Foul Smelling
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr. b. p. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes

CROP CONDITIONS
The Weather Bureau Issues Its Weekly
 Summary

Washington, August 15.-The following is the weather bureaus weekly summary of crop conditions:
 Very favorable weather conditions pre- vailed during the week in the Ohio valley and generally in the middle South Atlantic and East Gulf states. Drought prevailed in the lower lake region, while the lower Missouri and Red rivers of the north and central Mississippi valleys have suffered from excessive rains
 This has been another favorable week for corn. It is estimated that early corn in the principal corn states of the central valleys will be safe from frost by Septem- Der 15 and the late crop by September 30. Stacking and threshing of spring wheat has been generally delayed by rains, and violent hail storms in the Red river valley have caused a loss estimated at 2oOOo GOO bushels in North Dakota and about 50 per csen of the expected yield of 50000 acres in Minnesota.
 Harvesting of the oat crop is now practl- cally complete. In nearly all sections cot ton is rapidly opening and picking is Tn general progress. While complaints of shedding continue general they are some what less numerous than in the previous week over the east half of the cotton belt. Rust, however, is still prevalent and is increasing in the central and eastern dis tricts. In the north, central and western portions of the cotton belt. the conditions of cotton Is decidedly less promising than at the close of the previous week.
 The reports concerning tobacco continue favorable in nearly all tobacco states. Cut ting is in progress in the Ohio valley and middle Atlantic states.
 Under the favorable conditions of the past week blowing for fall seeding is ex- ceptionally well advanced.

GEN. BROOKE WILL BE CONSULTED Will Talk With Secretary Root
 of Affairs in Cuba. ELECTIONS IN THE ISLAND Colonel Kennon Thinks the Time Near When They Gan Be Advanta-
 geously Held Spaniards Want
 to Become Citizens.
ELECTIONS IN THE ISLAND

Washington, August 15.-General Brooke will be called to Washington to consult with Secretary Root concerning affairs in Cuba The secretary desires to have the benefit of General Brookes knowledge of the condition of things in the island before he reaches a definite conclusion as to a future policy for Cuba. No date has been fixed for General Brooke's visit. but it will no doubt be determined by the devel- opments of the situation and before the secretary begins his annual report to the president.
 Colonel Kennon of the Thirty-fourth in- fantry, recently appointed, but who has been on duty at Havana as assistant ad- nt-gmeral, had long conference with Secretary Root today. Colonel Kennon so impressed President Mckinley with the in- formation that he brought from Havana that the president thought 1t advisable he should talk with Secretary Root. Colonel Kennon assured both the president and Secretary Root the course which General Brooke was pursuing met with general approval and was of that carefn. and con servative nature required by the condi- tions in the island. It was necessary to make radical changes, but the policy Of the general has been to make the old ht the new with as little friction as possible.
 As to elections in Cuba, Colonel kennon told the secretary that he thought the time was far distant when they could be held to advantage. By a provision in the peace treaty the Spanish residents in the island were given one year from the date of ex- change of notifications in which to declare their preference as to citizenship. Elec- tions could not be held, he said, until after they elapsed in justice to this class. The desirability of leaving the matter open was apparent, said Colonel Kennon, because large proportion of the property was owned by Spanish subjects, and If it could be demonstrated to them that their interests were in becoming citizens it would be bet ter for the future of the island.
 Colonel Kennon said that the people of Cuba were fast coming to the conclusion that the interests of all would be best subserved by these people accepting Cuban citizenship and by Spaniards and Cubars acting in harmony; aud while they do not mix well at present, the feeling of irrita- tion is wearing away. The matter of suf- frage is one. the Colonel sadd, that must be carefully considered. The disadvantages which a great proportion of the people have been under and which have prevented them from being educated will make It extremely hazardous to grant universal suffrage when the time comes for holding an election.
 Secretary Root was much gratified with fine informa tion which Colonel Kennon communicated.

New York, August 15.-Reports to the eff feet that combination of the leading cigar manufacturers in Key West, Tampa and Havana is being organized are current in the tobacco trade in this city.
 Many of the principal firms are said to have given options to the promoters of the scheme, but as yet no definite plans have been formulated. It was learned on good authority today that accountants are at work on the books of the firm from which options have been secured but considerable difficulty Is expected in bringing about an arrangement as to prices, etc., and it is said that in case a satisfactory basis of operations was arrived at only the leading firms would be included in the combination and scarcely one-half of the options now secured would be accepted. Those in charge of the preparatory work expect to be able to report to the firms already in- terested by the end of this month.
