There is moro Catarrh in this sec
tlou of the country than all other (lis
vases put together, and until the
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
stautly failing to cure 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
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. 11
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer

fails to cure. Send for circulars and

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us,
Strong and Healthy.
All tlio blood in tlio body passes
through the kidiu ys once every three
minutes. Tlio kidneys filter the blood.
They work nigt and day. . When
healthy they remove about .">00 grains
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part ol" this impure mat
tir is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
bearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
ir. the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
\V. A. Hawkins, Ml* Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives m.
pleasure to confirm the statement 1
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney I'ills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent. 1 suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though 1 used remedy after
remedy, 1 was unable to find nelief.
1 had the most severe pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. 1 loan's Kidney
Fills helped me at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney I'ills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."

The Case of Major Iglehart
o o
(Cupyrlght, 11M>, by Anoricuii Proas Aaao
elation.]
It was a queer wise, Jliut of Major
Iglehart. lit- v a s neglectful of duty,
j slovenly lu appearance ami drank hard.
His uniform limit; on him limply, liia
coat turned green, his hoots were mud
dy, and his hair protruded through u
bole in his bat.
| Charges for conduct unbecoming au
officer and a gentieman? drunkenness
were preferred against the major.
They were about to come up for trial
when suddenly the enemy came down
nu us. The colonel led the retreat, the
lieutenant colonel following In closo
order. Of the Held officers the major
alone was at the front. Hut he was
not the officer we hail known. lie
was transfigured. He sat erect on his
horse. Ills eye lighted with the tire of
Imttle. and his orders rang out lu u
clear, ringing tone. It seemed that he
had returned to the being lie had been
before some great sin or some great
grief had blighted lilni.
Ik- found ilir uit'ii in confusion, sonio
thing. sonic gathering their weapons
nnil nccoulcrmentf, some making an
elTtirt at fonnntion. The moment he
appeared, out tif the struggling mass
a line developed, and those running to
the rear came back and re-enforced it.
Seizing a standard lie called upon us
to follow and, charging, saved the day.
Afler it ivas over ail reverted to its
former siatus. The colonel ami lieu
tenant colonel rcsunn#! command, and
the major got drunk. I!ut the charges
worn quietly withdrawn. Though tho
major greatly lowered the moral and
social tone of the re.'iment, he must
lie endured. Everybody felt that way
?tiie Held oflieers because lie could
lead the men In battle and they could
not. the line ollicivs and the men be
cause they must have some one to lead
them when there was lighting to do.
No one thought of advancing the major
to the position of t olonel. Such a colo
nel would ruin the regiment with tho
army. For a while we tried to treat
him with consideration, but he was bo
shabby, so unsoldlorly, in every way
so degraded, that we soon gave it up
and realized that <>ur handsome colo
nel was still our commander.
And so It coutinu 'd. When the colo
nel spoke to us. as he often did. in
a pleasing and dignified manner, call
ing us "my boys," we cheered, but the
lirst thing we knew we were following
the major over breastworks or stand
ing' in lint* with teeth set, taking pun
ishment. Every. time there was light
ing to lie (lone lie loomed up at tho
front, and when it was over he sank
back into his habitual stupor.
t'mler our colonel the regiment ac
quired an excellent reputation for dis
cipline and soldierly bearing. Under
tiie major's leadership in battle wo be
came known as one of the most gal
lant bodies in the army. Of course the
regiment must be honored in some
one's name, and it was impossible to
honor us through the major. There
fore tho colonel got no end of men
tion f< r gallautr.\ and eventually was
made a brigadier general. That let
the lieutenant colonel In for the bal
ance of the glory, all of which ema
nated from the major.
The major never made any com
plaint at the fact that all these honors
passnl over bis head, lie didn't seem
to care. Nor did any one in the regi
ment object. We ail felt that our
services should have recognition and
considered that honors conferred upon
him would lie 110 recognition ut all.
At the last tight the major fought
the army was held in cheek by a hill
on which the enemy bail planted artil
lery, ami everything v. as at a dead
lock. The general rode up to our reg
iment and asked for the colonel and
lieutenant colonel in quick succession.
Nobody could tell him where they
were, lie asked for the next in com
mand. Some one told liiin that Major
Iglchcart was asleep on a fence rail
near by. At that moment the major
appeared. The general looked at him
in despair. Nevertheless he gave him
an order to take the hill.
The way the major walked us up
that liill was a sight to behold. The
general beheld it frmu below and
when the hill was ours rode up and
asked for the major. Wo showed him
the otlicer lying on the ground with o
bullet hole in his forehead. The gen
eral turned away sadly with the re
mark, ''if ho had lived he should have
had a division."
We all knew more about that than
the general. The major in command
of a division! Absurd! Yet there was
something about the clay he had left
behind? bis former self? that made us
forget his second self and think of
him as a major general. With that
look on his face we buried him, fired
a volley over him and forgot him till
the next light, when, having uo ouo to
lead us. we covered ourselves with
disgrace and after several such epl
, r(!es were mustered out of the serv
j ice witli dishonor.
But to finish about the major. The
day after he was killed a letter came
for him addressed in a woman's hand.
Not knowing what to do with it, the
adjutant concluded to consider it a
dead letter, open it for the address of
| the sender and return It. It read:
My Darlim;? Today my sun. which sot
; when you left us. believing you a guilty
! man, has risen, though, oh, how sad!
Will ha3 confessed. You may now as
Bume your own !ndi\4duallty und como
baclc to us. Doubtless, coming as a sol
dier from the front, you will havo great
intluence In obtaining a pardon for him.
j Come to?mc, my love, aad torsive 1110 for
: believing you when you made that false
confession. In life and In eternity your
love, ALICE.
The letter went back to Alice en
dorsed, "Killed while glory dropped a
| wreath upon his brow." And that's
the last we ever heard of the case of
