SlOO Reward. 500.

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. 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 directly
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 it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.

Practical Politics.

A political office in a small town in
Iowa was vacant. The office paid
$3.50 a year, and there was keen COM
petition for it. The Democratic can
didate, Ezekiel Hicks, was a shrewd
old fellow, and neat campaign fund
was turned over to him. To the as
tonishment of all, however, he was
defeated

WELL said Ezekiel, slowly pulling
his whiskers, yer see that office only
pays $3.50 year salary, an | didn't
see no sense in payin' $500 out to get
the office, so ! bought me a little
truck farm instead. ad."-Lippincotts.

THE NATIONAL STOCK SHOW.
Prospects for the Greatest Show Ever
Held in the West.

Entries for the National Stock
Show at Denver close this week on
everything but carloads and entries
already indicate the greatest show
ever held in the West. There will he
horses from Canada. from Ohio, from
Illinois, Missouri. Iowa, Kansas and
most of the western states. Among
the prominent herds of cattle coming
are the Shorthorn herds of Carpen-
ter & Ross Of Mansfield. Ohio;
Thomas johnson & Son of Columbus,
Ohio; C. r. Clark of Minnesota;
Frank Harding OF Wisconsin, The
Elmendorf Farm of Kentucky; w. J.
Miller of Iowa; A. C. Binnie of Iowa;
]. E. Bales & Son of Iowa, and many
others, all the beef breeds being rep
resented by the best in the country.
There will be sheep from all over the
United States and Canada, all of the
breeds being represented
1t is expected that the car load ex-
hibit of feeder cattle will be the great
est ever held and big feeder buyers
are coming from all parts of the coun-
try to purchase the prize winners.
The business end of the Denver
show always attracts considerable at
tention The stockmen from the
west bring their choice cattle and

fancy prices and the big breeders OF
the east bring their cattle, sheep and
horses here and sell the best of them
to the western men, This is where
the show is doing a great work. 1t
is placing within the reach Of the
western breeders the best the country
has in live stock and within very
few years the western men will be
winning the premiums and the east
ern man will be pretty well out OF 1t.
The railroads are making very rea-
sonable rates through the West for
the week of the show. In Colorado
half rate will prevail while in New
Mexico, Utah, Idaho. Nevada, Wyom-
ing and Montana. the rate will be
fare plus 81 for the round trip. This
will bring in great number OF stock
men and with the stock show and con-
ventions, Denver will be busy place
during the week of January S-15. With
the new buildings being erected and
the magnificent big pavilion oom-
pleted last year. the show will be in
shape to take care of the crowds COM
fortably NO matter what the weather
may be, but there is usually good

German hotel keeper who had the ser.

form. To maintain good help in all
the departments of the hostelry seem
ed impossible. Then he dreamed what
a sweet place the earth would be If
there were no servants-or rather if
there were servants who would stay
on the job
In his dreaming the scheme came
to drill girls into every sort of work
about the hotel and change their oc-
equations before they had time to grow
tired Thus the cook of one week
might be the floor maid of the next
and SO on. The scheme went great.
So much that his totel gained fame
as "the hotel of the happy family"
He became the envy of the less for
tunate men who began drawing away
his help by offering increased wages,
This put the innkeeper to thinking
again. The result was the regularly

morning in an automobile which he
has constructed at home. Burdette
Bassett OF New Britain has aided Shell

were smile of satisfaction as they
came ciragGing up the road.
The auto has been made from an
ordinary four wheeled buggy with iron
tires. A small gasoline engine is belt
ed on TO one of the hind wheels, thus
furnishing the power The auto is
eQuipped with a steering wheel and q
small electric horn. In order to start
the machine the boys jack up the
wheel which is connected with the
power and get this wheel revolving
rapidly before they let it down on to
the ground. When it is once started
the MACHINE will travel along at a
good rate of speed.
Many OF the townspeople were in
speeding the auto this morning ana all
agreed that II reflected much credit
