A.GroTeaoT, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, in ft letter wrlttta frcra WauMcgton, D.C,tays: "Allow me to express my gratitude to you tor the benefit derived from one bottle of Peruna. One week has brought wonderful changes and I am now as well as ever. Besides being one of the very best spring tonics It Is ea excellent catarrh remedy." Very respectfully, Dan. A. Grosvenor. Ucs. J eta Willi , Cecity ConirlssioEtr of 17 West Second street, Dulatb, Minn, cays the following in regard to Peruna: "As a remedy for catarrh lean cheerfully recommend Peruna. I know what It is to suffer from that terrible disease and If eel that it is my duty to speak a good word for the tonic that brought me immediate relief. Perana cured me of a bad case of catarrh and I know it will cure any other sufferer from that disease." Miss Mattie L. Guild, President Illi nois Young People's Christian Temper ance Union, in a recent letter from Chi cago, 111., says: "I doubt if Peruna has a rival in ail the remedies recommended to-day for catarrh of the system. A remedy that will cure catarh of the stomach will cure the same condition of the mucous membrane anywhere. I have found it the best remedy I have ever tried tor catarrh, and believing it worthy my endorsement I gladly accord it. " Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Reser- roir Council No. 168, Northwestern Le gion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn., write b from 2535 Polk street, N.E.: , "I have been Mrs. Elmer Fleming, Minneapolis, Minn. troubled all my life with catarrh in my head. I took Peruna for about three months, and now think I am per manently cured. I believe that for catarrh in all its forms Peruna is the medicine of the age. It cures when all other remedies fail. I can heartily recommend Peruna as a ca tarrh remedy" The spring is the time to treat ca tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Puruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will le prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Pernna is takenintelligently during the favorable weather of spring. , As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures ca tarrh of the stomach or bowels with the samecertainty as catarrh of the head.

The steamship lines and rail reads centering at Tacoma got the fol lowing inserted in every daily paper printed in the United States last weelk fre of cost and The Independent, just to be in tbe fashion, is going to give them the benefit of its large circula tion. The ad. read as follows: "Tacoma, Wash.. April 26. Men who have just arrived from Dawson say a second strike has been made in tbe marvelous Eldorado Creek district in Alaska. ' "Two men who discovered the spot washed out $5,000 the first day. Pans of dirt taken from the streak yield as high as $50 each, and not a bucket of the gravel comes to the surface that does not contain nuggets running all the way from a quarter of an ounce to an ounce in weight, pure gold. "The messengers say that the strike has created the wildest excitement all along Eldorado, and that miners are Cocking to the neighborhood by the thousands. If the steamships and railroads don't get a million or two out of that, then there is nothing In advertising. They have pursued that kind of advertising for the last five years anl have always netted Immense returns from it. This Is the time of year that they always insert them. THE STORAGE BATTERY win Electricity b Shipped Con b try X4k Ordinary Goods T Exhibited at Buffalo Electrical science has become very much excited over the fact that Tho mas A. Edison has invented a storage battery which it Is said is destined to rank very high in the long list of val uable Inventions which this wonderful man has given to the world. It is possible that the new storage battery will be accepted as . the very greatest invention of this Inventive genius, and the importance of this Is best understood when it is considered that Edison has taken out patents on more than 700 Inventions, Included In which number are the phonograph, the quadruples, a device for sending four messages at once over a telegraph wire and the low resistance dynamo for electric lighting. It was Edison who created the in candescent lighting system by which the grounds of the Pan-American ex position are Illuminated. Such great inventions as these have naturally placed the name of Edison on the highest rung of the ladder of fame; but despite his multiplicity of Invention, during the nineteenth cen tury, he greets the twentieth century and the Pan-American exposition with an invention which an authority con nected with the United States patent cSce, who Is conversant with the bat tery, says, next to the telephone, is the most important of the nineteenth cen tury. This Is indeed a statement which rightfully leads the public to expect that Edison's new storage battery will revolutionize the storage battery con struction of the period, and carry the world forward many material points from the darkness In which his field has hitherto been encompassed. It was at the Centennial exhibition la Philadelphia that the telephone was first shown to the public, and It will be at the Pan-American exposition that the public will get its first glimpse of this new and great storage battery of Edison's. This feature alone will possess un usual Interest for every person who has any connection with the electrical and scientific fields. It will interest the world because the battery promises to become exceedingly valuable in the development of various lines of indus try, the growth of which has been re tarded by the lack of a device similar to this new battery. Especially will it be of the highest importance to the automobile industry, where a battery lighter than those at present in use is much needed. Edison's new battery is expected to be of only half the weight -of the present-day batteries, and an important statement is that it will not be a lead accumulator. A complete description of the battery is not yet obtainable from the fact that the American pat ents have not yet been issued. How ever, they soon will be, and then the world will know more about the won derful storage battery to be exhibited at the Pan-American exposition. The prediction was made before the national electric light association, at one of their Niagara meetings, that the time would come when the electrical energy of the Falls of Niagara would be shipped throughout the country by the carload as a result of the perfec tion of the storage battery. It is not known whether Edison's laU- inven tion brings us to a realization of this promise.; but when it is stated that as an invention the battery ranks next to the telephone in the list of Important inventions of the nineteenth century, it may be imagined that it will demon strate Its full value very soon after reaching the market. The exhibit of the Edison Manufac turing company of Orange, N. J., will be located in section D, opposite the General Electric company's exhibit, in the Electricity building. In addition to the storage battery laboratory prod ucts of a new and important nature will be for the first time exhibited. Several of these will be of a surprising nature, even to minds rich in electri cal knowledge. They will be entirely new, and if the fame of Edison can be Intensified beyond the high point he has attained, it may be set down as a fact that the Edison exhibit at the Pan-American exposition -will do it. Thomas A. Edison, who will thus do so much to entertain and instruct visi tors to the Pan-American exposition, will be represented at the exposition by Mr. W. H. Markgraf, manager of Edison's exhibit department. ORRIN E. DUNLAP. REPUBLICAN IOWA It Is Not tbe Land of the Blest Bank ruptcy Stares 60 Per Cent of the Bus iness Men In the Face The following article from the pen of an Iowa clergyman shows that the writer is a keen and accurate observer. He says that hp was born In Iowa, edu cated in its common schools and state university and since graduation has been located in various Iowa towns as a Congregational clergyman. It is in reply to, the numerous tramp stories which have been appearing in various plutocratic magazines. Any man who has been a disinterested and close ob server will at once acknowledge the truthfulness of his descriptions. He says: "It is true that there Is plenty of work in Iowa just now. The Iowa farmer yells long and loud for help for a few weeks in the spring. He waxes wroth at the tramp who is looking for work and hoping he won't find it, and the laborer In the city who will not leave the city for the country. But his anxiety begins to cease as soon as corn is laid by and does not begin until harvest time is here. Then again there is a great demand for laborers, but you will notice it is a demand lasting only six or eight weeks. The average farmer farms with machinery, not men. He uses horses, not hands. He wants usually one steady laborer for the. year round. All the rest of the time he has no use for help save In the busy season of spring and fall. "What Is there, anyway, In the con ditions of farm labor in Iowa to tempt a self-respecting man to leave the city? Suppose he does find a permanent sit uation? It means to work about four teen hours a day in a slavish , and ex hausting way. If he be a single man it means the worst bedroom in the house and get up at 4:30 or 5 o'clock to do a half's day's work before breakfast and finish the day's work by lantern light at night. ' The pay is from $18 to $25 a month, or less than a dollar a day and board. If he be a married man It means from $25 to $35 a month without board. - The writer has known men to work by the year for $300, board them selves, and also furnish a team which they fed and cared for; "The fact of the matter is that Iowa farmers are putting their lands into pasture, so they do not need this extra help, or are moving to the towns and renting their land to their sons or to strangers. Another thing, the chance for the farm hand to become a land bwner is very poor. In the neighbor hood where the writer was born and raised most of - the old farmers began a6"farm hands; but within the last five years very few have succeeded in ac quiring land, and these few ' only through .sacrifice; which has wrecked their physical constitutions and robbed them of all luxuries and many necessi ties of life for many years. Another, thing, the average, Iowa town is a de lusion and a. snare. It has a few good stores and many cheap business houses which are constantly on the verge of ruin. Bankruptcy stares 60 per cent of the Iowa business firms in the face every day in the year. Every town of a thousand people and even less has its department 3tore, and the sharp practices employed to catch trade are as sharp and-cruel as can be found in the city. "The land question in Iowa is the absorbing question. Under our present system we are becoming a state of in dependent, and rich landlords and de pendent and homeless . tenants and workers. If present tendencies con tinue in Iowa we will see as fierce con trasts here as can be found in New York or London. Notwithstanding the self-satisfied optimism of Mr. Wycoff, the . writer humbly ventures to insist that the labor problem" of America cannot be settled by getting the toilers out of the cities for the six or eight weeks work spring and fall which Iowa farmers want.

THE LANDS OF THE BLEST Where They Keep Snakes In Plaoe of Cats, Lizards Crawl Over the Beds and Ants are Everywhere The beautiful isles of the sea for which we have shed so much blbood and spent so much 'money are fre quently described by soldiers and so journers of the male sex but it is sel dom that we get the opinion of a wom an on the subject. Here is what one of them who hag resided there more than a year has to say about house keeping in Luzon; "Imagine keeping a snake in the house to fill a cat's duties. That is what they do in Manila," says an American- woman who has just returned from spending a year in the Philip pines with her journalist husband. "The first night I spent in our own home was hot and smothering, so I lay wide awake, hoping for a breeze. Sud dently I heard a strange noise over head. Manila houses are built of bam boo and are about as substantial as a bandbox, so one hears every rustle. I had listened to the scamper of a rat overhead, then came a queer noise like a stealthy slide. The rat gave a shriek of agony. I could hear the lash of the snake's tail and a terrible scrimmage all over the thin floor. They seemed to be rolling over each other and the snake was swallowing the rat. I heard it as distinctly as if I could see it. I shrieked louder than the rat had done, and in a moment every China boy in our establishment was in my. room to see what had happened. Before I left Manila I grew as accustomed to find ing a house snake on my floor as if it had been a cat. The house pests of the Philippines drive an American woman to distraction." Lizards are everywhere; you find them in- your bed, in the dishes inthe pantry, clinging to your gowns or napping in your bureau drawers. Some are bigger than the chameleons we used to pet; others are a foot long. Ants of every size and sort simply inhabit everything you own. Every good housekeeper in Ma nila keeps the feet of her dining table standing in pots of oil. If you did not take that precaution one would be eat ing ants In every dish served. I have tasted them and I can assure you their flavor is not nice." J. Kansas Populists The Kansas papers are all discussing the question of what the populists of that state shall do. The recent republi can legislature passed the most infer nal ballot law ever concocted by a set of political boodlers. No man's name can appear on the ticket more than once and no party can adopt a name of more than one word. It would have been just as proper to have passed law that no name of any man should ap pear upon the ticket who had more' than one Christian name. In discuss ing this question, the Hutchison Ga zette says: ' ' "The democratic party, nationally, is still on probation with practically all the populists. So far it has lived a good, consistent life, and followed the straight and narrow path as 'with a pure heart. But struggle with the evil forces is rankling within its breast and it is by no means impossible that the next national convention might be so packed with trust funds as to turn the party back to its flesh pots and its vomit. Populists should and will pre serve their own organization till after this conflict is over. However, there is no danger of the defection of the demo crats of Kansas. They are as one with us on nearly all our measures and are getting closer to us on theories. There, is no excuse for a division of the forces in our local, campaigns, simply because, the republicans have planned and ar ranged for such a program. Radical expressions of mid-road populists and straightout democrats should be dis couraged. When the time comes for nominations we believe the conviction will gently settle down over both par ties that the way to keep our prin ciples alive and the agitation working will be to nominate in precisely the same way we have been doing, get to gether in a convention and ratify and certify the nominees as the "People's Ticket." As there will be no national campaign till after the thing will be fought out in the next democratic na tional convention, and the campaigns will be only local in character, the democrats ought to be willing to con cede enough to give up their party name on the ballot, if the populists do the same.

I have twice received at the hands of my party the highest honor it can bestow, and twice has my nomina tion been indorsed by our allies, the populists and silver republicans. The first npmination came from the dele gates In." attendance upon the three conventions, the second nomination came directly from the voters of the three parties. These honors were be stowed, not because of personal merit, or as a personal compliment, but be cause of my advocacy of democratic principles. I still believe in those prin ciples, and expect to advocate them during the remainder of my life. New issues will arise from time to time, but the principles set forth in the Chi cago platform and In the Kansas City platform are fundamental, and can be applied to all questions. "I am not planning for another pres idential nomination if I were I would not be editing a paper; if I ever be come a candidate again it will be be cause it seems necessary for the ad vancement of the principles to which I adhere, and that does not now seem probable. I shall, however, take an Interest in politics for several years yet, if I live, and can be relied upon to support those who as candidates advo cate democratic principles, and who can be trusted to enforce them if elected. "I have no enemies to punish. No matter what a man may have said or done against the ticket in 1896 or dn 1900, that man becomes my friend the moment he accepts democratic prin ciples. Neither have I any disposition to reward political friends at the ex pense of our cause. No matter what a man may have said or done for the ticket in 1896 or in 190(h that man be comes an opponent ,the moment he turns against democratic principles. Political battles are fought, not in the past or in the future, but in the pres ent. The heretofore cannot be re called, and the hereafter cannot be an ticipated, but the now is all Important. "I shall say whatever I think ought to be said, and shall write whatever I think ought to be written. This course may not be popular, but I trust that it will aid in the restoration of Jefferson Ian principles. "I shall ask no reward, because I am not working for others entirely. As a citizen I am interested in having a good government under which to live; as a father I am Interested in leaving a good government to my children. If a good government cn be secured it will be reward enough for all that I or any one else can do." He Likes a. Fighter Editor Independent: I have been a constant reader of your paper for over four years past, and have been so of ten impressed with the streight-up, stalwart character of your editorials that I have thought many times to write you my appreciation of your fearless, independent, outspoken, man ly utterances on all public and politi cal questions. . j If all reform papers ppssessed the same fearless and independent expres- sion In dealing with the live issues of the day the time would be brief when the people would have an intelligent 1 understanding of public matters and be able to detect, on sight, the hypoc risy and rottenness of republican lead ers, and statements of a misguided, subsidized republican press. You are doing a noble work in pre senting the truth, exposing error and defending American principles. X. Hay Springs, Neb. The Way .They Redeemed The Nebraska Independent had a cartoon in its last week's issue that is a sad commentary on the political events of today. On the right of the. picture was shown J. S. Bartley in prison garb, Inside the stockade at Lincoln; on the left was J.'H. Millard, doffing his silk tile to the public as he tightly clutched the U. S. senator ship commission. Below these were the words: "The Doings of Destiny Re deeming Nebraska." This is the way the -republicans are "redeeming" Nebraska. How different from the way the fusion forces be gan their labors four years ago! The republicans were as loud in their con demnation of such methods as they are now in their praises of the nine bolt ers. - Send an ex-republican official to prison? Preposterous! . But it was done.
