There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore, requires constitu
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney 4 Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internal
ly in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.
Address. F. j. CHENEY & Co., Toledo,

at this some one Uttered" Where
upon "Bonnor. the bearded, the terrific,

The Conversion Of Mckinley.

The conversion of william Mckinley
when boy was described today by the
clergyman to whom young Mckinley
went, says a Cleveland, o., dispatch In
the Sun. The minister Is Aaron d.
Morton and his residence Is 996 Central
avenue. Forty-two years ago Mr.. Nor
ton was a Methodist circuit rider and
held revival at Poland, o.. where
young Mckinley then lived with his
parents.
Mckinley was converted at a pray
er meeting" said Mr.. Morton. II re-
member the evening very well. The
congregation that night was small, al
though there had been many largely
attended meetings prior to that time
and Mckinley had attended all of
them. That evening he sat about the
middle Of the church. He was very
attentive listener. At my request for
those to stand who wished to express
a desire to become Christians he rose.
I remember his words very we'll. He
said:
"'God Is the greatest Of all beings,
and religion is the best of all things in
the world. I have determined, by the
grace Of God, to seek for 1t until find
it,
After his declaration ne attended
the revival meetings for three or four
evenings. At the expiration Of that
time he said that he found relief and
Joy In religion. He continued to be
very much interested in the meetings
and he was very attentive at the SER
vices. He pursued a strict study Of
religion and religious duties.
There was only one religious ques-
ton which troubled the young man.
He was puzzled as to whether he
should be baptized by sprinkling or BY
Immersion. Both could then be used
In the Methodist church. In a few
months. however. ne decided to be i'm
mersed with number Of others, and
having been on probation in the in
terval. he then became a MEMBER Of
the church."

man. What he was saying seemed
half to terrify. half to shock, but who'll

his every word. She looked up as the
teacher came near.
"Oh. Miss Blank" she asked, in \
voice full Of awe and Of admiration,
what is an agnostic? Mr.. Spatts
saws he is one."
The head mistress stopped short and
turned on the man look that made
his ears turn scarlet.
"An agnostic," said she, "is a very
young man who says he knows moth

thing"

of the viewers in the matter of the
opening up Of Wyoming avenue w.t.
when approved by the mayor bring
to an end the delays that have post
ponoL this necessary work Of public
Improvement. That the mayor will
concur in this manifest wish of coun-
ellis ard public and expedite the matter
is naturally assumed.
When the proposition to open Wy
oming avenue first came up. some eig1-
teen months ago there was opposition.
on the ground that the expenditure of
public money which it WOULD involve
(about s55,0oo) would at the first in
stance benefit chiefly the property
owners along that avenue. and only
incidentally benefit the community at
large. This argument was extensively
employed in the discussion ct that
time but the majority nevertheless
gave asscnt to the ordinance, viewers
were appointed, they framed their
schedule of awards AMI not until all
this had INTERVIEWED did the city
through it's legal adviser interpos,
technical objections.
In the meantime a wholly new com.
pleXion has been given to this matter
by the announcement Of the manage
ment of the International Correspond
ence schools that If Wyoming avenue
is promptly opened an immense new
printing plant, offering employment to
500 men, will be constructed in the
vicinity of Wyoming a"cuue and Ash
street. Coupled with thli is the statn-
rent that II the avenue is not opene';
the plant will no. be built until it can
have direct approach. The difference
is one involving easily S"J0,050 year
IN wages directly affecting the busl.
ness welfare of the entire community.
and it supplies a convincing reason
why the Improvement should be
fastened.
