A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
 Catarrh Sufferers.

Tn it's earlier stage catarrh is more of a nuisance than a menace to the general health, but sooner or later, the disease extends to the throat, bronchial tubes and even to the stomach and intestines.
 Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous membrane. the local symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucous, stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gag ging and frequent clearings of the throat and head.
 The usual treatment by local touches, snuffs, salves, etc, often gives tempor- ary relief, but anything like a cure can only be obtained by a treatment which removes the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the in- fiammation from the mucous surfaces.
 A new remedy which meets these re- quirements and which so far has been re- markedly successful in curing catarrh Is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
 These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hardly be called a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as Blood root, Hydrasin, Red gum and similar cleansing antiseptics. which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large pledSdIl ldbtlIlB lOZtIBtS tdktIl y, allowing them to dissolve slowly In the mouth. In this way they reach the throat, fauces and the entire alimentary canal.
 If desired, they may also be dissolved in water and used as douche, In addition to the internal use, but 1t is not at all necessary to use a douche; a few of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be suf- ficient. However, when there Is much stoppage of the nose, a douche made from these tablets will give immediate relief, but the regular daily use inter- nally of these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without.resorting to the inconvenience of douche.
 pr. Bement states that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the place of the old plan of douching and local application and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contained in this tablet."i
 Druggists sell Stuarts Catarrh Tablets at fifty cents for full sized packages Ask your druggist and If he is honest he will tell you there is no safer, more palata ble, more efficient and convenient remedy on the market.

three hundred in number, who seem to have been Cafmagnola's special troop. He remonstrated, and upon receiving no reply to his remonstrance, set out at once for the fortress determined to meet his enimies at court; for, generous and impulsive as he was. he could not believe that such treatment emanated from the friend for whom he had done so much Arrived at the fortress. he was about to ride over the bridge with his few attend ants when he was stopped by the guards. This, to Carmagnola, was an extraordln- ary insult. But he sent word to Philip he was there and desired an audience. Instead of being admitted with apologies. as he still hoped the answer was sent that Philip was busy Curblng his rage, the proud soldier sent another message. bvt to this no reply was given. In the words of the historian, we are told. Then, as he scanned the dark. unre. sponsive towers with angry eyes, he saw, or thought he saw. the face of Philip himself, at loophole. This lit the smolderlng fire of passion. He raised his voce-no small voice. 1t may well be be- lieved-and shouted forth his message to his ungrateful master. Since I cannot speak before my lord. the duke" he cried "I call God to witness my innocence and faithfulness to him. I have never taken
 
 life. in compassion with the name and power of Philip" Then he accused the perhdious traitors, and called God to wit ness that in short time he would make them feel the want of one whom the duke refused to hear" The pathetic fury of his wounded feelings is more amazing when we remember that in the fateful conflicts between the republics of Italy. the soldier of fortune. with his brave fol- lowing, fought today on one side and to- morrow In behalf of a higher and. more prosperous bidder. Just at this time the republics of Venice Florence, Milan and Genoa were in a precarious condition, and each was distrustful of the other. Tn the midst of he turmoil and strife carmag- noa presents himself at Venice And when the great soldier, known of all men he, who had set Philip back upon his throne as everybody knew, and won so many battles and cities,-with all the TO- mantle interest of hero and an injured man, came across the lagoon and landed at the Piazzetta between the fatal pillars. how he and his scared and bearded men at-arms must have looked at the gay courtiers with their jests and laughter" Carmagnolia is at once made commander in-chief

SELMA.
Alabama River Is Expected to Con-
 tinue Rising.

Selma, February 11.-(Special.) )-River Observer Bayne has received notice that the Alabama at this point will likely go to 52 feet by Friday night, the heavy rains of last night being responsible for the increased rise.
 On April g. 1902, the government guage recorded the highest point reached by the river at 50.7. In 1886 there was no guage record but from the measurement of the present guage, 1t must have reached 62 feet in the channel.
 This morning at clock the guage as taken by MT. Bayne showed 44.S. At noon the water had risen a foot and two- tenths, recording 45.5
 Yesterday morning the guage measured 39 feet, showing that rise of five and three-tenths feet had been recorded dur ing the past twenty-four hours.
 The water is now all over the baseball park on the southside of the river and if 1t goes to the mark of 52 feet It will stand one or two feet deep in the road across the river.
 Hundreds of citizens, including many ladies, have been down to the bridge to- day watching the swollen waters the big river being a never ending source of curiosity.

 Mir. William Pfeiffer writes from 300 Bank street Cincinnati, O.. as follows: | "Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, O.: Dear Doctor-owing to the fact that | have been troubled with catarrh and was i cured by your medicine (Peruna). I can not express my thanks to you for the health I am now enjoying. My case of ca | tarrh Is one which has been in my sys- tenn for years before I knew what was wrong. It was going from bad to worse, l nf fn an fnte for treatment The doctor in charge said my nose would have to be operated upon. Having no confidence in the operation he wanted to perform, I at once began to take Peruna, which Is our family remedy. 1 also followed your directions in the | book, Winter Catarrh, for which my mother sent. and found relief. Shortly ar- ter l suffered with a heavy cold. but re- covered from that, and am now very | healthy.
 T cannot express my thanks to you | for the service your medicine has rem | dered me. and recommend it as the best remedy for 'catarrh, as I am one who has been cured by your medicine. William | Pfeiffer, Jr.
 cnly by systemic treatment. remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the nerve centers. This Is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve centers which grve vitality to the mucous membranes. Then eatarrn disappears; then it Is permanently cured. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to pr. Hartman giving n full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis

ACREAGE SIGNED YESTERDAY
Comparison of the Croton and the
 Proposed Tonto Dams.

The acreage signed yesterday to the Water Users association exceeded that of the day before, aggregating 5000. There are only five days more in which to receive contracts, and they will probably all be -busy ones. There are some contracts being prepared that will surely come in, but are not count ed yet. It is safe to say that the aver age for the rest of the time will be at least 1000 acres per day and possibly three times as much.
 Aside from the signing up nothing of general interest occurred at the asso- citation rooms yesterday. MT. Davis is still here consulting with the assccia- ton officials. and when the books are closed he will have a personal knowl- edge of conditions here that he' could not have secured through correspond ence alone.

ing water. The picture is also accom- panied by some details of the big en- lerprise. A comparison between the Croton dam and the proposed Tonto cam may he interesting to some as showing the economy of the latter, or rather sf owing how much more it is proposed to accomplish in the west, where labor and freights arc high, for less than SS,O00,00O. than can be done in New York City for $S.000.000. This is rot because the people of the west are any wiser, but because there seems to be no place on earth where natural and artificial conditions are both SO favo able for success at at the Tonto dam. It is a vindication of the oft re- peated statements of the geological survey and the one thing that makes the interior department so anxious to construct the Tonto dam if the people will do their part.
 The Croton dam, which is to cost nearly three times as much. will i'm pound but one-seventh as much water. Its lake will be but nineteen miles long. while the Tonto lake will be twenty five miles long. The Croton lake will be marrow, while the Tonto lake will in places be between three and four miles wide and much deeper. The Croton dam will be 2,500 feet long. while the Tonto dam will only be 2S5 feet long,
