Tho unseemly 'chaln Of prayer

BY the officers OF the National Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. II
has alrS been repudiated by local and
state organizations. The ortginators
OF the plan to have the temperance
women Of the several states pray for
the defeat OF President Mckinley have
been rebuked. and the attempt to
make the w. G. r. q. an annex OF the

failed.
This was inevitable. The appeal TO
pray for the defeat Of Mckinley was
addressed to women Of common sense
and patriotic impulse ns wen as to
those who nre simply hysterical fanat-
scs. Women whose husbands, fathers,
or brothers are earnest Republicans
were asked to pray Tor the defeat OF
the Republican party. They were ask
ed not to pray in secret, but TO make
public record of their irreverenee. They
were not only to prny rs individuals.
but AZ an organization, and to do their
utmost to make this new scheme Of
eiectioneering successful.
The sheer efYruptery OF the PROPOSE

decided that these three were Wozfh

were raised and temporary repairs made

that we sunk the ships. reported that
we destofyed them. l did see with my

stern Of the Reina Maria Christina, Ad-
mirai Monteto's flagship. and that de-
stroyed her.

one dread d disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure new known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly ur on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
