Readers of this paper will be pleas
esd 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 directly
upon the blood and mucuous 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 do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer $loo for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list Of testimo-

sons, including several ladies gath,
cred in the parlors of the Business
Mems club Friday evening and lis
tened. to what George Irving of the
Chicago Dry Goods Reporter had to
say on the subject of town boosting.
MT. Irving who is the advance
agent OF a corps of men who make
the boosting OF towns their profess
sion, commenced his remarks With a
short plea for what he called com
minitism. In other words he ad-
vocated the merchants of any com.
munity pay more attention to re-
ciprocating in the matter Of the sup
port for eachother's business
Against his idea of a company pro-
tecting it's own interests, he portrayS
ed the dangers of Capitalization, OF
Interests as represented in the large
department and mail order houses in
the big cities.
Six o'clock closing, he declared
emphatically was another step and
an important one in the process of
town building.
MIR. Irving, in the course of his
address, mentioned some OF the
scheduled ind unscheduled assets Of
Rapid City he had noticed during
his stay in town. Among these he
placed the fine climate, Portland
cement possibilities, mining oppor-
tunities and others until he spumer-
ated over twenty. Some liabilities
had also been found he said, and
these were given too.
The town boosting idea as outlined
in MIR. Irving's plan was then dis
cussed briefly by number of per-
sons and it was decided to make an
effort to raise the five hundred dol
lars necessary to secure the servi-
ees of the boosters if possible. A
short canvass was conducted Satur-
day with partially Satisfactory e
suits and the Business Mems club
officials accordingly decided to let
the. matter rest for the present and
make an endeavor to put the finances
of the club on firmer basis in
stead
