A Pretty New York Woman’s Recovery the Talk ot Her Numerous Friends. Mrs. J. K. Finn, r»2 Hast High street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes : Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio Gentlemen:—“A few years ago 1 had to give up social life entirely, as my health was completely broken down. The doctor advised a com plete rest for a year. As this was out of the question for a time, I be gan to look for some other means of restoring my health. "/had often heard of Peruna as an excellent tonic, so / bought a bot tle to see what it would do for me, and it certainly took hold of my system and rejuvenated me, and in less than two months / was in per fect health, and now when / feel worn out or tired a dose or two of Peruna is all that 1 need.''—Mrs. f. E. Finn. Catarrh Causes Female Diseases. America is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease. By far the great est number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh. These women despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the wav of recovery is that they do not under stand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness. In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

ENID, OKLAHOMA, IS VICTIM Waters Rush Upon the People While They are Sleeping—Lose All Their Belongings and Are Glad to Escape With Their Lives. ENID, Okla—Hundreds of persons were rendered homeless and property damage estimated at $300,000 was done in the Enid bottoms alone by the cloudburst Chat struck west of this city at midnight Saturday night. The aggregate damage will doubtless be raised much higher by losses sus tained between Enid and the seat of the storm. At 12 o’clock a bank of water three feet high and 200 feet wide swept down through the bot toms, carrying houses and every thing before it. It came down upon Enid without warning while most of its citizens were asleep. Within a few minutes 100 houses were partly or completely submerged. Rescuers went to work immediately and all night labored industriously saving per sons from perilous positions and aid ing those driven from their hom6s. It was found that several hundred were homeless. WHAT THE TREATY CONTAINS. Some of the Features of the Cuban Agreement. WASHINGTON.—These provisions, among others, are succinctly stated in the Cuban contract: “Cuba is never to enter Into any treaty or other compact with any for eign power which will impair or tend to impair its Independence. The gov ernment is not to assume nor contract any public debt to pay the interest upon which and to make reasonable sinking fund provision for the ulti mate payment of which the revenue of the island, after paying the gov ernment expenses, shall be inade quate. “Cuba consents that the United States may intervene for the preserva tion of the Cuban independence. Cuba ratifies all acts of the United States in Cuba during the military, occupa tion. Cuba will make provision for the sanitation of the cities of the island to the end that a recurrence oi epidemic and infectious diseases may be pievented.” MAY EFFECT CANAL TREATY. Doubt About What Effect Ministerial Crisis Will Have. WASHINGTON—Whether the min isterial crisis in Colombia, as reported by United States Minister Beaubre, will have any important bearing on the ratification of the Isthmian canal treaty is not known here. Fernandez, the minister of government, (more specifically known locally as the min ister of the interior), who resigned, was virtually the premier of the gov ernment. The office filled by him cor responds in many respects to that of secretary of state in the United States. Statements have been made to the ef fect that he was opposed to the of ficial declaration of peace in Colom bia, holding that it was still under martial law. If Colombia were under martial law its president could exer cise the dictatorial powers vested in him by the constitution and ]f he chose ratify the canal treaty by his own act without submitting it to the consideration of congress, whose posi tion on the subject is still doubtful. Same Terms as United States. WASHINGTON.—Great Britain has decided to accord China the same I terms in the settlement in the Boxer indemnity as those accepted by the United States. The state department has been informed that the English charge at Peking has signified the willingness of his government to ac cept payment on a silver basis for a term of years, serving of under bond the right to receive payment of any • deficiency that might exist should it ! hereafter bo decided that the pay ■ ments should have been made on a > gold basis. This very much strength ens ihe attitude of the United States. Itch Grows on Kansas Stock.

C.—The com missioner of Indian affairs has beet* 3' informed by the Indian agent at the e Quapaw agency in Indian territory n that most of the forty-seven Modoc i- Indians who constitute the remnant i- of the tribe which in 1876 perpetrated the massacre at the lava beds, are ■e preparing to leave for their old home [1~ on the Klamath reservation in Oregon. * The Indians give as a reason their preference for the Pacific coast. miuiy jjumuit? bubucs wnc hhucoo ed as the people stood around waiting for the water to subside. Many had lost everything they possessed. The citizens are busily engaged relieving the distress but the means at hand are inadequate. The rainfall the past ten days has been the heaviest in the history of Okahoma, and indications are that more will follow. Reports of losses in the country west of Enid are meagre, but it is believed that heavy damage was done. GUTHRIE, Akla. — Early Sunday this vicinity was visited by another deluge, making the twenty-fourth con secutive day of rain. The Cimarron and Cottonwood rivers are now at the danger point. A tornado struck Foss, a town on the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad at 5 o'clock Sunday morning, completely destroyed thir teen residences and wrecking many outhouses.

THEIR SIGNATURES ARE PLACED All Provisions of Platt Amendment Are Incorporated—Objections Made Are All Overcome—An Urgent Mes sage from President Palma. HAVANA—The permanent treaty between the United States and Cuba, in which is incorporated all the provi sions of the Platt amendment, was signed Friday afternoon. The signing of the treaty took place at 4:30 at the office of the secretary of state. The signers were Secretary of State Zaldo and United States Min ister Squiers, who constituted special plenipotentiaries for that purpose. Se nor Zaldo and Mr. Squiers simply met, accompanied by their secretaries, and the signing was accomplished and cop ies of the treaty exchanged within a few minutes. The permanent treaty contains no provision for its abrogation and no extraneous conditions of any kind. It simply incorporates the entire Platt amendment into the form of a treaty. The length of time consumed by the negotiations was principally due to the fact that the Cuban government desired to include in the treaty vari ous extraneous conditions, especially one to the effect that there should be no intervention into Cuban affairs by the United States, except through the intervention of the United States. All these conditions were rejected. I ne Absunairu nt*»s uuncayuuucui saw a number of senators with re spect to the ratification of the naval stations treaties during this session of congress, but they were not in clined to be communicative. It re mains evident that there is a tendency to allow the treaties to go over this session. An urgent message from President Palma, which will accompany the sending of the treaty to the senate, will have a strong effect. Senor Sanguilly, the most active op ponent of the treaties with the Uni ted States, said he would oppose the permanent treaty, because under it the United States, being the stronger power, could itself decide when inter vention was desirable, regardless of the wishes of Cuba. Other senators say that the paragraph relating to the Isle of Pines should have been eliminated. It is now expected that an agree ment covering the details of the Uni ted States naval stations will be reach ed by President Palma and Unitea States Minister Squiers within threo weeks. MEET DEATH IN THE FLOOD. Three Persons Are Drowned at Sterling. TECUMSEH, Neb.—Four inches of rain in two hours Friday night has thrown the Nemaha river out of its banks and the ruins of spring-planted crops are now rushing down the cur rent. At Sterling, a few miles above here, a family of three, consisting of a mother, brother and child, were drowned while attempting to ford a torrent trom the hillsides. Two of the bodies have been recovered. The bot tom lands are all under water, while the hill lands are washed bare and a large per cent of the corn will have to be replanted. The Burlington re ports several small washouts, but not so serious as to impede traffic. The river is now falling, but another se vere rain threatens to do more dam age. Death to Be the Penalty. SAN JUAN, P. R.—In the Humaeao district court of first degree Pedro Diaz was convicted of murder during a political riot at Humaeao last Au gust m killing a boy named Octavio Reyes.

There's an old superstition that a J howling dog in front of the house of an ill person portends death. One prominent physician believes absolute ly in it. The physician has a wonder fully acute sense of smell. Frequent ly, he says, he can foretell the coming of deatn within twenty-four hours of the patient’s demise. Within two days of death, he says, a peculiar earthy odor becomes noticable about a per son about to die. He tells of one case where he became aware of the peculiar odor while talking to an apparently healthy man. That night the man dropped dead of heart disease. The physician is far from attributing ,_e peculiar manifestation to other than physiological reasons. His own sense of smell is abnormally acute. FIY* permanently eureii.

D„ Omaha, Neb. How Mark Twain Proposed. Mrs. Samuel Clemens was Miss Olivia Langdon. For some years be fore she met Mr. Clemens, she had been confined to her bed with what was believed to be an incurable dis ease; but she was at length miracu lously restored to health. The cure was the sensation of Elmira, N. Y., and young clemens, then a newspaper reporter, was sent there to interview Miss Langdon on her recovery. He obtained the interview for his news paper, and brought back impressions of more value to himsen. Miss Lang don’s parents were at first strongly op posed to the young newspaper man. and, for his part, his timidity, so it is solemnly said, stood in the way of' the progress of his suit. But finally he screwed up courage to speak to Mr. Langdon, and one morning timidly entered his future father-in-law’s pri vate office, where that man was seat ed at work. “Mr. Langdon—have you —noticed anything — between—your daughter—and—-me?” “No,” shouted the objecting parent, wheeling sharply around so as to get a full view of his visitor. “Well,” said the young man, as he turned to the door, ready for instant flight, "if you—keep—a—sharp —lookout—you—WILL! ” ARE YOUR CLOTHES FADED?

Adage Judicially Affirmed. In a lecture delivered to students of Columbus university, Judge Cox of the United States circuit court, told of a young lawyer who came before the supreme court to argue a case in which he was also defendant. Ad i-.essing the court, he referred to the old French adage declaring that he who argues his own case has a fool for a client. After the case had been heard he left for his home in St. Louis, asking a friend to notify him by wire when the decision was handed down. This was the pithy telegram he re ceived; “Old French adage affirmed.” Defiance Starch is put up 16 ounces in a package, 10 cents. One-third more starch for the same money. “Money” in Abyssinia. The Emperor Menelek has had a curious experience in his efforts to replace barter by a metallic currency in Abyssinia. The Maria Theresa tha ler has for generations been current, but for want of a smaller coinage salt blocks became the standard of ex change and resisted all efforts, even of the emperor, to replace them by a new currency coined in Paris some years ago. The salt blocks have given way, but not to the new coinage, which the people will not touch. The new standard of values is—the rifle cart ridge. If you wish beautiful, clear, white clothes use Re
