Meat remedies for tho treatment of catarrh nro In tho form of sprays, Inhalers, powders, washes or salves, all purely local applica tions and many of them often give tempo rary relief, but tho reason nnno of them ever really euro chronic catarrh Is because catarrh Is not a local dlseaso and It cannot bo cured simply by treating the local symp tom i f. Moreover tho moro serious forms of catarrh, llko catarrh of the stomach and catarrh of tho bronchial tubcH. cannot bo reached at all by local applications nnd tho fact thnt neglected cntnrrh of tho head very soon Involves tho bronchial tubes, stomach and liver, demonstrates thnt tho disease is a blood disorder, a constitutional malady nnd not nt all a local disease. To roajly euro catarrh tho sjt,tem must bo cleansed from catarrhal poison by an in ternal remedy which ncu luVuilvely upon tho blood and liver. Tho succors of a new catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, Is because It drives out ot tho syntent, through nutural channels, tho catarrhal poison and tho mucous lining of tho nose, throat nnd trachea nro freed from tho excessive mucus which collects and c.ucs tho hawking, (.pitting and gogglnn. because tho excessive secretion Is not furnished from healthy blood. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many of thn snmo valuable antiseptics used In sprayu and Inhalers, hut Instead of being applied co tho Inllamed membrunes of tho nose and throat they nro taken Into tho stomach and thus reach tho blood, the real seat nnd causa of tho disease.

PUTS ON FOUR FAS r TRAINS TO CHICAGO lluslues Men of This City Kndnrnc llnrlliiKtuii for Heiliielne Time nnd I lie reus I iik Trnlu Service OiuiiIiii to CIiIciiko. All bouquets In rnllroal clrcltu this week are labelled "Ilurllngton." Since tho announcement that tho Ilurllng ton would run four fast trains from Omaha to Chicngo every day In the week, that company has received .unstinted commenda tion. The business men of Omnha. whoso Interests are dependent upon quick servile to and from tho east, huvc plainly mani fested their appreciation of the Burlington's move, Tho Idea of shortening tho tlmo between tho two cities, and, nt tho samo time, establishing morning, afternoon, even ing and midnight flyers, has been received by them with uncommon enthusiasm. As, for nearly twenty years, tho Ilurllng ton has beon preferred by Undo Sam 'or carrying tho through mails, so It now np pears to bo preferred for smooth traveling by Omnhans. Among tho prominent citi zens who pralso the now service of tho Ilurllngton are the following: W. H. McCord "Tho people of Omaha should consider themselves vory fortunatn to havo such fast, frequent and excellent service as tho Ilurllngton Route Is now giving them." T. J. Rogers "Again the ilurllngton Is a headllncr. I believe the peoplo of Omaha and the west appreciate that they are for tunatn In having a great railroad Bystcm like the Hurllngton. and, with the additional fast trains and unexcelled service, that tho Ilurllngton will become, more famous than ever," II. H. Hnldrldgo "Ily administering to tho highest comfort nnd o.ivenlcnce of tho public and rendering It prompt nnd elllclrnt service, tho Ilurllngton system has nttalned tho great popularity which It enjojs today. I havo found thnt Its facilities for carrying tho traveling public are unexcelled." W. A. Paxton "Tho peoplo of Omaha, In my opinion, appreciate the action of tho Ilurllngton In giving them the splendid, rapid and frequent service between this city and Chicago, for which the Ilurllngton Is o Justly noted. Traveling as I am, almost continually, I speak from experience when 1 say that the service of the Ilurllngton la unexcelled anywhero In tho world." fnyn It In AIiviin I'lrot. E. B. Hruce "The Ilurllngton road was the llrst to Invite Omahans to dewert the hovel and havo a palace; first to donate $30.- 000 to the TransinlssttMlppi anil International Exposition; llrst to say, "From 4 p. m. until 7:Ii0 a. m. a fourteen-hour train will leavo this station for Chicago every three hours and llfty-two minutes,' which will meet the hearty approval of business men and pleasure seekers." Andrew Rcscwater "These progressive steps by tho Ilurllngton cannot fall of re ceiving marked appreciation by tho public, which is quick to discern advantages of this nature, in connection with this Improve ment I recall, years ogo, when, with tho characteristic enterprise of the Ilurllngton, It was the first to lntroduco und adopt tho dining car. Your Denver trains, so com fortable and convenient, recall, In strange contrast, my first two trips across the plains In tho '60s, when It took us four weeks to reach Denver by wagon from Omaha, If weather permitted. Now we enter a Hurllng ton palace car nt night, and, nftcr traveling over a ballasted roadway unsurpassed for smoothness anywhere, we reach Denver early the next morning In time for breakfast." O. W. Clabaugh "Tho public has been given so many surprises by the Hurllngton road. In Its Innovations for the comfort and convenience of Its' patrons, thnt It Is with dlfllculty one can keep apace of them. The new trains to Chicago, particularly tho one which leaves Omaha at 7:30 p. m., mako n vnluablo acquisition to tho traveling public. They not only economize time, but, by their mngnlflcent equipment and good service, mako n Journey over the Ilurllngton n real pleasure." I'rnlse from Another Itond. W. V. Morse "A high ofllclal of u railroad (not the Ilurllngton) recently said: 'The Ilurllngton always gets Its trains there on time.' When one considers the terrific speed made by your splendid trains It Is a wonder. 1 havo been over tho road between Omaha nnd Chicago at least 300 times nnd have not only never had an accident, but have never f?cn one. The Omaha people fully appreciate tho four great trains which dally make the tilp." Euclid Martin "It seems to me that tho citizens of Omaha cannot but appreciate tho Improvement Inaugurated by the Hurllngton In tho additional trains recently arranged for between Chicago and this point. It has been n subject of congratulation to Omaha for some years that our service between hero nnd Chicago was of tho very highest order and It certainly has been Improved by your recent additional trains. No city In tho union can boaat of more complete com munication with the outer world than Is afforded Omaha to the east, and better scrvlco than thnt afforded by tho HurHngton line between hero and Chicago docs not. In my Judgment, oxlst. F. B. Sanborn "Tills may not look llko a very big thing to n man on tho outside, but to tho man who actually knows what It means. It teems wonderful that time and spaco havo been annihilated to inteli an ex tent In a few years. I know something nbout two of thesa Hurllngton trains. Last summer, nlong with half a dozen of tho boys In our business, wo mado tho daylight run to Chicago. The train was splendid; the scrv lco wan excellent, and the speed was al most enough to ralso our hair. When wo came back wo had a proof that It runs down hill both ways, and the boys tpeak of those trains now ns tho finest they ever saw." Honry W. Yates "Tho Hurllngton road has alwajfi set the pace for Omaha. It re fused to enter tho old cowshed called by courtety r union depot, nnd built (lrst a modest little depat of Its awn, ami then the present elegant structuro not surpassed In beauty and convenience by any In the coun try. If It had not been for the Hurllngton, it Is probable that tho vexatious transfer cf all eabt nnd west passengers at Council Hlufl'n would etlll bo demanded, which re duced Omnha to tho condition of an ordl- i nary way station, and tho old 24-hour, ono train per day, scrvlco would still be In operation. Tho Ilurllngton has now mado r. distinct advance upon nil of Its past achievements nddlng perfection to perfec tion. It runs on its own linos four first class trains to Chicngo, making tho 500 miles In fourteen hours or better, besides three first-class trains to St. Joseph, Kan sas City and St. Louis. It Is hard for nn eld Omahan to realize what nil this meuns. It is still moro difficult for Its competitors to keep Etep to this music. Hut they must do ao as beft they can, and In this way Omaha Is made tho most uctlve traveling center In tho country. Let credit, Jwwever, bo given to whom credit Is due." HERB ARB THE Fltll'RES.
