CAN Catarrh
BE
CURED?

We say, yes; because it has been
proven so often right here in our own
town. The ONLY way that perfect
cure can be accomplished, is by a per-
feet antiseptic remedy; all other meth
DDS of treatment are merely palliative.
Now it is we'll known fact that Septi-
eide is the most perfect antisceptic the
world has ever produced; which can be
easily proven to you if you will call at
413 Grand Avenue, Milwaukee. Any
remedial preparation which will arrest
the decay of meat is an antiseptic. At
the above number they will show you
beefsteaks, chickens, eggs, etc, which
were submitted to the gases of Septicide
nearly two years ago and they still re-
main perfectly fresh and sweet. Sept
eide has cured hundreds of cases of
catarrh here, and we urge others who
are afflicted with this loathsome disease
to try it. Call for circular. Sold by

uo SHas n Icbcl Dog,

The pun 1ication of the statement
that the Germans are training dogs
for war recalls the fact that soldier
of Col. Bowen's regiment in the Con-
fcdcratc army had large dog which
invariably accompanied him on any
duty whatever and was ms good no n
companion. The dog was MS ardent Il
rebel as his master, and somehow or
other seemed to have prcternaturlly
quick nose for blue coat. When the
man was on picket duty his dog was
always nosing about some distance in
the front, and IL there were any Fed
erals within half mile he would find
them out and bark. He never ven
tured to attack them, but, like n cav
alryman, took to the rear when IN
engagement was in progress, but
after the battle was over he would
reappear, The man was finally killed
while on the picket line by going to a
spring after water in spite Of tho
warnings of the dog, and the men of
the regiment tried to keep the animal
but he went away. lie had no esprit

From n Farm TO n Peerare.

From small farm on the North d.
kota prairies to fine old English estate
and seat in the house of lords is long
step, but James s. Sinclair, of Dakota,
Nelson County, North Dakota, has made
the stride. The Sinclairs were distanty
related to George Phillips Alexander,
Earl of Caithness, but SO light was tho
tie OF kindship that no one in the family
expected to profit by it. James Sinclair
emigratcd and purchased tract of land
about four miles from Dakota, in that
State, stocked it aud bent every energy
toward improving his little estate. He
called the place "Berriedale," an old
family name and the title bestowed by
courtesy upon the eldest son of the Earl
of Caithness.
BY strange fatality all the people be-
tween him and the title died. Either he
mad been extremely careless or his friends
and the family solicitor had an exceeding
~ contracted idea of the area of the
northwest, and the letters were simply
addressed to "Jamcs s. Sinclair, Berrie-
dale Farm, near Dakota" One after
another OF the communications found its
way to the dead letter office at Washing
ton, and five months were spent by tho
department officials in discovering the
right address of the man for whom the
letters were intended. Tracers were sent
out In every city and village in Mime
sofa, Nebraska and Dakota, and finally
the lost heir was located. --Meo Orl<anf

that Capt. White called ut Corinto,
Nicaragua, where he took on board
five passengers, one Of them citizen
OF Baltimore, and tho other four men
who had formerly been identified with
the Government Of San Salvador
When his vessel arrived at La Lib

jurisdiction Of President Ezeta, a
posse OF San Salvadoreans came on

he placed it at once in readiness for
active and vigorous operation. The
San Salvadoreans did not wait for the
assault, but left the vessel more rap

some peculiar quality of Thames water
no man can say, but the fact remains
that sealskln London dyed is unapproach-
able for softness, gloss, good color and
wearing quality.
To secure all these is n work of time
and patience. The short. velvety pile
IS overgrown sparsely with long gray
white hairs. They arc plucked out one
by one with tweezers. Then the pre-.
pared skin is stretched, fur SIDE up, on a
clean board, and dye applied with a
brush evenly over its surface. Great
care is necessary to keep the coloring
matter from reaching the skin-it would
rot and ruin it. Three coats are needed
to give the rich tone known as "seal
brown" which is Is unlike as possible to
the natural lightish brown gray. After
the last coat is dry the skin passes to an
especially skilled worker, who looks it
all over; if there are bad spots, he cuts
them out and deftly sets in a good bit in
place OF them, and finally decides what
manner of garment will best come out OF
1t; also from what sections shall be cut
particular parts. This matching fur, rs
Is called, is nice operation. In all ami
mais there is wide difference both OF
growth. thickness and color between tho
middle part, which covers the backbone,
and the edges. Hence the wrong side of
any fur garment looks pretty much like
war map, or the plot of new suburban
town. The right must match to hair,
and only thus can that result be brought
about.
Nearly oil sorts of skins go through
the same process. Presumably they
come into the dressers' hands dry and
hard. The first thing is to soak them
in warmish water till they are as soft as
the day they left their original occupants.
Then they are carefully fieshcd with q

priced that it is reserved for sable and

A Great Bono Softer.

Alois Wirth, of Rochester, n. Y, has
of late been the cause Of grave concern
OF certain professional men in that city,
whose occupation seems to DO threatened
by the success achieved by Mr.. Wirth in
cases where the regular school treatment
was far from satisfactory. His ordinary
occupation is that of shoemsking, but
the sphere in which he is making a sem
sation is that of surgeon or bone setter.
It appears that AIR. Wirth was in the
army of France, and whilo carrying u

thing about the anatomy of the human
form divine. Ho became skilful in re-
ducing fractures and sprains, and it is by
exercise of his art In this latter direction
that he is now makinga sensation here.
Several instances are cited in which
he is reported to have afforded almost
instant relief to sufferers from sprains,
who were undergoing the usual treat
ment by surgeons of good standing and
were making but slow progress toward
recovery.
Ono of his patients was lady who
had been in bed for four weeks suffering
from sprain, and seemed destined to
remain there much longer. She was per-
suaded to try Wirth's treatment, and
under his manipulation the pain was re-
moved, and the limb so successfully re-
stored to its normal condition that in u
few minutes she stood up and walked
away without difficulty. Another
woman who had suffered excessively
from sprain submitted to his treatment,
and in twenty-five minutes was surprised
to find herself i'll perfect command OF her
limb.
Mr.. Wirth, when asked recently how
long he had been practicing his art, he
replied: "Well, think about thirty
