Letters of congratulation ami commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-nu as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every Ntate in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of letters , daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, ■ the clerk, the editor, the statesman, tiie preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the 1 catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognising catarrh as their great ost enemy, are especially enthusiastic In I their praise and testimony. • < Any man who wishes jierfect health must i lie entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is I well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. I Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard i known. A cold Is the boginning of catarrh. I To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat I catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not i only cures catarrh, hut prevents. Kvery i household should lie supplied with this great I remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent i admirer o^Pe-ru-na. He keeps it contina my in tne nouse. in a recent letter to nr. dartman he says: State of Oregon. Executive Department, Sai.km, May 9, 1898.

Ga ^ Thompson’s Eye Wafti MISS STONE HELD RANSOM PAID OVER BUT NO DE LIVERY AS YET. WRATH FELT AT. WASHINGTON Failure of the Bandits to Keep Faith is the Cause—Uncle 3am will Sanc tion No Further Negotiations with the Brigands. WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 22.—It is estimated at the state department that fifteen days have now elapsed since the money for Miss Stone’s ran som was paid over to the agents of the hi igands. At least five days have elapsed be yond the time fixed in the stipulation to place her in the hands of her friends. There is no explanation of the delay. It is hoped that physical conditions, such as heavy snows and adverse weather, may account for the failure to secure her delivery. The of ficials are loath to believe that there has been a breach of faith on the part of the brigands, but even if this were so they do not regard themselves as blameworthy for having trusted them. From the first the United States gov ernment has been adverse to paying ransom, but In response to appeals from every quarter reluctantly author ised Mr. Leishman to deal with the brigands. However, if it turns out that the brigands have broken faith and that they have either taken the ran som money and spirited the captives away again, or that they have killed them, then there will he no further at tempt to deal with the brigands on the part of the United States government, but its entire power will be directed upon Turkey and upon Bulgaria to pro cure the swift and complete extermina tion of the brigand?, regardless of cost or effort. LORD PAUNCEFOTE IS HAPPY. Isthmian Canal Treaty is Favorably Ratified. WASHINGTON, Keb. 22.—Final rat ifications of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty giving England's assent to the con struction of a canal across Central America by the United States werd exchanged at the state department at 8 o'clock this afternoon. There was very little ceremony about the ex change. Copies of the treaty had been prepared precisely similar, ex cept that in fact the signatures were inverted in one copy, and these were formally exchanged between Lord Pauncefote and Secretary Hay, a pro tocol being signed formally attesting to that fact, which will form part of the records. Lord Pauncefote was in the best hu mor over the successful outcome of the labors of himself and Mr. Hay. He regards the treaty as one which will do much to prevent friction In tho future between the two peoples. It has been suggested that with the completion of this great work the British government might regard Lord Pauncefote's services as ended, but it is learned that this is not the case. Lord Lansdowne, the secretary of foreign affairs, has signified to Lord Pauncefote his desire that he shall remain in Washington for an indefi nite period. DESCRIBES THE WATER CURE. Funston Denies that Officers Counte nanced Its Application. KANSAS CITY. Feh. 22.—Genera! Frederick Funston, in discussing the “water cure,” a form of torture charg ed against the soldiers in the Philip pines. said that he had never seen the “water cure" applied, but he had heard it described. “The victim is bound and a canteen forced into his mouth,” said the general. His head is thrown upward and back and his nose grasped by the fingers of the torturer. Strangulation follows as a matter of course. When the victim is about suffocated the application is re leased and he is given a Chance to talk on recovery or take another dose of It. The operation is brutal beyond a doubt, but hardly fatal. “The charge which I have just re futed at the request of the war depart ment was most vague. It was made by 'a soldier' and to the effect that he had ‘helped administer the water cure to 160 natives.' That is the kind of rot a soldier is apt to write home when business is dull and he has three or four beers under his jacket to help his imagination. Nothing of the kind ever occurred with the knowledge of the officers or ever occurred at all, for that matter." Acquitted of Murder Charge. DENVER. Feb. 22.—W. P. Flanders of Lyons. Colo., who has been on trial here for the murder of Mrs. Nellie Hardifer, was acquitted by order of the court. The charge was that the two had decided to die together and that Flanders administered the poi son to the woman and to himself. The court decided that the evidence was insufficient. The woman died, but Flan ders recovered. Mrs. Hardifer was the wife of a Denver contractor. SICKNESS DUE TO EXPOSURE. Soldiers in the Philippines Fail to Ob serve Sanitary Rules. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Governor Taft continued to discuss the climatic conditions in the Philippines today be fore the senate Philippine committee. Reverting to what he had said yester day concerning the health of the American troops in the Philippines, Governor Taft said that much of the sickness that does exist was due to exposure and he incidentally made an appeal for liberal appropriations for the construction of barracks for the protection of officers and men. The witness thought the high death rate of troops in the Philippines was not due to guerilla warfare, saying that it was impossible to get soldiers to observe the laws of hygiene. His ex perience, Governor Taft said, was that the greatest danger in the matter of health in the Philippines is found in the neglect of symptoms which are not generally regarded as of importance in the United States. He knew, he said, of Europeans who had spent thirty or forty years in the islands and who are in good health. He thought, however, that they gen erally left the islands for several months every two or three years. As a rule a continued residence had the *»fPrtf pauninir a crnriunl /laf orinm tlon of health. Governor Taft said he attributed his own loss of health to lack of exercise. He referred to the prevalence of private diseases and said that certain precautions had been taken by the medical authorities in the way of supervision which was thought necessary for the protection of the troops and the public. EFFECT OF PRINCE’S VISIT. Revival of Cordiality is Predicted by German Paper. BERLIN, Feb. 21.—'The Kreuz Zei tung, concluding a column survey of the relations between Germany and the United States, says: “The royal attitude of Germany at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war has just been proved. If the sympathies of the German people were then with Spain the explanation Is that ideal trait of the German character which causes Germans to sympathize with the weaker party in a fight. But we have long since got ten over that. Sharp conflicts of in terest exist between Germany and the United States. These, however, are not political, but are confined to eco nomic matters. Perhaps a way has at last been found which renders possi ble a settlement of these conflicts. Perhaps the visit of Prince Henry will give occasion to this end. At any rate much will be gained if this visit reawakens a lively consciousness of the traditional friendly relations among the rulers and the people of both nations. It will also remove the misunderstandings which the sensa tional press has created and nourish ed. Prince Henry’s visit will certainly clear the atmosphere, improve the re lation and revivify the cordiality which has always existed between the two governments.” It will be remembered that the Kreuz Zeitung was one of the most hostile critics of the United States in 1898, which attitude it has since main tained. __* Treaty in Hands of Congress. WILLEMSTAD, island of Curacoa, Feb. 21.—The Venezuelan congress convened this evening in the federal palace at Caracas. The presidential message was not delivered to con gress. The agreement signed yester day in Paris by the French minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse, and the Venezuelan plenipotentiary, which forms a basis for the resumption of diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela, is subject to ratifica tion. Tries to Open Crow Lands. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21—Senator Clark of Montana from the senate committee on military affairs reported favorably the bill for the ratification of the treaty with the Crow Indians for the cession and opening to settle ment of about 1,000,000 acres of their reservation in Montana. No Raise for Ellen. LINCOLN. Neb., Feb. 21—The board of regents has declined to grant an increase in salary for Miss Ellen Smith, who for fifteen years has been university registrar. She requested that her wages be made $75 a month. Continues to Improve. GROTON. Mass.. Feb. 21—Young Theodore Roosevelt has continued to improve today and it is hoped he will be able to sit up tomorrow. Scots Greys Meet Reverse, LONDON. Feb. 21.—A detachment of Scots Greys (Second dragoons), one of Great Britain’s crack dragoon regiments, has been cut up by the Boers at Klipdam. Major C. W. M. Feilden and Captain E. Ussher were severely wounded, two men were kill ed, six were wounded and forty-six captured. The'news was received this morning from Lord Kitchener, in a dispatch dated Pretoria, Wednesday, February 19. IS STILJJAPTIVE MISS STONE BELIVED TO BE YET IN BONDAGE. AMERICAN OFFICIALS ALARMEO The Delay in Release Arouses Appre hension—Brother of the Missionary Anxiously Awaiting—Teilka’s Com plicity is Doubted. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—The stato department’s advices concerning Miss Stone indicate that the Paris publica tion to the effect that she had been set at liberty is, to say the least, pre mature. It is gathered, however, from the reports of the United States diplo matic agents that the woman is likely to be released very soon and that the delay is explained by the requirement of the brigands that they be given am ple opportunity to insure their safety. LONDON, Feb. 20—A dispatch from Seres, European Turkey, to the Daily Telegram says that W. W. Peet, treas urer of the American mission at Con stantinople, has gone to that city and that. N. Garguilo. dragoman of the American legation at Constantinople, and Dr. House, the missionary, who are still at Seres, are growing very anxious at the delay in the release or the captives, which was expected a week ago. The Turkish government declines responsibility for the matter, says the dispatch, as the transaction with the brigands was made without its knowledge. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 20—The reports of the release of Miss Stone are absolutely without foundation, al though her liberation is expected mo mentarily. BOSTON, Feb. 20.—No word from Treasurer Peet of the headquarters of the American board of foreign mis sions at Constantinople has come to the board here announcing the release by the brigands of Miss Ellen M. Stone, and the officials have been in commun ication with the state department in Washington in a vain effort to confirm the story published in Paris that Miss Stone and her companion had been de livered to the officials of the American legation at Constantinople. Rev. Dr. Judson Smith, secretary of the board, said: “We expect that the moment au thentic news is known in Constantino ple that Miss Stone has been delivered over we shall receive word of it from Mr. Peet.” Concerning the arrest of Rev. Mr. Tsilita, husband of Miss Stone’s com panion in captivity, on the ground of complicity in the abduction of Miss Stone and his wife, Samuel B. Capen, president of the American board, said: “I know absolutely nothing about it. I would not be surprised if it were true that he was arrested, but I don’t be lieve there is a particle of truth in the charge that he was implicated in the abduction.” Charles A. Stone, brother of the cap tive missionary, also had received no Information about the release. He said: "I expect news that she is released. I am expecting a cablegram at any mo ment. It may come from my sister personally, or It may come from some ons authorised by her to send it. I think that if she has been released I, as well as the American board, would hear as quickly as would the news papers, and perhaps quicker. I fear that perhaps the newspaper corre spondents took it for granted that she was released, knowing the time exact ed for her liberation after the ransom had been paid.” TROOPS PATROL BARCELONA. Conflicts Occur Between Them and the Populace. BARCELONA, Feb. 20—Two addi tional regiments of infantry arrived here this morning and the city now bristles with bayonets. Troops are incessantly patrolling the streets, oc casionally charging and dispersing mobs. Shots were exchanged. The rioters erected barricades in one of the suburbs and the troops carried them at. the point of the bayonet. The casualty list is lengthened by every conflict. Industrial and commercial life in Barcelona is paralyzed. No goods arrived here yesterday and there is groat scarcity of meat, bread and other foodstuffs. The university and all the schools arc closed. The leaders of the work men's conventions have been arrest ed and the meeting places have been closed. Teresa Claramunt Is among the anarchists imprisoned. Wants Son Back in School. TOPEKA. Kan., Feb. 20.—J. B. Bil lard brought suit in the district court to compel the Board of Education to restore his son to membership in the public schools. Yo^ng Billard had been expelled for refusing to desist from his studies during the devo tional exercises in the morning. The suit brought by Billard is the result of an organized effort to stop the use of the bible in the schools of the city of Topeka. A WESTERN JANADA FARMER. SEVEN YEARS AGO HE HAD BUT $24; NOW HE HAS SEVENTY HEAD OF CATTLE. This Is What a Couple of Eastern Farmers Learned When on a Recent Trip to Canada—Splendid Words About Saskatoon, Rosthern and Hague Dis trict Where They Will Locate. Messrs. J. E. Blum and J. Crumper of Manchester, Washtenaw County. Michigan, paid a visit to Alberta last summer and saw there a Mr. Sliantz. one of the good old Pennsylvania stock, who had come recently—some seven years ago—from Ontario with I2t In his pocket. He has certainly prospered, as he now has over seventy head of cattle, has a good loghouse framed over; also a good barn, and in ill respects looks a thrifty and well to-do farmer. He had some good trops of oats and barley. After spend ing some days In Calgary and Ed monton they returned to Regina, As sinibola. and looked around the coun try north to I.umsden and Balgonie, where the crops appeared very prom ising and heavy; continuing up the Regina and Long Lake road they came o Saskatoon on the crossing of the 3outh Saskatchewan River. Of this listrtct they say: “The country here pleased us better ‘han any we have seen. We drove out iighteen miles In a northwesterly di rection through the Smith settlement, rhis is a wonderful district; the growth was splendid; all kinds of grains and roots were perfection. The plder settlers had good buildings of ill kinds and looked very prosperous;1 n fact, we came to the conclusion that we had found what we were looking for, a good country. While the nature >f the soil changes and is in some parts light, in others stony, and again leavy, generally speaking it leaves lothing to be desired. Hay and water ire also in abundance and wood can ie found along the river slopes and islands. We have decided to locate there and shall certainly advise our friends to do likewise. We also trust that this report may have the effect of Irawing the attention of land seekers to this district, and can honestly ad irise all such to locate there. They will find a good thing As farmers ourselves, from a good district in Michigan, we have come to the con- • ;lusion that, properly farmed, western Canada will grow almost anything." \slc for information from any agent of the Canadian government. A Revolutionary Age. Soulless corporations, heartless co juettes, and conscienceless rascals of various sorts we have had with us oow these many years, and it looks /ery much now as if a kind of provi lence was about to even things up a ittle by providing us with such use :ul contrivances as wireless teleg raphy, heatleBS light, smokeless pow ier, boneless shad, and seedless or mges. If some genius will rise up oow and give us a breed of biteless logs and stingless mosquitoes, togeth er with some loseless umbrellas and opendless cash, we shall all be happy ind content.—Leslie’s Weekly. What the Track Costa. Few persons know that on a railway line like the Santa Fe it costs nearly os much to renew ties ($935,000 year ly) as is -paid to station agents and station clerks; that the annual repairs of roadway and track ($2,350,000) ex reed the salaries of trainmen and traf fic clerks; that the renewal of rails ($626,000) costs almost as much as the telegraph service; that watchmen and track-walkers draw nearly as much money ($137,000) as Is paid out for stationery and printing; that the item of rail fastenings ($250,000 a year) exceeds the expense of legal service. But it pays to have the track just right.. A Collegian as a Rivet Maker. Henry Chisholm, of Cleveland, a graduate of Yale, is working in the rivet works owned by his millionaire lather in the Ohio city and earns $1.75 l day. Young Chisholm does not make-believe work, but is always on iuty at 7 o’clock in the morning, his leterminatiom being to learn rivet making thoroughly. He does not agree with Schwab, the steel trust man, that education is a bar to progress in .man ifacturing. Now They Say He Makes Lepers. Recognition of the mosquito’s mis diief-making is extending. The theorv las been promulgated at Paris that me anopheles species propagates vari ous kinds of diseases, including lep osy. Its agency in the spread of yel ow fever has been generally accepted it Havana, and the New York board if health has formally adopted the the ory that the germs of malarial fever ire carried by the mosquito. Heatley Hopes to Get Even. Dr. George W. Heatley, a wealth - retired dentist of Brooklyn, wished ti> buy some property adjoining his hand some residence in South Elliott place. His neighbors refused to sell and like wise refused to buy his property. Now he has a large sign on the front of his house offering $500 to any real estate igent. who will sell the place "to ne groes only.” The street is one of the most exclusive in Brooklyn. Wilhelmina's Premier. Dr. A. Kuyper, the new premier of Holland, is one of the broadest minded and strongest intellectual forces of Queen Wilhelmina's domain. He was made an LI.. D. of Princeton university in 1898. and it was through his influ ence that a free university, uncon. trolled by the state, was founded in Amsterdam some years ago. A Governor’s Start.
