There is more Catarrh in this soc
tion CT the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease. and therefore re-
qnires constitutional remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by L. J.
Cheney Il Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonfu! 1t
acts directly on the blood and nue.
Gus surfaces of the system. They Of
fer 800 for any case of catarrh they
cannot cure. Send for circulars and

RATHBONE CASE
Additional Evidence Against Deposed
 Director of Cuban Posts

Havana, August 7.-Martin c. Fosnes, acting director general of posts, appeared for the first time personally today against Estes G. Rathbone, the deposed director and offered additional evidence in the court of first instance. Deputy Auditor Lawshe, who has been Investigating MT. Rathbone s accounts, disalows items aggregating more than $25, 900. These include unauthorized personal expenditures and stuffed pay rolls, together with a number of questionable contracts. It is probable that the trial will come on during the first week in Septem- Der.
 The question has been raised as to whether MT. Rathbone can be legally con- vcted without the presence of Nicely, the dismissed financial agent of posts, who is also charged with heavy defalcations. It is held by some that MT. Rathbone's alleged offense Is quite distinct, despite the fact that the old Spanish law requires the same tribunal to try simultaneously persons ac- cused of joint crimnality.
 Fifty cases of yellow fever are now under treatment in Havana and the disease is on the increase in Pnar del Rio. These con- ditions are said to be largely due to the advent of non-immune Spanish immigrants now amounting to some 10000.

CROP CONDITIONS
Many Complaints of Rust and Shedding
 in Cotton States

Washington, August 1.-The weather bu- reau's weekly summary of crop conditions says:
 Rains are very generally needed in the central Mississippi and lower Missouri val leys and in the Atlantic coast states from the Carolinas northward. Corn, more par ticularly the late planted, in the states of the central Mississippi and Missouri val leys would be greatly benefited by rain, but the early planted in these sections is gen. erally beyond serious injury from drouth. Generally in the Atlantic coast districts the crop has made good progress, but is begin ming to need rains in the middle Atlantic states
 Over the northern portion of the central and western districts of the cotton belt the condition has improved and while an improvement is reported from the Caro- linas, the general condition of the crop in Georgia, Florida and Louisiana is less promising complaints of rust, shedding and premature opening being numerous. In Texas the crop is from two to three weeks late, its condition in the northern portion being promising, while complaints of rank growth, shedding and ravages of insects are received from the southern part of the state,

EDMISTON REGRETS MIR. TONNES ACTION Peoples Party Will Enter the
 Campaign Vigorously. THE LEADERS WILL CONFER 
 Just What Action Will be Taken Can Not be Foretold-Populists May
 Fill Vacancy Caused by
 Towne's Withdrawal
THE LEADERS WILL CONFER

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 7.-Vice Chairman Edmiston of the Populist National Commit tee tonight gave the Associated Press the following statement on the withdrawal of MT. Towne:
 That MT. Towne has considered this matter with much patriotism, having at heart the interest of his country and dis playing his deep interest, perhaps as no other citizen in our great commonwealth we have no doubt Under these circum- stances I can understand his decision in this matter. He has proved himself to be a friend of the great common people, being possibly one of the strongest ops ponents and most faithful leaders that the country has.
 T cannot consider this action without ex- pressing my sincere regret that it has transpired.
 At Kansas City when the national com- mittee was in session, by resolution I was authorized in the event of MT. Towne' s withdrawal, to assemble the committee for the purpose of taking the same under con- sderaton, and for the further purpose of nominating naming some member of the Peoples party to fill such vacancy. This I shall do. First, before taking any official action 1 prefer to meet the cxecu- tive committee in Chicago, which was called a few days ago to met on August 9. l desire to confer with Senator Butler, as chairman of the national committee, and with the leaders of the party.
 -'I have no doubt, however, that the pa triotism and spirit for an honest govern ment will guide the action of all members of the Peoples party in their delibera ton and in considering these matters. Pending the action of the committee, I desire to assure one and all throughout the length and breadth of the country that the name of the Peoples party and its interest polit- ically and otherwise shall be protected and fostered, and we shall strive to inspire it's membership to vigorously engage in the campaign as ardently as had our candidate remained upon the ticket.
