NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer from Catarrh Knows that Salves, Lotions, Washes,
 Sprays and Douches Do Not

Powders, lotions. salves, sprays and in- halers cannot really cure Catarrh, because this disease Is a blood disease and local applications. If they accomplish anything at all, simply give transient relief.
 The catarrhal poison is in the blood and the mucus membrane of the nose, throat and trachea tries to relieve the system by secreting large quantities of mucus, the discharge som etimes closing up the nostrils. dropping into the throat, caus- Ing deafness by closing the Eustachian tubes, and after a time causing catarrh of stomach or serious throat and lung troubles.
 A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal remedy which will cleanse the blood from catarrhal poison and remove the fever and congestion from the mucous membrane.
 The best and most modern remedies for this purpose are antiseptics scientifically known as Red Gum, Blood Root and Hy- drastln, and while each of these have been successfully used separately, yet 1t has been difficult to get them all combined in one palatable, convenient and efficient form.
 The manufacturers of the new catarrh cure. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. have sue ceeded admirably In accomplishing this result They are large, pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching every part of the mucous membrane of the throat and finally the stomach.
 Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets coltain no cocaine opi- ate or any injurious drug whatever and are equally beneficial for little children and adults.
 Mir. c. R. Rembrandt of Rochester, N. Y says: T know of few people who have suffered as much as I from Catarrh of the head, throat and stomach. I used sprays. inhalers and powders for months at a time with only slight relief and had no hope of cure. I had not the means to make a change of climate, which seemed my only chance of cure.
 Last spring I read an account of some remarkable cures made by Stuarts Ca tarrh Tablets and promptly bought fifty cent box from my druggist and obtained such positive benefit from that one pack age that I continued to use them daily until I now consider myself entirely frea from the disgusting annoyance of ca tarrh my head is clear, my digestion all I could ask and my hearing which had begun to fail as result of the catarrh, has greatly improved until I feel I can hear as well as ever. They are a house. hold necessity in my family
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents for complete treat ment and for convenience. safety and prompt results they are undoubtedly the | long looked for catarrh cure thu-sat-suna

The Governor acquiesced and Campbell will further testify regarding the crime.

IMMENSE EXPENDITURES
To Be Made by the Railroads Of
 This Country.

The New York Commercial, in com menting on the improvement to be made during 1908 says:
 The railroads of the country will spend a larger sum on improvements and main tenance during 1903 than has ever been spent In any single year. Just how much will be spent 1t is impossible to estimate accurately. Some officials place the sum which the railroads will spend on main tenance and Improvements during 1903 at as high as $1, 900, ,0OO. 900.
 This Is probably an overestimate, but the sum will certainly be stupendous one. During the fiscal year 1901 the rail- roars spent $231 100000 on maintenance of way and structures and $l9O,0OO0CO on maintenance of equipment. Both of these expenditures will be greatly increased during 1903
 Not only will there be a greater wear and tear on the roadway and equipment of the railroads during 1903, as a result

IN A LONDON COURT
Scandalous Conduct of Mirthful Mary Before the Clerkenwell
 Sessions.

London Mail.
 The decorum of the Clerkenwell Ses- sions was again disturbed by Mary Mat thews, or "Mirthful Mary" who, when brought up at the previous sittings to be dealt with as an incorrigible drunkard, caused so much hilarity by singing snatchss of music hall songs that the Judge was compelled to order her re- moval.
 As soon as her cell door was unlocked yesterday she commenced to laugh and shout noisily. Come along. Mary; come along, do!' she exclaimed, in imitation of the jailer's voice.
 The Judge sent warder to tell her that he had asked an eminent counsel to ap- pear for her. She refused the offer, how ever, and was placed in the dock.
 The Deputy Clerk tried to read the in- dictment, but the louder he raised his voice the noisier the prisoner became.
 Now. ladies and gentlemen, good morning!" she exclaimed boisterously. "wer just have a quiet musical meeting all together. well.' she went on. eyeing the barrtsters' benches, well, Wiggies. How are you. wigsies dear2'
 The Judge interrupted her with the re- mark that he would be compelled to re- mand her again to Holloway Prison.
 
 But the Governor says he don't want me there, and he refused to let me out by the front gate when I asked him.
 The Judge-Be quiet.
 Matthews-Keep quiet? As If ever you knew a woman come into a court and keep quiet. It's not their nature to. I'm my own counsel and I'm entitled to talk.
 As the warder tried to suppress her un- seemly mirth, she sang:
 ''Oh, dear, oh dear, do let me be,
 For I'm certain we shall never agree"
 "I'il die my hair black" she added, "and then I can go out and get drunk again."
 The Judge-This is all assumed, and
 Matthews-I never assume anything. always take 1t for granted. There's hair!
 The Judge ordered her to be taken be- low. He explained to the jury that the jail doctor had certified that the woman was perfectly sane, and that her conduct was assumed
