There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, ami until the
last few years was supposed to be in
Curable. For a gr< at many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and bv con
stantly failing to euro with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrli Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They off>.-r
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
fron the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys arc sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Hack pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of!
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap- !
proach of dropsy, diabetes and
Urlght's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per
manently.
Theodore Joseplison, 1 5 Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins, i
at times so severe that I was unable ,
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se-j
cretions generally being too frequent
In passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. I used them |
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when j
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

tlie mere roil tape cabinet to which j
they now belong. Secretary of State !
Knox lias already raken ihis step and
may be expected to get as expert with
drives and puts as lie now is at poker.
It lias bi-i-n said of tlie premier of the
cabinet that he can bet on a bobtail
Hush or a pair of deuces without the
change of a single feature. Diplomats
will do well t<> remember this in their
dealings with him. Knox also drives
fast horses, and it Is related that he
once had a runaway and deliberately
headed for a stone pile and risked
oreaking his neck to save his team.
So nlccl.v hail lie
calculated the fall,
however, that he
was not rerlously
hurt, and the horses
came off with hard
ly a scratch. All of
which illustrates
that Knox has
brains that are al
ways ou the job.
lie Is so dry and
matter of fact, bow
ever. that people
who do not know
him well can hard
ly credit the fact
that he has sport
ing blood. It was
auionir such ill in
formed persons that
the slander arose to Dickinson ani>

tion lie reads the constitution. The |
only truth i?i the statement is that he
does read, reads oinnlvorously. reads
in the street cars, reads in bed, reads
anywhere and cverj where. He also
lislies. About once a year he breaks
away from politics and with Henry
Clay Frlck betakes hiuiself to the
Florida coast and catches tarpon. Mat
thew Stanley Quay, whom Knox sue
ceeded in the senate, used to do the j
same thing.
If Franklin MacYeagh, t ho new head
of the treasury department, has any
fails or foibles lie
iH'vi r lias been dis
covered in the net.
MaeVeagh is a man

voles the Republican
ticket. His friends
call him an independ
ent and liis enemies
a mugwump. The j
only discreditable
thing he was ever
known to do was to
run for senator 011
the Democratic ticket
and set beaten. The ;
best tiling about:
him Is that he ad

cousm>:-3 In a city where 1 1 inky Dinks
i ml Kathhouse Johns have too much
iuliucncc in municipal afl'airs. Mac
Veagli had a brother in Garfield's cab
inet and is himself a millionaire, j
These two facts, among others, will
set him the glad hand In Washington.
Jacob McGavock Dickinson, who has
Taft's old job as secretary of war, Is
nearly as big as Taft and three or four
inches taller. Dickinson is a combina
tion of a southern planter, a college
professor and a corporation attorney.
His only recreation, so far as known,
Is raising blooded stock down on Belle
Mead farm, the estate near Nashville
that used to belong to Andrew Jack
son. Like MacVeagh, Dickinson is a
Democrat who does not work at it.
George von Lengcrko Meyer, secre
tary of the navy, has about all the
recreations known to the mind of man.
lie is a proficient automobilist, is a
yachtsman, a crack shot, a social ex
port and plays the
game of li 1 g I' f I
nance. lie used to
take the kins of
Italy out autolng
and probably would
have done the same
thing for the czar
of Kussia If .Nicho
las had not been a
little nervous about
bombs that might be
thrown by his lov
lug subjects. When
Meyer was an am
bassador at itome
and St. Petersburg
he cut quite a social

Frank Harris Hitchcock, postmas

the gentle art of electing presi
dents, Is the only bachelor in tho
cabinet. Tills makes

season and assures
the fnlr sex that Ills
chief recreation will
be In the and in;:

being that' of flsli,

It is about this time that the post

of this department.

enough fun out of

lie lias long been

Tho Dirtiest Placo In America.
What is declared to be the filthiest
spot <m the continent Is the Intersec
tion of Chicago avenue and Ilalstead
street, Chicago. All day and Into the
night the pesky tugs of the Chicago ,
river pass under the bridge at that
point, emitting clouds of soft coal
smoke. Hard by arc the roundhouses
of a railroad company which is busy
the year round. The locomotives burn
soft coal. In the immediate vicinity
are groat factories which belch forth
black smoke thick enough to cut with
a meat ax. Ash and garbage dumps
are heaped at every turn. A number
of concerns that use large quantities
of sawdust are in evidence. As the
wind Is always in a gale in tho vicinity,
the air is laden with the flying parti
cles of this refuse, which blinds the
eyes of people whose business takes
them to that part of the city. The rim
of tho vicinity is the most cosmopoli
tan in the world. In this settlement
are Armenians, Turks. Neapolitans and
negroes. It abuts the section which ;
the police call "Little Hell." Some
parts of the streets are unpaved, and *
there are stretches of ground where
there has never been a sidewalk. Of
ten long lines of teams will be stuck
in the black mud up to their hubs.
The hubbub of Bedlam was a grave
yard compared to the uitee of this
community. 1 1
