Promising For the Tenors.

Three tenors while strolling in Paris
began to talk of their engagements for
the coming season.
Where are you two fellows going"
asked one.
"I'm going to Rio Janeiro," answered
one of his companions.
$50 am l." answered the other one.
"That's very queer" said the first
speaker, "for I'm going there too"
They then compared notes and, find
ing that the same theatrical manager
had engaged each Of them, they called
on him and asked for an explanation.
81 don't see why any Of you should
be dissatisfied" he replied. "I've en-
gagged each of you because don't want
to be left without tenor in Rio Ja-
neiro. 1t is very probable that before
you are acclimated there yellow fever
will carry off two Of you, and wouldn't
be in a nice fix then If i hadn't a
third tenor on hand?"

The Yalue of a struggle.

, It is q curious fact in the history Of
nations that only those which have had
to struggle the hardest for an exist
ence have been highly successful. AS
q rule the same thing is true Of men.
One would think that it would be a
great relief to have the bread and but
ter problem solved by ones ancestors
so that one might devote all his ener-
gies and time to the development Of
the mental and spiritual faculties. But
this is contrary to the verdict Of his
tory and the daily experience Of the
world. The strugglers. those born to
heritage of poverty and toll and not
those reared in the lap of fortune,
have, with a few exceptions, been the
leaders of civilization. the giants Of
the race.-Success.

Much Lead In Wasted on the ArtfaA
Dodger at Migration Time.
The snipe. properly Wilson's sniPe,
Gallinago delicata, but commonly
known as English snipe and wrong
fully called half dozen other names.
is a widely distributed species. 1t Wis
its every state at some season. Its
northward migration extends within
the arctic circle, while it is known TO go
Eouthward to northern South America
and the West Indies. Comparatively
few of the birds which move north
ward from February until May breed
south of the international line. 1t is
quite true, there are breeding grounds
at various points of the northern states,
but the great breeding range extends
from latitude 40 degrees north to some
undetermined point much nearer the
pole than most sportsmen will venture.
Some time in September the first
southbound birds pass below the Cana
dian grounds, and soon most of the
suitable marshy bits of east and west
have their share of long billed prizes.
Then begins an astonishing attack
which extends from ocean to ocean and
generally sweeps southwark from Can
ada to California. Probably tons OF
lead, half Of which is wasted, are fired
at the artful dodger.-Edwyn Sandys

It's Beautiful Blossoms Are Pitfalls
For Bees and Bugs.
Honey bees and insects and bugs OF
less degree fiEd pitfalls and often death
in the beautiful biBsoms Of the milk
weed, otherwise known as the Virginia
swallowwort. If these flowers are eX-
amined any sunny day, one will be
pretty sure to Ilnd them decorated with
a miscellaneous assortment Of strug-
Cling or dead insects with their legs
fast in the Sits Of the peculiar BIOS
SONS. The pollen of this common plant,
instead Of being powder, as III the
case of most plants, consists OF sticky,
waxen masses hidden within the BIOS
som. When a visiting insect thrusts
a probOscis or leg into the opening OF
such a flower, some Of these masses
stick to it, and the natural course is for
the insect to fay off to another flower
and fertilize this with the adhering pol
len. All insects, however, are not strong
enough to extricate their legs from the
sticky places, and then ensues the slow
torture of hanging there until death or
a helping hand releases them from mis-
cry. Besides being beautiful, it could
be quite a useful plant if we cared to
develop it's virtues. Thus its milky

iceable in the manufacture of textile
fabrics, as cotton is, and q fiber OF
good quality for ropemaking may be
extracted from the stalk.

Formerly there was no classihcauon
Of any kind. American life was q

There will be total eclipse of the
moon on Thursday evening Of this
week, and it will be visible from all OF
both North and South America. This
eclipse is of but little interest to as
.tronomers, as it occurs about twice a
year. The eclipse will begin at 1877
p. M, and will gradually become dark
ened, until 1910, when the face of the
moon VIII be entirely hidden. 1t will
remain totally eclipsed until 11:4s.
when the shadow will begin to move off,
and at 1850 a. m. it will be entirely
gone. This eclipse is caused by the
moon passing into the shadow, and oc-

mosphere is clear it may be observed
very plainly with the naked eye or an

Or It Least Every One Who suffers
From catarrh.
Catarrh in its various forms IS q ma.

everybody suffers from 1t more OF less
1aals many to neglect its proper treat
ment ~
Nasal catarrh is a common cause OF

causing impairment and sometimes TO-
fol loss of voice. Bronchial catarrn
loads easily to consumption. Catarrh
~ tho stomach and liver are very seri-
ous and obstinate troubles, while 1t IS
row generally admitted thap catarrh IS
tho most common Of all causes of deaf
ness.
All of the more serious forms OF ca Z
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the locai
symptoms being a profuse discharge
stoppage Of nostrils. irritation and ire
uuent clearing of the throat, sneezihg'
coughing and gagging.
The old style of treatment with
douches, inhalers, sprays. salves, etc,
simply give temporary relief and every
one who has used any of them knows
how useless they are and their incon-
yenience is such that very few have the
time or patience to continue their use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only be
obtained from a treatment which re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the
blood, because no one will now dispute
that catarrh is constitutional or blood
disease, and local applications can have
no effect except to temporarily relieve
local symptoms.
A new remedy which has been re-
markedly successful in curing catarrh
is a pleasant tasting tablet which Is
taken internally and acts upon thu
blood and mucous membranes.
1t is composed of antiseptic remedies
like red gum. blood root and similar
cleansing specifics, which eliminate the
catarrhal poison from the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the
taste, are dissolved in the mouth and
thus reach the throat, trachea and
finally the stomach and entire alimen-
tary canal. They are sold by druggists
everywhere under the name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
If desired, when there is much stop
page of the nose. the tablets may be
dissolved in warm water and used as a
douche in addition to internal use. but
a douche is not at all necessary. A few
dissolved in the mouth daily will be
sufficient. DR.. Ainslee says: "rhe reg
ular daily use of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets taken internally will cure the whole
catarrhal trouble without resorting to
the inconvenience of a douche or an in
haler."
They seem to give healthy tone to
the whole mucous membrane and it is
really remarkable how soon they will
clear the head and throat of the un-
natural and poisonous catarrhal secre-
ton.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is undoubt-
eddy the safest, most palatable and GER
tainly the most efficient and convenient
remedy for any form Of catarrh.

BRANDON BOUND OVER.
Pleads Guilty to Both Charges
of Breaking and Entering
at Albion
oLMsTEAD HELD AS WITNESS
Grandon Given Hearing Monday At
ternoon in Justice Denbow's Court
Makes Voluntary Confession in
Writins-oImstead Will Be Held to
Assure His Presence When Wanted.

The cases of wholesale theft at AL
bion are closed as far as the JUS
tice court is concerned, Will Grandon,
who was arrested at Des Moines Sat-
urday aftrnoon by Constable William
Denbow, having pleaded guilty in JUS
tice Robert Denbow's court Monday az
ternoon. He was bound over to the
grand jury and in default OF $LOOO
bonds, $500 in each case, he was
brought to this city Monday evening
and placed in Jail.
Grandon made u clean breast OF the
affair and made voluntary confession
in writing, giving detailed statement
Of how the robbery OF the Fraley store
and Filler restaurant was accomplished.
Ray J. Olmstead, who admitted the
thefts in the first place, and who impli-
Gated Grandon as helping him, was neld
as a witness under $500 bonds, and was
brought here and placed In Jail IN or
der that he may be ready when wanted
by the grand jury. 1t is Thought that
the grand jury can hardly help but IN
diet Olmstead on his own evidence, Tor
he admits being equally guilty with
Grandon in committing the crimes.
Albion people are very much pleased
over the manner in which the case has
been handled by Constable Denbow.
For several days it did not look as II
the guilty parties were going to be APP
pretended, altho the general SUPPOSE.
ton was that those now under arrest
were guilty. It took a great deal OF
hard work to accomplish the desired
result. and now that the crime has been
placed at the right doors it is thought
there will be less thieving for time,
