SPRING TIME
The Best Season of the Year to
Treat Chrome Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that great num-
ber of people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by taking Pe-ru-ua
during the past cold season, yet it
cannot be denied that the cold, wet,
stormy winter has retarded many
cures, and in some cases prevented
cure. But, after unusual delay,
spring time has come at last, and
now is the time for all cata,rh suf
ferers to begin systematic cou' sc
of treatment i,r the disease. The
greatest difficulty i'll the way of
treating chronic catarrh is that the
patient is SO liable to catch cold
during the treatment and thus delay
a cure. This liability at this season
OF the year is in great measure re-
moved, aud no one should neglect
the opportunity to begin treatment.

In His Old Quarters.

Otto Andre is again an inmate of the
county Jail, being incarcerated behind
its bars by Jailer Thomas last night,
says the Glenwood Ledger of the 9th
ult. He is reported to have been at his
old tactics again, killing deer and elk
for their hides, and yesterday the game
warden prepared to start for Trappcrs
lake to arrest him. Otto kindly saved
him this trouble, however, by unsus-
pectingly walking into town last night

vided him with quarters for which he
will have no rent to pay. He will be
called upon to answer to the charge of
killing two COW elk for their hides and
leaving the meat to rot on the ground.
This is the main charge specified, but
other complaints of Il similar nature
are lodged against him.
At his trial few days later Andre
was fined $500 by jury.

An Omen Confession.

Il will do different if / ever get hold
of piece of land again; LII not go and
slap mortgage on it just because that
sort of thing happens to be fashion
able.' Thus spoke well-known citi-
zen in THE HERALD office the other
day. He was about to leave for pastures
new and was relating some of the cir
cumstances that caused him to seek
more remunerative field of operation.
There are lots of others who have or are
about to go through the same expert
ence and there is no doubt but that they
all entertain the same sentiments.
Will the lesson point moral and light
the way to n remedy? Undoubtedly it will
with many while others will drop into
the same old "devil-may-care" habit at
the first opportunity. We admire and
respect man like the one quoted above
who has the courage to come out and
acknowledge his mistakes and resolve
to profit by them; such man is sure to
come out all right, while the one who is
always laying his misfortunes to the
country or his neighbors has neither
our respect or sympathy.

Our Proposition Endorsed.

A few weeks ago The HERALD urged
its readers to consider in IA favorable
light the question of giving free right
of way to the Denver-Salt Lake Short
line and we are pleased to announce
that our suggestion has met with ap-
proval of many settlers in this valley,
and others farther west, among them
James A. Kane, who resides at Jensen
postotlice, on Green river. Mr.. Kane
writes to say that he will give them
1.-THE railroadl right of way through his
place; also depot grounds, if needed.
Vast quantities of asphaltum. coal, Jet
and black wax are found in the lower
White and Ashley valleys. Gold, silver,
copper and lead are also found in pay
ing quantities in the Brush creek and
other districts. Mr. Kane has shipping
mineral on the dump of one of his Brush
creek properties and with the advent of
railroad mining for the precious
metals would become tlourishing in
mouth of Duchesne river. The agri-
cultural products of lower White, Ash
ley and Duchesne valleys would also
be an important factor in supporting a
railroad; likewise, immense numbers o.
cattle, horses and sheep.

Not as Good as silver Here.

New York banking methods may go
all right in New York, but they don't
go here rs the following shows: A few
days ago Treasurer Hay received a re-
mittancc in payment for taxes, but as
the enclosure was not legal tender it
was returned with the following reply,
which, we persuaded Mr.. Hay to allow
us to publish as illustrating phase of
the alleged sound money (?) mode of
doing business in the gold-bug metro
polls:
DEAR SIR-Yours, enclosing
certified check on - bank, is re-
ceived. Am sorry to inform you that [
cannot accept checks on any New York
bank as long as those banks remain in
their present condition. When promi-
nent insurance companies write to their
agents here that they will no longer ac-
cept New York exchange in payment
of premiums, because it is paid to them
in clearing house certificates in lieu of
cash, think it is proper for me to be
very cautious of New York checks. l
regret that it is necessary to cause you
inconvenience, but must ask you to
remit by money order, express order or
registered letter.
Yours respectfully, II. J. HAY,
County Treasurer.

All BiInctallists.

1t is pleasant to know that all the
senators who have recently been making
speeches in support of President Cleve-
lands recommendations that the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
he repealed are bimetallists. The Bos-
ton Journal says that Senator Hoar is a
bimetallist. Senator Morrill, assured
the senate that he is bimetallist. Sem
ator Voorhees, went little further and
asserted that all Democrats are bimet-
allists. The senator from Indiana did
not quite like to stand responsible for
Cleveland, but challenged any senator
to prove that Cleveland is not bimet-
allist. AS Cleveland has to an eminent
degree the faculty of leaving people in
doubt as to what he intended to say, the
challenge of Senator Voorhees, will not
involve him in much trouble. When
public men approach policy with de-
ceptive phrases, the people should begin
to think for themselves. These sena-
tors are doing their best to set up the
single gold standard while claiming in a
vague sort of way to be in favor Of the
double standard of gold and silver. II
they would come out boldly and advo
cate the single gold standard as the bes,
for the country they would show Q
higher claim to public respect.-Sar

Wcathcr-CroD Bulletin.

Following is the report of the Colo
RADIO weather service for the week end
ing last Tuesday:
During the past week the rainfall has
been deficient, except about normal
over the western portion. Cool weather
with average sunshine, has been favor
able for harvesting of all crops, which
is generally going on over the state.
Native grasses have been injured by
the dry weather over the northeast
counties, but over other sections IS in
excellent condition. Encouraging re-
ports continue from the fruit belt in the
western portion. Over the more ele-
waited portions in the mountains killing
frosts are reported. Along the eastern
mountain slope and south-central por-
ton the corn crop will make about an
average. Oats seem to have suffered
much from recent drouth. kate pota

In perusing the daily papers and read
ing of bank suspensions, works shutting
down and other signs of dullness and
distress, during the past few weeks,
says the Pittston (Pa.) Gazette, one
fails to find a brewery, distillery or sa-
loon that has suspended; but, on the
other hand, if local indications count
for anything, they appear to be doing a
greater business than ever-so much so
that some of them are open night and
day, and all but few on Sunday. And
it is generally that class Of men who
spend their money all over the bar for
beer that are the first to cry "hard
times" and keep it up, too.
The writer of the above has the thing
put up about right.

An Inkind Cut.

Not word of news is found in the Denver
papers OF late regarding the Denver, Salt Lake
& San francisco road. Are we to infer from
this that the scheme has dropped through on
account of the financial stringency, or wns the
whole thing fake, pure and simple?
The above is from the Steamboat
Springs Pilot of last week. Now, while
we are not authorized to speak for the
company, we are willing to stake our
all that the scheme is no fake. The
promoters of this enterprise are not of
the fake stripe.

The threatened trouble between cattle
and sheep men on Roam creek, has been
amicably settled by each side coming

cattle off the sections set apart fol-
sheep. A very wise way of settling

of Rio Blanco county by its earnest and
uuwavering advocacy of the building of
the Denver, Salt Lake & San Francisco
railroad. The project is one of the
most meritorious that has been pre-
sented for the consideration of capital
lists in recent years, and operations look
ing to its construction should begin
as soon as the financial condition i'm
proves. The building of the air line
would be the means of opening up this
