BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1905, “Give Me My Compass and Pe-ru-na and | Will Steer Clear of All Wrecks.” Pe-ru-na Known and Praised on == Land and Sea. ee Capt, L. T, Carter, 128 10th = Ave., Pensacola, Fila., writes: “A sick sailor is a pretty helpless man. I have found that Peruna will do more to restore one than any other medicine I know, and I have carried a couple of bottles on board for many seasons, “Seven years ago Peruna cured me of bronchial trouhe in a few weeks and gave me such new life and nerve force that I certainly believe in telling you of it. “Give me my compass and Peruna and I will steer clear of wrecks of all kinds and land in port safe and well with vessel and men."’--L. T. Carter. Capt. K. A, Watson, M, E., 48 Eliza- beth strect, Ottawa; Ont., writes: “Peruna has my heartiest endorse- ment. If there is any place that you are helpless when ill, it is on board a steamer, at sea, miles away from any assistance, “Sometimes two or three of my men would be sick at one time and seriously cripple the force, but since we have learned of the value of Peruna, by tak- ing a few doses they recuperate very quickly, CAPTAINS ON MANY SEAS ~~ NEVER WITHOUT PE-R U-NA. thy: my “We use it for colds, lung trouble and kidney diseases, and have also found it very fine for la grippe. “Perunais always one of the most im- portant supplies of my steamer.”—E.A, Watson. With @ bottle of Peruna on board sailors have a remedy on which they can rely, Commodore UV. S. Navy. Commodore Somerville Nicholson, of the Unitad States Navy, in a letter from 1837 R street, N, W., Washington, D.C., says: “I unhesitatingly recommend Pe- runa to all persons suffering from ca tarrh,’’--S, Nicholson. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write a tonce to Dr, Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- | vice gratis.

Do you want to know what is more destructive to human happiness and more fatal to human life than war, or the rum fiend, or any deadly disease? Well we will tell you. It is debt. Debt, remarks 4 sensible editor,has whiten- ed more heads and wrinkled more faces and wrecked more lives and peopled more cemeteries prematurely than any other eneny of the human race. If tombstones bore correct records, no other words would b found on 60 many of them than these: “Died of Debt.” Next to unrequited love, debt is the moss potent cause of cuicide; while criminologists know it is a fruitful cause of crime. What in- duced the cashier to embezzle that money? Debt! What prompted the defaulter to becomes wanderer on the face of the earth? Debt: Sherman said, not irreverently, “War is Hell” We would rather be the author of this sentence: “Debt is hell.” The Old Book knew what it was talking about when it said: Owe no man any thing.” We would rather live in a “dugout free from debt than in a mansion hopelessly plastered with mortgages. Young man, think long before assuming obligations you are not absolutely sure of your ability to pay—and then don’t do it.—Ex. Saved Carrie Nation’s Life. South McAlester.

Mrs. Nation attempted to catch the hand hold on the car steps, but grabbed one bar with both hands, and her body was swung be- tween the cars. She was pulled ont! by the newspaper man and thrown | on the car steps. She was not dan- gerously injured. Russian Fleet Said to Have Shelled Rioters.

It is alleged that some vessels of the Black Sea squadron (Russian) bom- barded Poti. An English merchant who has just arrived here says he was obliged to flee from Batoum, where his life was menaced by strikers and his office destroyed. This mer chant says the authorities of Batoum are powerless, The strikers are all Georgians and are estimated to number 40,000.

CZAR DECIDES FOR WAR Peace Talk Will Be Abandoned and the Russians Will Now Push the War to the Utmost. THE COST OF THE WAR TO DATE, Lose of men, killed, disabled per- manently, died of wounds or illness snd captured. Russia. Japan. 150,000 90,000 Loss in warships 37 17 Loas in battleships 7 1 Loss in cruisers 8 3 Loss in gunboats 3 0 Loss in torpedo craft 16 10 Loss in transports 3 3 War expenditures, Russian $475,- 000,000; Japanese $360,000, 000, Besides this loss Russian invest- ments in railroads, fortifications, guns and munitions of war to the estimated value of a least 250 mil lion dollars has fallen into the hands of the Japanese or been destroyed. Estimated strength of armies in field—Russia, 400,000; Japan, 375, 000, Duration of war to date—One year and elghteen day. Berlin, Feb. 238.—The emperor of Russia has elected to continue the war. His position is absolutely firm and the German court has been ad- vised in that sense. The war will be pressed with the utmost energy. The domestic situation is now within the control of the authorities. Those who have advised peace and suggested inquirles for Japan’s terms, the French and British governments, are for the present silent and probably will remain so unless events of an extraordinary character shake the Russian em- peror’s resolution. The coneidera- tions that led to the emperor’s deci- sion as understood here are: 1. The judgements of the chiefs of the army that Field Marsha! Oyama not only cannot defeat General Kuro- patkin, but standsin danger of de- feat himself. How cowardly there- fore for Russla to ask for mercy, with all the men and money essential to a successful war. 2. All the forces of criticism now directed against the government for having fought rather than yielded to legitimate interests and for having failed to win victories would be con- tinued with added fury against the government that accepted war and then betrayed the country. A gov- ernment that would crave peace of Russia’s enemy while still capable of winning victory would be giving the party of change genuine grounds for arevolution. The facts of the mili- tary situation, love of country and arguments of expediency were all against peace and for pressing the war hopefully. A Confusion of Wives. Occasionaly this excess of wivis in Utah leads to amusing consequences, as when one of the apostlesinvited a visiting gentile to dinner. The guest lost the address, and looked up the apostle in the directory. He observ- ed that his hostess, though she answered to the proper name, seemed uaprepared to meet him, and present- ly he heard her at the telephone. “Ob, Emma? Ie John liviog aty.our house this week? Is he expecting somebody to dinner to-day? Very well. The gentleman will be there in afew minutes.” Then, returuing to the stranger, she handed him a paper slip. “You came to the wrong house, sir. This ie the address you want.” On another occasion a litsle girl came running into the parlor while a visitor was calling. “Mamma, ma- ma, papa wants his suit case packed. He is goiug to live with Aunt Emma this week.” A Guaranteed Cure For Piles Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protrud- ing Piles.

Springfield, Ill., Feb. 25 —Having confessed to the charge of the em- bezslement of funds of the Citizens’ saving and loan association, of which he was secretary, Fred L. Grant, who for many years has been prominently identified with business interests in this city, and who was a popular young man, was sentenced today te serve an indeterminate sentence in the Chester penitentiary. Grant’s speculations amounted to about $8000. He bas answered all questions put to him except one, and that {s, what he did with the money, He says that question he will never answer, and he will carry the secret with him to the penitentiary. As he is not known to have any bad or ex- travagant habits, the case isa very peculiar one. Called a Jury of Negroes. Macon, Mo ,Feb, 27.—Hubb Bragg, @ young negro was before Justice Greer today, charged with stealing a ‘shootin’ iron” from Ellis Houston, He had just completed a thirty-day sentence for carrying the pistol. The squire asked him how he wanted to plead on the new charge. Might’s well say guilty,” said Bragg. ‘A nigger don’t get noshow in this country no how.” “Don’t, eh?” said the court. “Con- stable you skirmish around and pick up a dozen or so negro men for jury service, and be quick. We'll show him!” Ia a balf hour the constable had the little court room full of ne- groes. Every one of them knew Bragg from his days of picaninnism up, and Bragg knew they knew. He glared at the crowd and then turned sullenly to the court. “It you’re goin’ ter make all dat fugs over @ two bit pop gun,” he said “I pleads guilty.” As he didn’t have the $50 about him, Bragg went back to jail.

Copenhagen, Feb. 26.—The whip ping post for thugs appears destin- ed to oecome an institution in this country in the near future. The min- ieter of justic has reintroauced in the Rigstag the bill which was defeated at the last session, providing for the establishment of the whipping post. The bill was bitterly assailed in the last session even by the ministe- rialiste. The minister of justice, however, caused to be widely circulated Pres- ident Roosevelt's letter favoring the whipping post for wife beaters, which created a strong impression. It is believed this exercised sufficient in- fluence to turn the tide in the bill’s favor. A Frightened Horse.

Promises of Largest Crop in History of Orchards Almost Wholly Blasted. Other Fruit Injured by Cold. Roger, Ark, Feb, 25,—Complete reports from the peach belt of thie section, which extends from Van Buren Ark., on the south to Spring- field, Mo., on the north, tend to con- firm the early fears that the crop for 1905 will be practically a failure, A few protected points may have a few peaches but the shipments cannot be large enough to be of commercial{m- portance. It was feared that the peaches north of the Boston Mountains had been severely injured by the early zero weather, but those around Van Buren, in Crawford county were thought to be safe. The temperature on February 12 ranged from 8 degrees below zero at Van Buren to 22 degrees below at Springfield. Frank Smeltzer and others of the largest growers around Van Buren say they believe the crop was destroyed Last year Vun Buren shipped 250 care of peaches and the acreage that was supposed to come {nto bearing this year for the first time would have doubled the shipments of last year. Washington and Benton counties have raised no peaches since 1902, when they shipped over 200 care. The large profits that year caused the growers to become enthusiastic and the acreage since then has been more than doubled. Southwest Mis- souri has not had a good crop for several years, and 1905 seems to have another failure in store for them, if reporte of their leading growers are correct. Many of the growers in both Mis- souri and Arkansas believe that be cause the weather preceding the freeze was cold, the buds were retard- ed so greatly that they were not far enough advanced to be killed Nine- tenths of the peach orchards in the acetion above referred to are of the Elberara variety, which forms {ts | buds in the early fall. Last November and December were | unusually warm and the buds made such rapid progress that they were | in no condition to withstand the ex- cessive weather of the last two | months. P With favorable weather this south- eastern peach country will ship not less than 1,500 cars, but after the severe weather of this winter fifteen curs may be thelimit Most of the growers think the damage to the fruit has been confin- | NO. 18 ed to the peaches and that ever: thing elae fs in excellent shape. The strawberries were protected by seve. ral inches of snow-and the appl budsare still dormant. It is impos- sible to tell as yet whether or not the cherries and pears have been damag ed. The Telephone Jokers. Have you a practical joke pest among your acquaintances? This is an example of the way he operates. You are called to your phone and he says: “Hello, is this Mr. Smith?) This is the telephone {nspector. 1 just want- ed to find out if your telephone fs in good working order, You say it is’ Well, stand to one side and talk to me, Gord. Now to the other side All right. Now stand back about two feet. Fine, Now, Mr, Smith, please stand on your head and see if Lean hear you distinctly, Mr Brown is called, and when he answers he gets this: “Ie this 1905?” “No this is —" “Lt aint! You'd better look at your calender.” Mr. White is called to the telephone to be asked if his home is the fertiliz- ing plant, or the workhouse, or the county poor farm. Isis understood that the joker may be shot with impunity. Against the “Katy” Too. Chanute, Kas., Feb, 22—W. Eb Connelly, for the advisory board of the Kansas Oil Producers association wired Congressman P, P, Campbell today charges against the Missouri. Kansas & Texas Railway company, identical in terms with the charges filed against the Atcheson, Topeka and Santa Fe some days ago, alleg- ed collusion between the rallroad company and the Standard Oil com pany, in the matter of rater, and also alleging the controlling own- ership of the railroad company by the Standard Oil comyany. The charges will be filed with the Depars- ment of Commerce and Labor in Washington this afternoon, Look Out For Paper Money. Washington, February 25 —Paper money will carry disease germs for mont; metal money will carry such germs only twenty-four hours, ac- cording to the conclusion of Dr. Thomas Darlington, president of the New York city board of health, who has been experimenting with bacteria on money and who presented the result to day tothe Housecommittee on banking and currency. The germs of only two diseases have been ex- perimented with--consumption and | diptheria—and both of these may be communicated from one person to another on money. 2 Fifty Years tho Siandard | it " Nel ‘ Cue! : PAice BAKING SOV pore gream of 4 grapes.
