AN HONEST OPINION.

Hon. James Fergus. an honored citi
zen of Fergus county-and in honor of
whom the county was mamed-has ex
pressed his views on the capital question
as follows:
Il think every voter whose vote is not
bcught directly or indirectly by Ana
conda capital will vote for Helena. AT
the annual picnic held on Armell creek
in this county few days ago test vote
was taken. with the result that seventy
six were in favor of Helena and only two
for Anaconda. both of which are said 10
have been cast by strangers. And why
should there not be large majority for
Helena: Two thirds Of the area of our
state is on the east side OF the noun
. tains. Helena is on the east side. The
geographical center is in this county.
Helena is nearest to the geographical
center. 1t is easy of access in all direc
tions. 1t has every convenience for the
capital Of the state and it is not owned
by or dependent on any one man. cor
poration or industry.
Again. while great deal of Helena
capital has been and is still invested in
our mines, and in our cattle. sheep and
horse industries. not a dollar Of Anacon-
da capital has been invested in our
county as far as | have heard. Experts
are sent TO look AT our mines and make
big promises before election. but we
neither see them nor their money after.
Nearly half Of our population is from
Helena and vicinity what we call the
upper country'-and while capitalists
and corporations are buying up and con.
trolling our votes. our legislatures and
congresses, hope. Independent of it be-
ing just and rIghtland for the benefit Of
a large majority of the people of the
state that the capital should be kept at
Helena, that the people of this county
will show by their votes that they are
not serfs, but American freemen. whose
votes cannot be bought or controlled by
wealthy capitalists. American or foreign
These are trying times: government by
the people is on trial. Let us not aid bv
our votes in it's overthrow.

CATARRH.

Catarrh is usually applied to & peculiar dis order of the nostrils and adjacent parts, while in fact it may attack every organ in the body, containing mucous membrane, Catarrh may then be said to be 8 disease of the mucous membranes of the body. The most prominent feature however is @ morbid discharge from the head either by the nostrlls or dropping into the throat. At first there is almost constant flow of clear acrid fluid, but later on there is seereted an offensive, purulent, greenish or yellowish matter In others there is a tough viscid and offensive phlegm, which collects be- hind and above the soft palate and which ad- hers with glueish tenacity.
 In some cas~ there is thick viscid, slimy secretion which coats over the membrane o1 the nasal cavities and then putrefes giving rise to stench sufficiently fetid to poison the at mosphere of a whole room. In other cases all secretions are suspended causing an unpleasant feeling of dryness, heat and feverishness in the head and nose condition known as "Dry Cat arrh." The disease speedily extends to the air cavities of the bones of the head and face and down past the nasal cavity into the throat, causing frequent attempts to clear the parts of phlegm producing the sound "hem," more or less foreibly. In this manner the diT1culty spreads from organ to organ invading the throat, larynx. trachea and bronchial tubes un. til it finally reaches the lungs.
 Thus Catarrh becomes the starting point of eventually transmitted to the lungs, both by nervous connection and continuity of surface.
 So frequently has this fatal course been no ticed that all those who are thoroughly conver- sant with the subject now look upon Catarrh as premonition and one of the very earliest manifestations of consumption. Every case oi Catarrh is curable by our sy stem of practice.

Primitive Habits and Customs of Louisi-
 ana Ni1nrO:.s.
 q have been among the squirrel hunt ers," said a gentleman who had just re- turned from his vacation, according to the New Orleans sTimes-Democrat. ''The squirrel hunters are peculiar people inhabiting the southwestern countie: of Mississippi and adjoining Louisiana parishes. They have been living there for generations and preserve the prim- tive customs and habits of their fore fathers.
 ''The squirrel hunter is doubtless de- scendant of Kentucky settlers, for they are all tall, stately people, and great lovers of the hunt. But there is now little large game to be found, and so they spend their time hunting the squirrel, which is also scarce. The squirrel hunters are farmers, but raise little ex- cept corn. The rine-hill region, where they live, is not penetrated by rail roads, and there are hundreds of such people who have never seen a steam engine. I saw 8 great many of the oldest squirrel hunters of the country, and found them to be very strange looking people. They all wear long hair, which often reaches down to their belts. Their boards, too, are long, often matted with their hair They wear homespun pantaloons and homemade shoes. Their shirts are oftentimes made from the skins of squirrels which they wear in the win ter, while in summer they wear an open blouse shirt, also of home make Their houses are made of pine logs, be- tween which mud is placed as plas- tering. These houses are covered with pine boards split from the woods. There are never any inclosures about their homes, their yards opening out into the pine forest.
 ''These squirrel hunters, while they have no churches are very religious people, though great deal of supersti- tion is connected with their worship. Their churches ara made of boughs of pine, placed upon scSstfcl;ling, to keep out the sun. Now and then a country revival is held in these arbor-houses, but this is seldom.

OUR MODE OF CURING CATARRH

The applications are made to reach every part of the diseased surface in the most direct and positive manner; instantly penetrating every cell and cavity of the head communicating with the nostrils. in this manner we have treated plete success, after all other attempts have failed. We care not how long the disease may have continued, or from what cause it did arise. Every case of Catarrh is curable.
