A NEW. EFFECrUAL AND CONVENIENT CURE
FOR CATARRH.

A NEW. EFFECTUAL AND CONVENIENT CURE
FOR CATARRH.
OF catarrh remedies there ,s end. but OF
catarrh cures there has always been great search
ty. There many remedies to relieve. but very
few that really cure.
The old practice of snufing salt water through
the would often relieve, and the washes
douches. powders and inhalers in common use are
very little, If any. better than the oldfashioned
salt water douche.
The use of inhalers and the application Of salves
washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure
catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease. Caesrrh is just as much a
blood disease as kidney trouble rheumatism. and
1t cannot be cured by local, treatment any more
than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether ii the head. throat or
stomach, an Internal antiseptc treatment is neces-
sary to drive the catarrhal poison dut OF the blood
and system, and the catarrh cure is designed
on this plan, and the rpnarkable success OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is 81 because. being used
Internally, 1t drives out catarrhal injection through
action upon stomach. liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman of st. Joseph relates an expert

catarh sufferers everywhere. He says: Il neg

FORMER POLICEMAN ON TRIAL
Reinstatement Depends Upon His Ac-
quittal of Charges.

Harrison L. Ashton, former member of
the police department., was today placed on
trial before Judge Kimball and a jury in
the Police Court to answer charge of
improper conduct toward two young girls
during the early part of June, 1899. At
that time Ashton was an applicant for the
place which he secured some months later,
and, not desiring to contest the charge, as
he claims, forfeited SO collateral
Some time after he entered upon the du-
ties of a policeman the circumstances in
the case were disclosed, and his resigna-
ton was requested and handed in. He is
now seeking restoration to the force. and
Il is said If he is acquitted at the present
trial his application will be favorably con-
sidered by the appointing power. He was
tried in d similar way some weeks ago,
but the jury disagreed. The case was still
pending when this report was closed.

Francis Frederick Washburn of Allie
greny, Pa, whose double lapse of
memory gave him practically two
lives. Seventeen years ago, while
travelling on the Rock Island road near
Rock Island, Washburn was injured in
a wreck. Later he came to Allegheny,
married and engaged in business. A
few nights ago one of his four chill
dren dropped lighted lamp on the
floor. 1t so startled Washburn that he
fell and became unconscious. Next
day when consciousness returned he
thought he was back in the hospital
where he was taken from the wreck
and asserted that the past seventeen
years were blank to him.

tion," said Mr.. Washburn the other
day, Just go out of tire world for sew

The Surplus ReJenue5-

The secretary of the treasury says
he will not use the surplus revenues
for the purchase of bonds so long as
they command the premium they do
now. a premium which would increase
if the government were to become
purchaser The 2 per cents are selling
at 106 and a fraction. and the bonds
which will mature during the next sew
en- years, which the secretary will buy
if he buys any. are quoted at from LII
to II3. The department would not be
justified in buying bonds at these fig
ures unless it was absolutely necessary
to put into circulation some Of the
money locked up in the treasury and
there was no other way in which it
could be done.

The Poles who inhabit the province
of Posen, part Of the former king
dom OF Poland, wish to maintain the
public use of their language, but the
authorities do not approve OF their de-
sire. Hitherto those Poles ignorant Of
the German tongue addressed letters
and parcels to their friends in their
own language. This has now been
strictly forbidden. The chief postmas-
ter for the district of Posen has given
orders to all pOstoffices and postal
agencies in his district that no mail
shall in future be accepted, forwarded
or delivered which bears as its ad-
dress an inscription in the Polish lam

that the postal service is not merely a
public servant, but has also national
and educational functions to perform

The part of the Siberian railroad
that will skirt the southern shores OF
Lake Baikal has not yet been built. 1t
involves Difficult; engineering, and the
railroad authorities decided, for a few
years. to use ice-breaking steamers, tie
barges to them. load them with pas
sengers and freight cars and thus ferry
trains across the lake. But now they
have come to the conclusion to build
the line around the foot OF the lake
as soon as they can. for they are haV-
ing no end of trouble with stormy and
foggy Baikal The lake is sixty-fve
miles wide and it is no joke for the
passengers to be penned in their cars
on the barges for twenty to foity hours
at time. as has happened now and
then within the last year. On these oc-
casions a storm On the lake or heavy
fsg has made it impossible to reach
port on the farther side. Anyone
knowing the conditions CT travel On

A while ago sailing vessels were the
only means Of transport. and they
sometimes took over a fortnight in
crossing the lake, beating UP and down
and waiting for a chance to get TO the
landing while storms were raging for
days and days. Millions of Russians
seem to have an erroneous idea Of Bal
kal. 1t is the largest fresh water lake
in Asia. but the Russians do not hest
tate to call it the largest in the world.
In fact, the lake is thus ranked in
some of the biographies used in Rus
sian schools. The compilers Of these
text books would seem never TO have
heard of our great lakes and those Of
