The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
INT dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, an
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a consti-
tutional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have go much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer 500 for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials. Ad-

Suicide of will Maze.
An associated press dispatch of the I'd
inst. from Grand Rapids, Mich, reads as
follows:
Will r. Maze, telegraph editor of the
Grand Rapids Eagle, was found dead in
his chair yesterday morning when his as
sociates went to work. He had been drink
ing heavily of late, in spite of having taken
the gold cure, and last evening he was
needed. lie grew respondent and threat
ened suicide, but as he had often made
threats before little attention was paid to
him. The coroner decided an inquest un-
necessary, as a bottle of morphine on his
desk and an accompanying note told the
story. Maze was IS years old and was All
experienced newspaper. man, having
worked on several local papers. A few
years ago he went to Bismarck, n. d., and
became editor of the Bismarck TRIBUNE.
He was elected probate judge, but his i'll
temperate habits forced him to resign and
return to this city. He leaves a mother,
brother and two sisters.
Poor, unfortunate fellow. Who, of the
old-time Bismarckers, does not remember
Billy Maze? Being and old friend and as
sociate OF the editor of the Bismarck TR1B-
UNE in 1881. he accepted a position on this
paper. He was a bright newspaper man,
and an encyclopedia on current affairs
He was OF a nervous, yet kind and pas
sionate disposition. but couldn't stand grief.
Away back in the '7Os he was disappointed
in love and took to drink. Attirst he tried to
drown his sorrow, but finally, through the
mediation OF a kind and Christian gentle
man, he quit d~rinkfng-after a terrible strug.
gle-and finally came to Dakota. lie
found Bismarck a lively town-the good
fellowship of whose people he could not
withstand. They did not realize his weak
ness until too late, and again he sank into
the slough OF despair. His Bismarck
friends finally succeeded in inducing him
to leave the city, and take charge OF IL
newspaper in Washburn, Mclean county.
At that point he prOspered for a while,
and was elected to various offices. Again
he succumbed to King Alcohol, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that friends
could induce him to return to 4 widowed
mothers influence in Grand Rapids. Sur.
rounded by home influence he mustered
sufficient will to again redeem himself,
and for several years had been doing good
work on the daily papers of that city. 1t
seems that his old master again took con-
troll. and what he had often threatened, he
finally, on the first day of the new year
suicided. He leaves a heart broken
mother, brother and two sisters to mourl,
his loss-aside from a host of sympa-
thetic friends among 0ld-time acQuaint-
