ABOUT cATARRH CURES.
The Reason Why Inhalers and Local
Applications are Useless.

For many years catarrh was consid-
cred TO he n local disease and was
treated entirely by local remedies,
salves. oIntments. powders. sprays and
inhalers, and nearly all OF these gave
n temporary relief, but d genuine, per-
inanent cure was very rare.
1t Is true that most annoying symp-
toms. like stoppnge Of the nose and
throat trouble. are purely local, but
they are simply symptoms and the
real seat of disease Is far removed.
Catarrh is II constitutional disease,
a blood disorder, complicated usually
with disease of the liver and to sup
pose that local applications of sprays,
powders ,inhalers could ever reach the
real cause of the trouble is ridiculous.
The sensible and successful treat
ment is to remove the catarrhal poison
from the system by regulating the liv-
or and purifying the blood and this
can only be done by internal remedy,
which should consist of antlscptics
and remedies to act vigorously on the
blood and liver.
The hest preparation Of this kind
which fills all the requirements of n
safe constitutional treatment is Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, composed of
Sanguinaiia, Eucalyptol, Guaicol and
similar wholesome antlseptics, which
are absolutely safe to take into the
stomach and which act upon the liver,
stomach and mucous membrane.
Stuart's Catnrrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozengcs TO be slowly
dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching
the mucous membrane and wind-pipc
and finally reaching the stomach.
Or. Edmondson. in speaking Of the
new treatment for catarih. says: u
have accomplished the most satisfac-
tory results in all forms of catarrh of
the head, throat, bronchial tubes, as
well as catarrh of the stomach and liv-
er by using nothing else but Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets. I long since threw
aside sprays and inhalers as being in
convenient and mt the best mere tenn
porary make-shifts. Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets act Immediately upon the liver
and blood and clear the whole system
of catarrhal poison. They are pleasant
and very convenient to Use and
they are not only the latest, but be-
lieve them to be the best and certainly
the safest treatment for any form of
catarrh."
All druggists sell Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets at 80 cents for full sized pack
ages.

catarrh mailed free by addressing the

BAKE THEMSELVES ALIVE.
Russian Fanatics Thus Obtain Re-
lease From Trouble.

1ease From Trouble.
Baking themselves in huge roaring
ovens is the climax Of emotional en-
thusiasm and self sacrifice of a
strange sect of Russians. They are the
Begonny, and they live In the village
of Ternowo, near Tiraspol.
The sect's origin was rather political
and economical than religious, their
agltations having always been direct
ed toward greater personal liberty and
political power for individual members
of society.
They demand the abolition of docu-
ments for proving identity and also the
abolition of the necessity for the pass
port. They repudiate compulsory mill
tary service, and If forced to bear arms
they are liable to emotional enthusi-
asm, leading to self sacrifice. The
form of death which they adopt is usu-
ally burial while alive, but occasional
ly it Is self destruction by fire.
When the last great sacrifice of the
sect was made, the people adopted the
voluntary cremation method as a
from their troubles. On a single day
four families went out from a village
and did themselves TO death. A huge
oven was built, and into 1t those who
voluntarily decided to die plunged
themselves.
The people who lacked the necessary
enthusiasm or strength of mind or who
u.
tempting the great achievement knelt
and prayed while they wept for their
relatives and friends, whose charrcd
bones they kissed in au ecstasy Of af-
fection and admiration.

PRlZEFlGHTlNG PREACHER.
How Pastor A1teIl Made Personal
Wgr on Sin.

War on Sin.
The position of the Rev. Jay ]. Axtell
Is pretty firmly fixed in Michigan. 1t Is
true that some of the members of the
Congregational church of Royal Oak, of
which he is the pastor, think it dreadful
that he should have fought a prizeGght
with a saloon keeper. Soon after Mr..
Axtell went to Royal Oak things became
monotonous for him, and he entered upon
personal fght against sin. There was
trouble right away, and Mr.. Axtell was
warned to stop his attacks.
During his campaign the preacher went
to the two saloon keepers In the town
and told them he wanted them to do two
thngs-one was to obey the law and
the other was to buy a new bell for the
church. These suggestions didn't please
them.
Now Axtell had worked by the day for
both these men and they had difficulty in
separating his ministerial and personal
relationships. A few minutes before he
had bought bottle Of cocktails, which
the saloon keeper supposed he was selling
to the workman and not to the minister.
Mr.. Axtel went directly from the sa-
loon to his pulpit and preached a tre-
mendous sermon. He attacked the mem
bers of his congregation who frequented
the saloons and told Of those he had seen
there that very evening, calling them by
name.
Dondero threatened to punch Mr.. Ak
tells head the first time he met him.
He also said he would drive the preacher
out of town. q. j. Kenny bet Dondero
81 that he couldn't punch Mr.. Axtell's
head.
Now the talk developed this situations:
Either Mr.. AXtell must fight the saloon
keeper or leave town. At least that Is
the way the preacher looked at it, Mr..
Axtell decided to fight, notwithsto nding
the fact that Dondero had had exneri-

THE POLICE JUNK SHOP.
Aid. schwarz's Ordinance Aims to
Get rid of Ut.

Alderman Schwarz' ordinance. introduce
ed at the meeting Of City Council Friday
night providing that all personal property
taken from persons at the barracks. and
which is not called for within six months
after the arrest is made be sold and the
proceeds turned into the police reserve
fund, meets with the approval Of Supt
Screven.
The stuff taken from prisoners consists
mainly OF watches, and various wea pons
knives, pistols and knucks. These If Of
any value are, as a rule. called for as
soon as the prisoner is released or has
served out mis- time but still numbers are
never called for either on account of
their small value or the impression that
obtains among many of the negro prs-
oners that all weapons found on them
are eontiscated, and that it would be use
less, therefore to apply for them.
Whatever the cause may be, the fact
remains that there Is n the barracks a
large and varied assortment OF pistols and
watches, not to mention many other
articles, that has been there not for
months, but for years, and which the en-
ployes who are burdened with their Gus
tody would like to be relieved of.
In Just what manner these articles will
be disposed of should the ordinance be
passed has not yet been decided.

NOT FAIR TO DEWEY.
Editors and Headline Men Put the
Admiral in n Wrong Position.

The fame Of the Savannah brew of ar
tiEery punch is abroad in the land. From
Key West to Tacoma, from San Diego to
Boston il has spread, and scarce a paper
in the land has not had its paragraphs
to marvel at the strength of anything
that could lay the great Dewey low.
When the news was flashed over the
wires from Savannah that night that the
Admiral had been taken i'll on the river,
as a result of his indulgence in punch aud
chicken salad. IL was recognized as somc-
thing that the great American public
would deVOur the next morning with avid
ity. Doubled leaded and formidaby in
troduced by headlines of fearful size the
story met the gaze Of the people by whom
Dewey has been idolized.
But all the editors we're not fair to the
rsdoubtab bic fighter. They may have fear
ed that there was more behind the report
than they had received, and, 10 prevent
any chance Of their missing the real meat
Of the news, rather glaringly insinuated
in their heads that it was not the potency
of one but Of many glasses that had
caused the great navigator to grow sick
upon a voyage down the Savannah river.
Punch OF the artillery brew has long
been famed in song and story. 1t Is in
digenOus TO Savannah, and some Of its
greatest victories have been won in this
city. II is not wine when il is red" and
the Biblical injunction is oftumes forgot

strong man could be laid low by that
beverage of no particular color The adj
dition of Admiral Dewey to its list Of
victims win add to the fame Of the punch
loreyermOre, and his name Will be conned
over with others. great and not so great,
who have succumbed to the power of its
ingredients.
Seriously, though. the Admiral has been
done a great injustice by many publica-
lions. Gentlemen who were on the trip
and who partook OF the lunch with him
regret that the intimation should be given
that his Indulgence in the punch was
excessive. But one glass was all he took
and his contribution TO the destruction
of the salad was but slight 1t was the
two that did the work
Seated in the Captains cabin on the
Hamilton, the Admiral hoped that his in
disposition would be passing and that he
might rejon the crowd on deck But
it was noted that his face was very pale,
like that Of one in physical pain, while
great drops of Precipitation stood upon
his forehead, some having trickled to
his coat collar. Unable to longer bear
his discomfort, he hauled down the flag,
when he said: 1.-THE combination of that
punch and salad was too much for me-"

MIR. LEAKEN is RETICENT.
Says Though, There's No Republican
Candidate for Congress Yet.

In an interview in yesterdays Morning
News, Congressman Rufus e. Lester ex-
pressed the opinion that he would have
opposition for Congress, and that Mr. Will
lam r. Leaken would be the standard
bearer of the Republican party in this
district
When Mr.. Leaken was seen In reference
to this statement, he said that Col Les
ter was not authorized to make IT, and
that the Colonel knew about the matter
just what was known by everybody else
nothing. Mr.. Leaken seemed to take it
somewhat amiss that his nomination for
Congress-, as the candidate of the Repub-
lican party, should come from the present
Democratic representative only.
When urged to state whether or not he
would make the race for the nom nation
Mr.. Leaken would not commit himself
one way or the other He reiterated that
as yet there is no candidate and that no.
body knew, admitting that there was to
be one. which he didn't, who the candi-
date would be. Mr.. Leaken seemed to
think that the statement Of Col. Lester
was in the nature of an attempt to make
him declare himself but this he declined
to Go.
