IS CATARRH 1NcuRRABI.E?
Answer No, and for the Following
Reasons.

Answer No, and for the Following
Reasons.
The various kinds and modes of local
applications for catarrh, such as sprays,
atomizers, douches, inhalants, fumiga-
tons, creams, ointments, lotions, gar
giles, ETC., ETC., have in many cases a
soothing effect on the infiamed sur
faces, and are sometimes useful to
assist a cure; but neither of them nor
all Of them together ever did or ever
will cure a case of catarrh. These
things may give temporary relief, but
it is useless to expect a cure Of them.
Catarrah is not a local disease, hence
cannot be cured by local treatment.
The only hope Of success in the perma-
nent cure of a case of chronic catarrh
is to devise some remedy that will
stimulate the nerves which supply the
capillary blood vessels. There is but
one remedy that has the most desirable
effect, and that remedy is Pe-ru-na.
This remedy strikes at once at the root
Of the catarrh by restoring to the capil-
larry vessels their healthy elasticity.
Pe-ru-na is not a temporary palliative,
but a radical cure. Its action Is neces-
sarily slow, but permanent.
The reason that there are any fail
ures is either because the catarrah is
complicated by some organic disease or
the patient does not take the medicine
long enough. The majority Of people
expect to he cured in a week or two of
catarrh that has run for ten or fifteen
years. Such people are nearly always
disappointed. Pe-ru-na will cure a re-
cent case of acute catarrh in a few
days or weeks, but when the disease
becomes chronic it takes longer. In no
case should anyone leave off taking
Pe-ru-na until after writing DIR. Hart
man, as a letter from him. is almost
sure to point out the cause of the fail
ure.
A valuable pamphlet Of thirty-two
pages, setting forth IN detail the treat
ment of catarrah. coughs, colds, sore
throat, bronchitis and consumption, in
every phrase of the disease, will be
sent free to any address by the Pe-ru-na

"Caw'-kel..

The Herald Of Wednesday evening
had quite an extended mention of "a

not long since came to this city with
the avowed purpose, as the friends of
the motor line would have us UNDER

said line to English and German capi-
tallsts." The Herald claims that this
same nobleman was arrested a short
time ago "for trying to jump a board

a bigger fake than supposed at first

is CARNEGIE IN IT?

/ Indications That the Company Is to Have q
| Western Rranch-Harry Oliver Said to
Have Secured Good Options in wiscon-
sin-A Model Village and Capital Back
| of Him.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 14-An
| authentic basis for the story regarding the
establishment of western branch of the
| Carnegie works was made public to-day.
Some time ago options were purchased on
1,OOO acres of land near the city limits of
Superior and fronting on Superior bay. r.
J. Wemvss, resident head of the improve
ment company, is authority for the state
ment that the actual purchaser was Mr.. II.
w. Oliver, of Pittsburg, a prominent man
in the iron trade. Upon equally good au-
thority the statement is made that the Car
negie Company and the Minnesota Iron
Company are interested; that the plan was
originated before the serious trouble came
at Homestead, and that the course of events
has tended to hurry negotiations
Mr. Oliver was in Superior three weeks
ago and looked over the property. Os-
tensibly his visit was a pleasure trip, but
before leaving he stated that he was inter-
ested in q company which was to start a
model village and operate extensive iron
works. He refused to say positively who
the heavy moneyed men back of his scheme
were, but it was intimated that Carnegie
and the Minnesota Iron Company were In
terested.
His visit of inspection to the property in
Superior was followed by that of H. C.
Friok and the officers of the Minnesota
company to the Mesaba range. Mr.. Frick
while at the mines ordered sample cars of
ore, and agreed to purchase 100000 tons
if it was as promised, the ore to be delivered
at a point not named. Options ON the
property were purchased through agents in
Chicago, and the utmost secrecy observed
until the whole tract was obtained The
property is adjacent to the docks and terni-
nails of the Winnipeg road, which will be
the first to bring down Mesaba ores.

| "Why, what do you want with him?" said
Bingley. "Do you suppose that it was a
put up job between Hall and him?"
81 do not, replied. 'But am rather
| inclined to think that Hall may be entirely
innocent, and Richardson the sole culprit. -
And then 1 told him what had come to my
knowledge, both with regard to Halls bet
ting and Richardson's shady past.
He merely raised his eyebrows, and then,
after pondering over the matter for a few
seconds, said, "Well, you may be right,
Mr.. Meredith, and 1 will do what can to
find out the truth"
By this time Rawlius, Bingley's assistant
in the business, had put in his appearance.
The only fact of importance we CLEANED
from him was that Richardson had been to
Bury on the Saturday. Discovering that
the latter had property in the town he had
attached little importance to the visit,
especially as both he and Bingley had
all along regarded Hall as the prob
able culprit. L tancied / could
detect shade of annoyance on Bingley's
face, perhaps caused BY the fact that he had
possibly arrested the wrong man, and per-
haps little piqued that he had to thank me
for the information, though L had gained
most of it accidentally.
Two or three days passed, when one even
ing as SAL VIII my latner In tne Q1nlng
room Bingley was ushered in He had
prosecuted his inquiries about Richardson
to some purpose. 1t seems that he had
visited Bury to pay off a mortgage on his
property which had become pressing, and
the mortgage had retained the numbers of
the notes he had received These exactly
corresponded with what 1 had discovered
from my fathers pocketbook and clearly
indicated the real thief
Tom Hall was discharged from custody
soon after, but believe he kept the prom
Use he made me about betting, and is still in
my fathers office in his old post. He was
married soon after his release, and has one
of the prettiest and happiest homes in
Liverpool. Richardson was convicted on
overwhelming evidence, and is now being
provided for out of the imperial taxation.
The money was recovered, but my fathers
forgiving nature would not allow him to see
the family of even a dishonest servant in
want, and he assisted the Richardson's
largely so long as they needed it.

This was not the only case of his dishonesty,

Our conversation then branched off to
