Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat, 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, II
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis.

rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly

Another gang of highwaymen rob-

demanding his resignation. In course

them and shall in due course appeal
to them for Judgment on my course

MOST CROPS LOOK WELL
ALONG LINE OF HILLS RAIL
ROAD SYSTEMS.
Mineral Traffic Is on the Increaoe-
Great Confidence in the
Burlington.

New York, Aug. 6-James J.. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail-
way, who has returned from the north
west said today that the wheat, bar
ley, flax, hay and most of the crops
along the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific roads are looking extreme
ly well and promise to be much ahead
of last year.
TO show the growth of our mineral
traffic." said Mr.. Hill, II need only call
attention to what we have accom-
plished in spite of a partial crop fail
ure last year along the Great North
ern and Northern. Pacific. The loss
was 40,000,O00 bushels of grain. In
transportation and purchasing power
this meant a loss of $4,000, 900 to the
Great Northern railway, all of which
loss was made. up to within $430,000
by the increase of other traffic and re-
trenchments of expenses.
"How will the Burlington show up,
with so great a falling off in the corn
crop?" Mr.. Hill was asked. This is
known as one of the great corn roads.
"That is a question that nobody
can answer definitely at this time"
returned Mr.. Hill.
But I expect the Burlington will
give a good account of itself-as good,
in fact, as the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have in the partial
failure of the spring wheat crop of
last year, may be BETTER"

and sacks was made, the whole being
covered over with a layer of dirt, thus
hiding any sign of what was going on.
What became of the excavated dirt
we have been unable to find out. 1t
must have been removed in sacks.
The covering we have ascertained
was not strong enough to hold the
weight of a man, but the excavation
was made SO close to the building
that a man never walked over it. We
are satisfied that the plotters were
aided by some one thoroughly familiar
with the system employed at the
works and one fully informed as to
the construction of the vault.
Last night, one Of the watchmen
employed about the premises heard
noises inside the vault and informed
his fellows that the devil or ghosts
were inside the vault. They laughed
at him and made no investigation and
thus the robbers were left unmolested
at their work.
The weight Of the gold carried out
of the vault aggregated 1000 pounds
and it must have taken several trips
for n man and several men must
have been employed in carrying the
metal to the boat. We are assured a
boat was in waiting for them.
Inside the vault were several
sacks containing $1,000 but this was
not touched. 1t may have been that
the men became alarmed. That they
wer alarmed is also indicated by the
fact that two bars of gold of great
value were left on the beach in their
haste to escape.
ct is impossible for, us to say at
this time what direction the men took.
II they used a steam launch to leave
the scene of the robbery, they could
have gone in any direction, but if
they escaped in a rowboat they would
doubtless have taken the direction in
which the tide was running. Several
broken drills and an oil can such as
is used by cicleists have been found
in the hole.
Every possible clew is being fol-
lowed, but I am unable to say that
we have been at all successful thus
far, and we have later to make an
nouncement that the robbers have
been apprehended. believe they Sc
cured about $780, 00."

REPUBLICANS IGNORE WHITE
SUPREMACY ISSUE.
NEGRO BOCY A MERE SHAM
Without Power to Brighten
Brave, Proud and Intelli-

Baltimore, Aug. 6-The republican
state convention held here today plac-
ed in nomination the following ticket:
Fol controller, Herman s.. Platt, of
Baltimore; clerk of the court of ap
peals, Thomas Parran, Of Calvert
county. Both nominations were made
by reclamation, no other names COM
ing before the convention.
Interest centered mainly in the
platform and speeches, all of which
teemed with denunciation of democ-
racy in general and former United
States Senator German in p%articular,
The white supremacy issue raise .
by the democrats in the platf
adopted by them at last weeks e q
vention was ignored in the platter
on which the republican candi1a,s
will stand, but it came in for unfa~or-
able mention in the speeches. Phil
lips Lee Goldsborough, chairman of
the republican state central commit
tee, indicated clearly the course to
be pursued by his party in the COM
ing fight with regard to this issue in
his opening address to the conven-
ton.
ITO the cry that this is a white
mans state" he said, 1--WE answer
that the negro bogy will scare no man.
1t is disgusting but humorous, it is
a sham and fraud; it is without force.
The suggestion that more than 80
per cent of the white population of
the state is in jeopardy, from any
standpoint, from less than 20 per cent
of negro population, is an insult to a
brave and intelligent people who are
justly pround of the glory of their
state. There has never been a time
when there has not been a white
mans government in Maryland and
as the percentage of colored people
has steadily decreased in the state
each decade, since 1910, when it was
1922 per cent to the present time
when it is but 1918 per cent, the
puerility and absurdity of crying
aloud white mans government is ap-
parent"

Washington, Aug. GA special com

of the report to be made to congress
at it's next session. Several affidavits
were received and formally accepted
by the committee for inclusion in it's
report. John D. Archbold, vice pres
ident of the Standard Oil company in
an affidavit, seriously attacks the af-
fidavits submitted last June by form
er Attorney General F. S. Monnett of
Ohio, Charles B. Matthew's; M. l..
Lockwood and j.. w. Lee, declaring
that Mr.. Monnett, in his reiteration
of charges, reflects on the purity of he
Ohio supreme court. Concerning the
charges of the attempted bribery of
Mr.. Monnett, by the Standard Oil
company, he characterizes as false
Mr.. Monnett's statement that ''in-
stead of the trust counting investiga-
ton they deliberately evaded and sup

proper charges" He says Mr.. Mon
nett did give notice that he would take
the money before a notary public, "a
proceeding he knew to be illegal, pre-
posterous and contemptuous."
Concerning Mr.. Monnett's testimony
charging the Standard Oil company
with burning it's books, Mr.. Arch
bold's affidavit says:
""There was in his evidence both
suppression of truth and suggestion
of falsehood; and now, after two years
granted for reflection and repentance,
thoroughly d%iscredits by the records
of the court he represented. he again
returns to the charge in his affidavit
filed before the commission in June,

evidence. I leave him face to face
with the record that the commission
may judge"
