and have learned from them one thing in particular That these affections are the same and that they are properly called catarrh As for Dr Hartmans remedy Peruna I have found it to be the best if not the only reliable remedy for these affections has been my stand by for many years and I attribute my good health and my extreme old age to this remedy It exactly meets all my requirements I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which 1 need medicine I believe it to be especially valuable to old people although I have no doubt it is just as good for the young

I cannot speak too highly of Peruna and now when 88 years old can say it has invigorated my whole system I cannot but think dear Doctor that you must feel very thank fulto the all loving Father that

Columbus Ohio Scotch Stories The recent St Andrews dinners ac cording to the Westminster Gazette have been noteworthy for the profu sion of Scotch stories which in several cases fairly set the tables in a roar Some of them have an ancient ring but there is one that is perhaps not generally known A doctor was at tending a dangerous case where a Scotch butler was engaged On calling in the forenoon he said to Donald I hope your masters temperature is much lower today than it was last night Im no sae very sure about that replied the butler for he deed this morning Finished the Quotation Apropos of mottoes on houses a cor respondent of the Westminster Gazette relates that a man in Scotland wished to have cut over the door of a new house the text My house shall be called a house of prayer He left the workmen to carry out his wishes dur ing his absence and on his return his horror was great to find the quotation completed But ye have made it a den of thieves We had a wee thing mair room ye

C Getchell of this place relates a happy experience which will be read with interest by all those who have a similar trouble It appears that last winter Mr Get chell was seized with a lameness and soreness in his back which grew worse and worse till at last it became very bad and made it very difficult for him to get about at all After a time he heard of a new rem edy for backache which some of his friends and neighbors said had cured them and he determined to try it The name of the remedy is Dodds Kidney Pills and Mr Getchell has proven that it is a sure cure He says I used two boxes of Dodds Kidney Pills according to directions and my lame back was entirely cured and I am all O K again Dodds Kidney Pills are as good as represented This remedy is very popular here and has worked some

STOCK MARKET Latest Quotations from South Omaha and Kansas City SOUTH OMAHA CATTLE There was a very light run of cattle so that the market went a little higher again Buyers all seemed to have Quito liberal orders so that trading was brisk and everything offered sold in a hurry There were only a few bunches of cornfed steers on sale and those changed hands freely ut prices ranging from strong to a dime higher than yesterday As com pared with Tuesday and Wednesday the -market Is fully 15c higher The cow mar ket was also active and btrong to 10c higher Prices on cow stuff have im proved the last two days fully as much as values on beef steers so that the market Is nearly back to where It was a week ago today The same as with bteers the situation could probably best be descirbed by calling the market nearly steady to a dlmo lower for the week Bulls are sell ing in just about the same notches they were a week ago Prices have not changed much as they have been ex tremely low for some time past About the only change In the market from day to day was in the demand as it was much easier to sell bulls on some days than on others Veal calves held up in pretty good shape all the week There wore only a few btockers and feeders on sale and the demand was limited with prices a shade lower HOGS The demand on the part of the packers was quite liberal so the market opened active and 510c higher The bulk of the medium weight hogs sold from JG75 to JGS5 while the prime heavyweights sold largely from 6S5 to JC90 The light hogs sold from JG75 down It was evi dent that packers

Wonderful Yield of Wheat Attract ing Thoacanda Until tho last five or six years but little attention was given to that vast area of grain producing land lying north of the 49th parallel and Imme diately adjoining tho northern boun daries of Minnesota and Dakota Tho Canadians themselves wera aware of tho wealth that lay there but being unable to fully occupy it they have asked the Americans to assist them in converting the land from its virgin state to one that will largely supplement the grain producing area of the North American continent and the response has been most lib eral During the year 1901 upwards of 20000 from the United States went over to Canada being induced to set tle there by the reports that reached them of the success of those who had preceded them during the previous years This 20000 was increased to 30000 during the year 1902 and it is fully expected that there will be fully 50000 during the present year Tho work of the immigration branch of tho Canadian government is not now be ing directed towards giving informa tion as to the advantages of settle ment In Canada as it is to extending an Invitation to the Americans to fol low those who have gone Those who have charge of tho work point with considerable pride to tho success of those who have been In duced to take advantage of the offer of 160 acres of land free in Canada and have no cause to hesitate in con tinuing the Invitation Many of those interested say there are no more free homesteads to be had in Canada but the writer has most positive assurance from the Canadian government that

lot of things that his head is responsible for Charlotte Yongcs Growing Popularity Charlotte M Yonge died two years ago and since that event a steadily increasing demand for her stories has developed so the publishers report Whether it is because or a turning from the problem novel and the super strenuous historical story to the qui eter style of the older novelists or whether it is due to renewed
