The reader 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 a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature In doing its work. The
pr0prietOrs have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that 1t fails to cure.

Surely this Is not too much to ask of q
government which has at heart the best
good OF the people, or to expect with the
help of God, If worked for. For this cause
women haye come forth from their former
seclusion to work for God. for home, and
native land; and are asking that they be
recognized as citizens and part of the peo-
pie, that they may work more effectually to
help Stay the giant, which is defying Israel's
God, and is working all manner of evil in
the land.
Had the brother written direct to the grand
old man of Name as many have, and given
his answers, think we would not have had
so gloomy view given us of prohibition in
Maine. w. @. T. u. women have been
kept posted through their national organ,
the Union Signal, with the workings of pro-
hibition in that state by Its w. G. T., u.
presidents, and Neal Dow has occasionally
contributed to the paper. His description
of Maine as it was In the old rum days, as
he called them, corresponds we'll with Mr..
Wards. He has said it was the poorest
state in the Union. but now it is one of the
most prosperous. OF course it is not per-
feet prohibition. This cannot be expected
where large quantities of rum are seized in
Portland and poured into the gutter. Miss
Willard and Lady Henry Somerset. Great
Britain's w. G. Il. u. president, witnessed
such a scene in Portland few years ago.
Neal Dow has said the prohibitory law is
violated in some localities, but no liquor is
sold under license.

WHAT THEY SAY OF IT IN EATON CO.
From Eaton Rapids Herald, Women's Edition:
1t has been strongly contended by many
who are opposed to local option law, that
large amount of trade has been diverted
from the cities and villages in Eaton county
by the local option law; that more liquor is
being sold under the local option law than
there was prior to its enactment. The rea-
son given for the trade being transferred to
other points where liquor is sold, is that
persons who would otherwise come here to
trade, go elsewhere because they can buy
liquor at Onondaga, Springport, Lansing,
Leslie and Mason. Will this logic bear in
vestigation? IL more liquor is sold here
than before the local option law, why should
any person 20 elsewhere for what they can
as easily purchase here? Figure this out.
The representative of beer brewery in
Toledo stated in Eaton Rapids some time
since, that during the last year his trade IN
beer had fallen off $4,000. 1t is said that
his firm sells good beer, but is not the
only one that has been selling beer In Eaton
county. 1t is said that beer costs the re-
taller only one cent per glass, but 1t costs
the consumer five cents. Now, allowing
that the beer costs the retailer two cents
glass, on this fifteen thousand dollars worth
of beer sold in this county, the beer drink
ers would pay to Eaton county saloonists
$4,000. When we consider that this
money is only small part of the money
saved i'm the entire county and only repre-
seDts the business of one brewery, 1t should
take no further argument to convince the
people that local option is good thing.
Think how many cords Of wood, barrels of
flour and stockings full of Christmas
presents this S37,50O would buy for the
poor of our county. We should understand
in dealing with this question, that there are
many well disposed persons who have not
the strength of character to resist the Sc
ductive influences of the open saloon. Can
we afford to help them, and humanity in
general, by doing what we can to abolish
the open saloon?
From Charlotte Tribune:
We feel that 1t Is but Just 10 as honest
and fearless a corps of officers as ever
graced such positions to summarize some
what the work Of the term Of our circuit
court just closed. Never before In the his
tory of our county has anything like the
same amount of criminal cases been dis
posed of In short term of three weeks
Just think of it-no less than fifty such
cases have gone through the hopper with
such percentage of conviction as to strike
a chill to the hearts of all who would defy
the laws in Eaton county. Such a cleaning
up will never again be made necessary so
long as our citizens choose officers who re-
gard the rights of the people and their own
oaths of Office, and the time must speedily
follow such records as that of this term
when but very little time will be taken and
expense made because Of criminal matters.

Local Option in Eaton County.
lular issued by COunty Committee.

Circular issued by County Committee.
Eaton county has had three several rela.
tions to the liquor traffic: 1, under licenses
2, under local option not enforced; 3, under
local option enforced. Under local option
not enforced affairs were but little different
from license; in some cases better and In
some cases worse, depending largely on the
community. Yet after two years of non
enforcement when it was submitted again II
carried by nearly five hundred more than
the first time. After this the county officers
were elected on this issue, who set about en-
forcing the law, backed up by stalwart
board of supervisors. and today the law is
an unqualified success in that county. In
confirmation of the above assertion we APP
pend the following given Rev. w. M. Ward,
of Corunna, by Frank N. Green, Esq,

A Champion Flyer.

Conductor Ed, Scott Of the Southern
Pacific, is quite pigeon and chicken
fancier. Among the pigeons in his pos
session until recently was a handsome
red checker, homer, who had only been
trained to fly, as carrier pigeon, about
l43 miles. On the afternoon Of the 18th
some boys were tormenting the bird
with sling shots, and the next day the
bird was missing. Yesterday Mr.. Scott
received letter from Mr.. o. L. Zahn,
Of Los Angeles, from whom he obtained
the bird, saying that it appeared at his
cote on the 18th and asking PERMISSION
to retain the pigeon until after the
poultry show, which takes place 10 Los
Angeles from January q to February l,
where he wishes to exhibit him as a
prize bird. The pigeon is one year and
thirty five days old and was for time
used as message bearer between Cata
lima island and Los Angeles. The idea
of it covering over 500 miles in a day
had never occurred to any one as posi-
BILE. Mr.. Scott now prizes the bro very
highly and when he receives it. again is
going to try and train it to fly from FL
Paso to Los Angeles, over 800 miles.

THE BLOND BRAKEMAN'SSTORY
It May be Read With Profit by the
RECORD Beakers Of the Present
Day.

The Railroad club at West Albany
me: Tuesday evening at the usual place
and after short business session the
boys drifted into ''shop" conversation.
The recent fast run Of the Empire State
express was commented on, end the talk
of fast runs became general. Several
stories of remarkable time made on
different occasions we're related, and
when the blond brakeman, who came on
mere from the west, got the floor he saw
he was expected to break the record.
And be did. "Speaking of fast runs"
said he, "why that little Montana Union
line lays over anythiug / ever saw. No
Dutch clocks or anything else hold q
man down there. | worked for that
road when Bob Smith was dispatcher,
ard when be told the boys to wheel 'em'
we all knew what it meant. One day we
were going north and were delayed 10
various ways until We reached Stewart.
Bob wired the con. at that point tn
he wanted our train to get to GarrIs on
just as quick as God would let US. We
had a clear track when We started, and
it wasn't long before the telegraph poles
looked like picket fence. The biggest
burst of speed was reserved for the
home stretch-from Deer Lodge to Gar
rison, eleven miles We didn: stop at
Deer Lodge, but as We approached that
place the engineer sounded the whistle
as usual-and you may take my head
for football if the Slow sign in the
Garrison ysrds wasn't passed by our
train before that whistle had ceased to
sound"
This made the boys look weary, but
the "braky" hadn't finished yet. He
continued:
"Well, we put our train away and
were resting ourselves. when we glanced
up the the track and saw dark streak
approaching at a lightning gait, We
were astounded for an instant, but az it
slowed I'D we readily recognized it as
the shadow of the train we had just
brought in"
And the boys all rose up, and after
presenting the relator with a regularly
signed license the club adjourned.-Al-
