WASHINGTON, April 30. (Special Tele
jtram.) Senator Dietrich, when In Wash
ington last week, presented to the commis
sioner ot Indian affairs a petition signed
by citizens ot Genoa, Neb., asking that the
work of constructing the new buildings
provided tor In the Indian appropriation
bill be pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. Senator Dietrich bore down upon
the fact that the school under the present
management was giving excellent satisfac
tion and that the dtsscntlons that had al
most rendered the school valueless had
passed away under the new regime; there
fore he desired Immediate action taken
along the lines of the petition signed by
the citizens of Genoa.
Today Acting Commissioner Tonner re
piled to the verbal request of Senator
Dietrich by letter, stating that his wishes
would be compiled with and that It had been
ascertained that $30,000 was Immediately
available for the purpose of erecting a main
building at the school and that plans and
specifications had been agreed upon. It is
understood bids will be invited In a short
time for the construction of tho buildings
decided upon by the Indian office.

decided this case were Influenced by the
fact that the victim was a wealthy man Is
a plausible theory, based upon frequently

of note that no attempt was made by the
defense to prove that there bad been no
kidnaping. There was an effort, on the
other band, to show that there had been
no extortion. Inasmuch as the ransom was
paid by one who was not In personal Jeop-

for I had such r. backache and could hardly
stand on my feet at all. Beside, I was so
tired all the time. My face was spotted
and feel all right before I finish one
of Peruna and was soon real well. When
I feel tired and all run down I take Peruna
and reel all right again belore I finish one
bottle. I know It Is a wonderful medicine,
and both myself nnd husband nralse Pa-
