There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10

THE SEWER SITUATION

The present situation relative to the installa- tion of a sewer system in Globe places the city aldermen in position that should be made clear to everyone to avoid the growth of any mis- understanding on the subject.
 The Silver Belt after making canvass of the council members with view to ascertaining the sentiment prevailing on the question of sewer age facilities, has learned that the finances of the city at present are in such condition that the council does not feel justified in making an appropriation a once to cover the costs of a special election. Consequently, the date for such an election will probably be determined by the council early in November at which time the fix ing of date for public vote on the awarding of trolley franchise will also be attended to-. According to this arrangement, the election for deciding these important matters will probably be set for some time in December
 The arrangement which the council has thus made is altogether creditable to their judgment and motives. And with plan of action definite ly decided upon, the people of Globe have every reason to rejoice that the sewer system, which has been so sorely needed in the ely for long time past is now about to become reality For, if left to the judgment of the voters of Globe, there can be no doubt of the outcome All of us are possessed of worthy desire to protect our families from the epidemics and other evils

holes in number of soft sandstones

sense, perhaps, when it was announced
at any rate, the adulatory attorney
appeared to think it was-but now it
is about to become literally true, so
far as Mr.. Harriman's home in the
country is concerned.

Hartman in his wanderings over con-
tinental Europe this summer will see
any castle that can equal his in it's
majesty of view and aloofness from
yet geographical nearness to-a vast
center of population.
The Hartman home at Arden has
been building for nearly three years,
and when he went abroad a few days
ago he left orders that it must be
ready for his occupancy when he re-
turns in the early autumn-that no
expense was to be spared; that the
work must be pushed forward night
and day, if necessary, but that it must
be finished.
