Miss Rose Cullen , President Young Woman's Club , of Butte , Mont , writes from 921 Galena street , as follows : "Peruna has many friends in Butte. I cannot say too much In praise of it. While finishing school I became very nervous and exhausted from over-study. I was weak and sick , and could neither eat , sleep nor enjoy life. A couple of bottles of Peruna put new life in me. I find that having it in the house and taking a dose off and on keeps me in fine health. "A large number of my friends place Peruna at the head of all medicines. " Miss Rose Cullen.

HEARD , Hempstead , Texas , writes : "We have moved recently , and I must have lifted something that was too heavy for me in straightening things up , for I had such a backache and could hardly stand on my feet at all. Beside , I was so tired all the time. My face was spotted and I was very thin. I took one bottle of Pe- runa and was soon real well. When I feel tired and all run down I take Peruna and feel all right before I fin ish one bottle. I know it is a won derful medicine , and both myself and iusband praise Peruna. "There has been a great deal of .sickness through this part of the coun try , but , thanks to Peruna , which we use freely , our own family has escaped iwith almost no sickness at all.

She weighed about 190 pounds when she was in good health. When she commenced with our family physician in April , 1898 , she weighed about 130 , but kept going down all the time. She went to Atlanta , Ga. , and took treatment , but it did her no good. Then she went to Harmony Grove , Ga. , and took treatment from the best phy sician there for three months. She kept going down under his treatment , although he was considered the best physician in the county. She went down from 130 pounds to 68 , and we saw she could not live long. She was a skeleton. We consulted an old phy sician who told her to use Peruna. She gradually improved and got stronger. She has gained 38 pounds since she has taken Peruna , and is gaining ev ery day , and does her own housework. "She , was well known when she was so low , and now everybody wants to know what cured her. She had indiges tion and catarrh of the stomach. It is as good for children as for grown pee ple.

M'KINLEY IS NOT INFORMED Those at the Bedside of the letter Feat that Such Information Would Bo Severe - vero as Both Women Wore Near and Bear to Each Other. WASHINGTON , May 13 Mrs. Ly- man J. Gage , wife of the secretary of the treasury , died at her residence , 1715 Massachusetts avenue , N. W. , at 9:30 o'clock tonight , after an illness of nine weeks' duration. With her when the end came were her husband , her married daughter , Mrs. E. F. Pierce of Evanston , 111. , and Dr. W. W. Johnson , the attending physician. For a time before her death Mrs. Gage suffered considerable pain , but she maintained her bright and cheer ful demeanor and was conscious to the last. Heart trouble , the result of grip complications , was the immediate cause of death. Mrs. Gage was ex posed to the inclement weather for about an hour 'On inauguration day , but at the time her health did not seem to have been affected. March 11 she left here for Evanston to visit her daughter. While there she ex perienced a chill and took to her bed , but soon recovered sufficiently to re turn to Washington , where she has been confined to her room ever since. Mrs. Gage was a native of Albany , N. Y. , and 58 years of age. She was married to Secretary Gage in Denver in 1887. There were no children from their union , Mrs. Pierce being a child by a former husband. The remains will be interred in Rose Hill cemetery , near Chicago. Further than this the funeral serv ices have not beeen arranged. It is probable , however , that religious ser vices of a simple character will be held at her former residence in this city on Sunday morning , in which event the body will leave here by the morning train for Chicago. Mrs. Gage was an Episcopalian in her religious belief , but during their residence here she and the secretary have had a pew in the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church , where the president attends. Dr. Hillis of Plymouth church , Brooklyn , is an intimate friend of the family and it is possible that he may be asked to come to Washington to conduct the funeral services here. During their residence in Washing ton , Secretary and Mrs. Gage have taken quite an active part in social life at the capital. Mrs. , Gage was a woman of charming personality and , with her husband , delighted in ex tending the hospitality of their ele gant home on Massachusetts avenue. Mrs. Gage was probably closer to Mrs. McKinley than any other of the ladies of the cabinet. SAN FRANCISCO , May , 18 The news of the death of Mrs. Gage was received by the members of the pres ident's official family in this city with expressions of regret. The Associa ted Press bulletin , which was trans mitted to Secretary Cortelyou at the Scott residence , conveyed the news to President McKinley. Extra precau tions were taken to keep news of Mrs. Gage's death from Mrs. McKin ley. THE BAD SIGNS RETURN. Mrs. McKinley Groivs Worse After a Bay of Encouraging Symptoms.

Last night's Instructions from the bedside of Mrs. McKinley gives more encour aging indications. Late yesterday afternoon she rallied a bit and called for nourishment. To the anxious watchers about her this was consid ered as a favorable sign. The symp toms -were sufficiently improved dur ing the late afternoon to permit the president to take a short walk in the open air , but his anxiety was so manifest that he speedily returned to his wife's bedside. The most pow erful stimulants known to the medi cal profession have been resorted to , in the hope of effecting a rally , and they were so effective that towards midnight the physicians expressed much satisfaction and issued a de cidedly encouraging statement. SAN FRANCISCO , May 16. 10 p. m. Dr. Hirshfelder and H. T. Scott have just left the Scott residence. Dr. Hirschfelder has gone home for the night.

At this hour the lights in the building are out with the exception of one in the telegraph room. WOULD SET UP NEW EMPIRE. Seventy Thousand Rebels Becoming Hiffh- Handed. VANCOUVER , B. C. , May 17.

The case was that against J. W. Mor risen , a glove manufacturer of Grin- nell , who was arrested for violation of the contract labor law by employ ing skilled glovemakers to come from Europe to make gloves.

Complaining and Defending Paotiona Each have a Delegate on the "Way , ARE TO EXPLAIN THEIR TROUBLES Petition Asking Hawaiian Governor's .Removal Is to Be Postponed Repub licans Send an KndorBeineiit Contra dicting Homo Ruler's Clmrjjos. HONOLULU , May 8. Via San Francisco , May 15. By the steamer Maripoea today Horns Rule Repre sentative F. W. Beckley , Hon. Samuel Parker , Delegate R. W. Wilcox leave for San Francisco. Beckley goes to lay before President McKinley a home rule resolution passed in the house and senate asking for the re moval of Governor Dole. Parker has a memorial unanimously Indorsed by the republican members of both houses and by the territorial repub lican central committee replying to the home rule charges against Dole. "Wilcox is on his way back to "Wash ington and says he has nothing to do with the fight. In the house this morning , Repre sentative Emmeluth , home rule , made a sensational speech against the gov ernor. The legislature had been call ed in special session for appropriation bills and had just completed its or ganization when Emmeluth introduc ed a resolution to provide for the sending of Berkley to San Francisco. In support of It he declared that the conditions that had led to the revolt In 1893 had developed again , with Dole now the usurper of power in stead of the ex-queen. It was intend ed by the home rulers to have the resolution to send Beckley concur rent , but the senate adjourned for the day too early , and , as the steamer was leaving this afternoon , the house passed it as a house resolution. Both houses organized for business and re-elected most of their former organ izations. The republican members of the leg islature and the members of the cen tral committee and the joint caucus have endorsed the action of Governor Dole in refusing to extend the ses sion of the legislature , and after the adoption of the home rule resolution of last week making charges against the governor , asking for his removal and declaring that he was responsible for the failure of the legislature to do any considerable amount of busi ness , the republicans prepared a state ment in reply which Samuel Parker takes with him. The reply states that the home rule party , having control of the legisla ture , blocked every effort at substan tial legislation ; that bills were so illogically - logically put together that it was im possible to do anything with them ; that the home rule party was con stantly hampered with petty jealous ies , and that these party bickerings caused the president of the senate , himself a member of the home rule party , to resign in disgust. The reply states further that one of the causes o ? the failure of the members of the home rule party to attain their ob jects , and which prevented the legis lature from accomplishing more , was the insistence of the home rule mem bers upon the use of the Hawaiian language in the legislative proceed ings , notwithstanding the organic act provides that "All legislative proceed ings shall be conducted in the English language. " They elected interpreters and required interpretation of all bills , resolutions , motions and de bates. Mrs. Nation Denies Insanity. TOPEKA , Kan. , May 1G.
