HALIFAX.
The National Calamity.

The whole American people are hor-
ror stricken and bowed down with
grief at the assassination and untimely
death of President Mckinley. While
strong indignation is felt for the ele-
ment which took his life there comes
the spontaneous outburst of sympathy
from the whole civilized world, espec-
tally for his invalid wife, and none
but one possessed of high moral and
Christian character could have endur-
ed the ordeal with such calmness as
he did. 1t is a serious question for
us as nation to consider that when a
President of the United States or any
other man high in public office, in a
land of Bibles, free institutions land
free speech as far as it does not in
terfere with the constitution, and
under the protection of the American
flag. cannot travel safely, we may
all pause and ask ourselves the ques-
ton, What is the cause and what is
the remedy? The assassin of the
President calls himself an anarchist.
If this is the kind of people of an or
ganization bound under terrible oaths
who are enemies to all good govern
ment, they should be severely and eff
fectually dealt with before it is too
late. Although we may not be able
to see why. some good may come to us
as nation from this sad calamity.

DESTROYED
BY CARELESS HUNTERS

Farmers along Rock river bottom
are sorely feeling the loss of the pro-
lection which would have been afford
ed had the association been formed
last winter which proposed to stop
the depredations committed by hunt
ers on the farms and stock. Eleven
townships were represented at the
meeting for organization at the time,
but unfortunately farmers of South
Moline township, where the move had
originated. had each taken it for
granted that his neighbors would be
there and his presence would not be
needed, and so it happened that w.
G. Wilson was the only one on the
ground. Black Hawk, Rural. Coal

HOME OF BRIDES PARENTS SCENE
Couple Will Return After Short
Tour to Reside at 920
Fourth Avenue.

Jay E. Clarkson and Miss Eva
Viola Barber, were joined in wedlock
last evening at the home of the par
ents of the bride, Mr.. and Mrs. A F.
Barber, on Twenty-first street.
The ceremony was performed at 8
o'clock by Rev. W. s. Marquis, of the
Broadway Presbyterian church, in the
presence of a company of relatives
and intimate friends of the contract
ing parties. The bridal party, COM

bower of autumn leaves.
Leave on Tour.
The formalities over and congratu-
lations said, light repast was served
and Mr.. and Mrs. Clarkson departed
ostensibly tc take a train for short
wedding tour. Whether they reached
the depot on scheduled time will per-
haps never be known to any Others
than themselves, but at any rate they
left town with their destination

clever ruse in making their escape
from the house and avoiding the rice
and shoe accomplishments. They will
be at home after Nov. at 920 Fourth
avenue, where the groom is prepar
ing a cosy home.
The newly welded couple are
among the city's most promising

MRS. ROUNDS GIVES W
STATE TEMPERANCE WORK.

In the course of her annual address
to the State Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union convention at Gales
burg yesterday, Mrs. Louise s.
Rounds. of Chicago. for II years pres
ident of the state union, announced
her intention of removing to New
York state, and delivered her fare
we'll to Illinois temperance workers.
The election Friday of a president.
who can take up Mrs. Rounds work,
is the general theme among the dele
gates. The candidates thus far talked
of are Mrs. Mary E. Hopper. the pres
ent state corresponding secretary;
Miss Marie c. Brehm. Chicago; Mrs.
Mary Z Kuhl, Champaign. and Mrs.
Ella M. Stuart, Chicago.
Mrs. Bounds withdrawal from the
presidency is because of her desire to
engage in platform work.
The discussion of the day occurred
on a recommendation against redis-
tricting the state, but the convention
finally sustained the recommendation.
The entire list of uperintendenss was
reappointed. In addition Mrs. Mary
Z Metzgar, of Moline. was appointed
legislative uperintendent; Miss Cath
crime Sawyer. superintendent of
young women's work, and Miss Belle
Davis Smith, of Chicago. superintend-
ant of non-alcoholic medication.
The convention after warm debate
voted against sending 81 per union to
the national union. The annual re-
port of Mrs. Mary Z Hopper, of Chi
clgo. showed that 80, 600 have signed
I le pledge and that good work has
been done along every line. Nearly
every district showed gain over last
year.

Every Sufferer from Catarrh X vows that

Powders, lotions, salves, sprays an

Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and
inhalers cannot really cure Catarrh
because this disease is a blood dis
ease, and local applications, if they
accomplish anything at all, simply
give transient relief
The catarrhal poison is in the blood

nose, throat and trachea tries to re-
lieve the system by secreting large
quantities of mucous, the discharge
sometimes closing up the nostrils,
dropping into the throat, causing
deafness by closing the Eustachian
tubes, and after a time causing ca
tarrh of stomach or serious throat
and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal remedy which

gestion from the mucous mem brane.
The best aud most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics sci

while each of these has been success
fully used separately, yet it has been
difficult TO get them all com bined 10

Unlike many catarrh remedies
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine opiate or any injurious drug
whatever and are equally beneficial
for little children and adults.
G. r. Rem brandt of Rochester,
n Y, says: II know few people
who have suffered as much as 1 from

ach 1 used sprays. inhalers and
powders for months at a time with
only slight relief, and had no hope of
cure. l had not the means to make a

only chance OF cure.
''Last spring read an account of
s ome remarkable cures made by
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and prompt
ly bought a so cent box from my
druggist and obtained such positive
benefit from that one package that i
continued to use them daily until l

which had begun to fail as a result of
the catarrh, has greatly improved

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at SO cents for complete
treatment and for convenience,
safety and prompt results they are
undoubtedly the long looked for
catarrh cure.
