Grateful For What Pe-ru-na is Do

!
J1. A. Curtright, A. B.t Principal of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial Insti
tute, and editor and proprietor of the
'Georgia Helping Hand" writes the
following glowing words concerning
Peruna, and its efficacy in the cure of
catarrh.
Ho says : "I was induced to try Peru
na by the advice of a friend, and cer
tainly believe that suffering humanity
would be relieved if they only gave Pe
runa a fair trial. Would that I could
frame words sufficient to express my
gratitude for the benefits derived from
Its use." F. A. CURTRIGHT, Greens
boro, Ga.
Hon. W. N. Roach, United States
Senator from North Dakota, in a letter
written from Larimore, North Dakota,
eays:
' "Persuaded by a friend, I have used
Peruna as a tonic, and am glad to testify
that it has greatly helped me in strength,
vigor and appetite. I have been advised
by friends that it is remarkably effica
cious as a cure for the almost universal
complaint of catarrh." W. N. Roach.
Senator Roach's wife recommends Pe

ganization to wield that control.
President Roosevelt threatens to
convene congress in extraordinary ses
sion late in the summer unless this
session witnesses the enactment of
some special legislation in which he is
interested. It is probable the promise
of patronage will prove powerful
enough to enforce his will, but the
tendency towards usurpation of power
by the executive branch of the gov
ernment i3 one to be feared.
Government best exercises its func
tions when each of its three co-ordinate
branches is duly concerned and
each encroaches not upon the peroga
tlves of the other. The tendency of
the executive to usurp, or at least ab
sorb, the perogatives of the legislative
t branch of the government contains an
element of much danger to the future
political concerns of the republic.

i eruption and fears are that thousands
;will lose their lives there. The
Cataclysm is believed by many to have
been worse than the destruction of
I Pompeii. The house refused to pass
,the measure, agreeing to let it rest un
til further reports were heard and
advancing that France was sufficiently
able to take care of her colonies.
Among those who died during the
past week are Admiral Sampson, who
was buried on.- Thursday with all the
' uuuui o (I c IlligLUll, V H,., tile
national cemetery. Archbishop Cor
rigan, one of the most learned and be
loved of Catholic prelates, died at
his New York residence from pneu
monia and heart disease, and Potter
Palmer of the worlds fair commission.
The democrats lost two very able men
in congress and came very near losing
another. Hon. Peter J. Otey and
Judge Salmon of New Jersey died dur
ing the week and Hon. Marcus Smith,
delegate from Arizona, came very near
expiring after making a speech in
favor of the statehood bill. He is
now improving slowly. Never before
have three desks in the house been
draped at one time. The draped desks
of Cummings, Otey and Salmon give
the house a mournful look.
I went to the congressional library
to read the newspapers the other day
and I noticed in the State Journal the
following:
"Judge A. S. Tibbets returned yes
terday from a trip to Washington.
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Harrisburg. At Washington the judge
met the entire Nebraska delegation
and expressed himself pleased at the
work being done for Nebraska. 'While
I would like to see the First district
represented by a democrat,' said Judge
Tibbets, 'I believe that under existing
conditions, the district could do nc
better than to return Congressman
Burkett. I believe Mr. Burkett has
done a great deal for his district and
Is just getting in a position where he
can do more. The only way to get re
sults is to send a man there and keep
him there till he learns the ropes. In
securing the $300,000 appropriation
clause in the bill recently passed by
the house, Mr. Burkett did some good
work. He was assisted by Congress
man Mercer," but a -large part of his
recommend your excellent remedy, Pe
runa. Indeed, I know of no other rem
edy as good as yours. It is a grand tonic,
and many of my friends have used it for
catarrh with good results." Mrs. W. N.
Roach. s
The most common phases of summer
catarrh are catarrh of the stomach and
bowels. Peruna is a specific for summer
catarrh.
Mr. Wm. Hebley, Duquesne, i Pa.,
writes: "I am cured of catarrh of the
stomach of two years standing. I had
it so bad that I could not eat anything
but milk, I doctored with several doc
tors and they could give me relief for a
short time only, I saw Peruna recom
mended and thought I would try it,
and 1 now think 1 am cured of catarrh.
I have worked two months and did not
lose a day." Wm. Hebley.
Mr. Moses F. Merrill, Columbus, Cher
okee Co., Kansas, Rural Route No. 3,
writes:
"I had been troubled with systemic
catarrh, which affected the lower bowels
especially. I was troubled with running
off of the bowels and troublesome catarrh
of the bronchial tubes which caused
spitting of thick mucus. Since taking
Peruna my Improvement has been
wonderful. My bowels are regular as
clock-work. I can now eat like other
people and my vituals digest."-"
Moses F. Merrill.
Hon. Willis Brewer, Representative
in Congress from Alabama, writes the
following letter to Dr. Hartman :
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen "I have used one bottle of
Peruna for lassitude, and I take pleasure
in recommending it to those who need a
good remedy. As a tonic it is excellent.
In the short time I have used it it has
done me a great deal of good." Willig
Brewer.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr.llartman, giving a
full statement of your case "and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis. , ' i
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
success is due to his own efforts. I
was present when the bill passed the
house. It was opposed by a few con
gressmen who did not get what they
wanted and were talking for the rec
ords, but the opposition is hot danger
ous and it will go through the senate.
I was assured that the Nebraska dele
gation is united in favoring it. . I real
ize that this is quite a little for a
democrat to say, but I believe that Mr.
Burkett should be returned to con
gress rather than any one else.'"
That kind of talk sounds like a gold
democrat who is taking his first step
toward the republican fold. I recall
the fact that Judge Tibbets was one of
the foiir democratic delegates at large
to the Kansas City convention from
the state of Nebraska in the year 1900.
In view of the fact that the next con
gress will probably be democratic, one
cannot help but wonder what has
come over the judge. If to get results
that can be measured in money is. the
test of statesmanship, let me suggest
that a good way to do would be to in
crease the rate of taxation about
twenty times and then the hog com
bine member could get twenty. times
as much. When Mr. Bryan was in
congress he secured an appropriation
of $5,000 for an elevator and repairs
for the government building at Lin
coln; according to the gospel of Tib
bets it must follow that Burkett is
just srxty times better representative
than Bryan. There are people in this
country that were of the opinion, un
til Tibbets went into print, that a
comparison between Burkett and Bry
an was like comparing mud with mar
ble. Measured by dollars, dollars, dol
lars, Burkett would run sixty times
better than Bryan. He will therefore
be nominated and elected president of
the United States for many terms. The
republican party is not passing by
any sure things at the present time.
Mr. Tibbets says that he was pres
ent when the bill passed the house.
He probably means that he was pres
ent when the rule for consideration
was adopted as there was no division
on the passage of the bill. He goes on
to say that it was opposed by a few
congressmen who wanted to get In
the Record. The Congressional Record
shows that Mr. Dalzell presented the
motion, three members opposed its
adoption. Mercer said a few words In
favor of the rule, then Dalzell took
charge and forced the vote which. was
duly announced by the speaker to be
ayes 166, noes 33 and if Tibbets had
wanted to give all of the facts he
would have said that Burkett did not
vote at all, for he was not present. He
was, no doubt, admiring himself some
where, had lost track of-the program
of public business and was not of im
portance enough to send a page for.
After the battle was. over he appeared
on the scene, grinned a few times,
sent out some telegrams and retired
to the cloak room to puff away on a
big, black cigar and try thereby to
heat up his head. It was certainly a
great victory for Burkett according to
the State Journal, Tibbets and Bur
kett himself. It was a sort of Sampson
affair, he was not present at the test
vote, never aid a word, but how he
did telegraph. As a good . and loyal
democrat, and as an observer, you are
a complete failure; so, good-bye, Tib
bets, go and join the republicans; that
is the party that puts the dollar over
all. WM. W. BRIDE.

WHEN WRITING ADVERTISERS
MENTION THE INDEPENDENT.
r.When Tom Johnson started his cam
paign in Cleveland and promised the
people 3-cent fares with universal
transfers, the republicans declared
that the thing was Impossible and
Johnson was only using it as a cam
paign issue, after which it would be
dropped. But it was not dropped. A
charter was given to a party to put
up a competing line upon the condi
tion that it would give 3-cent fares.
The most brilliant lawyers were hired
by the plutocrats to beat this scheme
and every subterfuge was adopted to
delay and destroy the parties engaged
in it. , Tow Johnson just kept on fight
ing. Work on the new linehas be
gun. The other day Mark Hanna and
the other street car magnates of Cleve
land received another shock one that
made them dance as if they were stand
ing on red hot irons. The city board
of control, by direction of the mayor,
passed resolutions declaring that when
present franchises on two important
street railway lines shall expire in
September, 1904, the right to operate
over these routes shall be put up for
bids. The director of law was directed-'
to prepare immediately the
necessary, measures for adoption by
the council to allow the carrying out
of the plan. At that time men will
stand ready to bid 3-cent fares for
those lines and something besides. It
looks now as though. Tom Johnson
would do all that he promised to the
people before the election. If he does,
it will be the first time that thing
ever happened in Americans politics.
Representative Cummings of New
York died on May 2. The next day the
speaker of the house appointed Repre
sentative Otey of Virginia to attend
the funeral. Mr. Otey died the next
day after appointment and the speaker
then named Representative Salmon of
New Jersey to attend the funeral. On
May 6 Mr. Salmon died. A speech that
Mr. Otey delivered was printed in the
Record after he was dead. The print
ing of the speech after the death of the
speaker and the quick succession of so
many deaths are both without parallel
in the history of the house.
General Chaffee has cabled the war
department at Washington that he has
rescinded the order for the establish
ment of reconcentration camps in
Laguna and Batangas provinces, the
only provinces in the Philippines
where the system had been practiced.
These provinces lie on the south shores
of Laguna bay and are about 40 miles
distant from Manila. It seems that the
vigorous attacks of Carmack, Rawlins
and others in the senate are having
immediate effect in stopping the bar
barism in the Philippines.
In defense of .the charge that build
ings had been burned and five women
outraged by soldiers under command
of Lieutenant George Catlin in the
Philippines, which charge was spe
cifically made by Major Gardener, Sen
ator Lodge said that the lieutenant
was under treatment for a deranged
mind.
Private R. V. Hughs of Co. H., 8th
infantry testified before the Philip
pine committee to seeing the water
cure administered once to a native
when the troops were searching for
information. He also saw one native
knocked down twice by order of Lieut.
Merchant, and another beaten on the
chest with a stick to make him give
information. He said that Filipino
prisoners were on one occasion util
ized to carry officers' wives in bamboo
chairs seven miles from Santa Cruz
to Magdalena. He told of the burning
of native houses, in one of which was
a crippled1 native woman. The order
to burn was issued by Lieut. Merch
ant. The women, he said, were ejected
from the houses and left to sleep on
the ground. He described other in
stances of burning.
The republicans have created and
perpetuated more soft snap3 for party
workers than any other nation ever
did in the same length of. time. The
"commissioners" who are drawing fat
salaries from $5,000 to $10,000 run up
into- the hundreds. Among them are
a lot of fellows called the "commis
sion to codify the federal statutes."
They have been quietly drawing $5,000
salaries for several years.
The average number of the em
ployes of the steel trust last year
was 158.263. Their wages amounted
to $112,829,198, which gives an aver
age of $712 a year. But Schwab got a
million of the, wages and other mag
nates immense amounts. How much
did the average laboring man get?
Carnegie declares that he has re
tired from business and has reformed.
He was moved to make this public
announcement because of a story that
he was interested in Morgan's steam
ship merger. That he is not interested
in that trust" may be accepted as the
truth, but about the reforming there
will be grave doubts.
All the great dailies had a displayed
head last week announcing the im
portant fact that Hetty Green carried
a revolver. To the miserable creatures
who run the dailies that seemed to be
of more importance than the war of
conquest in the Philippines or the
tyranny of trusts at home. Every day
the dailies become more like the
trivial court journals published just
before the breaking out of the French
revolution.
The republican platform of the state
of Illinois is as bad in its grammar
as in the policies that It indorses.
One plank reads as follows: "We
commend the brilliant and patriotic
services of our army and navy in
maintaining the dignity and honor of
our flag on, the seas and In our foreign
possessions, . and we condemn the
malignant attacks now being made
upon our soldiers and sailors." It
seems to The Independent that the
phrase "foreign possessions" would
mean the possessions of some other
government. If the convention wras
speaking of the Philippines, they un
wittingly told . the truth. They are
"foreign possessions" and do not be
long to us, unless making the pro
vinces "a . howling wilderness." kill
ing 50,000 of. the inhabitants and burn
ing their towns gives us a title to
them. . . , ,
The - Imperialists are? rallying their
clerical divisions in all parts of the
country.' From the pulpits comes
forth the cry of conquest. Rev. Chas.
H. Brent of Boston, the new episcopal
bishop of the Philippines, blazed forth
in a burst of oratory the other day
in defense of the methods of war in
the Philippines. "I believe," he cried,
"that the nation is more sacred than
the constitution." ......
The bill filed against the meat trust,
which would make at least four col
umns In The Independent, may be all
stated in the following words: The
packers have formed a trust. They', by
collusion, fix the price of both live
stock and meat. The bidding for cat
tle in the stock yards is all a fake, the
price being fixed before the buyers
appear. The trust gets rebates from
the railroads of such large proportions
that no independent company can
compete that is forced to pay the pub
lished rates. The trust , maintains a
blacklist and will jointly refuse to
sell meat to any party whose name is
on the blacklist. By these and sim
ilar means it controls the whole busi
ness and is operating, and has for a
long time been operating in direct
violation of law and will continue so
to do unless an injunction Is issued
by the federal court . prohibiting It.
That is what the attorney general and
his assistants charge and is what The
Independent has said from the begin
ning. Those who have read these col
umns have known all about it for a
longtime. , ...'-
Whether the ship subsidy bill Is to
be passed at the next session of con
gress or not, the fact is that all the
great steamship interests of Europe
firmly believe that it will be and they
are preparing measures in all the par
liaments to offset it. Everything on
thi3 side of the ocean indicates that
it will be passed as soon as the fall
elections are over.
Judge Taft, viceroy of the Philip
pines, recently stated that the acquisi
tion of those islands was a mistake.
It has taken him a long time to find It
out. Every populist in the United
States has made that assertion from
the very beginning of the disgraceful
affair. Populists now say that hav
ing made a mistake, the best thing to
do is to set about correcting it and
"git up and git" out of there as soon
as the troops can be brought home.
Judge Taft favors continuing a known
mistake, wherein he differs from a
populist.
It is generally conceded in Wash
ington that there is no possible chance
for the passage of any isthmian canal
bill at thi3 session. The Independent
has been informing its readers of that
fact ever since this congress first as
sembled. The men whomthe trans
continental railroads have sent to the
house and senate are still under the
perfect control of the men who sent
them there. These great railroads don't
want any isthmian canal and they will
see to it that one is never built as
long as the republican,tleaders depend
on them, for the funds with which to
buy elections.' The last move was
made 'by Senator Hcrarl' who has in
troduced a bill to turn; the whole mat
ter, over .to the president and allow
mm to build a canal across the isth
mus when and where he pleases.
AN IMPORTANT TABULATION
AUDITOR WESTON HAS PRINTED
A SUMMARY OF THE BUSINESS
OF. THE LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANIES OF THE
STATE.'
A COMPILATION OF FIGURES
Which Must Surprise the Average
Citizen Whose Attention Has Not
Been Called to It.
Nebraska has three Standard Life
Insurance companies, of which the
Bankers' Reserve Life Association of
Omaha is the most energetic and suc
cessful. Against it for this reason, the
hot fire of alien enemies has been
chiefly centered. Some facts, shown
by the annual compilation of the au
ditor, will be well worth considering.
The three Nebraska compa-
. nies collected in premiums
during the year 1901 in
round numbers ... $ 265,000
They disbursed during the
same year, chiefly in Ne- .
braska . . . , . . . ; 248,000
During the same' period the
foreign companies doing
business in Nebraska col
lected from Nebraskans ; in
premiums the phenomenal
sum of... . 2,083,000
They disbursed in Nebraska
to beneficiaries the rela
tively insignificant sum of 514,000
They carried out of the state
to enrich alien capitalists
the enormous sum of...... 1,569,000
Of this enormous balance in the life
insurance trade against Nebraska not
one penny pays taxes and not one
penny will ever find its way back to
the Nebraska policy holders.
THE BANKERS' RESERVE LIFE
calls especial attention to these figures
to enlighten the business men of the
state on a commercial situation not
appreciated by them. The folly of
permitting this to continue will be
greater than the folly of the past.
These alien companies must be made
to pay their share -of state taxes, for
every other business is compelled to
pay taxes, and the people of the stale
must be educated to the importance of
abandoning this blood-letting style, of
slow commercial suicide. Every man
who will join in the work of correct
ing this evil by legislation and edu
cation is invited to write his views to
the Bankers' Reserve Life, Omaha,
Neb. ,
B. H. ROBISON, PRESIDENT,
Though Senator Hoar is an .anti-imperialist,
that bill i is the most im
perial thing that was ever introduced
in congress. Congress abdicates its
authority and confers it on the presi
dent. We might as well have a czar
and be done with it.
The facts about the "evidence" con
cerning the torture of Private O'Herne
was stated in the senate by . Senator
Rawlins and is as follows: "Twelve
men were thrown down and subjected
to the water torture. They were called
upon to confess that they . had 4 been
instrumental in bringing about the
death of O'Herne. They were tor
tured one day, but the necessary In
formation was not derived; they were
tortured the second day, and then, be
ing unable to endure the torture long
er, those 12 men, each and every one
of them, said: 'For God's sake, we
cannot endure this torture longer.
What do you want us to say?' The
interpreter, listening attentively, said:
'Confess the charge which has been
made against you.' 'What was that
charge?' 'That you burned this man
for four hours; that you hacked him
to pieces.' Thereupon these men did
confess, and that is the sole basis upon
which is built up this fabric of al
leged cruelty perpetrated by Filipinos
upon this American soldier." Senator
Rawlins is a member of the Philip
pine committee and has heard all the
witnesses who have testified, and
those are the facts testified to.
The Illinois republican state con
vention was held last Thursday and
gave Senator Billy Mason a vigorous
slap in the face. What is known as
the "Yates-Hopkins-Lorimer-Northcott
combination" won a decisive victory.
The convention indorsed the admin
istration of Governor Yates and the
candidacy of Congressman Albert J.
Hopkins of Aurora for United States
senator, by a vote of 1,015 to 4921.
With the usual republican inconsist
ency the platform adopted says: "We
indorse the record of our national
senators and representatives for their
services, in the present congress." And
then says, "recognizing- the ability, ex
perience and fitness of the Hon. Alb
ert J. Hopkins for the position of
United States senator from this state,
we heartily indorse his candidacy for
that position and request the members
of the forty-third general assembly of
Illinois to elect him to represent this
state in the senate of the United
States." This will be a little discour
aging to the Lincoln friends of Chas.
G. Dawes who has been expecting the
senatorial lightning to strike him. Mr.
Dawes announced his withdrawal af
ter the platform was adopted. But
Senator Mason is not so easily scared. .
He says: - "I will-succeed myself as
United States : senator from Illinois.
I have made no fight for delegates. If
it was a straight republican conven
tion it could have nothing to do with
selecting a United States senator. Cer-.
tainly a convention made up by bru
tally unseating regularly elected dele
gates and seating those elected by;
ballot box stuffing and boodle could
have nothing in common with republi
canism.. These ultimate effects will be
to elect me and to defeat Mr, Lori
merjn congress." Senator Mason has
not been - in good -standing -with his
party on the Philippine question. And
the - combination determined to dis
plant him. It required considerable
tactics of the ward politician variety
to turn Mason down and the conven
tion threw out a number of Mason
delegates without any excuse except
that the anti-Mason forces were in the
majority. The only nominations made
were Chris Mamer of Chicago ftfr clerk
of the supreme court; Fred A. Busse
of Chicago for state treasurer; Alfred
Bayliss of Streetor for state superin
tendent, and Mrs. Laura Evans of
Christian county and Wm. B. McKin
ley of Champaign county and L. E.
Kerrick of McClain county for trus
tees of the state university.
The referee in the matter of the
New York state franchise tax law
declares the law is constitutional on
every point. The decision is still to
be passed lipon by the appellate divi
sion of. the supreme court and the
court of an tals.
The democratic congressional com
mittee held a meeting Thursday night
and authorized Representative Griggs
of Georgia to appoint a campaign com
mittee of eleven members. Six of
whom shall be members of the con
gressional committee. It is thought
that Ben T. Cable of Illinois will be
chairman of the committee and Lewis
Nixon of New York chairman of the
finance committee. Representative
Robinson of Nebraska was selected as
one of the committee to prepare cam
paign literature. Other members of.
this committee are Senator Carmack
of Tennessee and Representative Ran
dall of Texas, Seenor of Indiana, Find
lay of South Carolina and F. H. Hos-ford.
The traction people In Chicago are
very much exercised over the decision
of Judge Seaman of the United States
district court. He ruled against the
Union Traction company by refusing
to lake jurisdiction in a suit brought
Ly the company to establish the val
idity of the Illinois 99-year franchise
act. This act was passed many years
ago, but the city officials maintain that
it has been abrogated by more recent
legislation. In case this law is not
valid many of the principal . street
railway franchises will expire next
year and the traction people fear that
their graft is about ended. In view of
the overwhelming vote at the recent
Chicago election in favor of municipal
ownership of the street railways, these
beneficiaries of special privileges have
good reason to be worried.
