Catarrh in its various forms is a na- tional disease, and the fact that mearly cverybody suffers from it more or less leads many to neglect its proper treat- ment. Nasal catarrh is a common cause of headaches, destroys sense of smell and if neglected reaches the throat, causing fm- pairment and sometimes total voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily to consumption. Catarrh of stomach a: liver arc bles, while it is now generally admitted that catarrh is the most common of all causes of deafness. All of the more serious forms of ca- tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge, stoppage of nostrils, irritation and fre- quent clearing of the throat, sneezing, coughing and gagging. The old style of treatmenf with douches, inhalers, sprays, saives, etc., simply give temporary relief, and every one who has used any of them knows how useless they and their inconvenience is such that very few have the time or patience to continue their use. A radical cure of catarrh can only be chbtained from a treatment which re- moves the catarrbal taint from the blood, because no one will now dispute that ca- tarrb is a const and Jocal applicati except to temporari toms. new remedy which has been remark- sbly successful in curing catarrh is a pieasant tasting tablet, which is taken internaily and acts upon the blood and mucous membranes. It is composed of antiseptic remedies like Red Gum, Blood Root and similar cleansing specifics, which eliminate the catarrhal poison from the system. The tablets being pleasant to the taste are dissolved in the mouth and thus reach the throat, trachea and finally the stomach 2znd entire wlimentary canal, They . are sold by druggists: everywhere under the name of Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- lets, ; If desired, when there is much stoppage of the nose, the tablets may be dissolved in warm water and used as a douche in addition to internal use, but a douche is not at all necessary. A few dissolved in the mouth daily will be suffielent. Dr. Ainslee says: “The regular dafly use of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets taken internal- Iy will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without 'resorting to the‘inconvenience of % douche or an inhaler.” They seem to give.a healthy tone to the whole mucous membrane, and it is really remarkable how soon they wiil clear the head and throat of the unnat- aral and poisonous catarrhal secretion. Stuert’s Catarrh Tablets is undoubtedly the safest, most palatable and certainly fi, most efficient and convenient remedy any form of catarrh.

A resolution introduced | by Bishop Warren and adopted by a ris- | ing vote, asks the church throughout the | country to swell the fund to at least half | a million dollars before the convention at Albany next month.

Steves, | chairman of the County Committee, who livered a short introductory. speech, in which he extolled Dr. Pardee and proph- esied his election. Cheers grected Pardee as he stepped torward to speak. The enthusiasm last- ed three minutes. When quiet was ob- | tained Pardee told his listeners why it behooved the voters of this county to stand by the Republican ticket. He dwelt at length on what the party had done in the past and contrasted its rec- | ord of prosperity with the Democratic | desolation of six years ago. The doctor | took his audience into his confidence and ' assured those present that hé would be clected Governor of the State and when he took hold of the important office he would give them the best administration that was in his power. He said he might | make mistakes, but they would be mis: kes of the heart and not of the head. ‘Our Democratic friends say there is o politics in this election,” he said, “but there is politics in it and politics' of the kind that touches your purse and your welfare. You remember how the Demo- crats ridiculed the immortal McKinley before his last election. Do you remember those vile cartoons that dwarfed that no- ble man and placed him behind Senator | Hanna, whose clothes bore the dollar | mark sign? They cried that if McKinley were elected the country would go to| rack and ruin;’ and yet there is not a Democerat within ‘sound of my voice wha | | does not rise up in secret and thank God | that McKinley was elected.” (Applause.) During his speech Pardee was interrupt- ! ed ' by - cheering cries. ' One - enthuslast | velled, “They can't beat you,” -and an- cther arose and sald he had wagered | $100.on Pardee to win in Novembér. When | Fardee concluded the audience arose and cheered. incessantly. Senator John F. Davis followed and Gelivered a splendid ‘speech for Pardee and the ticket. He discussed national |issues and was frequently applauded. After the big ‘meeting Pardee and his party were guests of homor at a special luncheon prepared by the fair residents of this city. jeiiaiap |PARDEE CERTAIN OF VICTORY.

Smoker in Rooms of Thirty-Fourth Dis- trict Club. HE Eugene F. Loud Club of the Thirty-fourth District held a rally and smoker last night in the club’s hall at 2649 Market street. The ut- most enthusiasm was displayed. The hall was filled to overflowing. .- Attorney Wil- liam H..ScHooler and W. J. Guilfoyle, who represented the Thirty-fourth Dis- trict in the Assembly, delivered the prin- cipal addresses of the evening. Besides indorsing the acts of Congressman Loud and commending him to the people for their suffrage, the club unanimously passed a resolution indorsing the can- didacy of George C. Pardee and the entire Republican ticket. The club is composed of energetic Re- publicans and they are making a deter- mined fight to have Eugene F. Loud re- turned to Congress as the representative of the Fifth Congressional District. It was voted last night to have 5000 copies of the resolution -indorsing Loud printed | and distributed throughout thescity. This resolution reads in part as follows: 1f the voters of the Fifth Congressional Dis- trict will consider for one moment the issues involved ir the clection of a Congressman from this district they will certainly se: the ad- vantage to be gained by the people of this dictrict and also of the State in the election of a man who has been very <uccessful in ob- taining appropriations that have benefited the whole The Hon, Eugene F. Loud has already ob- tained the fellowing appropriations: Two mil- lion five hundred thousand dollars for our new postoffice building, r _removing ob- structions in the harbor, $16,800 for Alviso harbor, $8600 for the Redwood City harbor and- §100,000 for: the custom-house at this port. He was also instrumental in securing for the in- dustries of this city the manufacture of 250,000 pairs of shoes, for use in the Philippines. These shoes were manufactured by union labor. How long will it be before his opponent can obtain a solitary appropriation? It is admitted by every one who has con- sidered the matter that a newly elected mem- ber of Congress, however capable he may be, is unable to accomplish much during his first term for the State he represents either in the way of appropriation or legislation. Regarding the fight which is being made against Representative Loud because of his stand on the qusgstion of the salary of the letter-carriers the resolution has this to say: As stated by Mr. Loud In his public speeches he desires falr play for all postaP employes and not to have one class favored at the ex- pense of the others, The resolution in conclusion points out that if we want the favor of the admin- istration and desire to show our appre- clation of what has been done for us by the Republican party, we should return Eugene F. Loud to Congress. ‘William Schooler and W. J. Guilfoyle told about the achievements of the Repub- lican party and advised the members of the Loud Ciub to -vote thé entire ticket. Schooler declared that if California went Democratic at the coming election on the day following the clection the news would be flashed back to Washington and to the leaders of the party that this State is dissatisfied with the policy pursued by the Republican party and dissatisfied with the policy started by Willlam McKinley, our martyred President, and continued so successfully by Theodore Roosevelt. The officers of the club are: H. P. Coles, president; A. J. Bolfing, secre- tary; Frank Ryan, first vice president; Francis J. Barry, second vice president; Dr, J.

ANTA CLARA, Oct. 24.—Judson Brusie of Sacramento spoke this evening in Widney Hall to the largest audience that has assem- ‘bled here during the campaign. Brusie said that the commercial interests of the Paclfic Coast, and especially of Cal- ifornia, demanded that there should be a Republican administration of state affairs and that Republicans should be elected to the State Legislature. He was listened to with close and respectful attention. H. C. Jones, a young man who is at- tending Stanford University and who has Leen ‘“discovered” duryng this campaign as a political speaker of unusual ability, preceded Brusie, giving convincing utter- ance to the principles of Republicanism and counseling every young man to ally himself with the Republican party in this State campaign and to vote for Pardee and the rest of the State ticket.

Littlefield devoted the most of his time to the questions affect- “ ing the Congressional contests, and ex- | plained why the State of California, and particylarly ‘the Eighth District, should send to Washington a vepresentative of | their own interests In the person of Cap- | tain M. J. Daniels of Riverside. The | speaker called attention to the fact that | Democratic Candidate Smythe seemed to be on both sides of the tariff question, in that he was the author, or one of thc | authors, of the platform which was adopted at Sacramento, which declared that the necessaries of life should be placed on the free list and almost in the same plank had announced that the Re- publicans should be denounced for- at- tempting to take 20 per cent off the tarift on sugar from Cuba by means of reci- procity. And in the same platform the | promise was made that the Democracy | would take 100 per cent off all sugar, | for certainly sugar was a necessity of ife. There were frequent bursts of applause during the speech. After the meeting Littlefield was enter- tained at a banquet by fifty of the lead- ing Republicans of the city. When the banquet had ended most of those who took part in it joined the company of Republicans who constituted the recep- tion committee to bid “Teddy's Terrors™ weicome on their arrival late to-night. The visiting noisemakers were permitted to believe that they were entering a sleep- | ing city. Twe blocks from the station, however, they were made aware of the fact that there were other revolvers and blank cartridges in the county than those which'they brought.

Bryant was chairman of the meeting. Ex-Judge George W. Lewis was the first speaker. He said that while there were gocd men among the candidates of the opposition the question was whether or not the party that had sustained the honor of the : country and secured its prosperity should be continued in power. He argued that the people of the Pacific Coast should stand for a protective tariff for the same reason that they stand for Chinese exclusion—to. protect labor against Chinese competition. : i _John H. Roberts paid a high compli- | ment to George C. Pardee, recalling the récord he made as Mayor of Oakland and the high esteem in which he is heid throughout Alameda County, among his neighbors.

The spenkzrsi will be Samuel M. Shortridge and Joseph | | C. Campbell, the eloquent San Francis- | cans. With two such orators to attract | them it is expected that the voters of Sacramento will turn out in larger num- | bers than on any previous occasion since party champions first began appealing to | voters for support for thé State tickets of 1902. Messrs. Campbell and Shortridge will be met at the railroad station by several | marching clubs and a band or two and escorted to the old pavilion, where the ! rally will be held. Should the weather be propitious their escort will be a large ! one. The pavilion has been nicely deco- rated and every available foot of space will be utilized to accommodate the throng that is likely to crowd its doors. Local Republican managers expect much good to result from the visit of the fomed San Francisco speakers. — NO LIQUOR ON ELECTION DAY. Resolution of Police Commissioners Will Be Enforced.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24—Rain fell al- most steadily from 11 o’clock last night until sunrise, the total precipitation being .39 of an inch. The clouds then disap- peared and the day was as clear as any summer day. The storm did not extend far south of this city. Omly portlons of Orange County were visited. Toward San Bernardino the rainfall in the mountains was very heavy, some of the mountain re- sorts reporting as much as two inches. In the valleys east of Los Angeles there was but little rainfall. SAN DIEGO, Oct. #4.—Rain fell at an early hour this morning and continued until nearly noon. ' The fall in the city was only .06 of an inch. In the country it was slightly heavier, a tenth of an inch being recorded in some of the valleys. Raisin growers have a great many raisins on the trays yet and more rain will do great damage, though If the sun comes out to- morrow the damage will be nominal. Cit- rus fruit men say that.the rain has done them a great deal of good and no down- pour short of a flood could hurt them at this time. PASADENA, Oct. 24.—More than a half- inch of rain fell here last night and to- day. SANTA ROSA, Oct. 24.—The storm con- tinues, heavy rain having fallen almost all day. It means thousands of dollars damage to grape men, who probably will consider themselves Ilucky now if the rains ceéase in time to allow them to handle and dispose of their cm to brandy makers at even nominal ires. The present storm is the heaviest ever known here at this time of the year. The total precipitation thus far is 3.29 inches. VALLEJO, Oct. 24.—Considerably more than an inch of rain has fallen here dur- ing the past two days, which will enable farmers to begin plowing as soon as the weather settles. The rain has caused but slight damage hefeabouts. MARYSVILLE, Oct. 24—This was the third day of the storm and the total pre- cipitation to 6 o'clock this evening was 2.20 inches. Later reports show that more injury was done than was at first thought. Beans and buckwheat have suf- fered and unless the rain is succeeded promptly by dry weather the damage will be heavy. NAPA, Oct. 24—The rainfall amounted 0 2.73 inches for the six hours ending at 3 o’clock this afternoon. SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 24.—Santa Cruz was visited by a heavy rainstorm early this morning. About an inch of rain fell dur- ing the night and showers continued to- day. McKinlay Addresses Lodi Voters. LODI, Oct. 24—An enthusiastic audience listened to an address this evening by Hon.
