HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms Of Very Common Trouble?

There is no disease 50 common in
the United States as catarrh because
it appears in so many forms and at
tacks 50 many different organs.
1t is a common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose and
throat. Any Inflammation of the mu-
couS membrane wherever located ac
companied by abnormal secretions, is
catarrh. Catarrh Of stomach or blad-
der, or intestines is nearly as COM
mon as nasal catarrh and much more
serious although it is true that stom-
ach catarrh and catarrh of other in
ternal organs is the result of neglected
nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently APP
peared which SO far as tested seems to
be remarkably effective in promptly
curing catarrh, wherever located. The
preparation is sold by druggists gen
orally under name of Stuart'S Catarrh
Tablets, and in addition to being very
palatable and convenient, possesses eX-
traordinary merit. in many cases Civ
ing immediate relief from the cough
ing, hawking and constant clearing of
the throat and head. those symptoms
with which everyone is familiar who
has ever suffered from colds in the
head and throat
Catarrh is simply 4 continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed of Hydrastin. Eucalyptol.
Guaiacol and similar antiseptics and
catarrh specifics, from which it will be
seen that no secret is made of the in
gradients and also that no mineral poi
sons are used. as is the case with many
well known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh of stom-
ach. intestines or bladder no prepara-
ton is so safe and gives such rapid
and permanent results as Stuarts Ca
tarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SOC. for
full sized package. You can use them
with assurance that you VIII not con-
tract the cocaine or morphine habit as
the results from this catarrh cure are
apparent from the first days use.

Scorpion Sent 10 Protect American Interests
at Guanoco. Venezuela.

Washington. Jan l6--At the request
of the state department the navy de-
partment has instructed the command
or OF the Scorpion TO proceed at once
from LaGuayara to Guanoco. VeneZ-
ucia, TO protect American interests, up
on reports that the revolutionary
movement there is increasing and the
attempt Is being made to take posses
sion of the arms of the New York and
Bermudez Co. The news came to the
state department from n private but
perfectly reliable source, and was made
the basis of immediate representations
to the navy department. Secretary
Long responded very promptly to the
request of the state department.
The Scorpion happens to be the only
vessel available for immediate service
and adjacent to the scene of trouble.
Commander Sargent has been instruct
ed to avoid bloodshed ana the destruc-
ton of property if possible. Still, taken
in connection with what has gone be-
fore. there is little doubt that if the
disturbing forces in Venezuela are
seeking to dispossess the incumbents
in the asphalt concession, in defiance
of the tactic agreement that there
should be a thorough judicial inquiry,
the United States warship will prevent
that action. peaceably if possible. for
chilly if necessary. The ship should be
at the seat of the trouble before the
end of the present week.
The state department is also in re-
ceipt of private but trustworthy adj
vices to the effect that the Orinoco
Shipping and Trading Co. two of
whose vessels We're seized, yesterday.
by the Venezuelan government. is an
English corporation. Under these cir
cumstances the state department has
found itself unable to intervene di-
rectiy to compel restitution. but it has
directed Minister Loomis to use his
best offices as far as possible to protect
American interests.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All the Lead
ing Stocks.

New York Jan. 16.-The excessive con-
fusion Of speculative opinion, today. was
shown by wild and frequent fluctuations
in prices often in conflict with different
groups Of stocks. An evident effort was
made to dfIerentiate the movement Of
the steel stocks from that of the railroad
stocks. The action Of the steel group
yesterday, made ii every evident that a
decline in them was to be faced. Some
effort was made at the opening to con-
test this event and supporting orders eff
focted Il rise of point over last night in
Steel and Wire and Tin Plate and OF II,
stock was the only one which retained
any show of strength in the later deal
ings. The conditions in the railroad list
were exceedingly irregular during the
early dealings but there We're sufficient
points of strength to overcome the few
opening declines caused by Sympath
with the London market and with the
weakness of steel stocks. There was n
manifest disposition to realize also in the
CoalerS and Sagging tendency at other
points. st. Paul was vigorously taken in
hand in the midst of this uncertainty and
marked up nearly six points, precipitat-
ing large volume of forced buying from
the bears. The market generally re
sponded in sympathy but on quick re-
lapse Of points in St Paul, began to run
off again. The closing was unsettled and
irregular, but there was no evidence OF
any demand from other than short inter
ests The bond market was moderately
active and eased off in sympathy with
