Catarrh Is tho short routo to consumption
and tho Importauco of early nnd Judicious
treatment of catarrh, whether located In tho
Jioad, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot bo
too strongly emphasized,
Tho list of catarrh cures Is as long ns tho
moral luw and tho forms In which they nro
ndmlnlatorcd, nunlorous nnd confusing, from
sprays, Inhalers, washes, ointments and
.lives to powders, liquids and tablet.
Tho tablet form 1 undoubtedly the most
convenient nnd most effective, but with
nearly nil advortlsed catarrh remedies It Is
almost eutlroly n matter ot guesswork as to
what you aro taking into your s)ntem, ns
tho proprietors, whllo making all sorts
of claims an to what their medicines will do,
utways keep It a close secret us to what they
aro.
Tho success nnd popularity of tho new
catnrrh euro, Stuart's Catarrh Tablet, Is
largely becaure It not only cures catarrh,
tout because catnrrh sufferers who uso thwo
tablets know what they are taking Into
their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets bo
Ing composed of Eucolyptol, Hydrnatln,
Gualncol nnd .similar valuablo and nntlsep
tic Ingredients, nnd nro pleasant to tho tusto
and being dissolved in tho mouth thoy tnkc
immodUto effect upon tho mucous lining of
tho throat, nasal passages and wbolo ro
vplratory tract.
Tho cures that Stuart'u Catarrh Tablets
liavo uccomplishod In old, chronic cases of
catnrrh aro little short of remarkable, and
tho advantage of knowing what you aro put
ting lulo your stomach Is of paramount Im
portance when it Is roniumbcrcd that tho
cocalnu or morphine habit has been fre
quently contracted as tho result ot using se
cret catarrh remedies.
Stuart'o Catarrh Tablet! meet with cordial
approval from physicians becauso their anti
septic character renders them perfectly safe
for the genernl public to use and ihrlr com
pcs'Nan make them n common aenso euro
for all forms of catarrhal trouble.

tho great Improvement Tnndcf to property
In lS'J'.i and the three months of tho pres

valuation will run considerably abovo
$2,000,000. If tho voluatlon Is raised the
levy will, of course, bo lowered. It Is tho
drslro of tho present republican adminis
tration to roduco tho levy as much as pos

"Trusts" afforded an Interesting topic for
dlticuttdon .Saturday evening at tho meeting
ot tho Patriotic league. Tho opening ad
dress was delivered by Charles J. (ireeno,
John L. Kennedy and others following with
llvc-mlnuto speeches.
Mr. Orecno said that the Issues of the
compalgn were made by tho pcoplo and not
by patty managers. "Four years ago," said
Mr. Orecne, "there was an effort to put
forward tho tariff us the Issue, but It was
crowdud Into second place by the silver ques
tion. This year both ot theso issues must
give way beforo tho problem of tho trusts,
which form tho incut perplexing condi
tion ever beforo tho American people.
"Thero l.s very little to be said on tho
Philippines, an the only question thero lu
whother wo shall reaorc and muintaln order.
As fur Porto Rico It Is understood that tho
present arrangement Is merely to provldo
for tho temporal needs of tho Island. Hut
the trusts nre a living Issue, for wo nro a
nation or corporations. Toduy talent, in
dustry, enterprlso and wealth aro bound to
gether for their mutual good. Can we go
on h a rcpubll' an government when tho
giant form of trtibis like an imperial powor
overshadows commerce? What can tho
country do to mcot this condition?
"Thirty jears uro tho country was con
fronted with the mnince ot railroad domina
tion. The great lines held that they could
fix rates In spito nt the stato's uutborlty.
This condition wn regulated by tho re
publican party, which alone Is competent to
deal with tho present crisis, curbing tho
Greed cf corporate monopoly without as
sailing the good points which It possesses as
tho highest stage In commercial revolution."
Mr. Orecno then rend the, trust plank In
tho republican platform adopted at Lincoln,
w.hcreln u constitutional amendment Is pro
posed that cougrcfa shall be vested with tho
power of regulating all comblncu in re
straint of trade. Ho spoke of tho proposed
step ns ono of the boldest nnd moat experi
mental of any cver conceived for tho solu
tion of a tremendous problem In American
history. He believed that tho question
should bo entrusted to a, republican admin
istration, backed as it' would bo by the sub
stantial commercial Interests and the Intelli
gent nrtlsan class of the country. "I don't
say tho republican party can solve this great
problem," concluded Mr. (Jreene, "but I say
it It; tho only party that ever will."
A brlaf tmslnopfl Pibslon followed tho pro
gram, In which tho question of Incorpo
rating the leaguo was considered. Tho pro
posed capitalization Is $3,000.

At 2 p. in. today thero will bo a meeting
at Oarfleld hall, 1517 Hourd street, look

that tho tno old partita nre not working lu

Independent linen n recominondcd by the
last convention ot tho Amcilcan Federation
of libor.
Tho organization of this club contemplates
tho taking ot such Independent political
action in thu coming county and otato cam
paign no may bo considered ndvlsablo for
tho Interests ot labor, or such other action
as it, may bo considered best to tako to
mot existing conditions that aro oppres
sive to labor. Among the prominent factors
lu thin movement locally is Asa Taylor,
president ot tho Central Labor union. Tho
Impression hatt gone out that this Is a move
mout for tho organization cf u now party,
but such does not appear to bo exactly tho
case. It Is simply the organization of a club
that shall ho independent of both ot tho old
panics. It may in time lead to tbo organi
zation cf a new party. As yet It has no
declared principles nnd no welt formulated
plan of operations. The Initial mooting will
bo behind clcfod doors and no ono will bo
admitted who Is not a member In good stand

D. Clem Dcaver, ohalrman of the middle-of-the-road
populist national committee, left
yesterday for Cincinnati to attend the popu
list national convention this week, which ho
will call to order In his capacity ns head of
tho nntlonal organization. Spejklng of tho
convention beforo ho left, Mr. Denver said:
"We aro all very much encouraged by the
reports we havo recolvcd from tho various
states where conventions have been hold to
nelect delegates to put In nomination 11 pres
idential ticket. All the southern states ex
cept North Carolina, which in Chairman
Butlor'fl stnte, have recognized the Clncln
natl convention ns tho only meeting of tho
true populists and tho representation from
tho northern and Pacific coast states will bo
greater nt our convention than ut Sioux
Fulls.
"I do not think the candidate tn bo nomi
nated has yot been decided upon, but will
bo nettled nt tho convention for tho good
of tho party. Up to tho prcecnt Wharton
Barker has been mentioned mewt often, but
fiomo doubt tho advisability of nominating
him not beeauso thoy think some one elso
might prove stronger lu tho states where
tho populists aro most numerous. I think it in
safe to say that ono of tho nominees on tho
presidential ticket will bo a western man,
probably Donnelly of Minnesota, If tho vice
presidency should go to the west.
"As to myself, 1 hardly feel dlnpofied to
contlnuo In the position of natlounl chair
man, although many havo been urging me
to tlo so. My buslncfw interests here and
tho demnnds ot Nebraska will bo all that
I can do Juatlio to with tho time at my dls
pojal nnd I believe that some one should
tako tho place who can give It undivided
attention.
"Tho Nebraska delegation to Cincinnati
has arranged to attend and I know Nebraska
will havo no reason to tako 11 back seat
in tho Cincinnati convention. I will return
borne on soon as tho buslnesa Is concluded
at Cincinnati."
The delegation will have headquarters
at tho Dennison hotel In Cincinnati. It will
leave for tho convention city Monday morn
ing, going practically in a body. Inquiry
