Forget You Ever Had It.'
Catarrh the Most Odious of All Diseases
Stamped Out, Root, and Branch.
Catarrh is the most foul and of
fensive disease that afflicts the human
race. Any one with social ambitions
had better renounce them if he has a
bad case of catarrh, for his presence,
if tolerated at all, will bo endured
under protest. The foul and sicken
ing breath, the watery eyes, the hawk
ing and spitting and fetid discharge at
the nose make the unfortunate suf
ferer the most avoided of human be
ings. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are the
liope and relief of catarrh, victims all
over the world. They go direct to the
root of the disease and thoroughly
eradicate it from the human system.
They cleanse and purify the blood of
all catarrhal poisons and under their
influence all impurities are carried off.
The blood becomes tfure, the eye
brightens, the head is cleared, the
breath becomes sweet, the lost sense
of smell is restored, the discharges
cease and the sufferer again feels, that
ho has something to live for. He is
again a man among men and can meet
his fellow beings with satisfaction and
pleasure.
The following letter from a St. Louis
lawyer is only one of thousands re
ceived praising the merits and cura
tivo powers of Stuart's Catarih Tab
lets. Read what he says:
"I suffered from catarrh for fifteen
years. It would "be worse at certain
seasons than others, but never failed
to annoy me and cause me more or
less misery during that period. About
a year ago I got so bad that I thought
of abandoning my practice: I was a
nuisance to myself and all who came
near me. My condition was very hu
miliating and especially so in the
court room. I had tried, I thought,
every known remedy; all kinds of
balms, ointments, inhalers, sprays,
etc., till I thought I had completed
the list. I was finally told of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets by a friend who took
pity on me and, as a drowning man
will catch at a straw, I got some and
began taking them. I began to im
prove from the first day and I kept up
the good work you may rest assured.
In six weeks I was as free from ca
tarrh as the day I was born, but to
make assurance doubly sure, I con
tinued the treatment for six weeks
longer.
"I have had no trace of catarrh in
my system since. I am entirely free
from the odious disease and feel like a
new man. I write this letter unsolic
ited for the benefit of fellow-sufferers
and you may give it as widespread
publicity as you wish."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at 50 cts. a box.
A Sure Enough Speaker.
Years ago Tom Reed, then speaker
of the house of representatives, went
into a barber's shop in "Washington
to be shaved. After the darky barber
had scraped his chin he began to cast
about for further work or for a chance
to sell hair tonics.
"Hair purty thin, suh," he said, fin
gering the two or thrae stray locks
that fringed Mr, Reed's bald pate.
"Been that way long, suh?"
"I was born that way," replied
Reed. "Afterward I enjoyed a brief
period of hirsute efflorescence, but it
did not endure."
The barber gasped and said no
wore. Later someone told him he had
shaved the speaker. "Speakah!" he
c-xclaimed. "Don' I know dat? I

It seems that the recent events in
isthmian and South American waters
has convinced the Washington govern
ment that there is a great necessity
of increasing the mosquito fleet and
therefore the matter has been referred
to the navy department. Secretary
Moody, after a careful investigation
of the situation has decided to recom
mend to congress the constructions
no less than six additional vessels.
Tho Washington dispatch Bays:
These boats will be of tho Nashville
type, with certain modifications. They
will be of about 1,000 tons displace
ment, and will cost about $250,000
each. They will be usoful in tho wa
ters of the South American republics.
A Washington dispatch by tho As
sociated press, under date of Novem
ber 21, says: Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Taylor has received a
communication from Senator Fair
banks of Indiana, as chairman of an
association to erect a monument to
former President Harrison, inquiring
whether the government objects to
tho monument being placed on the
grounds of the. United States federal
building at Indianapolis. Tho depart
ment has replied to Senator Fairbanks
to the effect that the government will
interpose no objection whatever, and
making some suggestions as to the ex
act location of the monument and the
character of it. The grounds of tho
federal building at Indianapolis are
exceptionally large and can well ac
commodate a monument.
Recently Commissioner of Pensions
Ware decided that the Mexican war
veterans who are on the rolls at $8
per month are entitled to an increase
to $12 per month. This marks the end
of a controversy as to what constitutes
the claim of several of these veterans
to pension privileges.
mingo has arranged to surrendor tho
city to the revolutionists, and a later
dispatch reported that this had boon
done and tho president had found
refuge on board a German warship.
It is bolioved that this ends the revo
lution, and that peace will soon be re
After several conferences, tho re
publican and democratic leaders of
the senate have agreed on December
16 as the time for taking a final vote
on the Cuban reciprocity bill, If possi
ble, and it is believed that little op
position to this plan will be met with.
The United States government is
about to assemble oft the isthmus of
Panama the greatest fleet it has ever
mobilized in time of emergency or of
treaty expedience. The fleet will be
in command of Rear Admiral R. D.
Evans of the Asiatic fleet, Rear Ad
miral Coghlan of the Caribbean squad
ron and Rear Admiral J. D. Glass of
the Pacific squadron,
The joint resolution recently intro
duced in the United States senate by
Senator Newlands inviting Cuba to
become a state of tho United States
has caused much comment in Cuba
and the general sentiment is expressed
to the effect that Cuba prefers to stand
alone instead of having their country
annexed to the United States. The
same feeling prevails In Porto Rico in
regard to having that island become a
province of Cuba, as provided in the
resolution of Senator Newlands.
On November 23 it was announced
that the senate committee on mili
tary affairs would designate a sub
committee to go to Cuba for the pur
pose of investigating tho conduct and
record .of General Leonard Wood,
whose name Is before the senate 'com
mittee In connection with charges re
cently made against his administra
tion of military affairs m Cuba.

States Minister Powell, under date of
San Domingo, - Novemher 23, he an

It was announced on November 21
that Eugeno F. Ware, the-commissioner
of pensions, will retire from
that office next year about this time,
as the place is distasteful to him and
ho wishes to return to his law practice
in Kansas.
Tho recent battle In Jolo provlnco
in tho Philippines between a detach
ment of American troops under Gen
eral Wood and the Moros In which
battle many of tho latter wore killed
has resulted in nn investigation and
General Wood expresses tho opinion
that the course taken by the Moros
abrogates tho Bates' treaty. It Is said
that by the Bates' treaty with the sul
tan of Jolo tne Uniceu States bound
itsolf not to interfere with tho do
mestic institutions of the Moros,
which included slavery; nor with
their religion, tho Mohammedan,
which included polygamy.
On Novembor 25 Representative Cur
tis of Kansas introduced to tho presi
dent C. E. Foley of Eufaula, I. T.,
who recently was designated by a
convention of the inhabitants of the
territory to go to Washington and ask
congress to allow Indian territory a
delegate. Tho need of such a dele
gate was set forth in tho resolutions
presented to the president and he has
promised to give the matter consideration.
On November 25 the Cuban reciproc
ity bill was the subject of discussion
in the senate. Tho first speech on the
bill was made by Senator Carmack of
Tennessee, who spoke in opposition to
the measure. When Mr. Carmack's
speech was concluded, the resolution
introduced by Senator Newlands of
Nevada in relation to Cuban statehood
was taken up and discussed, Senators
Teller, Hale and Carmack, as well as
Mr. Newlands, taking part In the discussion.
Brigadier Gen. F. Funston, com
manding the department of tho Co
lumbia, recently submitted his report
to the adjutant general, In which re
port his investigation of the reports of
destitution among the natives of Alas
ka, was set forth. General Funston's
report shows that there is more or less
destitution among the .Indians and Es
kimos of Alaska and therefore recom
mends that these people be placed un
der the control of the department of
the interior.
W. A. Sutherland, in charge of the
Philippine boys who have como to
the United States for education in
American metnods, recently made a
report as to the disposition ho had
made of his charges to Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the Insular bureau.
Ninety-six boys were brought from
tho Philippines, and these have been
placed in various families in Southern
California, where they will take ad
vantage of tho nearest educational fa
cilities. Next summer, according to a
Washington dispatch, the youths will
be brought east to complete their edu
cation, to which they must devote
four years. They are pledged to en
ter the Philippine civil service upon
their return to the Islands and must
remain In that service a" least four
years. The boys start at a solid foun
dation in their studies, several of them
