THERE IS
GREAT
CATARRH.
DANGER IN
If Left to Run Its Course Unchecked, It
Often Causes Death.
Catarrh scatters its poisons through
out the entire system. The stomach
and lungs are affected "by the drop
pings that fall" Into the throat and are
swallowdd during sleep. Dyspepsia,
inflammation- of the stomach, bron
chitis atid consumption are the results.
The blood alio becomes contaminated
and carries the poisons to all parts of
the system. ' Frequently in the more
advanced stages, the bones of the head
become decayed and the air passages
ar3 a putrid mass and create a stencil
bo foul and offensive as to bo un
bearable. The expression, "rotten with
catarrh," is" not overdrawn or exag
gerated. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets strike at
the" root of this terrible, odjous dis
ease and eradicate it from the system.
They are a constitutional remedy that
cleanses the systeni thoroughly of all
poisons and purifies the blood. TJn,
der ttieir influence 'the head becomes
clea the discharges .at the nose and
drpppings intothe throat cease, the
lost sehseof smell is restored, the eye
brightens, the foul breath becomes
pure and sweet and tho odious, dis
gusting disease is thoroughly expelled
from the system.
A Cincinnati man says: "I suffered
the misery and humiliation of catarrh'
for twelve years. My case became so
aggravated that it seriously interfered
with all my business relations. The
disease became so offensive that I
would not venture into any one's
presence unless it were absolutely nec
essary. I tried every remedy that I
could get hold of.- Some helped me
temporarily, but as soon as I ceased
talcing them, I would relapse inlo the
old condition,
"Finally a "riend told me of Stuart's
Calarrh Tablets aYid insisted that I
try thCm. I had about despaired of
ever finding help, but bought a box
a'vway. I began to notice the iva?
provement within twenty-four hours
after-1 began taking them. Before
the first box was gone I felt like an
other man. I Kept up the treatment
till I had taken three boxes and was
e itirely cured. ,1 frave never had a
recurrence of the trouble from that
day to this. My -head fs clear and well
arifi none of the offensive, symptoms of
the disease ever trouble me.Tif has
been- two years since I stopped tak
ing them."

The Deadly Cost of the Philippines.
The nation does all that can be
done for its dead who meet their end
in tho distant islands of tho Pacific.
They are buried in tho soil they loved
and their friends are given tho oppor
tunity of paying tho last tribute of re
spect to their memories. But why
need they have died? Has tho mor
tality of tho Philippines not been to
tally unnecessary? Tho war has been
over for years, yet the deaths go on.
Disease has succeeded sword and fire
arms and insanity stalks hand in hand
with death. Such is the cost. What
is the gain? Nothing that can recom
pense tho nation for tho loss of tho
thousands of lives that have been sac
rificed to the thirst for conquest. We
paid twenty million dollars for islands
that we do not want and that sq far
have failed to even pay Interest on
the investment and, in addition, have
cost us millions more and will cost us
many millions still. Taken altogether
this Philippines situation is the most
regrettable feature of American his
tory. Boston Traveler.
Diseases of Metals.
Certain metallurgists in Gcrmnny,
says Harper's Weekly, havo como to
tho conclusion tnat metals are capa
blo of being Infected with diseases. A
leading scientist, Professor lloyn, has
found that in tho injury dono to cop
per from overheating tho motal is
poisoned with what ho calls copper
protoxide, a disorder which causes
sickness and structural weakness.
Steel that has been poisoned by hy
drogon is deteriorated until It becomes
almost as brittle as glass. Another
scientist has discovered a certain kind
of tin pest which Inhabits roofs. Ho
found also that when tho diseased
motal was brought fn contact with
healthy tin the latter soon became in
fected, and was finally destroyod.
How Soon a Train Stops.
At a recent convention of air brake
men an interesting report was pre
sented, showing how the distance re
quired for tho stopping of a train has
been reduced by the new high speed
brake.
A train 'running eighty miles an
hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by tho
high speed brake at ten pounds, where
ordinary pressure of seventy pounds
took exactly half 'a mile to bring it to
a stand. Other train speeds and re
ductions in stopping distances were
these: Fifty miles an hour, from 840
to 700 feet; fifty-five miles an hour,
from 1,'095 to 830 feet; sixty miles,
1,330 to 1,000 feet; sixty-five miles,
1,635 to 1,300 feet; seventy miles, 2,012
to 1,510 feet; seventy-five miles, 2,295
to 1,840 feet. Elmjra (N. Y.) Gazette.

First to Prohibit Slavery.
The first Americans to prohibit slav
ery in this country were the back
woodsmen of Vermont, who incorpor
ated this rule In tho constitution of
1777, which established Vermont as an '
independent republic. Mayo W. Ha
zeltlne, the, well known author and
critic, contributes to Harper's for Aug
ust an historical account of the time
when Vermont was a self-governing
republic, possessing a unique council
of thirteen censors, who were chosen
by the people every seven years for
the purpose of inquiring if the consti
tution had been violated. The article
is illustrated by portraits and rare
documents. Kansas City Journal.
The Lincoln Car.
The. Union Pacific has sold the Lincoln-car,
which 1-as been the property
of the road for the last 37 years, and
it will be placed on exhibition on the
Pike in St. Louis next year. For
years the car has stood on the tracks
near the Union Pacific shops, in
Omaha, Neb., and it has attracted
scarcely passing notice of Omaha peo
ple except when it was on view at
the Trans-Mississippi exhibition. It
was also exhibited at Chicago in 1893.
The car was built at the military
car shops in Alexandria, Va., in 1864,
It was ironclad, armor plate being"
set between the inner and outer walls
to make it armor proof. After the car

Justified. -
"Sir," said tho police magistrate,
"you are accused of smiting this man
with a hammer and then throwing
him out of tho .ofilce. What have you
to say for yourself?"
"Your honor," replied the prisoner,
"I am a peaceable business man and
the complainant is . an editor. He
wrote an artlclo in which ho referred
to mo as a 'captain of industry' and

"Complaint dismissed," exclaimed
the justice. "A man is In duty bound
to take extreme measures, if neces
sary, to protect his good name."
