Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contains Mercury.

AS mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly de-
rive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, o., contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. 1t
is taken internally and made in Toledo,
Ohio, by F. j. Cheney & Co. Testi-
monials free.
Sold by Druggists, Price 75c per bot
tie.
Halls Family Pills are the best.

For a Board Of Trade.

The COURIER clips the following sen
sible editorial from the Reno Journal:
Pursuant to his instructions, and
with commendable energy, Mr.. Prem
tice, traffic agent of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company, has en-
deavored to secure the organization of
a Board of Trade in Reno, but thus far
without success. The cause of the
failure is not very clear, but at first
blush it looks as if our business men
have not accepted Mr.. Prentice's over
lures with the hearty good will which
should be extended to such an effort.
This is to be regretted.
There can be no doubt that a strong
and efficient Board of Trade composed
of our most progressive and straight
forward business men, would be an inn
portant instrumentality in the up
building of the State and particularly
of Reno. 1t would be an agency for
the pramulgation of authentic infor-
nation as TO the resources of the COM
monwealth. An agency to which out
side capital seeking field for invest
ment would turn with confidence and
respect. We never have had such a
thing here, and it is high time that we
did have. Reno has many natural adj
vantages, and undoubtedly has great
future, if it's business men put forth
proper efforts.
The initiative taken by Mr.. Prentice
afforded an admirable opportunity for
the beginning of organized effort in
which the railroad and other interests
of the State would be brought into
close and harmonious cooperation.
No single interest has so much to gain
by the development of the State as has
the Southern Pacific Railroad, and this
can best be brought about by broad
and generous policy on the part of the
road. Under such policy the people as
a body would share in the gain, and
anything looking to close cooperation
between the road and our business in
terests generally, should command our
earnest approval.
Mr.. Prentice's move for the forma-
ton of Board of Trade was on cor
rect lineA. We trust that the effort
will be continued, and ultimately be
successful Let us have the Board OF
Trade by all means. 1t can do no pos
sible harm, and it is likely to work a
vast amount of good. When the Rail
road Company, through its agent,
makes move of this kind it merits the
most favorable consideration at the
hands of our people.

THE WEEKLY COURIER.
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER %, ...leo2.

The last number of the Scientific
American has full page illustration
of the great dam at Assouan on the
Nile. 1t has just been completed and
is by far the greatest achievement of
the kind in ancient or modern times.
1t forms a reservoir in the Nile Valley
capable of storing l,00o, 100000 tons of
water, and win not only produce a
revolution in the primitive and labo-
rious methods of irrigation in Egypt,
but will reclaim to the uses of the hus-
bandman vast areas of land that hither-
to have been accounted arid and worth
less desert. The total length of the
dam is about miles; the maximum
height from foundation, about 100 feet;
the difference of level water above and
below, 81 feet; and the total weight of
masonry over one million tons. 1t is
impossible to estimate the far-reaching
beneficial influence these irrigation
works will bestow upon Egypt, but
many thousands of acres of desert will
be reclaimed for agricultural develop
ment.

How the wire trust affects the people
of Nevada is tersely told by w. H..
Gilnfor, one of Elko county's solid
ranchers, who says the year before the
trust was formed he sold his steers for
$35 head, and it took two to pay for
ton of barbed wire. The year after
the trust was formed he sold his steers
for $3.50 a head and it took four of
them to pay for ton of barbed wire.
Mark Hanna once said trust was a
good thing for the people, but Mark
would have considerable trouble in
convincing Mr.. Gilmor that the wire
trust is good thing for the Nevada
rancher.- Independent.

the post, according to the statements
of the county officers. He continued
II was informed that this firm
shipped $4,000 head Of horses ami

FORAKER IN OPPOSITION.
Against Pending Chinese Exclusion
BitI--Mclaurin Also-Cuban
Debate In House.

Washington, April 15.-The CHI
nese exclusion bill occupied the 1T
tentioR of the senate throughout yes
terday, Senators Foraker and Nc
Laurin, of South Carolina, making ex-
tended remarks in opposition. M
Foraker contended that the pending
measure was violative Of our treaty
with China, and was calculated to
prevent our commercial expansion in
the far east. While strongly sup
porting the policy of the government
to exclude Chinese laborers, the Ohio
senator maintained that this could
best be accomplished by an extension
of the present law, holding that the
drastic provisions of the pending bill
would cut off our. cotton trade with
China and thus wreck the cotton in
dustry of the south. Mr.. Teller
briefly responded to Mr.. Foraker
urging that the right to abrogate
treaties was fully recognized. Mr.
Lodge, of Massachusetts, gave notice
Of an amendment striking out the
much discussed clause prohibiting tn
employment of Chinese sailors on
American snlps.
Interest in the Cuban reciprocity
debate in the house seems to be wan
ing, judged by the attendance on the
floor yesterday, but the earnestness
of the speeches on both sides III
creases rather than diminishes in in
tensity. That the Republican oppon
ents Of the bill are determined to pro
long the struggle as much as posi-
BILE was made manifest yesterday by
their refusal to allow speeches to be
printed in the record. Mr.. Robinson
of Indiana, opposed Cuban annexation
on the ground that it would threaten
the welfare Of the American wage
Garner. The conference report on the
postoffice appropriation bill was
adopted early in the day after some
