Catarrh is capable Of changing all
the life giving sscretions of the body
into scalding fluids, which destroy
aud inhame every part they come in
contact with Applications to the
places affected by catarrh can do
! tile good save to soothe or quiet
disagreeable symptoms. Hence it
is that gargles, sprays, atomiaers
and inhalants only serve ms tempor-
ary relief Any medicine to effect
cure must be taken into the sys-
tom.
50 long as the irritating secretiOns
ofcatarrh continue to be formed so
long will the membranes continue
to be inllamed, no matter what
treatment is used. There is but one
remedy that has this most desirable
effect, and that remedy is Pe-ru-na.
This remedy strikes at once TO the
root of the catarrh by restoring to
the capillary vessels their healthy
elasticity. P5-ru.ne Is not a tenn
porary palliative, but radical cure.

Ne Would Be on Hand

Itappears from story told in con-
nectiou with caucus held in Troy,
~ Y, a few years ago, that the ma
tives of Erin in that CITY were fully
alive to the opportunities of the
Americans, and did not wish to be
left behind.
During the caucus in one of the
lower wards of the city, one John
O'Brien was nominated for a minor
position on the ward ticket to be
voted for at the charter election.
Some inquiries were made of one
Patrick O'Brien as to who this per-
son bearing his name might be, as
no one in the neighborhood could
call him to mind.

O'Brien, with cheerfully alacrity

About Snakes

A correspondent Of the Register
from Flatbrookville, n j d, says that
60 old rattlesnakes have been caught
by the Trauger boys, $50 little ones
and so pilots, and that the Ogden
family killed 80 in their meadows.
The record Of poisonous snakes
this year exceeds that of any we re
call
some one should rise to explain
why 1t has generally been sup
posed that moving machines and
hunting them had greatly reduced
their number, but if half the stories
told are true this has been Won
derful season for snakes. The wet
weather may have driven them
more TO the open, OF they may have
concluded TO give mp the fight and
come ont and be killed or this being

What Wide Tires Do.

Elaborate tests of the draft of wide
and narrow tired wagons have just
been completed by the Missouri Ag-
ricultural College Experiment Sta
ton, Columbia, extending over a
period of a year and a half These
tests have been made on macadam,
gravel and dirt roads in all eondi-
tions, and also on the meadows and
plowed fields of the experimental
farm Contrary TO public expecta-
ton, in nearly all cases draft was
materially lighter when tires six
inches wide were used, than with
tires of standard width The load
hauled was in all cases the same, and
the draft was most carefully deter
mined by means of a self-recording
dynamo meter The beneficial eff
feet of the wide tire on dirt roads is
strikingly shown in some recent tests
at the station. In a trial when clay
road was so badly cut into ruts as
to be almost impossible for light
vehicles and pleasure carriages, after
running the six inch tires over this
road twelve times, the ruts were
completely filed and a first-class bi
cycle path made, Columbia Herald.

A Problem FOR farmers.

If bushel of wheat is worth a
gold dollar and a gold dollar is
worth two dollars and thirty five
cents in silver, how many bushels
of wheat will it take to pay debt
of one hundred dollars ?
The condition of the farmers is
better to-day with dollar wheat and
potatoes seventy-five cents then
during the war when the prices OF
his produce were much higher but
the cost Of articles he bought pro,
portionally high. The purchasing
power Of his dollar is far greater
now than then.

The busy reaper has again invad-

was the daughter of Joseph Fuller
who when his family was young
came to Dingman Ferry to reside.
May 1850 she was united in marri-
age to James Mollineaux and subse-
quantly with her husband took up
her abode in Milford For some
time she has been afflicted with a
tumor ana a year or more ago an
operation was performed for its re-
moval. The relief however was not
permanent as it became apparent
recently that she must again sub
NIT to the perils of the surgeons
knife, and last week she underwent
the second operation at the Hospital
in Port Jervis which resulted in her
death at that place on Tuesday
about noon. She was of an unob-
trusive disposition, domestic in her
tastes and habits, and made her
home attractive and cheerful to her
family. Her death is sad blow to
her surviving husband who has the
warmest sympathy of his friends in
this trying period She is survived
by three sisters, Hannah widow of
John Burke of Walpack, N j.,

ture for extravaganza, asks that the
State Treasury be Investigated, SYM

the principles Of the Democratic party
as expressed in the platform adopted by
the national convention at Chicago in
1896 and says: We are firmly and un-
alterably opposed to the single gold
standard which has been the direct
cause OF the financial distress that has
followed upon our people since its adop-
ton, and we are in favor Of a complete
and immediate return to our original
specie basis az It existed prior to the
demonetizatioA act of 1873. We con-
