There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure Send for circu-
lars and testimonials.

The History of
the Portrait

Beginning away back in the
early days Of Egyptian Sculp-
ture, the history of Art is a
most interesting one.
The discovery of the photo
graph principle marked an
epoch Of progress in this direc-
ton.
But the photograph is not
permanent, for sooner or later
it will fade and the delicate
lines in the face you so ad-
nlired will become dim and OBJ
scure.
So the idea Of producing a
positively permanent portrait
-one that will depict in life
like distinctness the original
has developed into

v
tribute to General Bakers career
by saying: General Bakers life in
Minnesota was contemporaneous
with the history of the state.
Judge Lorin Cray, who knew the
general during the Civil war, said
of him: 81 first met General Baker
at st. Louis in 1868, when he was
lieutenant colonel of the Seventh
Minnesota regiment and ! have
known him quite well ever
since He was man of education
and refinement, most congenial
companion. He will be very greatly
missed by large circle of friends
and acquaintances."
81 have known General Baker for
many years intimately said Attor-
ney Thomas Hughes, "and esteem
him most highly In fact the bet
ter one knew the general the more
he would appreciate him, not only
for his many brilliant talents but
for his character He was truly one
of the great men of our state and
nation and his greatness had many
sides to it. AS an orator. political
and social leader warrior. states
man and writer he stood in the front
rank. our commonwealth has pro-
duced none greater than he along
any of these lines of public activity,
His leadership was felt in other pub
lie circles such as the Loyal Legion,
State Historical society, farmer and
old settlers associations, the Off
ciaI board of his church and many
other social and civic bodies. In adj
dition to all this the general was
of a social and lovable disposition
His genial and courtly manner his
wide knowledge of men and affairs
and his splendid conversational
powers won him a host of friends
who were always glad of his com
pany and his loss will be keenly
! felt both in his home town and
throughout the state. His life has
been woven into the history of our

city, county and commonwealth and
they are his monument"
Charles A. Chapman, who has
known General Baker for many years
and has worked with him in the Man
kato Cemetery association and in the
Territoial Historical society, express
ed himself thus concerning Mr..
Baker: General Baker has been
for several years trustee of the
Mankato Cemetery association and
has been very valuable member of
the Territorial Historical association.
He has often delivered the eulogy
on the deceased members of the as
ISOLATION at the annual meetings"
Mayer A. G. Meyer: 81 think that
General Baker was one of the best
men in the county. and one of the
most public spirited men we have
ever had. He, was worth a great
deal to this community. and his loss
will be nightly felt"
DR.. ]. w. Andrews: Truly a great
man passed from time into eternity
when yesterday about 3:15 p. m.
General James II. Baker breathed
the final and last breath that sus-
tanned mortal life. No other man in
Mankato was so widely and favor
ably known as was General Baker
As platform orator be had but
few equals, as writer but few su
, periors. His history Of the COVER
nors of Minnesota is masterpiece
The diction, the rhetoric and the
beauty of style OF this great work
are beyond criticism. His eulogy
on the life OF the late Governor Ram
sey will go down in the annals o.
the history of this state as one o
the ablest addresses ever delivered
in the capital city. This eulogiun
would do credit to a Watterson Of
an Ingersol. AS a citizen and neigh
Dor General Baker was without spo
or blemish. The state of Minnesot;
as well as the city of Mankato has
lost a good man"
