THE NEW JAIL.

The county board metMonday after
noon to consider the matter Of lail
plans. CONS. Hannay and Hughes
took the ground that the matter
should be postponed for another year
on account of the financial stringen-
cy, but Cons. Mahowald, Graf and
Mountain favored putting in the
foundation this fall, as $500 can be
saved by so doing, on account of the
surplus of labor.
J. A. Willard and j. H. Ray appear
ed before the board and advised that
all unnecessary expenditures be cut
off, as all firms and individuals are
doing. 1t was stated to these gentle
men that the county has S27, 900 in
the banks and that the foundation
would cost but $1,000. Both expressed
themselves as not opposed to this ex-
penditure, and urged that the foun-
dation be put in this fall
Com .Mahowald stated that it would
be better to spend $1,000 in paying la
borers than in supporting their fami-
lies next winter.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
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 from 10 drops to a teaspoonful
1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address

There never has been a time in
the history of the country, says the
St. Cloud Journal Press, when the
people who have money were so anX-
iously looking for bargains as right
now. They know that the panlcy
times are about over and that prices
on all commodities will advance. For
this reason they will buy now, when
they can get big bargains for their
dollars. They are watching the
columns of the papers closely for bar
gains. The merchant who is willing
to sacrifice his goods for cash can get
the cash by telling the public about
it. Judicious advertising will bring
bigger returns now than ever. The
successful merchants are doing the
advertising in times like these. The
fellows who are Otadvertising are the
once who cannot meet the prices of
their competitors.

-Ilere is nOGnlng new IN regard
to the banks. The examiners will
complete their work within few
days. All that now remains to be done
to secure the speedy reopening of the
banks is for the depositors to prom
pity inform the bank officers that
they will not withdraw their deposits
when the banks do open. The banks
will not and cannot open until these
promises are made. 1t therefore be-
hooves depositors to act at once. Those
who are owing the banks should also
come forward and pay what they
can. If they cannot pay all they owe
they should pay little,as in this way
the banks will secure more ready
money, and have less liabilities.
