An muaual offer
tho one that's made by the propri.
etors Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's reward of $500 for an incura-
bic case Of Catarrh. If you have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether you have one,
till you've tried DR.. Sagc's Remedy.
What's incurablc by any other
means, yields to that. BY its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it cures tho worst cases,
no matter of how long standing.
That's the reason the money can be
offered. There's q risk about it, to
be sure. But it's so small that the
proprietors are willing to take it.
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profusc, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
ssive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few of these
symptoms likely to be present at
once.

bushels; wheat 300, 262O0J bushels; oats
seq. 62l. 600 bushels. The area of corn,
which was slightly increased in planting,
was reduced by utter failure and aband.
onment of more than 6.Oo0,O00 acres. the
area harvested being II gsJ. 763 acres The
average yield per acre was 301 bushels
and the supply for consumption per head
of population is twenty-three bushels or
eleven bushels less than in 1889
Wheat Was Also Unsatisfactory.
The aggregate wheat area was 81. 0s7. II

yield per acre III bushels These are
measured bushels, of a quality grading
somewhat lower than usual, the weight of

differences in the weight of the
crop are not often more than n pound

series of wears, the lowest for seven years
being $50 in 1881, and the highest 5s.5 in
1885,. The yield per acre is the

nearly 416, 900. OOO bushels, and with two
exceptions is the lowest rate during the

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. l9-lanham OF
Texas, in speech in the house Saturday
endorsing the army appropriation as re-
ported from the committee, spoke in highly
eulogistic terms of the bravery and sense
OF duty of the Union soldiers, and said
their influence would sweep away the last
vestige Of obstacle to fraternalism. The
south knew no other flag than that which
hung over the speakers head, and they
served no other country than this great
country. The people of the south were
sincere in every profession OF loyalty, and
they would ever be ready to testify to their
affection and to their acceptance of the
result of the late fearful strife. He wished
that he could incite the old soldiers
throughout the land to wage uncompro-
missing hostility against every unjust pro-
scription of their fellow men, and to break
down sectionalism.
Kerr Finds Rift In the Lutte.
Kerr of Iowa said that the gentleman
implied that the desire of the people TO
have fair elections was an appeal to sec.
tionalism. Referring to remark made
10y Lanham that such statesmen as Vest,
Butler and Morgan could not be mem
TONED a. candidates for the presidency or
vice presidency, merely because they
were southern men, Kerr commended
that remark to gentlemen on the other
side. GrOsvenor of Ohio inquired whether
II was not n fact that record OF service
in the Union army effectualy barred ev-
cry man living in states lately in re-
bellion from being elected TO any Office OF
profit or trust.
Controverted by the Democrats.
Kerr said that he did not know whether
that was true or not, but il was an un-
fortunate fact that in the list of members
elected from the southern states there did
not appear Il man who had served in the
Union army. Several Democrats were i'm
mediately upon their feet with refuta.
tion OF this statement Kerr said that he
referred to the present house, and par
ticularly To the state of Missouri rs refus-

forth that on Thursday night an Indian
