There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
eether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurabIe. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It IS
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case i

Beers Pie jaring for Final Sts nd.

London, June 1S.-4.20 A. M.-There
are some Indications that Lord Roberts
considers the end Of the struggle in
South Africa not far distant. One Of
these is the fact that the Natal Vol
unteers, who had seen hard service
were dismissed to their homes by Sir
Redvers Butler, Saturday. They were
cheered as they left his camp.
Another indication is the report cur
rent in authoritatively informed mill
tary circles in London, that complete
division Of regulars is to be Withdrawn
from Gen. Buffers army and embarked
At Durham for China. The troops drawn
from India will probably go next.
Lord Roberts let yesterday go by
without telcgraphing.
The correspondents are, as they have
been for 10 days. silent. Unofficial in
teligencel from Machadodorp via Lou
renZO Marquee is to the effect that the
British troops are near Midlebury The
Boar narrative Of the fighting east of
Pretoria, posted on a bulletin board
outside of President Kruger's car at
MachadodOrp, ran thus: The COM
mandoes east of Pretoria, in the direc-
tion Of Bro0khorst spruit, We're com
peeled to retire after a fierce stand Of
more than two days in a way that won
the admiration of the acting cOmman-
dant general. The short rifle fire was
very hot and for part of the second
day. especially late in the afternoon,
the enemy fought at a distance of 100
yards. Our loss canot be given yet.
The acting cOmmandant general only
mentions Field Cornet Jan Van Buren,
killed. He was one of the Dluckiest
men in the field.
Information is again to hand re-
garding the miserable condition Of the
enemy's trops that have penetrated to
johannesburg and Pretoria. They con-
tinually complain Of the lack OF food
Several British soldiers have died in
the streets Of Pretoria Of exhaustion
and starvation. Along the roads lie the
corpses Of horses and mules while the
living animals are 50 weak that they
are hardly able to carry their loads"

cording to a dispatch, dated June Is.
