AN E MEDICINE.

A New Discovery which Cures All
Forms Of Catarrh.
The tablet is the ideal form In which 70
administer medicine. but until recently no
successful catarrh tablet had ever been at

cellent and paIatable 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 oatarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying.
The old-time treatment OF cstarrh was

sprays, etc. Later on internal remedies
we're used with greater success. but being
In liquid or powder form were inconvenient

ties when opened or exposed to the air.
stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain highly
concentrated antiseptics, hydrastin, blood
root and red gum, which kill the catarrh
germs In the blood and mucous membrsaS
and in this respect are strictly scientific
and modern. because all authorities are
now agreed that oatarrh Is a constitutions
blood disease and local applications can
have only a transitory effect.
The use Of inhRlers. douches and spray:

Telegram 1.-THE joint debate between Con-
gresham Shallenberger and Judge Norris.

soldiers In the Philippines. Close attention

only political meeting which has drawn any
attention during this campaign. Messrs,

den Of your coming years work. for as goes

cities go, so will go America"
Multiplying the Congregations.
The second address was by Rev. Jay E.
Lynn Of Springfield. Ill, on Multiplying
Our Congregations in the Smaller Cities"
His remarks, in part, follow:
II is my province TO point out today one
OF the religious problems Of the Disciples OF
Christ In the smaller cities. From such
cities as these most OF US at this conven-
ton have come. These cities constitute an
important place in the urban life Of this
country and are becoming increasingly
more desirable for the manufacture of the
centers where are secured many of the ad-
vantages free from the Disadvantages OF
where our cause is best established, we
have at least one congregation OF Disciples
IN each OF these cities. In Texas there are
only. two cities of 5000 and ever In which
We have not a church, IN ohio two, in
MISSOURI one, In Indiana and Kansas and
Kentucky none. But I'm many of these cities
we have had one congregation for fifty OF
sixty years and in that time IL has never
sent out a single swarm from the parent
growing cities stiil hold 70 the village
church idea, that they have done their
duty in reaching the community, If they
maintain one strong central organization.
We should keep clearly In mind the diff
ference between splitting churches and
multiplying churches. Fractional move
ments among us are growing less and the
true spirit of gospel expansion is coming
In. Much depends upon the right spirit IN
the mother church. The spirit of 'parochial
unselfishness' must be cultivated. In de-
Gliding the location for a new church select
a good location. Don't handicap the new
movement by calling 1t a mission. call It a
church. from the first. Avoid incompetent,
would-be leaders. Let the mother church
willingly give up members and money. You
can't have an omelet without breaking
some eggs. The congregations wait In
movements OF this kind on the leadership
Of the preacher. Like a true leader of God
Jordan of opportunity into the waiting
promised land.
Assistant Secretary Speaks.
The closing address was a ''rouser' by
George B.. Ranshow Of Kentucky, assistant
secretary of the American Missionary So
ciety, who said that 1890 persons had
been baptized in the Disciples church in
twenty-six weeks of evangelistical work;
that the trend Of the time is toward union
ism; that federation is one step and
union in Jesus another; that the Disciples
are growing at the rate OF 5 per cent in
this decade because they teach the gospel
of truth as He would have it taught.
Before closing, announcement was made
that this afternoons session Of the
National Benevolent association, which
was to have been In the First Christian
church, would be In the Knox Presby-
terrain church, three blocks northeast Of the
Coliseum, because of the accident Sunday
at the First church.
The benediction was pronounced by Prof.
Stayr OF Drake university and the music
was being conducted by F. H. Cappa Of
| Ohio.

Big Cyanide Tank Bursts.

GAYvILLE, S. D., Oct. 22.-(special.)-
One Of the big tanks in the Gayville ~tailings
plant Of the Homestake Mining company
burst on Tuesday morning and damaged the
plant to the extent Of $4,000. The plant
had just been completed and was being put
in readiness to run, the work of filling the
tanks with solution of cyanide and tailings
having been just completed. The tank
which burst contained 1,150 tons Of taIlings
and solution, which when IL escaped washed
everything before it, wrecking the greater
part of the upper floor OF the building and
tearing out one Of its ends. The necessary
work of repair will take at least two
months, which is not figured in the damage
which has been inflicted to the building by
the accident.

Fencing the Reservation.

PIERRE, S. D.. Oct. 22.-- (special.)-The
work Of construction of the line of fence
along the north line OF Rosebud reservation,
a distance Of about seventy-hve miles, is
being pushed to get the work completed
this fall yet. A few days ago fifty Indian
teams were at 0acoma after wire for the
work. the poles having all been set, and
the wire is now on the ground for stringing.
This means that cattle which drift south
this winter will be stopped at White river,
and cannot get onto the reservation. The
range. along White river will be likely to
be closely fed down before spring, unless the
winter is extremely mild.
