There is more Catarrh in this section oil
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For many
years doctors pronounced it a local dis.
ease, and prescribed local remedies, and
are constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Silence, has proven catarrh to be con.
stitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu,
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case (,

A Picturesque Statesman.

The Ell Dorado Republican gives pic
ture of an early statesman and his pic
turesque attire: When the Hon. David
l.. McCabe WAS elected to the legisla-
ture from Butler county in 1885 and
went To Toneka to be sworn in he as
tonisEed not only the natives, but ev-
erybody e!se. as he was the most gor-
geously dressed statesman that Kansas
had ever produced. He was very dark,
with long black hair. On his head was
a coonskin eap, the tail of the coonskin
hanging gracefully down his back. His
coat was made CT wolfskins nicely tan
ned and lined with rcd flannel Six
handsome tails Lung from his coat tails
and Tapped in The breeze as he mean
dered up to tic speakers desk to take
the oath. He wore Il spotted doeskin
vest, bucksliin knee brooches, hand
somely frhegd; top loots, gloves made
of beaver skin, Il watch chain done In
beadWork, Il flannel shirt with n fam
Ing red bandannd ICcl,Ct handkerchief
around his n2ck, and it is needless to
say he created II sensation.

world They ran shouting toward the
house, of course they said 1t was to give
the women folks chance to look at the
majestic beast. However their shouts
changed the mind of the moose who
began to retrace his steps and recrossed
the bridge near James Harmon's house
and slowly wendell his way towards the
forest, stopping once to look around
giving all a chance for a good look at
him before he bounded over the fence
into a pasture and disappeared from
sight among the bushes. There was
quite a perceptibe limp to his gait,
plainly showing that at some time be
had met with an accident. Later he
waa seen in the pasture with c. B.
Chase's cattle.

on the ground that it would tend to impair
the usefulness OF the library. To place toll
bridge between the reading public and the
library would be tenfold worse than to charge
for cards.
Now what ought to be done2 The writer
of this article has not hesitsted and does not
now hesitate to say that the vote taken at the
town meeting on the evening Of July II was
serious mistake The shortest possible
notice, seven days only, was given the town,
| of the meeting which was to deal with a
subject of SO far reaching importance to US
all. 1t was held in haying time when people
could not attend. 1t was called at seven
O'Clock p. M, a time when farmers were
Just done with days haying and the nights
seems to be something hitherto unprecedent
ed in the history of the town. Under the cir
cumstances, considerable less than hundred
voter were present at the meeting, and nine
tenths of the citizens from the north side Of
the river
The vote cannot be satisfactory to the ma
jority Of the citizens of Norridgewock. 1t is
our duty as patriotic citizens of the town to
attend in full numbers the town meeting
about to be called for the purpose OF recon
sidering this matter, and then and there offer
our resolutions of respect to Miss Clark and
her generosity and explain to her what would
be the practical result of her gift, if accepted;
and she, being the liberal, broad minded, un
selfish person that she is, will see her way
clear to assist the library in some other way
equally creditable to herself and at the same
time calculated to further the largest and best
interests of the public.
If the library should be allowed to be
moved to the north end of the toll bridge, its
usefulness to south side citizens would be
practically shut off; if the people of the south
side see no advantage in the library, it will
be very hard to persuade them to vote to
raise money to support it and probably i'm
possible.
