CAPITOL BUILDINC, SALi
I Letter From the Executive
Pe-ru-na is Known from tne Atlantic to
the Pacific. 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.

Sai.km, May 9, 1898.
I'ho Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus,
Dear Sirs—I have bad occasion to use your
^e-ru-na medicine in my family for colds,and
t proved to tie an excellent remedy. 1 have
lot had occasion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, . W. M. Lord.
It will tie noticed that the (lovernoy says
■e has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
■ther ailments. The reason for this is, most
ither ailments begin with a cold. Using
’e-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
iD family against othsr ailments. Thlsisex
ictly what every other family in the United
Itates should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
louse. Uso it for coughs, Isolds, la grippe,
ind other climatic affections of winter, and
here will lie no other ailments in the house.
Inch families should provide themselves
with a cony of Dr. Hartman's free book,
intttled “Winter Catarrh.” Address Dr.
dartman, Columbus, Ohio.

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

Scots Greys Meet Reverse,
LONDON. Feb. 21.—A detachment

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

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.

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."

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

it Havana, and the New York board
if health has formally adopted the the
ory that the germs of malarial fever

Heatley Hopes to Get Even.
Dr. George W. Heatley, a wealth -

His neighbors refused to sell and like
wise refused to buy his property. Now
he has a large sign on the front of his

Dr. A. Kuyper, the new premier of
