REMARKABLE SUCCESS
ora New Catarrh Cure.

large and constantly increasing
majority of the American people are
catarrh sufferers. This is not entire
ly the result of our changeable eli
mate, but because modern investiga-
ton has clearly proven that many
diseases, known by other names, are
really catarrh. Formerly the name
catarrh was applied almost exclusive
" to the common nasal catarrh. but
the throat, stomach, liver, bladder,
kidneys and intestines are subject to
catarrhal diseases as well as the ma
sal passages.
In fact, wherever there is mucous
membrane there is n feeding ground
for catarrh.
The usual remedies, inhalers. sprays,
douches or powders, have been prac-
tically failures, as far as anything
more than temporary relief was con-
cerned. because they simply dry up
the mucous secretions without hav-
ing the remotest effect upon the
blood and liver. which are the real
sources of catarrhal diseases.
1t has been known for some years
that the radical cure of catarrh could
never come from local applications,
but from an internal remedy, acting
on the blood and eXpelling the ca
tarrhal poison rom the system.
A new internal preparation which
has been on the market only a short
time. has met with remarkable sue
cess as a genuine, radical cure for ca
tarrh.
1t may be found in any drug store,
sold under the name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, large pleasant tasting
lozenges, composed principally of
antiseptic ingredients, blood root,
red gum and similar catarrh spe-
cities.
DIR. Ainslee in speaking of the new
catarrh cure says: Il have tried the
new catarh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, upon thirty or forty patients
with remarkable satisfactory results.
They clear the head and throat more
effectually and lastingly than any
douche or inhaler that l have ever
seen, and although they are what is
called a patent medicine and sold by
druggists, l do not hesitate to rec
commend them as l know them to be
free from cocaine and opiates. and
that even a little child may use them
with entire safety.
ANY sufferer from nasal catarrh,
throat or bronchial trouble, catarrh
of the stomach, liver or bladder will
find Stuart's Catarrh Tablets remark
ably effective, pleasant and convent
ent, and your druggist will tell you
they are absolutely free from any in
furious drug.

FOR FIREMEN'S FUND
Crowded House at the Moving

EXHIBITION PROVES FINE SUCCESS
With Illustrated Songs
Nice Sum Real
lied.

crowded house greeted the NOV
ing picture exhibition put on at the
Illinois theatre last evening under
the auspices of the Rock Island fire
department and for the benefit of the
firemen's relief fund. The films were
from the Selig Polyscope company. of
Chicago, and the exhibition was un-
der the management of j. f. Shank.
The exhibition was interesting from
beginning to end, and il was inter
spersed with illustrated songs by lit
tie Maureen Englin and by Fred Da-
Wis. The former sang Hello, Central,
Give Me Heaven" and upon being re-
called gave The Holy City
The films were clear and were put
on in good order. Many interesting
scenes in city and country all over
the land were wildly shown and the
audience was i'm turn whirling dizzily
through the chasms, gorges and tun-
nels of the Rocky mountains on the
pilot of a locomotive, witnessing n
naval review at sea and travelling
down a crowded street on a cable car
while the metropolitan fire fighting
apparatus was going past at headlong
pace.
Funny Scenes Presented.
Between such scenes as the above
there were humorous situations de-
picted in which the camera had been
tricked into representing absurdities
and impossibilities with all the tidel-
| ity of the real and the true. As an IL
lustration of this. who would suppose
for an instant that the photographer
| would ne willing for the sake of hav-
ing moving picture taken of him of
standing with his camera in the mid
die of the track and being knocked
galley west by the approaching train
Yet such things were seen.
The greatest enthusiasm was man
ifested when the Rock Island fire de.
partment was shown bursting out of
the Central engine house and tearing
down the street TO a pretended fire.
Second avenue was shown as seen
from the front of a street car, and
the drill team of Camp &c, NJ. w. A,
was exhibited drilling.
To BE Repeated.
The exhibition will be given with n
change of program in all but the To-
cal pictures at the Illinois theatre to-
morrow afternoon, the proceeds to be
| turned over to the firemen's benefit
fund as before, and the prices for
this occasion viii be reduced to To-
| 20 and so cents.

AN OLD COLD
Is Catarrh. and Catarrh Leads
to Consumption.

The tendency of catarrh of the head
is to pass downward through the bron-
chial tubes to the lungs. Any one who
has had catarrh of the head for a year or
more finds the disease gradually pro-
crossing downward. In some cases the
progress is rapid, and in other cases it is
slow; but sooner or later if catarrh is
allowed to run, it will go to the lungs
and set up the disease known as con-
sumption. 1t is doubtful if consumption
is ever caused by anything except ca
tarrh.
The catarrh usually begins as a cold in
the head or throat, and is neglected until
1T becomes chronic; then it begins to
dawn on the victim that he has catarrh.
Unless he is very foolish indeed he will
not rest easy until the catarrh is entirely
cured. Thousands pay no attention to
it until it is too late.
Mrs. j. Priest, Lee, Mich, writes :-"I
| think there is no medicine on earth that
excells Peruna. My husband won't take
any other. We have tested it and it
worked great change in my sons
health last spring when we thought he
was going into consumption. We gave
him only one bottle and he was all right.
1 tell everybody about how much good
it has done us. My husband says he
can't do without it. AS for myself it
saved me seven years ago from going
blind. / could not see to read one word
for six weeks. 1 thought should surely
lose my sight. / commenced taking Pc
runa and by the time I had taken one
bottle could see to read as well as ever.
We think it is grand medicine."-Mrs.
J. Priest.
Use as Much as Needed.
If Peruna is used cold never be-
comes chronic, and hence catarrh is pre-

CREWS OVERWORKED

PROMOTIONS STILL THE ORDER

Notes.
PROMOTIONS STILL THE oRDE1

There is no let up in the scaFcity of
engines and men to run them on the
Rock Island. Lack of sufficient mo-
tive power to handle the great amount
of freight that the road is called upon
to transport leads to frequent delays.
The engines are overworked as truly
as the crews are, and there is not
time to give them sufficient attention
at the round houses TO keep them in
the repair that is necessary for them
| to make the eXacting schedules. Here
| and elsewhere along the line tiremen
are being promoted to engineers 81
most as rapidly as they can become
sufficiently familiar with the duties
OF that responsible place to render
them capable of passing the required
| examinations.
The condition is mainly, but not
entirely, due to the Unprecedented
freight business of the present fall
and the competition that there is be-
| tween the big lines in handling it.
This is SO great that in some places
railroad men tell of passenger trains
being sidetracked for freights. The
morning Burlington train from the
north is ehronically an hour late and
has been for many weeks, a condition
that is ascribed to heavy freight traf-
fic in the north that interferes with
| passenger connections.
But there is another reason back of
the scarcity of men that is not gen
orally realized by the public The
|
ginemen. Only the most perfect
specimens of manhood will do and
the work put upon them is so severe
and the regulations under which they
work are growing so strict that even
the high wages that are paid fails to
attract enough men of the right kind
to the road. The question of men is
recognized as Il more serious one than
that of mechanical difficulties i'm the
way of faster schedules.

u1t tue llnt dilu ahiiO y "iiNO would have otherwise experienced. But my lucky star was already on the wane, and it set right then and there. Immediately following the stage there rode a horseman who dismounted at the door and handed the doctor a letter. He entered the room, read it by the light of the lamp and informed me that he must return. Since our departure from the mill in the morning, his daughter, Mrs. Federico, had been suddenly taken very ill, and he must go back to give her medical attendance.
 I had supposed the stage would remain there overnight, and l said l would go along in the morning. But the stage was already gone. l was in complete dismay. Borrow ing the horse of the messenger we sent our driver down the road to stop it and call it back to get me. In quarter of an hour he returned and said the stage had stopped at the next ranche, half mile away, to take supper and change horses, but would come back for me before starting But was for taking no chances. My grip was already packed, and getting our driver to carry it, l set out for the other ranche, in my haste forgetting to thank the doctor for his kindness.
 Arriving at the place, 1 found them sitting down to supper, and to help pass away the time l sat down and partook of another meal. After supper the driver brought up the fresh team to hitch up, but said he would prefer resting few hours, as he had walked a great deal dur ing the day and was tired So we all consented to rest and went to bed and slept five hours, until 3 o'clock in the morning.
 It was 3:20 when we started and it was yet night, but the moon shone brightly and at o'clock day broke. At the end of league we passed Arituaba, ranche with a big white house upon a command ing eminence couple of hundred feet above the road, but close to it. The house can be seen for miles from both ways. It was erected by Don Francisco Serna, probably in time of Indian troubles.
 A little farther along the road we found a freighter's outfit pre- pairing breakfast. They kindly in- vited us to join them, which we were nothing 10th. They also gave the driver feed for his lean and hungry horses. l think that alone saved us a couple of hours, and was well worth the hour we devoted to the stop.
 Crowded together in the narrow seats we found the riding very un- comfortable. It became more so when the sun arose and the heat of the morning came on. Wherever the road was very heavy the driver got out and walked and Mir. Leon drove. Fortunately the woman of the preceding day was a way pas senger and had been left at El Tiro. 1 believe that we would have been overloaded beyond redemption had she been aboard.
 We were again in a cultivated portion of the valley, and the land scape was more pleasing.

time we covered about two leagues per hour. GA Spanish league is about 700 yards shorter than an English league.) But it was the old story: not enough barley, and buckskin instead. Soon the team slackened the pace, and about a league an hour was the best they could do. Finally, at 12:50, nine and one-half hours after leaving Las Trincheras we finished the last of the thirty five miles between that place and Santa Ana, and my trip was ended.
