PRESIDENT CARROLL'S WONDERFUL RECOVERY.
THE WAX OF ESCAPE FROM CAT
Catarrh Claims a Multitude Of
Victims Every Winter,
The Vast Majority of Whom
Never Recover.
Will You Be One of Them ?

Catarrh is silent and insidious in its
ravages, but it pervades nearly every
household and hoYers like a pestilence
over every hamlet and city in our land.
Catarrh (and its legitimate conse-
quences) have desolated more hearth
stones, made wretched more happy lives,
and ended more brilliant careers than
all other diseases combined.
Catarrh may end in deafness, blind
ness, loss of smell, loss Of taste, or the
entire loss of voice.
Diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia,
consumption and pleurisy begin almost
always as the result of a catarrhal at
tack.
The worst forms of dyspepsia and
Bright's disease Of the kidneys are also
the direct consequences of neglected
cases of acute catarrh.
Even when the victims of acute ca
tarrh escape all of the above-mentioned
liabilities, there remains the great prob
ability of its ending in chronic catarrh.
The only hope of success in the perma-
nent cure of a case of chronic eatarrh
is to devise some remedy that will slim
ulate the nerves which supply the capil-
larry blood vessels.
There is but one remedy that has this
most desirable effect, and that remedy is
Peruna.
This remedy strikes &c once st the
root of the catarrh by restoring to the
capillary vessels their healthful elias
ticity.
Peruna is not temporary palliative,
but radical cure.
Mr.. Joseph A. Bossong, 454 West
S7th street, New York City, n. Y, is
Chief Ranger of Court Independence,
of the Ancient Order of Foresters Of
America. He is in the grocery business
at 454 West S7th street. He is a young
man of splendid stature and physique.
He writes as follows:
"In my business I have to be at my
store at four O'Clock every morning,
summer and winter, and am subject to
severe colds from draughts and damp
ness. Three years ago catarrh attacked

VAN MOURIK BROUGHT BACK
Shed Tears and Expressed Regret For
his Conduct.


John Van Mourik, the young man
VINO is wanted for embezzling S95 from
4. c. Coffin, arrived yesterday in the
custody Of Sergeant Burbidge of the
police department, who went to KAN
sas City a few days ago to get the
prisoner. Van Mourik was arrested in
Kansas City and was in prison there
until the Salt Lake officers arrived
with papers for his extraditfon. Of
nicer Burbidge states that ne found
upon arriving in Kansas City. that
Van Mourik had pawned his grip and
oveTcoat to get money to live on and
was then owing a weeks board bin
The prisoner was handcuffed when the
return trip was commenced. but his
behavior was such that after the first
day the shaclsles were removed.
The prisoner seems to be very peni-
tent and tears came to his eyes when
he met Mr. Coffin at the station yes
terday. He expressed himself as being
willing 20 dc all he could to right the
wrong he had done.
Yesterday afternoon the prisoner
was taken before Justice Kroeger and

INCREASE OF FIVE MILLIONS.
Bank Clsarings Still Reflect Growth
of Business.


of Business.
The statement of the heavy Increase
IN the Salt Lake bank cIearings has
become a monOtOnous story, yet it is
a story from which every resident of
the community can take pleasure.
There was no falling of during the
week just closed and the increase for
the month was s., 500 900 over November
of last year. Throughout the week
Salt Lake WAS far in advance OF every
other city OF equal size in the country,
and OutstriPDed many cities with more
than twice the population. The total
clearings for the week placed this city
in the same class as Denver, Seattle,
Memphis, Richmond and Savanna. The
figures of the clearings for the month
are S1762S, 262.2S and for November of
last year they were So, So, 1885; for
the week they were s., So, 1886 and for
the corresponding week of last yer
they were $2,394.945.S6; yesterdays
ciearings were S647, 238.25, compared
with $500. Asp for tie corresponding
day of last year
There are those among the business
mer of the city who find il difficult to
account for these continued heavy
cIearngs. The long continued slump in.
the mining stocks seems tC have cast a
shadOvl over the business Of the city
in general; the inactivity has extended
TO the local commercial stocks in the
last few weeks and verw few transfers
are being made here. The weakness
of Utah sugar has also had an effect
in this direction; il vas quoted yester-
day at $1465, while ogden sugar was
held at 500. There were no changes Of
note in the quotations on the other local
stocks. Coop Wagon was firm around
1927, in view of the consolidation now
in progress with the Consolidated I'm
plement company.
Merchants continue to report goOd
business in most lines, and the jODbers
are doing exceptionally we'll in NOV
ing out goods for the winter trade.
The continued mild weather is still a
subject of complaint among the dealers
in clothing, boots and shoes and heavy
dry goods. Collections are reported as
being only fair; the banks are carry
ing many cattlemen anu sheepmen and
there are those who account for the
poor support for the mining stock mar
k-st by the amount of money that the
r0anks are throwing into these other
channels
Real estate continues slow in spite
Of al 1.-The rosy predictions that were
made IN the summer, and building is
naturally Stacking up a. the winter
approaches Very few new buildings
are being started now, although the
work is still being pushed on ali the
structurs IS already started.
