There is more Catarrh In this section of the

local treatment, pronounced it incurthls.. Sci

Catarrh OF the stomach has long

accompanied sometimes with sour or

lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite nervousness and
general played out languid feeling.
There Is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in

The cure for this common and OBJ

HoodoOlng Scales.

Of all Gods cattle, roaming at
large on the face of the earth, the
backcapper is the worst, says the
Mining World. He wages war against
the prosperity Of the community in
which he lives and performs the dog
In the manger act whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself. He is found
more or less in all vocations, but the
field in which he delights to revel-.
IN which he can kick his heels the
highest and snort the loudest- is the
mining industry. Here his diversi-
fled talents for Islander AND misrepre-
sentation find ample scope. Know
ing that capital is timid; especially
when seeking investments on a large
scale, as is usually the case in mining
deals, he recognizes his opportunity
to gloat. He oils up his hoodoo, sees
that every part OF its delicate machin-
| cry is in perfect order, and theu gets
focus on the would-be purchaser.
Usually he brings down his game, and
with large invoice OF satisfaction in
stock, proceeds to HINT for another
victim. HIS most glittering triunphs
are registered when the sale of min
ing property is almost consummated,
and when Interpolation is as sensitive
to SANDER as the good name of pure
woman. 1t is then that he approach
es the buyer with the statement that
he hopes the seller will do well in
letting go OF the property, for he
could do nothing with it himself, on
account OF reasons known oily to
those on the inside. With language
OF this type, covert in9inuations that
may mean little or much, he frightens
capita1 into indefinite delay and final
lily perhaps succeeds in preventing
the deal, thus a loss is inflicted up
on the seller who lacks the money to
work the property-upon the buyer
who misses the opportunity OF life
time to quadruple his wealth and
upon the community that loses the
industrial value Of a producing mine.
The backcapper, is actuated by
one OF two motives-the hope that he
can defect capital from it's ayowed
purpose into channels more profit
able to himself or to infiict injury
upon the would-be seller. The first
move he tries to justify on business
grounds; the second he never &C.
knowledges: Human experience has
shown over and over again that no
man ever added substantial prop to
his own business interests by pulling

sSUITS AGAINST PORT ANGELES.
Grade Warrant Holders Seek to Re-

PROSPECTS of Success.

PORT ANGELES, WASH, Oct. 10
Ten suits have been instituted against this
city, based upon grade warrants issued
upon First and Front street funds in the
years 1890 and 1891. The suits are to re-
cover jud yment against the city for the
amount of the warrants, aggregating in
the neig hborhood of S25 600.
The warrant-hoIders claim that the city
has rendered itself liable by its failure to
collect funds from the abutting property
on said streets for payment OF the war
rants, and, further. that the city has, by
ordinance and other acts, thrown all these
street-grade warrants into the general
fund of the city, and released The prop
