INCREASED REVENUE
FROM LAND OFFICE

Land Commissioner Pratt is just COM
plotting his report for the year, for
transmission to Governor Carter. 1t
will include comparative showing of
the work done during the past three
years and a half, and during the pre-
vious three years and half. Among
other comparative statements will be
one showing that the revenue to the
Territory through the land office IN
the past three years and half has ex-
eeeded that of the previous three years
and half by about $4,000, while the
expenses have been about $4,000 less.
4 complete showing of the rent rolls
from public land in the Territory is
made. This. shows that the annual
rentals now are but about $4,000 less
than they were seven years ago not
withstanding the fact that large areas
of the public land formerly under lease
has since been disposed of through set
Element associations, right of purchase
leases aud otherwise.

Oyster and Ice Cream Supper.

Through the COURTESY of Mr.. R. J.
Madry the Methodists were given
the use of one of his new stores, in
which they served oysters, cream etc.
the results being about S21 to be used
in furnishing the parsonage. Mr..
Madry, by furnishing house room for
bazaars and suppers, has helped to
raise more money for the repair of
churches in this place than any other
man here. The Methodist church
feels itself under lasting obligations
to him and to the public who have SO
literally patronized us in the past.
We have been enabled to move the old
debt, and what we raise now is for
repairs, and before long we promise
to have everything that is Methodist
in this town, except our members,
looking as clean as new hat.

Sl0O Reward, $lD0.

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 constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutiOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
Iy 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
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors have
50 much faith in its curative power that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
ease that it fails to cure. Send for list
