AT FIRST GLANCE
1t Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.

1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being disease of the mucous
membrane that salveS, sprays, etc, be-
ing applied directly to the membranes
Of the nose and throat. would be the
most rational treatment, but this has
been proven not to be true
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood. and catarrh is
a blood disease, and any remedy to
make a pern1an nent cure must act on the
blood, and when the blood is purified
from catarrhal poison, the secretions
frem the mucous membrane will become
natural and healthy.
In this climate. thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from some form
of catarrh; it gets better at times. but
each winter becomes gradually deeper
seated, and after a time the sufferer re-
signs himself to it as a necessary evil.
Catarrh cures are almost as numerous
as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all
so inconvenient and ineffective as to
render their use a nuisance nearly as
anncving q catarrh itself; anyone who
has used douches. sprays and powders
will boar witness to their inconvenience
and failure to really cure.

agreement was not adhered to by a
majority of the roads which signed il
The first violations discovered were in
the issuance of complimentary an
nual passes to the presidents and vice
presidents of the most important west
ern lines. While "annuals'' have not
been issued to minor officials of the
western lines. they have been supplied
with special tickets, for which only a
nominal sum or nothing was paid.
At a meeting in this city last month
the executive officers of western rail-
roads adopted a resolution that no
passes should be issued to any repre-
sentative of a railroad east Of RllffaIo
and Pittsburg unless it issued exchange
passes to agents of the western lines
A committee, with A. G. Bird vice pres
ident of the St. Paul system. az chair
man, was appointed to confer with the
eastern presidents regarding the ex-
change of passes in 1903, and to report
the result of the conference to the west
ern lines at meeting to be held in this
city it is said. not later than Deccm-
ber 2. No conference has been held
The western committee here received
intimation from the east that no con-
ference would be necessary, because
the anti-pass agreement of the eastern
lines would not be renewed.

EAGAN MUST BE DEAD.
Sad and Mysterious End of Railway
Division Superintendent.

Nothing has been heard from Benjamin
F. Eagan, superintendent of the. Kalispel
division of the Great Northern railroad,
who disappeared last Tuesday while hunt
ing near Bolton, Mont, and for whose
recovery $1,000 reward has been offered.
Hundreds of theories have been advanced
to account for the mysterious disappear
ance, but none have led to any tangible
results. Eagan is well known all over the
west and his disappearance has caused
wide interest and regret.
Benjamin F. Eagan was born in Amboy,
H., in 1862; He did his first railroad work
with the Chicago Milwa ukee and st. Paul
in 1880 as a call boy, and filled successive
X all the intermediate positions until he
became superintendent. He came west in
the early '90s and went shortly after that
to Chicago and later went with the Great
Northern. He was married in 1883 to Miss
Anna Star at Amboy. Ill. He has two
brothers. one, A. H. Eagan. superintendent
of terminals of the Illinois Central at Chi
cago, and John NJ. Eagan, president of
the Central and Georgia railroad, with
headquarters at Savannah. Peter j..
Eagan, formerly with the Illinois Central
at Chicago, who died in Denver several
years ago, also a brother. NJ r.

TALK ABOUT LEMONS.
President Ripley Gives the Details of
His Citrus Fruit Scheme.

In interview at Los Angeles on his
recent visit President Ripley of the Santa
Fe said that he wouldn't have an electric
street railway system in Los Angeles in
connection with the Santa Fe if he could
and said the rumor that he was con-
sidering making an ally of the Traction
street railway system of that city was
without foundation.
Concerning the new storage plan intro
duced by him for the benefit of the lemon
growers he said:
This is simply an experimental plan
so far, which 1 have laid before the
lemon men of southern California. 1t is
not plan to store lemons when there is
a glut in the market during the winter,
but to hold practically all of the crop un-
til a season when lemons are in demand.
1t is not during the winter that people
want lemons, but during the summer. We
have agreed to try the experiment of
storing lemons in Chicago for the grow
ers, and caring for them systematically.
day by day. until the season of the great
est demand is reached. Then, if the per-
centage of rotten fruit during storage can
be kept down to a minimum, all concern
ed will profit more by their sale. To try
the experiment we have agreed to trans
port and store lemons free of charge
until they are sold later in the season
Then the charge for freight and storage
will be only the sound portion of cror
remaining. and not on that which may
have been lost. On the proportion lost
the railroad and the growers will lose
alike The success of the plan is yet tc
be demonstrated"
The rate on lemons this year will be
81 fiat on 100 pounds, when shipped in
carload lots President Ripley says there
will be no change in the orange rate now
in effect. The refrigerator car rate has
been considerably reduced by the discon-
tinuance by the Santa Fe of the Armour
lines cars Mr.. Ripley stated that the
railroad is planning to use 1.5e0 more
cars in the citrus fruit traffic this year
than last.
