 There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years WAS supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven ca tarrh to be constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac- tured by F. J. Cheney & Go. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimo- nials.

over 100000. In addition, thousands of
individual contributions of original doc
uments of the war period were received.
In all such cases thorough examine
ton and consideration were required to
prevent duplication of matter and to es-
tablish not only the accuracy of copies,
but the authenticity of original docu-
ments Missing links had to be traced
by exhaustive correspondence and other
research to secure completeness of the
work as each volume appeared.
During the progress of the work the
department has received many commune
cations inviting attention to supposed
errors or discrepancies in the published
records. In some cases the alleged err
rors were manifestly those of the COM
piler, copyist, proofreader or printer,
and all these have been corrected. But
in nearly every case it has been found
that the errors, if errors they are. that
have been discovered in the published
records, exist in the original papers
themselves, and these the department
has refrained from changing or correct
ing in any way. The papers have been
published as they existed during the
war, all errors and discrepancies includ-
ed, in order that the reader may have
before him the exact data upon which

were obtained copies of archives of the
greatest historical value.
At an early date it was decided not to
admit to the record the contributions of
officers who desired to rewrite after the
close of the war. The necessity for max
ing this ruling was illustrated by Incl
dents. Union colonel applied for per-
mission to retract statement that it
developed afterward he had never made
in his report of the battle of Balls bluff.
A general officer complained of the garb-
ling of his report of the battle of Shiloh,

attributed to him, it was found in his own
handwriting. Two Confederates claimed
to have commanded the same brigade at

more important documents are preserved
in the state war and navy building, ana
in other buildings in the city of Wash

while Norris was acting as an inspector
in an electric booth. Most of the prop
erty including 100000 worth of bonds, has
been recovered. The theft was reported
to the police week ago. The property
was missing from the company's baggage
car in which were trunks belonging to
Mrs. Thompson and her daughter-in-law,
and is said TO have been taken while the
company was playing at the Lyceum

picked and the articles selected at leisure.
Norris, in his capacity as car inspector
had access to the car; but the robbery
was not discovered until the troupe
reached Albany.
Detectives in New York, as well as the
local police, were notified and some OF
the jewelry was traced to the place
where an attempt to sell it had been
made. Further evidence led to the ar

Africa. He is engaged in the sale of
diamonds and other precious stones.
There is an element in the Transvaal
situation" he said, witch has not yet
been taken into general consideration.
While the British and Beers have been
fighting tooth and nail the world as a
spectator has quite forgotten about the
presence on the field of the thousands
of Kaffirs, who live in the disputed re-
gion and who form a standing menace
to the lives of both conflicting peoples.
The situation is this: The KaffiTs, be-
ing only partially civilized native At
ricans, live in the TTansvaal in multi
tudinoUs numbers, raising sheep and
goats. Their life is as free as that OF
the North American aborigine formerly
was, but at the same time their prop
erty rights are respected. otherwise
there would be another feature. and an
important one. too. added to the con-
fiict Heretofore the Beers have held
these people in absolute subsection. and
the Kaffirs have always prOfessed TO
be afraid Of the Uitianders. But at the
same time the burghers have never at
tempted to outrage their property
rights or cOndscate their sheep and
goats, and the Kaffirs have been al
lowed almost perfect freedom of ac-
ton.
Now, the conditions IN the Trans
vaal are getting into such shape that
sooner or later the two fighting armies
must resort to the kafiiT fiocks for
food. Both armies are living on the
country. and il is only "A question of a
short time when the visible food sup
ply will have become exhausted. AS

trouble. When it comes, look for some
sensational developments. The Beers
