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 pro-
nounced it local disease. and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incura bile.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and; therefore,
requires a constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney &c Co., Toledo. Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in

Altogether the article is a strong one
and is not as tiresome as most of his
writings are. He is very optimistic and
closes with: what these people call
Imperialism is only mirage in the
heated air of politics-and it will entire
1y disappear when the snow flies again.
He sticks closely to his text-very close
ly for Mr.. PETER, and has nothing to say
in regard to the value of the islands
from a commercial point of view or the
management of the war, two things to
which every writer who has touched
on the question has devoted much
space. OF course they had nothing to
do with the subject, but there was a
splendid chance to bring them in and

SOCIETY ARRAIGNED.
New York Pastor Takes Newport
People to Task.

Newport, r. l., Aug. Sunday golf
and the favorite diversion among the
summer colony, of bridge whist for
stakes, were denounced, and the fashion
able folk who play them We're severely
arraigned, by Rev. DR.. Braddin Hamll-
ton, of New York, in his sermon at All
Saints chapel yesterday morning. The
congregation represented the most Elk
elusive social circle of the country.
In part DR.. Hamilton said, after telling
how the whole country looks upon its
society people the leaders:
--Show the people of this country that
the boastful, vulgar brtainless spend
thrift is not the ideal citizen of this
country. There are a good many people
who might be excused if they spend
Sunday in recreation and amuSements.
but the people of Newport have no such
excuse, and the young men or young WO-
men who will desert church on Sunday
morning and go and play golf have very
little respect for themselves and far less
ing in the wrong. Another example, the
last and probably the most important
is the introduction of petty gambling.
We have reason to believe, with great
regret, that such a custom has been
practiced and is being practfced in many
of the cottages at Newport this season
1t is safe to say that If gambling is eS-
tablished here as an amusement in re-
spectacle homes. inside of a year this
country will have TO- 00o, 600 more gamb-
lers than it has today, and the majority
of them will start in their humble flats
surrounded by bare walls just as limo

NEWSBOY'S AERIAL TRIP.
EntangIed in Balloon Ropes Ascends
Two Thousand Feet

Pana, ILL.,, Aug. AT the picnic ami
fish fry given at Auburn yesterday the
wife of Professor J. Bonansinga, the
aeronaut, was advertised to make a bal
loon ascension and parachute leap When
everything was ready for the start
Harry Gray, a newsbOy of Springfield
who was holding one of the guy ropes,
became entangled in it and was carried
up with the balloon.
Mrs Bonansinga. fearing that he would
fall upon the parachute and cause both
of them to lose their lives, cut loose from
the balloon when a short distance from
the ground. Gray held to the rope and
was carried fully 1000 feet in the air
The balloon slowly descended and Gray
was safely landed, paralyzed with fright,
but otherwise uninjured.

AwARp on THE oTrY PRINTINa


The city printing question, which has
thrown the morning paper into hys-
terics, has at last been settled, and the
world will now be permitted to move
on. The city council allowed itself to
be bulldozed and brow beaten, and the
State Journal has only words of SYM
pathy for the men who proved too weak
to Withstand the onslaught of the local
political bosses.
The State Journal does not claim to
be the organ of any party, faction or
clique; it's mission is simply that Of a
newspaper, and it will continue to pub
lish the news without fear or favor, and
without securing the consent of any
person, great or small
The State Journal made no campaign
for the city printing. The small finan-
cial consideration is not essential to it's
existence. and can do but little towards
bolstering up the falling fortunes OF
any party organ. The State Journal
was complimented by the disposition
shown two weeks ago to have the off,
cial city publication made in a. paper
which everyone reads.
If members of the city council who
took an obligation in the committee
meeting, legal or otherwise, to vote for
the State Journal as the official city
paper, have eased their consciences by
changing their positions, they are to be
congratulated. The State Journal will
never attempt by personal threats, or
promises of reward, to force any pub
lie officer to stultify himself.
Councilmen Warner Morgan and Ell
lott are to be congratulated for their
refusal to surrender to policy of brow
beating and intimidation. 1t is safe to
say that as long as there are such men
in the city council there is little danger
that the interests of the city will be
placed in jeopardy because of the weak
ness of members of the city govern
ment.
The State Journal viii continue to
print all the news concerning the acts
of the city council and the city admin
istration. Those who want reports I'M
tainted by partisan prejudice will find
them in the State Journal. Questions
of a public nature win be handled as
they have always been, with absolute
fairness to everyone.
