What viii Cure
A Bad catarrh
A Noted D0ctor-PreaciHer OF Atlanta
Seems Able 20 Permanently Cure
This Disease by an Entirely
New Home Method That
Is Attracting At
tentiOn.
SENDS 1T FREE TO ANYONE
WITHOUT EXPECTING PAYMENT

Those who have all along doubted
whether there really was q permanent
cure for catarrh will be glad 70 learn
that an eminent Southern DOCTOR
divine, ]. w. Blosser by name, has
discovered a home method whereby
catarrh can be cured to the very last
spec without regard to climate or con-
ditions. and SO that there shall be no
misgiving about 1t he will send II free
to any man or woman without expect
ing payment, for while others are
spending fortunes in advertising DIR.
discovery. and therefore he can afford
to send a trial package free and let
the results speak for themself.
The doctors discovery is radically
different from the schemes that the
country has recently been flooded with.
and the results he has achieved seem
to mark new era In the scientific cure
of chronic catarrh, foul breath, hawk
ing and splitting. stopped-up feeling I'm
the nose and throat, coughing spells,
difficulty of breathing. catarrhal deaf
ness. scratching I'm the throat. asthma,
bronchitis and the many other symp-
toms of a bad case OF catarrh. The
first days use will clear the nasal pas
sages and the lungs, and then the ca
tarrh germs are dispelled and you are
forever freed from this annoying dis
ease.
The doctor is willing to rest his case
on the free package he sends you, and
the fact that his company now occu-
pies four large floors would seem to
prove that his discovery Is genuine:
50 send your name and address with
out. delay to the DR.. Blosser CO., $50
Walton ST.. Atlanta, Ca, and you will
receive the free package, illustrated
book, etc. The least you can do Is to
find out what the doctor has got. as
you can't be anything out, one way or
another. and you surely should be
cured.

Il would be impossible In the limits of
this article to enumerate the things
that women may do to-day unmolested
by public opinion, unframed by the
tongue OF scandal. And back to Susan
B. Anthony all this freedom may be
traced.
One day when she was sweet Is. or
maybe little older, she had the temer-
ity, she and two or three other teach
erS, to attend a teachers conference.
Hitherto only male teachers had at
tended conferences. Miss Anthony and
her friends created the utmost surprise
when they walked meekly in and quiet
ly sat down in the back part of the
hall. Soon Miss Anthony asked a ques-
ton. or maybe it was to show some
male" that he had given utterance to
fallacy that she spoke. Anyhow. she
spoke. and that was an unheard of au-
dacity-for q woman. The Chairman
so informed her. She declared that she

would speak when 1t SO pleased her and
she had something to say. or words to

meeting. The males present openly

Death Rate OF Old Soldiers.

Editor National Tribune: Will you
kindly state in your next issue the death
rate of the old soldiers at the present
time. and greatly obiige a faithful read
er Of The National Tribune?-W B.
Swain, Portland, Ind.
1t Is impossible to give exactly the
figures which our comrade desires. We
can only make approximations. The re-
port OF the Adjutant-General Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic at the
Denver Encampment gave the member
ship Of the Order at 232,455, with
deaths during the year s.152. or 81 per
cent. II we aFSume that one-third OF
the veterans arg in the Grand Army
this makes the total number Of deaths
during the year easily calculated. The
Commissioner OF Pensions reported that
during the year ended June 80, 1905.
30,324 veterans OF the war had been
dropped from the rolls by death. The
difficulty about telling how many vet
Grams died is the uncertainty as to how
many still remain unpensioned. A great
number of those whom the Adjutant-
General of the Grand Army reported as
dead were not on the pension roll. but
just how many no one can more than
guess.-Editor National Tribune.

Miss Susan B. Anthony is dead.
After q short, sharp and unequal
struggle with death, the grim monster
claimed his prey and there passed from
earth one of the greatest women who
ever lived. She was the Abraham Lin

what greater praise can be spoken of
her? Hers was not a martial spirit;
she hated war; the shams Of society
scarified her soul; she despised the rum
power; she loathed the institution OF
human slavery; she scorned the mar

HEAD FELL FIVE FLOORS.
Workman Decapitated by Elevator
Weight in Philadelphia

Philadelphia. July 25.-Involuntarily
performing the functions of the guillo-
tine. the car weights of the elevators
in the Odd Fellows Temple. at Broad
and Cherry streets, decapitated a hap
less workman, Arthur Laughran. Of
Twenty-second and Hamilton streets,
with all the cruel dispatch of the in
strument of execution of the French
Revolution. The tumbril into which the
head fell was the pit Of the shaft the
distance, from the fifth floor.
The victim of the grewsome tragedy
had been warned by his fellow work
man, William Schwartz, a Swede, of Nc.
424 Federal street, against peerlng over
the top of the elevator, where they were
doing slight repair work Laughran
holding the light for Schwartz But
wishing to. speak to Michael Mercy
nolds, operator of the next door ele-
vator. which was ascending and des-
oending, Laughran forgot the danger,
and persisted.
Schwartz did not know what had oc-
Cured. so swiftly had death done its
work, and asked his companion to hold
the light in a better position. Getting
no answer he turned and saw the man,
as he thought, probably overcome with
vertigo, as he leaned perilously over the
edge. Pulling his body back, he was
Mortified to find it headless, and the
blood pumping out from the severed
arteries. In his awe Schwartz let the
trunk slip from his numb and nerveless
hands, and it fell some distance down
the shaft, lodging on a small shelf.
There are only two elevators which
are parallel with Broad street. The de-
ceased was leaning over the edge of the
top of the north lift, and as it went up
the sharp, heavy weights shot down
upon the back of the neck of the vic
tim.
The accident. ungeared the machinery

man went ricocheting from point to
point in the shafting till it finally fell
on it's face in the pit, the up-conling

NO TERRORS FOR US.
British BattIeshlp Dreadnaught No
Better Than Our Michigan.


Washington.s duly 25.-The publica-
ton of the white book" in London
giving some Information concerning
the main features of the large English
battleship Dreadnaught has caused
some discussion among naval officers,
but the facts made public were already
known by the officers of the navy who
are interested in naval architecture.
There is no great enthusiasm among
many of the naval officers in regard to
the construction. of a ship which Will
equal the Dreadnaught as a sea fight
ing machine It is pointed out that
the United States has now under con
struction two ships the Michigan and
South Carolina. which are equal to the
Dreadnaught in broadside battery.
These two ships can fire eight 10 inch
guns on either side and that is all that
can be done by the DreadnauKht. The
latter. however, could fire six 2 inch
guns dead ahead, whereas the Michf-
gan and South Carolina could fire but
four. It Is pointed out however that
very little fighting is done head on
and that the effective f1ghting of a bat
tleship is her broadside.
Another difference between the
latest type of the American and Eng
lish battleships is that in broadside &C
ton all of the II inch guns of the
American ships can be utilized while
two of the II inch guns of the English
ship must be inactive. The advantages
Of the English ship is in greater speed.
but she has a disadvantage in a larger
target surface. Naval officers generally
seem to think that there is very little
difference in the effectiveness of the
Dreadnaught and the Michigan and
South Carolina
