Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the mu-
cous surfaces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from
reputable physicians, as the damage they
will do is ten fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Halls Ca

of Tewfik Pasha in submitting series

The strike came unheralded by any form

quarries. The trouble was settled and

NEVER in the history of the Pacific
coast has there been such demand for
charters for steam vessels of moderate
size as the present Klondike excitement
has created. The lumber companies,
who are the principal owners of suitable
ocean going steamers, have been be-
seiged with applications by individuals
and organizations, who want their ves-
sells for expeditions of one kind or an
other to the Yunkon region. In some
cases the offers have been tempting
enough to induce them to take some of
their vessels out Of the regular service.

WHILE the Klondike excitement in
Seattle is declining little, the rush OF
the gold hunters to Seattle from the
east is greater now than at any time
since the first authentic news concern
ing the fabulous riches of the diggings

about three weeks ago. Meanwhile
Seattle has contributed to Klondike at
the very lowest estimate 1000 of her
citizens. That number has gone since
the summer exodus began, to say moth

who left for the new camp early in the
spring, besides, perhaps, half as many
who located there just after the discov-
cry year ago.

LEGAL proceedings to recover Univer-
sity of Illinois bonds and securities will
soon be instituted against several Chi.
cago banks by Attorney General Akin.
The bonds and securities were pledged
by Charles W. Spalding, former treas
urer of the university, as collateral for
loans made by the First national, North
western national, Metropolitan national
and Illinois Trust and Savings banks
The board also decided that any bonds
issuing or accruing hereafter must be
deposited with the state treasurer, who
will be the custodian of all funds of the
university. Nearly 100000 in bonds of
the university are missing, and this
amount the state made good to the fed.
eral government by an appropriation.
The bonds were those of the university
endowment fund. and are declared by
law to be non-negotiable.
