SUFFERED FROM CATARRH OF LUNGS SO COMMON IN WINTER. CURED BY PE-RU-NA. The coming winter will cause at least one-half of the women to have catarrh, colds, coughs, pneumonia or consumption. Thousands of women will lose their lives and tens of thousands will acquire some chronic alliment from which they will never recover. Use like the necessary precautions, the chances are that you (who read this) will be one of the unfortunate ones. Little or no risk need be run if Peruna is kept in the house and at the first appearance of any symptom of catarrh taken as directed on the bottle. Peruna is a safeguard, a preventative, a specific, a cure for all cases of catarrh, acute and chronic, coughs, colds, constipation. For free medical advice, address Dr. S. B. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. Don't Feed Recklessly. There are farmers who feed all animals alike, without regard to the fact that some will consume much more than others. It has long been estimated that half a bushel of grain a day will supply fifty sheep, in addition to long food, but there is a great difference in the breeds of sheep, and individuals also differ. The only way to feed is to closely observe the animals and supply their wants without waste. Happy Thought. Mrs. Jones—Can't we meet somewhere in the evening? I have so much to say to you. Mrs. Smith—Yes; let's arrange to go to the opera some night. A girl can be very much interested in a man if she thinks it will help to make some other man very much interested in her. ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN CANADA. "Potatoes the Finest I Ever Saw." Owing to the great amount of interest that is being taken in Western Canada, it is well to be informed of some of the facts that are bringing about the great emigration from portions of the United States. The Canadian government has authorized agents at different points, and the facts related in the following may be corroborated on application. At the same time they will be able to quote you rates, and give you certificates entitling you to low rates on the different lines of railway. The following letter copied from the North Bend (Neb.) Eagle is an unsolicited testimonial, and the experience of Mr. Auten is that of hundreds of other Americans who have made Canada their home during the past seven or eight years; "I presume some may be interested to know how we have progressed this year in the Canadian Northwest. We have no complaint to offer. We have had a good year, crops were good and we have had a delightful season. I threshed from my place, 8,650 bushels of grain. My oats made 65 bushels per acre and weighed 42½ pounds per bushel. My wheat made 31½ bushels per acre and is No. 1 quality. My barley made about 30 bushels of good quality. My crop is a fair average of the crops in the Edmonton district. "All crops were good here this season. Potatoes the finest I ever saw, and all vegetables adapted to the climate. We have had a very fine fall, but no exception to the rule, as the fall season is. I think, the most pleasant of the year. We have had no snow yet (Nov. 9), and have been plowing and working the land preparing for an early seeding next spring. Last night the mercury dropped lower than any previous night this fall, and this morning there is a crust of frost on the fields sufficient to prevent field work. No doubt many would imagine that Alberta had put on her winter overcant before this and that the people were wrapped in furs, but it is only a question of time when this country will not be looked upon as an iceberg, but a country fit for the best of marking to live in. "We are now assured of a transcontinental railway, which is to be built to the Pacific during the next five years. The Canadian Northern road is graded to within seventy-five miles of Edmonton. It comes from Winnpeg, and will reach us next summer, so with one railroad already at hand, the second to reach us in less than a year, and the third to penetrate our city and open up this country to the west across the Rockies to the coast within five years, we surely have reason to believe that the country is prograssing. "Very respectfully. L. J. AUTEN." A COLD ON THE LUNGS THREATENS TO BECOME SERIOUS. Pe-ru-na Brings Speedy Relief. Mrs. H. E. Adams, Ex-President Palmetto club, of New Orleans, La., writes from 110 Garfield Court, South Bend, Ind., as follows: "I am pleased to endorse Peruna, as I took it about a year ago and it soon brought me relief from a cold on my lungs which threatened to be serious. "The lungs were sore and inflamed. I coughed a couple of hours every night, and I felt that something must be done before my lungs became affected. I knew of my friends who suggested I take of upon their advice I tried it and found that it was able to bring about a speedy cure. You have my highest endorsement and thanks for the good it did me." Sounding the Praises of Peruna. Mrs. Frances Wilson, 32 Nelson St., Clinton, Mass., writes: "Had you seen me at the time of my illness and now, you would not wonder that I take delight in sounding the praises of Peruna. "My ailment was a severe cold which attacked the bronchial tubes and lungs. "I followed your special directions and after using six bottles of Peruna, I was on my feet again. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine." Dividends for Bank Creditors. The Comptroller of the Currency recently declared a second dividend of 15 per cent in favor of the creditors of the First National bank of Florida, of Jacksonville, Fla., making in all 40 per cent on claims proved, amounting to $236.558. The Comptroller declared also a third dividend of 20 per cent in favor of the creditors of the First National Bank of Macon, Ga., making in all 85 per cent on claims amounting to $621.113. Conviction of Land Robbers After the people of the United States have been robbed of millions of acres there has at last been a conviction of five land robbers in Oregon. In this case, involving 8,000 acres of timber land, the fraud was accomplished with more or less official connivance by the use of fictitious names for land entries. Two of the convicted land pirates were extensive timber operators and hitherto very respectable members of society. Danger of Quoting. Mrs. Kindle (whose husband has told her at the apartment house was the proper thing for her, o the principle of suites to the sweet)—Henry said an awfully nice thing to me today. Mrs. Kandle-Yes?

A little boy of eight years whose parents did not feed him on the right kind of food, was always nervous and suffered from a weak condition of the stomach and bowels. Finally he was taken down with appendicitis and after the operation the doctor, knowing that his intestinal digestion was very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day. He rapidly recovered and about two months thereafter, his Father states, "He has grown to be strong, muscular, and his肺 soundly, weighs 62 pounds, and his whole system is in a fine condition of health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. It is plain that if he had been put on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his life, and kept from the use of foods that he could not digest, he never would have had appendicitis. That disease is caused by undigested food decaying in the stomach and bowels, causing irritation and making for the growth of all kinds of microbes, setting up a diseased condition which is the active cause of appendicitis, and this is more marked with people who do not properly digest white bread. Grape-Nuts is made of the selected parts of wheat and barley and by the peculiar processes of the cooking at the factory, all of the stars is turned into sugar ready for immediate digestion and the more perfect nourishment of all parts of the body, particularly the brain and nerve centers.

KERENS Bittinger Led Off for Kerens Wednes day-Niedringhaus Lost Four Votes on First Ballot and Two More on Second. Candidates— 187, 20 Niedringhaus 87, 85 Cockrell 83, 83 Keren 6, 7 Pettijohn 0, 1 Necessary to a choice—89. JEFFERSON CITY, — Thomas K. Niedringhaus has sustained the forecasted check, and the prospects for his ultimate election to the United States senate are still more removed. He was two votes short on the first ballot and on the second ballot was four votes short of enough to elect, though on Monday he had two to spare. Niedringhaus lost the support of Bittinger, of St. Joseph; Branch, of Laayette; Cook, of Howell—who testified that he had been offered a bribe to vote for Niedringhaus—Elliott and Roach, of Jasper, and Grace, of St. Louis, on the first ballot. This crowd was swelled on the second ballot by the departure of Representative Hatzfeld, of Newton county, to the Kerens camp, and by the desertion of Representative Kirkham, of Camden, who voted for Dr. A. C. Pettijohn, of Linn county. MAY RUN BOATS TO MUSKOGEE. Arkansas River Navigators May Operate to the Indian Territory Town. MUSKOGEE, I. T.—Representatives of the Commercial club have just returned from Fort Smith and Webber's Falls, where they have been in conference with the owners of the line of steamboats plying on the Arkansas river between those points. The result is that the owners of the boats will submit to this place a proposition to extend their line of boats up the river to this point. The shipping would be at Frozen Rock, to which place the street car .ones will be extended for the purpose of handling both freight and passenger traffic. The principal interest that Muskogee has in this is securing boats enough to force the railroads to meet a water rate on freight. This can be done if the boats run regularly. TO MEASURE DEATH VALLEY. A Government Expedition Looking for America's Lowest Level. SACRAMENTO, CAL.—R. A. Farmer of the United States geological survey has left upon a mission that may establish, in accordance with scientific requirements, the exact height of Mount Whitney, and also the lowest point in the United States. According to mercurial tests, which are deemed unsatisfactory and liable to err, Mount Whitney is anywhere from 15,503 to 15,530 feet high. The same investigating party will find the greatest natural depression in the earth's crust in America. The surface of Death valley, popularly supposed to be the lowest in the United States, has been estimated at from 100 to 500 feet below the level of the sea. JAPS TAKE SIXTY SHIPS.

Employees are to be reinstated. The governor is to investigate and submit conclusions as to what average margin shall prevail on which manufacturers shall pay a dividend of 5 per cent on present wages from now to April 1. Jans Take Another Steamer TOKIO.—The Japanese captured the British steamer Bawtry in Tsu straits. The vessel was carrying provisions, ship building material, etc., from Kiao Chou, the German port, upon the Shantun peninsula to Vladivostok. It was taken to Sasebo. The capture of another steamer is reported, but no details have been received. Marshal Colbert a Presidential Escort. MUSKOGEE, I. T.—Benjamin Colbert, marshal has, been notified that he will be one of thirty "Rough Riders" who will be the escort at President Roosevelt's inaugural.

TOKIO.—The Japanese navy department announces that seventeen officers and men were lost with the torpedo boat commanded by Lieutenant Nagata in the attack on the Russian battleship Sevastopol off Port Arthur, December 14. Whisky Confiscated. ARDMORE I. T.—The Wells-Fargo Express Company's office in this city was raided by federal authorities and a large amount of whisky confiscated and spilled in the street. Senator Burton Wins in Case Before Supreme Court. WASHINGTON.—In the case of Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas the supreme court of the United States dismissed the writ of certiorari to the circuit court of appeals for the Eighth circuit and reversed the verdict of the district court for the Eastern district of Missouri upon the ground that the payments to Burton were made in Washington. The district court was therefore reversed and the case remanded for a new trial. This is the decision in the appeal of Senator Burton from the judgment of the United States district court for the Western district of Missouri, in which he was sentenced to pay a fine of $2,500 and to serve six months in jail for violating a federal statute forbidding members of Congress from rendering service for compensation before a government department in a proceeding in which the United States is interested. The proceeding in which Burton appeared, involved the issuance of a fraud order against the Rialto Gran and Securities company of St. Louis, which concern Burton represented as attorney. Soon after Judge Adams imposed sentence, Burton's attorneys brought the case to the United States supreme court in a petition for writ of error to the lower court and a petition for writ of certiorari. The case was advanced on the docket and arguments of appeal were submitted about December 1. MAY OPEN RAILWAY BOOKS. One of the Ways of Stopping Rebates Told in Senate Committee. WASHINGTON.—The Senate committee on interstate commerce gave a hearing upon the Cooper-Quarles bill conferring greater power upon the interstate commerce commission. E. P. Bacon, representing the interstate commerce law convention, who has been heard at some length by the committee, was examined. Replying to Senator Elkins he said that the question of rebates was fully covered by the Elkins act, and that it remains for the interstate commerce commission to enforce the provisions of that act. It is essential, he said, that the books of the railroad companies be opened not only to inspection, but that inspectors be appointed to examine the books of railway corporations in order to discover when rebates are paid that suits might be brought by the attorney general. He would not at this time suggest an amendment to the Cooper-Quarles bill covering that point, but he thought that machinery could be provided in the future to meet this condition. Chairman Elkins said it was important that somebody see the books, as one of the things desired is to do away with rebates. What the country wants, said Senator Elkins, is that discrimination and rebates be stopped. BADGES FOR ARMY MERIT MEN. A New Order Issued by Authority of the President. WASHINGTON.-General orders issued by the war department announce that by authority of the president, a badge with ribbon will be issued to each officer and enlisted man in the service to whom a certificate of merit has been or hereafter may be issued and that campaign badges with ribbons will be issued as articles of the uniform to officers and enlisted men in the service entitled thereto. SHOT AT OFFICER. A Student Tried to Kill General Tree noff in Moscow. MOSCOW.-While General Trepoff was bidding farewell to Grand Duke Sergius on his departure for St. Petersburg at the Nicolas station a young man wearing a student's cap fired three shots from a revolver at the general. All the shots missed General Trepoff. Grand Duke Sergius proceeded on his journey. The Appropriation Bill in the Senate, WASHINGTON.-The senate passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill and also a number of private pension bills. The questions of granting pensions for service in the Indian police and of allowing gratuities for injuries received by workmen while in the employ of the government were debated at length. In the February Century. Who organized the Boston Symphony Orchestra? What is its policy and what the object of its being? How are its leader, concert-master and players secured, and how are they paid? What does the Boston Symphony Orchestra mean to America? These are some of the questions and answers to which interest every music-lover in the country. And these points, and many others, will be covered in the February Century in an article on "The Boston Symphony Orchestra" by Richard Aldrich, musical critic of the New York Times. Among the illustrations of the sketch will be a portrait of Mr. Henry Lee Higginson from the painting by John S. Sargent.

Sometimes the story of how a popular air came to be written is almost as interesting as the song itself, says the New York Sun. Take the case of "It Was Not Like That in the Olden Days." As originally written, it was not in the score of "The Yankee Consul" at all. But at the first rehearsals in Boston Mr. Savage complained that he did not believe that there was one air in the piece that would make an individual hit. Alfred Robyn, the composer, left the theater sick at heart that day and telephoned down to some friends at Nantucket that he was coming down to spend the night. The three-year-old son of his hostess happened to say that Mr. Robyn, who has a great reputation among his friends as an improvisor, was coming. "He's the man who can make the piano talk for you!" she remarked to the child, whereupon the youngster promptly refused to go to bed. Try as his mother might, the kid stubbornly refused. As soon as Mr. Robyn arrived the child said: "Can you make our piano say 'papa' and 'mamma?'" The composer sat down and having heard of the situation from the mother promptly improvised a few lines of an air which she sang to the words: "Don't you think that it's time For you to go to bed, You curly-headed little boy."
