WASHINGTON. Nov. IL. 1897.

WASHINGTON. Nov. IL: 1897.
President Mckinley is devoting as
much of his time as possible to the
preparation of his message to con-
gress, but, owing to the number of
prominent callers he has this week,
hasn't done much. In addition to
the numerous senators and represent
atives who called at the White House
within the last few days, the party of
Canadian officials, headed by Sir
Wilfred Laurier, Premier of Canada,
which are in Washington as interest
ed spectators at the sealing confer
ence now going on between experts
representing the United States, Can.
ada and Great Britain, and for the
purpose Of generally improving the
relations existing between this coun-
try and Canada, if they can, were
presented to the president. by Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador. While the visit was purely
one of courtesy, both Sir Wilfred
Laurier and President Mckinley took
occasion to express their wishes, that
all matters causing friction between
us and our Canadian neighbors
might be adjusted to the mutual sat
isfaction and benefit Of both.
The presidents callers have includ-

should the outside of the body be
perfectly clean, but the interior of
the body as WE'LL Clean teeth, clean
mouth, clean throat, clean nasal pas
sages, are all requisites of perfect
health. The whole body, as we'll as
every organ in the body, is lined with
mucous membrane, which is even
more liable than tbs skin to become
very dirty. The most frequent cause
of unclean mucous membrane is ca
tarrh. Catarrh creates unnatural Sc
cret:ons, even though the catarrh be
very slight. In this condition good
health is impossible.
DR.. Hartman has made specially
of treating chronic catarrh for near

the United States and Canada. It is
certainly the hest, and proba bly, the
only effective internal remedy for
chronic catarrh. Its cures are per-

or of many books on chronic catarrh.

BURGERS were discovered trying to

night watch. As. they escaped
through the window, shots were ex-

E. G. Pannell has sold the ground
where his old ice houses stood to j.
J. Bingham, and has torn the houses
down. He will erect two new ones
60x90 feet, near West Okabena lake
and the railroad track on End avenue.
He also contemplates building or
buying an ice house at Sibley, and
will opsn business there next spring,
shipping the ice from here. II he
does not have building there he
will ship from here during the sum
mer to supply the trade.
Some of the firemen have inquired
why the whistle at the power house
did not blow when the last two
alarms were turned in. Supt. Garrett
son informs us that at the time of the
false alarm, the lightning did not
cause the current to work strong
enough, and that of last week, the
door Of the box at Ramage's corner
could not be opened, the lock MT
working, and some paint had got in
the connections in the instrument at
the hose house, so the bell at the
power house was not rung. The sys.
tenn was tested when completed and
found alright. Supt. Garretson has
again put them in working condition
and soon as possible will make an i'm.
provement in the plan now used tc
open the boxes to turn in an alarm.
@. j. Smallwood is securing sign

put the system in this year, as il
would be uphill work to do so whe1
the frost is in the ground. By tn,
way the people are contracting TO-
instruments they evidently desire t
have telephone. There is no rea
son why Worthington cannot hav
all the modern improvements as vel

find the telephone a very convenien
arrangement in many ways, and w
hope the venture will be carriet
through to completion.

Something to Know.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters
This medicine is purely vegetable, acts
by giving tone to the nerve centers in
the stomach, gently stimulates the
Liver and Kidneys, and aids these or.
gaus in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it as
the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for Soc or S1.OO
per bottle at Ray Humiston's Drug
Store.

few men calling themselves republic
