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 incurabie.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurabie.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore re-
ouires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the on
ly constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts d.
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimon-

In regard to the changes in mining laws he said that in place of changing the mining laws as Waskey suggested he would recommend the appointment of commission to investigate the pres ent laws ana make report to the president regarding changes that are advisable.

N. E. o. P. Field Day.

It is now expected that the final meeting of the local N. F. o. P. ex- cursion committee will take place this evening after the close of A von Humboldt lodge meeting. This field day to be held at Steeplechase park August Is being the first held by the lodges of Connecticut, it is expected that many of the 12,100 members will be present. Efforts had been made to have special train, but as many are compelled to go in the morning owing to the deputies meet ing, which will be held from 10:30 to 12:30, it was deemed advisable to have all avail themselves of the prop osition to pay full fare going and half fare returning. Certificates en- titling all members friends to this privilege can be. obtained at the island, good for three days. In order to have all have days pleasure at the shore many of the lodges in the jurisdiction have voted to pay part of the railroad fare. A baseball team from Waterbury has been selected and they will endeavor to defeat one from New Haven. As many are ex- pected from the other New England states there is to be no postponement on account of rain.
