CATARRH

Catarrh has become such a 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 a bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; If not at first, it
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-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

Bank Charter Extended.

This morning the president of the
Phillips County Bank, J. F. Morse, re-
ceived from George A. Clark, secretary
of state, new charter extending the
corporation for fifty years. Twenty
years ago this month the original
charter was issued to the "Phillips
County Bank" and as it was soon to
expire by limitation Mr.. Morse Sc
cured the extension in ample time so
that there would be no lapse of time
between the charters.
This extension Of the charter of one
of the oldest banking institutions in
this part of the state recalls to the
early settlers many interesting rem
iniScenceS of the early business history
of the county. The Phillips County
Bank is not only the first bank estab-
liShed in this city, but it is the oldest,
except one, in the county, one of the
Kirw1n banks being established first.
Mr.. Morse is the Oldest continuous
bauk official in the county, and prob
ably in this section of the state. The
excellent business Judgment and con-
servatism of its management makes
this bank one of the safest and solid
est in Western Kansas.

How are These for Pipe Dreams7

The Smith County Journal last week
produced the following: cit is said
the west-bound Rock Island passenger
train last Saturday night had on
board a well developed case Of small
pox. The patient was taken down af-
ter the train left Kansas City, and as
soon as it was known he was placed in
a coach attached to the rear of the
train. At Agra the couch was laid
out for several hours by the severe
snow storm, and it is said some of the
passengers were so frightened that
they spent the time marching about
on the commons rather than remain
within reach of the disease. At last
the conductor told them that the town
of Agra has more than fifty cases Of
smallpox, and in this way was able to
corral his his crowd and get on through
as soon as the storm would permit.
The patient is now in a coach that
was set out in the railroad yards at
PhilIipSburg, and is said to be getting
along nicely"
And the Jewell City Republican,
vision ran this way: "a man got on
the train at Denver this week with
ticket for Ph1lIipsburg. After the
conductor had passed the man pulled
his coat over his head and settled him
self in the seat. When the train ar
rived at PhiiIipsburg the conductor
shook the man and found him dead.
He had died of smallpox. There was
great CONSERVATION in the car. The
whole outfit was side tracked, fumi-
gated, vaccinated and quarantined. /"
