500 REWARD 500.

The readers OF this paper VIII 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 con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly 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 its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that 1t fails to cure. Send

News has been received at the State
Department of the breaking off of dip
lomatic relations between Mexico and
Guatemala with mingled emotions.
OF course a war anywhere is officially
regretted, and especially in the case
of war on this continent, the govern
ment stands ready to offer good offices
and any other sort of first aid to the
injured that is available. But in the
trouble between Mexico and Gaute-
mala, Mexico seems to have all the
best of the argument in point of
equity and she is coming to the front
as a power in the affairs of the west
ern hemisphere, so that it is possible
this government will watch her dis
ciplining her small southern neighbor
with more or less satisfaction. Mexico
has developed rapidly and we'll in the
last decade. There is an immense
amount of American capital invested
in the country and she has very
largely lived down her former reputa-
tion for political brain-storms. Her
development can be watched by this
country with satisfaction and without
envy, and if she proves her ability
and willingness to spank some of the
turbulent little republics near her
when they need it, there will be a
large part of the White Mans Bur-
den lifted off the shoulders of this
government.

The government is looking for from
800 to 1000 hardy, industrious
farmers to accept farms on a rather
novel plan for little or nothing.
There are strong efforts being made
by the government now to settle up
the irrigable west. The call for vol
unteer farmers is part OF this campaign
There is about $4,000 acres of land,
good farming land, much of it already
under ditch and more being put there
on the Uintah Indian Reservation.
This is the reservation from which
war party of Utes recently broke
away and went on spree through
Wyoming and South Dakota. The
Indians do not want the land and
will not farm it, so the government is
willing to rent 1t out to American
farmers at % cents per acre per year
with the privilege of buying it in fee
simple when the Indians to whom it
has been allotted die Off. The land is
at fine altitude, 5000 feet with a
fertile soil and even climate. All
temperate zone crops do we'll there
and there is an excellent market for
everything that can be raised at good
prices. 1t offers a rather exceptional
opportunity for farmers who want to
start their boys off in fine locality
at little expense. Details of the plans
for apportioning the farms can be had
on application from the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs at Washington.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Some Facts Concerning Govern
ment Ownership Of Railways.

Washington, May 1.-THE United
States Department of Commerce and
Labor has just made public a report
of Consul General r. II. Mason on the
railways of France. The report is
especially important in view of the
efforts Of leading Democratic polite
ians to force the issue of government
ownership of railroads to the front in
the Presidential campaign next year.
The report points out that North
ern, Eastern, Western, Orleans, Midi,
and the Paris-Lyon and Mediterrane-
an comprising with their various
branches 25,013 miles of quadruple,
double and single track lines, are all
owned and managed, under certain
governmental restrictions, by corpor-
ations or stock companies under char
ters from the state, which reserves
the option to buy and take over the
lines of either company at the eXpi-
ration of its concession. The Oldest
of these systems, the Western, was
consolidated in 1856, and as its con-
cession now expires the question is
under discussion whether it shall be
renewed or it's property purchased
and taken over by the government.
The state railway lines in France
form a comparatively insignificant
part of the whole system, but in view
OF the interest which attaches to gov
ernmental ownership and manage
ment of public utilities, a brief ac-
count of the French state railways is
OF great value. They are limited to a
main line from the Mont Parnassee
Station in Paris, over the tracks of
the Western Railway company, and
southwestward to Bordeaux, with a
network of branches extending to
Anglers, Nantes, Poiters, La Rochelle,
Angeuline, and other points, a total
length of 1871 miles, of which S4.5
miles are tracks used lin common
with trains of the Orleans Railway
company.
The rates for passenger travel on
the state railway are shown in the fol-
lowing example: Distance from Par
Is to Bordeaux, $50 miles, first-class
fare, S.41 cents per mile; second
class fare, 2.S2 cents; and third-class
fare, 1.52 cents.
Especially interesting as a basis of
comparison with American railroad
management is the personnel or num-
Der of officials and employees of all
classes required to administer and
operate the state railway system in
France. There is a grand total for
administrative and operating force OF
5,l19 men to work 1872 miles of rail,
way. In the general character of
service on the state railway system
there is no superiority whatever in
speed and regularity of trains, clean
liness and comfort of cars, prompt
ness and cheapness of freight service,
and economy of management, over
conditions which exist and the results
which are attained by corporate man.

way systems of the French Republic.
