decision was reached on an appeal from
the superior court decision in Bridge

refused to shave Foulkner, his defense
being that his shop was not a place of

upheld the contention.

500 Reward 500,

The readers Of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.

The National CapitaI.

1t Is claimed that Washington is the
cleanest city in the United States. If
they were SO disposed the ladies might
wear their best afternoon gowns on the
street without having them soled The
general cleanliness of Washington is
due to the noticeable absence of fac
tories with their soft coal smoke and
the asphalt streets are kept SO clean
that there is little dust or dirt in the
air. An almost forgotten fact is that
Washington was first called Rome. and
a creek which flowed through the site
of the city was spoken of as the Tiber.
