Inauguration Business.

Inauguration business of the B. &

was four years ago, and the same
holds true for the other railroads
From all that can be ascertained the
B. & O. hauled more people into
Washington than any other railroad
entering that city, and General
Passenger Agent Scull has figured
that 81 900 tickets were sold. OF
this number fully IS, 600 were sold in
Baltimore on the morning of March 4

transportation, reports that COM
menciug on the morning of March L
and ending at $50 p. N. March 4,
exclusive, the B. & O. ran into
Washington 1874 scheduled trains
with 1913 extra cars. and 1903 special
trains with III cars. The number
of trains leaving Washington was
practically the same and it is suppos-
ed that fully 10000 of the people who
went III came out before March g.
making the total handling of about
Ga, 900 people for the Inauguration
Most Of this travel was from the East
and a very small proportion from
points West OF the Ohio River, it
being quite evident that the high rate
OF fare deferred many from coming,
and the short limit on the tickets also
seriously affected business.

Spring CatarrI,.

Again spring is here. The long,
cold winter with its buster and chill
has passed, and has left in its train
innumerable victims of chronic ca
tarrh. They have taken a great many
remedies during the winter with per-
haps temporary relief, but fresh cold
has brought on the old symptoms,
and, heartsick and weary of trying,
they have concluded that there can
be no relief for them. This is a great
mistake; and now is the time to rec
tify it.
The spring time is the most favor
able time Of the year to treat catarrh.
There is so much less liability to take
fresh cold that the treatment is unim-
peded. All old cases of chronic ca
tarrh should begin Immediately
course Of Pe-ru-na as directed in DR..
Hartman's books on this disease.
There are so many different phases
and stages of catarrh that one hardly
knows when he has it. A great many
people think they are suffering from
something else and haye tried many
medicines in vain, when If they could
realize that it is catarrh and take Pc
ru-na tor it they would improve
promptly and soon recover entirely.

tarrh should Send for a free copy of

Wool and the DingIey Tariff.

No kind of farm stock increases so
slowly as sheep. In the cold climates,
to which sheep are best adapted, they
can be bred only once a year. The
breeding period of the eve does not
extend more than four or FIVE years.
IL half the lambs are males it leaves,
on the average. two ewes to be bred
from to replace the eve that has
grown too old for further service
Ever since the tariff on wool was TAX
en- off by the Wilson law there has
been everywhere great reduction of
sheep 1t made wool cheaper than
ever before Now the turn has come
which we have been sure must re-
turn. We are soon to have a tariff
giving wool producers the protection
long denied to them But it must
take several years before sheep stocks
can be bred to supply the American
demand for wool The new tariff will
insure living prices for wool while
this is being done. This means a
long continuance of prosperity for
sheep growers.
