properties. and apparently he is opposed
TO the policy Of the executive officers or
the Rock Island of unsettling the rail-
way situation in the southwest by en-
.cr0aching upon the business which the
Southern Pacific and the Santa FTe have
recently had absolutely in their own
control. The first matter to be settled
viii be the heading off of the proposed
extension Of the Rock Island to reach
FL PasO. This was first attempted
through the Pecos Valley road. which
the Santa F'e acquired in order to pre-
vent it falling into the hands of the
Rock Island As the Rock Island is
rather closely held, and has a much
smaller capitalization than either OF the
other lines. the easiest method to pursue
would be its acquisition rather than the
attempted taking up Of either of the
other properties.

a NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Effectual and Convenient
Core For Catarrh.

OF catarrh remedies, there is no end.
but of ctarrh cures, there has always
been a great scarcity There are many
remedies to relieve, but very few that
really cure.
The old practice Of snuffing salt water
through the nose would often relieve and
halers in common use are very little, If
any, better than the old fashioned salt
water douche.
The use Of inhalers and the application
of saIves, washes and powders to the
nose and throat to cure catarrh Is no
more reasonable than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is Just
as much q blood disease as kidney
trouble or rheumatism and it can not
be cured by local treatment any more
than they can be-
To cure catarrh, whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
catarrhal poison out Of the blood and
system, and the new catarrh cure is de-
signed on this plan and the remarkable
success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
because being used internally, it drives
out catarrhal infection through action
upon the stomach. liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman, of st. Joseph, re-
IateS an experience with catarrh which
is Of value to millions of catarrh SUI
ferers everywhere He says; Il neglect
ed a. slight nasal catarrh until it gradu-
ally extended to my throat and brOn-
chial tubes and finally even my stomach
able to keep up and do a days work I
let it run along until my hearing began
to fail me and then realized that I
must get rid Of eatarrh or lose my posi-
tion as I was clerk and my hearing was
absolutely necessary.
Some Of my friends recommended an
inhaler. another a catarrh salve but
they were no good in my case. nor was
anything else until I heard Of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and bought a package
at my drug store. They benefited me
from the start and. in less than four
months I was completely cured Of
catarrh although 1 had suffered nearly
all my life from it.
They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient to usei than other
catarrh remedies that I feel can not
say enough in favor OF Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets"
A little book on cause and cure of
catarrh viii be mailed free by address,

A FRENCH QUARREL
Involving Theatrical Managers and
Dramatic Critics

New York. Feb. IA Paris dispatch to
the Herald says:
Managers of the Ambigu Theater have
brought a. verftable hornets nest about
their ears by excluding the public from
the front at dress rehearsals.
NJ Leo kerst, the Petit Journals critic,
retOrtS that no power on earth can force
him or his brother critics to attend the
Anbigu production twice. He thinks it
absurd to suppose that the presence of
partial audience such as generally
sembles at a dress rehearsal, can inf1u-
ence the critic one way the other, and
asks the managers whether they are not
trying to advertise their house.
On the other hand NJ Lemonnier. the
Mathis critic, continues to advocate the
exclusion OF outsiders from a dress re-
hearsal He declares that a. critic cam
not do his work properly unless he at
tends both the dress rehearsal and the
premiere. The public does not want he
says, the critics private opinion. but
the opinion of the audience It IS mis-
leading the critic to fill the house with
authors and managers friends. as hap
pens at dress rehearsals.'
