Sioux City, Jan. 29.-The loss OF slo,-
600 a year, which was formerly obtain
ed from the gamblers, and which mas
been lost to the city by reason OF the
suppression of gambling, has caused an
embarrassing condition in Sioux CITY
finances. The contingent fund out OF
which the salaries are paid, and which
is made up from police court fines, IL
censes. ETC., has been exhausted, ana
the salaries for the past two months
have been paid out of the general fund.
Two more salaries must be paid out OF
this fund, which is almost exhausted.
w. f. Wiley, chairman OF the nnanee
committee, declares the city VIII De
confronted by shortage OF S6,VoU pc
fore the close of the fiscal year. NOT
only are these funds exhausted, but the
health fund has been used to the bot
tom. The expense OF the department. IS
81. 200 a month, and there is just enough
money in the fund to pay the expenses
for the rest of the month. Where the
money is to be obtained to continue the
work of the department is a mystery.
The appropriations for sewer improve
ments have been cut down, so that, ac-
cording to estimates furnished by the
city auditor, expenses and revenues
come out about even, providing there
is no extra expense. In view of a pos
sible flood in the bottoms, which Is a
common thing in the spring, this fund
would be more than depleted. The
bridge fund is also used up. There are
outstanding bills against this fund for
almost $4,000.
The mayor has brought the situation
to the attention Of the council,
which has offered to take the RESPONSE
bility of handling the gambling situa-
ton off the mayors hands and running
the houses on fine system. Mayor
Caldwell has refused to listen to this
suggestion. insisting that to shake the
responsibility would be a violation of
his prediction pledge to suppress
gambling.
A wholesale retrenchment will be
necessary, and even then the problem
will not be solved.

THEORIES ABOUT cATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a Common
Disease.

z
Mark Twains cure for a cold in the
head was simple, but he claims very ef-
fective in his own case; his plan was TO
eat nothing whatever for twenty-four
hours or presumably until the trouble
8 had,
Altho not able to speak from personal
experience as to the effectiveness OF
this treatment, it certainly has the
merit of extreme economy, but 1t occurs
to US that the application of it to case
OF nasal catarrh might be attended
with difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, is a
chronic cold in the head and Mark
Twain's treatment, If 1t should become
fad, would make of us a nation OF
fasters: an army, emulating the en-
ample of the immortal Tanner who
achieved world wide fame by fasting
forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming ma
tional disease and there is little, doubt
but that the errors in diet, particularly
over eating is a very common cause.
Most people however are more in
terested in the cure of the trouble than
In the cause, and modern medical
science has produced more effective and
less heroic methods than Mr.. Twain's $.
Hydrastin is a new remedy, very eff
Iective in some forms Of Catarrh. Red
Gum Is another which on account of its
Antiseptic properties is very valuable,
while many severe cases of chronic
catarrh have been entirely cured by the
oanguinaria or extract of blood rooot
alone.
Within a year an enterprfsing chem
ist has combined all of these remedies,
In tablet form, paiatable and convenient
and the superiority of this tablet over
other catarrh remedies is SO apparent
that all druggists now carry them in
stock to supply the popular demand.
They are called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and it is doubtful If any medi-
cine has achieved national popularity
In so short time as this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by
thousands of travelling men because
they can be carried in the pocket and
used any time and in any quantity
being free from cocaine, opiate or any
poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat from
the disgusting secretions of catarrh.
very often in a few hours time.
For nasal catarrh they are far super
for to any wash, lotion or ointment the.
use OF which is often as inconvenient
and annoying as the disease itself.
For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh
and catarrh of stomach these tablets
give immediate relief and u permanent
cure where lotions, douches and in
halers make no impression whatever.
This preparation is boon to catarrh
sufferers and any druggist will tell you
that Stuarts Catarrh 'Tablest is rem
edy that has come to stay.
