THE BLOOMER ARRIVES.

The bicycle bloomer has arrived in
Mankato at last, and during the past
few days two young ladies, one a
young married lady and the other not.
have appeared on the streets costum-
ed in them. They-the boomers
are of neat pattern and simple style
and evidently give the riders a much
easier task while on the wheel. 1t
takes good deal of determination
to introduce such a novelty as this in
any city, and the pluck OF the young
ladies is worthy of admiration. All
sorts of criticisms have been indulg-
ed in by the spectators. Occasionally
some one is shocked, but as a general
rule, and especially among bicycle
riders, the innovation is welcomed
as the coming costume for ladies
awheel. We expect soon to see
boomers a common thing on our
streets, and familiarity will soon re-
concile the most prejudiced to them.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat OF the disease Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
uuack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed OF the
best tones known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testi-
