Are the nostrils stopped up? Is first
one and then the other nostril stopped
up? Is there discharge from the nose?
Is there dropping from the back part of
the nose into the throat? Is your sense
of smell affected? Do you have pain in
the nose? Does your nose smart? Do
you sneeze often? Are you troubled
with nose bleed? Do you blow your
nose frequently? Is the discharge from
your nose thick or thin? Is your breath
offensive? Do you snore while lying on
your side?
If so, you have chronic nasal catarrh
and should attend to the matter at once.
A short course of Pe4ru-na will cure you

longer. Besides the disease is liable to

the sentencing of Isom Anderson,
the bank robber, within 40 or so
feet of the scene Of the robbery.
On February 22, 1890, Mr.. Phil
lips again became sole editor and
proprietor, Mr.. English's name
disappe airing. On October 4th OF
the same year appears the name OF
E. E. Johnson and w. S. English.
In the following January the name
of Phillips appears again, and on
March 9TH he again retired, this
time in favor of Geo. S. Thomp-
son. Later Mr.. Thompson and
Mr.. English formed partnership
until 1892, when Mr.. Thompson
was succeeded by ]. f. Thompson.
This year the Columbia school
house was built. In November
Mr.. Thompson's name disappeared
and the paper was conducted by
Phillips & English until December

to A. T. Hunt, who had purchased
the plant. From 1886 to 1850 or
1890 the TRIBUNE was published in
the old Masonic building on Santa

Colorado avenue, erected by Phil
lips G. English. AT the present
time it is published on Trinidad
Plaza in the same building, but on

Phillips Brothers, druggists, be-

La unta, or Junta, and Tribune
are almost interchangeable terms.
The former, a Spanish word, sig

junction, etc. The latter, from
the Latin tribus (tribe), was used
in ancient Rome to designate one
of body of magistrates, chosen
by the people to defend the liber-
ties of the masses. The history OF
our La Junta and TRIBUNE are in
separable. They came into perma-
nent existance at about the same
time, La Junta being incorporated
in 1881, and have developed to-
gether. They still stand in re-
ciprocal relationship, which hap
