There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven cattarrh to be a constitutional treatment disease and there fore requires constitutional" treatment. Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Otiio, is the only constitional cure on the market. It Is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaapoonful, It acts directly on the blood and mucous surface of th? system. They offer ODe hundre I dollars for any cas it fails to cure.

THE DESTRUCTIVE TEREDO.
Piling
oa
Wli&i'vesi uiid Railroad Trestles Buiuvii by It.
The teredo is the most destructive sparine animal we have. It enters the submerged part of the piling of wharves or railroad trestles and bores into the interior. When it penetrates the surface of the wood it is about the size of a pin, but increases in size, always lengthening, but never leaving any part of the hole it boies until its full mission is accomplished. In this way it stretches from the original pin hole entrance far into the interior of the wood and swells in sr-:e to tlio diameter of a large lead pencil. At the big end are the cutters, tvvo clam shells that rotate from side to side and cut a smooth, round hole. The worm sometimes attains the length of ten inches.
Hundreds of such worms attack the exposed wood at the same time, and in a short time honeycomb it. However numerous they are, they never interfere with 0110 another, and no instance is found where one borer has cut into or crossed the boring of his neighbor, though the partitions left between the borings are sometimes no thicker than a sheet of paper. Another peculiarity is that as the places of entrance are no larger than pin heads and the wormB remain and do their growing inside, the wood may be almost entirely consumed inside, yet the surface appears sound and unaffected. Suddenly, without the slightest warning, the wooden pile gives way and its fellows follow in short order, and the wharf which appeared substantial is wholly ruined.
To combat the teredo many expedients have been resorted to. One is to sheathe the piling in copper. Another is to cover the surface of the wood with broad headed tacks—the rust from which spreads so as to discourage the teredo's operations. Still' another method is to boil the wood in creosote under heavy steam pressure, so that the creosote saturates the fibers of the wood.
All these mothods are efficacious, and the creosote process is used with perfect success in wharf and trestle building all along the gulf coast. Its cost is the chief drawback, a single stick of oreosote timber costing sometimes as much as $o0 —Mobile Register.
Some Opinions on Dress.
A Paris morning paper has elicited from a number of "emancipated" ladies their opinion on the question, "Which, the skirt or the knickerbockers, is the best garment, from the triple standpoint of beauty, health and propriety?" Among the ladies interrogated who have sent replies are Mesdames Sarah Bernhardt, Brandes and Eugenie Buffet. Mme. Bernhardt does not trouble to go into the sesthetio consideration. She confines herself entirely to the moral and thinks that it is best for her sex to be kept sedentary. The cycle, Mme. Bernhardt fears, is going to make more sweeping changes than any one dreams

SEVERAL" LIVES Rli'POTlTEb LOST.
Already Twelve Ihousami Acres Have Keen Burned Over aud No Prospects of Checking the If lames—Sorious Accident at a Ra'lrestd Crossing—Feud Between
CROWN PCIIJT, Ind., Oct. 29.—Should no rain fall in the next 24 hours and the high winds continue the southern portion of Porter county and part of Jasper, consisting of nearly 50,000 acres, will be a heap of ashes. Near Koutz three lives arc reported lost, and one man, Jonah Hole, was fatally burned. The names of the dead are unknown. Already 12,000 acres have been burned over and the fire is spreading rapidly.
People living at Baum's bridge, four miles from the flames, are preparing to move. Thousands of tons of hay were consumed last night and this morning, and $150,000 worth of fatted cattle owned by Nelson Morris of Chicago are in great danger. The herd of 2,700 is now being driven south. Bridges over the river near Sandy Hook were burned like paper. No estimate of the damage can be made, but it will reach easily |50,000 to $75,000, if not much more.
Five miles east of Koutz another fire is raging, but not of so much importance. Farmers for 10 miles around are forming parties to protect their homes. The fire was started by sparks from an engine.
STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
One 3Ian 1'atally Hurt and Auother Seriously Injured. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct. 29.—One

Hurt at a Fire.

Deadly Feud Hel.ween ltrotiiers. PORTLAND, Ind., Oct. 29.—A long
standing feud between Ben and Dan Thorp resulted in the former shooting Daniel with a shotgun, inflicting serious injuries. Ben fled to escape the officers, and in getting over a fence injured himself so badly that he can not be brought to jail. They are brother.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY LINE.
Congress Must Act at Once to Protect Our Rights. NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—A special to
The World from Washington says: The Alaskan boundary line question will be forced to a speedy termination by the action of Canada, if not by some diplo matio move on the part of Secretary of State Olney. It is announced that the Dominion government intends to direct the mounted police to assume control of the whole frontier along the Canadian boundary of Alaska, with power to collect customs duties and to hold courtmartials to try criminal cases.
The American and Canadian boundary lines are in conflict as to 7.3 miles of territory along the Yukon river on the east and west line. The disputed territory embraces the mouth of Forty Mile creek, to which access is had to the valuable placer mines at the head of that stream. The Canadian police, in carrying out their instructions, will doubtless assume jurisdiction up to the lines of the Canadian'Survey,' and several thousand American miners who will be in that region shortly will he subject to their auth(Tn^.
Se- Olney, it is thought, in view of the i- a. or less serious character of the situation, will make some effort to bring' up the dispute at the Behring sea convention next week.
In case of trouble along the frontier in the Yukon mining region the United States district attorney at Sitka has the authority to employ deputy marshals to preserve law and order, but it would take several months for the news of the disturbance to reach him at Sitka and. for his orders to be carried into effect. Officials of the department of justice say that he would not have the power to place men along the line for police duty or for any other purpose except on special occasions, such as a riot. If this be the case prompt action by congress this winter will be necessary to remedy the difficulties, and it is understood that a bill will be introduced to provide Alaska with a more perfect form of government.
