learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able cure in all its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical fraterni
ty. Catarrh being constitutional disease requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de.
stroying the foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the constitu
ton and assisting nature in doing it's work The

In another column we give the details
of the refunding bond negotiations so sue
oessfully completed Dec 10th. While the
d per cent. bonds issued in 1868 were sold
below par, so that the city paid about
per cent. interest, the new issue of 1 Der
cents commanded a premium of 527. As
the new issue Will probably not exceed
S47S, 000, the difference between paying
per cent. on 1898, 900 and 4 per cent on
S47S 000 will be readily seen. A compari-
son with similar transactions elsewhere
will show that these bonds were placed to
good advantage For example, the town
of Bethel for an issue of $50, 900 bonds re-
ceived premium Of 3 u, two per cent.
less than the premium on our bonds. A
transaction of greater magnitude, and af-
foriing better comparison, is thus re-
ported in press despatch:
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 24.-The city of Mil
waukee has sold $500, 600 worth of ) per
cent. bonds at IccoId- breaking premium
for this city The bonds We're sold in two
separate blocks, $40, 600 of which were
city school bonds and Sl20, 900 garbage
disposal plant bonds. Tie Wisconsin
National bank purchased the school bonds,
paying a premium therefor of 10 80 per
cent, which reduces their interest paying
power to , 81 per cent. K. l.. Day & Co.
ii New York city bought the garbage
bonds at a premium of b. per cent.
thus reducing their interest paying capa-
city to , 50 per cent. The prem ums paid
for these bonds are the highest ever paid
for Milwaukee municipal securities. the
high water mark until to-day being r. ST
per cent.
1t should be noted that these are five
per cent. bonds, as against our As. We
feel that the citizens of Belfast are to be
congra tuiated ON this showing, and that
their thanks are due to the mayor and
the members of the finance committee for
their arduous and well-dlre cted abors
\ lower tax rate in the near future is as
sured and that is prime factor in pro-
noting general prosperity.
