All Doctors have tried to cure Ca
TARRH by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous mem
branes causing them to crack open and

ELLIS PAID THE BILL,
Raised the Last Indebtedness of
Methodist Church.

The fourth quarterly conference, an
nual meeting, of the Methodist Episcopal
church was held at the Colfax church
Saturday afternoon. Complimentary
resolutions were passed for the efficient
services Of Pastor j. W. Flesher, who

parsonage has been built at an expense
of about $1,000 and the interior of the
church remodeled. Rev. FIesber has de.
clned to serve the church after Sep
TENDER L, having work in other fields.
The report of the trustees showed the
church to be out of debt, with the ex-
ception of salar9 owed the pastor. John

Saturday and Sunday Sun Parched

Before.

Topeka, Kan, July 19.-This has been
an exceedingly hot day in Kansas. All
the good effect of the local showers OF
the past week has been lost so far as
temperature has been concerned. The
mercury has ranged from 106 to 100.
The air has resumed it's we'll known dry
ness, and as a result the heat has not
been SO oppressive. While the great
feeling of utter helplessress caused by
the drough hit has passed, the people OF
the state do not attempt to deny that
the fall crops are in a desperate condi-
ton. Most OF the streams of the state
except the larger ones have gone dry,
and there is poor prospect for stock
water.

Fire Blight Among Pears.

"The ''fire blight" which struck the
Palouse country pear trees for the first
time last year, doing great damage to
this class OF trees, has appeared in still
more damaging form this year, and has
apparently worked absolute ruin to at
least a major portion of the pear trees
of the Palouse country. Struck by the
blight, considered to be bug or para
site pest, the leaves of pear trees turn a
fiery red and the tree dies. In every
portion of the Palouse country the pest
is now at work with fatal results.

grouse and prairie chickens can be leg

birds are reported fairly plentiful this
