A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which VIII Inter
est Catarrh Sufferers.


In its earlier stages catarrh is more of
a nuisance than menace to the general
health. but sooner or later the disea Sc
extends to the throat. bronchial tubes
and even to the stomach and intestires.
Catarrh is essentially disease of thu
mucous membrane the local symptoms be-
ing a profuse discharge of mucus. stop
page of the nostrils. irritation in throat
causing coughing, sneezing, gagging, and
frequent clearingS of the THREAT and
head.
The usual treatment by local dodches
snuffs. salves. etc, often gives tcmpor-
airy relief but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the in
Illumination from the mucous surfaces
A new remedy which meets these &c
quirements and which so far has bean re-
markably successful in curing catarrl is
Stuart's CataTrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hard
" be called secret patent medicine. rs
they are composed of such vllulole r. m
edies as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin, Euca-
IyptoI. and similar cleansing antiseptics.
which cure by eliminating from the blood
and mucous surfaces The catarrhal
poison.
StuartS Catarrh Tablets are .orge
pleasant tasting lozenges taken inter-
nally. allowing them TO dissolve slowly
in the mouth. In this way they reach
the throat, fauees. and the entire ali
mentary canal.
If desired. they may also be d's5olyo
in water and USED as a douche, in add
ton to the internal use, but it is not at
all necessary to use a douche; "A few CT
them dissolved in the mouth daily wi /
be sufficient. However. when there is
much stoppage OF the nose, a douche
made from these tablets viii give inIa5-
date relief, but the regular daily use
internally of these tablets will cure he
whole catarrhal trouble without resort
ing to the inconvenience OF doucne.
DR.. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of douching and
local application. and further says that
probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the market
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret
is made of their composition, and all the
really efficient remedies for catarrh are
contained in tlis tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at so cents for full sized packages. Ask
your druggist and If he is honest he will
tell you there is no safer. more palata-
BILE, more efficient and convenient remedy
on the market.

Proceeds of Toeay's Ball Game Will
Swell the Amount.

The Galveston relief fund continues its
added to the amount already subscribed.
The baseball game between two picked
mines from ;Ae Census Bureau this after
noon at National Park will probably be
the last of the public entertainments for
the benefit of the sufferers, and as much
interest is being manifested and there has
been large advance sale of tickets, it is
more than likely that the proceeds will
amount to a considerable sum. which will
be turned in to the general fund

Ninth Street, yesterday made a report of

TO REGULATE THE MARKETING OF CROP Natchez Democrat Attempting to
 Repeat Its Success. SAYS COTTON IS AGAIN KING Asserts on Well Founded Theory That There Will be Shortage of
 100000 Bales, and Urges
 Concerted Action
SAYS COTTON IS AGAIN KING

Natchez, Miss, August 2S.-The Natchez Daily Democrat is making another attempt to prevail upon the cotton farmers, mer- chants and bankers to regulate the market ing of the crop. After reciting the success of its effort last year, the Democrat ex- presses the hope that every newspaper in the South will lend it's best efforts to the success are even brighter today than they were one year ago. It says:
 "The harvest this year will hardly at- tain an average of 200 pounds of lint to the acre, and if it does, it will only give us 9,522, ,251 3-5 bales, while the demand will be for between 100000 and 100000 bales. According to Secretary Hester's report of August 24 the worlds visible supply of American cotton is but 621,3 bales, which of itself should convince every practical farmer that cotton has been restored to its throne. Another strong feature in favor of the farmer is the fact that the new sea- son will find the market with deficit of at least 1,4OO, ,0O0 bales, and no signs of a deficit in the consumption.
 These facts should appeal to all who are interested in the welfare and prosper ity of the cotton farmer. Every dollar added to the value of a bale of cotton is a dollar added to the wealth of the South. Every newspaper in the South should rec ognize this fact, and by publishing accur- ate statistical information for the benefit O. the farmers they will add at the lowest calculation $50, 900, 600 to the wealth of the South before another year has passed"

JOE CHOyNSKI
 SHOWED UP ILL The Bout Between Him and Peter Maher Was De-
 CIared of.

New York, August 2s.-The heavyweight fight between Peter Maher and Joe Choyn- ski, which was to have taken place at the Broadway Athletic Club tonight had to be declared off on account of Choynskrs sick ness. Choynski, who has been training on Staten Island for some time past came up to the city this afternoon and went to his room in the Colonade Hotel, next door to the club house. About o'clock he had an attack of stomach trouble and a physician was hurriedly summoned. The doctor, after examining Choynski, said that he was totally unfit to take part in any ring contest and as soon as the mana ger, Michael Paddsn, heard of this he im- medately declared the bout of and rs. funded the money to the few spectators wtb had already paid for admission.
 1hoynski is not seriously afflicted, but it Mi be impossible for him to meet MaAer before the expiration of the Horton law, which allows boxing in this State.

about 3:30 with a blast from her own whistle and like answer from the Texas and a fleet of tugs gathered there with ex- cursionists. Afterwards the ship was again circled at full speed, with the Texas as the center, until she was cleaving a wake which in diameter was nto over twice her length. Fifteen minutes later the Ala bama was headed for Boston light, the red flag of the trial replaced by the Cramps house flag and broom had been sent aloft.
 The trial throughout, to use D. S. Cramps own words, was a success in every partic- ular. For nearly three legs of the outward run the boilers made steam so fast that the surplus was allowed to blow off, The maximum revolutions of the engines were 11S, and this figure was only for half hour, the mean being much below this. The highest steam pressure was 1S0 pounds or under the limit. The horsepower. de- veloped was supposed to be 11,500 although these figures, like those of the speed, will be officially given at Washington. MT. Cramp said that the run, in his opinion, in which many of the naval men aboard agreed, was not a forced triad, but fair days work, which, he claimed, can be equalled at any time under ordinary con- ditions. The Alabama will be ready for delivery to the Government in six weeks, when she will go into commission under Captain W. H. Brownson.

KENTUCKY SOLONS
 IN EXTRA SESSION Their Purpose is to Change the
 .Goebel Election Law. BECKHAM SENDS MESSAGE Says the Measure is Good One. But Fractional Prsjudice is Engender-
 ed Against It-Vote on Re
 peal Will be Close
BECKHAM SENDS MESSAGE

Frankfort, Ky, Aug 2S.-The Kentucky Legislature convened in extra session this afternoon. There were seven absent in the house and two in the Senate. In the Sem ate, Dyer succeeded Hill, deceased; Wat kins succeeded Bell deceased; Tolin suc- ceeded Furnish, resigned, and Harbeson succeeded William Goebel, who was killed last January. Both houses adjourned after hearing read Governor Beckham's brief message, which stated that the only pur- pose for which the session was called was to amend the State election law. The mes- sage stated that the law was a good one, but that party and factional prejudice had been engendered against it to such an ex- tent that it was thought best to make changes before another election was held. The message concludes:
 Imaginary ills whether political or phy- sical, should be treated as well as real ones. Your task in this matter Is difficult one. You cannot satisfy everybody. do not desire to suggest in detail any law for your consideration. I have confidence in your judgment and wisdom, and I believe that you will earnestly and periodically set to work to frame law in appearance as we'll as in fact so fair, ss just to all par ties that no honest citizen can find fault with it."
 Vote VIII be Close
 The Republican minority will wait for the Democratic majority to take the inl- tiative Both sides admit that vote to repeal the Goebel law would be close and probably such motion would be lost. Democrats say the Senate will be a tic 19 to 19 but that in the House the Demo- crats have a comfortable majority and can defeat an outright repeal.
 Republican leaders say they will have a majority of one in the Senaae in favor of repeal and have good chance of carrying the bill through the house. It Is the opin- ion here tonight that a fair election law in the form of amendment to the Geobel la'E will be passed. There are scores of elec- ton bills for consideration.
 At a caucus of the Democratic members of the House tonight the following nomina- tions were made:
 Clerk, E. O. Leigh of Paducah; sergeant at-arms, William P. Thorne, Jr., of Emil hence; doorkeeper, John E. Miles of Frankfort.
 Mr. Leigh was clerk at the last session but resigned yesterday so as to be re-elect- ed and make his title to the office clear. It was thought he had probably forfeited the office by becoming private secretary to the Governor.

Boston, August 2S.-There is a new queen of the American navy, the United States battleship Alabama, which today won the title in one of the most magnifi- cent speed trials yet held in the history of the navy. Her average speed for four hours continuous steaming was F knots, a figure not quite as high as that made by the Iowa, but notable from the fact that 1t gave an idea of the yet undeveloped power in this latest product of An .rican ship building The Alabama was built by the Cramps at Philadelphia, and while of the first class she is unlike any of the earleir creations both architecturally and as a fighting machine. Built under a con- tract that required at least an average speed of 16 knots per hour she has been turned out to do 17 knots or better under conditions that will not be termed extra.
 The Iowa. when she left her builders hands in 1897. was officially recorded at T.04. Her speed trial was made under the very best possible conditions. After lapse of more than two years the Ken lucky on September ?, and the Kearsarge, two months later, came to the New Eng land coast and, under favorable, but not
