There is bat & single medicine which
la a radical specific for catarrh. It la
Peruna, which has stood a half century
test. It has cured thousands of cases of
catarrh. Ninety times in a hundred,
those who have been cured of catarrh by
Peruna thought they had soma other
disease.
Tho remedy to care catarrh must be
able to reach the mucous membranes,
and this is exactly what Peruna does.
Peruna operates at the fountain head.
Peruna producea normal, clean and rig
orous mucous membranes. Catarrh can
not remain in the system if Peruna is
used according to directions.

Robert L. Cochran, who is with the
H. H. Smith company and who, at
one time, was manager of the Post coal
department, took the stand. He tes
tified that ' the Post company never
owned a mine, but bought coal whe!
ever it could get it, chiefly from the
Enterprise mine. They paid $1.50 and
$1.55 a ton for lump coal and SO cents
freight. There were no rebates.
When they first got the output there
was from three to four cars a day,' but
in Increased so rapidly they couldn't
get cars enough to handle it. In spite
of frequent and prolonged "kicks" for
more cars they were not forthcoming.
"Did you make any inquiry," said
Senator Ward, "to find out whether
the railroad could furnish you moie
cars?"
"Yes, sir."
"What did you discover?"
"On several occasions I went to the
mines at I-afayette and found as much
as 100 empty, unusuad cars, within
two miles of our mine. I went to ev
erybody I could find connected with
the railway. One gentleman said they
'didn't care about our business, any
way. "
"Bat you didn't get your cars?"
"No, sir."
"Could the Northern get all the cars
it wanted?"
"Yes, sir."
"You were selling coal at $3.50 when
the Northern sold it for $4?"
"Yes, sir."
"How long did you keep that depart
ment open?"
"Nearly three years."
"Mr. Cannon conveyed the impres
sion that you lost money?"
"I would like to make the same cou

"What are your net profits?" ; , ;
"I should say 30 cents a ton." v
"Can a company make a profit on a
mine of the capacity of the Enterprise
at 30 cents a ton?', .
"I have always understood 25 cents
was a good profit."
"How did you come to stop selling
the product of the Enterprise?" ;
"The Northern company bought the
mine." , .
"Then what did you' do?" E
"Bought coal wherever we could."'
"Did any company ever try to un
dersell you?" t i-.
"The Northern said they couldn't
sell for less than $4. Then they put in
an office next to us and sold for $3 a
ton;. We purchased wherever wa
could, from the Northern and else
where and sold for 13.25 and then the
Post , advised everybody who could
store-coal to buy it at $3 and store ic
away." ' V- - .
"What did you pay for the coal that
you sold at $3.25?"
"I don't remember exactly, but I
know we made about as much money
as before."
"Did ; the Enterprise people make
anything when they were selling tQ
you?" - ' ' -
"No, for this reason: They put in
a lot of dead work getting their mine
3Ji magnificent shape and when , they
were ready to do business they could
n't get cars." V
"Could they have made money if
they had had cars?" . v !
"They could have made a fortune."
"Could a man, if he had the mine,
sell for $3.50 and pay 90 cents a ton
freight and make money?"
"Yes, if he could get the cars. When
we were selling coal at $3.50 we had
to pay an 80-cent freight rate. When
they put it down to $3 they made the
freight rate 40 cents."
P. G. Bonfils corroborated the state
ments made by Mr. Cochran, and said
that his company, the Post, had kept
Informed upon the condition in the
Northern field. He submitted the con
tract between the Post and the Enter
prise to show exactly the agreement.
Among other items this contract shows
a forfeiture of $5,000 if the company,
at any time, failed to furnish the coal.
When the : Northern bought, it paid
the forfeit in addition to the price o
the mine.
Senator Ward: "Cana mine be
workeu and coal sold at $4 a ton at a
profit?"
"I want to make this just as emphat
ic as English can make it. Coal can
be mined and sold at $4 at an immense
profit and it ought to be mined and
.. ! $3.50."
Senator Moore: "Would you , be
willing to go into this business again?"
"I will pay a heavy bonus for such
an opportunity. For a mine producing
500 tons a day I would be willing to
pay $10,000 bonus and sell at $3.50 n
ton and make big money."
Senator Ward: "To what do you at
tribute the complaint of the company
that they are losing money in the
Northern field?"
. "I consider it a perfect absurdity,
and absolutely untrue." . ,
Judge Beaman: "If the Enterprise
people are making ..money,, why : did
they sell?" , . !
."I think they were so harassed by
the failure to get cars they felt they
might as well get out. They were
simply deviled out of it."
Senator Ward: "Did you ever make
an effort to buy from anyone else ex
cept the Enterprise?"
"Yes. The first was from Patrick
Brennan. We were buying his output,
and the Northern, went up and made a
contract and shut us out. Every time
we found anyone to buy coal of the
Northern cut in and made contracts
that prevented our doing anything."
This concluded the testimony for
the time being, the other interests not
having put in n appearance and the
officials of the railway who had been.
summoned, being out of the city. The
committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman, and will probably
reconvene In a few days.
EMPRESS AND WIFE
The Very Wide Difference la the Two
Characters as Kenacted Upon the
Stage of Life by Queen
Victoria.
Editor Independent: Sunday even
ing, January 27, following the death of
Victoria, Queen of England,-1 listened
to a sermon by one of the D. D.'s cf
Lincoln upon the reign of the departed
queen. Were it possible for me to
have passed the sixty-five years of
my present life upon some other planet
and had stepped directly from thence
into that place of worship, with no
knowledge of the history of events
upon this planet during that period,
undoubtedly I would have been con
verted to the belief in the "divine
right of kings and queens."
Victoria's praises were very truly
sounded as a ruler who loved her peo
ple. Uh, that her Christian (?) love
might have been of that broad type
which would have embraced - the in
habitants of the twenty colonies under
her despotic reign. Could it be possible
she had never learned that all man
kind are God's children? How apt
are we to excuse the ss me national
or tribal selfishness which we would
condemn if manifested in personal
selfishness. For instance, out upon
our western frontier not many years
since . lived two farmers neighbors
whose premises adjoined upon which
each had lived in peace, as Christian
brothers, for many years. The name
of one was Mr. Briton, the name of
the other was Mr. Buer, One bright
morning while Mr. Briton was visltiuji
the farm of Mr. Buer with a view of
improving their. herds by an inter
change of stock, a sudden flash struck
Mr. Briton full in the eyes;, a stey or
two In advance he stooped and picked
up a fragment of broken rock wMch
contained a. brilliant gem- Upon ex
amination by an expert it proved to be
a diamond of the first water. From
that time forward frequent frequent
were the trespasses of Mr. Briton and
his seven sons upon the farm of Mr
Buer in search of more diamonds, un
til It was well established in their
minds that their neighbor's farm was
not only rich In diamond fields, but
in gold mines, also.
Then were inaugurated schemes by
Air. Briton and nis sons to become pos
sessed of Mr. Buer's farm. Mr. Buer
said his farm was not for sale, that he
had moved . two or tbree times, or,
rather, circumstances had pushed him
further and further out upon the fron
tier, and that he was pleased with his
present .home and did not propose to
give it up. Then commenced a feud
on the part of Mr. Briton and his sons,
saying - to Mr. Buer: your farm we
must have and we being the stronger
can and will take if needs be forcible
possession of it. From that time the
feud -was a bloody one. Mr. Briton
with his seven sons was rar superior
in physical force to Mr. Buer and his
one son; the crops of the latter were
destroyed, his jbuildings burned, his
family driven from their home, and
are outcasts seeking refuge among the
rocks and hills adjacent to nis former
ly cultivated fields. Is there a Chris
tian heart in all our land which does
not sympathize with the Buer family
and at the sam6 time " condemn the
selfishness of the Britons. - ,
To my surprise that teacher of
Christian morals made no reference to
Victoria's . reign except . as queen . of
England. No pictures were painted
of her as empress of poor, starving
India or ruler of taxrburdened Ireland.
It was claimed for her that she had
power very, truly, too -"power to de
clare war;" then also power to declare
peace. But during this eulogy of her
personal virtues . and Christian char
acter the ghosts of two crushed South
African republics would not down.
The contrast between the picture of
Victoria as queen of England and that
of her. as empress of. India is so great
that no one not familiar with, history
during ner reign could possibly recog
nize in them the same righteous mon
arch ruler of both. Her eulogy as a
wrife and mother may not be too high
ly sounded. Yet who can estimate her
many regret3 in after years that Al
bert Edward had ever been born. No
doubt the world would have teen that
much-better had it been so, for if the
unpaid debt which has cost his people
$8,000,000 for the sowing of his "wild
oats," pray -what will the harvest be?
I believe the. star of Great Britain's
periods of r oppressive empire are
counted, will rapidly decline until she
sinks behind the clouds of oblivion .as
did that of the Roman Empire. Here
is Byron's gloomy picture of the rise
and fall of nations:
Here 13 the moral of all human tales
'Tls but the same rehearsal of the past.
First freedom . and s then glory when
that parts, '
Wealth, vice, corruption, barbarism at
-last.- ' ' ' '
And history with all her volumes .vast
Hath but one page." - ' - -.

: Colored Voters
The colored . voters of the - United
States will never become an-influence
in the political world until tbey learn.
to base their action' upon, principles
and not the promise of office. The
whites often do that very thing, but
not in the open way that the colored
voters have i of doing. At a recent
meeting of the colored voters of Colo
rado Springs, Colo., the Colored Men s
Progressive . club the -word "republi
can" -was. struck from the constitu
tion and hy-laws wherever it appeared,
and during the coming spring cam
paign this organization will: be lined
up with the r fusion movement. The
trouble appears to be that the county
commissioners broke faith with the
organization ' and appointed a ; head
janitor at the court house a man who
is distateful to the club, notwithstand
ing the fact that the republicans had
assured the club of recognition. The
new head janitor, who was recently
appointed, is W. H. Duncan, a former
member of the club and at one time
its president. The - reason of ' this
change of parties was plainly stated
in the meeting and on the streets.
WTiite men might have done the same
thing under similar circumstances, but
they would have said that they had
concluded that imperialism was wrong
and that they could no longer support
the administration. ?
War Wholesale and Retail
At the close of the brief unpleasant
ness of 1898 we paid Spain $20,000,000
for "an option on a war" in the Phil-.
ippines. -
We took up the option; we nave tiie
war. Bv denvins: to the Filipinos even
the promise of freedom in a far future
we left them no alternative but to fight
to the end or bid farewell to hope oi.
liberty.
Our transnorts sail west with money
and horses and men; they sail east
again with the broken, tne wounaeu,
the insane. We burn the jungle vil
lages and shoot down . their people,
and wherever our soldiers venture oy
twos and threes outside of the armed
camna thev are tortured and killed.
The money cost is vast, the loss of life
as lamentable as it is unnecessary. "
yW-w have Just bought more war.
The senate has ratified a treaty to pay
Spain an additional $100,000 for the
islands of Clbitu and Cagayan, not in
cluded In the original deal for the ab
solute 'ownership of the people of
those : Islands, whose own wish we
have not consulted.
;-Wft have bought war at wholesale
and we have bought war at retail. It
is now costing us $100,000,000 or more
a year. How long before the country
will decide to go out of the melancholy
business? New York World.
; Retorin Heeded
Editor Independent: I like your pa
per very much although I do not agree
with everything that I see In it. I ad
mire your brave, bold stand : for po
litical reform. God knows we need
plenty of It I cannot say that I ad
mire either the republican or demo
cratic parties and I especially dislike
the gold democrats and the modern re
publicans. We are now under a com
bined trust-money king-aristocratic-autocratic
government, the money
power acting as autocrat and supreme
ruler. I admire Bryan and his bold
stand for moral and political reform,
but think that he ought to head the in
dependent people's party.
We are now blessed with a big
standing army and the Spanish war
tax, plus millions of dollars of national
bank notes with a gold standard pol
icy to carry out. Do away with sii
ver, silver certificates, greenbacks or
state paper money and then reduce
the amount of gold In circulation and
we shall be truly happy. Let the
money tyrant rule, while the middle
class makes . barely a living and the
poor scarcely live at all. Let us pat
tern after England while we view her
inhuman acts in the Transvaal,
slaughtering the Boers and taking
from them their liberty. Let us sec
ond the acts of the United States In
taking freedom from a liberty-loving
people in the Philippines. How long
shall It continue? The United State3
is called a Christian nation, but is it
truly so? No. not under present con
ditions and circumstances. .

To bear her to her home. '

And honor thy good name.

Friend, Neb. ; -,
Capture of General Buller
It has been asserted time and again
In the English press that General Bul
ler was captured by -De wet and re
leased on parole. The military cen
sorship of news from South Africa
has been so severe that it has been
Impossible to get a statement of the
facts In this case. - One significant
thing is that the rumor has never been
denied by the British government.
The O . Portuguez, a Portuguese
newspaper published at Lorenzo Mar
ques, verifies in its number of Nov. 21,
1900, the rumor that General Buller
only left South Africa after having
been a prisoner in the hands of the
Boers. In this paper, which gives a
sufficient account of the incident, we
find that General Buller signed a writ
ten contract, In which he agreed never
to fight in South Africa again, and
that he therefore was released on pa
role. The paper also relates the fact
that the distinguished British general
left all his medals and decorations of
honor and distinction in the hands of
General Dewet, who still keeps them
as trophies of war: The same paper
further states that it had not pub
lished these facts before for the rea
son that it might have caused trouble
for the Portuguese government. Now,
then, here is a bit of history: General
Buller went to South Africa to eat a
Christmas dinner in Pretoria; he lost
every battle in which he .was engaged
against the Boers; he -was taken pris
oner by his enemies; he had to leave
all his medals and decorations of hon
or, which he had received during his
military career, in the hands of Gen
eral Dewet when he was released on
parole, and'1 he was finally received in
England as a great -hero! r " - ;
. Sic transit. gloria mundi!- ; " :
i Save the Banks ; :
In the house of representatiVHS last
week Mr. Richardson refused unani
mous consent for the consideration of
a bill extending national bank charters
and Chajrman Brosius of the com
mittee on banking stated that the
charters of 1,713 national banks would
expire on July 14, 1902, under the
twenty-year limit. The committee on
rules probably will report a rule un
der which the bill will be put through
under the gag law. Mr. Richardson's
objection only delayed the bill. I T
The opportunity - thus presented to
relieve the country of the national
banking system would be an excel
lent one, were it not for the fact that
all financial legislation is based on the
idea of continuance for an" indefinite
period of that system. ' ;
The Independent would have these
banks of issue discontinued and all
money, whether gold, silver or paper,
issued by the government. It would
not have a national debt to support it
It would not require the people to pay
double interest before it got into cir
culation. The present system has'
been forced upon the country by 'the
banking sharks and congress has tak
en no action to put another in . its
place. , The closing of 1,700 banks
would doubtless cause a financial
rrash. but there Is no necessity to close
them. Congress could within a week
adont a system to take their places
Let them continue as banks of loans
and discounts, but take away from
them the power to issue money and
put a greenback in the place or every
bank note retired. JNo sucn tnmg wui
he done. The national bank charters
will be renewed and they will be left
in power for another generation, -
Humanity Staggered .
When Joe Chamberlain was forcing
war upon the Boers, while they were
pleading for arbitration, - President
Kruger remarked that England might
conquer the Boers, but it would oe at
a cost that would stagger humanity.
Arcordlns to the official monthly re
turns published in England the British

Repeated drafts on Great Britain's

have brought the cost or tne war al
ready to over $700,000,000, and the cry
is still for "more funds."
Cheep Shipbuilding
James J. Hill, the president of the
Great Northern, stated the other day;
in an address carefully prepared,' be
fore the Chicago board of trad, that
he was building iwo ships In the
United States because he could build
them more cheaply here than abroad
and he had carefully investigated the
question and that he; wanted- these
ships to connect on the Pacific coast
with . his great railroad. It is well
known that the Pennsylvania railroad
s in Intimate relations with the Am
erican Steamship company, and the
resident of the Pennsylvania railroad
s today a director in the American
company. I do not choose to indulge
n invidious conjecture. I state facts
known to all, and assert that the Am
e.ican ccmpany is now running its
ships at a profit, and yet coming to the
congress of the United States and ask
ing for this enormous subsidy, which
does not put one other ship upon the
ocean that would not be placed, there
anyhow, whether , this bill passed or
not. Extract from , speech . of Senator
