Cntarrh Generally Thought to Be a
Disease Of the Head Only.
Catarrh has been SO generally
thought to be disease confined to the
head and throat that it is very diff
cult to get many people to understand
that catarrh may affect any organ of
the human body.
All the organs of the body are lined
with mucous membrane: all the pas
sages of the body are also lined with
mucous membrane.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-09

Wherever there Is mucous men,
brane there catarrh may exist.
The only reason that catarrh Is more
frequent in the passages of the nose
and throat is because these passages
are more exposed to cold than the 9TH
er portions of the mucous membrane.
But one is liable to have catarrh of the
lungs. or kidneys, or stomach. or liver,
or bowels, and especially the bladder
and other pelvic organs.
Peruna is a specific in cases OF re-
male weakness or pelvic catarrh ana
is heartily endorsed by all the women.

ANTITRUST PROPOSALS.
Government Ownership and Free Trad
the Leading Features.

the Leading Features.
The National Antitrust Conference at
Chicago adopted long address to the
public, in which the people are urged to
organize to deprive trusts of their power.
1t declares that the conference is not
making war on business combinations to
reduce cost and augment productive eff
cheney. 1t charges that oppressive trusts
hamper the production of wealth. The
Standard Oil, the Meat, the Anthracite
Coal, the Sugar, the Paper and the Steel
trusts are denounced by name. 1t charges
that Banking trust is threatened, which
would dictate the volume of paper money
and reduce all bankers to servants of
itself. 1t declares that the tendency is
toward few great trusts which would
become absolute masters of the American
people. 1t declares that the only remedy
is the abolition Of legalizcd privileges of
every kind, and especially those created
by tariffs, by the granting of the money
issuing function to private corporations
= by private ownership of railroad and
telegraph lines.
The address holds that no one can OBJ
ject TO the abolition of tariffs which fos-
ter trusts. 1t declares that the trust mag
mates control the banks, and. with con-
troll of the volume of the circulating me-
dunn, they would absolutely dominate the
commercial life of the nation. 1t holds
that the telegraph is a natural adjunct
of the postotiice, but in private hands it
has worked vast evil. 1t declares that
private ownership of railroads has fur
nished the basis of nearly every great
commercial trust with which the people
to-day are cursed. The coal trust is vi
talzed by railway privileges; the oil trust
could not have acquired its power with
out them; the beef trusts and the grain
elevator trust depend upon them; they
make the steer trust flourish, and from
express combinations down to newspaper
agencies, from hack rights at depots to
freight determinations a host of minor
trusts suck in all the vitality they have
as monopolies from railway privileges.
The conference adopted the following
resolution introduced by Congressman
Suzer:
"Resolved, That the members of the
Antitrust League shall give practical
effect to their antagonism to trusts by re-
fusing to purchase, so far MS practicable,
any goods made and controlled by trust,
and shall employ the weapon OF ostracism
against those who support with coercion
and violence the monopolies which OPP
press the people"

WILL ARM THE ZUlUS.
British to Seek Aid of the Savagcs in
War with Beers.

War with Beers.
In the House of Commons during the
course Of reply to question relative
to the probable Boer invasion of Zulu
land, the secretary of state for the colo
MES, Joseph Chamberlain, said that the
Government had decided that if the ma
tive territories were invaded by the Beers
the natives Twill be encouraged and as
sisted in every way in defending them
selves"
Mr. Balfour, the Government leader,
dealing with the same subject and the
possibility of employing Indian troops
said that his. former statement to the
effect that the Government would not
employ natives in the present war was
based on the belief that by common con-
sent the war would be confined to the
two European races, adding: If the
Beers adopt a course inconsistent with
that idea we hold ourselves free to re-
consider our decision"
Mr.. Chamberlain's announcement of
the intention of the Government to en-
courage the Zulus to defend themselves
from the Beers is q contingency that the
Beers seem to have anticipated, as they
have been doing everything in their pow
er to win the good will of the Basutos.
who have thousands OF good rifles. The
Beers gave 1000 Basutos safe conduct
If the British let loose one tribe the
Beers will probably let loose another.

Jtdge Taft Refuses 20 Interfere In he
half Of Keutucky Republicans.
Judge Taft of the United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals at Cincinnati refused
the temporary injunction asked Cor In be-
half Of the Republican minor State OFF,
GERS of Kentucky, filed by ex-Gov. Brad
ley and others. Judge Taft held that the
Federal Court had no jurisdiction. He
did not so into the merits of the case out
side of the strictest Interpretation Of the
Federal laws and constitution. After re-
viewing the case further, he denied the
injunction on the ground that a court Of
equity has no jurisdiction to entertain u
bill for the removal Of public officer
from his Office.
When informed that Judge Taft at Gin
cinnati had refused Jurisdiction, Gov.
Taylor gave out the following signed
statement:
1.-THE decision of Judge Taft to-day,
holding that his court has no jurisdiction
in the case of the minor State officers,

does ret determine that the petitioners

that his court could not take jurisdiction
and right the wrong. IL he had held
that he had jurisdiction it would hayA a.
been over, for the outrages were so glar-
ing that the Republicans would have
won, hands down. The decision in said
cases does not in the least affect my
case"
Gov. Taylor issued an address to the
people of Kentucky, reciting his position
on the present conflict. He reviews at
length the obstacles the Republican can
didates met with in the election on Nov.
Z, and charges that nearly $4,000 votes
were stolen from him by the partisan,
unfair, brutal actions and rulings of the
election officers and the contest board.
He says sufficient of the militia will be
retained to preserve the peace. Gov. Tay-
Tor concludes with a detailed recital of
his course in connection with the peace
conference proceedings. In short, he says
that though he would have been reluctant
to sign away the rights of the people, he
would have done so had he been given as
surance that fair election law would be
substituted for the one which has brought
so much distress to the people Of Ken
lucky.
Gov. w. S. Taylor, in an attempt to
anticipate similar action by the Demo-
Gratis, filed a suit in the Circuit Court at

strain j. G. w. Beckham from attempt
ing to perform the duties of the Office of

KIMBERLEY Is SAFE.
RELIEF At LAST ARRIVES ron
6EsiEoED TOWN.
General French, with Artillery, Cav
airy and Mounted Infantry, LITE the
siege-March Was Accomplished In a
Fierce sandstorm and Terrific Heat.

London was electrified Friday by the
announcement from the war office that
Gen. French with his mounted force had
entered kimberley. 1t is reported ne met
with no opposition. The news Of the re-
lief OF Kimberley was received with re-
joicings and Is regarded as the turning
of the tide. The report that Gen. Cronje
did not contest Gen. Frenchs advance
causes great surprise
The news OF the relief of Kimberley
came to London like ray OF sunshine out
of dark cloud. Public rejoicings were
widespread and unrestrained. Lord Rob
erts was praised to the skies. The relief
of the besieged city is due, in the public
mind, to his brilliant strategy. Kitchener
and French are forgotten, as it is believed
the former organized the forces and
Roberts plan of boldness and dash.
The movement began on Monday, when
French swooped down on Dekils' Drift
and crossed the Riet river. Tuesday he
continued his dash and moved his forces
twenty-five miles in little over six hours,
capturing three Boer laagers at Kip
Drift on the Modder river. The march
was accomplished during a fierce sand
storm and while the heat was terrific.
That was the last heard of him until the
relief Of Kimberley was announced Fri
day. 1t is figured that after brief rest
he pushed right on for Kimberley, reach
ing there in less than forty-eight hours
after his capture of Kip Drift.
The siege of Kimberley began on Oct.
"a, and about 1000 men under Col. Ike
kewich have defended the place with
bravery and skill. Many times the Beers
have attacked the place without definite
success. Gen. Cronje commanded the be-
siegers. Reports from Kimberley at va
rious times have told of the sufferings
of the garrison and the people cooped up
there, but in the face of this the city
held up stubbornly for the relief which
has at last come.
Cecil Rhodes was cooped up in Kimber-
ley, and the desperate efforts OF the Beers
to capture the place were prompted, in
large degree, by their desire to take as
prisoner the man whom they hold respon-
sible for the whole trouble in South At
RIGA. President Kruger had special hat
red for Rhodes, whom he denominates
''the butcher" and it has been declared
that il the diamond king were captured
ransom price of G2,0O0,000 would be
placed on the great financier. And so the
Boer lines have been drawn tightly and
strongly about the town, which Col.
Plumer has held with great difficulty and
under frequent and harassing lombard
ments.

sum when based OH the offers that have
been made the steel company by pros
pective purchasers. According to Tricks
story London syndicate wanted to pur-
chase the plant for $3.50, 000,0 900 in May,
1899, and paid Carnegie 81, 10000, which
amount is still in the iron kings posses
sion as bonus for ninety days option
on Carnegie's 5S15 per cent interest in
the concern. This interest Carnegie val
ued at $157, 100000. On this basis the
plaintiff figures that his 6 per cent inter-
est is worth the sum he has prayed for.
Carnegie, it is alleged, forced Frick
out of the management Of the steel COM
pany for personal reasons. According to
the latters story the immense profits of
the company are largely the result of his
efficient financiering. He asks that the
court appoint receiver for the steel
works, that the debts be paid and the
surplus distributed among the partners,
large and small.
Frick says that il Carnegie is permitted
to manage the business loss will result.
