There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
sstantly failing to cure with local treatment,
it incurable. Science has proven
.catarrh to be constitutional disease, and,
therefore. requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from ten 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-

picked Up While Doing Jury Duty
at Fergus Falls.

Fergus Falls has had it's Waterloo
and the Wellington of the Waterloo
was Jim Hill, the railroad Rhodesius
who has the fate of so many towns on
ibis fingers ends. This gidnt of the
western railroad world, in pushing
what was then the st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba railroad, into the
uncivilized west, passed northwesterly
from st. Paul through Fergus Falls.
The destined railroad King took
great interest in the town, and while
mills and factories we're springing up
along the river running through the
isolated town, Jim Hill had q crew
of men at work busily engaged in
completing q round house, machine
shop. etc., for passenger division. A
sboom was on, and Fergusites and Jim
Hill we're feeling good. But a lull
came, and Fergusites we're bound to
have a new railroad. The Northern
Pacific was running through Staples,
so miles eastward, and that great
system wanted to come in, but it
wanted Fergus Falls to give down
$4,000. The magnate of the Great
Northern told Fergus Falls people to
let the Willard system alone and it
rxro,,ll oo,,,o -, xx,;&h ho,,k n hopro P,,f
these people wanted a road to buck
Jim Hill, and they voted the bonds
Hills love turned to hatred, as it has
often done since, and he informed
Fergus Falls people that for not heed
ing advice he would infict the punish
ment of moving his shops to Barnes
vile. Hill never makes an idle threat,
as Fergus Falls learned shortly after,
when he practically abandoned the
town-as St. Cloud has learned as
other towns have learned, and when
EHill's friendship turns to hate, his
enemies are sure to suffer. Fergus
Falls has never recovered from Hills
hate, and probably never will.
The city is isolated. Isolation is
hardly a name for it. 1t seems as
though Kansas cyclone had once
struck it and settled it over the hills
and dales where it is located, and now,
almost as far as the eye can reach, iso-
lated structures can he seen. Only
here and there is even a semblance of
solid business unity in the blocks.
But where there are two brick struc-
ures together there are dozen similar
structures separated, and one doesn't
know just what to call the business
centre of the town. Really, if one was
to compare Second street or Washing
ton avenue, Redwood Falls, with any
one business street in Fergus Falls,
the advantage would lay with the for
mer. But comparing the whole tracts
OF both cities, Fergus has much the
advantage.
Any old rattle-trap of town can
boast of fewer frame business houses.
These old rickety structures are an
eye sore to the visitor, and are no doubt
greater eye sore to the residents OF
the town. They are all out of line
with the brick buildings and with the
streets-are concave and convex, bulge
ia aud bulge out, and really lool
worse than that double headed series
of buildings looking east from Wash

Ex-Judge Comstock Of Detroit
cives to the People His Opinion
Satisfied Only with Hoods.

The testimonials in favor of Hoods
Sarsaparlla come from people in all
ranks of life. Its great power to en-
rich and purify the blood is recognized
by physicians, clcrgymen, teachers,
lawyers and judges, who, owing TO
sedcntary habits and severe nervous
strain, often need its vitalizing and
nerve-strcngthening influence. Ex-
Judge Constock of Detroit SAYS:
" am busy man and have little time
for recreation, and / find my system some
times needs toning up. At such times
take two or three bottles OF Hoods Sarsa-
parilia, and then find l am all right. |
have sometimes been persuaded to try
other and cheaper kinds, but have never
been satisfied with anything but Hoods
Sarsaparilla." EX-JUDGEA q. CoMsToCK,

The lecture was quasi political In Its
character. He attacked tho licenses syst M

hello the democra lie AID repub,cal parties
rc.ros s.blo for the system. generating the
y, oh b. ton party from any completely in

He raped the churches for their apa ny
IN ma. tiNty In his cause Of temperance
and ascr.bed their lothargic attitude To the
fact that the membership OF the churches
were so thoroughly h0rcy -combsd wi h
those in some way or another ident fled
with the liquor interest that II WAS worth n
minister's position to openly attack this
evil.

at the Christian church at o'clock this
evening to q mixed audience. The lecture
