one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a. constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucuous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
troying the foundation of the disease
and giving the patient strength to
build up the constitution and assist

was rapidly spreading. At first the
worthy magistrate did not know what

made 1t was discovered that by his

were warned formally to cease manipu-

Finally President Roosevelt issued
orders to District Attorney Sol Bethea,
now Judge Bethea, to proceed against
the beef trust in the usual manner.
The first act Of the district attorney
was to call the secret service agents

REsIpENCE OF J.OGpEN ARMOUR

United States marshals served sub
poenas on clerks and managers in the
employ of the packing companies to
appear before the federal grand jury in
Chicago. More than 800 witnesses in
all were su -lmoned.
The day on which these subpoenas
We're served was one Of the most ex-
citing in the history of the packing
business. at first there was an active
scurrying to get under cover, but when
it was seen that attempts to evade serv-
ice were vain the packers veered about
and protested a great willingness to
help the government in every way pos
sible. They insisted that they had
obeyed the injunction to the letter and
that If any slip had been made it was
the fault of employees who had dis
obeyed orders. In spite of this APP
parent eagerness to further the in
vestigation the prosecutors did not fol
a moment relax their vigilance, and
subsequent events proved that they
were wise. When the witnesses began
to assemble it was discovered by the
government secret agents that they
were being subjected to the powerful
of the enemy. Before
the investigation had been under way |
a week the jury was compelled to in
dict an agent of the packers who had
to influence witness.
Nothing that the now thoroughly
aroused packers could do was sufficient
to stave off the indictments. They fell

NAUTICAL TERMS.
Origin of some of the Expressions
That Smell of the Sca.

Origin of Some of the Expressions
That Smell of the Sea.
The word admiral comes from
"emir ell bagh,' which Is Arabic for
lord of the sea.
Captain comes straight from the
Latin "caput,' head; but innate" Is
almost Identical with the Icelandic
matt" which means companion or
equal.
Cockswain was originally the man
who pulled the after oar of the cap
tain's boat, then known US cock boat"
Cock boat" is a corruption Of the
word "coracle," and, as most people
know, the coracle Is small round boat
used for fishing on some of the Welsh
rivers, such as the Xye and Usk. So
cockswain comes to us from the Welsh.
Commodore" is simply the Italian
"commandatore," or commander, and
naval cadet" was originally the
French "capdet," which, going step
further back has the same origin as
the word captain. The reason of this
apparent anomaly is that originally ma
Wi CuuSNS were SOOASSk coAS VI uOOAS
families who served as privates pre-
vious to obtaining their commissions.
There never was such person as
"Davy Jones'" though we frequently
hear of his locker. One ought to talk
of duffy Jonahs'' locker. Duffy" is
