There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
Fo; a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local re medies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefor requires cons,itu-
tional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure

Watertown,

The reunion of company i, 14Sth o.
V. l.. was of unusual interest this year
it being entertained by Comrade and
Mrs. l.. Power, of Watertown. A good
program was carried out. By ten
O'Clock 90 fthe members of company
had gathered together and were
comparing notes of 81 and '65 with
the present unpleasantness with Spain
At IL o'clock our genial Captain and
President called the company to order.
The following program was then car
ried out: Music by the company band.
Invocation, by Comrade ]. M. Witham.
Address Of welcome, by Miss Augusta
Powers. Response, by Comrade Will
liam Breckenridge. Recitations by
Misses Edna Humphrey, Lima Morris

nance stores at City Point August 9.
1864, of which the most of our regi-
ment was an eye witness. A good ad
dress by Rev. Mr.. Francis A bounti-
full dinner. The following committee
on arrangements for 1899 was appoint
ed: VIM. Breckenridge, j. A. Arnold

adjournment reported to meet with

Wednesday following the second Sat
urday of August Officers were elect
ed for the year as follows: President

The Watertown Farmers Club met
at the home of Osmer Legget on Sat-
urday, the 18th. 1t was one of the
most pleasant meeting of the season.
The subject Of the day was very sea-
sonable-"How can we get the most
profit from our corn crop" Mr. L. S.
Bingham had good paper on the sub
ject. His method was to feed his
crop to stock on the farm. Must do
so OF retain the fertility of our farms.
Thomas Greenlees crushes his small
corn mixed with oats. Crushing adds
to the feed value and convenience in
feeding. Crushed feed is fed to cattle
only. Fodder is generally fed whole
in managers, but he thought to get the
most benefit from it it should be cut |
and shredded. Following is the pro-

terest and for s35o.ooo Dam
ases-The Boston & non
lana Defendants

Another suit growing out Of tho Day
ton lode controversy was brought in the
district court yesterday by =. Aug.
Heinz and Arthur +. Heinze against
the Boston & Montana Mining com
pany for possession OF a half interest in
the claim, for an injunction and for
$3.50, 900 damages. The complaint in the
case alleges that on Dec. %, 1898. Dennis
Farrell was the owner Of a half interest
in the Dayton lode. the other interest be-
ing owned by John T. Baldwin and W.
w. SHETLAND. The owners agreed in
writing TO convey a portion of the prop
erty to II. N. Upton. II. II. Zenor and
p. A. Largey, n in 1892 they were en-
titled to a deed according to the agree
ment. On Jan. %, 1885, Farrell agreed
20 sell the remainder Of his interest to
the Montana Copper company and later
executed a deed for IL, bu by an over
sight and mistake he failed to specify
in the deed that IT was subject to the
agreement with Zenor, Upton and lar
gey, but IL is alleged that the Montana
Copper company had full notice and
knowledge of such contract and the
deed was subject to it. on Feb. 6, 1885.
( Baldwin conveyed an eighth interest in
the claim to T. 5. Hamilton. subject to
the agreement referred 10. and later
Hamilton sold IL TO the Montana Copper
company.

the Boston 4 Montana. The plaintiffs
succeeded to the rights of Zenor. Lar
: gey and Upton under the agreement.
and last April obtained a deed from
Farrell for one-hslf of the Dayton claim.
1T is alleged that the defendant COM
pany had been mining the ground prior
to the time the plaintiffs secured their
deed, and without the knowledge or con-
sent of Farrell. Zenor, Upton or Largey,
took out about $3.50. 900 worth of ore be-
longing to them. and since the plaintiffs
have succeeded TO the rights OF the -four
named the company has taken out about
800, 900 more. and judgment for the
$3.50. 900 Is asked. The court is also asked
to enjoin the defendant from continuing
the operations I'm the ground, and that
the plaintiffs be put into possession OF
their half interest in the property. A pc.
tition was also filed for an order Of sur
vey TO permit the plaintiffs TO inspect
the defendants workings In the ground
permission to do so having been refused
them by the defendant. Judge Clancy
issued a temporary restraining order
and an order to show cause why an or
der of survey should not be granted.

New York. Aug. l2.-Bradstreet's will
say tomorrow: Changes In general trade

generally toward improvement. Notable
In this respect has been the iron and stocl

nected I'm advances for those cereals in

an underestimate by the government In

Effects of the holding of wheat by farm

roads during July. Price strength is also
a feature.
oats. lard. beef. coffee. lead. rubber,
