The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at last
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh- Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Young Men Employed at Arsenal Get

Some young menwho committed pet
ty thefts at the government arsenal are
not only minus good positions which
they held there and debarred from
further privileges of the island, but
can thank their stars that they are not
now in the hands of the federal au-
thorities- The boys could not over
come the temptation when they gazed
into box filled with 45-calibre Colts
revolvers. SO they agreed to take one
apiece The property was soon missed
and the affair was reported. The
foreman of the department from which
the revolvers were stolen took day
off. made inquiries around the hard
ware and gun stores, and learned the
names of the fellows who had been
trying to purchase 45-caiibre bullets.
The boys were charged with the theft
and Informed that the government
dealt severely with such cases. They
were let 90, however, on condition that
the revolvers be returned, which was

Extension of a Road That May Use the
New Bridge.
The belief that the St. Louis, Peoria
x Northern railway is interested in
the Crescent bridge is strengthened
by the following from the Chicago
Tribune: Negotiations are said to
have been concluded in New York
looking to the extension of the St.
Louis, Peoria X Northern road from
Peoria to Clinton and ChicSgo. The
parties in control of the road will
commence at once the construction
of an extension of their line from
Peoria to East Clinton, a distance of
100 miles, where connection will be
made with the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul. Arrangements have also been
made for the construction of some i'm
portant branches, including enc to
Chicago, distance of $50 miles from
Peoria. Construction of the St.
Louis, Peoria Il Northern was COM
menced in 1890, and when the Clinton
and Chicago extensions are completed
the entire system will embrace 515
miles. 1t will constitute another
Chicago-St. Louis line, competing
with the Alton, Wabash, and Illinois
Central, and will give the Chicago &
Northwestern and Milwaukee roads a
direct line from Chicago to st. Louis. -
