The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded 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 a
constitutional disease, requires con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list Of testi-
monials.

worthy performance WAS the hammer

of 1876 feet half inch. He holds the inter
collegiate record Of 154 feet 1-2 inches
made at the inter collegiate games last
week. In practice just before the contest
Plaw threw the hammer 40 feet six
inches, beating the worlds record of 1871
feet s inches held by John Flanagan of
the n. Y. A. c.
Pennsylvania won the pole vault and
running broad jump by default. John
Hoffman was the only man entered by
Californian the former event. He COM
planned Of an injured knee and declined
TO compete. C. X. Broughton and Roy
Woolsey were entered in the running
broad jump, but decided not to partici-
pate. The track events were closely con-
tested Pennsylvania winning every race.
This accounts for Pennsylvania large
score as first counted five points and sec
ond three points.
