There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

MILLIONS AT STAKE
IN MAIL LITIGATION

Washington, April 10.-On the out
come of arguments begun Friday be-
fore the supreme court depends
whether the United States govern
ment must pay approximately $685.
100000 to railroads in additional pay
for carrying the mails since 1907.
Over eight hundred railroads are in
terested in pending claims.
Under a statute passed in 1873
compensation for carrying the mails
is based on the weight carried, as
certained quadriennially by actual
weighing for a specific period. Owing
10 the fact that mails were not car
Tied as a rule on Sundays then,
Sunday was excluded in the selection
of divisor in ascertaining the aver
age weight In 1907 the postmaster
general announced that in contracts
thereafter to be made Sunday would
be included, thus reducing the weight
average and the railroads compen-
Sation.
Assistant Attorney General Thomp-
son for the government contended
that the postmaster general had a
right under the law to exercise his
discretion in selecting the divisor
John NJ Dickinson, former secretary
of war. and John G. Johnson of Phil
adelphia, for the railroads, argued
that the selection of divisor exclud-
ing Sunday had been tacitly recog
nized by law and that the postmaster
general could not change it.

Of WORKMAN At

Brattleboro. Sept 20.-Timothy p.
O'Connor, 4S years old, an employee Of
w. II. Vinton & Son. paper mnnufac-
turcrs. was electrocuted this morning
when he either touched or approached
very near a wire of tho Connecticut
River Power Co. which carries $4,000
volts. DIR. II. Il. Hunter and employees
of the Twin State Gas and Electric
company worked over him for over
two hours with a pulmotor but with
out avail.
Mr.. OConnor, with oliver II. Smith.
another employee of Vinton e., Son,
were on the roof of the transformer
shed rigging a staging to continue
their work of painting the main build
ing of the plant. Mr.. Smith said he
heard a sharp crack and looked to see
his companion falling with flames
shooting from about his waistline up
as high as his head. He was not then
touching the high voltage wire.
He fell partly off of the roof across
wires that carry $50 volts. Mr.. Smith
grabbed and dragged him on to the
roof, receiving a slight shock himself,
but not enough to incapacitate him.
1t is claimed by Power company en-
ployes that the men had been warned
repeatedly of the danger and that
when painting was being done a few
days ago at n lower point the power
was shut off and that. had the request
been made to-day 1t would have been
shut off from the plant again.

AUSTRIA STILL FRIENDLY.
Vienna Sends Assurance Dumbn's Re-
call Does Not Affect Relo.jons.

Vienna. Sept. IS. by courier to Berlin
and thence to London Sept. 20, 20 n.
m.-The recall Of DR.. Dumba cannot have
any possible eject on the existing good
relations between Austria and the United
States, according to assurance given to
the Associated Press authoritatvcly by
a high government official.
Thus far no report has been received
from DR.. Dumba and 1t is assumed here
that because Of difficulties OF communi-
n report in person. Until then, It Is
stated. the government feels compelled
to exercise retlcence.
The official referred TO explained the
governmental attitude as follows:
1.-THE wish expressed in tho American
note that the friendly and cordial re-
lations may remain unchanged is
shared 10 the fullestT degree by the
Austrian government.
THE American government undoub.-
eddy considered itself in good faith
bound to request the ambassador 's re-
call Cases OF recall of ambassadors
often have occurred in peace times
without any especial Importance be-
ing ascribed to them. and tho Dumba
case should also be considered from
the same standpoint"
The correspondent mentioned the
fact that other officials in Austrian
governmental circles had minated
10 him their feeling that DIR. Dumba.
in so far as he warned his country
men against assistsing In tho making
of munitions, did only his duty.
That is certainly true" was the the
answer Subjects Of the dual monarchy
who do ouch work make themselves
guilty of high treason and would be
severely punished In case of their return.
IT was therefore the ambassadors duty
to warn them
"What says your excellency concern
ing the employment of Archibald as a
messenger" asked the correspondent and
received this reply;
"If as reported In the press, Archibald
was an old friend of DR.. Dumba. It was
understa ndable that the ambassador. IN
view OF the great difficulties of com.
munication, employed him without givine
tho matter a second thought"

to simplicity, but as to shape it con
tinues to blow every which way" In
materials hatters' plush. velours and
combinations of velvet with other ma
terials are in steady demand and such
combinations appear in these two hats.
At the top the picturesque shape is
of velvet and plush, the velvet D
ing on the upper brim and in a wide
flange against the plush facing. The
top crown IS of velvet. A wide. hand
some faille ribbon is laid in folds
about the side crown and the ends are
Joined at the right of the front. Here
an odd feather ornament is posed at
an equally odd angle. Sprays of fine
feathers, which look like f~rost-coyered
twigs, spring from a big cabochon OF
feathers and dance in every breeze
that blows. At the left a ball and tas-
sci OF silk. fastened against the crown,
give this model more than the usual
allowance of ornament.

regular and the crown is eccentric 10
