Legend OF st. winifred,s Well.

The following legend Is supposed to
have given its name to st. Winifred's s
well, once the most celebrated holy
well in Great Britain: Winlfred. no
BILE British maiden Of the seventh Gen.
tury. was beloved by a certain Prince
Cradocus. She repulsed his suit, and
he in revenge cut off her head. The
prince was Immediately struck dead
and the earth, opening, swallowed him,
Winifred's head rolled down the hill
and from the spot where 1t rested a
spring gushed forth. st. Bueno picked
up the head and reunited 1t to the body
so that Winifred lived for many years
life Of great sanctity, and the spring
to which her name was given became
famous for its curative powers.
The well was located in Holywell
County Flint. England, and was re-
ga"ded with great veneration during
lie middle ages. being visited by thou

Not for years, and perhaps never
before, has there been as much painting
done in Norfolk in one season .as there
has this spring. Nearly every business
block in town, which has not received
attention in the past year or. two, has
been painted and papered and they now
look generally bright andl attractive.
The era of improvement has not only
affected store buildings but residences,
some of which have not been repainted
since they were built years ago have
been vastly improved by the application
of fresh paint ;land in the country the
same evidence of prosperity is shown y
newly painted farm homes, barns aid
other buildings. There are an unusual
number of painters in the cityrand
vicinity and they have been Unusually
busy since spring first opened, 4 Those
who are observing will be hard tc
convince that business conditions yhaye
not Observation-Disclosures does not
prevail. Painting is usually one of the
last improvements made by property
owner although it should not be, for it il
an established fact thatlpainting results
in great saving to buildings.

Wouldn't it be consistent for the dem.
ocratic press to give circulation to the
fact that prices of wire, nails and other
products Of iron and steel have declined
radically in price? 1 For time this con
dition offered them very fair substitute
for the wheat and silver ratio presented
in 1896, but now they will be compelled
to look further and perhaps fare worse.
1t is evident that they are not thankful
for decline in prices against which
they have been kicking ~ they are
robbed of campaign material thereby.

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 great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires copstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney g. Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter-
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea

and mucous surfaces Of the system.

case it falls to cure. Send for circulars

The Nicaragua project has been before
congress since 1869. The first commits
sion was appointed by President Grant
in 1872. 1t reported on February Z,
1896, in favor OF the Nicaragua route.
The report of the last commission, just
made, is almost Il verbatim repetition,
in essentials, OF the first commission.
There is no need of further delay. Public
sentiment demands the canal ; all parties
have declared in favor OF it; it has been
repeatedly and officially declared by
competent men to be feasible; Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica are favorable; a
treaty can be made with England, or the
canal can be constructed without a
treaty, and so it is the duty of congress
to bear down all opposition, from what
ever quarter, and authorize without
further delay the Inauguration OF this
great work.-Portland Telegram.
