A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, EaectuaI aud Convenient Cure
for Catarrh.

A New, EnectunI aud Convenient Cure
for Catarrh.
OF Catarrh remedies, there is no end, but
Of catarrh cures, there has always been q
great scarcity. There are many remedies
to relieve, but very few that really cure.
The old practice Of snufing salt water
through the nose would often relieve, and
the washes, douches, powders and inhalers
in common use are very little. II any, better
than the old fashioned salt water douehe.
The use OF inhalers and the application
OF salves. washes and powders to the nose
and throat to cure catarrh is no more
reasonable than to rub tire back TO cure
kidney disease. Catsrrh is Just as much
a blood disease as kidney trouble OF
rheumatism and It can not be cured by
local treatment any more than they can
be.
To cure catarrh whether In the head,
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the catar-
rhal poison out OF the blood and system,
and the new catarrh cure is designed on
this plan and the remarkable success Of
stuarts Catarrh Tablets Is because being
used internally, It drives out catarrhal in
fection through action upon stomach. liver
and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman OF St. Joseph relates
an experience with oatarrh which is OF
value TO millions OF eatarrh sufferers
everywhere. He says: 81 neglected a slight
nasal catarrh until It gradually extended
10 my throat and bronchial tubes and finally
even my stomach and liver became affected.
but as ! was able TO keep up and do a
days work l let Il run along until my
bearing began to fail me and then I
realised that l must get rid OF catarrh OF
lose my position, as l was clerk and M
hearing was absolutely necessary.
some OF my friends recommended an in
hAler. another a eatarrh salye. but they
we're no good In my case. nor was anything
else until / heard OF Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and bought a package at my drug
store. They benefited me from the start
and in less than four months l wa com
pletely cured OF eatarrh. although l had
suffered nearly all my life from a..
They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient TO use than other eatarrh
remedies hat feel can not say enough
in favor Of stuArt's CatArrh Tablets"

committee appointed to investigate the
charges against sergeant-at-Arms George

vestments stolen from the church would be
recovered and the thief placed in GUS

THREATEN SOUTHERNPAClFI
hachinists Talkof Pulling Out Their Men
on Western Road.
PRESIDENT O'CoNNtlL COMING TO OMAHA
REPORT that Southern Pacific Has
Been Working Men Overtime and
Has Discharged Those
Who Refused.

James oConnell, president OF the Inter
nstional Association OF Machinists, is com
ing TO Omaha at once and there is every
prospect that after a long surcease OF ac-
tivity there will be something doing in the
Union Pacific strike. Mr.. O'ConnelI is com
ing In response TO an urgent teleeraphic
request from Vice President Tom Wilson.
tent Tuesday. and he has wired that he
Will leave Washington Saturday. That will
bring him TO Omaha Monday or Tuesday.
The proposition is 70 pull out the ma
ehinists along the Southern Pacific. This
mas never been considered before during the
progress OF the strike. The boiler makers
have openly agitated taking out their
southern Pacific men, but the machlnists
have not made such plans before. But
since all efforts to have the fifteen South
ern Pacific engines in the service Of the
Union Pacific removed have proved fruit
less the extension OF the strike has been
contemplated.
Mr.. Wilson has been gathering data on
the attitude and condition of the men on
the western road and he now has the mat
ter all ready TO lay before President O'Con-
nell. The Southern Pacific, half anticipat-
ing a strike because Of the many reports
that II was to be extended. has been for
months working it's men overtime. night
and day, 30 as to get the motive power In
the best possible condition.
Basis for n Strike.
Two weeks ago Wilson succeeded in get
ting the overtime stopped, save for running
repairs. Since then q few men have been
discharged for refusing to work overtime.
That furnishes the basis for a strike, re-
lieving II Of all sympathetic elements.
Machlnists at headquarters here say that
from information received yesterday In re-
Spouse to queries there are 100 machinists
at Sacramento, all ready to go out. forty
min at Wadsworth In the same state Of
mind and nfty-two at ogden equally will
ing. Al the latter place there are three
nonunion men. All the others are union.
Reports from the other Southern Pacific
points are being gathered.
When Mr.. o'Connell comes he will be
given this information, the situation will
be explained and he will then be asked to
present the matter to the executive board
for a vote. This body refusing TO call out
the men, Wilson says the strikers here may
have to do It on their own responsibility,
as 1t IL the only effective course left to
them. Wilson says they are now financially
nxed to take the matter through on both
roads

Hitherto it has been supposed that
electric light is more injurious to the
eye-sight than other artificial light,
but Russian ocullsts who have been
closely studying the subject now main
tain that, on the contrary, 1t is less
injurious than the light either OF gas
or candles or any other material. AS
a reason for this statement they point
out that diseases of the eyes are In
proportion to the number of times the
eyes blink or wink when subjected to
artificial light, and that after numer-
GUS tests had been made it was found
that the eyes blink about seven times

about three times when exposed to

Mark out the words "order" or "bear-

the party to whom the note is given.
Make the note payable to him alone.
That makes you all right. II the
note is given in lieu of the contract
which the other party offers, just
write at the head Of your signature:

conditional upon the performance OF
