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 pronounced it local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in- curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires Constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

IT IS WORTH FOLLOWING
What A. ]. Smith and His Stall
wart Sons Have Done.
Father and Sons Partners in Busi-
ness Build Materially for
the Future.

A. j. Smith, pioneer citizen OF Pine
City, where he has lived for over 80 years
and carries on an extensive merchandise
ing and milling business, was at the
county seat several days last week on
business matters. Mr.. Smith holds
unique position in the community in
which he resides. Besides general
store a large -four mill is operated by
him. He has raised six stalwart sons.
five OF whom remain with him, and when
manhood was reached they have been
made partners in business, even after
marriage bringing their wives to the pa
ternal home, so that Mr.. Smith and his
sons form a combination of united in
terest that has borne remarkable results
lie and his SONS, without outside help OF
any kind, have built large stone dwell
ing, 40x40 feet in dimensions, two stories
high, and have within the last two years
built new -four mill, also entirely of
stone, quarrying the rock, laying it in
place and putting the machinery in mo-
tiOn, and with their own labor are keep
ing all the varied interests going Thus
they have prospered, are contented and
happy, as such surroundings could not
fail to bring other results. During the
panic in the nineties the Smiths wealth
cred the storm without difficulty.
Pine City is about 35 miles northwest
OF COlfax on the line OF the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road now under
construction. The -four mill is built on
Pine Creek, where a favorable site and
water for 10 months of the year make it
an ideal spot for grinding the wheat
raised in the surrounding country.

PUBLIC is DELIRIOUS.
Grover Cleveland CounseIs Moder.
alton in Regard to Railroads,

Princeton, n. j., March 24-"There is
much OF the nature of delirium," said
former President Grover Cleveland in an
interview yesterday, 'in the popular out
cry against railroad corporations. We
shall all be ashamed of it by and by.
There is much that is not only ground
less but wrong in the Offhand attack
made on the railroads by thoughtless
people. We should reflect that the rail
roads are vitally related to our pros
perity, and that to attack them need
lessly is to attack ourselves. 1t is not
this stock of soulless millionaires, but
the property of citizens, of widows and
orphans whose savings are invested in
railroads, that is being damaged We
shall recall what the railroads have been
and still are to be in the development of
our country. and this craze will pass.
Of course, there must be some form OF
governmental supervision, but it should
be planned in quiet hour, not in one of
angry passion"

TORRENS LAND TITLES
Adopted at the Last Session of
the Legislature.
Its Adoption Is Optional Gradually
New System May Replace the
Old Without Commotion.

The recent legislature passed what is
known as the TOrrens system of registra-
tion of land titles. As passed it's adop-
tion is optional with land owners. 1t
was first adopted in Illinois, ana takes
it's name from the man who first intro
duced it. A TOrrens title, once obtained.
will be perfect, as all other titles will be
wiped out, leaving nothing behind, hence
doing away with abstracting and many
other devious ways to get perfect title
to land. 1t may in time become gen
orally in use.
We are told that under the law recent
ly enacted a property owner desiring to
have the title to his land registered
brings suit, practically against the
world, to quiet title to the property.
The legal procedure is fully outlined in
the bill. If the title is vested in the
claimant by the court the absolute title
to the land is registered in the name of
the owner, and all of the history of the
title wiped out. Further abstracting of
title is rendered unnecessary.
1t is generally believed that owing to
the cost of securing Torrens title very
few people will at first take advantage
Of the law. Among the first will be town
site promoters. The advertisement of
absolute title to the original tract will
more than pay for the cost OF legal pro-
ceedings. Real estate men, plating ad-
ditions, can afford to secure registered
titles.
In time it is believed that where large
sums OF money are loaned on valuable
property money lenders will insist on
Torrens titles. Gradually, the friends
of the measure contend, the new system
will replace the old without a violent
disturbance of present titles.
