There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
needles, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio. is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

FUN MAKERS AT MILWAUKEE,.
Final Day of the Carnival Given Over
to Fancy COstumed individuals
Who Make Merry.

Milwaukee, June 3O.-The last day
of the carnival was given over to the
carnival corso, when the fun makers
in fancy costumes had their usual
parade. The corso boundaries ex-
tended over Grand avenue and Wis
consin street to the extent of a mile,
and there was no end to merry-mak-
ing throughout the day.
The parade of the funny fellows
moved in the afternoon, and consisted
of seven big divisions, interspersed
with all kinds of music and frolic.
Rex was the star and the only atom
of dignity of the parade. There were
1,5OO paraGers in line, each having
striven to render himself more ludi-
crous than the other. Every club in
the city took prominent parts and
brought out some very handsome
floats. There was no end to confetti
throwing and the police had nothing
to do but look on, excepting where
rowdyism went beyond the limit.
The corso frolics extended through
out the afternoon.
The carnival came to a close at night,
with a reception and ball at the Deutch-
err and Calumet clubs. About 5000 per-
sons attended.

THE OREGON DISASTER.
Report That the big BattIeshIp Was
Aground Near Chefoo, China,
IA Confirmed.

Washington, July 2.-The navy de-
partment has received a cabiegram
from Capt. Wilde, of the Oregon, dated
Chefoo, Saturday confirming the report
that his ship is aground so miles from
Taku. The Iris and another relief
ship are now with the Oregon. The
point where the Oregon grounded Is
so miles west-northwest of Chefoo'
Taku is $50 miles west of Pinnacle
rock, where she struck.
The following dispatches were re-
ceived at the navy department Satur-
day morning relative to the grounding
of the Oregon:
''Chefoo, June 29.-Secretary Navy: An

Pinnacle rock, where the Oregon ran
aground, is about 25 feet high and
lies 2-3 miles south of Howki island
and about ~ north-northeast Of the
island of Siao Lu Shan. The rock is
encircled ny shoal and should not be
approached nearer than three cables
Capt. Wilde's statement of the in
iuries sustained by the Oregon is
scarcely sufficient to enable the navaI
constructors here to form a definite
opinion as to the prospects of saving
the famous ship. They say, however
the ship probably can be saved, if the
weather does not become rough, but
unfortunately this is the season Of
storms in Chinese waters.
