There Is more Catarrh In tills sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until thej
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly railing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Seienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh 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 offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and

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 are sick.
Weil 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

manently.
Theodore Josephson, 515 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,
at times so severe that 1 was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention j
and I procured a box. 1 used them i
and as a result my health is now ex- !
cellent. I take a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when ,
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

WESTON AND WALKING.
Famous Pedestrian, Hale and Husky
at Seventy, Off For San Francisco.
Edward Paysou Weston at three
score and ten Is a wonderfully bale
aoxl husky old geutleiuan and a living
demonstration of his claim that walk
ing Is the best possible preventive of
premature old age. for at the a?e
which the Scriptures fix as the ordinary
limit of the life of man lie Is starting
out to walk across the continent, a
tramp of nearly 5,000 miles, and Is con
fident of arriving in San Francisco on
schedule time, or on July 8, If not a
little before. He chose his seventieth
birthday, March 1.", as an appropriate
time for beginning his Journey. Re
membering how faithfully Mr. Weston
fulfilled his promises when he walked
from Portland. Me., to Chicago a little
more than a year ago. the public looks
to Mr. Weston to make good this time.
Ills last long walk was a repetition of
a performance he had made forty years
before, and many doubted whether he
could do the same thins again. Lie not
only repeated the performance, but
lowered his record by walking the
1.2SS miles between the Maine city
and Chicago in L'l days and 10 hours,
nearly twenty -eight hours less time
than It took him as a young man of
twenty-nine.
Mr. Weston Is a native of Provi
dence. 1{. I., and as a boy he was not
particularly strong, but exercise, and
especially walking, so improved his j
health that lie has lived to enjoy a
green old age and feels good for many
more walks. His first long walk was
from ISoston to Washington to witness
EDW.VRO l'AV.SON WESTON.
the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln,
lie was twenty-two then, and lie cov
ered the miles in "-'OS hours. It
was his Porilaud-Chlcngo walk which
won him international fame, and in
1S7<; he went to England and did pe
destrian feats that attracted the en
thusiastic admiration of thousands of
spectators. In 1 NT: ? he won the famous
A st Icy championship belt.
Weston believes that American youth
do altogether too little walking and
hopes by his example to show how
much ft might improve their health.
GOVERNOR AS WITNESS.
Unusual Experience of Tennessee Ex
ecutive In Cooper Trial.
1 It was a trying situation in which
the governor of Tennessee, Malcolm
It ice Patterson, found himself in con
nection with the trial of Colonel Dun
can Cooper for the killing of ex-Sena
tor Edward W. Carmack. It Is an un
usual thing for the governor of a
state to take the stand in a criminal
trial. This Governor Patterson did,
and the statements that had been made
as to his connection with the case
caused it to be an especially severe
ordeal for him. The governor testi
fied that so far from encouraging Colo
nel Cooper in his enmity to Senator
: Carmack he had done his best to get
Cooper to drop the matters at Issue be
tween them and had sought to pre
vent any collision between the two
men. Governor Patterson is well known

Sperry as head of the great force of j
lighting machines wlvn the latter offi

of the fleet Includes many important
changes, among them the detachment
of Captain Hugo Ostcrhaus from com
mand of the Connecticut to the com
mand of the second division of the j
fleet, with the Minnesota as his flag
ship.
Admiral Schroeder has a long and
honorable record in the navy. lie was
appointed to it from South Carolina on
Sept. 27, 1801, as a midshipman and
was made ensign on April ID, 1809.
On July 12, 1S70, he was promoted to
the rank of master. Ills next ad- |
vancement was to a lieutenancy, ;
which he received on Oct. 29. 1S72. lie
was made lieutenant commander on '

GOVERNOR TO MISSIONARY.
The Unusual Courso Taken by Former
Executive of North Carolina.
Itobert B. Glenn, who retired a few
weeks ago as governor of North Caro
lina, has taken up mission work as his
H0BE1ST B QLKNN*
future profession and is now engaged
by the executive committee on borne
missions of the Southern Presbyterian
church as its special representative.
! The historic remark of the governor
of North Carolina to the governor of
J South Carolina, "It's a long time be
tween drinks," Is recalled when the ex
ecutive of the Tar Heel State is spoken
of, and it does not seem quite appro
priate that he should be a man noted
for his religious proclivities. But for
j mer Governor Glenn Is a Presbyterian
J elder and a temperance man, and it was
muler his leadership that North Caro
J Una enacted Its state prohibition law.
The governor of South Carolina during
Mr. Glenn's sen-Ice as executive of
North Carolina was also a temperance
man, so that neither exactly corre
sponded to popular ideas of what a
governor In the Carolinas should be.
Governor Glenn became famous
about a year ago because of his con
troversy with a federal judge over the
enforcement of railway rate laws
within the state and his championship
of state rights. On this account he
was even talked of for a time as a pos
sible uomlnee for the presidency on
the Democratic ticket.
