A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made a close study and
specially of the treatment of catarrh,
has at last perfected treatment
which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but perrna-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all Inflammation. 1t IS

Provide Homcs for Americas Boys.

Secretary of Agriculture, Wilson,
in an address on the subject OF irr1-
eating the ard West, recently said:
"Ot course we hear the question,
what 1s the eastern farmer going to
say to all thisp Well, ] am init
mately acquainted with the Iowa
farmer. He knows better than to be
afraid of lew more homes in the
West. When l went home last
Fall the banks had more Iowa farm
er's money than they were able to
loan anybody, and the farmers
owned the country, and they had
all the improvements they could
think of, and they were going to the
British possessions to buy cheap
lands up there for their boys. Wet
some of those splendid valleys in
the Rocky Mountain country and
the Iowa farmers boys will go out
there and build up new homes on
them, and they will give you just
such neighbors out West az the men
and women as you have in Iowa.
That 1s the development of the
United States that / want to see.
And / want to say to you gentlemen
that i have all the confidence in the
world that you will move along con-
servative lines. You must not alarm
our eastern brethren by trying to
do everything all at once. This
great work will take time. 1t will
take many years to wet that land.
But we ought to begin now, and go
along carefully each year until the
great task is done. You will not get
very many dams built or neighbor-
hoods started before the eastern
business men will have their travel
ing men out there to sell goods, and
they will find it grand good thing
to have people out there to buy from
them. 1t will pay Just as it paid to
settle up the State of Iowa, and will
make such purchasing force there
al the world never saw before"

The chrysanthemum ranks third
as commercial flower, following
the rose and carnation preceding in
advantage, however, that while first
class roses and carnations, long
stemmed and luxuriant, can be
grown only with greenhouse tacili-
ties, the chrysanthemum under ordi-
nary conditions, with properly
directed and systematic culture,
yields protusion and perfection OF
bloom that can be surpassed only by
the efforts of the expert professional.

Ameadmeat to MIalnq Law.

Should the amendment to the
United States mining law, intro
duced by Kearns, of Utah, pass the
Senate it will do away with vast
amount OF litigation. The bill pro-
vides that the locator or possessor of
a claim shall have the exclusive pos
SESSION and ownership of all the sur
face thereof, and all veins or lodes
therein contained within the surface
lines thereof extended vertically.
Heretofore the right given the loca-
tor of a mining claim to follow the
so-called apex of vein into adjoin-
ing claims was prolific source of
litigation.

1t is supposed by many that plati-
mum is one of the few substances
more expensive than gold. This
however, is not 80, even allowing
that, bulk for bulk, platinum is
hardly less than twice as heavy as
gold. At the rate of $40 per troy
ounce, gold is worth nearly S235 a
pound, platinum only SIoo, If, though
you were the fortunate possessor of
platinum equal in bulk to a pound of
gold, the silvery-looking bulk would
be worth, not 500 but SI7s, Tor plati-

court, says the Tacoma Ledger.
The Indian who has been granted
land in severalty is decreed to be a
