SINKS INTO THE EARTH.
One Hundred Acres Of Land Sinks
With a Great Roar.

Boise, Idaho, March 13.-With a
roar that could be heard for miles
100 acres of pasture land on the
ranches of Richard Steen and Captain
Lewis. three miles from the mouth
of the Grande Ronde river, sank 15O
feet below its former level Friday
night
Ranchmen for miles around were
awakened and set out to find the
cause and found a hole a mile long
anr varying in width from few yards
up to 500 feet. All day the ground
continued to sink slowly as If n sub
terranean cavern were swallowing the
grass covered acres There was no
live stock on the tract at the time.
There was no loss of life.
1t is the theory among residents OF
that section that there Is an immense
underground cave and that the un-
usual amount of moisture for the last
season is responsible for the disturb
ance. The country in that section Is
of peculiar geographical formation.
Great beds of lime have been discov
cred in the vicinity.

HOMEMADE cATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and
Try 1t Anyway.

ANY one can mix right at home the
best remedy of it's kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol-
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of it's promptness in driving
from the blood and system every YES
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup SarSa-
parilla. Shake we'll and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture. which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist of national reputation.

DREADED TO EAT.

How many persons dread to eat their

Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time

But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food

AS a Settler in Canada He Has Done

Canada naturally has strong English
sentiments, but the actual leaders In

typical English remittance man" who
lived on money from home and sub
sisted chiefly on whisky. He was
cumberer of the earth and spelled no
progress whatever.
Then came the English colonlstS
from the cities, poor folk for the most
part and eager to better themselves;
willing to work, but in fitness genera
tons behind the men who fought their
course across the continent by way or
the Appalachians and the Missouri and
the Rockies. Later there arrived num-
bers of the agricultural classes of Eng
land peaceable, Woodworking and fru-
gal, admirable settlers, albeit some
what ignorant of the conditions OF lie
in a new country.
All these are welcomed in Canada,
but, although the English immigration

nations combined, it does not equal
the American immigration alone IN

OBJECT TO TOBACCO RULE.
GAINESVILLE Dealers Want Government
to Change Regulation.

10 CndnSS nC9Ntatio''
Under a recent ruling Of the commits
sioner of internal revenue demands
are made on all tobacco warehouse
men which are considered by James
Vile dealers to be unjust and IN many
instances impossible. The regulation,
which was to go in force the first OF
the present year, was so strongly oD-
iected to that it is now pending inves-
tigation. IF the department finds the
contentious of the dealers 1ustlhaDle
the ruling may be withdrawn or modl-
fed. The GAINESVILLE dealers have COM
municated with both Senators Spoon
er and La Toilette and answers have
been made. Spooner says the regula-
ton was made deliberately and hlnts
that any objections will be received
bv deaf ears. La Toilette says he Will
take the matter up as best he can. The
old revenue regulation demanded that
each dealer keep a record OF all tobac-
co received and sold, giving the names
of the persons it was secured from
and the names of the purchasers The
record was kept in pounds and cases.
No matter how many warehouses a
dealer owned the record was kept at
the main office The new regulation
demands that a separate record be
kept at every warehouse.
