accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. Lows
usually first appear the Washington coast.
When the pressure is high in the interior and low
along .he coast, and the isobars extend north and

falling to the California coast, warmer weather may
be expected in summer and colder weather in WIN

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cue
in all its changes, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting di
rectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietOrs have so much faith in its cura.
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure

Popular Circus.

Wherever the New Great Syndicate Shows
and Paris Hippodrome has exhibited this year,
has drawn crowded tents, thus proving that
the new organization has secured the public's
fullest approval. The new organization is
composed of the very best and most widely
experienced show men of both Europe and
America and is under the capable direction
of Mr.. J. n. Rentfrow, a manager of extensive
experience and pre-eminent ability. As per
press notices Of all cities where it has exhibit
ed. the show is one of the best that travels and
has firmly established its reputation to present
one of the very best and cleanest entertain
ments. The Circus is given simultaneously in
three rings and on two celebrated stages
The hippo1rome track is quarter of mile
around, which encircles the rings, is used for
the races and olympian sports.
The Menagerie department is very fine, en-
bracing large and costly variety of Wild
beasts. One of its most interesting features IS
a flock of huge African ostriches, which the
management purchased and imported after a
costly outlay. The Great Syndicate Show is
the only circus exhibiting such feature.

lu recent letter 10 the manufacturers,
Mr.. W. + Beuiamin, edito. of the Specta-
tor. Rushfori, \. Y, says; 1T may be a
pleasure to you to know the high esteem in
which Chamberlain's medicines are held by
the people of your own state, where they
must be best known. An aunt of mine,
who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to
visit me q few years since, aud before leav-
ing home wrote me, asking if they were sold
here, stating if they were not she would
bring a quantity with her, rs she did not
like 10 be without them" The medicines
referred 20 are Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edv. famous for its cures of colds aud Group;
Chamberlaiu's Pain Balm for rheumatism,
lame back, pains in the SIDE aud chest, and
Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and Diarr-
hua Remedy for bowel complaints. These
medicines have been in constant use in
Iowa for almost q quarter of century. The
people have learned that they are articles OF
worth and merit, and unequaled by any
other. They are for sale by Brown & HooR,
druggists. Charlest0wn, w. Va.
