to meet at your respective county seats,
polling precincts and school houses in

an electoral ticket to be voted on for

of the Peoples party again and build up
the reform party once more Let us or

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing it's work.

CLIMATE SHOWS FEW CHANGES
Weather Conditions Now About the
 Same as In Ages Past.

Same In Ages Past.
 From Popular Science: This subject is of extreme interest and merits 8 most thorough study. We find the "early" and the "latter" rain today in Palestine precisely as described $500 years ago. Jordan oyerfows all it's banks in February today exactly as II did in Joshua's time, thirty-three cen- Guries ago. Plants taken from mummy cases In Egypt, which must have been gathered more than 5000 years since, are practically of the same size and nave the same appearance as those growing today. Records of vintages in France over T00 years ago show prac- tieally the same dates as today. Actual observations of rainfall for over 200 years in France show no change. Ob- seryations of temperature for almost 200 years at St Petersburg show no change appreciable to us, though, of course, the earliest observations were extremely crude and somewhat unreli- able Facts of this kind might be ad- duced to fill a small volume. On the other hand, we have records of most extraordinary cold weather in ancient time. One winter light wine in France fHoze. Another winter the River Pc groze over so as to bear teams, an un- heard-of phenomenon today In this journal for June it is stated that Par nhssus and socrate,= now free from snow, were covered with it in classic antiquity Also "the name Greenland, which strikes us as so singularly in- appropriate, was not iBapplicable at fhe time it was named, in the four teenth century" It Is entirely proba- ale that descriptions of the cold in an eient times were much exaggerated. ParnassHs and Soerate have snow at dimes, and, In earlier days, when pro- lection against the cold and snow was rnuch less than now, a little snow would go long way. The earlier zuyagers from Iceland, more than a thousand years ago. leaving a land of almost perpetual ice and snow, and reaching q land in summer with it's beautiful green color to their unae-
  give the name of Greenland to 1t. At Che summer time it Is said that Green land presents most beautiful green near the Danish settlements to this day. Our oldest inhabitants, who have been wont to describe the terrt- bls cold and deep snoWs of their boy hood days as incomparably greater chan anything which does or can oe- cur today. have completely lost their reckoning the last winter when reading of 8 ship that had sunk In New York harbor blythe weight of the ice upon 1t; also that Washington had had thirs ty-four inches of snow on level and fhe lowest temperature ever noted in that fair city. I am sure a careful study will show no appreeiable change in the climate of this earth since the early historic times Of course nothing here adduced touches climatic changes an glacial times or in prehistoric times, which changes have been established eeyond question.

HOTTEST PLACE.
The Merc2ry Reaches 14o Degrees on
 the Persian Gulf.

Lloyd's Weekly; When we wilt, ficting temperature of our hottest summer days, we have one unfailing consolation--it is hotter somewhere else. In one region only of the ter. restrial surface is such relief denied. That region is the hottest place on earth-sthe unhappy area in which the agonized inhabitant is overwhelmed with the fact that anywhere and every where else in the world the weather is delightfully."- cool-by comparison. All will be glad to know just where the hottest place on earth is. In times past there has been much disputation over the subject. but the authorities are now agreed on the spot I am about 10 name. Guriously enough, this ter rito1y is Hot q desert, not Fort Yuma, not even the Arizona plains, although a poet well described them by declar- ing that the lost spirits, wandering from their internal abode, stood on the 5or- ders of that region, with eyes blinded by the suns reflected glare, then in terror hurried back to their sulphurous lalses-to avoid the heat. t.-No, the hot test place in the world is, with all re- spcct to ocean summer resorts, on the seashore.Z The region of maximum temperature is an extensive area OF the Persian gulf a part of the south western coast of Persia. This territory includes the Bahrein or Aval islands. June, July and August are terrific, un- endurable save to the natives and hid- eous to them. Day after day the mer- eury will mark more than 100 degrees in the shade. By day here I mean the diurnal twenty-four hours. Think e. it, you who look with fearful eyes on the thermometer that registers 100 de- grees at noontime. Imagine the horror of striking match at midnight and reading 11a degrees. It hardly seems possible, yet it is officially declared that this frightfuI heat not excess siye-in that country. Often 40 de- grees in the shade is attained in the afternoon. The islands are a little group, named after the 1argest-Bah= rein. They lie between latitude 9 de- grees 30 minutes and .26 degrees 30 minutes north and longitude 50 degrees and 50 degrees 30 minutes east. Bah rein itself is about twenty-seyen miles long and ten miles broad. The popu- lation of the group is 75.000. The na- lives are for the most part Arabs, goY- erned by shetkh, who pays tribute to the sultan of Oman.

MICE HAVE A STANDING IN LAW
They Figured in a Recent Contest Over
 Land Ownership

AAAt1t O9 3GE5&iIs
 From the Spokane. Review The land-contest case in which a family of miee played Q prominent part has been decided on the appeal to Binger Hermann. commissioner of the gen eral land Gfdce at Washington. The rodents are not mentioned in the deei- sion, but the man whom it was claimed allowed the mice to establish resi- dence in ais bed is allowed to retain possession of lis homestead, the rul- ng Of tie local land office being re- rersed ard the contest dismissed. A peculiar feature of the case is that when t2te= family of mice was first men toned il was tended that their presence in the bed of the entryman irgued an abandonment of the home stead, and tha local land office appar- sntly too. the same view of the mat. ter But when the decision was ap pealed from it was set up that the presence of the mice was an argument favor of the homesteader. Fred 0 Grutt was the entryman, having taken 1p homestead near Davenport three years az. Last August John O,Neii instituted q contest to the homestead entry, alleging that Grutt had aban- doned the claim, did not keep up continuous residence thereon, and that the only inhabitants of the shanty on the ranch were a family of mice After hearing the case the registrar and receiver decided that Grutt's en. try should be eanceled. From this de- cision Grutt had sixty days in which to file an appeal to the commissioner at Washington. The appeal was filed by Leo Walton, attorney for Grutt h the appeal the mice family was re- ferred to as follows: eff there were any mice in this entryman's bed dur ing the early part of September, 1898, it plainly shows that the entryman did have bed on the land at the time"

FILLING UP SIBERIA.
By This Method Russia Cuts Down Her
 Great Surplus.

Since the commencement of the Trans Siberian railway immigration te Siberia has developed with enormous strides, says the London Leader. Be- tween 1882 and 1885 only $50, 900 per- sons entered the country, viz, 50,90S every year. Tn 1896 the numbers sud- denly sprung up to 203, ,000; in 1898 they reached 205, GOO. The immigra- ytcn is conducted by committee Of officials. whose members portion out the land through which the Lew rail- way runs. Up to the present moment 5,000 GOO acres have been occupied, and this comprises all the available agricultural land. But, notwithstand- Ing, the Russian government allows thousands of immigrants still to swarm into Siberia, and to go to ruin in the barren and miserable marsh lands. The reason of the governments apathy is due to the fact that the officials wish thus to get rid of the starving thou sands in European Russia. There IS no etVflizfag influence with these fresh immigrants. The majority are beg gars with scarcely more intelligence than the Asiatics already in Siberia. The filling up of Siberia by the pres ent-day# process is nothing less than the useless saeridee of =theQsaads of 6anless beings,

A Rare Find.

\ rare find in the shape of moa'a egg has been made in mining dis trict in Central Otago. There was a fall of earth in a dredging claim, and presently the huge egg was seen float Ing uninjured in the water. The dis covery is the more interesting from the fact that this is the second perfect moa's egg that has ever been found. The only other perfect specimen was nnearthed by a man while digging ir the alluvial soil at the Kaikoura noun tains in the early sixties. This egg. which was nine inches in length and seven inches in breadth. was taken to England and sold for 100 guineas Some idea of the size of these eggs may be rleaned from the fact that a mans hat makes an excellent egg-cup for them.

 The anti-department store law of Missouri went into effect recently. It Imposes a license fee of from $500 to $500 a year on all classes of goods designated by it and sold in any store giving employment to fifteen or more persons. The license commissioner, each city having one decides whether the fee shall be minimum, maximum or intern ate There are depart ment stores in Missouri that deal in ninety and more different classes of goods. At minimum rate, such stores would be compelled to pay from S27,- 900 year upward in taxes.
