A UNITED STATES SENATOR
SAYS THAT PE-RU-NA, THE CATARRH CURE, GIVES STRENGTH
AND APPETITE.
Hon. W. N. Roach, United States Senator from North Dakota.
Hon. W. N. Roach, United States Senator from North Dakota, per
sonally endorses Pcruna, the great catarrh cure and tonic. In a recent
letter to The Pcruna Medicine Company, at Columbus, Ohio, written
from Washington, D. C., Senator Roach says:
••Persuaded by a friend I have used Peruna as a tonic, and I 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 efflcatious as a cure for
the almost universal complaint of catarrh.”—W. N. Poach, Larimore,
North Dakota.
No other remedy can take the place of Peruna.
Mr. Ed J. Makinson, contractor
and builder, CIO Grand Block, Wa
bash street, St. 1‘aul, Minn., says:
Mr. E. .1. Maklnaon,
Coutrartor nu.1
builder.
"Many doctor
bills can bo
saved by tho
use of Peruna.
1 have all my
frlend3 taking
Peruna, and 1
have heard
nothing but
pr a 1 s e from
them. Last fall
I had a bad
cough. 1 took
four bottles of
Peruna and it
cured me. I am
inclined to
wards c o n
sumption, as all
my family have
died with it. 1
weight 1S5 pounds, and I believe It
Is Peruna that has given me such
good health.”—J. Makinson.
As a result of the changeable cli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal dis
eases known to man. Nearly one
third of the people of the United
8tates are afflicted with catarrh in
some of its many phases and stages.
Add to this the ract 'tnat catarrh rap
idly tends to become fixed or chronic,
aim the further fact that It Is ca
pable of producing a great many
other diseases, and wo begin to real
ise tl.e true nature of this dread dis
ease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that In every city or town of any
size numerous doctors are to Uo
found v.ho make the treatment of ca
tarrh a specialty. Of course a great
deal of good is accomplished in this
way, but as yet a comparatively
small number of the people can avail
themselves of this treatment be
cause of the great expense necessa
rily attached to it.
To all such p?ople Dr. Hartman’s
remedy, Peruna, comes as a great
boon. Not only is it more successful
in curing catarrh than the treatment
of the catarrh specialists, but It is
within the reach of every person In
tiiis land. Peruna can be bought at
any drug store, and is a remedy
without equal for catarrh in all
forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis, con
sumption, and all climatic diseases of
winter.
Peruna is not a guess, nor an ex
periment; It 13 an absolute, scien
tific certainty. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Peruna has no
substitutes—no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna. Let no one persuade
you that some other remedy will do
nearly as well. There is no other
systemic remedy for catarrh but Pe
runa.

LINCOLN. Feb. 25.
Tick-tock, tlck-tock goes the clock,
the days glide swiftly by, and still the
legislature has not chosen United Stat
es senators. And the people are tired.
Rut in the midst of the hurly-burly
a gleam of sunshine was spread by
Governor Dietrich's reception to ex
governors held at the executive man
sion on the evening of Washington's
birthday.
Seven of the men who have been
governors of the stale responded to
the invitation and at the suggestion of
Governor Dietrich they resolved to
meet annually on Washington's birth
day. The ex-governors present were
Robert W. Furnas of Brownville, Gen.
John M. Thayer of Lincoln. James E.
Boyd of Omaha. Lorenzo Crounse of
Calhoun. Silas A. Holcomb and Will
iam A. Poynter of Lincoln. Two of the
party are nearly eighty years old.
Enmity had existed between General
Thayer and Mr. Boyd for the past ten
years, but Governor Dietrich brought
them together and their differences
were forgotten. When the two were
brought together, Mr. Boyd extended
his hand.
"Let bygones be bygones,” he aaid
with a smile.
"I am willing,” said the venerable
warrior.
Thus closed a difference dating from
the year 1891 when both men were
contestants for the governor's office,
General Thayer claiming'the right to
hold over on the ground that Mr. Boyd
was not a citizen of the United States
at the time of his election. The liti
gation which followed finally resulted
in Mr. Boyd’s entrance to the office
for the second time after his election.
General Thayer on that occasion ex
tended his hand in greeting, but Gov
ernor Boyd refused to accept it.
Both entered into the spirit of the
gathering yesterday. Before the party
broke up and after the guests had sat
for a photograph General Thayer and
Mr. Boyd stood alone surrounded by
(lowers while the photographer took a
picture of them.
Silas Barber of Red Cloud, one of
the invited guests, was unable to come
on account of sickness. Two other ex
governors were unable to be present,
Albinus Nance of Chicago and James
W. Dawes, the latter being in Cuba.
The party remained together four or
five hours enjoying the hospitality of
Governor Dietrich and relating remin
iscences of the early days in Nebras
ka. In this all were able to join,
though Governor Furnas. Governor
Thayer and Governor Crour.se were
the earlier settlers. Governor Furnas
took his seat as governor January 13,
1873. The reunion brought out the
fact that nil the ex-governors of the
state are alive except David Butler.
Ex-Governor Alvin Saunders, who was
elected in 1861. when Nebraska was a
territory, died a year or two ago.
Senator Currie is a cattle man and
lias been called the collegiate cowboy.
During the last session of the legisla
ture he took an important part in edu
cational legislation. Now that he is a
candidate for United States senator
one of his opponents has tried to dis
credit him by saying he is not a college
graduate as lias been so widely adver
tised. Mr. Currie graduated from Al
legheny college at Meadvllle, Pa., and
took a most thorough course in lan
guages. His standing was remarka
bly high and at the close of his col
lege course he thought himself capa
ble of giving instruction in Greek. Lat
in, German and Spanish. Mr. Currie
has always had a desire to engage in
literary work and but for an accident
or rather negligence on Ills part he
might have embarked on • career of
letters instead of his present calling.
After leaving college he registered
with an educational employment agen
cy in Chicago and one of his recom
mendations was iiis ability to teach
German and Spanish, an unusual com
blnat'.on. Ho ramp to Dunbar, Neb.,
and later went went without leaving
his address. He was (tone on month
and on his return found a telegram
ttating that an instructor was wanted
at a college at Pueblo at a salary of
$2,500 a year. Mr. Currie wired at once,
but In reply he was informed that the
college had been obliged to employ
two instructors, one for German and
the other for Spanish. Mr. Currie was
then working for $75 a month. Later
he went into the cattle business and
today his herds may be said to graze
on a thousand hills.
The newspapers of the state a>o
either warmly indorsing the “stalwart
republicans” who walked out of the
caucus or are saying very little nbout
them. The number of papers that crit
icise is so small that they may be
counted on the fingers of one hand, ac
cording to a man who looked over the
exchange pile representing last week’s
issue. The sentiment is generally ex
pressed that the situation is so acute
that the retirement of the leaders
who cannot be elected is imperatively
demanded for the good of the party
and of the state.
Governor Dietrich has issued a proc
lamation declaring the town of York
to he a city of the second class. The
proclamation is based on the recent
census which gives York 5,132 inhabi
tants. C. A. McCloud brought the of
ficial notice of the census report to the
governor's attention, with a request
that such a proclamation be issued. ,
While a groat deal of loose talk is
heard about the friendship of the fu
sionists for D. E. Thompson and the
certainty that he can induce a large
number of ihem to absent themselves
from the joint convention in order to
aid in his election, his opponents do
not look for any serious trouble from
that score. A general agreement has
been reached among the republicans
that no dickering with the opposition
will be permitted, and it is only fair
to Mr. Thompson and his hoard of
strategy to say that they do not seem
to show any disposition to take that
sort of action.
Repeated rumors of Intervention of
members of the republican national
commit!** in the Nebraska senatorial
contest have been circulated, but all
who have been questioned regarding
the matter have maintained silence on
the subject. It was learned Saturday
that H. C. Payne of Milwaukee, a
member of the executive committee
had written a letter to Speaker Sears
of the house and Senator Steele, presi
dent of the senate. The letter shows
that the national committee is taking a
deep interest in the deadlock and in
likely to take still further interest in
the outcome. Mr. Payne is one of the
prominent members of the committee
and is generally regarded as being the
spokesman of the committee. No mem
bers of the legislature except Speaker
Sears and President Steele have re
ceived any communication from tho
national committee as farf as known.
Ore who received the letter is an ar
dent supporter of Thompson and the
other is among the strongest oppo
nents of Thompson. The letter is us
follows:
"Pardon me, an entire stranger, for
writing you this letter. My only ex
cuse :'s the dc'-p anxiety which I feel
that thr* legislature of Nebraska should
net adjourn without electing two re
publican United States senators. If it
should adjourn without doing this, it
would be a calamity to the party in
the state of Nebraska and would have
the e ffect of disrupting and demoraliz
ing the republicans of Nebraska worse
than tho party has ever been demoral
ized there. That is the way it looks
to an outsider who has had consider
able experience In politics.
"I am not writing in the interest of
any individual candidate, nor am I
hostile to any individual candidate be
fore your legislature for the honorable
position of senator, but it seems to me
that something ought to he done and
that at once, to terminate the unfor
tunate deadlock existing, and if it is
not possible to be done through local
influence cannot those interested be
persuaded into calling in prominent
outside republicans to recommend
some plan of action?
"Along; this line, pardon mp if I sur
gest that those members of the repub
lican national executive committee
who had charge of Chicago headquar
ters in the last presidential campaign
would be glad to act officially as a
committee to make suggestions or
recommendations for terminating the
unhappy situation which exists in your
state. Not one of this committee has
any prejudice or acquaintances so far
as I know- with the individual candi
dates that in any way would affect
their judgment in the slightest degree
as to the proper course to be pursued.
I should much like to hear from you.
"This letter is written after consul
tation with prominent, leading repub
licans of the country, who feel very
deeply over the present conditions in
your legislature. Very sincerely yours,
"H. C. PAYNE.
“P. S. It is not intended to suggest
that any outsiders should bo called
upon to advise who should be elected
by your legislature, but that they
might make suggestions or recommen
dations regarding the rules governing
your caucus, which would he entirely
in line with republican precedent and
usage, and which might be effective
>n bringing to a conclusion your un
fortunate deadlock."
Every one connected with the sena
torial contest i3 confident that two sen
ators will be elected, but the members
of the legislature are not yet in a
ii'ume of mind to cause a break-up of
the deadlock.
Representative Miller’s bill (o make
political parties responsible for de
falcations of officers elected on their
tickets, is an insidious trap to reduce
the number of names of the corpora
tions now combined in the fusion trust.
Of course when a republican defaulted
there would be no way but to pay up
and go on.
Rut if a fusionist defaulted, it would
be claimed and proved that he was a
“people's independent" or a “demo
crat" or a “free silver republican” and
the party would never pay up, but
another name would be invented to
take the place of the missing one or
the trust would manage to wiggle
along with two conventions instead of
three and the circus would not be
stopped for a minute.
Could the bill be retroactive it would
obliterate one or another of the fu
sion party names in about fifteen coun
ties in the state, but it wouldn’t hit the
“fusionists" anywhere.
Governor Dietrich and his military
staff have completed arrangements to
attend the inaugural services at Wash
ington, March 4. The party will leave
Lincoln February 28, at 8 o’clock over
the Burlington in a special car. An
effort is being made to include the
Pershing Rifles, a military organiza
tion comprising university students,
but no definite announcement has been
made. Miss Dietrich, the governor's
daughter, will join the party at Wash
ington. The members of the staff will
be mounted and represent Nebraska in
tho inaugural parade.
Both houses of the legislature are in
favor of the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
A joint resolution asking congress to
call a convention to submit this
amendment was passed and has gone
to the governor for his approval.
Representative Marshall of Otoe
county has introduced a bill which is
to prevent cartoonists from taking an
undue advantage of people by publish
ing caricatures of them in any pamph
let, paper or publication. The bill
provides a penalty of a fine not greater
than $100 for each offense.
The Nebraska Post Co. of Lincoln
has filed articles of incorporation with
the secretary of state. The company
has an authorized capital stock of $20,
000. H. F. Hockey and H. C. Nelbuhf
arc the principal owners.
RECORD OF A DECADE
CHANCES IN COMMERCE OF
THE UNITED STATES.
From an Elect* of Export* 0**r I in

a 1800, tlio Excel* for 1900 Hu* Kliien
to tlio Enoriuou* Sum of 9048,998,738
Tiie remarkable change which has
come over the commerce of the United
States in ‘.he decade ending with the
calendar year of 1900 Illustrates as
nothing else could the practical bene
fits the country has experienced
through the operations of the Dingley
tariff law. The figures of the treasury
bureau of statistics show that imports,
which In 1890 were 18123,397,726, were
in 1900 $829,052,116, an increase of less
than 1 per cent in the decade, while
the exports, which, in 1890 were $857,
502,548, were in 1900 $1,478,850,854, an
lucreaso of 72.4 per cent. In 1890 the
excess of exports over imports was
$5,654,390; in 1900 it was $648,993,738.
Figures like these make foreign manu
facturers very unhappy, and they pro
duce a feeling closely akin to misery in
the breasts of domestic free-traders.
In our trade relations with the vari
ous parts of the world the change is
j equally striking. From Europe we
1 have reduced our imports in the dec
ade from $474,000,000 to $439,000,000,
i while in the same time we have in
| creased our exports from $682,000,000
! to $1,111,000,000. From North Ameri
ca imports fell from $151,000,000 in 1891
to $131,000,000 in 1900,while our exports
to North America increased during
! that time from $95,000,000 to $202,000,
1 000. From South America the imports
| increased from $101,000,000 in 1890 to
$102,000,000 in 1900, while to South
America our exports increased from
$35,000,000 to $41,000,000. From Asia
: the imports into the United States in
creased from $69,000,000 in 1900 to
$123,000,000 in 1900, while to Asia our
| exports in the same time increased
' from $23,000,000 to $61,000,000. From
\ Oceania the importations in 1890 were
$23,000,000, and in 1900 were $23,000,090,
while to Oceania our exports in 1890
were $17,000,000, and in 1900 $40,000,
000. From Africa importations in
creased from $3,000,000 in 1890 to $9,
000,000 in 1900, and exportations to
Africa increased from $4,500,000 in 1890
to $22,000,000 in 1900.
The changes in the movements to
and from the continents are due to
i two great causes, both arising directly
from effective tariff protection: First,
the increase in home manufactures,
which were formerly drawn chiefly
from abroad, and, second, the diversifl
fication of products by which markets
are made for many articles which for
! merly were produced or exported in
! but small quantities. From Europe, to
] which, under partial or total Free
Trade conditions, we were accustomed
to look for manufactures, our imports
have fallen over $35,000,000, while Eu
rope has largely increased her con
sumption of our cotton seed oil, oleo
margarine, paraffin, manufacturers of
iron and steel, copper and agricultural
machinery, as well as food stuffs and
cotton, our exports to that grand di
vision having increased $428,000,000
since 1890. From North America the
imports have fallen $20,000,000, due
chiefly to the failing off of sugar pro
duction in the West Indies, the im
ports from Cuba alone having decreas
ed from $54,000,000 in 1890 to $27,000,
000 in 1900. To North America the ex
ports have increased meantime ov r
$100,000,000, the growth being largely
manufactures and food stuffs, a con
siderable portion of tbe latter being
: presumably re-exported thence to Eu
: rope. From South America the ina
| ports have increased in quantity, cs
! pecially in coffee and rubber, but de
| creased proportionately In price, so
.that the total increase in value in the
decade is but a million dollars, while
In exports the increase is $6,500,600,
chiefly in manufactures. From Asia
the importations have Increased more
than $.10,000,000, the increase being
chiefly in sugar and raw materials re
quired by our manufacturers, such as
silk, hemp, Jute and tin; while to Asia
the increase in our exports lias been
nearly $40,000,000, principally in
manufactures and raw cotton. From
Oceania the imports show little in
crease, though this is due in part to
the absence of statistics of importation
from Hawaii in the last half of the
year 1900; w hile to Oceania there is an
increase in our exports of more than
$20,000,000, chiefly in manufactured
articles. From Africa the in
crease in. imports is $6,000,000, princi
pally in manufacturers’ materials, of
which raw cotton forms the most im
portant item, while our exports to Af
rica increased meantime $17,000,000,
chiefly in manufactures.
PROMISE OF EVEN BETTER
THINGS.
Thomas Lowry of Minnesota is not
one of the "doubting Thomases” who
. think that, under Dingley law protec
tion, industrial prosperity has reached
i such a height in this country that
! there must come a fall. This is his
| opinion, as expressed in a recent inter
I view:
"Bright as was the outlook toward
the close of the year, all the promises
and all the expectations now are of
even better things. The prosperity of
the country is exceptionally substan
tial and, to my mind, there is no doubt
of its continuance. Everywhere you
go you see the signs of the times. The
farmer, the artisan, the merchant, the
manufacturer, the transportation men
—all are doing well; all are confident.”
Mr. Lowry has the advantage over
his less optimistic friends the facts
which are being reported from all
orer the country give valiant support
to the truthfulness of the statements
which ho makes and to the wisdom of
the opinion which he expresses. They
tell a story of continually advancing
prosperity which has few halts in th«
line of march.
RIGHT MAN, RIGHT PLACE.
The wool growers of the United
States are to be congratulated upon
the election by the National Associa
tion, in convention at Salt Lake. Utah,
Jan. 19, of Hon. Francis E. Warren as
president. It is clearly a case of tho
right man in the right place. Alike by
virtue of his position as a senator of
the United States and Ills marked char
acteristics of strong brain and vigor
ous practical common sense, President
Warren is peculiarly qualified to repre
sent the wool growing industry of this
country. His eminent fitness to stand
in that relation was emphatically
demonstrated in his recent address at
the annual banquet of tho National As
sociation of Wool Manufacturers. A
man of that stamp is precisely the man
needed, and the Salt Lake convention
was fortunate in getting him.
A SOLVED PROBLEM.
In an extended consideration of tho
cause of American supremacy in the
domain of manufactures the London
Express remarks:
“The secret of the success of Ameri
can competition, therefore, is not cheap
labor, but cheap production, which is a
>”ry different thing. The latter often
means highly paid, efficient labor and
costly machinery.”
That is precisely the problem which
protection undertook to solve and has
solved. It has shown how to pay the
highest wages and at the same time
obtain the lowest cost of production.
To do this it was necessary to increase
production, and in order to increase
production a market must be assured.
Protection assures the market, and the
producers do the rest.
A LEADING QUESTION.
i *
Singularly Appropriate.
“You call your pet bear ‘William
Jennings Bryan.' That’s a tribute to
admiration, I suppose, for the fallen
chief.”
“Not exactly. I call him that be
cause it’s so hard to let go of him
when he takes you In his hug.”—Chi
engo Tribune.
A t'lian?e, Indeed.
At a revival in a small Indiana town
one of the "saved” confessed that he
took money to vote for McKinley and
then voted for Bryan. He has prom
ised that in the future he will lead a
better life and vote as lie is paid.
What n change would come over In
diana if all her voters should get re
ligion.—Washington Post.
Are Always Wrong.
The gist of Mr. Bryan’s speech at
the Lincoln club banquet was: ”My
principles—may they always be right;
but right or wrong, my principles.”—
Minneapolis Tribune.
Try to Heat the Yankees.
One of the ways in which Germany
has been seeking to shut cut American
goods from her markets is by refus
ing advertisements of things made in
the United States. Frank H. Mason,
the American consul general in Ber
lin, reports to the state department
that for the last six years the Ger
man trade papers have refused to pub
lish advertisements of American bicy
cles and sewing machines. The tarifT
did not shut out the American bicy
cles, so the German manufacturers got
together and declared that they would
patronize no paper devoted to the bi
cycle trade which took advertisements
of American wheels. Several German
manufacturers of bicycles are also
manufacturers of sewing machines, and
they decided to include those In the
boycott list. At first there was con
siderable damage done to the American
trade, but after awhile the Yankee
traders flooded Germany with gor
geous pasters and ‘‘taking" circulars
and are now in a position to ignore the
German trade papers—which they do.
Mystery In Wlr«le»» Telegraphy.
Considerable mystery appears to en
shroud the latest developments of Sig
nor Marconi's \vireles3 telegraphy. He
has purchased some land at Mullion.
near the Lizard, where a large amount
of machinery has been set up and
buildings are being erected; but the
greatest secrecy is observed, and not
even the late proprietor of the land la
admitted to the premises. It is ru
mored in the district that Signor Mar
coni expects in about three months to
send messages to New York at a cost
of a halfpenny a word; but possibly
this anticipation is unduly sanguine.
The bread eaters of the world require
more than 2,300,000,000 bushel* of
wheat every twelve months.
