One of the most encouraging features

Rs its permanently. Of all diseases, it is
vwell known that those of the blood are
9a1e most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
Muufession, in fact, have virtually adj
united that real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
Of course, their admission is not made
IA so many words, but actions speak
Boulder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercuria1 mixtures, al
aEsough taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
Ehe patient to feel that he is being cured;

with stiff Joints, pain in the bones, etc.,

pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm

blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from

eearing down the health. No loss of

A Better Consular Service.

| Just what changes are needed to
convert the present consular service in
to National agency of true vigor and
Importance may be partly open to
question. Certainly the most essential
are summarized in an address recently
delivered by Oscar S. Straus, formerly
United States Minister of Turkey, before
the Board of Trade and Transportation.
Mr.. Straus, both as a merchant and as
a diplomat, has had excellent oppor-
tunities to study the defects of the eX-
listing con sularsystem; and in his view
these four elements must be introduced
into the administration of the service
before it can attain a credltable eff
icency: Appointment after test of fit
ness, tenure of office during good be-
havior, promotion, and rational ad-
justment of the compensations allowed
in the different consular grades. Re-
forms like these would undoubtedly
build up in time a trained, intelligent
and highly serviceabe consular corps;
and though some clamor would doubt
less be raised IN Congress about the
establishment of permanent tenure of
office, the commons sense of the country
stand ready to indorse any reasonable
scheme which will relieve the consular
administration from the odium which
it has SO long borne. No branch of
the Federal Civil Service has suffered
more form Congressional and Executive
neglect, and it is to be hoped that it's
long DELAYED chance to share inthe gen
eral advance toward higher admin
istrative standards will soon come

Depew on a Great Railroad.

"Talking about great railroads, "
said Chauncey Depew, :" the Chicago
& North Western with its 5000 miles
of track is about the liveliest railroad
on this continent.
The North Western trains run to
st. Paul, and, in fact, over the Union
Pacific to California. 1t is the only
road that you can ride fifty miles an
hour on from Chicago to Ogden and
Portland, Oregon, without changing
cars.
Where else does the North West
run to?"I asked.
"Why everywhere. tits an all-over.
creation railroad. 1t spreads out like
great fan from Chicago. 1t runs
straight through to Milwaukee, Madi-
son, st. Paul, Duluth, Superior, Ash
land and the copper and iron mines of
North Michigan. 1t runs straight
through Wisconsin, Minnesota and
South Dakota to Pierre on the Mis-
souri,, and Cakes on the Northern
Poetic. II shoots a train straight
through Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Omaha,
Nebraska, to the Black Hills in Soath
Dakota, and to the Asphalt lakes
beyond Fort Casper, in Montana. 1t
draws the tin from Harney's Peak, and
corn from Lincoln, Hastings and
Superior, Nebraska"
And makes time on all these
roads?"
Its engines are the best in the
world, and its cars the newest.
Makes time? Why, Eli, they tell me
that when their great overland twelve
car train shoots into Omaha you will
see the Union Pacific officials standing
at the end of the bridge, watches in
hand, waiting to set them by the
train!" Perkins Railroad Letter.

THE WATER TEST.
1t Is Made BY the Fire Department Before
the Council


The water system of the city was
given radical test by the fire depart
ment of the city this afternoon. Men,
bers Of the common council with several
of the businessmen of the city drove
to the points at which the tests
were made to witness them. The test
consisted of the maintenance of 100
pounds pl essure of water to the square
inch in the pipes. When this had been
put on at the power house the whistle
was blown to notify the men who had
gone with hose and apparatus to the
various plugs, that all was in readiness.
Then hose was attached TO twelve diff
ferent plugs and water turned on.
There we're at least two serious
breaks in the water pipes. One oc-
Cured on South Chicago street just
back of Fred Gottfredsen's house and
the other was on Day ton street. AS
soon as these were discovered the water
was turned off at the points affected.

MISSES newell.
The Woman's club held very inter-
esting meeting at their hall on Main
street Wednesday afternoon. The
program consisted of papers on travel
by Misses Madeleine and Edith Newell
and remarks by Mrs. O. S. Newell.
The latter spoke very pleasingly and
instructively on the various points of
interest not touched upon by the 9TH
ers, which it was her pleasure to visit
during the last winter. Miss Edith
Newell read paper on the Isle of
Man, made famous by Hall Caine in his
two novels. the Deemster and the
Manxman. Miss Madeline Newell
read beautiful, comprehensive paper
descriptive of the Hawaiian isle, its
customs and people. The latter was
very highly spoken of. During the
brief business meeting prior to the
program the ladies discussed again the
matter of a University Extension
course and elected Mrs. Kimball the
president, and Mrs. Meers to represent
the local club in the federation at

THE DANISH FAIR.
It opens Under Favorable Auspices
Wednesday Night.

The fair of the Danish Lutheran
church opened in Simmons hall
Wednesday evening to large crowd.
The hall has been somewhat remodeled
since the last time public functions
were held there, so that there is a
gallery or balcony to it. The interior
of the hall had been beautifully dec
Grated with bunting in the Danish
colors of red and white. Conspicuous
at the east end Of the hall was large
Danish flag, while on the south side a
large American flag formed the canopy
over the voting booth. The south
side of the hall was reserved for the
wheel of fortune and fine display of
fancy and useful articles with prices
attached on them for the sale. In the
center of the hall stood the refresh
ment stand, while in the balcony tables
were spread and suppers were served.
The program for the evening con-
sisted of music by Miss Ingel Arentzen,
who played some of the old familiar
Danish pieces and aroused the slum-
bering memories of many an auditor of
the old home land. In the voting
contest a smoking set is offered the
man who receives the largest number
of votes and an elegant toilet set goes
to the lady who receives the greatest
number of votes. In the vote We'd
nesday evening Andrew Dahlstrom
received the highest number, being
sixteen, and in the ladies' contest
Carrie Jason carried off the honors,
with thirty-two votes.

Beware of ointments for catarrh that con-
tain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surface. Such ar
ticles should never be used except on
prescription from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. !" j. Cheney & Co.,

is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces OF
