I , . A GIFTED AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL
Threatened With Nervous Prostration ,
PROMPTLY SAVED BY PE-RU-NA.
MISS ROSE CULLEN , OF BUTTE , A10NT.
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.
How Pornna Quickly Cures Backache ,
the Bane of Womankind.
RS. G. W. 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.
"Could you but see our baby Ruby ,
( to whom we gave Peruna for bowel
trouble ) , you would see from her ro-
tust looks that you need no better ad
vertisement in this little town. She
is so fat and rosy"is nearly five years
old now , and is a great believer in Pe
runa. " Mrs. G. W. Heard.

where we thought all they did was
against her. 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. We haven't had to have a doctor
for one of our children since 1898. "

Wife of Secretary Succumbs After Illness
of Nine Weeks ,
MRS. 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.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 18 As the
night wore on Mrs. McKinley became
restless and the early morning hours
are looked forward to with more ap
prehension.
She did not take nourishment free
ly , as she had done earlier in the
day.
Powerful stimulants , including ox
ygen , have been administered during
the afternoon and evening.
The bone felon on her hand has
spread and has discharged pus from
another place. The new wound has
been lanced.
Troy Strike Is Settled.
TROY , N. Y. , May 18. A commit
tee from the Troy division of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employes has waited upor
Mayor Conway and informed him thai
the strike has been settled. The com
mittee said that under the terms of
the agreement the employes are to
receive 20 cents per hour and that
the company will treat with a com
mittee of either union or non-union
men. Headquarters were visited and
members of the union informed.

ST. PAUL , Minn. , May 18. Today
is being devoted to a pleasure trip
by the railway conductors and their
families. Two important matters
have been virtually decided in the ex
ecutive sessions. It was determined
to continue the grand offices at Cedar
Rapids , la. , where they have been for
eleven years , and it was decided to
co-operate as far as possible with the
other railroad fraternities in the set
tlement of labor disputes.
MRS. M'KINLEY IS IMPROVED.
A. Change thnt Indicates Store Hope for
President's TV'lfe.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 17. 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.
He said that he felt that Mrs. Mc
Kinley was decidedly improved. Mr.
Scott was much pleased over her con
dition. Secretary Cortelyou an
nounced that no further bulletins
would be given out tonight unless
unexpected developments should take
place.
At this hour the lights in the
building are out with the exception
of one in the telegraph room.

Becidcs It Is a New Industry.
DES MOINBS , May 17. Judge McPherson -
Pherson , in federal court , decided that
the manufacture of women's gloves is
a new industry in the United States.
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. The court
holds that there were no women's
gloves made in the United States
prior to 1887 and unless the prosecu
tion can show that Morrison's busi
ness was established before the con
tract labor law was passed he will go
free.

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.

BONANZA STRIKE IN WYOMING
Gold Whose Kichncss Causes a Kush
I'oand in the Mountains.
CHEYENNE , Wyo. , May 1 ? r
Word was received here today \ a
,
bonanza gold strike made last Mon
day in the mountains four miles from
Atlantic City by Hoisington and Carr ,
two old prospectors. Pieces of rich
float had been picked up * n the vicin
ity and the prospectors ran an open
cut. In this a ledge of ore running
S20.000 a ton in gold was struck near
the grass roots. Great excitement
prevails and a rush to the district has
set in. The scene of the discovery is
midway between the famous Atlantic
City and Southern Pass cold camps ,
100 miles distant north of the Union
Pacific , in Fremont county. Over a
quarter of a century ago millions of
dollars worth of gold was mined in
the district , but most of the mines
were abandoned during the Black
Hills excitement. One mine , the Ca-
rissa , has been a steady producer of
gold.
