LITTLE BUSINESS TRANSACTED
The Board of Trade ,rleeting Monday
forming Was Brief.

AS President Shoemaker had gone
to Buffalo on the G.. A. r. excursion,
the meeting of the board of trade was
presided over by Vice President FAIR.
There was little business before the
board.
John Klein said that Mr.. Kelly
would place no price on his lots at the
corner of Second and Walnut street S
for sale for market purposes, and
would continue to plant the ground
to potatoes. Mr.. Klein said that he
intended to 60 to Milwaukee in a
week, and would ascertain the cost of
the market building there.
Secretary Chapman suggested the
name of H. E. Hance to fill the va
cancy in the board of trustees, and
Mr. Hance was elected.
J. G. Noe reported for o. O..
Pitcher, chairman of the committee
on legislation, that Mayor Pfau pro-
nounces the present pedlers' licens e
ordinance as enforceable, and that if
anyone wants it enforced it can be.
The matter was talked over, and
the opinion was generally expressed
that by trading with our own mer-
chants the people will not be victim
lied, as is frequently the case where
they trade with peddlers. Several
instances of the latter were cited.
The fact tnat wheat has reached
the dollar point and that much bet
ter feeling exists all over the country
was noticed by members of the board.
On motion of M. b. Haynes, the
board rendered it's thanks to Presi-
dent Shoemaker for the large por-
trait of himself which he had pre-
sented to the board and hung upon
the wall beside the portraits Of other
presidents.
No other business occurring, the
board adjourned.

There is more Catarrh in this section
ofthe country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed incurabIe. For a
great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutiOnal cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address,

THAYER BOUND OVER.
His Accuser Leaves the Witness
Stand i'm a Passion.

The preliminary hearing in the case
of Harvey Thayer, the aged Garden
City resident who was arrested on tn
charge of taking indecent liberties
with young girl living in his family
named Mary Cormeens, took place at
Garden City Saturday, before Justice
Garrett Murphy. County Attorney
Hughes appeared for the state, and
A. R. Pau for the defendant.
Miss Cromeens testified to indie
cent liberties far beyond those alleg-
in the complaint, which she claim ed
Mr.. Thayer had taken with her. She
proved to be poor witness, and re :
fused to answer questions on cross
examination. At one point she left
the room, declaring that she did no.
have to testify. The Justice sent a
constable for her, who forced her to
return despite her wilful conduct.
Rev. Jenkins and Elder Waite
were the states other two witnesses,
and they testified to admissions
which they said Mr.. Thayer had
made to them of certain indecent
liberties taken by him with the girl.
Had it not been for this evidence, the
county attorney would have moved
to dismiss the case.
The defense put on no evidence,
and Mr.. Thayer was bound over to
the grand jury, and furnished the
necessary $500 bail, with his father-in
law, Mr.. Fleming, and Mr.. Travers
as sureties.

the generous treatment secured at
his hands,
