affecting eyes, ears and throat and is, in
fact, the great enemy of the mucous mem
brane. Neglected colds in the head al
most Invariably precede cstarrh, causing
an excessive flow Of mucous, and if the
mucous discharge becomes interrupted
the dsagreeable results OF catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe pain
across the forehead and about the eyes, a
roaring and buZzing sound in the ears.
and oftentimes very offensive discharge,
Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged
cure for these troubles.

RIO oRANpE AND GULF.
Latter Preparing to Open the Alpine
Tunnel by juno Q.


Denver, May 17.-Unless matters
are fixed up between the Rio Grande
and the Gulf, 1t looks as II an inter-
minable warfare will be continued be-
tween the two companies at cOmpeti-
tive points, says tho Times. The Gulf
has been preparing TO open the Alpine
tunnel which has been closed for Ave
years, and will have traffic passing
through II by, June 8.
While the improvements have been
going on the Rio Grdnde has not been
asleep and has been planning to head
on the Gulf. The first break Is IN the
freight department and the rate on
coal from Baldwin to Leadville has
been reduced to 81 per ton. Other re-
auctions are likely to follow. but 1t
seems as II the Gulf can take freight
rs cheaply us the Rio Grande, for the
cost of operating the line is not 30
heavy.
superintendent Of the South Park re-
turned to Denver last night from the
Alpine tunnel, and reports that 100
men are employed In clearing the tun-
mel Of decomposed granite which has
sifted Into the bore ut one place, com.
pletely filling the space. At the point
mentioned the sand.like composition
has been sliding In for the past five
years, but elsewhere throughout the
1,770 feet there are no Instructions and
the tunnel Is perfectly dry.
Mr. Ralney thinks about ten days
will be required to clear the tunnel,
and 1t will be all ready for operation
by June 8. The company has made ar
engagements to put OIL n sleeper on the
night train, which will be detached ut
Como and be run to Gunnison and re-
turn.

TO the people Of the United States:
1t Is u matter of vital Importance In
carrying out the plan of action adopted
by the meeting Of the National Blmetal-
lie Union that In districts, towns. cities
and states the organization of bimetal-
lic unions be enetered upon at once.
The object Of these unions Is for thor
0ugh organization In the interest OF
the education Of voters Of the land up
on tho financial question, which Is the
burning question before the American
people to-day. The only hope for tho
success Of this struggle for the full res
toration OF silver to its place rs money
At ratio Of 10 to by the United
states, Ia In such an education Of the
people Us will cause majority OF the
VOTERS Of our country In November,

iieilJ regardless Of party lines.
THE formation Of these unions may
DO entered upon ut once, and we sug-
gest that each union adopt the name Of
the district, town or state In which they
are organized, and that the secretary Of
each uiiion address a letter to Il. b.

Further Recommendations will be
made by the secretary ut the time the
constitution and bylaws are forwarded.
The money so raised is required for the
purchase and circulation Of bimetnlllc
literature. furnishing honest and upan-
swerable arguments for full and indie
pendent bimetallisni. believing that
this Is the only way TO restore permit
nent prosperity to our beloved land.
This is struggle between the money
