INGALLS, TO MAKE
 RAGE FOR MAYOR
PRESIDENT OF BIG FOUR RAIL ROAD WILL BE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IN CINCINNATI, AND WARM RACE IS EXPECTED.

Cincinnati, February 25.-Considerable stir was occasioned here tonight by M. E. Ingalls,, president of the Big Four rail- way system, signifying to d committee of twenty-six citizens his acceptance of the democratic nomination for mayor of Cincinnati.
 While he will head the regular demo- cratic city ticket he has been requested to accept the nomination by citizens re- gardless of party and his acceptance is generally recognized as meaning an unus- ually hotly contested campaign in this city for the next month.
 The city is normally republican by large majority, but for some time there has been an organized fusion movement. The independent republicans stated that they would not ask for fusion or a citi- zens ticket if MT. Ingalls, would head the democratic ticket.
 The republican city convention will be held next week. but there is no prediction yet as to the nominee for mayor. The real contest in the city is on George B Cox the recognized republican leader, but it is intimated that the candidacy of Mir. Ingalls for mayor will be followed by his candidacy for the governorship this year and possibly for the presidency next year and that the movement is very significant after the fact of the conferences held in Washington and elsewhere.

So Says Ssni-OfIciaI Report
 Aaoat in Chicago,
YOAKUM TO HAVE CHARGE
For Share of Frisco Common Rock Island Is to Pay $2o In Cash, $45 In Az Per Cent Bonds and
 $55 In Preferred Stock.

Chicago February 25.-The Record Herald tomorrow will say:
 Ut is reported on almost official au- thority that the Rock Island has secured control of the Frisco system, and that the deal Is the forerunner of new and far-reaching community of interests among western lines.
 within one or two months, according to the report, the Rock Island will be given representation on the Santa Fe board and the Santa Fe interests will have an equal representation on the Rock Island board.
 "'The terms on which the Frisco passes to the Rock Island are said to be as fol- lows:
 For every share of Frisco common stock. S20 in cash, $45 in AZ per cent bonds and S55 in Rock Island preferred stock.
 Tt is also reported that President Yoakum will be placed in charge of the new Rock Island system, which will be one of the largest, if not the largest, sys- tenn in the world under one management. The acquisition of the Frisco would add about 5000 miles to the Rock Island, mak- ing it a system of nearly 13,000 miles. Should the Pere Marquette be included, the system would be over l4,0OO miles"

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, EffectuaI and Convenient Cure
 For Catarrh.

Of catarrh remedies, there's no end, but of catarrh cures there has always been a great scarcity. There are many rem edes to relieve. but very few that really cure.
 The old practice of snuffing salt water through the nose would often relieve, and the washes, douches, powders and enhal- CTS in common use are very little, If any, better than the old fashioned salt water douche.
 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 the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is Just as much a blood disease as kidney trouble or rheumatism and it cannot 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 ca tarrhal poison out of the blood and sys- tenn and the new catarrh cure is design- ed on this plan and the remarkable sue cess of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is be- cause being used internally, 1t drives out catarrhal infection through action upon stomach, liver and bowels
 William Zimmerman of St. Joseph re- lates an experience with catarrh which is ol value lO mlllOnS CT caIarrn sufferers everywhere. He says: T neglected a slight nasal eatarrh until 1t gradually extended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became effected, but as I was able to keep up and do days work let 1t run along until my hearing began to fail me and then l realized that l must get rid of catarrh or lose my position as I was clerk and my hearing was absolutely neees- sary.
 Some of my friends recommended an in- haler another catarrh salve but they were no good in my case. nor was any thing else until l heard of Stuarts Ca- tarrh Tablets and bought package at my drug store. They benefited me from the start and in less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh, although I had suffered nearly all my life from it.
 They are pleasant to take and so much more convenient to use than other catarrh remedies that feel cannot say enough in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets"
