The Severity of this Dis.
ease Increases Each
Winter.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that its severest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to in
tensify the disease, so that it gradually
fastens its hold upon the sufferer with
a grasp that becomes firmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only cold
at first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of a disease that will de-
velop in severity and stubbornness and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment of sprays, washes, and
similar applications. Being disease
of the blood, only blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S.
(Swift's Specific) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr. 7. A. Williams, leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, s. O., writes:
For four years had nasal catarrh,

to build the DnrJ OF the road lying in her terri

$S.UDO.OOO to construct her part Of the work.
The engineering difficulties will not be great.
though several tunnels of considerable length
will be required. According to the contracts
the road is to be in complete running order
over the entire distance by Oct. l. 1902. The
Governments. after building the road. will
turn it over to the company that owns the
mines. This company is to pay all the run
ming expenses and re pairs and turn over an
nually to the two Governments q percentage
on the amounts expended in building the line.
OF course It will not be possible TO advance
the road building on the Swedish side during
the winter months. The plan. therefore. is 10
work on the tunnels during the winter. and
when summer comes push the work with all
possible speed in the open. When the road is
completed it is expected to shin out 100000
tons a year and to place it in England for $3.50
n ton. There is a growing demand for Swed-
ish ore in that country to take the place os the
Spanish ores, which are growing scarce and
mere difficult to obtain.
There will be a greater array OF snow sheds
on the Swedish portion of the road than are TO
be found even on the Canadian Pacific in the
Rockies and Selkirks. All the most exposed
parts Of the line will be thus protected and the
snowplough will be relied upon to keep the
rest OF the track clear.

IN THE MINING GROUP.
Within Two Years tho Republicans Have
Nearly DoubIed Their Former Vote.

Nearly DOuDleu Ineir FORMER vote.
The mining group OF States is usually made
to include Colorado. Nevada. Utah. Montana
and Idaho. Colorado. Nevada and Utah are
silver States. Montana exceeds all others in the
product Of COPPER. and Idaho ranks second
among the States in the product Of lead. The
relation Of minerals to one another under mod
ern methods OF mining is such that the produc-
ton Of one metal goes hand in hand necessarily
with that OF another. and as a consequence
both Idaho and Montana have large silver
products. All five Of these States in the st.
Louis Republican Convention Of 1895 were
favorable to the consideration of a sill
yer plank, in Difference to their local in
terests. and in them there was a for
midable revolt of the silver Republicans.
as they call themselves. In that convention
the votes Of these five States were cast solidly
against the platform adopted. and on the bal
loting for President. the Colorado delegates.
the Idaho delegates. and some Of the Nevada.
Utah and Montana delegates refused to par
ticipate. withdrawing to take part in the silver
Republican Convention which Endorsed the
nomination of Bryan and Sewall. In the cleo
| tion succeeding. Bryan carried Colorado by
$4,000 majority: Idaho by 10000 in a total
vote Of less than 10000; Nevada by $500 in a
total vote Of 10000; Montana by $4,000 in a
total vote of 3d. 900. and Utah by a plurality OF
81 900 in a total of SO. 1000.
These five States. under such conditions, did
not furnish a very encouraging outlook for the
Republican party at succeeding elections, the
first detection OF Populists from the Republi-
cans having been followed by a subsequent
and larger detection OF Republicans to the sill
yer Republican party. the votes of which made
possible the large majorities in the Presiden-
tial election of 1896. Though without infu-
ence upon the result Of the Presidential cleo
ton OF 1896. those five States have ten OF the
United States Senators. besides six Repre-
sentatives in Congress in the lower house.
The obstacles to Republican success in
them seemed two years ago to be almost insur-
mountable. but the Republicans. adhering to n
determination TO regain the ground which they
had lost. set themselves about the task of re-
storing their broken column by recovering
former supporters or gaining new recruits. In
Colorado there was. in 1897, an election for
judicial office only. In Idaho there was no
contest. In Montana there was no election in
1897 neither was there one in Nevada or Utah.
The Republicans had therefore two years to
recover lost ground, and how well they did it
is to be seen in the following table Of votes in
these five States. comparing the Republican
vote in each in the Presidential election Of 1896
with that cast for the Republican candidate for
the head Of the State ticket In 1898:
