There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

BAILEY is REFLECTED.
Investigating Committee to Continue
Its Work-Dramatio Scene.

z Austin, Texas.-J. w. Bailey was
reelected to the United States SEN
ate. One hundred and forty-seven
votes were cast in the two branches
of the Legislature. OF this number
he received 107. The remaining
forty votes were scattered among
nearly that number of men.
The scene attending the placing in
nomination of Mr.. Bailey was dra-
matte. The galleries were crowded
with visitors, many of them from
other parts of the State.
The promise of Mr.. Bailey authori-
tatively announced on the floor that
he would resign from the Senate if
the charges filed against him are sus-
tanned, caused many members who
had heretofore opposed his election
to vote for him.
1t is stated that the election of
Mr.. Bailey will not prevent thor
ough investigation.

PACIFIC TIDAL WAVE HORROR.
1900 Persons Killed in Islands Near
Sumatra After Earthquakes.

The Hague.-On January II tel
egram was received from the Dutch
East Indies that tidal wave had de-
vastated the island of Tana, with the
loss of 800 lives, and that forty had
been killed on the island of Simalu,
both off the west coast of the island
OF Sumatra. A late telegram says
that the disaster was much more Sc
rious.
The tidal wave destroyed the south
ern coast OF the island of Simalu,
which has nearly disappeared The
loss of life probably amounts to
1900. There have been daily earth

has gone to the scene of the disaster

THE CROPS IN ALBERTA.

Advices from one who is in close
touch with the crop and commercial
conditions in Alberta, Western Can

from 80 to 60 bushels per acre and
grading Nos. / and northern. The
price realized is Is to So cents per
bushel. The balance of Alberta north
to Edmonton and east to Lloydmins-
ter has mostly spring crop. 1t is large
Iy a dairying, beef and pork raising
country. The excessive rains in late
August and early September delayed
ripening of the crop on the heaviest
soil, and consequently was consider
ably damaged on the arrival of fall
frosts. On lighter soil the crop was
fair to good. On the soil between
Calgary and Edmonton spring wheat
was seriously damaged, but will pro-
duce a large quantity of low-grade
milling and feed; early-sown oats are
excellent feed quality, but late-sown
are seriously damaged and small
proportion will be fed In the straw.

On the Canadian Northern, from a
point 40 miles east of Edmonton to
Lloydminster, oats and barley are gen.
orally excellent; wheat is somewhat
damaged and there is some loss of
late-sown oats and barley. South of
High river there is an enormous crop.
From High river to Edmonton and
from Edmonton to Lloydminster there
is an average crop of over so per cent.
of last year and the price is from so
to 100 per cent. higher than last year.
The root crop is excellent and the live
stock is in splendid condition.
At the time of writing it is difficult
to determine even approximately the
quantity of wheat that Central Canada
will market this year. The threshers'
returns will tell the story Opinions
of experts may well be taken in the
