The New Discovery for Catarrh
Seems to Possess Remarkable

The New Discovery for Catarr
Seems to Possess Remarkabl
Merit.
A new catarrh cure has recently
appeared which SO far as tested
has been remarkably successful in
curing all forms of catarrh, wheth-
er in the head, throat, bronchial
tubes, or in the stomach and liver.
The remedy is in tablet form,
pleasant and convenient to take
and no special secrecy is maintain
ed as to what it contains. the
tablet being a scientific comhina-
ton of Guaiacol, Eucalyptol, San
guinaria, Hydrastin and similar
valuable and harmless antiseptics.
The safe and effective catarrh
cure may be found at any drug
store under the name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located
in the nose, throat, bronchial tubes
or stomach, the tablets seem to act
with equal success, removing the
stuffy feeling in head and nose,
~ SlCdAtlS l4C 1IlQIO0S AliCliOt dlC III
throat and trachea from catarrhal
secretions, which cause the tickling,
coughing, hawking and gagglng so
annoying to every catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to
liberation in some caSeS to such
an extent as to destroy the nose
entirely and in many old cases of
catarrh the bones of the head be-
come diseased. Nasal catarrh grad
ually extends to the throat and
bronchial tubes and very often TO
the stomach, causing that very OBJ
stinate trouble, catarrh OF the stom-
ach.
Catarrh is a systemic poison, in
herent in the blood, and local
washes, douches, salves, inhalers
and sprays can have no effect on
the real cause of the disease. An
internal remedy which acts upon
the blood is the only rational treat
ment and Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
is the safest of all internal RENE
dies, as well as the most conven-
lent and satisfactory from a medi-
cal standpoint.
DIR. Eaton recently stated that he
had successfully used Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets in old chronic cases,
ever where liberation had extended
so far as to destroy the septum of
the nose. He says, II am pleasant
ly surprised almost every day by
the excellent results from Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets. 1t is remarkable
how effectually they remove the
excessive secretion and bring about
a healthy condition of the mucous
membranes of the nose, throat and
stomach"
All druggists sell complete treat
ment of the tablets at so cents and
a little book giving the symptoms
and causes of the various forms
of catarrh will be mailed free by

handicapped at first by a weak water
pressure.
The origin of the fire is not known
as when Mr.. Risinger left the mill in
the evening he said he looked particu-
larly to see If everything was secure.

Trouble Getting Coal.

The river packets of late have ex-
perienced considerable trouble in get
ting coal, and as a result the schedules
have been somewhat disarranged. The
packets all formerly coaled at the
Bellaire works. When they reached
that city they would hitch onto a
loaded fiat and coal as they came up,
and when through dropped the fiat and
it would be floated back to the works.
Since the strike there they have had to
coal at other works and they are COM
PEELED to tie up to the bank while they
receive coal, thus losing much valuable
time.

Inc rain OF thursday afternoon n
night, yesterday and last night, was
the heaviest for at least two and prob
ably three or four years, the total pre-
cipitation of ten o'clock last night be-
ing 2.28 inches, and at one o'clock this
morning SSVas co~nservatively estimated
at 2.75 inches, with every probability
that it would reach three inches by
daylight, as the downpour tended to
increase as the hours of night passed.
A rain of such long duration could not
fail to be general throughout this sec
ton, and during the later hours of
yesterday and last night there was a
good deal of apprehension as to the
effect upon the river, it being realized
that all the small streams were putting
out immense volumes of water, and
this anxiety was abundantly justified as
the rain continued and the water be-
gan to creep up the marks at the wharf
at an ever-increasing rate. At mid
night the stage was 16R feet, but at
one O'Clock this morning there had
been an upward movement of nine
inches, to II feet 8 inches, and at two
O'Clock the stage was IS feet
and coming up fast. At that rate we
will have between 20 and 81 feet at six
O'Clock this morning, with an extreme
OF nobody knows what until the rain
lets UP.
In this vicinity every creek and run
was a mass of rushing and muddy
water last night, and there had been
considerable damage throughout the
vicinity, notably to the railroads. the
details of which will be found else
where in this issue.
Below will be found the latest ad-
vices from upstream points. indicating
that a very considerable rise is COM
ing out of the upper rivers.

PfTTSBURG, Pa. April 20.-2 a. NJ
Another big river is coming At mid
night there was II feet of water in the
Ohio at Davis Island and the river was
rising. This was a rise of about a foot
and a half in eighteen hours. The
weather man here said to-day: Fair:
no rain for two days" Then came the
greatest rainfall of any in the month
OF April in the last ten years. The
storm arrived from the southeast. and
was as unexpected as unwelcome. There
was rain east and south tonight. some
west. Rain fell here most OF the day.
1t was heavy in the afternoon and worse
at night. There vas a steady down
pour which lasted for hours. At mid
night it was still raining hard. The
rise in the Ohio river was surprisingly
small, however, considering the amount
of rain that fell. When the swollen
tributaries up stream have sent their
contributions down the stage will be
much higher, and this will likely hap
pen tomorrow. Along the river front
tonight people were getting ready for
a high riGer. The reports from up river
points show that it was raining at every
place to-day and all the rivers are ris-

A wholesome change from the filth Of
other performances is to be noticed in the
performances Of the Butterfly Burlesquers
which opened yesterday afternoon at the
Empire Theater. to remain during the rest
of the week. There is not suggestive re-
mark during the course of the show and
no pauses or incoherent lines to show that
anything has been eliminated. The chorus,
while not large, makes up in strength of
voices, but the singing of the soloists with
the exception of Miss Amy Nelson, is very
weak and can hardly be heard beyond the
footlights.
Life In the Metropolis" the title of the
opening burletta, seems not to fit the
piece as there is little in the acting that
suggests anything in a big city. The
comedy is furnished by Messrs. Perry.
Barth. Leslie and Curdy, and is very silly.
Miss Nellie Stapleton with the assistance
of the, chorus gives the Southern melody,

NOVEL SHOW OUTLINED
AN AROUND-THE-wORL FLOATING
EXPOSITION PROPOSED.
Project for Advertising American
Products Advocated Before the Ma
tionaI board of Trade.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 40. p Austin.
chief of the treasury Bureau of Statistics.
to-day delivered short address before the
National Board of Trade, in advocacy of
a project he outlined for an around-the-
world floating exposition. He suggested that
half dozen vessels be loaded with properly
selected and advantageously displayed sam
Piles of American merchandise and sent
from port to port along the eastern and
western coasts of South America, thence
across the Pacific, stopping en- route at the
Hawaiian islands, thence to Japan, China
and the Philippines, Australia. and India,
then through the Mediterranean. and thence
to the cities of western Europe, occupying
two or three years time on the trip and
touching at all the trade centers to be
reached BY sea- BY this Mr. Austin thought
merchants of all parts of the world would
be given better acquaintance with Amer
| lean products and American business meth
DDS, while at the same time representatives
of American interests accompanying the
exhibits would acquire beneficial knowl-
| edge of foreign trade wants and customs.
He thought Congress, II applied to by a
properly organized exposition association OF
| business men, might loan for this purpose
| a sufficient number or government trans
ports when the close OF the war in the
Philippines should terminate the service
for which they were purchased. The board
voted to refer the subject to special COM
| rittee for consideration and future report.
| A report favoring the extension of the
presidential term to six years, the incum-
bent to be ineligible to reelection, was
adopted with only a few dissenting votes
| The proposition TO make retiring presidents
| life members Of the senate was voted down
by large majority.
Resolutions were adopted favoring fur
ther appropriations by Congress to COM
p!ete the collection OF foreign trade sam
pies, etc, for the Philadelphia Commercial
Museum; strongly favoring the immediate
passage by Congress of the Nicaragua
canal bill; recommending action by Con-
gress looking to the Improvement of the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers on plans recon-
mended by the government engineers; urg-
ing Congress to provide for the early and
permanent removal of the bar obstructing
the southwest pass OF the Mississippi; ask
ing Congress TO provide for the construction
the Chicago sanitary canal, the Desplaines
and Illinois rivers, to the Mississippi pro-
viding for the appointment of a committee
tC take under consideration and report at
the next meeting plan for the extension
or the membership of the National Board
of Trade, SO as TO include all national COM
Eercial and trade organizations of the
country, and a resolution requesting Con-
gress to take such action as will give to
the country competing cable line between
the United States and Cuba. The meeting
then adjourned until Jan. 81. 1902.
