Death Widely DepIored.

Death is always to be regretted, but
sometimes the visits of the reaper oc-
casion more than the usual amount of
sorrow. Such an occasion was the de-
mise of Miss Estella B. Commerford
daughter of Mrs. Anna and the late
Jas. iCommerford, which occurred Fri
day morning at five o'clock, at the
family residence, No. 1920 Chapline
street Only in her twenty-third year,
she was beloved and esteemed by n
wide circle of friends and acquaint-
ances, and particularly by the members
of the Kings Daughters, in which or
ganization she was an indefatigable
worker and a general favorite. Her
Chief ambition was to do good, and in
many ways and at all times her earnest
efforts were not only available for the
furtherance of the aims and objects of
that organization, but in church work
generally, and her absence hencefortE

Tonight Rev. R. r. Bigger. Phi. D.,

mons at the Third Presbyterian church
on the subject, What is the Church
Doing for the Working People?"
There will be six or eight lectures
in the course, one being given each Sun
day evening until the course is COM
pleted.
Two thousand hand bills have been
distributed through the mills and fac
tories inviting che working people TO
hear these lectures. Mr.. Bigger is great

pathise with them in all their struggles.
Besides this, Mr.. Bigger has made a
special study of social questions, hav-
sociology. For more than two years he
has been gathering the material for
these lectures.
He believes that ne cab show that the
church is doing more to better the con-
dition of the laboring class than any
other organization in existence. Not
only Is this true socially. but also in a
material way. No doubt these lectures
will be largely attended by all classes
of people. Ushers will meet people at
the door and take them to any part
of the auditorium in which they desire
to be seated. The seats in this church
have always been free.

RAILING GAVE WAY.
South Side Man Severely Injured
Yesterday Morning by Falling
From n Porch.

From a Porch.
A very painful accident occurred yes
terday morning at Mrs. Burkes board
ing house at Main and Twenty-fourth
streets, the victim being Homer Ma
honey, one of the boarders. Mahoney
and another boarder, and Patrick Elan
agan, were standing on an upstairs
porch, leaning against the railing, lis
tening to Joe Miller, who was standing
near them, reading aloud a political
speech in a morning paper.
The railing suddenly gave way under
the weight of the two men, and Ma
honey fell into the yard, distance OF
about twenty feet, sustaining severe in
juries. He had his left arm broken at
the elbow and was badly shaken UP.
Flanagan was falling backward, when
Miller caught him by the leg He man
aged to hold him until another board
err came to his assistance, and Flana-
gan was soon lifted up to the porch
out of danger. Had it not been tor
Millers assistance Flanagan might
have sustained very serious injuries.
Mahoney received the necessary sur
gical aid, and his condition was slight
ly improved last evening.

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common
Disease.

Disease.
Mark Twain's cure for a cold in
the head was simple. but he claims
very effective in his own case; his
plan was to eat nothing whatever
for twenty-four hours or presum-
ably until the trouble had disap-
peared.
Although not able to speak from
personal experience as to the effec-
tiveness of this treatment, 1t GER
tainly has the merit of extreme
economy, but it occurs to US that
the application of 1t TO case of
nasal catarrh might be attended
with difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, is
chronic cold in the head, and Mr..
Twain's treatment. II Ii should be-
come fad, would make OF us ma
ton of fasters; an army. emulating
the example OF the immortal Tan
ner, who achieved world wide fame
by fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a
national disease and there is little
doubt but that errors in diet, par
ticularly over eating, Is very COM
mon cause
Most people, however, are more
interested in the cure of the trouble
than in the cause, and modern med
ical science has produced more eff
fectiye and less heroic remedies
than Mr.. Twain's.
Gualacol is new remedy. very
effective in some forms of Cataarh.
Euealyptol is another which on &C.
count OF its antiseptic properties. is
very valuable. while many severe
cases of Chronic Catarrh have been
entirely cured by the sanguinaria or
extract of Blood root alone.
Within a year an enterprising
chemist has combined all of these
remedies in tablet form. palatable
and convenient and the superiority
of this tablet over other catarrh
remedies is so apparent that all
druggists now carry them.in stock
to supply the popular demand.
They are called Stuart's Cataarh
Tablets, and ii is doubtful If any
medicine has achieved a national
popularity in so short a time as
this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used
by thousands OF travelling men be-
cause they can be carried in the
pocket and used any time and in
any quantity being free from Co
caine. opiate or any poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat
from the disgusting secretions of
catarrh, very often in a few hours
time.
For nasal Catarrh they are far
superior to any wash, lotion or ONT
ment, the use of which is often as
inconvenient and annoying as the
disease itself.
For coughs, cold. bronchial ca
tarrh and catarrh of the stomach
these tablets give immediate relief
and permanent cure where To-
tions, douches and jnhalers make no
impression whatever.
This preparation is a boon to ca
tarrh sufferers and any druggist will
tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets is a remedy that has come to
stay.

The workmen we're engaged yesterday in

Fourth street, at the lower end of the Riv-

far north as the Riverside tanks, so it Is

base of the hill at this point. it was neces-

the track clear of rocks and gravel that
rolled down the hill side, while the other
men were engaged in grading.
