500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that's Catarrh. Halls
Cure is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

tary lover the left article ON foot ball and
advises an importation of Japanese pro-

Life or Death2

It is of vital Importance that 1T
should be understood by persons whose
kidneys are inactive, that this condl-
ton of things is finally inductive of
state of the organs where life hangs in
the balance. Bright's disease, dIa-
betes, aIbuminuria are all diseases OF a
very obstinate character in their ma
ture stage, and all have fatal tehden
cy. They often battle the most prac-
ticed medical skill, and the most ap-
proved remedies of materia medlca.
But opposed at the outset-that is to
say, when the kidneys begin to dis
charge their functions inactively-
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
dangerous tendency is checked. Very
useful, also, is this household medicine
for those ailments of common occur
rence-constipation, billousness, dys'
pepsia and nervousness. 1t is safe
guard against malaria and averts chron.
ic rheumatism.

The Colorado River Irrigation
Company Case ina Court.

New YORK, Oct. Sin the United
States circuit court today Judge La
combe made an order for the appoint
ment of temporary receiver for the
affairs of the Colorado River Irrigation
company, which was applied for on
behalf of j. @. Arken, James Ii.
Booth and others, about month ago.
In the bill of complaint it was charged
that John G. Beatty organized the
company for his own selfish ends and
to secure the sale of worthless tract
of land in Mexico, which he did not
have even claim for $7,500,000.
All these things, it was charged,
Beatty tried to accomplish by fraud.
The transactions charged are de-
MED on the part of the defendants,
and reiterated in answering afhdatives
filed by the compliments. Judge La
combe thought however, that there
was enough in the charges to warrant
at least the appointment of tenn
porary receiver, and made the order
accordingly.
