AN IDEAL MEDICINE.
A New Discovery which Cures All
Forms of Catarrh.

The tablet is the ideal form in which

Gently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted. There is now,
however, an excellent and palatable
remedy for catarrh in tablet form,
known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
sold by druggists, composed of the
most recent discoveries In medicine for
cure of catarrh and results from their
use have been highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh
was in the form of inhalers, washes,
douches, sprays, etc. Later on internal
remedies were used with greater sue

form were inconvenient to use and like
all medicines in liquid or powder form.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
highly concentrated antiseptics, Hy-

which kill the catarrh germs I'm the

this respect are strictly scientific and
modern, because all authorities are
now agreed that catarrh Is a constitu-

important figure in the coming election,
especially in Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey, Maryland and West Vir-

the strike will be settled before cleo

realized any material adye utage from

OSCAR THE ARBITER.
of Issues Growing Out of Samoan
Rebellion of 1890.

of Issues Growing Out of Samoan
Rebellion of 1890.
washington, Oct. 22.-An intimation
has been received here that King Os-
car of Sweden, who is acting as the
arbitrator of the issues between the
United States, Germany and Great
Britain growing out of the Samoan re-
bellion of 1899 will decide that the facts
presented to him in the briefs of coun-
sci, which have been pending for near
ly a year, warrant him in proceeding
to assess the damages sustained by
foreign residents of Samoa as result
of the landing of a combined force of
American and British sailors and ma
rines, and the destruction of property
incident to the ensuing fight with the
rebels. BY the terms of the treaty un-
der which the three Powers agreed to
submit these claims to arbitration, ar
bitrator was first to declare whether
or not the Americans and British were
at all liable for damages, and if so,
then he was to determine the amount
of that liability. He has, it is under
stood, concluded to decide the first
question in the affirmative. The next
step is to fix the amount of the dam
ages, and this must be done by King
Oscar upon the basis of the facts now
to be presented by the representatives
of the governments concerned. The
German claims are far larger than the
other, amounting to $103,91 while the
American claims are $77,605, and the
British only $6,285.
1t is not the amount of money in
volved in this approaching decision of
the arbitrator that concerns the gov
eminent of the United States, but
rather the enunciation of a principle
which, if accepted as precedent, would
be most unpalatable, and would so
seriously restrict the assertion of
American rights in foreign countries in
case of revolution or rioting leopard
zing the lives and property of our citi-
zens, that it would amount to the total
withdrawal of protection. This can
never be admitted and SO it may be
positively stated that while the United
States government viii accept the ar
duration loyalty and pay any damages
assessed against it, it will utterly re-
fuse to be bound by such a principle or
to recognize it as establishing a pre-
cedent Otherwise the United States
government could be held liable for
enormous damages in cases where it
landed troops upon the IsthnAus of
Panama, resulting in a collision with
rioters or rebels, even though the gov
eminent is solemnly bound by treaty to
preserve free traffic across the isthmus.
The United States could not land ma
rines in any of the West Indian or
Central and South American ports in
any emergency without risking liabili-
tV for heavy damages These con-
sideratiOns will lead to the declination
to recognize the decision as a precedent
and incidentally to the submission of
the next similar case to the Hague
tribunal in the hope of another and diff
ferent decision.
