AT FIRST GLANCE,
It Would Appear That Local Rem
edies Would Be Best for Cure of
Catarrh.
It would seem at fiist glunce that
catanh being a disease of the mu
cous nicmbnina; that salves, sptass,
etc., being applied directly to tho
membranes of tho nose and tin oat,
would bo the most rational treatment
but this has been pioven not to bo
true.
The mucous, mciubiano Is made and
tepalted from tho blood and catairh
Is a blood dleaso and any remedy to
niako u permanent cuio must act on
the blood, and when the blood Is purl
lleil from catanhal polron, the secre
tions f i oin the mucous membinne will
become natural and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of people
secni scntcely over fiee fiom Fonio
foim of catarrh; It gets bolter at times
but each winter becomes giadually
deeper seated and nft'r a time tho
sufleier resigns himself to It us a
nocossaiy evil.
Catairh cities aie aliniist as numer
ous as catarrh sttffcieis, but aie nearly
all so Inconvenient and Ineffective us
to render their use a nuisance neatly
as annovlng as catarrh Itself: anyone
who has used douches, sprays and
powders will bear witness to their In
convenience nnd fnlluic to really cuie.
Theie aie a number of excellent in
ternal lemcdies for eatanh, but prob
ably tho best and cettalnly the safest
l a new lemedy, composed of Kuoaly
ptol, Hydtastls, Sangulnailn ami other
valuable catairh speclilcs.
This remedy Is In tablet foim, pleas
ant to tho tasto and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuait's Catairh
Tablet, und anyone hiifferlng fiom
catanh may use these tablets with
absolute Hssuranro that they contain
no cocaine, opiate nor any pol-oiiou-
niinnt.it whatever.
A leading diugglst In Albany peaU
Ing of catanh cuies bays'. "I hav
sold various catanh cuics for yeais,
but have never sold any which gavo
such general satisfaction as Stuait'a
Catanh Tablets. They contain In a
pleasant, concentrated form all the
1" st ami latest catarrh remedies, nnd
catanh sufierers who have used
douches, sprays and salves, have been
astonished at the quick relief and per
manent results obtained after n week's
use of Stuart's Catanh Tablets." All
druggists sell full Mired p-ckages for
llfty cents.

SAY ROESLER'S
MIND WAS WEAK
TESTIMONY HEARD IN
WILL CONTEST.
THE
Many Witnesses, Including; Alder
man W. S. Millar, B. W. Lewis, Dr.
H. N. Bunnell, Fred Durr, Isadoio
Goodman nnd Othei s Testify That
the Dead Alderman's Mind Was
Weakening: During- Taat Tew
Years F. W. Zizelniann and W. A.
Tovvnscud, Witnesses to tho Will,
Say Signature Is Genuine.
Theie was a hearing before Deputy
Iteglster of Wills Koehlor yesterday lr.
the matter of the objections to the Pio-
batins of the will of tho late Chariest
W. Ilocsler, for many yeais aldeim.in
of the Ulghth vvnid, who died last
week at the home of Mr. and Mis.
John Osberry, nt 223 riaiiklln avenue.
Mr. lloesler lived for two years before
his death with tho OMierryu and in his
will left the greater pait of his es
tate, valued at $2.1,000, to Mrs. Osbciry
for her kindnesses to him and tho caio
she gave him during the time he lived
at her home.
The objections to the probating ot
tho will re made on behalf ot Marv
J. lloesler. the granddaughter of the
deceased, and It Is alleged on her be
half that on January C last, when her
grandfather made his will, he was so
weak mentally that ho did not have
testamcntaiy capacity.
At yesterday's hearing Attoinejs
Charles U. Olver and W. S. Dlehl an
cpaied for the will, nnd founer Judge
II. A. Knnpp for the objections to It.
Tho first witnesses swoin for tho will
were Chief ot the Pile Department V,
W, Zlzelman and W. A. Town-end,
who weie the witnesses to the will It
self. On cross-examination they testi
fied that they had been called Into the
house to act as w Itnesses to the docu
ment by Mis. Osberiy. The will was
then ulieady drawn and signed, and
they undft stood It to bo Hoesler'.s will.
HANDUD THIJ PUN.
Bocsler himself handed the pen to
Townsend to sign. Chief Hizelman slid,
that he was familiar with the hand-'
writing of lloesler and that he believed
the signature of the will to be ccnu
Ine. John T. Coopei, one of the bene
ficiaries of the (Will, was next called,
but his testimony was objected to on
the ground that beluga bcneilclar), he
was Incompetent to testlfv.
The leglster ruled that any testi
mony which would tluovv any light on
the mental condition of lloesler would
be admitted. Mr. Cooper testllled that
to the best of his belief. Aldeim.in
Hoesler was In sound mind when the;
will was diavvn up The cam for tlm
will was here dosed, with the nuclei -standing
that Di- Hull, who attended
lloeshr in his Inst Illness, could be
called later.
The Hist witness heaid on behalf of
the objectois to the will was Isadote
Goodman. He had known tho aldei
inan for twenty-five yeais. and bt
lleved that for the past thiee )e.us his
mind hud been falling. He knew his
signature, and was of the opinion that
tho signature to the will was not genu
ine.
Dr. II. N. Dunncll had known Hoes
ler for twenty-five or thirty years, and
had often attended hlni as a physician.
He said that his mind had been fall
ing ever since he way defeated for tho
oilice of alderman of the Ulghth ward.
His mind was weak for the past four
yeais and during that time hewas
unfit to do business, said the doctor.
The weakness could be traced to a de
generation of the nervous s)stem
caused by old ago and Its tendency
would be to inctease rather than im
prove. During the last two yeais he
was not fit to make a will. The doc
tor failed to recognize the slgnatuie.
Fred Dutr, the neM witness, h.ul
known Alderman P.oesler since 1S0.
During the last two yeais, he said, he
had been giowlnvr childish. It, W.
Lewis, of Mooslc, had known Boesler
for forty years and stated that his
mind had been noticeably falling for
tho past year and a half. Mrs. Lew is-,
his wife, had talked with Hneslei in
the fnll of 1S99 and nt that time, In her
belief, he was not competent to draw a
will.
MIND TAILING
William J. Schlffer, a neighbor ot the
dead man, testified that for the last
four years his mind had b.-eu giadu
ally fallng and that for the past two
jeats this had been espeel.ill) nutke
ahle. diaries Halt, of Petei.hu1'.
who was a policeman when Itoehlei
was chief, was not permitted to testify
because he had not seen him for the
past thiee years.
Alderman W. S. Millai. of the Ulghth
ward, who had known Hoesler tor
twenty-tlve iar, tesillled that he had
been bioken iu body mil mind for the
past few yeais. lio couldn't leiognizo
the signature to the will as Hoel "'
but wouldn't .swear It was not hi
Mrs Maiy Sullivan, who had known
the dead aldeiinan tor forty soars and
who had worked In his famll" for ten
eais, testified thit his mind hod not
been sound since the death of his son,
who was killed about threo yei's ag..
Walter Kilmer, who had .vsisied the
oldermnn with his bonks and papua
since he retired fiom public life, testi
fied that during lecent yearn his mind
was not sound,
