RUSSIA ANSWERS
BRITISH NOTE
Resents England's Con-

Convention
Declines Further Exchange
of Views Until Com
mission Acts

ST. PETERSBU RG, Jan. T.-Eussia has
replied 10 the British note of November
80 last on the subject of the sugar con-
vention- She reiterates the views e%-
pressed in previous notes, says she con-
siders the British contentious to be at
tcmpts to interfere in her domestic legis-
lation and repUdiates the idea that an
other state may in its own interest press
for a change in Russian internal legisla-
tion, or IN the event Of Russia not agree
ing to its proposals that il can penalize
Russia products without violating exist
ing commercial treaties The note de-
clares that Russia can in no eventuality
give her adhesion 10 the Brussels agree
ment and concludes:
AS Great Britain declines arbitration
and as the penalty clause cannot be aD-
piled TO Russian sugar until the internG-
ticnal commission declares the Russian
system TO be a bounty system, any further
exchange of views before the commission
settles the positions would not b. Droduc-

some simple, harmless. effective antiseptic
remedy like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
should be used 10 ward off any possible

All Of these formidable diseases start
from a common cold, neglected or allowed

what it may become If neglected.
Perhaps no remedy is so safe. reliable
and convenient TO stop a cold or obstinate
cough as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
The extract Of blood root contained in
them combined with the red gum of the
Eucalyptus tree seems to put the mucous
membrane Of the nose, mouth and throat
in a condition TO throw off the germs of
catarrh, bronchitis and consumption, and
as they are taken internally they seem TO
equalize the circulation and place the

little assistance is necessary, and this is
best given by the use Of some harmless

Il is a notorious fact that cough drops
and cough syrups are largely composed of
opium, cocaine and similar drugs that
have no curative power.
It is also true that many popular LIQUID
medicines and tonics for catarrh depend
upon the alcohol they contain, which gives
simply a temporary stimulation of no real

A Well Kept Secret.

Our readers will perhaps re-
call the fact that late nJanuary,
1902, one Richard Graham and
Miss Louise White, both pur-
porting to hail from Chicago,
dropped down into our town,
with Recorder Mason, made
visit to Rev. Franc. Mitchell,
and left on the evening train
bearing a certificate of mar
riage signed by the above
and, after a brief interview
named divine.
We supposed these facts,
which were published in the
COURIER at the time, were by
this time well known wherever
the principals might be. It was,
therefore, a surprise to hear that
Bro. Mitchell has learned By
a private letter from an old Call
laway friend residing in Kinks
Vile, Mo-. that the parties are
still living in that town, which,
by the way, proves to be their
present place of residence, as
Richard Graham and Miss Louise
White.
: Their secret has been well kept,
but as this COURIER runs fast
and far they can hardly expect
to remain hidden much longer.

earth. Many of my custom
ers openly say it is the best.
Probably they are right. But
this is q big world and there
are lots of good things in
it. Still there isn't a better
Coffee than Blanke's any
where-north, south, east or
west. My way of selling this
Coffee is to give people their
money back if they don't
like it. The price is % cents
