The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is al
least one dreaded disease that
science has b;cn able to curs in al,
its stages, and that is Catarrh.-
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi.
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
surfaces Of the system
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tent strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The p]roprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it
might fail to cure.

Why take JOhnsOn's
Chill & Fever Tonic?
Because it cures the
most stubborn case
OfFeVer i'm ONEDAY.

The reason why wheat has been
so high for the last six months Is
that the wheat crop in several pro-
ducing sections of the world was a
complete failure last summer and
fall. Consequently the price adj
vanced until it reached nearly dou-
Bile the 10 vest figure at which it
sold during the year. 1t seems
now that the extraordinary foreign
demand has been supplied, and
that, consequently, wheat has
fallen in price, ever with increased
tariff duties in sight.
There is q lesson for the cotton
planters and farmers Of the South
in the variations and Quotations
Of wheat prices. The Southern
farmers are as much a part of the
agricultural interest Of the com
try as the farmers of other Sec
tions. Our combined agricultural
interests are the backbone Of the
industries of this country. When
u farm crs are prosperous, the
country must necessarily be pros
porous; when U farmers are not
prosperous, the country must suf-
fer in sympathy with them. Tariff
laws car only affect the agricultu-
raj interest Of the United States by
causing excessive tariff duties i'm
posed by this government upon
the products of other governments
and tho placing of retaliatory taxes
upon own agricultural products
abroad. Agriculture has thus
everything to lose by high tariff
duties. The farmers pay more Of a
protective tariff than any other
particular class. a lesson Of tho
rise aud fall of wheat prices applies
equally to every agricultural pro.

The Story of n Stolen Watch and u Truly

Being rich and proud, the old railroad
mngnate would give reasonable for
tune if this incident in his career had
never become public. He had left his
Office one afternoon, aud in front of the
building found n crowd, attracted by a
passing procession. He was pressing
his way through when stopped by a
brilliantly handsome young woman
whose face wore troubled look. She
wanted to reach street in the north
western part of the city and was at a
loss what route to take. He CALAMITY
helped her out Of the crush, put her Oh
the right car aud told her where to get
off. Wanting to know the time few
minutes later, he dove into his watch
pocket, only to iind it unoccupied. A
little profanity was followed by u
chucElc, for the watch taken was a
cheap affair he was carrying while his
timepicce was being repaired.
He had never suspected the beautiful
young lady, but the next day she mp
peared in tears and restored the stolen
watch. She was sorely pressed for
money, had 10 one to whom she could
go for help and had yielded to mo.
mentary impalso. But her conscience
gave her no rest until she rcpented and
made restitution. She had thrown her.

in the glass tn smile congratulations at
himself There he discovered that his
big diamond pin was gone. The long
pocketbook was missing from the inside

The small fry among the ex
pressmen of Honolulu have quite
kick against the wharf superin-
tendents OF the Wilder Steamship
Company whom they charge with
unfair treatment and discrimina
ton in favor of u larger hauling
concern.
They alleee that, by a recent
order OF the superintendent,
only one express company can
be represented on an incoming
steamer; and that this man has
invariably been one from the
Office of a syndicate, against
which the smaller men have
already found it hard to compete.
An expressman suggests as a
means of preventing an injustice
all around that Wilder e. Co. sci
u figure on their boarding privi-
lege and put the same up at auc-
ton. "Of course" he continued
''the big company would get il
but they would have to pay for it,
which they do not do now"
