A STRAIGHT COURSE
Pointed Out to Those Who Have
CataIrh IN Any Form.

Pointed Out to Those Who Have
Catarrh IN Any Form.
You have got chronic catarrh, have you?
You have had it some time? And could
not find cure? Well, there are thousands
more like you in this country. If the slight
est vestage of the catarrh remains over
during the hot weather it will begin to make
itself felt now. If you want to really get
cured this is the way to do 1t. Get bottle
of Pe-ru-na and take tablespoonful before
each meal and at bedtime. When you have
and write letter to DR. Hartman, Colum-
bus, Ohio. Tell him exactly your symp-
toms; how long you have had catarrh;
what effect the medicine has had on you.
He will answer your letter promptly, telling
you what to do further. He will make no
charges. And IL you will continue to write
to the Doctor, following faithfully the advice
he will give you, you are sure TO get cured.
Some cases takes longer than others. Per-
haps the average length of time it takes to
cure genuine case of catarrh Is three
months Some get cured much quicker
than this. Stubborn cases may require
longer treatment. Time or trouble ought
to be no barrier to one afflicted with this
dreadful disease.
All people who are interested in knowing
about catarrh can get an instructively illust-
rated 64.page book on chronic catarrh in all
stages and location, free of charge. The
book was written by DR.. Hartman and will
be sent for short time to any address by

existing laws are retained. 1t is ex-
pected that the subject will. as usual
occupy much of the legislatures time
and precipitate fight Of somewhat ex-
tensive proportions. No doubt an effort
will be made to prohibit spring duck
shooting, a provision which has thus
far been successfully combatted.
There is considerable speculation as
to what place the lobbyists will have
this session. Representative Edgar in
troduced a resolution calling for the
rigid enforcement of the rule excluding
all but certain officials from the floor of
the house, and the chances are that the
resolution. which is now in the hands
Of the committee on rules, will be re-
ported favorably and adopted. 1t Is

The agitation for better roads in Mich
igan resulted in the organization Of a
state good roads association in this city
a few months ago. Since its organiza-
tion very little has been heard from the
association, but a meeting will be held
here Friday for the purpose Of agreeing
upon legislation which will tend TO pro-
mote the construction of better roads in
Michigan. No regular programme for
the session has been prepared, but Hon.
William L. Webber of Saginaw, who
represented this state at the good roads
congress at Atlanta last year, will pre-
side. Mr.. Webber has devoted much
time and thought to this question which
he believes of paramount importance.

Government is all that could be desired.
There is no trouble with the gold reserve,

OF the loans and most of the rest are
making Partial payments.
Figures from several counties show that
where one mortgage has been recorded
five have been paid. Some OF the liquida-
ton has been enforced through foreclos-
ures, but this Is on city property which
was mortgaged in the days of imitation.
There bave been very few foreclosures
on farm lands.
1t is estimated that in 1897 the product
from the South Dakota farms, including
the live stock and creamery industries,
will aggregate $lOO,OOO,OO This, dis
tributed among $50, 900 people, is enough
to give comfortable living and, in addi-
ton, to make a great inroad on their in
debtedness.
st. Paul, Minn.-The mortgage and
loan business on farm lands in Minnesota
has fallen off more than so per cent dur
ing the last three years. principally in the
last year and half. OF all the loans that
were in existence in Minnesota on farm
ing lan'ls three years ago the various con-
Germs differ slightly on the percentage that
has been paid. The lowest estimate places
il at 10 per cent and the highest at % per
cent, while the average seems to be 10
10 ~ per cent. Inls IL nelu Dy the mOTt-
gage and loan concerns to be wonderful
showing, when it is taken into considera-
ton that vast amount of money was
loaned in Minnesota during the boom
times. 1t means that that much has been
paid back over and above what has been
borrowed. There have been practically
no foreclosures.
That the State has felt the pinch of
hard times was one of the great factors
that kept the farmers from going further
into debt. When the bottom fell out of
the boom the farmer was the first man to
take to The woods. He Immediately cut
his expenses and practiced the closest
economy. The farmer incurred no new
debts.
Although diversified farming has gone
great way toward relieving the Minnesota
farmer Of his debt, by far the greatest
factor has been the dairy interest. There
are hundreds OF creameries and half as
many cheese factories in Minnesota, and
the majority of them have been estab-
lished since 1892. The effect of the es
tablishment Of these creameries has been

The Popu,ist Revolt.

The Nashville Populist convention
seems to have performed the work laid
out for it with ncatness and dispatch.
Called together by Mr.. Thomas Il. Wat
son and other irreconcilables of the same
type. it reflected from first to last the
spirit % ultra Populism. The motto of
the con IGNITION was mo entangling alli-
ances." The 30 delegates who attended it
put themselves on record in the most
positive manner against all future deals,
compromises or agreements of fusion
with either of the old parties. These men
and the considerable number of Southern
and Western voters they represent pro-
pose to keep strictly in the middle Of the
Populist highway hereafter. Believing in
the sufiiciency of Populistic doctrines for
the cure of all the evils of the body poll
tic, they will follow no leaders and adopt
no platforms save their own.
The stand they have taken is most dis
tressing TO Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Jones OF
Arkansas. The conventions assertion
that Eve do not believe that the question,
of free silver is itself broad enough
platform for a national party" is espe
cially calculated to harrow the feelings
Of the late Popocratic candidate. For
without the issue OF free coinage, Bryan

MIR. Bryan's 2J-Cent Dollar.

Mr.. Bryan's speech, as reported in
Democratic paper, fills about half II col
umn. 1t is n calamity wall. people who
were afraid of soc dollar six months
ago" he said, would be glad to get 25c
dollar now" The speaker might have
added that his Popuist supporters would
be best pleased with nO-cent dollar, and
he voted for that himself when he gave
his ballot in 1892 to Weaver as presi-
Dental candidate. Mr.. Bryan read
newspaper clipping arguing that the de-
probation of farm lands in England is due
to the gold standard and the plotting of
money changers. But he made no refer
ence 10 the comfortable financial condi-
ton of England generally and its treasury
surplus, nor TO the fact that many British
farmers contend that free trade is the
source of their troubles. The Nebras-
kans assertion that this country is des-
perately sick seemed particularly grateful
to his audience. The remedy, in his Ian
guage, is to turn over the affairs of the
nation to one man and let him think and
act for u.s." While the name of the man
was not mentioned, it is easy to guess who
he is in the opinion of the orator.
The statement that the American people
would now be glad to get 25c dollar
shows the glibness of Mr.. Bryan's tongue
and the light caliber of his mind. Having
started out to cut the dollar in two, he is
ready to bisect it again, and would doubt
less drop the remainder without the
slightest ceremony. 1t is this fantastic
readiness to jump into any wildly radical
experiment that makes SIR. Bryan fav-
orite with every revolutionary element
in the country.-St. Louis Globe Demo

The truth is, our Southern States are
in good condition. All their products of

ness in lumber is growing at a rapid rate

almost electrical. 1t has been the prin-
cipal cause OF the large payments Of
mortga re loans. At the end of the month
the farmers get returns from the cream
cries. great many OF them. in fact al
most all the larger creameries, are CO.
operative concerns. owned entirely by the
farmers, who share the profits among
themselves. In this manner they have al
ways enough money to buy their groceries,
clothing and such necessary commodities
of life, while on the farm they produce
their own -four, vegetables and meats.
The result is that from the sale of their
wheat, oats, corn, pork and beef they
realize Il net profit, and it is this money
that has been used to pay off the mort
cages.
Little Rock, Ark.-Although the crops
in part of Arkansas were cut short by
drought last year. the people by economy
are getting out of debt. The people look
forward to an era OF railroad building in

expect good results. The State debt is
not large and will be considerably reduced
by the acts of the special session of the
Legislature. Gov. Jones thinks very little

Banking Board just issued contains much

vate banks at the close of business on

the close on Dec. 81, 1896. At present
there are 400 banks, as compared with
Ala on Dec. 81. During the interval %
banks have closed, 3 have reorganized and
8 new banks have opened. Under the
head of liabilities there is n general fall
ing off in the amounts, with a notable
exception in the item of deposits. which
shows an increase OF 81 .O0S, G2S.96. In
resources there is an increase of 81 ,221, :

and deposits. are regarded as especially
encouraging by business men.

Calamity HowIers Discouraged.

Testimony which comes from every cen
ter of finance, trade and commerce in the
country, is not calculated to afford much
encouragement to the professional calam-
ity bowler and the croaking Bryan fol-
lowers. They had hoped that the depres-
sion would continue until after the fall
elections. But the tide OF improvement
has set in and it will not be stayed at
the command of the demagogues who prey
upon adversely and hope to gain political
advantage from the miseries of the peo-
pie. With the dawning Of prosperity,
which is at hand, will come the last blow
to Organism and financial heresy and dis
honesty.-Wheeling Intelligencer.

Will silence the Croaker.

Like the rising tide it will not fiji all
the little hooks and channels mt once; and
SO, many may feel skeptical about it. But
this will make no special difference with
the fact except 10 retard it. The more
hope and confidence the quicker and more
complete the revival. 1t will not be long
before this confidence will be general.
Business will be brisker. Merchants will
feel 1t and begin TO solicit trade and to
advertise as Of yore. Traffic and travel
will increase. More and more, manufac-
turers will increase their purchases and
products. Building and real estate will
show signs Of it. Once Congress ad-
journs with the tariff settled in favor Of
American industry, and American indus
try will as certainly take advantage Of it

An inyincible and positive proof that
local affairs are becoming more encourag-

seeing the dawn of better times, is fur
nished in the following figures, given out
by Mr.. EVAN, the recorder OF this county:
Since Jan. l last the number of mort
cages filed for record in this county is 1855,
while the number released is 279, so that
to-day there are 113 fewer mortgages on
Williams County land than there were on
Jan. ], 1897. The record by months is
as follows:
