Home and Abroad.

It is the duty of everyone, whether at home or travelling for pleasure or business, to equip hlmself with the remedy which will keep up strength and prevent illness, and cure such ills as are liable to come upon all in every day life. For instance, Hoods Sar- saparilla ss a general tonic, and 10 keep the blood pure and less liable to absorb the germs of diseases will bc well nigh invaluable. Change of drinking water often causes serious trouble, especially if one has been used to spring water in the country. From few drops to a teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsapariila in a tumbler of water will prevent the water having any in JurIons effect.
 Hoods Vegetable Pills, as cathar- tic. cause no discomfort. no disturb ance, no loss of sleep, but assist the digestive organs, so that satisfactory results are effected in 8 natural and regular manner.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & O., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is. taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure.

A dispatch of recent date has the following to say regarding the Col orado River Irrigation Company:
 According to allegations con tained in complaint filed in the United States circuit court in New York City on Tuesday, Sept. 11th, Judge L. Combe will be called up on to take action with the object of preventing the continuation and final consummation of what is characterized as one of the most colossal frauds in modern times. The victims include prominent New Workers and other residents of the U nited States and Canada. James H. Beatty swears he has lost $37, 800.
 The complainants in the case, in addition to James H. Beatty, are James c. Aiken, Benjamin H.. Doane and Leo Wormser of New York. The defendants are Frank A. Miller, c. H. Dow, Samuel N. Wood, F. P. Earnest, Frank Church J. N. Brown, C. W. Kittredge, J W. Carlisle, T. J. O'Donnell of California, and John c. Beatty of Texas, all directors or trustees of the Colorado River Irrigation company.
 The company was first organiz- ed January 7th, 1891, under the name of the Arizona and Sonora Land Irrigation Company, but the title was changed January g, 1893, to it's present form. It's ostensible object was to carry on the irriga- tion of land in California, Arizona, Lower California and Mexico. Its capital stock was $7,50O,OOO, di- yided into 150,0O0 shares of $50 each.
 In March last J. H. Beatty ob- tained from the supreme Court of the state of New York mandamus requiring the directors to show him the books, but John c. Beatty went to California, taking the min. ute books of the transactions with him, and James H. Beatty was un- able to get the evidence he wanted concerning the title of the Jecher concession in Mexico.
 The known assets of the com pany will not exceed $4O,000. It had no bank account since last October and was obliged to give up it's office at 66 Broadway, New York, last fall for non-payment of rent. Its offices in Philadelphia, Washington and other cities had been previously given up after the country for miles around had been flooded with prospectuses and pamphlets declaring the land an el dorado. The place where the company now has an office is in Providence, R. I.
 The compandy's known property in California consists of chattels worth $39,617, which was trans, ferred to Engineer c. R. Redwood without any consideration. In addition to this, Redwood, it is said, is still drawing $4OO a month for doing nothing; but the com pany owes him $1O.OO0, although he never did anything for 1t.
