Ex-Mayor Swartz's Novel Election
Wager Indefinitely Postponed.

Ex-MayOr Swarfz's Novel Election
Wager indefinitely Postponed.
Sioux City, Ia, Nov. 16.-Just before
election eX-Mayor Swartz agreed to
wrestle Al Hirbour's cinnamon bear in
the event of Bryan's defeat. If the
boy orator CHANGED to be elected he
was to receive two silver dollars. When
McKinley's election was assured the
old gentleman's friends FASTENED to re-
mind him of his promise. Swartz said
he remembered, but that he wanted
two weeks to get himself in training.
The winner agreed, and began selling
reserved seats for the exhibition. He
forgot, however, what his opponent had
we'll in mind when he bargained for
time-bruin's habit of spending his
winters in a comatose condition-and
while the excitement was at its height
the unaccommodating brute retired for
his three months nap. Mayor SwartZ
is wreathed in smiles. and the whole
affair is off till spring.

Cat.rrh Means Danger.

Because if unchecked it may lead d.
rectly to consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. This fact is
fully established. Therefore, it is use
less to try TO cure catarrh by outward
applications or :nhalants. I he true
way To cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great
blood purifier, cures catarrh by its
power to drive out all impurities from
the blood. Thousands of people testify
that they have been perfectly and
permanently cured of catarrh by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
