THE LITTLE SICKNESSES


A little cold in the head is a trff1e, but
if neglected and it hangs on from week
lungs it is no longer trifie 1t is then
no longer a slight cold but the begin
ming of chronic catarrh.
Do not make the mistake of thinking
you have no catarrh because the head
and nose appear to be clear. If there is
cough, tickling in the throat. hoarseness
or a sense of oppression in the chest you
have throat and bronchial catarrh If
the appetite is poor, ma usea. gagging and
disgust for food, especially in the morn
ing, you have catarrh of the stomach.
The surest and safest treatment for
every form of catarrh is an internal
remedy which acts especially on the
blood and mucous membranes.
Such a remedy is the new catarrh
cure, sold everywhere by druggists IN
der name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a
medicine in pleasant, convenient tablet
form and containing all the best and lat
est specifics for catarrh, whether loca-
ted in nose, throat, bronchial tubes or
stomach.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
of Sanguinaria, Guaiacol Red Gum and
similar antiseptics which destroy the
germs of catarrh in the blood, and no
one who suffers from any form Of
catarrh and has seen the uselessness of
sprays, douches, and powders will ever
go back to them after once trying so
convenient, pleasant and harmless a
remedy as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
one which gives relief in so short a
time.
Even in cases where catarrh has
effected the senses of smell and hearing
these tablets accomplish a cure beca use
the blood being cleansed of catarrh
germs, the mucous surfaces of the nose
and throat no longer clog up the res
piratory passages with catarrhal Sc
creti0ns.
All druggists sell ful1-sized treatments
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for the nom
inaI price of SO cents, and the regular
daily use of them Will effectualIy cure
this troublesome and dangerous dis
ease.

AN OPEN LETTER
To Healer Russelle.

Topeka, Dec. 6, 1900
Dear Sir:-It is with a heart filled
with gratitude to you, that 1 add my
testimony to that of the many others
who have been cured of their bodily ills,
under your treatment. Thirty-six years
go l was taken down at Huntsville, Al
ALBANIA, with rheumatism, which affect
ed me all over.
During all the many years until the
DIST of last month I suffered intensely
with excrucia ting pains-I could not sleeo
at highland in spite of continuous
medical treatment gradually grew
worse until l became crippled, one of my
legs was drawn up and for the past 8
and difficulty on clutches [ cannot find
words to describe the terrible naisery I
suffered.
All efforts to relieve my intense suffer-
ings failed utterly, and 1 was much worn
with constant pain and want of sleep. In
this pitiable condition 1 was taken to
Healer Russelle and placed myself under
his treatment; the result being wonder
full My pains which were constant and
eXcruciating began to disappear the very
moment he placed his hands upon me.
My limbs which were almost useless
were infused with new strength, and
grew stronger every hour until now
can walk without crutches or cane as
well as any one. I have not had an ache
or pain since Healer Russelle of 122 W.
9Th St, Cor Jackson placed his hands
upon me I am now strong and hearty
and in perfect health.
Many in our city knew Of my helpless
condition, besides those 1 would refer all
dOubteTS to every comrade of Lincoln
Post No. 1 Of which 1 am a member, as
witnesses of the wonderful cure Healer
Russelle has made in my case. My graf
itude to him knows no bounds.
Respectfully, CHAS. c. BERRY,

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Charles H. Hoyt's success as a hum
orouS writer is due to his ability to see
the ludicrous side of commonplace
things with which everybody is familiar
and present it effectively in skit or
farce. All his stage efforts have had
familiar subject, with its humorous side
turned out, as the basis for his story.
A skit on popular sUperstitions is the
foundation on which he created the
funny story of "A Brass Monkey The
revival made this season, with scenery,
mechanical effects and costumes con-
strueted after the models of the orig
inal production. will be the attraction

ROCK FELL ON THEM.
Three Men Crushed to Death at Au-
rora, Missouri

Aurora. Mo-, Dec. 6.-Oliver Berriman,
Ocord Moore and James Dodson are
dead and Bob Clevenger and Oscar
Elliott are seriously injured as the re-
suit of a fall of rock in the World
Herald mine. A large boulder fell from
the roof of the mine crushing the three
men beneath it, killing them instantly.
The crew which had just left the mines
had discharged some heavy shots and
it is thought that this Ioosened the
boulder and caused it to fall. The men
killed were all spade hands and were
engaged at the time in loading tubs at
the head of the drift, some distance
from the main shaft The injured men
win probably recover.

New York. Dec. Ga dispatch to the
Herald from Vienna says.
The reports to the effect that jewels
Of Charlotte, once Empress of Mexico,
have been discovered in the United

for smuggling. has brought forth an in
teresting letter from an artillery officer
who served under Emperor MaximiEan

He now lives at Innspruck and sends
the following to the Wiener Tageblatt:
I do not believe that the jewels
which have now turned up belonged to
Empress Charlotte. Toward the end of
the year 1866, when it could be seen with
certainty that it was impossible tomain-
tain the Mexican empire, the palace
guard was disbanded. the personnel of
the court reduced and the greater part
of the valuables packed and sent under
escort to Vera Cruz Here they were
placed on board the Novara and sent
to Mirimare."
