There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and I'M til the last few years it was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful- 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testimonials.

place but Rutland they are doing
their duty admirably.
"We do not despair of our commits
sioners. From photographers
standpoint they appear like Eastwood
images; but possibly they have un-
consciously assumed that appearance
from their deep contemplation of the
intricacies of the new law. That they
have been silent and solemn and i'm
potent goes without saying. We still
think that they have the spark of life
in them. They can gather evidence
of violations of the liquor traffic in
this city like picking berries from
bush. We even think that before the
year is through they will ask the
states attorney to file an information.
Such a show of energy may shock
them at first, but we predict that they
will do it."-Rutldnd Herald.

Bulgaria appeals to the powers to
intercede against Turkey but there is
no more indication that the European
nations, which regard themselves as
Turkeys keeper, will act with any
greater promptness than in the case
OF Greece. There will be just so
much blood spilled, just so much
slaughter, reprisal and rapine, before
Bulgaria's appeal will be seriously
considered. Bulgaria may have be-
come devastated in the meantime and
Turkey financially ruined beyond all
recovery, but it requires such ex-
tremes TO influence the powers.
Intercession in quarrels OF nations is
fraught with the same dangers as is
interference between individuals and

thy. Europe is so prosperous she
wants to be let alone. Whoever dis
turbs her will be the one to suffer-

Havoc on Land and Sea.

The severe storm of wind and rain
which swept the Atlantic coast last
Wednesday caused great damage to
property in New York city and
number of people lost their lives. AT
noon the wind had attained velocity
of so miles an hour, church steeples
were loosened, windows blown in and
the famous fiatiron building was
rocked. The damage to the shipping
was heavy both in the harbor and
along the coast. Fifteen men lost
their lives in two wrecks off Pemaquid
Point, Me-, during the gale Thursday.

HIGH LICENSE IN RUTLAND.


The following editorial which is
copied from the Rutland Herald, P. w.
Clements paper, shows plainly that
the license law is not working to the
complete satisfaction of its friends.
However the Herald is facing the
music in very commendable manner
and instead of trying the "whitewash"
method is doing what 1t can to bring
"Not long ago the Herald expressed
the hope and expectation that the
license commissioners Of this city
would do their sworn duty. This was
perfectly natural hope and expecta-
ton, but we made the remark because
down to that time the commission had
accomplished nothing worthy of mem
ton. Kitchen bars were in full blast,
and quite a number OF persons hold
ing licenses were not conducting
business strictly according to law.
Aside from one nights unsuccessful
raiding and one raid and conviction,
the commission had nothing to show
by way Of a proper administration Of
the license. local option law in this
city. That drunkenness had increased
there was 20 doubt. That the local
public had become nervous over the
license situation was equally true.
The commission seemed to be hitched
to post. Disclosures in open court
were promptly passed over to the
commission by the grand juror, and
complaints were lodged by others,
The commission claimed that these
complaints were not put in legal form,
and so nothing was done.
Finally the Local Option league
took the matter up. 1t appealed to
the sheriff department to go to the
very places where the commission't
officers had raided unsuccessfully
and the sheriff and his deputies hac
no trouble at all in finding as much
liquor as they could lug away. Thi
was Sunday evening last. 1t wa
thought that the evidence obtained
during these River street raids woulC
be sufficient to unhitch the commits

forenoon went by and the commission
did not inform the states attorney o

league had no choice in the matter;
was compelled TO 60 ahead and han
its evidence over to the states attoI

were arrested yesterday and arraigne
in the city court, and the trial of the
cases was set for Thursday morning

Note to Powers.

The Bulgarian government, through
its foreign representatives, has ad-
dressed note to the powers declar-
ing that the Porte is sy scientifically
devastating Macedonia and massacre
ing the Christian population. Further
it says Turkey has mobili zed her
whole army, which cannot possibly
be for the sole purpose of suppressing
the revolution. The memorandum
concludes with the plain statement
that unless the powers intervene Bull
garia will be forced to take such
measures as she may deem necessary.

LETTER TO E. r. COOK,


Dear Sir: Metsrs Leachman & Edelin,,
Grafton, w Va, had been s, ling paint, which
they thought we'll of; and this had occurred.
They had sold a customer Is gallons of it to
paint his house. A few years later, they sold
the same man Devoe lead and zinc the same
number OF gallons to paint the same house.
He had gallons left.
The point of the tale is: IL gallons Devoe
paints an IS gallon house.
OF course that isn't all.
Why does IL gallons Devoe go az far as IS
gallons of other paint? Because it is all
paint. all true, no sham, and full measure.
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts longer. No,
no; you haven't got to wait ten years to find
that out. Ten thousand people know it
We've got their names. Our agents know
them; they think a heap of Devoe. There's
difficulty in showing your wnspeople
what to expect of Devoe. $40 will paint q
as house; and the paint'll last twice as long.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.,

DISTRESS AFTER EATING CURED.

DISTRESS AFTER EATING CURED.
Judge w. T. Holland of Greensburg, La. who
is we'll and favorably known, says: "Two
) ears ago suffered greatly from indigestion.
After ca ing great distress would invariably
result, lasting for q hour or so and my
nights were restless. I concluded to try
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and it cured me
entirely. Now my sleep is refreshing and

Under the operation of the new
pure food law for the protection Of
the public health, over 600 foreign
shipments of meats, wine, olive oil
and other preparations have been de-
tanned for examination. When the
law was passed it was feared that it
would be ornamental but the enforce
ment tells different story. America
has been held up before the world as
an adulterator of meats and foods,
and now the impeachment is being re-
turned with proof to the nations
which found the first arraignment.
That the only shipments to be thus
far returned were white wine con-
signments from Germany answers
most effectively Germany's embargo
on our preserved meats. The Ger
man mind is suspicious OF adulteration,
because it has been engaged in the
undetermined business so long itself.
Our consuls abroad are cooperating
with the agricultural department by
giving notice of suspected goods.
The system of food inspection is justi-
flying itself.-AdUertiser

crowd the first day. There we're
plenty of attractions and a good ex
hibit in all the different departments.
There were some notable registered
herds of cattle shown and the exhibit
in this department suggested the
good old days of fairs gone by when
seemingly every shed contained cattle.
The registered herds comprised Jer-
seys, Guernseys, Holsteins, Durhams,
Short Horns, Ayrshires, Herefords
and Red Polls. There was a good ex-
hibit of swine in White Chester, Berk-
shire and Jersey Red breeds. The
sheep pens contained some especially
fine Shropshires and herd Of Angora
goats from the Speedwell Farms at

was good exhibit of vegetables, but
the showing of fruit and butter was

cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen was
present and their drills were greatly
enjoyed by large number of specta-

 General Robert Avery of New York said that ice polluted by eighty sewers was sold for domestic purposes in New York city and was the caufsa of sick ness and frequency of typhoid epidem- les.

Residences have been torn from their foundations, and some have been caught and held by the trees. The owners and occu- pants were glad to escape with their lives. Deer, bears and other animals have been driven to high lands and are being slaughtered in large numbers.
