There is more Catarrh in this sec
Hon of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until tho
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
stantlv 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. .1.
Cheuey & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a toaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and inucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
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 are 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. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap
proach of dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per
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- 1
vere pains across my back and loins. ;
at times so severe that I 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 ]
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
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

AIM CITIZENS TIE
UP CANADIAN HOMESTEAD
: I
! OTTAWA.? This year 70,000 Amcr
' lean c'tizcns, all of whom constitute
:i most desirable class of immigrants
will cross the Ifordcr into Car.ada, ie
come ISrltish subjetcs, and reap their
sh .re of the golden harvest of the
meat Canadian west.. This will be
an inoreasoof from ."0 to CO per cent,
over the number of Americau settlers
?Alio settled in Western Canada last
>'( ar.
Such was the substance of the re
marks of Mr. W. J. White, inspector
of Canadian immigration agencies in
the United States, who has just re
'urned from an extended trip through
I the central and western states In Ills
j t fficial capacity.
"These are a splendid class of peo-j
pie," continued Mr. White. "Prac
tically all of them are taking with
them Into our domain as much as!
$2;'i,000 or $30, < 000. Many of thciuj
Lave sold their farms in the states |
for from $G0 to $100 an acre, and
when they come across to Canada'
they are going to bring with them
their sons, to establish them on
cheaper and better farms in this
country.
"What has assisted the movement
this year has been the opening of the
pre-emption areas, making it possible
for a settler to acquire 320 acres. In
stead" of 160 as formerly".
PEOPLE OF MARS FIGHTING
FOR THEIR VERY EXISTENCE
LONDON', England.? That which
hut a short time ago seemed to take
its rank with the fairy stories in
tlie Fables is fast becoming an es
tablished fact, and the existence of
the people of Mars is discussed as
seriously as any other scientific phen
omenon which is in progress of proof.
A storm of incredulity was raised
when Schiaparelli first discovered
the marks on Mars which he attribut
et to the work and agency of living
beings. The usual sneering remarks
' were called forth, bur. the unerring
' ye of the camera has proved beyond
a doubt that those marks exist.
The romance of Mars, however con
; sists on the fact that if life exists
there it is a life which is fighting a
death struggle with nature. Mars
is a planet on which water is becom
ing scarcer ami scarcer.
All planets, we are told, as they
advance in age, are doomed to lose
their water, and when the planet has
become arid and dry and life ceases
to exist, it roils a dead weight
through space.
Mars is much smaller than the
earth, and consequently the process
'ii drying has gone on quicker. .More
over. it is probably much older in its
evolution. ?
Professor Lowell .suggests, in liisj
extremely interesting article, that
"the Martian canals are the hopeless
struggle of a people to convoy water
from their poles that only a race of
Kieat intellect, developing with the
menace of nature to its existence,
could have surmounted the growing
difficulties, but the struggle environ
ment." he says, "must be drawing
to near the limit in Mars and the last
resources of ingenuity have been in
voked in the struggle with the inex
orable conditions of the universe."
A nearer interest perhaps attaches!
in tin1 fact that that the history we
see carried out in Mars will eventual
!y be the history of our own world.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., April 12.?
.*ohn Joseph tlriffin, known here as
I
' The Man Without a Country," who
1 attempted to escape from the hold
of the liner Mariposa, where he was
held a prisoner, was on Saturday
granted permission by Superior Judge
Conley to go to Alaska.
For five years llriffiu has been buf
fetid about the world, denied landing
?it every port at which he called. Ilis
^ troubles began when he was sentenc
?d in this city by Judge Cook to five
years' imprisonment for burglary. In
I view of the fact that this was his
first offence, the sentence was sus
pended on the condition that he quit
the country, lie was denied haven
at Tahiti, and at every other port
v.here the vessel which carried him,
touched.
Arriving here on the liner Mariposa
on Wednesday and learning that of
ficers were in waiting for liini, lie.
wrote a note stating that he had com
mitted suicide and hid himself in tin
hold of the vessel awaiting an oppor
tunity to escape. He was brought |
before Judge Conley on Saturday and
told his story. When he appeared
in court Judge Cook who sentenced
him five years ago and United States
r-rison Commissioner Montgomery in
terceded for him, and he was granted
permission to ?o to Alaska, where his
two friends have found him employ
ment.
m PIRATES SLAY BAILORS
MINDANAO, P. I., April 1 ? Captain
Charles Pfort, of the steamship Uor
neo, brought the news from Jolo that
[ the pearling fleet of four boats be
longing to 1$. Heaton-EUls had been
attacked by Moro pirates while at
auchor near the town of Parang.
The Moros surrounded the pearlers
and began the attack at long range,
i To this fire the crew of the pearlers
responded, but having limited arms
j and little ammunition, the defense did
not amount to much. Two of the
marling luggers immediately got up:
j sail and were able to escape.
i As the steamship .Borneo was leav
j ing Jolo a pearler was being towed in
| by a launch, but being pressed for
time, Captain Pfort could not await
I to hear the details of the affair. How
j i ver, tho report that he brought is
tha* four or five men were killed and
several wounded, and one of the boat
was scuttled and sunk by the pirates.
It is thought that the attack was
organized and directed by Jikiri, the
famous outlaw.

Scenery In Ireland.
The one thln^ that strikes the trav
eler about Irish scenery is the gray
tones of its coloring. The rocks, the
hills, the houses, the soil, the sky, are
all painted In gray, and it assuredly
looks Its best not In the full glare of
sunlight.
Big Brained.
The only two animals whose brains
