A FREIGHT BLOCKADE.
The Recent Fire in the Tunnel West OF
Truckee, Cal. on the Central Pacific,
Causing Much Inconvenience

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-The recent
fire in the tunnel on the Central Pa
cific railroad west of Truckee has
caused a serious freight blockade.
Some 800 cars of freight are waiting
on the west side of the tunnel Thew
are scattered on side tracks all the
way from Auburn down to Sacra-
mento. At Truckee, Reno, Wads-
worth and other points east of the
tunnel over 500 cars of freight are be-
ing held. A good deal of the latter
freight is en- route to Australia, Hong
Kong and Yokohoma, and the steam
ers at this port may be delayed until
the freight arrives With much in
convenience passengers, baggage. ex-
press and mail are being transferred
at the tunnel, which, however, will be
repaired in a short time

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put te-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable., For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address F. J. Cheney & Co, To-
ledo, 0. Sold by Druggists, 75c.

THE CAMPAIGN
OPENED HERE.
Captain John Lamb Before the Mon
roe Ward Club.
THE TARIFF AND THE CURRENCY.
Former is Not Responsible for the
Panics, But the Nominee Says
Poor Monetary system Pro-
duccs the Hard Times.

CAPTAIN John Lamb. the Democratic
nominee for Congress i'm this district,
opened his campaign in Richmond before
the Monroe Ward Club. in Pickett Camp
Hall, last night.
The attendance was not large, only
about half the seats being taken. But
Captain Lamb had very attentive au-
dience. His discussion Of the issues OF
the canvass received a most respectful
hearing. President S. l. Kelley presided,
and Mr.. Ordway Fuller was the acting
secretary
The nominee was received with very
generous applause. In opening his ad-
dress he brushed away the tariff question
I'm a few sentences. He said the Demo-
cratic party stood for tariff for reve-
nue. with incidental protection. while the
Republicans favored a tariff for pro-
lection, with incidental revenue. The
country people. as a rule, wanted a
low tariff. while the Captain said. he
had received letters from several OF his
cOnstituents-good people I'm Richmond
and Manchester employed in factories
who want a protective tariff. General
Hancock the nominee stated, uttered
truth. even If it did cost him the
Presidency. when he said the tariff was
a local question.
CURRENCY QUESTION RESPONSIBLE
The tariff. the Captain argued, was
not responsible for the ills we suffer, for
there had been panics under low tariffs
and under high tariffs.
Captain Lamb devoted the most Of his
speech to a discussion of the currency
question, though he did not go into this
question as fully as he intended. He con-
tended that we need a larger volume OF
currency to make the country prosperous.
The per capita OF circulation is not sufii-

advocated the issue OF Treasury notes

The Captain charged the Republicans
