There is more of Catarrh in this section
OF the country than of all the other dis
eases put together and, until the last few
years, 1t was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pronounce
ed 1t local disease and prescribed local
remedies and, from constantly failing to
cure by local treatment, they pronounced
1t incurable. Science has proved that
eatarrh is constitutional disease and,
therefore, It requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses varying
from 10 drops to q teaspoonful. II acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system. The company offers one
hundred dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and Testimonials.

At the Methodist church slight change
was made in the Christmas eve celebra-
ton, this year there being a specially pre-
pared program, entitled "Our Guiding
Star" consisting of Scripture and songs,
interpreted at convenient times with rec
itations and dialogues by the young peo-
pie. The whole made a bright and pleas
ing program, and the order of service was
so nicely arranged that there was perfect
harmony of thought throughout the ex-
ercises. Following these exercises, the
beautifully laden Christmas tree was
unburdened and presents enough for all
were distributed. The happy and joyful
faces OF the children as each received the
little gift more than paid for the thought
fulness on the part OF the giver.
Sunday morning the usual preaching
service was held, the pastor taking for his
text words found in Luke /. 1878 and
Acts /. II.

Christmas at the "White Church" was
observed in the customary manner with a
festival of songs and Tecitations by the
children and young people. The trees
were loaded with gifts of all descriptions
which were dealt out to old and young
alike. The children, to whom Christmas
and its observance seem especially appro-
PIRATE, looked happy and satisfied with
the many remembrances that fell to their
lot. Sunday morning. in place OF the us
ual services, long and interesting pro-
gram was given under the caption, "The
Guiding Star" The various readings and
songs were meant to harmonize with, as
well as vivify, the lessons of Christmas eve.
The evening service continued in nearly
the same line and had the same purpose in
view as had the two previous ones, using,
however, a different method in bringing
out the true conception of Christmas. To
effect this, stereopticon views were en-
ployed, twenty in number, illus
trating the various stages in Christ's life.
The effectiveness of this was greatly en-
HANGED by the reading of Scripture bear
ing upon each picture as it was turned on
the screen. An additional reading was
given directly after the Scripture, describ-
ing more fully the picture, the persons and
the surroundings. Numerous songs were
interspersed throughout the exercises
wherever the illustration suggested one.

chrIstmas at the Various churches.

On Saturday night the Christian church
was filled with the children of the Sunday
school and their friends to listen to the
rendering of the Christmas cantata, San
ia Claus Prize and Who Got It." The ex-
ercises were of high order, and showed
a great amount OF hard work. The spok-
en- parts, as well as the singing, were very
commendable, and some of the costumes
were very appropriate. The Christmas tree
was filled with beautiful presents, while
many were around and under the tree.
The children we're happy and satisfied,
and some good lessons were taught, and
these constitute a successful Christmas
gathering.
Christmas exercise was given ,entitled"The
Babe of Bethlehem" which brought out
the meaning of Christmas to the world
and added to the enjoyment and profit of
the Christmas season.

THE SILVER STATUE.

The proposition of Ada Rehan to
pose as the model for a statue to be
made of Montana silver has reused
the ire of al the girls in Montana.
They proposed to have a Montana
girl serve as model dressed in a

girls preserved in enduring silver.
There is scarcely girl in the whole
State who is not put up great deal
better than Ada Rehan- Some peo-
pie may object to the cost of the
statue, but after the International
Monetary Conference gets through
with the white metal, life sized
statue of 150-pound girl wont cost
much over 800 and the State ought
to stand that.

The Gopher Question.

For some time past there has been
a great commotion in Lyon county
Some years ago bounty was placed
on gophers scalps but the Lyon
County commissioners refused to pay
on the ground that the scalps were
squirrel and not Gopher scalps.
The District Court has decided the
case and declared that the plague
which Lyon county had last May was
a gopher plague and not ground
squirrel plague. Ranchers in Carson
and Mason valleys, seeing their crops
destroyed by the pests, made big
wages by killing the strange animals
at cent and half per head, the
State law providing such bounty for
gophers, The first bill p esented
against the county for 500. The
county commissioners refused pay
me1t-alleging that the ANNA were
squirrels. A long trial was held
during the summer, at which zool-
ogical experts testified, The Court
has had the case under advertisement
for three months and now gives
learned decision that the animals
were gophers. The test case for 5000
is but an entering wedge. There are
numerous other claimants now ready
to file their bills, and the result will
be that the Lyon county treasury
viii soon get some heavy drafts from
an unexpected quarter.

HELPING THE FALLEN.

The Examiner has opened a cru
SADIE in defense of the fallen women
in San Francisco and many of the
leading people of the city are coming
to its aid. The approach of Christ
mas is a good season of the year to
stretch out the hand of purity and
charity toward this unfortunate class.
The matter has called forth a good
deal Of talking and writing, but no
where in all literature does one find
50 much eloquence and truth in the
same compass as the famous pen pic
ture Of the "Scarlet Woman," by
Lecky:
''Tlere has arisen in society,""
wrote Lecky, "a figure which is Ger
tairly the most mournful, and in
some respects the most awful, upon
which the eye of the moralist can
dwell. That unhappy being whose
very name is shame to speak; who
co0nterfeits with cold heart the
Transports of affection, and submits
herself as the passive instrument of
lust; who is scorned and insulted as
the vilest of her sex, and doomed,
for the most part, to disease and abb
ject wretchedness and an early death,
appears in every age as the perpetual
symbol of the degradation and the
sinfulness of man. Herself the SUI
preme type of vice, she is ultimately
the most efficient guardian of virtue.
But for her the unchallenged purity
of countless happy homes would be
polluted, and not few who. in the
pride of their interrupted chastity,
think of her with an indignant shud-
der, would have known the agony of
Temorse and despair. On that one
degraded and ignoble form are con-
centrated the passions that might
have filled the world with shame
She remains, while creeds and civil
izations rise and fall, the eternal
priestess of humanity, blasted for
the sins of the people. F"
No effort to grapple with the social
evil, can be successful where the
principles laid down in the above are
not ever before the eyes of the re-
former
