Assemblyman Tight’s letter should
be read by every brain worker leading
a strenuous life.
Hon. John Tighe, No. 98 Remsen St.,
Cohoes, N. Y„ Member of Assembly
from the Fourth district, Albany county,
N. Y., writes as follows:
“Peruna has my hearty indorsement
as a restorative tonic of superior merit
At times when I have been completely
broken down from excess of work, sc
that my faculties seemed actually at a
standstill, Peruna has acted as a healing
restorer, starting the machinery of mind
and body afresh with new life and
energy.
"1 recommend it to a man tired in
mind and body as a tonic superior te
anything I know of and well worthy
serious consideration.”—J. Tighe.
Excess of work so common in out
country causes impaired nerves, leading
to catarrh and catarrhal nervousness—
a disease that is responsible for half ol
all nervous troubles.
Peruna cures this trouble because it
cures catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna.
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
lull statement of your case, and he will
lie pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

CLEARING HOUSE FOR INDIANS.
Agent at Muskogee Handles More Than
$1,000,000 a Year of Tribal Money.
Kansas City Journal: A vast amount
of business passes through the Union
Indian agency at Muskogee, Indian
Territory, every day. Fentress Wis
dom, clerk in charge of the agency,
says that it is now sending out an
average of 600 letters a day and re
ceiving fully as many. Some weeks
as high as 4,000 letters are sent out.
The Indian agency performs many of
the functions of a big bank or clear
ing house. It is estimated that more
than $1,000,000 passes through the
hands of the Indian agent each year,
some of which he handles twice. This
does not include money paid out for
salaries or running expenses of the
agency, but merely the funds which
are Intrusted to him arising from tribal
revenues.
Mr. Wisdom estimates that the
agency at Muskogee handles as much
business as all the other Indian
agencies in the United States combin
ed. It handles the finances of five of
the most powerful and highly civilized
of Indian tribes, Borne of which are
Immensely wealthy and none of them
lacking revenues.
In the Choctaw and Chickasaw na
tions the common funds of the two
tribes receive big revenues from the
coal and asphalt lands, as well as from
the oil and gas fields. These revenues
arise largely from leases and royalties.
They are placed in the hands of the
Indian agent to go Into the educational
funds of the two nations. Vast sums
of money also flow into the coffers of
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
from the sale of town sites and town
lots. This year nearly $1,000,600 has
been placed to the credit of the Indian
agent to be paid per capita to the citi
zens of the two nations. A large ad
ditional sum will be placed to the
credit of these notions from the sale
of segregated coal lands, which will be
distributed by the Indian agent.
The heaviest revenues in the Creek
nation come from interest on bonds
representing loans to different states
and paying 4 and 6 per cent. Interest
annually. The nation receives $126,
000 interest annually on these bonds.
The revenues from mineral royalties
and the cattle tax in the Creek and
Cherokee nations pass through the
hands of the Indian agent, but instead
of being placed to the credit of the
nations collectively, the money is paid
out to individual citizens.
A continual stream of money orders
is coming into the Indian agent's of
fice every day, representing payments
upon town lots which have been pur
chased by individuals after the town
site appraisements have been made. So
many of these come through the
Muskogee postofllce at times that the
postmaster runs out of money with
which to cash them, and has to
suspend payment temporarily until he
can send out and replenish his ready
cash.

Railway Rate Legislation.
At the biennial convention of the Or
der of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Ore., resolutions were
unanimously adopted voicing their sen
timents as to the effect of proposed
railway rate legislation on the 1,300,
000 railroad employes, whom they in
past represented. These resolutions
•“Indorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other Illegalities, and commend the
attitude of the heads of American rail
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the President on this
Question.” They then respectfully
point out to Congress the “inadvisabili
ty of legislation vesting in the hands
of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country,” be
cause such regulation would “result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the question of the abil
ity of the railroads to stand the reduc
tion, especially in view of the increased
cost of their supplies and materials.”
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter
state Commission because “the pro
posed legislation is not in harmony
with our idea of American jurispru
dence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try, condemn and
then enfoiee its decisions at the cost
of the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manifestly inequitable.”
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would “secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned” on the ground that
the low cost of transportation “is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among em
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employes obtain.”
In pressing their claim against legis
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that “the freight
rates of this country average only 2
per cent of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight rate
so insignificant a factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all parts
of the country.” Adv.
A New Hollyhock.
Garden Magazine: The announce
ment made last year that hollyhock
had been secured which would bloom
the first year from seed created con
siderable stir in the floral world, and
a season's trial of the new strain shows
that although still far from perfection
it is almost, if not quite, an epoch
making novelty In floriculture. The
new strain has been called "Ever
bloom Hollyhocks” because, under the
; most favorable conditions it will give
a succession of flowers from July un
i til frost. The seeds must be sown in
| doors from February to April, and if
; the seedlings are transplanted out
doors in May they will begin to flower
in July or August, depending upon
how early the seed was started. Gar
deners have even sowed seeds of these
hollyhocks outdoors in May and gotten
a few flowers in August. The Btrain is
new yet and naturally contains a good
many undesirable forms and colors.
To Keep Rid of Moths.
This is a season of the year when
provident housewives have all the
closets thoroughly renovated, as It la
the month in which the moths do their
work. Everything should be removed
from the closet, all boxes opened and
their contents carefully examined. Any
thing in the shape of wool must be
hung in the open for a few hours,
thoroughly brushed and wrapped up
in a clean piece of cloth, several moth
balls being inserted in the package.
Nothing is more wholesome for a closet
than calcimine.
It should be allowed to dry thor
oughly before the door Is closed.
Shelves and drawers should be remov
ed and thoroughly cleansed. It is even
better if possible to treat them to sev
eral coots of fresh paint, as there Is
nothing that kills moths or vermin
generally sooner than fresh paint.
In addition to this thorough clean
ing many housewives paint the crev
ices and seams in the floor with oil
of turpentine or with oil of cedar. But
these are really not necessary If moths
are not discovered in the closet.
This is. as well, the month to put
away winter clothes. Naturally, if the
pocketbook is a long one, valuable furs
of all kinds are sent either to a furrier
or to cold storage to be kept during the
warm months. It is, however, very
possible to take care of them at home
and run practically no chances of their
being destroyed by moths.
Each article should be thoroughly
aired and thoroughly brushed; in fact,
many times it will be found in the
end more economical if they are sent
to the cleaner’s or tailor’s and thor
oughly sponged, as dirt is the moths’
most certain means of subsistence.
In putting away fur-lined garments
or articles trimmed with fur, news
papers should be spread over the gar
ment so that when it Is folded no two
fur surfaces come in contact. A few
moth balls should be used, and the ar
ticle to be stored away wrapped in
paper or In close, coarse muslin. The
object is to exclude the air as well as
to hermetically the package so that
insects cannot enter into it.
THREE YEARS AFTER.
Eugene E. Lario, of 751 Twentieth
Avenue, ticket seller in the Union Sta«
tion, Denver, Colo., says: _
“You are at liberty to
repeat what I first stated
through our Denver papers
about Doan’s Kidney Pills
in the summer of 1899, for
I have had no reason in
the interim to change my
opinion of the remedy. I
was subject to severe at
tacks of backache, always
aggravated if I sat long at
a desk. Doan's Kidney
Pills absolutely stopped
my backache. I have nev
er had a pain or twinge j
since.” A

Color of Whisky and Its Aqe.
London World: A query about
Scotch whisky is. does color indicate
age? Theoretically it should; actually
it does not. Whisky is stored in cherry
casks to mature and takes color from
the wood. Sherry, however, covers a
wide range of shades, and a spirit
stored in a cask which had
held a pale variety would obviously
not be colored to the same extent as a
spirit stored for a like time in a cask
that had previously held a dark brown
wine, though as regards maturing both
w’ould be equally improved. The gen
eral public, however, could never be
made to understand that two bottles of
whisky differing in color were abso
lutely Identical in every essential
point, and therefore most brands main
tain a standard of color by means of a
harmless coloring ingredient, namely,
burned sugar.
NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Kejolcea in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indication
Thousands of sufferers know tht; the
reason why they are irritable and de
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the puzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges
tive organs, nud strength conies from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
“ They have been tny best doctor,” he
says. “ I was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. As the result of using eight
boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating.”
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills np the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.
Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of
Aix-les-Bains, France, bnt now resides
at No. 2480 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in tke treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nansea, pain ox
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner
vousness, insomnia, or any of the othei
miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Klls. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, ‘‘What to Eat and How te
Eat,” uray be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to th«
Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
N.Y. This valuable diet book oontainx
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure of ooastigatloa.
Don’t Poison Baby.
ITORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
* PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY win produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotio product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them “ poison.” The definition of11 narcotic ” is: “JL medicine which relieves pain
and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma-, convul
sions and death. ” The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised*
and sold under the names of “Drops,” “Cordials,” “Soothing Syrups,” etc. You
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON

Irish Soldier From Massachusetts Re
fused, Though Prisoner of War.
Boston Globe: A white haired,
elderly man stood in Doris hall at the
state house the other day intently gaz
ing at the battle flags of the Massa
chusetts regiments that fought to pre
serve the union from 1861 to 1865. He
lingered long and seemed to be greatly
interested in the torn and tattered
standards. A visitor noticed the man,
and, stepping up to him, said:
"You appear to be interested in
those flags?"
“I think I have a right to be, sir,"
replied the old gentleman. "That flag,"
said he, pointing to the shot-riddled
colors of the 19th regiment, "was cap
tured from me in front of Petersburg
by the rebels June 22, 1864. Thirty
years afterward, by an act of congress,
it was returned to the state, and I had
the honor of delivering it to the gov
ernor of the commonwealth."
“That’s remarkable,” said the visitor,
and the two fell to talking about the
stirring days of the war, and the dif
ferent engagements that the 19th regi
ment participated in. The color bearer
was Sergeant Michael Scanned, of
Lynn, who, although seventy-eight
years old, is hale and hearty, and is
known by every Grand Army man In
Kssex county. Little by little Scanned
was induced to tell the story of the
capture of the colors at Petersburg.
"We were brigaded with the 42d
New York and the 16th Massachu
setts,” said Sergeant Scanned, “and we
were ordered to advance. There was
evidently Borne mistake, as when we
moved out it left a gap that Gen. Ma
hone was quick to see and take ad
vantage of. Without any Idea of the
perilous position we occupied we mov
ed forward in the best of spirits.
“Quicker than it takes to say ’Jack
Robinson,' the rebs swooped down up
on us, and we were powerless to resist
capture. It was ad up with us, and
there was nothing to do but surrender.
A rebel officer rode up to me and, with
a long oath, demanded the colors. ’Give
me those colors, you yankee blankety
blankety blank,’ said he, with his gun
pointed at my head.
"I looked at him coolly and. straight
ening myself up, said: 'Sir. I have
been in this country nearly twenty
years, and you are the first man to
cad me a yankee. Take the colors.
You’re welcome to them.’ ’’
Scanned, with the rest of the regi
ment, was hustled off to Andersonvllle,
and spent nearly twelve months in
rebel prisons, suffering untold misery.
One duy while at Andersonvllle a rebel
officer came through shouting the name
of Sergeant Scanned.
“That's me,” replied Scanned. He
was ordered to make shoes for the
rebs, as he had been a shoemaker at
Haverhill before the war.
"Never!” said Scanned; "never!”
The rebel officer argued with him
and told him that he would get better
food and treatment if he went into
the shoe shop, and that he would have
a chance to recover from the scurvy
that had attacked him. But Scanned
was firm. “Never!" was the reply.
“Do you think that I am going to go
back on the flag of my adopted coun
try, and make shoes for rebs? Not
while I have my senses about me.”
Sergeant Scanned was one of a large
number of Irishmen in the old 19th
regiment.
