Hawley of Washington, D. C., Writes: “I have used Peruna and find it very beneficial for kidney trouble and especially good for coughs, colds and catarrhal troubles.”—A. F. Hawley. Brig. Gen. Cook, of Washington, D.C, Writes: “As a number of my friends and acquaintances have used Peruna as a catarrh cure with good results, and as obsolete so far as our strenuous President is concerned He simply kicks it out of the way and goes ahead. Such things in this country are growing more frequent and will continue to do so, because of the ut- ter indifference of the people. Some! day the republican oligarchy will pull the whole dadgummed fabric of their liberties from under their feet, and then maybe they will sit up and be- gin to take notice when {t is too late. The question of railroad rate legis lation is one of the biggest that has confronted the people of the country for many years, and too much can- not be said about it. Before it is settled the people ought to be thor- oughly familiar with every phase of it, and there are always two sides to every question. Every good Demo- crat ie in favor of some sort of legis lation that will safeguard the inter. este of the people and prevent extor- tion on the part of the railroade, without impoveriebing the roade. I was in favor of the Hearst bill, which did this thing, but I am not in favor of the Eech-:‘owneend bill or any- thing like it that gives to the Inter- state Commerce Commission arbi- trary powers without providing for men on the commission who have eense enough to know what rates are. Simply to ascertain how many peo ple in this country are directly inter- ested in this rate question that more or less will affect the condition of the roads, I went to the Interstate Com- mesce Commission and gathered some interesting figures. Insurance companies hold of rail- road investments, $845,889,038; savings banks, $528,555,167, and educational inetitations, $47,468,- “What's the Constitution between|327 There are 5,290,952 savings bank Tam now using it beneficially, I can safely recommend its use to persons suffering from this disorder.”—Geo, W.

Syphoer. Brig. Gen. Gibson of Washington, D.C., Writes: “Peruna is not only a remedy for colds and catarrh, but also an m.-) mirable tonic and should be in every and use to all persons. Am using it myself with good results.".—A, G. Gibson, ‘ EDY, PE-RU-NA. Gen. Henderson of Washington, D. C., Writes: “Peruna has been used in my family with the very best results, and I take pleasure in recommending your valuable remedy to my friends as a fine tonic and effective cure for catarrh,” Maj. Gen. Armstrong of Washing- ton, D.C., Writes: “As many of my old comrades and friends have beon greatly benefited by the use of Peruna for catarrhal troubles, I heartily join in their en- dorsement of its curative qualities,” F.C, Armstrong, General Pettys of the U. V.

C., Writes: “1 take pleasure in endorsing the many recommendations I have heard and read of Peruna, because of having had knowledge of the truth of 60 many of them, “We always tell our sick and ailing friends of the remedies that we have learned, from experience, were good for us when ailing in the same way, and . | we do it as a duty we feel that we owe them, “Why is it any the less our duty to advise all the people we can when we know of a good and con paratively in- expensive remedy tha’ makes many cures, and benefits ina ) ost all cases? “My own little persoval experience of being relieved of deafness, caused by a siege of catarrh, warrants me in ad- vising all the afflicted to just try Peruna.”—A, M.

Shatswell of Washington, D C., Writes: “Icommend Perunaas a most agreeable as well as effective medicine, Catarrh and catarrhal colds are checked and generally cured by a judicious use ofit. It isa good promoter of digestion and is an excellent remedy for a weak stomach, It tones up the appetite and is not at all disagreeable to take,”— Nathaniel Shatswell, Captain Jackson of Washington, D. C., Writes: “Iam eighty-three years old, a veteran of the Black Hawk, Mexican and Civil Wars, Some years ago I was seriously affected with catarrh of the stomach, After the use of three bottles of Peruna every appearance of my complaint was removed,” 1f you do not derive prompt and satise factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once ..

Thirty per cent of the holdings of | these institutions are in railroad se curities, which is one-sixth in valueot all the railroad securities of this country. There are 327,000 individ- ual railroad stockholders in this country and 1,345,000 men at work on the railroads, and at least 6,500,- 000 people dependent for their inceme upon the raflroads. Ialso ascertain- ed there that the rate of traneporta- tion has been increased less than 5 per cent, taken as a whole, in the pastfour years, and that railroad rates have dropped 40 per cent sinve the creation of the Commission. These figures are interesting because they are facte taken from the stat- istics, and everybody is interested in knowing the trath. A little incident oceurred here in this city this week that shows the value of newspaper advertising, and I mention it only for that purpose. Everybody either has seen or heard of Lew Docketader, the best negro minstrel in the country. Well, Lew has his show here this week and on last Friday he inserted a little want “ad” in one of the local papers to the effect that school girls and boys who can write distinctly were invited to call at the box office of the National Theatreon Saturday morning. They lined up for blocks and were handed a little elip of paper which read that it was to encourage rapid and dis. tinct penmanship and offered a pri- vate box to the boy er girl who would write distinctly “Lew Dock- stader is my comedian” the greatest —> | Such things as constitutions are | depositors and 18,147,000 insurance |els of them and the line had been written from 100 to 4,000 times. It came near breaking up the public schools, as the teachers could get nothing out of the pupils, who want- ed to write all day Monday. The teachers are swearing vengeance on Lew Dockstader, but Lew justlaughs and says he has proved the value of printers’ ink as well as burnt cork. Cuarces A Enwarps, John Paul Jones’ Body Buried in Scotland. St. Paul, Minn., April 10 —Joseph A. Wheelock, editor-in-chief of the Pioneer Press, has discovered where the bones of the Johu Paul Jones re- pose. The remains are not buried in Paris, as Ambassador Porter be- lieves, but lie in the cemetery at Dumfries, Scotland, his birthplace. Mr. Wheelock says: “General Porter will be surprised to learn as soon as he receivesa letter recently addressed to him by an old lady, a Scotch woman, Mrs. Preston, who is pow and for many years has been a resident of Southern Califor- nia. The other day she happened to eve in & newspaper an account of Mr. Porter's search for the grave. She immediately wrote him that the grave of his hero was at Domfries. She well remembered, for it is marked with a stone which bears the sinieter inscription: ‘John Paul Jones, the Black Pirate.’ ” Kern, Garver and Mclimsey.
