There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro.
nounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitution al disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by +. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo,

Estimates the Cost at From $200,000,-
600 to $500, 0,OCo, 900.

Washington. Dec. 20.-John +, Wal
lace, chief engineer OF the isthmian
canal commission, has given to the
house committee on interstate aud for
eign commerce the benefit of his in
vestigations SO far as made regarding
the engineering tasks to be performed
in the construction of the Panama
canal
Asked by members of the commits
sion for an estimate of the cost of the
various plans Mr. Wallace said the
best estimate that could be made at
present would be based on the esti-
mate of the former commission OF
5000, 100000 for 90-foot level canal.
Figuring with this as a basis the 90
foot level canal would cost $225,000,-
600, could be open for traffic in ten
years and fully completed in twelve
years; the 30-foot level would cost
$250.000, 900, open for traffic in twelve
years and fully completed in fifteen
years; the sea level canal would cost
$500, 100000. could be open for traffic
in fifteen years and completed in

DENIED BY APOSTLE SMITH.
Mormon Church Does Not Control
Idaho Sugar Factories.

Washington, Dee. 20.-Apostle john
Henry Smith of the MoI mon church
was recalled as the first witness OF
the day in the Senator Smoot inyestl-
CATION and was cross-eXamined by A.
Ii. Worthington, counsel for Smoot.
Denial was made by the witness
that the Mormon church owned ma
jority Of stock in the sugar mannlac-
tories of Idaho. He was examined
concerning his participation in poll
tics in Idaho and his testimony chiefly
was in contradiction of the testimony
given by Charles N. Jackson, chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee, who testified Saturday He en-
phatically denied that he had said
there had been revelations that a GER
tain political ticket should be sup
ported. Apostle Smith, however, ad-
mitted taking an active part in bring
ing about the repeal of the territorial
test oaths, which practically excluded
Idaho Mormons from voting. He said
he had made political speeches in
Idaho in 1902, but appealed 10 the
voter as citizen and not as member
of the Mormon church.

REDUCE AND REFORM
THE BRITISH ARMY
War Secretary Proposes the Looping
Off of Fourteen Battalions

LONDON, July 14.-War Secretary
Arnold-Forster made his long prom
ised statement as to his proposed re-
form of the army when the house of
commons went into committee this
afternoon on the vote for the war office
The secretary said he proposed to re-
duce the regular infantry forces by
fourteen battalions, leaving forty or
fifty battalions for home service after
providing for India and the colonies.
The army would be diveded into two
parts. A certain number Of battalions
would be kept at home. These would
be reduced to 500 men. 400 of whom
would be enlisted for two years serv-
ice and would afterwards enter the
reserve for six years. These would be
in reality territorial battalions, and
the object of the short service system
would be to build up the reserve.
The volunteer establishment would
be reduced to 10000 men and much
larger grants would be made so as to
make the volunteers an effective force
From $4,000 to 5000 regular troops
would be kept at Aldershot, ready to
take the field as fighting force. Pro-
visions would be made for q perfi1a-
hent garrison Of 1880 men in South
Africa. The proposal would result in
decrease of S.761 men, leaving a total
force of 227,000, and a decrease in ex-
penditure of $2,450, 600.
