I therefore feel much encouraged that I am on the road to complete restoration. “My numerous friends in Texas, where I have had the honor to command a brigade of her Veteran Cavalry in a four years’ war, may accept this vol- untary testimonial to the merits of Peruna as a sense of obligation on my 3 part for its wonderful efficacy.”’—W.

There is no remedy in the world that Meets the conditions produced by the grip better than Peruna, Peruna strengthens as it renovates, soothes while it stimulates, heals as it expurgates.

Talks of Double Set of Books and the Increased Prices. “T am glad to eee the Globe-Demo- cratis taking up the cause ‘of the people in this beef trust investiga- tion,” said Maj. Harvey W. Salmon, of Clinton, banker and politician, who {s at the Planters’ hotel. ‘This {a one of the things that will not down easily, The report made by Commissioner Garfield {s surely based on only a superficial investigation of condition, I know, and have known for five years, that these packing concerns keep two sets of books, and it that Chicago grand jury gets hold of the other set they will find that there is plenty of profit in dressing beef as these packers do it. “I remember several years ago when I shipped cattle to the St, Louis market wegot $6 50 per 100 pounds, and we had to pay less for what we purchased. To-day if the packers pay $3.50 per 100, they sell beef higher and still make, according to Mr. Garfield’s report, a little over 1 per cent profit. It is all nonsense. The packers control both the pur- chase price of beef and the selling price, and I am confident their by- products will amount on one range cow'to as much as $15, It was only afew years ago that some of these big packing concerns were only able to purchase crippled hogs on the market. Today they are worth millions. OVERCHARGES FOR ICE, “Take these special car lines, for instance: They make a great profit just on ‘icing’ cars, for which they charge the shippers a big figure. Half of the time the shippers are charged for fifteen tons of ice for fill- ings car, when not a car in the whole outfit will hold more than six tons. “They control the local shipments offruit. Just another instance: Ifa manu down at West Plains wants to shipa car load of peaches to Urbana, Ill, he sends to one of the roads fora refrigerator car owned by some of these packing concerns. The minute that car leaves West Plains the news is telegraphed to headquarters at Kansas City. The packers’ trust rushes outa car of peaches to Urbana from St. Louis and the market is glutted by the time the West Plains man’s peaches reach there. In this way they stifle competition andcom- pel the producers to accept theirown figures for everything. ISSUE OF THE FUTURE, “President Roosevelt is striking along the right line, and Congress will find that within the next four years these trusts will be the issue good and strong. Unless they give the people some radical’ relief ‘from overcharges and rebates, not only will the railroads and the pickers, as well as all the other trusts of the country, find out that there will be more radical action taken than they even now anticipate.” Beef Prices Advanced. Kansas City, Mo, April 15.—The Kaneas City packers have advanced the price of dressed beef 1 cent a pound and fresh pork ¥centa pound. The beef that is being shipped to the country is selling for 8 cents, That is the best grade of beef. The better grades of native beef are sell ing as high as 10 cents. The: prices last week were 7, 7% and 9 cents. Some of the eastern shipments are selling for 10 cents. The price of pork fs 10% cents today. That is ¥ cent higher than last week.

Washington, April 15.—“Whether- Russia or Japan shall be the victor {o the far East war depends, in my opinion, upon the result of the battle about to occur between the fleete o> Admiral Rojestvensky and Admira } Togo,” said Admiral George Dewey {n speaking of the present struggle. “It Togo is beaten,” he continued “allthe money aud the lives thas have been spent by his country in Manchura will go for nothing. The Ruselans in command of the sea, would cut off communication be tween Japan and the mainland, and the Japanese army in Manchurs would be powerless.” During the war with Spain Admiral Dewey was placed in much the same position as Togo. “Think what Japan would give for two or three battleships at this critical moment,” exclaimed the ad- miral. ‘Her national safety would be secure. This isa thing we should take to heart. We have done muesa in a military way to protect our- selves. What we must do now is tc complete arming ourselves upon ths sea,” The admiral was asked to state how many battleships, in his judy- ment, would be required for the prop er defense of the United States and {te dependencies, “The programme which thegenera? board worked out contemplates the construction of forty-eight battle ships—not all ina lump, ut two or three a year,” he replied. “The battle ship fs the main thing; all the Test are auxiliaries.” Hunting For Her Assailants, Arkansas City, Kans., April 16 — One hundred armed men, who carry: shotguns loaded with buckshot, are searching for two men supposed to be tramps, who attacted Edna Cox, 20 yeurs old, this afternoon, The search was started as soon as the attack wae reported, the farmers. of the vicinity starting out at once and being later reinforced by officers fron: this place and many special deputies sworn into service for the occasion: The crime was committed in & ravine at the foot of high bill and in a Wagon road whieh is not much traveled. Heavy woods surrounded the place on all sides, forming an ex- cellent cover for the escape of the men. The men threatened to killthe girl if she stopped to give the alarm and she passed two farm houses be- foreshe stopped. As soon as she told the story the rural telephones brought out every man in the neigh borhood and they are still on duty. The feeling to-night is stronger against the mon than in the after- noon and there is 4 possibility that they will not be taken alive. The girl was able to give a fair descrip- tion of the men aside from their faces, which were tasked. The sheriff with deputies arrived on the scene this afternoon and is leading therearch. For fear the men have managed to get into town, a sharp lookout ie being kept here for men anewering their description. - iaeieaiaa elciagaiana Office ’ phone 133. “t Residenee ’ phone 130, DR. W. B.
