Catarrh usually starts with cold in the
head, and if left unchecked in this climate,
rarely gets we'll of itself
AS fresh cold Is taken the disease spreads,
getting deeper and deeper, creeping along
the mucous membranes from nose to throat,
from throat to WindDiDe, from WindDiDe to
Droncnlal TUBES and from bronchial tubes to
lung cells
The mucous membranes all connect. one
with another. Hence it is easy to spread
from part to another lined with this
same membrane. This is why catarrh in the
head soon affects the throat and finally the
stomach itself, bringing on chronic catarrh of
the stomach, which is most obstinate form
of dyspepsia.
Everybody is now well agreed that catarrh
is blood disease and not local one. and
the attempt to cure by local applications sim
ply gives temporary relief from the purely
local symptoms without the remotest effect
in staying the progress Of the disease.
There is a new preparation recently offered
to the public that Is apparently destined to
do away with every other form of catarrh
treatment.
This remedy is not secret patent
medicine, but is a large, pleasant tasting tab
let composed of BloOdroot, Red Gum from
the eucalyptus tree, and other valuable and
harmless specifics, which are taken internally
and seem to have a remarkably beneficial
effect upon the blood and mucous men,
branes, apparently eliminating the catarrhal
poison from the whole system
These tablets, while being pleasant, con-
venient and absolutely safe to use, have
made cures III long standing cases of catarrh
that are little short Of marvellous. They are
sold by druggists under the name of Stuart $
Catarrh Tablets, and any catarrh sufferer
who has tried inhalers. lotions, ontments,
salves. etc, and realized their Inconvenience
and uselessness will fully appreciate the diff
ference between a mere palliative and a per-
manent cure after giving Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets an impartial trial.
All druggists sell them at so cents for full
sized package, and no matter where the ca
tarrh is located, in the head, throat, lungs
stomach, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets will
surprise you with the effective result Of even
few days use.

NINE. LEHMAN HERE
Spends Il Quiet Day in Preparation
for Tonight.

TOT IO-n1Snt.
Nine. Lilli Lehman arrived in Mime
apolis yesterday and has been resting
quietly at the West preparatory to her
concert tonight at the Lyceum theater.
Her program is most eXactng one in
Guiding a careful selection of gems Of
the classical and modern songs and a
group of excerpts from Wagners great
opera "Tristran and Isolde"
While Nine. Lehmann's supremacy as
an opera singer has somewhat over
singer, she puts into this delightful form
of vocalism the same finished art and
splendid intelligence that have raised her
to the greatest heights in the operate
world. She does not consider operatc
training a necessity to the concert singer
but believes that such training gives her
a great advantage. The training in act
ing is invaluable. This Nine. Lahmann
illustrates marvellously in her renditions
of great dramatic songs such as THE Fri
King" which she will sing tonight. She
does not move but still the art of the
actress is employed quite as much as that
of the singer in securing the thrilling
effect.
Nine. Lehmann's personality is as i'm
pressiye and attractive as her vocal pow
ers and this adds UNNECESSARILY to the
pleasure of her hearing her. She is a
woman of tall, imposing figure such as
is demanded for the heroic roles of the
Wagner music drama and every line of
her face proclams the strength of her
character. She employs no articles to
conceal her yaers and her hair is piled
on her head in abundant and beautiful
gray masses that give a charming and
softening touch to her classic features.

Owing to Objections of the
Defense.
sVerv little progress has been made in
taking evidence in the Megaarden case
which has been in progress for one and a
half days.
1t has been shown that bill for the
month of March, 1900, on which is based
the indictment charging him with fraud
ulent presentation Of bill to public off,
GERS for payment, was allowed by the
board of county commissioners on April
16, 1900, but 1t has not been shown that
the bill was paid The defense has re-
fused to admit the bill itself as evidence
that it was allowed. and A. P. Erickson,
deputy county auditor, and former County
Commissioner Charles Wilkin were on the
stand yesterday afternoon to testify re-
garding the commissioners warrant,
drawn in payment Of the bill. They tes-
titled as to their signatures and that the
number on the warrant was the same as
on the bill, but had no independent rscol-
lection of the transaction and did not
know that the warrant was paid. OBJ
| lection was made TO the Introduction Of
! the warrant and the objection was sus-
| tanned. -@
Charles Nickels, deputy county treas
urer, testified regarding the manner of
| conducting business in the treasurer s
| office. Sometimes the treasurer's checks
were made payable direct to the sheriff

Thomas F. Hurley, cashier of the Sc
curity bank and oliver o. Wilson, receiv-

duction of the deposit slip was sustained
! as it was not shown where it had come
from. At this point court adjourned un-

SAYS DELAY COST $3.50
Suit of G. o. Seymour Against West

Suit of G. o. Seymour Against West
ern Union.
A suit which may determine the duty
of telegraph companies toward their pat
rons is being heard by Judge Bum, of ST.
Paul. G. o. Seymour seeks to recover
damages from the Western Union tele-
graph company for loss alleged to have
been sustained by him through the failure
of the company to transmit and deliver a
telegram within reasonable time. He
says he telegraphed from st. Paul his
acceptance of a two weeks engagement at
Detroit and Syracuse, paying twice the
regular tariff in order to insure immedi-
ate delivery. The message was filed at
IL 20, and, he says, should have been de-
livered in Chicago before 1 o'clock, but
was not delivered until 4:30, in conse-
quence of which he lost an engagement
worth $3.50.
The company says that Seymour paid
only the usual rates. that the message was
not filed until 1880 and not paid for un-
til about 3 o'clock but was delivered
prior to $3.50. The company takes the
ground that it is not liable for more than
the cost of the message unless it's i'm
portance is disclosed to the company.

Owatonna, Mimi, Jan. 25.-The Ovation
ma team of debaters, consisting of Miss
Leona Ostrander and John Quinn and
Frank Chambers, were awarded the deci-
+ sion over the Austin team in the first dis
trict contest Of the Minnesota High
School Debating League which took place
in the Metropolitan opera house in this
city last evening. -,.. ~ =. ...r -.
The large auditorium was packed until
standing room only was to be had A
| large delegation from Austin arrived on
the afternoon train to support their cham
p1ons and great interest in the debate was
shown by Owatonna people, many of whom
were unable to gain entrance to the opera
! house:
The question debated was, Resolved
That capital punishment should be abol-
ished,' Austin maintaining the affirma
tive and Owatonna the negative side
Cecil Freeman Of the Austin debaters
opened the argument for the affirmative
John Quinn was the first speaker fort the
negative and his remarks were forcibIe
and showed he had given the subject much
study and had it well in hand. The next
speaker, Robert Carter of Austin, ad.
vanced his points in an effective manner
Miss Leona Ostrander, Owatonna, was
next heard in a scholarly argument, il
| which she did much toward gaining the
! favorable opinion of the judges. The ar.
| guments were closed in well-deliveret
| speeches by Gordon Christie of Austi1
| and Frank Chambers of Owatonna fol
| their respective sides.
! Miss Ostrander, Owatonna, began tn,
rebuttal with a fine impromptu talk Ceci
| Freeman came first for the Austin re
buttal and others took their turn will
logical statements and witty remarks
| tending to detract from the points mad
! by their opponents.
| The Austin debaters, even though de
| feated by the Owatonna team, deserve,
| great credit for their efforts, whicl
proved them to be debaters of more thai
average skill and ability.
The judges of the contest, Professor
Edgar George of Mortified and John Ed
mund of Claremont and Rev. D. +
Thompson of Waseca, repaired to an ante
room to make their decision. During tn
intermission chorus of high school stu
dents sang selection. The decision wa
then announced by Superintendent Georg
of Mortified, who stepped to the stag
and said: Ladies and gentlemen-Th
judges have awarded the decision in thi
debate to Owatonna." From his deliver
it could be taken that no comment wa
called for inasmuch as the OWatonn
team had clearly outclassed it's or
pOnents.
The audience loudly applauded and tn
yells of the Austin and Owatonna hig
schools were given with vim.

done by lie Sueur for making the evening
pleasant one for the audience and the

no match for the exceptionally strong

Duluth. Mimi, Jan. 25.-The first Of the
nter-district series OF debates pet"een
schools represented in the state depating
league, took place last night at the hlgn
school auditorium. The teams contest
ing were St Cloud and Duluth.
According to the terms OF the leagues
makeup, the winning school in each con-
gressional district debates against the
leading team of its neighboring section
until the contest narroWs to two teams
who will meet in final contest at the
uniyersity BY this same agreement Du-
luth and st. Cloud got their respective
dist ricts by default, no other school hay
ing entered in these districts.
The subject for all the debates is, Re
solved: That Capital Punishment Should
Be Abolished'' AS this was given out
months ago. all the teams have had time
in which to prepare good arguments and
perfect delivery. st. Cloud took the at
f1rmatiye.
Last nights debate was before large
audience, chiefly high school students.
Duluth's team was Esther Searle, Sumner
Smith and Louis zalk; st. Clouds.
Thomas Branley, Thomas Ervine and Ran
dali Harrison. The judges We're two
two members of the Superior normal lac
ulty and a Duluth attorney
The debat occupied two hours and was
sharply contested. but SO decislvely
stronger were St. Cloud arguments and so
clearly did Branley and associates answer
the arguments on the negative that the
decision of the judges was by to 1 on
the first ballot favorable to them.
Duuth's delivery was possibly smoother
though St. Cloud was excellent in this
regard also, but it was largely sharpness
of statement and quickness in argument
and answer that won. The Duluth school
is therefore entirely out of the contest
this year.

E. Searle, chairman Of the republican
committee of the Eighth district, and a
