In speaking of Peruna, Robert Down- ing, the famous tragedian, says: “You may notice that persons in poor health always find the heat most intol- erable; this I avoid by using Peruna. I know by the thermometer that the weather is hot, yet I have felt the heat less this summer than ever. ‘1 find Perunaa preventative against all sudden summer ills that swoop upon one in changing climates and water.

From the Washington Post, Judge Ogden Hiles, of Salt Lake City, whois at the New Willard, was for a long while assistant United States district attorney of Utah, and in his official capacity prosecuted scores of violators of the statute against polygamy. “It is not with the people in our state,” said he, “so much a question of politics as of social and business differences. The Ines between the whites and the negroes in the south are not more. sharply defined than between the Mormons and the Gen- tiles of Utah. The Mormon heir- archy has complete domination of contrary todhe advices or wishes of thechurch authorities is pursued vin- dictively. If the church cancompass his downfall, he will be a ruined man.” “But isn’t polygamy itself ap- proaching a period of decay that bodes its early extinction?” “I should say that no such fate seems imminent. It is true that the manifesto of President Woodruff for- bade plural marriage, but all the same the practice has been kept up. Infact, those who live in polygamous relations are the aristocrats of the “piver ia atretchel to @ max width of ten miles and the boundary - Hines have been so changed as to place La Mesa nearly a half mile on the Mexican side.

Hundreds of head of live stock and many lives have been lost among the Mexicans. An army of men are fighting to-night in a hopeless at- tempt to divert the flood water into the canal, with property owners along the canal resisting the en- croachment.

Twenty-one men were rescued uninjured, butexhausted by their ter- rible experience They were hoisted with ropes through a shaft which had been sunk 60 feet in less than twen- ty four hours. The rescuers worked in three-min- ute relays until the tunnel wasreach- ed. When the heavy timbers of the roof of the tunnel were broken the entombed men were found standing in water above the knees and still working with a will to prevent fur- ther disast-r, as the soft dirt was constantly sliding.

Seeing their plight Vice- Admiral Togo signaled trom the bat- tleship Kikasa a demand to know whether the Russians were ready to surrender, Our ships complied with the demand.” Other accounts of the battle de- scribe the roar of the cannonade as so terrible that houses were shaken at Yamaguchi, twenty-eight miles distant, and the people supposed it was an earthquake.
