NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows
That Salves, Lotions, Washes,
Sprays and Douches Do
Not Cure.
Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and in
halers cannot really cure Catarrh, be
cause this disease is a blood disease, and
local applications, if they accomplish
anything at all, simply give transient re
lief. Thecatarrhal poison is in the Wood and
the mucous membrane of the no.e,
throat and trachea tries to relieve- the
system by secreting large quantities of
mucous, the discharge sometimes closing
up the r.cstr.is. dropping into the throat,
causing d-afness by closing the Eu
stachian tubeg, and after a time caus
ing catarrh of stomach, or serious throat
and lung troubles.
A remedy ta really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will cieanse
the bio hI from catarrhal poison and re
move the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane.
The best and most modem remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scien
tifically known as Euealytol. Guaiacoi.
t-anguinaria and Hydrastis, and while
each of these have b n successfully
used separately, yet it has been difficult
to get them ail combined in one pal
atable, convenient and efficient form.
The manufacturers of the new catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have
succeeded admirably in accomplishing
this result. They are large, pleasant
tasting leaecges, to be dissolved in the
mouth, thus reaching every part of the
mucous membrane of the throat and
finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no co
caine, opiate or any injurious drug
whatever and are equallv beneficial for
little children and adults.
Mr. C. P.. Rembrandt, of Rochester.
N. X., says: "T know of few people who
have suffered as much as I from
Catarrh of the head, throat and stom
ach. I used tprays. inhalers and powd
ers for months at a time with oiiiv
slight relief and had no hope of cure. "l
had not the means to make a change
of climate, which seemed my only
chance of cure.
Last spring I read an account of some
remarkable cures tr.a by Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and promptly bought a
fifty cent box from my ir.is.sn.t and ob
tained s'-fh positive benefit from that
one package that I continued to use
them daily uctii now I consider myself
entirely free from the disgusting annoy
ance cf catarrh; my head is clear, my d'i
gestorj ail I could ask and my hearing
which had begun to fail as a result r.f
the catarrh, has greatly improved until
I feel I can hear as well as ever. They
are a household necessity In my familv.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at SO cents for complete treat- f.
merit and for convenience, safety and
rrn:pt results they are undoubtedly the
looked tor catarrh cures, t

TO SUMMON PARLIAMENT.
The Queen Advised to Call Lawmak
ers Together in December.
New Tork. Nov. 13. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Lord Salisbury has advised the queen,
to take the. unusual step of summoning
parliament to meet in the last month
of the year. The announcement, how
ever, occasions little surprise, as.it has
been generally understood that owing to
the prolongation of hostilities in South
Africa the government would be badly
in want of money before the usual date,
early in February, -when the country had
been led to believe the new parliament
would be called together. The chan
cellor of the exchequer's initial estimate
of 10,000,X0, framed a yer ago, has
already been many times exceeded. His
latest estimate, prepared in the course
of last summer, amounted to about i),
.".;. 0. It v. as based, however, upon the
supposition that by September the re
sistance of the Boers would have been
completely crushed and the bulk of the
British troops enabled to return home.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's expectations
have not been fulfilled and it will be
found necessary to seek further supplies
from parliament next month. The most,
conservative estimate at which the ul
timate cost of the Boer war is now put
is the sum of 100,000.000.
Dr. Morrison's statement of the terms
which the powers have agreed to press
upon China as the basis of a preliminary
treaty are almost the same as those in
formally approved a month ago. Mr.
Conger's excellent proposal that China
should pledge herself to dismiss imme
diately officials within whose jurisdiction
outrages on foreigners should be com
mitted has. however, been accepted in
a modified shape. Germany will be
pleased to hear of the erection of the
monument to her murdered minister.
The transfers of cabinet officers were
registered at the council at Windsor
yesterday and the foreign office was
turned over to Lord Lansdawne.
More interesting incidents of the day
were the reception of General Buller by
the Duke of Connaught, Lord Wolseley
and other associates at military head
quarters and the departure of the Duke
of York's guard of honor for Australia.
General Builer was recognised by the
crowds in the streets and loudly cheered
as he drove with Lady Audrey to the
war office and his welcome Inside was.
most cordial. He was not received as
a conqueror, but as a sturdy soldier who
had done his best and had properly con
fessed that he had rightly lost the chief
command. The embarkation of the
picked force of guardsmen, militia and
volunteers for Australia excited great
enthusiasm. It was a fresh sign that
imperial interests now dominate the
English administration and that advan
tage will be taken of every opportunity
for tightening the bonds uniting the col
onies with the mother country.
The Society of American Women in
creased the strain of gaiety yesterday
bv holding its first luncheon for the sea
son at Princes. It was a brilliant and
enjoyable affair. Mrs. Griffin presided
with her usual grace, and among those
present were Mrs. George Alexander.
Mrs. George H. Bough too. Miss Lena
Ash well and Miss Ray Rockman.
The Terkes syndicate is now repre
sented in London by Mr. Davids, but
Mr. Loudenback is expected on Wednes
day, and important developments will
speedily follow in carrying out the
project for the construction of the new
-underground electric railway from Char
ing Cross to Hampstead.
Commissioner Richard Young, of New
Tork, who started last spring on a jour
ney around the world, has returned to
London with Mrs. Young, after a serious
ad-venrure. Ke was wrecked in the Sea
of Marmora after a long journey through
Russia, his ship being run down in col
lision and the passengers being taken
off by a Greek vessel. He continued his
journey through Palestine and Egypt
and is now homeward bound to New
York in excellent health.
O00D ENOUGH FOU THEM.
New York Presbytery Stands by
"Westminster Conf233ioru
New York. Nov. 13. With a majority
of one vote, and that the vote of the
moderator, the New York presbytery
decided that the Westminster confession
with its doctrine of predestination was
good enough to remain as the creed of
the Presbyterian church. The number
of votes cast was 142, of which 109 were
recorded as votes of clergymen and S3
as votes of elders of the church. The
action taken at the meeting was founded
on an "overture" which had been sent
out to all the presbyteries of this coun
try by the general assembly of the Pres
byterian church for the purpose of as
certaining the opinion of the various
bodies of the church on the question of
revising the creed.
When the vote had been counted it was
found that 71 favored revision and 71 op
posed it. The announcement that the
vote was a tie created a stir among those
rresent. The stated clerk. Dr. Birch,
drew the attention of the assembly to
the rule governing the presbytery which
provides mat in a case of a tie the mod
erator shall cast the deciding vote. Dr.
Wiley had already voted in his individ
ual capacity and his vote had been re
corded as against revision. The mod
erator then cast his vcte with the ayes,
u-e ai.ti-tt-vuioa.ists carrying the day.
OUTSIDER'S OBSERVATIONS
Thinks There Wsi Too Much Law
lessness Last Wight.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
I am a stranger in Topeka and the spec
tacle witnessed last night in your streets
caused me to wonder if I was reailv in
civilized. Christianized America. Tha
scene may have been duplicated in the
cities throughout the land, where so-called
ratification meetings were held, hence,
Topeka need not be singled but in this
instance.
If ratifying the election of the success
ful candidate to the dignified position of
president of the "t'nited States means li
cense for hoodlumism, the intent and pur
pose was fully carried out irt your city
last night. On one comer I witnessed a
dozen young men In a free-for-all slug
ging match, faces were bruised, hats
broken and passers by ruthlessly pushed
and -jammed. One young girl accompan
ied by her mother was grabbed about the
wrists by force and dragged across the
street, being unable to extricate herse'f.
Hundreds of similar cases eouid be men
tioned, still no officer of the law could be
seen who might, at leat. attempt to force
civilization where apparent insanity pre
vailed. At the hotel where I am stopping
groups of young men" wnuld frequently
find their way to the wash room and
there pass around bottles of whisky which
they carried in their pocket, and thus
regaled, would return to the streetn to
more emphasize rudeness in language and
actions, uncorked political enthusiasm.
I am not claiming that had the "ratify
ing" been for the successful candidate of
the Democratic party that a similar seene
would not have ensued.
Is it possible, in enlightened and prog
ressive America, that to express national
pride and enthusiasm, we must shame tha
brute in brutishness, and out-do the so
called heathen in heathenish conduct? Ia
it not a time right now to ponder on these
matters of vital Import concerning our
national conscience when we are assum
ing to show other per pies how to govern
thtmseh-ea? I doubt if a band of Filipino
would handle their own people as rudely
and offer tha insults that were frequent
on your streets last evening.
Another point is well to consider, that
of the erroneous expense of political cam
paigns in this country. There seems no
lack of funds for red fire. Are works,
bands of rnusfe, campaign uniforms, etc.,
etc., but doubtless manv a donor t these
funds would plead poverty if anoroached
to subser.be to a worthy charitv, or a
chureh fund. This taxing of office-holders
to support political campaigns has be
come a crime, and ia carried to the ex.
tent that it pauperizes those who hold
eff'ree, both in municipal and national gov
ernments. They are compelled to respond
to the call for financial r.e'p whether they
pay their coal and grocery biiis or not.
The eyes of ail nations are Used upon
America's progress: are looking to Amer
ica for light, recognizing our power and
influence; shall they be disappointe i in
looking to us for the highest civilization?

A HUGE SUM.
Chinese Indemnity Figured at $600,
000,000. New York, Nov. 13. A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Hay is much Irritated over
reports from Pekin showing that the
ministers are determined to punish every
influential Chinaman who they think is
responsible for the recent outrages and
showing aiso that the indemnity to be
demanded will reach $600,000,000. The
secretary is anxious that the powers
shall submit demands that can be ac
cepted by China.
Officials at Washington hold that ex
amples should be made only of those
conspicuously guilty and that the
amount of indemnity should certainly
be not more than $200,000,000. It is point
ed out that if all the leading men are
sentenced to death they will in self
defense organize a resistance, which will
necessitate further military operations,
the end of which no one can foresee.
The president and Secretary Hay are
anxiously awaiting the result of the de
liberations cf the ministers. It is plain
that the ministers are not pleased over
the developments of the last few days.
Lieutenant General Miles, acting se
retary of war. has been advised of the
departure for Manila of the last Ameri
can troops, which were under orders to
leave China. The force now under Gen
eral Chaffee consists o the Fourteenth
infantry, a sqaudron of the Sixth
cavalry, and battery F of the Fifth ar
tillery. The United States has thus withdrawn
its troops after the necessity for their
presence has passed. At the same time
the protection of American interests and
the American legation is assured by tht
maintenance of a guard of nineteen hun
dred men. Minister Wu is anxious that
this force shall be further reduced and
Secretary Hay has announced his will
ingness, provided other nations with
draw. STATE SECRETS LEAK.
Anxiety to Discover the Source Ex
hibited by Gen. Miles.
New York, Nov. 13. It is probable,
says a Herald dispatch from Washing
ton, that Lieutenant General Miles will
make an effort to discover the person
responsible for the publication of the
fact that the army has obtained posses
sion of the plans used in the construction
of the field gun of the French army.
Officers of the army are deeply inter
ested in the disclosure, and they ex
pect that the next meeting of the board
of ordnance and fortifications will be a
stormy one. Any inquiry will be of a
secret character.

MASKED BURGLAR.
Attempts to Rob the Wife of a
Chicago Millionaire.
Chicago, Nov, 13. A negro burglar
forced his way to the apartments of
Mrs, Orrin W. Potter, wife of the mil
lionaire steel man and banker, in her
home, 130 Lake Shore Drive, shortly af
ter 1 o'clock this morning and when
discovered in the act of applying a
sponge saturated with chloroform to the
nostrils of his victim, struck her a fierce
blow on the head with a slungshot. The
shock of the blow rendered Mrs. Potter
unconscious and the doctors who were
called fear that she may not recover.
Just before being struck Mrs. Potter
roused the household with a shrill cry
for help.
Mrs. Potter's daughters.Miss Margaret
and Miss Bessie, heard their mother's
screams for help and rushed to her bed
chamber. WThen they saw the robber
they fled into the street and called for
help.
The robber fied as soon as the young
women began screaming in the street.
After he had gone the daughters re
turned to the house, called a physician
for their mother and then notified the
police of what had happened.
This is the second burglary in the
Potter residence since last spring. In
April last porch climbers secured $18,000
in diamonds and jewelry.
This morning the intruder was fright
ened away before he had secured any
thing. How the robber secured an entrance
without awakening some member of the
household is a mystery to the police. It
is thought he knew the surroundings
and that he had been waiting an op
portunity to enter unnoticed. It is
thought by the police that he had an
accomplice who waited on the outside
in order to warn his companion of any
danger.
When the poliee arrived they found
Mrs. Potter still unconscious. Biood was
streaming from her head and by the
side of the bed was found a small bottle
on which was a label bearing the word
chloroform. The poliee believe that they
have an important clew in the label on
the bottle, as they hope to' get a definite
description of the man who purchased
the drus
Miss Potter was also overcome by the
shock she received when the robber
threatened her and through fear of her
mother's condition it was necessary to
give her medical attention.
Had not Mrs. Potter been awakened
by the robber it is thought that he
would have succeeded in securing many
thousands of dollars worth of jewelry.
Her room is away from those of the
other members of the family and it ia
thought he would have been able to work
unmolested.
Shortly after the doctor arrived Mrs.
Potter revived long enough to give a
description of her assailant but again
lost consciousness. She said she thought
the man was wearing a mask and that
he looked like a negro. He was about
30 years old and was well dressed.
Mr. Potter was asleep in an adjoining
room and he was not awakened until
the robber had commanded his daugh
ters to remain silent. He jumped from
his bed and reached the down stairs hall
just as the man jumped through the
door to the ground.
TO TRAIN IN CALIFORNIA.
Chicago National League Ball Club
Will Try Loe Angeles.
Chicago, Nov. 13. President James A.
Hart of the Chicago National League
Baseball club, has returned from his
three weeks' vacation trip through the
west and south with enthusiastic re
ports of the advantages to be found in
California for a spring training ground.
As a result of Mr. Hart's visit to the
coast the Orphans are quite likely to go
to California early next spring to con
dition themselves for the championship
race of 1301, although nothing definite
has yet been done in the matter beyond
looking over the ground.
Los Angeles Is the particular spot on
the map which Mr. Hart considers most
desirable and the people of that city are
anxious to have the team go there to
train. y.
The prospective trip to California car
ries with it a decided slash in the num
ber of men who will make up the Chi
cago team next year. Mr. Hart argues
that it would be folly to think of mak
ing such an extensive trip with the num
ber of men the team carried last year
and consequently the management will
take only the pick of the present staff.
President Hart said:
"I did not complete details of the trip,
but from present indications we un
doubtedly will select Los Angeles for our
training place next spring.
."The trip, will, of course, be very ex
pensive, but we can cut down expenses
considerably by playing exhibition
games on the coast with the local base
ball teams. There are a number of good
teams on the coast."

HIS LEG IS TOO SHORT.
Pennsylvania Man Asks Damages of
Doctor Because of It
Lancaster. Pa., Nov. 13 "My suit
may seem a little peculiar, but I am go
ing to fight it through." said Isaac F.
Mundurf, who wants $5.0)30 from Dr.
Herbert R. Bowers, because one leg is
half an inch shorter than it really ought
to be.
An electric light pole fell on Mundurf
in 1SD9 and broke his right leg. Dr.
Bowers, he says, did not set the leg
property, and he was forced to go to a J
hospital i
"When Dr. Bowers was through with j
my leg." Mundurf declares, "it was just i
one and three-quarter Inches shorter i
than the other. As a result of the sec-
ond operation I have gained an inch and !
a quarter, and cow I am only minus a !
half inch."

I'M C.i I :
How often these significant words are ppoken in our ere at
mills, shops, and factories by the poor girl who has worked
herself to the point where nature can endure no more and
demands a rest ! The poor sufferer, broken in health, isuit
stajad aside and make room for another.
The foreman eays, ' If you are not well enough to work
you must leave, for we must put some one in your place."
Standing; all day, week in and week out, or pitting ia
cramped positions, the poor girl ha3 slowly contracted pome
deranged condition of her organic systemwhich calls a halt
in her progress and demands restoration to health before ska
can be of use to herself or any one else.
To this class of women and girls Mrs. Finkharn proffers
both sympathy and aid. When these distressing weakness?
and derangements assail you, remember that there ia a
remedy for them all. We have on record thousands of such
cases that have been absolutely and permanently cured by
Lydia E. Pinkhaiu'a Vegetable Compound, restoring
to vigorous health and lives of usefulness those who Latru
been previously sorely distressed. Here is one of them.
