The Favorite
jledicine for Throat and Lung Diffi
culties has long been, and still is, Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. It cures Croup,
Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, and
Asthma; soothes irritation of the
Larynx and Fauces ; strengthens the
Voc.il Organs; allays soreness of the
Lungs; prevents Consumption, and,
even in advanced stages of that disease,
relieves Coughing and induces Sleep.
There is no other preparation for dis
eases of the throat and lungs to be com
pared v ith this remedy.
"My wife had a distressing cough,
with pains in the side and breast. We
tried various medicines, but none did
her any good until I got a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which has cured
her. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the
measles, and the cough was relieved by
the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I
have no hesitation in recommending this
Cough Medicine
to every one afilicfed.'! Robert Horton,
Ifoieinan Headlight, Morrillton, Ark.
"I have been afflicted with asthma
lor forty j ears. Last spring I was taken
ith a violent cough, which threatened
to terminate my days. Every one pro
nounced mc in consumption. I deter
mined to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
Its effects were magical. I was immedi
ately relieved and continued to improve
until entirely recovered." Joel Bullard,
Guilford, Conn.
" Six months ago I had a severe hem
orrhage of the lungs, brought on by an
incessant cough which deprived me of
sleep and rest. I tried various reme
dies? but obtained no relief until I be
jjan to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me."
Mr. E. Coburn, 19 Second St., Lowell,
Mass.
"For children aiP.ictod with colda,
coughs, soie llnoaf, or cioup, I do not
know of any remedy which will givo
more speedy lellef limn Ayei's Cherry
Pectoral. I hu e found it, also, invalu

'This is a great country for
schemes," remarked Superintendent
Horner of the Northern Pacific yes
terday with a humorous twinkle of
tho eye that indicated another of those
wonderful projects for which this
gentleman is becoming famous. "You
know," he continued, "that seals can
be trained to perform almost any
thing required of them. Sea gulls
also are susceptible of domestication
and training, and in some places they
are taught to fish for their owners.
The modus operandi is to tie a
string around the pouch undef here
(indicating the throat) and then when
they catch a fish and return to their
masters it is easily squeezed
out. In this way fish weigh
ing ten or " twelve pounds are
are obtained. Now if seals and gulls
can be trained and made useful, why
cannot other sea animals as well. "Ton
know that when the salmon begin
running here in the fall the water is
full of them and you can see a hun
dred of them jumping from the water
almost any time. The fishermen get
all they can with their nets and abun
dred boats can be seen on the water
fishing for them "at the same time.
They are valuable. Now when the
salmon come in tho whales always
follow them into the Sonad for tbey
live on these fish. The scheme I was
thinking of is this and I think it is
practicable, too. .Besides it wouldjrc
quire scarcely any capital. "Why not
catch the whales, tame them and
teach them to fish, doing
with the salmon the way
the ancient mammal did with Jonah.
Just get a dumping ground out here
on some of these mud fiats and have
them spew up the salmon; then haul
them away to market. The Northern
Pacific would build a side track to
encourage such an industry, and the
salmon could be shipped away by the
c lrload for the eastern market. T e
facilities for shipping frozen fish are
excellent, and if they wero piled up
in cattle cars and sent east in winter
it would cost nothing for ice. But let
me see; they don't run iu the winter,
do they? Well, we could fix that all
right, as it is very easy to obtain arti
ficial ice in this country. Tacoma

Dyspepsia is killing more people than
rum, ten times over. When a man h:i
dy.spcs'a his stomach is always with
him and he is always conscious of it.
He can't sleep, his food doesn't taste
right, he's morbid. Your stonnch
ought to be your best fricn-'. and it will
be if after eating you will taie a little
Simmons Liver .Regulator, to "assist di
gestion and allay all irritation.
"After eating a heaity supper, if I
take about a teaspoontul or Simmons
Liver Regulator, I never feel the effects
of the supper eaten.' Ovid G. Sparks,
ex-Mayor of Macon, G.i.

It is surprising that people will use a
common, ordinary pill when they pan
secure a valuable English one for the
same money. Qr. Acker's English pills
are a positive cure for sick-headache
and all liver troubles. They are small,
sweet, easily taken, and do not gripe.

thirty five miles from here on the

published our notices and began by

after he located us. DePuter was ar

that it was just possible that w had

employed two surveyors to go out and
report upon the land. They found
section 18 to be a burnt piece of land,
fully three miles from the piece we
