A GREAT SINGER'S
NARROW ESCAPE.
''' . -- .
His Voice Was About Lost Physicians Failed Peruna as
a Last Resort Brought Back Health and Strength.
- PROF. FRITZ VOLL.MER, PRESIDENT SCHWiEBISCHER SiENGERBUND
OF CHICAGO, ILLS., SAVED FROM ENTIRE LOSS OF VOICE BY PERUNA,
3
1 r ANY PEOPLE can tolerate slight
Yl catarrhal affections. But this is
not true of the public speaker or
singer. His voice must always be clear,
lungs perfect, digestion undisturbed.
Ilence the popularity of Peruna among
the leading professional men ana women
of the country.
Fritz Vollmer, President Schwse
bischer Siengerbund, Chicago, in a re
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
says:
" was greatly troubled for
' weeks with throat trouble which
the doctors defined as catarrh,
but could only give we temporary
relief.
"My voice was badly affected
and I was afraid 1 would lose it
entirely. read of some of the
wonderful things your Peruna
would do and thought it advisable
to try some myself.
I am pleased to state that in a
very short time I was cured."'
FRITZ VOLLMER.

An Opera Singer's Experience.
Miss Jennie Hawley, a contralto
singer of great popularity in comic
opera, is one of the many professional
singers who use Peruna. She writes:
Riggs House, Washington, D. C.
"I regard Peruna as invaluable to
singers and actresses, and all persons
who use their voices in entertaining the
public. I have for ad it excellent for a
cold or cough." Jennie Hawley. ;
Ex-Congressman C. Pelham, of Ban
croft, Va., writes :
"My sister-in-law has been suffering
from catarrh of the throat for a consider"
able time. She has been using Peruna
for about one week, and is manifestly
improved. I believe it is an excellent
remedy for catarrh." C. Pelham.
Not only is Peruna of untold value in
cases of laryngitis, but a bottle of Peru
na rightly used in the family during the
winter months is of value untold. Peru
na cures colds, cures coughs, cures la
grippe, cures all diseases due to catarrhal
congestions of the mucous membranes.

CHEATED AT THEIR OWN GAME
The Chicago Dailies have been filled
for a month with Lcrrible reports of
the devastation that was resulting
from smallpox among the Indians on
the Winnebago and Omaha reserva
tions in Nebraska. The editor of The
Independent knew all the time, having
special means of information, that
there was not a word of truth in the
stories and look the. trouble to write
to one of the Chicago papers denying
them, but that little bit of truth was
not permitted to see the light of day
and the paper went on printing the
Associated press dispatches telling
how the Indians were rotting in their
teepees and dying by the score.
Finally the Indian bureau took the
matter up and sent a physician out
there to institute proceedings to stop
the spread of the disease. He reports
that it was all a scheme of the gov
ernment appointed republican Indian
agents and traders. They wanted to
f orc; the Indians to stay on the reser
vation and spend all their money, of
which Lt present they have a good sup
ply, at the traders' stores where they
charge from fifty to a hundred per
cent more for goods than they can be
purchased for at the neighboring
towns.. These towns about the reser
vations which lost the trade all voted
the republican ticket at the last elec
tion and they have simply got a dose
of republicanism, pure and undefiled,
which The Independent is glad was
administered to them. It hopes that
the ' political Indian trader will keep
at it along the same line until the re
publican merchants along the line get
enough of it.
The people of Wisconsin are told
by the great $400,000,000 railroad trust
that the state has no jurisdiction over
the traffic of the iron ore roads of
the northern part of the state, owned
by the United States Steel Co., prac
tically shutting out the independent
mine owner from owning or shipping
his ore at a profit. The Steel trust
has a New Jersey charter and that
settles it.
It is announced that all the papers
in the states of Minnesota, North Da
kota, Montana and Washington are
unanimous in the opinion that some
thing must be done or the great $490,
000,000 railroad trust will override all
the laws of those states. They charge
that the combination organized to con
trol the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific is for the purpose
of curcumventing the laws of those

states. The suggestion is made by
most of them that laws be passed that
corporations organized in New Jersey
shall have no legal status until they
get charters in the states where they
carry on operations. Papers advocat
ing such a doctrine as that can hardly
stay, in the republican party, for by all
the rules laid down by them, that is
anarchy.
REPUBLICAN OAINS
The republicans have received large
accessions to their numbers during
the last year. Immigration of the
most Ignorant in all Europe has large
ly increased during that time and al
most to a man that class of emigrants
vote the republican ticket.
The principal countries from which
the steerage arrivals for the year came
are given in the official reports as fol
lows: Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, 135,
996; Austria-Hungary, 113,390; Rus
sian empire and Finland, 85,257; Ire
land, 30,561; Sweden, 23,331; German
empire, 21,651; Norway, 12,248; Eng
land, 12,214. The . Irish, Scandinav
ians, Germans and English, all to
gether, make but a poor showing in
numbers when compared to the hoards
that come from the countries where
humanity has been trodden under the
feet of despotism until they have be
come what we see at Castle Garden.
But that class will swell the vote of
the republican party and that is one
of the main objects that big corpora
tions have in bringing them . here.
Besides that they can be used to beat
down the wages of labor until the la
bor organizations have time to edu
cate them up to .demand a fair day's
wage for a fair day's work.
MEDICAL MURDERS
The medical profession includes all
sorts of men, from some of the most
learned and philanthropic to the big
gest educated fools on earth. The
laws have thrown some restraint
around them but it seems that there
is need of more. A story comes from
New York that a Miss Emma H. King
consented to be inoculated with the
virus of consumption and that there
was a doctor found. willing to do it.
Dr. Barney prof esses to - be indig
nant at the suggestion that he may
be arrested by order of the New York
Board of Health. He took precaution
to secure a certificate from Miss King
stating that: she . submitted to the ex
periment from, her own free.; will and
exonerating . him from a Jl blame for
any poslble consequences.
But such a document would hardly
produce much impresion in court. Our
laws do -not permit people to assist
others to commit suicide. Neither io
they allow one person to murder an
other t n securing ' the victim's con
sent. ' . '
If Dr. Barney had shot and killed
Mis King he would not have found
good ; defense to produce a certificate
stating that Miss King had consented
to be shot. ; Nor will he find such a
document any more effective in the
case of murder by tubercle bacilli. v
The medical association of New
York should immediately call a meet
ing and expel that doctor and deprive
him of his license to pratice medicine.
If the profession wishes to keep the
confidence of the people that is the
thing to be done.
A MAGNIFICENT CI FT
' The city of Omaha is about to make
a present to the Union Pacific railroad
of several million dollars worth of
land and unpaid accounts against the
corporation and in1 return will get the
right: ,
First to extend the big main
sewer running along Izard street
from Eleventh to Eighth streets, ,
or through its grounds, at the ex
pense of the railroad.
Second To allow the city sew
age right-of-way privileges in the
southern part of the city from
Twenty-fourth street east to the
river along the Union Pacific
trackage. -
Before the railroad corporations
took control of the government of the
state of Nebraska it was generally
conceded that the things obtained by
the city of Omaha in this deal with the
inherent rights of the city without any
grant from the Union Pacific railroad
corporation. This contract, drawn up
by a host of lawyer's and to be sanc
tioned by the city council, finally and
fully acknowledges the sovereignty of
the Union Pacific in the city of Omaha.
When the extra session of the legis
lature, which is to be called, getj
through with its work this winter,
the final and complete sovereignty of
the railroads will be acknowledged
over the whole state of Nebraska.
In the gift made to the Union Pa
cific in this contract is Included 11 U
acres of land in the heart f the city,
together with a great many valuable
business lots, besides the claims
against the road which are pending In
the courts. The road is going to build
some shops and that is the excuse for
this magnificent gift. The road would
be forced to build the shops anyhow
as they are necessary for the conduct
of its business, but it prefers to have
the city of Omaha pay the costs. The
republican city, council will do It. That
was what it was elected for.
DEGENERATES AND, REGENERATES
, In some of the states the. pure food
commissions are used to bolster up
the trusts. If there is an article that
is competing in any degree whatever
with the trusts, the agents of the com
bine buy up the inspectors and insti
tute prosecutions against the impu
dent slaves who dare to disobey the
order of the magnates. The alienists
have had a good deal to say about de
generates and degeneration, but there
seems to be a field for their investiga
tions among the "sports" from the
human stock who run the trusts.
While this investigation of the causes
and effects of degeneration is being
pushed by certain scientists, it might
be well for another section to begin a
research Concerning "regeneration."
If there is "degeneration" there cer
tainly is also "regeneration,", and the
scientists should not give all their
attention to the former and none at all
to the latter. All along the line of
capitalism and commercial greed,
there is degeneration from the ideals
that were formerly entertained by the
educated classes. The gathering to
gether of gold was not always the
higacst ideal of the development of
the human race. That is a latter day
notion and certainly the alienists not
only ought to find that this degener
acy and these degenerates exist, but
indicate in some manner how the de
generacy can be stopped and "regen
eration" begin. The worst degenerates
are not in the lower classes. A de
generation in the higher classes that
looks upon cunning and the, accumula
tions of gold as the highest develop
ment of man, will prove much more
disastrous to the human race than
that sort that indulges In petty thiev
ing and lives on back-door handouts
of the tender-hearted housewives.
DON'T LIKE THEIR MEDICINE
There has been a great uproar in
which the people have taken a hand
all the way from Duluth to Seattle,
covering the states from Chicago
along the British line to the Pacific
Ocean. The states always. vote the re
publican ticket and support the party
of trusts and combines. They have
received a dose of that sort of thing
too big to be swailowed at one gulp
and all the governors are threatening
to call special sessMns of their legis
lature to save themselves from what
they have been voting for To tbo last
twenty years. It seems that a great
combination has been . f ormed ; be
tween their transcontinental railroads
which run parallel lines and have been
competing organizations. Hereafter
they are to run as ons? company and
charge all the traffic will .tear. Jim
Hill, Harriman and the men who own
the lines have formed a railroad trust
with $400,000,000 of capital and say
that they are big enough to defy all
the legislatures along the whola route.
The attorney general of the states up
that way are all got up after the fash-
A TWENTIETH CENTURY MARVEL
Doctors Who Treat and Cure Patients
Without Pay. ; This is What the Brit
ish Doctors are Doing at Their Office
at the Corner 11th and N Streets
Sheldon Block. '
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical In
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of a large , number of patients under
their care in this country, established
a permanent branch of the Institute
in this city at the
COR. 11TH AND N STS., SHELDON
BLOCK,
These eminent gentlemen have de
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicines ex
cepted) to all Invalids who call upon
them for treatment between now and
December ,6.A These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and t dvice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course is
to become rapidly and personally ac
quainted with the sick and afflicted,
and under no conditions will' any
charge whatever be made for any. ser
vices rendered for three months to all
who call before December 6.
The doctors treat all forms of disease
and deformities and guarantee a cure
in every case they undertake. At the
1st interview a thorough examinaton is
made, and, if incurable, you are frank
ly and kindly told so; also advised
against spending your money for use
less treatment. . v
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, all skin diseases and all
diseases of the rectum, are positively
cured, by their new treatment.

Institute is in personal charge.

ion of our own delectabel Prout, all
being republicans and elected by the
railroads. With thsso conditions The
Independent sees no way of beating
the great railroad trust. Republican
officials were not elected in the33 states
by the railroads without knowing what
they were doing. Governor VanSant
and the rest of the governors r.long the
line of states are making a great out
cry, but every one of them were elect
ed by the railroads and will do noth
ing serious. When republicanism comes
to be applied, the people up there
don't seem tcj like it. But they voted
for it and now they will have to take
their medicine. " .' .
The idea that the government that
grants trusts charters and special priv
ileges has. no right to control them is
so ridiculous that it is strange that
any, sane man can accept It. for a mo
ment. The corresponding idea that
the government cannot control" is still
more ridiculous. It involves the ac
ceptance of the statement that the
creature Is greater than the creator.
Both of these doctrines are dilligently
advocated by the republican press,
and that press claims all the Intelli
gence, all the honor and all the hon
esty in the land.
The longer the war goes on In South
Africa the more danger there is of
other nations becoming embroiled in
it. The other day a Dutch fishing
smack sighted an English boat of the
same class. The crew of the Dutchman
locked their captain up, and then at
tacked the-English boat, shouting the
Boer war cry. They mauled the Eng
lish crew to their hearts content and
then let them go. . A formal complaint
was made to the English consul and
the thing is up for settlement. ' Out
breaks of that kind are growing more
imminent all the time. There is great
bitterness manifested against Great
Britain all over Germany and France
and something of the same sort may
occur with men of those nations at
any time, the end-of which might be
serious.
Republican architecture in the city
of Lincoln is about as disgraceful, in
competent . and horrible as Steufer j
management of the school fund. A
year or so ago a costly building was
erected on the high school grounds.
The grand entrance must have been
copied from the north end of a Penn
sylvania Dutch barn. Now they are
going to build . another just like it.
They built a school house with the first
story half under ground and they howl
about the little children being forc
ed to spend the hours of their school
life in basements,
The other day a Chicago detect". ve
was tried and found guilty of boat
ing a helpless prisoner of whom he
had charge and who was making ho
resistance. The evidence showed that
the prisoner was beaten because he
refused to pay the detective money
which he claimed for allowing the
man to remain In the city. The Inde
pendent is sometimes inclined to the
belief .that most of the crime in tb.e
large cities is committed by direction
of the police, who employ men and
protect them for the purpose of rob
bing the people. ' !
One set of courts and one set of
judges issuing injunctions, would seem
to be costly and burdensome enough,
but in these United States there are
two sets entirely distinct, the federal
and the state. . The former seems to
be created for the especial benefit of
the. corporations. Whenever they get
beat in the state , courts, they imme
diately fly to the federal courts where
they are pretty sure to get what they
want. The Illinois corporations are
now trying to get the federal courts to
enjoin them from paying the taxes
which the state court says they owe.
A republican writes to The Inde
pendent saying ; that: "A neighbor
gave me a copy4 of The Independent.
I never seen it before and can't under
stand what "you are driving at. There
was two or . three pieces in it about
watering stock, pretending that that
was an awful crime. The pops may
never water their stock, but a republic
can who has any sense thinks as much
of watering his stock as he does of
feeding them. What do you mean by
all that anyhow?"
