The readers OF this: paper will be
pleased to learn that there Ia at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
IS the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces
Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in, doing it's work. The pFoprietors
have so muchlfaith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

RRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispe!led the
silly notion that one kind OF food is
needed FOR brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, Its nutriment is des-
troyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appear
ance Or prevent their coming by TAX
ing regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine OF the
healthy millions. A few doses aids d.
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purlfes the blood, and makes
you feel buoyant and vigorous. You

SHENANDOAH QUIET
 TROOPS WILL STAY
And Put in Their Time Improving in
 Workmanship.

Shenandoah, Pa, August This was an uneventful day in Shenandoah and surrounding country. Absolute quiet prevailed everywhere, and the general feeling Of uneasiness which had pre- vailed is rapidly disappearing. The troops spent the day perfecting their camp arrangements, and comparative ly few Of them were in town. None are permitted cut of camp after dark.
 Much sympathy was expressed today by citizens generally over the death last night cf Joseph Beddell as q re- suit of the injuries received in the riot of Wednesday night. The funeral will take place on Monday afternoon. and ne will be buried with Masonic hOnorS. The inquest on the death of Beddell was begun today, and after four wit taking of testimony was postponed un- til next Thursday.
 Brigader General Gobin said tonight that while everything is quiet there is feeling of unrest among the gre army of idle men and boys. It is be- lieVed at brigade headquarters that the soldiers will stay in the field to the end of the sH'ike. Targets will be put up tomorrow against culm banks, and 1t is the hope of General Gobin to qualify as marksmen at least two regiments 0i the men now in camp.

Santa Barbara. Cal, August l. Throughout the day until 3:10 p. m. occasional slight earthquake shocks were felt in Los Alamos valley.
 The wagon road over what is known as the Los Alamos grade, extending over the mountain into the valley, is in bad condition. Boulders and dirt were thrown from the higher elevations by tons. Persons arriving at Los Ala mes from Lompoc this evening report having had great difficulty in making their way over dangerous places.
 Professor Larkin of Mount Lowe ob- servatory arrived at Los Alamos this evening. Over the telephone he stated that the disturbances are Of the na- ture known as oscillatory earthquakes They are of a common nature. He says that it is quite probable that they are due to the sudden displacement of immense bodies of gases seven or eight miles beneath the surface of the earth. While the country about Eos Alamos gave evidence of once having been the scene of vast volcanic action he ob- serves nothing to indicate that any ca lamity Ot that nature is likely to occur

ARM0R AHEAD OF
 THE PR0JECTILE
In the NeVer-E Ending Race Be-
 tween Them.
The Discovery Of a New Process i'll Armor Plate Making Greatly In- creasing the Resistance and Re ducing the Weight.

Washington. August 1.-The navy people hope to offset the recent deVel Cpments in high explosives and armOr- piercing projectiles by the army through a considerable improvement iii the resisting power of the armor plat ing of battleships.
 Lieutenant Clelland Davis. attached to the naval ordnance bureau, has pro- duced an armor plate which recently was tested at the proving grounds at Bethlehem, and the results encourage the naval officials here to believe that armor plate has again overtaken the gun in the never-ending struggle for supremacy. This plate is obtained by a novel process, carbon being driven directly into the surface of the hot plate by an intensely powerful current of electricity. the result being a face as hard as glass and of any thickness desirable. supported by a tough back which it is declared cannot be cracked.
 The depth of the hardening is ruled by the length of time the current plays upon the plate It is said the average plate can be completely treated elec- trically in five hours. Moreover the plate is declared to be a third lighter for the same resisting power. which means q great saving for constructors.

GRANDMAsTER J. J. SWEENEY
Visited Northern Lodges en Route Home From Shriners' Conclave.

J. J. Sweeney has returned from a visit Of nearly two months in San Francisco, or at least ating from the Shriners' excursion to that city. MT. Sweeney is an enthusiastic Shriner, and is grand master of the Masonic lodge of this Jurisdiction, so he com bined fraternal pleasures with his sum- mer outing. Early in the spring he paid a visit to most of the Arizona lodges in southern Arizona, and on his way home from San Francisco he wis ited all the lodges in northern Arizona. completing his official tour, with the exception of Yuma, Globe and Clifton.
 lie was very kindly treated by the northern lodges, and had a delightful time enjoying the cool weather of that section. His visit to Prescott and Je- rome was made pleasant by the mem berS of the fraternity, and he comes home good natured and happy. even if 1t did cost q few dollars.
 Mir. Sweeney claimed San Francisco as his home previous to coming to Ari- Zona. and he naturally enjoyed himself in the coast metropolis. The climate was delightful, and the opportunities for amusement were many. San Fran cisco seems to be enjoying unusual prosperity, and is growing rapidly.

MAJOR STRONG
 WANTS TO MAKE UP
May Yohe Willing to Forgive Him
 if She Can Find Him.

London, August May Yohe spent ing and rereading a batch of letters she had just received from Putnam Bradlee Strong. and in which, while urging forgiveness and beseeching news Of Miss Yche's future movements. he carefully disguised his own where abouts. On the inside flap of one en- velope Strong wrote: "Send word by the bearer if you forgive me" On read ing which Miss Yohe exclaimed: There have been all sorts of friends here today offering me all sorts of in ducements to leave here, but l care only for Bradlee where is he? Why don't they bring him to me? Why does he write me if he does not love me? l would forgive him in minute if he would only say that he is sorry
 Miss Yohe grew hysterical. Strong's letters declared that he was within a days ride of Paris. which was obscure enough to leave Miss Yohe in doubt as to whether lie was in England or at GenCa.
 Miss Yohe had all her trunks packed in readiness to go to Paris, but the in- timation she received that Strong was not there finally decided her to remain in London. Referring to this decision, she said; Il don't see how l can spend another night in this miserable place, but l suppose I'll have to-
 Before leaving London Strong told his friends that he intended to go to the United States and never to see Miss l YChe again. It is now evident that he has changed his plans and a recOncilia- tory meeting between him and Miss Yohe is only a matter of a few days. Such a meeting would probably have occurred already if Strong were not doubtful as to Miss Yohe's attitude in the matter of the criminal proceedings against him.
