If cough once gets into your system
1t acts on every muscle and fibre of the
body and makes you ache all over. 1t
especially affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, so in order to get rid of
"a cold thoroughly and without delay you
should not take anything that will tend
to constipate. Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup acts upon the bowels and
thereby drives the cold out of the system.
1t contains no opiates-it is plea 9 Mt to
take and is highly recommended for child
ren. Sold by r. G. Dodson.

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. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
Il constitutional disease, requires con
stitutional treatment. Hall's 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 pow
ers that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

SIBERIA's MANY LARGE CITIES.
They Are Surprise to the American
Visitor.

One is continually surprised at
finding such large, prosperous cities in
Siberia, writes Prof G. E. Blakeslee
in the Boston Transcript. Omsk has
some $4,000 inhabitants, OBJ $4,000,
Tomsk $4,000, Krasniarsk $4,000 and
rkutsk $4,000. In many ways, how
ever, they still show the crudeness of
frontier life. In Oh hardly house
is over one story high, and the dust in
the unpaVed streets lies some inches
thick. On the other hand, there is
large number of schools in the coun-
try. Tomsk is the educational CEN
ter, besides being the largest city. 1t
has an institute Of technology and
university of some reputation, which
is attended by several hundred stu
dents.
After travelling for days over the
level, monotonous plains of the west,
1t is pleasure to reach the borders
OF the hill country, which stretches
from krasniarsk some hundred miles
on to Lake Balkal. In ones first en-
thusiasm one is tempted to eXclaim
that Krasniarsk is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world 1t GER
tainly is charmingly located, remind
ing one of many a town on the Rhine.
1t is built in the valley where the
katscha flows into the great Yenisel
mountains on every side, and the
high banks of the river above and be-
low. Seen from a distance, with its
many church domes glistening be-
tween the hills, it makes the most de-
lghtful picture Of all Siberia.
A further ride of day and half
through this hill country, much of
which is heavily wooded with a thick
growth of pine, brings one to Irkutsk,
which after Tomsk, is the largest city
in Siberia. 1t is in many ways a very
attractive place. Its main streets are
paved and it is lighted by electricity;
it has three daily papers, large thea
ter, handsome art museum, a tech
meal school, theological seminary,
26 churches and one of the most i'm
posing cathedrals in the whole en-
pire. There are two or three factories
in the city, one of which is porcelain
establishment, which turns out most
excellent work. In strolling through
the business streets one is surprised
at the great variety of goods displayed
in the stores, especially at the real ele-
gance of the silver and jewelry assert
ments. There are many American
wares to be seen-kodakS, sewing ma,
chimes, typeWriterS gramODhOneS
reapers, tools from Massachusetts,,
canned fruit from California, canned
oysters from Maryland In some of the
show windows were pyramids of
boxes of an American food product,
each with a Russian label and repre-
sentation of the American and the
Russian flags.
Irkutsk is over $500 miles from
Moscow, a distance greater than that
which separates San Francisco from
New York, yet it is only two-thirds of
the way to Vladivostok.

BloodIess "Warfare."

English travellers on the frontier be-
tween China and Burma recently
found the various villages at war with
one another. One traveller, George
Forrest, writes: 1.-THE men of jill
were at war with their neighbors, and.
indeed, we watched the progress of
the fight during our tiffin. The cause
was the theft of some maize, and a
whole army corps, consisting of so
warriors, had been modified. These
fellows, with their grotesque orna-
ments OF silver, deer horns. pebbles
and cowries, their blackened faces,
their flowing hempen robes, their
war bows five feet long, their war
swords five feet long, and their broad
oxhide shields five feet high, moved
in line beyond their village. The
enemy occupied position higher up
on the hill and a fierce bombardment
of opprobrious epithets was main
tanned, but neither side got further
than swearing and stringing bows un-
til the time arrived for the afternoon
meal, when the combatants dispersed
to their respective homes"
