There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in-
durable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires a constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured

A SIGNIFICANT DISCLOSURE.

The school census OF Dawson, when
has lust been completed, shows re-
markably small per cent of children
who have never attended school. An
interesting fact disclosed by the CELL
sus ia that there are only three negro
children in the city who have never
attended an institution Of learning.
This is significant. 1t means that
the desire for learning. is growing
ntrong with the negro race, and
that they are willing to slave and
sacrifice in order that their children
NAV 90 to school. On the other hand,
there is not a white family in Dawson
TOO Door to have it's children get the
benefit of a public school education,
and vet there are four children who
have thus far grown up without deriV'
ing the benefits from attendance upon
the free institution at their doors.
The figures must be changed. Race

WILL BREAK RECORD.
Cotton Exports Will Beat Year of
1901 by 81 1000, 900.

Washington June 14.-Cotton is still
king in the export records OF the
United States, and it's record in the
present year is likely to surpass that
of any preceding year. The value of
raw cotton exported in the eleven
months ending with MAY is, according
to the preliminary figures of the treas
ury bureau of statistics, $3O8, TAI, O95,
which is 100000 in excess OF the
highest eleven months record ever
heretofore made. The highest eleven
months figures recorded by this pre-
liminary statement in earlier years
were for the eleven months ending
with May, 1901, when the total stood at
1908, 497, 6l7. Should the June figures
equal those OF June in the Immediately
preceding years the total for the fiscal
wear would be 1917. O00,OO0 or "a, O0O, 600
in excess of the banner wear 1901.
The quantity exported this year is not
as great as that of the years 1898 and
1899, out owing to the higher prices
received the value is very mucn great
err than that of those years, and, as al
ready indicated, larger than that OF
the corresponding months OF any pre-
ceding year. asa

UNCLE HANKS YARNS.
A Very Good Specimen of an ExtraOrdi
nary Liar.

A reader OF The News in Dawson
has handed US the following, which he
considers as worthy OF place among
the productions OF the ablest prevarl-
Gators of the country:
THE ENTERPRIsING POTATO BUG.
Uncle Hank Allen WAS perhaps the
smoothest and most accomplished liar
in central New York. There we're
other ordinary country postotfice liars
in the beautiful village OF Eaton, New
York, where l was born, but Uncle
Hank could lie like gifted metropoli-
tan. Every night Uncle HANKS gro
Gerry was tilleo with listening citizens,
all paying the sGrictest attention when
ever the good old man spoke. When
Charlie Campbell or John Whitney
lied nobody paid much attention, be-
cause they were clumsy wOrkmen.
Their lies would not hold water like
Uncle Hanks. Why, the old mans
lies we're SO smoothe, so artistic, that
while listening to them you imagined
YOU were listening to Elder Cleveland 8
Bible stories.
One dav they were talking about pc.
tato buys in Uncle Hanks grocery.
Talk about potato bugs" said DR..
Purdy; "why, up in my garden there
are twenty bugs to stalk. "
Twenty bugs to a stalk! Only
twenty" unused Charlie Campbell, con-
temptuously: why, they ate up my
first crop of potatoes TWO weeks ago,
and they are nov setting all around the
lot on trees and fences waiting for me
TO plant them over again
"Why, YOU don't know ANYTHING
about the ravenOus nature OF them po-
later bugs" exclaimed Uncle Hank.
you may call me liar, but I've bad
potater bugs walk right inter my kitch-
en- and yank red hot pOtaters right
out of the oven!
waiting around pOtater patch
for a second crop!" exclaimed Uucle
Hank with sheer. Waiting? Whv,
gosh blast your sonl, was up to Town
sends store yesterday, and | saw pota-
ter bugs up there looking over Town
sends books To see who had bought
seed potaters for next year. l did, by
gum!"
The whole grocery was still when
! Uncle Hank finished, You could have
heard pin drop. Finally long lean
man from WoOdman's Pond raised
himself up. The stranger, evidently a
newcomer, and not acquainted with
Mr.. Allen, pointed his long Tiger al
Uncle Hank and exclaimed with a
! hise:
you are liarn'
Uncle Hank looked over his glasses
at the stranger long and earnestly.
Then holding out his hand inquired
with puzzled look:
Where did you get acquainted with
me-"

ONE MORE APPEAL.

The News has 80 often called the at
teution of the people of Dawson 10 Vae
GREAT need of better school oullolng
with seemingly no effect that II mas
almost become discouraged ana nearly
nersuaded to silence it's pleas. But
1he question is one that wilt not down.
and we renew our urgent petitions 10
th,s direction with the hope that per-
sistency may finally have some appre-
ciable result.
We believe there are is not an indi-
r;dpal in Dawson who will not admit
that the present school building is a
reflection upon the progressiveness
and enterprise of the town. But the
admission counts for nothing. There
seems to be an insuperable "but' at
the end of the statement. The water
works case and other possible drains
on the city treasury are offered as 90
jectiOns. .
But in the meantime, fellow cltlzens'
the old hulk out yonder is growing
more unseemly and more unsightly'
more disgraceful and more dlsreputa-
BILE. more dirty and more dangerous
Yes. actually dangerous, with its tim
hers decayiug under The attack OF tlme'
with its gaping cracks and winter
drafts, endangering the health OF the
children. 1t has ceased to be a case
of expediency; it is case of necessity
How long are we to tolerate thls
blotch on the fair name of our city and
its educational interests? Another
wear. another score, forever? There
is no excuse for longer delay. The
question is one which demands imme'
diate settlement.

proprieties that he was forced to abdi-
cate the throne. Had he not done so
assassination would have been his fate.
Indeed an effort WIS once made TO Kill
him, but the assassin WAS poor
marksman and his bullet struck an in
nocent bystander.
Alexander inherited all the bad
qualities of his father and none OF the
good ones of his mother, the unfOrtu-
nate Natalie. While a mere child, at
school ia Paris, he became known as 9
confirmed drunkard, gambler and rOue,
and his father was his companion or
many of his debauches.
When he assembled the throne. still
a youth, it was desired that he should
make match with some princess of
ROYAL blood. But so evil was his repu
tation that royalty throughout Europe
would have nothing to do with him,
and several Drincesses to whom over
lures were made Indignantly spurned
the suggestion. The car OF Russia
would not even permit him to visit ST.
Petersburg.
Probably in pique and for the added
reasons that the woman had achieved
great influence over him, he married a
widow some ten or fifteen years his
superior, who has been attached to his
mothers household establishment. She
was the Queen Draga who died with
him, and whose presence and influence
in the royal palace apparently had 10
small part in working the country and
the army up 10 the degree of anger and
resentment that made possible the hor-
rid butcherY of Wednesday night.
Alexander was born in 1876, and had
been on the throne about six or seven
years, during practically all of which
time he kept the country in a turmoil
with his personal quarrels, his de-
bauches and his high-handed acts of
government. His suspension of the
constitution few months ago is still
fresh in the minds of newspaper read
ers.

The McRea Bros, just across the
river in Alabama, were busy all day
Sunday with their harvesting machines
gathering their oat crop. From the
bluff out in the park one had good
view of the lowlands on the opposite
side of the river, and quite crowd
watched the work all day long. The
oats were ripening 50 rapidly and no
fair weather for saving them had come
during the previous week, 80 the
McRea boys took advantage of the
pretty day Sunday and put all their
machines to work, thus saving what
might have been lost If postponed.
The yield is said To be as fine as was
ever gathered from the land.

What's the Natter with Oad1

A rural contemporary prints the
following rather slangy but never
thelees original and touching tribute
To the father of the house,:
1--WE happened in home the other
night and over the pArlor door SAW
the legend worked in letters OF red,
'What Is u home without 4 mother"
Across tho room was another brief,
God bless our home.
"Now what's the matter with God
bless our dad: He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his
dinner-pail, ano wipes of the dew Ut
the dawn with his boots while many a
mother Ia sleeping. He makes the
weekly hand out for the butcher, the
grocer, the milKman and baker, and
his little pile is badly worn before he
has been home an hour. He stands of
the bailiff and keeps the rent paid
up.
"If there is a noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made 10
90 downstairs TO find the burglar and
kill him. Mother darns the socks,
but dad bought the socks in the first
place and the needles and the yarn
afterwards. Mother does up the fruit.
Well. dad bought it all and jars and
sugar cost like the mischief.
dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself, and draws
the neck from the ruins after every
one else is served. What is home
without MOTHER
Eyes that is all right; but what is 4
home without father? Ten cnaucee
tn one il is a boarding house, father il
under a slab, and the landiadY Is the
