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. Mr. Byron J. Kirkhuff, attorney, Uyron J. Kirkhuff, Attorney Hnd Counsellor at Law. conns ellor-at law writes from 691 Gates ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., the following: “I have used your Peruua for catarrh and find its c u r a t i v e powers all you recommend. 11 cured me of a very bad attack and though I Buffered for years I feel en tirely relieved, and if It will benefit others, I gladly give it my endorsement.—B. J. KirkhufT. If you do not derive prompt and ratisfactory results from the use of Peruua, write at once to Dr. Hart man, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Expressions Emulative for the Go<xl of Republican Supremacy. 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 put'tx AmouutlnK lo Only iil,li(ll,3U0 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.
