The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency to develop
into some other more serious and dan
gerous disease. The foul matter drop
ping from the head into the bronchial
tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to
bronchial or consumption, that des-
troyer which causes more deaths in
this country than any other disease
AS catarrh originates in impurities in
the blood, local applications can do but
little good. The common sense
method of treatmant is to purify the
blood and for this purpose there is nc
preparation superior to Hoods Sarsa-
parllla. The powerful action of this
medicine upon the blood expels every
impurisy, and by so doing cures catarrh
and gives health to the entire Or
oanism.

mention of the Hodges Bros. hav-
ing killed steer weighing 500
pounds. We would like to call
the attention of our contemp orary
to the fact that it is nothing un-
usual to look across the street and
see hanging in front of the City
Meat Market steers weighing 800
pounds or more. AS we were pas
sing this first-class meat market,
few days ago we saw
hanging on the pegs three
beauties. One was a 4 months old
calf and weighed some 200 pounds;
fine II months wether hung
on one side weighing 60 pounds
and on the other a 6 months hog,
which balanced the scales at the
300 pound noch.

DISCOVERY
Cures Ninefy.eighf per cent. Of al

Although By many believed to be ineura-

living witnesses TO the fact that, In all its
earlier stages consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per.
ee,,Eage of cases, and we believe, fuLly 90
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular t1atter), great loss OF desh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases

and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-

a trial of Golden Medical Discovery" u
but who have been forced to confess that
1t surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal rnalady. all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to 0ene-
6t, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt wh1skey,
and various PREPARATIONS of the hypophos-

There is no feature of q country that at

prietors of this hotel, has excellent

Some so miles east of. this city
and two miles south of the Mo-
hawk section house on the s. P.
railroad can be seen a large force
of men at work.
This is the mining camp of Prof.
Rowland of San Francisco. 1t will
be remembered that last summer
the Professor located in that Sec
ton several miles of placer country
and did considerable work on one
of his many claims. Hot weather
came on and work was stopped
until cool weather set in, Prof.
Rowland went to San Francisco,
and it is said that during his stay
there he organized a stock COM
pany to prospect for the ancient
Colorado river bed. At any rate
the Professor went through here a
few weeks ago and there followed
him shortly several carloads Of
machinery and lumber.
The Professor claims that In
the prehistoric age the Colorado
river run where he is now at work.
He says that with the assistance Of
his diviuing-rod he has traced the
Colorado river bed of ancient time:
from its fountain head in Utah tc
the Gulf of California.
Near the ranch of Gee. w. Nor
ton in the Mohawk valley is where
it crosses the ella river, and from
that point the old channel takes
southerly course until it reaches
the gulf.
At the place where the PROBES
sor has his men now at work h

wealth. He has a large numbe
of men at work night and da.

shafts. They are working in shift
of eight hours. Get good wage
and their money when earned.
1t is the prophesy of the Profes
sor that when the bedrock of tn
ancient Colorado river is reached

Let US hope that the prophesy ma.
come TRUE.
