ORDER FOR A
STAMPS.
MILLION
Chicago can lay claim to being
the largest mail-order center in
the world, and can back this up
by producing the records of the
local postoffice, for March 21st,
upon which day a sale of one
million two-cent stamps was ex-
tended to a single mdividacl. A
check for $20,000, handed through
the grating of a postoffiae win-
dow, is a rarity even where large
amounts are daily paid to secure
the little red stickers, that will
carry an appeal for business,
wherever the mails reach. The
sale above referred to smashes all
records.

aids or advises such a crime liable
to twenty years' imprisonment
and it provides a penalty of ten
years' imprisonment for any per
son who, by spoken, written, or
printed words, threatens or ad-

crime. It also makes any person
who aids the escape of one who is
guilty of any of the offenses men-

the same penalty as the principal.

A NEW STAflP.
To send a registered letter
abroad has always required two
stamps, an eight and a five. The
department has now authorized
the issue of a 13-eent stamp,
which will cover the mailing and
registration fees. The new stamp
will show ex-President Harrison
seated at his desk in the executive
mansion.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases-
put together, and until the last few
J ears was supposed to be incurable-
or a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-,
stantly failing to cure with local treat-
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci-
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti •
tutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca-
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is tbe
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonfnl. It acts direct-
ly on the blood and mucous surface of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.
