This honored pastor in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co of Colum
bus Ohio says concerning their famous catarrh remedy Peruna
The Peruna Medicine Co Columbus Ohio
Gentlemen I had hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time
and all despaired of me I took Peruna and was cured It gave me
strength and courage and made healthy pure blood It increased
my weight gave me a healthy color and I feel well It is the best
medicine in the world If everyone kept Peruna in the house it
would save many from death every year H STUBENVOLL
Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it becaute
it has been called some other name than
catarrh The fact is catarrh is catarrh
wherever located and another fact
which is of equally great importance is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located

HAS TWO SENATE
COLORADO HOUSE SPLITS AND
FORMSDUAL ORGANIZATION-
GOVERNOR ASKED FOR TROOPS
Both Claim to Be Sole Constitutional
Body Entitled to Act Republicans
Wish to Regain Seats by Forcibly
Expelling Democrats
DENVER Both houses of tho gen
eral assembly balloted for United
Stales senator at noon Tuesday Hen
ry M Teller receiving 50 votes only
one less than is needed to elect Sen
ator McGuire a democrat refrained
from voting but subsequently said
that he should vote for Teller if it
Should appear that he could be elocted
Only two republican senators were
in the senate chamber when the vote
was taken and they did not respond
when their names were called
Soon afterwards the nine regular re
publican senators the two who were
expelled by the democratic majority
and the eight contestants who were
sworn in on the steps of the capitol
assembled in the lieutenant governors
room and formed a separate organiza
tion
Senator M Z Farwell was elected
president pro tern C E Hogan secre
tary and Thomas McMahan sergeant-at-arms
the senate officers previously
chosen being ordered removed A bal
lot was then taken for senator
A resolution was adopted notifying
the governor that the senate had re
organized and was ready for business
Subsequently two of the regularly
elected republican senators Drake of
Larimer county and Conforth of El
Paso left the Haggctt senate and re
turned to the senate chamber where
they announced that they would act
with the regular senate and would
not longer participate in a farce
If the democratic senate is recogniz
ed and the house remains with its
present membership as seems likely
Senator Teller may be re elected On
the contray if the republican senate
is recognized there is likely to lie no
election and the balloting will con
tinue indefinitely
The vote in the house tot senator
was as follows Henry M Teller
democrat 25 Edward O Wolcoti re
publican 18 Frank C Goudy repub
lican 13 Irving Howbert republican
G N W Dixon republican 3
The republican senators met in
Lieutenant Governor Haggotts cham
ber and balloted for senator The vote
was as follows Edward O Wolcott
9 Frank Cc Goudy 4 Irving Howbert
2 John W Springer 1 Jesse North
cott 1 N W Dixon 2
After a tumultous conflict in the
general assembly in the course of
which Governor Peabody was request
ed to call out the militia forces of
the state in order to seat seven repub
lican senators declared to he wrong
fully excluded from the legislature
the situation quieted down with a
democratic majority in possession of
the senate chamber
A supply of blankets was sent in to
them and they proposed to hold forth
until balloting for United States sen
ator began
Under the orders of the democratic
majority the doorkeepers refused to
permit the republican senators to leave
and denied admission to the men that
the republican minority pretended to
have seated The senate therefore
remained in continuous session
A strong guard was present in the
house and excluded all persons except
members and officers of the house and
one reporter for each newspaper The
doors were locked and no person was
permitted to leave the chamber until
the ballot for senator was taken

Banks Asked to Take Up Bonds
WASHINGTON Secretary Shaw
has written to the banks that had
substituted state and municipal bonds
for government bonds as security for
public deposits that he would like to
have a substitution of government
bonds This is in accordance with the
policy announced at the time munici
pals were accepted They were ac
cepted only on condition that the
banks should use the bonds that were
released by the substitution as a ba
sis for circulation It is now expect
ed that the banks will retire this ad
ditional circulation and thus release
the bonds to be used again as security
for deposits

SLAYDEIfS ROAST
SAYS CONSULS ARE UNDERPAID
AND CONSULATES ARE
ASYLUMS FOR DEBAUCHERY
Grosvenor of Ohio Denounced Some of
the Statements Made as Slander on
Our Consular Service Considerable
Debate Over the Matter
WASHINGTON D C This was
committee suspension day in the house
and immediately after the reading of
the journal the speaker recognized
several members to move the passage
of bills under suspension of the rules
A bill was passed to grant a right
of way through the Fort Sill military
reservation to the Oklahoma West
ern railroad
A bill to revoke the sentence of
court martial against First Leiutenant
who was dismissed from the army in
1875 and to authorize his appointment
and retirement as a first lieutenant
aroused some antagonism
While the house was dividing upon
the demand for a second a photog
rapher in the public gallery took a
flashlight photograph The glare of
the flash startled some of the mem
bers and Mr Sulzer N Y cried
out Mr Speaker I thought it was
a bomb
Mr Lawrence Mass in support
of the bill for the relief of Lieutenant
Davidson said the bill would be a
tardy act of justice to a deserving offi
cer The bill was passed
A senate bill was passed to appro
priate 1000000 for the payment of
the Hawaiian fire claims and to au
thorize the territorial government to
issue 500000 in bonds for the same
purpose
The senate amendments to the mil
itia bill were agreed to which passed
the bill
The house then went into commit
tee of the whole on the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill
Mr Hitt in charge of the measure
explained that it carried 2002925 or
75900 more than the current law and
210300 less than the estimate
Mr McClellan N Y submitted
some interesting figures to demon
strate that our consular service is un
derpaid and over manned He made
comparisons with other first clas
countries which showed that our con
sular and diplomatic officers received
the lowest salaries hut that the total
cost of the service was increased by
the excessive number of such officers
in some cases double and treble the
number maintained by other countries
Mr McClellans remarks led to con
siderable debate Mr Slaynder Tex
criticised very severely the character
of our consular officers abroad espe
cially some of those in Mexico Some
of the Mexican consulates he said
were made regular asylums for inva
lids and drunkards
It makes an American blush said
he to hear the stories that are told
of some of our official representa
tives
Proceeding he narrated how a Uni
ted States consul at Saltillo Mex
with two companions last summer en
tered the office of a newspaper editor
to assault him
Were any charges made to the
state department against this official
asked Mr Adams Pa
Charges have been repeatedly
made replied Mr Slayden This
particular official left town between
night and morning while I was in the
city
The particular service of our repre
sentatives Mr Slayden proceeded to
say seemed to be drunkenness and
in this connection referred to the case
of the special envoy sent by a demo
cratic president several years ago
whom he said got drunk at El Paso
and painted a broad red streak down
to the city of Mexico 1000 miles to
the south He also told of a con
sular official who he said some ypars
ago pawned the American flag for 40
cents with which to buy a drink The
concluding cnapter of his arraignment
was that the charge that an American
vice consul had been charged with
being implicated in the theft of some
coal
Mr Adams Pa a member of the

Rus8oll of Texas provides that citizens

HOLD RECEPTION
Indianapolis Does Honor to President
Mitchell
INDIANAPOLIS Ind The four
teenth annual convention of the United
Mine Workers of America opened
here at 10 oclock Every train brought
delegates from every part of tho
United States President Mitchell ar
rived shortly after 4 oclock and was
taken immediately to his hotel The
delegates from the western and south
ern states have arrived Other delega
tions which arrived were one from
Pittsburg headed by Pat Dolan and
Uriah Belllngham with seventy dele-
Francis S Davidson Ninth cavalry gates the anthracite delegates
bered over 100 men the Ohio delega
tion headed by the officers of that
state and 200 delegates The Ten
nessee delegation has also arrived
with many delegates headed by tho
officers of that district
President Mitchell was met at
Greenfield by a reception committee
representing the Central Labor union
of Indianapolis John J Appel August
Kuhn and Mortimer Levering repre
senting the citizens and Ell Illrsch
hurg and Gus W Kevers of the Elks
At the time the committee boarded
the train President Mitchell was at
luncheon but left the table long
enough to meet the committee Ho
was met at the depot by carriages
and with the committee was taken
to his hotel where he held an Informal
reception for a number of his personal
friends
Tho crowd which assembled at tho
depot to welcome him was very large
The evening was raw and cold and the
train was nearly an hour late but
notwithstanding these drawbacks the
people waited When Mr Mitchell
appeared he was greeted with cheers
which continued until he had left his
carriage and entered the hotel It was
expected by the persons who assem
bled that he would be accompanied by
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor Mr Gompers did
not arrive however and probably
will not find it possible to attend the
convention at all Those who accom
panied Mr Mitchell were Prof Frank
Warne instructor of political economy
of the Universtiy of Pennsylvania and
Harry S Kefiington of the Boot and
Shoe Makers union Others who ar
rived on the same train and traveled
with Mr Mitchell the greater part of
the journey were John Fahey presi
dent of district No 9 of the anthracite
workers President W H Ilaskins
Vice President D H Sullivan and
Secretary Treasurer G W Savage of
the Ohio Mine Workers union
After the arrival of the president at
the hotel many of the delegates or
ganizers and officers called to welcome
him and to extend their greetings At
C oclock a dinner was served in the
ordinary at the hotel for Mr
Mitchell and the reception committte
After dinner John Feltman who act
ed as toastmaster called upon Presi
dent Levering of the Columbia Na
tional bank to welcome President
Mitchell
John L Feltman president of the
Central Labor union called upon Mr
Mitchell
Mr Mitchell said in part
To live up to the measure that
has been set for me by the people of
the United States is indeed a diffi
cult one The greater number are
prone to believe that a man whose
name has appeared in the press daily
for the past few months and whose
picture has been printed in the news
papers from one coast to the other is
a great orator To be a great orator
and to be able to make eloquent ut
terances has always been my wish
I am just a plain talker
I have perhaps been honored by
organizations of labor as much or
more than any one of its many lead
ers today Whether I deserve theaa
honors or not I cannot say I have
tried to do my duty toward the men
who have chosen me a3 their leader
and I have striven hard for them
I heartily thank the people of In-
foreign affairs committee said he was j dianapolis for the cordial wefcome
glad the question of reforming our they nave extended me I believe
consular service was attracting that tney have the r5ght conception
lion un a puuic ui uruer maiu uy
Mr McClellan the provision for a
secretary of legation to Switzerland
was stricken out
Mr Grosvenor 0 denounced some i
of the statements made earlier in the
day as slanders on our consular serv
ice He declared that they were not
justified and that he was prepared to
prove by the opinions of leading Amer
icans abroad that the Americans had
the best consular service in the world
The bill was then passed and the
house took up the District of Columbia
bill It carries 766S444 being SS4
474 less than the appropritaion for the
current year and 325923 less than
the estimates Half the bill was read
and at 505 the house adjourned
ot the purpose of organized labor
The majority of them believe differ
ently than they did five years ago
when the unions of the country were
blamed wholly for the many strikes
and lockouts in factories and in tho
coal fields
I am not here to speak of the mer
its of the controversy between the
operators and miners in the anthra
cite fields Strikes and lockouts how
ever are foreign to the purposes of
organized labor I do not believe in
strikes I regard them as horrible and
the creators of suffering But I do
believe that the laboring men of tho
country should never surrender the
right to strike and to protect them
selves against organized capital
