced In Northern China. The Cover
nor General of Ii Hing Chang reports that
the people of Schuan suffered terribly by
flood which destroyed temples, bridges, and
city walls, In no less than ten districts. In
Wen Chuan the loss OF life will reach fully
one thousand. Immediately following the
floods at Pei Chang fire broke out and de-
stroyed thirty five houses In three other
places houses we're burned to the number of
200. The suffering among the poor is some
thing terrible. The roads everywhere are
difficult of passage and crowds of starving
wretches are on their way to Shanghai

But little was done by Congress on tho
9Th. except TO consider Worlds Fair mat
tiers. After a long dis cussion concerning
salaries OF officials, Col. Davis, Director
General, was awarded $1,000 per year, and
hts position was made national one. The
President will be paid $1,000, Vice Presi-
dept $4,000, the Secretary $4,000, and 1000
will be devoted TO clerk hire. These figures
are greatly reduc ed; but the action OF the
House In recognizing the Director General as
u national oficer Is regarded by the Fair
officials as a great victory, as II stamps the
enterprise as national one and will give
assurance To foreign exhibitors that private
interests do not control it. President
Palmer regards the action OF reducing
salaries with disfavor, but says he should
work as hard for nothing as he would for
big figure; and he says the exhibit is to be
the grandest the world ever saw.
