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 known TO the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving the
potent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. b proprietors have SO much faith
in its curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Il 10 admitted that there r great
difficulties in the way bf tho erection OF
a tariff commission, as proposed by
Congressman Fowler. OF New Jersey,
the other day, in his house bill.
The most Troublesome feature Is the
danger that any commission that could
be seleclcd would be as liable to those
influences which arc apparent in the
conclusions OF the house and senate
committees As the latter bodies are
charged with being at this time, though
II shouid be added that such charge Is
logged mainly against the senate COM
mittce. II the. commission be made
permanent, it is admitted that 1t would
naturally be non partisan, "permanent"
being interpreted to mean for life. II
the members be appointed, say for q
term of four years, like The members
Of the interstate commerce commis-
sion, it is thought to be inevitable that
persons would secure entrance to the
BODY through the Vaccinations OF the
very influences against which 1t Is now
most difficult to contend. Those who
hAye given most thought to the matter
have concluded that the commission
should be permanent, vacancies posi-
Bile Of occurrence only through resigna-
lion, removal for cause, or death, and
that the personnel should be composed
OF men above the suspicion Of being
actuated by any motive except a desire
to do the very best for the greatest
number.

a NeM hesluu Esuapnde.

From the Denver Republican.
Arizona has u sensation IN the escape
of Parker, the train robber, who was
confined in jail at Prescott for robbir (
a train on the Atlantic & Pacific last
year. Ills escape resembles somewhat
that Of Billy the Kid from the Lincoln
county, New Mexico, Jail about sixteen
years ago, except that in the case OF
the latter several men were killed,
whereas it seems that only one was
shot in the Prescott Jail. II will be
fortunate If the sheriff and his posse
capture Parker, for II he should escape
entirely in this instance,he would enter
upon a career Of crime that might moi
end for several years.

Mr.. James Rowland, of this village. states
that for twenty five years his wife has
been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few
nights age she was in such pain that she

prove Of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first,
but nevertheless applied the Balm thor
