CHANGE OF CLIMATE. Not Necessary In Order to Cure Catarrh. The idea that the only cure Jor, chropic catarrh is a change of climate, is . mistake bedguse catarrh js found in all climates intall sections of the country; and even 'ii a change of climate should benefit for a time the catarrh will certainly return. Catarrh may be readily cured in any climate, but the only way to do it is to destroy or remove from the system the catarrhal germs which cause all the mischief. The treatment by inhalers, sprays, powders and washes has been proven almost useless in making a permanent cure, as they do not reach the seat of disease, which is in the blood and can be reached only by an internal remedy which acts through the stomach upon the blood: and system generally. A new discovery which is meeting with remarkable success in curing ca- tarrh of the head, throat and bronchi- al tubes and also catarrh of the sto. mach, is sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets which are pleasant and harmless to take owe their efficiency to the active, medicinal "principles of Blood Root, Red Gum and a new spe- cific called Guaiacol, which together with valuable antizeptics are combined in convenient, palatable tablet form, and as valuable for children as for adults. A. R. Fernbank of Columbus, Ohio. says ' | suffered so many winters from Catarrh that I took it as a matter of | course, and that nothing would cure it except a change oi climate, which my business alfiairs would not permit | me to take. My nostrils were almost always clogged up; I had to breathe through 'the mouth causing an inflamed; irri- tated throat. The thought of eating breakfast often nauseated me and the catarrh gradually getting into my stomach took away my appetite and digestion. My druggist advised me to try a fifty cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets, because he said he had so many customers who had been cured of Ca- tarrh by the use of these tablets, that he felt he could honestly recommend them. I took his advice and used sev- eral boxes with results that surprised and delighted me. I always keep a box of Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets in the house and the whole family use them freely on the first appearance of a cough or cold in the head. With our children' we nothing so safe and reliable = as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets to ward off croup and colds and with older people 1 have known of cases where the hear- ing had been seriously impaired bv chronic catarrh cured entirely by this new remedy.

He Swore That He Was Paid $2 For His Vote--Other Evidence and a Dismissal--F. W. Parkin- son Said His Vote Was Bought For $1. Rv the Whig's Reporter. Napanee, Nov. 27.---Wednesday after- noon's evidence on charge No. 26, al- leging that W. H. Perry had voted at sub-division No. 2 without first hav- ing taken the oath of qualification, in the Lennox election trial, was con- cluded. The poll book was produced, but did not show that Perry had taken an oath other than that of secrecy. J. C. Huffman, deputy-returning of- ficer, cross-examined by Mr. Cassells-- Administered all oaths considered ne- sary; tried to carry out the pro jons of the act; everything done that was thought necessary; had act ed as deputy returning officer before and was familiar with the work. Re-examined by Mr. Watsen--If Perry took the oath of qualification, it would be shown in the poll hook. W. S. Herrington acted as agent at polling sub-division No. 2 for M. S. Madole. Was in the booth when Perry voted: Perry did not take the oath of qualification. Cross-examined--Did not make a study of election act, and was un- aware that Perry should have taken oath of qualification. Might not have challenged Perry's vote had: he known he had not taken the oath. Frank Perry, pole clerk at sub-di vision No. 2. did not know of the oath of qualification. being administer ed to W. H. Perry. Cross-examined--There were not any oaths administered at booth No. 2 that day. » W. H. Perry--Considered that 1 had a right to vote; took all the oaths prescribed. Could not remember hav ing taken the oath of qualification. Mr. Watson submitted that the charge was proven, under clauses 168 and 176 of the election act, inasmuch as Perry had voted, knowing he had no right to vote. Therefore Perry's vote was nullified. Counsel quoted a precedent in which it was held that while such an act was not corrupt, the vote cast was illegal. Mr. Cassells pointed out that the seat was not claimed by the petition. er, and as counsel for the petitioner had admitted that the acts of those serutineers in voting were not corrupt, the charges against them should be dropped. " Mr. Watson wanted the court to consider the acts of these scratineers illegal, but the judges would not do so and dismissed the charge. At Mr. Watson's request, however, ney pro mised to weigh the evidence in con sidering other charges that might be brought up. No. 27. a charge similar to No. 26, was next taken up. Neil Matthewsgn, poll clerk at sub-division No. I; t&%ti- fied to Dr. A. M. Ruttan, an agent of Carscallen's, having voted at that sub-division on certificate. without first having. taken the oath of quali fication. Dr. Ruttan, Carscallen's agent at sub-division. No. 1, could not remem- ber whether or not he had taken more than one oath. Did not know of the necessity of taking oath of qualifica tion. . Took all the oaths prescribed. In summing up the evidence, Mr. Watson admitted that: his evidence was not. strong. At this point it was decided to <i low "charges 26 and 28, similar to No. 27, to rest on the evidence taken on No. 27. Charge No." 35 was next taken up. 1t alleged that George Lewis, Paul Peterson, John Carson, George Greer, for the respondent, had paid £2 cach to Mark Maracle and seven other voters. Said He Was Paiddf2. Mark Marvacle, testified to having had a conversation with John Carson in Wilson's hallway on the afternoon of election day. Carson wanted witness to go and vote and to eall at his shop the next: morning. Did 'as. directed and received $2 from Carson. Cross-examined--Made - affidavit of having received money' about nine days ago. Was employed as a sailor Gn the schooner Merritt. Went. to Mr. German's office with Capt. Baird and Thomas Wales, ana there made state- ment. Went there -- beeause Capt. Baird wanted him to leave on the Merritt at once. "The statement whica witness signed in Mr. German's office was producea, Its contents differed shghtly, but not materially, from the evidence given by avitness on the stand. John Carson, ex-mayor of Napanee, denied having had any conversation | with Maracle: may have asked him if | he had voted. Did not see Maracle the dav following the election. and did' not pay him 82. "It looks like o sworn, pat-up 10h." said the witness. Cross examined ---hd not suggest that Maracle should go ana vote. hd not pay out any money in behali of Carscallen. In closing the case, Mr. Watson maintained that evidence such as Waracle had given was more weighty than that of a man who had come forward and made 3 mere hare denial It was most unusual and unnatural HARD COAL The 01d Reliable SCRANTON, Ua- equalled for Heating and Cooking. $5.

X harge No. 43, alleging that Wilson bad paid FW Jame= wp | chickens, Pte le Parkinson 81 | 7 THE DAILY io vote for Carscallen, was next con- sidered. 3 F. W. Parkinson testified to haying met Wilson at the door leading to the conservative committee rooms, about four o'clock on election day. Witness was accompanied by Ezra Sanford. "Wilson called witness 'into the 'hall and asked him if he would vote for Carscallen if he was given $1. Wit ness promised to do so. Wilson got Baker's rig and drove witness to 'Fredericksburg, where he voted. On the road back Wilson gave witness $1. Cross-examined--Made statement of this occurrence in Mr. Herrington's office. Did not consider it dishonest to take money for his vote. Would nbt take a false oath for money. No- body heard conversation which took place between witness and Wilson. Had always been a liberal; gave first conservative vote for Carscallen. Was asked to go to Ruttan's office to make an aflidavit, but replied that he would not make an affidavit for 850. Re-examined--Witness stated that Micks, McColl and Greer haa taken him to Ruttan's office, where he was asked to give some information about the elections: Was asked there if he had received! pigs for his vote, but said he had bought three pigs for' $3. Was asked how much the grits paia him to give the conservatives such in- formation, and replied that he was not that kind of a man. Witness was closely cross-examined by Mr. Cassells, but his evidence was not shaken. He was longer on the stand than any other witness. Ezra Sandford, who accompanied Parkinson on election day, told of the meeting with James Wilson. at the conservative committee rooms. His evidence on this point was substanti ally the same as that given by Park- inson. He did not, however, hear of money being mentioned by either Wil- son or Parkinson. Denied Paying Money. James Wilson was called in rebuttal. --Had not recollection of meeting either Parkinson or Sandford on the street. Met them first in the commit tee rooms. Went out of rooms to see if they had voted. Was followed out by Parkinson, who asked for money for his vote. Parkinson said he would vote fof Carscallen anyway. Witness said he did not have any money to give away, and, further, that he was not buying votes. Parkinson's story is a fabrication; did not give Parkinson money or promise him any. Cross-examined--Had been for some time active in politics. Had no recol lection of having unlocked the com mittee room door to let Parkinson and San lford in. Had cigars in pocket and gave one each to Parkinson and Sandford. Mr. Wilson's testimony under cross examination, was a direct Henial of almost every point of the evidence of both Parkinson and Sandford. In re-examination, witness admitted having assisted in making up voters' lists into book form. Later, however. he corrected himseli and said the books he had made up were for his father's election in 1900. He was not a member of any of Mr. Carscallen's committees. The Court Adjourned. The hour being late, seven o'clock having passed, the court rose and leit the balance oi the evidence on the charge to be submitted Thursday morning. Agents of both parties were in the conrt room and at onee proeceded to pay customary fee to witnesses, a large sum being necessary to accomp: lish this. Fach witness wanted to get his money first, and a scene of jostl ing and crowding ensued, in which constables had to take a hand in an attempt to expedite. matters, and to arrange for the proper: observance of decorum and order. The trial is a veritable boom to the hotels. In some of them guests are sleeping two in a bed, and new arriv als are being turned away. «The Span Of Life" Saturday. The Toronto News says this play is resplendent in sensational scenes, the most realistic "of which is the bridge of human beings formed by the three famous - Donazettasy 'over. which the heroine passes in safety from the band of Arabs who are hot in pursuit. One feature of the piece not often intre duced in melodrama is that, the end of every act sees the heroine out of dan ger, which is a great relief to the nerves of many patrons of the house. The tumbling of the Donazettas dw ing the second act was very popular with the audience. Wallace Hopper and Miss Frankie Francis were good in the leading roles, while Preston Kendell as Dunstan Leach, the villain, was highly emotional, PRRE-------- " At The Police Court. The handing out 'of judgment at the police court this morning was swift and certain. Almost before the specta- tors had fyled into the room, the pris- oners were sentenced and hurried away. Magistrate Farrell's promptuess is very commendable. Charles Bogardis, charged with cre- ating a disturbance in the city build ings by fighting, pleaded guilty and was fined £5 and costs twenty days. Michael Devine, who has been in court before, many's a time, pleaded guilty to committing a nuisance - in the city buildings. He was fined 25 and 'costs or one month in jail.

The Toronto Bank League season will open on January 3rd, and the games will be played in three series, the winners of each division to play off for the championship.

Road travelling is rather hard on salesmen. Irregular hours, indifierent hotels and badly cpoked food play «mash with their digestion.

"For years | was trohbled with a bad stontach, which gave. me constant headaches and pains all throigh my body, caus ed by eafing improper food.

The executive committee of Ontario synod met on Thursday morning with a very full attendance, the clergy of the diocese being gathered in town for the two quiet days appointed by the bishop. . } The Mission board reported that Rural Dean Dibb had canvassed Cam- den East for augmentation of stipend and secured pledges of #15; the sti- pend should be at least $750. Rev. J. W. Jonés had canvassed Queensboro mission and secured an increase of $103 on stipend, but this gave a pros- pect of $430 only. The two clergymen were cordially thanked. The legacy of 18500 from the late George Dennison, 'for endowment of St. Peter's church, Harrowsmith, was reported. In view of the illness of Rev. W. Wright, «iw was voted for cle tance for ensuing six months. Woodcock, student, was voted the mission grant for Shannonville, $150, which was un- der regulation available only for men vin holy orders. There were so many parishes in default for Trinity mission offerings that it was resolved that un- [til the fault be remedied cheques be not issued to clergymen of these places. The amount on hand was re- ported to be $389, as compared with a deficit of $1,875, a year since. bishop expressed his need of eight clergymen, five for vacant parishes, two for division of Queenshoro and Bancroft and for a permanent station at Mallorytown. The comunitiee upon general - mis- sions reported that in consequence of the unification of all mission work of the Canadian Church, a call fell upon the Board 'of Missions for $50,000 for Canadian work, $20,000 for foreign work and $5,000 for expenses in addi- tion to the work of the woman's aux- iliary. A call had been made upon On- tario diocese for $4,000. Its due pro- portion was $4,950, but it has been contributing to this work only $1,- 600. The board felt that the svmpathy of but a comparative few were reach- ed, some of the parishes returning les than a dollar for one of the two vearly Sundav offerings of a congrega- tion. There are 8,944 communicants in the diocese and these are, by sugges- tion of the committee, asked for at least fifty cents each,--that is, twenty- five cents for each of the two canoni- cal collections, one for Canadian, one for foreign missions. The sum for cach parish was therefore presented with an earnest prayer that the first res- ponse to the greatly enlarged work of the church will attest the loyalty of its people. A resolution of cordial sympathy with Rural Dean Wright in his illness, and another of thanks to Chancellor Valkem, for care of securities, were passed. PERSONAL MENTION.

Another Wildcat Seen. A wildeat has recently been seen by several persons on the farms of Messrs. McAdoo and Burke, located seven or eight, miles north-east of the city, on the Perth road. The presence of the animal, haunting the bush there for eicht or ten days, has caused con siderable excitement. Efforts made to capture it have so far proved unsue cessful. A couple of weeks ago a large one was shot in Breden's bush, north of the penitentin rv farm, It is suppos- ed that these sanimals are chased out of their haunts in" the back woods by dogs who were taken there to track deer: The wildeats then become lost and wander right into the centres of civilization.
