The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Halls catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.

Value of Newspaper Advertising.
rom profltobla Adyarticinu

from Profitable Advertising.
The newspaper in its capacity as an
advertising agent is of the first impor-
tance to any civilized society, inasmuch
as it brings together those who have
something to buy and those who have
something to sell. The general news
and comment and all the other ma
chinery Of communicating information
to the public, really are not of more im-
portance to the community at large than
the power of communication by adver-
tisement.
1t is not too much to say that the de-
velopment of modern civilization has
been assisted by no agent 80 powerful as
the newspaper, and the progress of all
trade, enterprise and invention has
been accelerated by no means more effec-
tual than newspaper advertising.
The advertisement brings together the
seller and buyer, the supply and the
demand, as in former times and to a
comparatively limited extent they were
brought by fair and market days. By
their means of communication it has
helped to reduce prices, to stimulate the
competition and emulation from which
comes improvement in production, and
to multiply the demand for the materials
and appliances which contribute to the
advancement of civilization.
The sign of the merchant is no longer
confined to his immediate place of busi-
ness. He puts it in newspaper for
men to see. Information requisite for
everybody is obtainable by the great
mass of the public from the advertis-
ment only. Only by means of the ad-
vertisements can they both supply and
make generally known private wants
upon which their welfare depends.
They serve as labor exchange, a direc-
tory, bulletin, a price-lst, and means
of obtaining distinction otherwise i'm
possible for traders and producers.
The benefit that comes to great
newspaper from its advertising is infini-
tesimal compared with that received by
the advertisers themselves and the pub
lie. The opportunity to purchase the
publicity it affords is one of the most
important conferred on society, by the
growth and development OF the news
paper. Whatever tends to increase cir
culation and to deepen the respect and
confidence in newspaper, insures
directly to the advantage Of the adver-
tiser.
Practically every department of trade
in all the large cities of the United
States which has grown togreat activity
has been fostered, first of all by adver-
tising. Merchants not many years ago
unknown beyond narrow neighbor-
hood, have by this means pushed their
names and their business into distinc.
tion which extends through great
extent of country. Little shops with a
petty trade have developed rapidly into
great bazaars under the potent stimulus
of advertising. New methods of busi-
ness, which have Injured to the public
profit, have been made possible by its
means. AS the dealers market has
been thus extended, he has been able tc
reduce prices and yet make far larger
gain because of vastly increased sales.

matadore was mounted on bicycle,
The animal made a dash at him, the
matadore failed to turn quickly enough,

A Good Year for Graham.

With big-headed articles the Philadel-
phia newspapers last Thursday herald
ed the temperance in that city of
District Attorney Graham. The space
they devoted to an account of his trip
makes one wonder why they never re-
ferred to his departure or his absence.
They said he came back from an sex
tended vacation" which had been taken
for the benefit OF his health. 1t is GUS
tomary in Philadelphia and other towns
for newspapers to make note OF the fail
ing of the health of any high official, to
tell the people where he has gone and
to inform them occasionally of his con-
dton. Graham was not treated in this
manner by the press of his city, but we
do not think he will mind the slight put
upon him.
Fortunately for Graham this is a
presidential year. Otherwise his COM
ing back might have been delayed in
definitely. His friends, however, want
ed no more sensations until after cleo
ton day, and, bitter as the dose was,
they Clipped in enough to square things
up and sent the good news out to Brit
ish Columbia, hitherto unknown health
resort.
The members OF the Order OF the Iron
Hall, along with several hundred others,
were real glad to learn that Graham
came back

Gaining In Practical Results.

From the Wilkcsbarre Leader.
When Mckinley was nominated at st.
Louis last June there was scarcely a
Republican in the United States that
did not feel absolutely certain of sue
cess, and a large portion if not an ac-
tual majority of the Democrats, con-
ceded his election. When Bryan was
nominated at Chicago about three weeks
later the Democrats of the west and
south were just as confident that he
would sweep the country, that is carry
those sections by a large majority and
secure the electoral college.
As the days 20 by both parties have
greatly changed their views and it may
now be set down as a positive fact that
the coming struggle will be one of the
most hotly contested in the annals of
our country. As part of the cam
paign both parties will make extrava-
CANT claims, but the long-headed lead
ers know that no human being can now
foretell the result
As the campaign has progressed it
has been noticed that the defections
from the Democratic ranks are more
noticeable for the prominence of the
bolters than the greatness of the num-
bers. In the Republican party the
opposite is true. As every man, no
matter how great his ability or high
his standing, casts but single vote
accossions of votes are more to be de-
sired than prominence in the convert
So far as practical results are concern
ed the Democrats are gaining.
