A Forerunner OF the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal deflement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
eve @ he expected from local
ar'H...l.ns. as such treatment

No Banks or Negroes.

For half a century Calhoun county,
H., has not had s bank or negro with
in its borders. Neither has it had a
railroad, a telephone or a telegraph
line.
1t was announced short time ago
that the county would have a bank
and tn. contract was let. The con.
tractor thought that if the county ac-
ceptsd bank it could also stand a
negro, in which he reckoned without
his host.
Last Saturday the contracting com
pany reached Hardin. Samuel Wash
ington, colored, was engaged to carry
the hod. When the news spread that
4 negro was in town and intended TO
stay the townsPeoPls prepared to
scare him. They arose and descended
with ropes in their hands.
When Washington heard the Wig
ilauts coming he made for the river

ty miles back to Alton. The crowd
stood on the bank and saw to it that
the negro did not return.

No, the Canon's Work.

Mr.. Conan Doyle Is himself the
hero of a story in little Irish town,
SAYS the London Academy The town
possesses a convent ruled by Mother
Superior whose eyes have seen their
best days. Gong lately into the local
booksellers shop, she picked up a
volume which she thought was written
by Canon Doyle, a dignitary of renown
in those parts. She bought it and
read it aloud for the edifcation at the
midday meal Of the community.
The edifcation in the first chapter
seemed far to seek. Never had love
making been so freely alluded to with
in those secluded walls. The novlces
were thrilled. well, well, said the
Mother Superior, "the dear Canon is
preparing us for a miracle OF grace.
The frivolous firt, by the mercy Of
heaven, no doubt ends by taking the
veil.
Then came the awakening. Some
one eagerly peering into the volume
perceived that the title page bore the
word "Consn" instead of"Canon. The
discovery reached the ears OF the
Mother Superior
Very well, she said, "the bookseller
wher. we bought the book is Pious
man, and now that we have paid for
it we should be wasteful not to read
it to the end. "
What she decresd wa,duly done; and
1t is Mr.. Conan Doyle, fault If all sue
ceeding books chosen for community
perusal have seemed to be exceedingly
dull.

The Land of "Pretty Soon"

know land where the streets are paved
With the things We meant TO achieve
II is walled with the money We meant to have saved
And the pleasures for which we grieve:
The kind words unspoken. the promise broken.
And many a coveted boon
Are slowed away there in that land Somewhere
The land of Pretty Soon"
There are uncut jewels of possible fame
Lying about in the dust,
And many noble and lofty aim
Covered with mould and rust
And o. this place while it seems SO near
Is farther away than the moon;
Though our purpose is fair, yet We never get there
The land Of Pretty Soon"
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with pititul wrecks.
And the ships that have sailed for It's shining strand
Bear skeletons on their decks.
1t is farther at noon than it was at dawn.
And farther at night than it was al noon.
o. let us beware Of that land down there
The land of Pretty Soon"

1T WAS TRIAL DAY.
A Heavy Docket for the Consideration of
Judge Sullivan.

A Heavy Docket for the Consideration of
Judge Sullivan.
Judge Sullivan's Tuesday trial day in
police court was unusually interesting
yesterday, the docket being heavy one
and containing a number of cases of
more than ordinary Importance.
The first case of note to be called was
that Of Fred Spencer and Harry Reed,
who were arrested Monday for carrying
concealed weapons. Reed was The man
the journeymen plumbers attempted to
rob Saturday night and Spencer was his
companion. To protect themselves they
procured guns, and the other side getting
wind of 1t. procured their arrest When
they appeared before Judge Sullivan yes
terday they pleaded guilty and the facts
having become known to the court Judge
Sullivan delivered himself of some pointed
remarks in passing sentence. 1t being
unlawful to carry weapons. he said he
would have to fine the defendants and
would make the fine $40 each, but would
suspend sentence for the reason that it
appeared to him that the defendants were
armed as a matter of self-protection
against a mob which threatened their
safety and possibly their lives for no 9TH
err reason than they were trying to make
an honest living working for union wages.
Later the cases of the four men, Burns,
Ward, Jockey and Ericsson, who were
arrested for the assault on Reed, came
up. Ward pleaded guilty, but the others
went on their defense and after trial were
convicted. 1t appearing that Burns was
the chief actor, he was fined $25, and the
others $40 each. Judge Sullivan again took
occasion to make some remarks. He said
he regarded the offense as very aggra-
waited and that things had come to Sc
rious state when men must be assaulted
by men whose only excuse was a differ
ence of opinion over unionism. He warned
the defendants not to come before him
again on like charge or he would give
them the limit. Attorney Kirk. who had
raised a question as to the suficiency of
the complaint in the cases Of Ward, Lock-
ey and Erickson, took an appeal in those
cases. Burns produced his fine.
Another case of some interest was that
of James McHugh, who was charged with
petit larceny. Two Galena street women
testified to having left two fine umbrel-
las in their room and to the fact that they
had been taken William Jenkins told Of
meeting McHugh with the umbrellas and
being asked for his apron Che was a cook)

TRIED TO KILL HIM.
That Is the Accusation Moughton Brings
Against Kennaugh.

Justice Nichols issued a warrant last
evening for the arrest of Jerry Kennaugh
for assault in the first degree. The war
rant was issued on complaint of H. c.
Moughton, who alleges that Kennaugh
tried to kill him Monday night. Moughton
told Chief Deputy County Attorney c. F.
Kelley, who granted the complaint, that
he was employed at the Silver Bow smell
ter and Kennaugh lived at his house, on
Parrot flats. He had suspected Kennaugh
of paying too much attention to his wife,
but decided to await proper evidence of 1t
before doing anything. Monday night his
wife was absent from home and he went
in search of her, suspecting she was with
Kennaugh. He went to a saloon in the
neighborhood, and going to the side door.
was about to enter, when the door few
open and Kennaugh struck him over the
head with a club. He was knocked down
and Kennaugh then came at him with
knife, making a thrust at his heart. He
threw his left arm in the way and the
blade was buried in the muscles. He had
seen nothing of either Kennaugh or his
wife since. Moughton exhibited knife
cut in his arm and was accompanied by
a friend who vouched for his story,
