Miss Rose Cull en President Young Womans 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 pver 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 Peruna Quickly Cures Backache
the Bano of Womankind
G W HEARD Hempstead
MRS
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
husband praise Peruna
There has been a great deal of
eickness through this part of the coun
try but thanks to Peruna which -we
use freely our own family has escaped
with 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
bust 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
Given Up to Die All Doctors Failed It
Proved to be Catarrh of Stomach
and Was Cured by Peruna
iW A Mitchell dealer in general
merchandise of Martin Ga writes
I wrote you some time ago con
cerning my wifes case She had tried
all of the best doctors and we got to
WINCHE
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 6a 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 Sho
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 peo
ple We havent had to have a doctor
for one of our children since 1898

DEATH OF MRS GAGE
Wife of Secretary Succumbs After Illness
of Nine Weeks
MRS MKINLEY IS NOT INFORMED
Tboso at the Bedside of the tatter Feai
that Sach Information Would Bo Se
vere as Both Women Were Hear and
Dear to Each Other
WASHINGTON May 18 Mrs Ly
man J Gage wife of the secretary of
the treasury died at her residence
1715 Massachusetts avenue N W at
930 oclock 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 Evan3ton 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
idents 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 Gages death from Mrs McKin
ley

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 wifes 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

much satisfaction and issued a de
cidedly encouraging statement

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 il
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
of 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

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET
JLatest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City
SOUTH OMAHA
CATTLE There was rather a light
supply of cattle on sale as receipts In
cluded a biff stringr of Texas cattle that
were not offered on the market The de
mand was good on tho part or all tno
local packers as as a result the bulk
of the cattle soon changed hands There
were about sixty cars of beef steers on
sale and packers started out and tried
to buy their supplies a littlo easier Sell
ers however held for stronger prices
and as packers wanted the cattle they
had to pay steady to stronger prices as
compared with yesterday After the
market was fairly started the good cat
tle sold readily and the market closed
up good and strong and in some cases
sales were made that looked quite a
little higher than the same kind sold yes
terday There were only about ten cars
of butcher stock on sale and the market
ruled active and stead- to strong all
around Cow stuff is easily a dime high
er than it was at the close of last week
There were not enough feeders on sale
to make a market There are very few
in the hands of speculators at the pres
ent time but owing to the light demand
from the country they do not want any
great number
HOGS There was not a very heavy run
of hogs and the market opened a good
2c higher on the heavy hogs The light
hogs however were very hard to dis
pose of at any figure and in a good many
cases sellers complained that they could
not get more than steady prices for that
calss The bulk of the mixed hogs sold
this morning at 367 and 370 It was
not a particularly active market but
stil they kept moving toward the scales
and the more desirable loads were out of
Arts hands in good seasqn
SHEEP There were only about four
cars of sheep and lambs on sale and the
market could be quoted strong and ac
tive Clipped wethers sold at 425 clipped
lambs at 460 and a bunch of Colorado
wooled lambs were sold to arive at 310
wooled lambs were sold to arrive at 310
mand and the general belief is that they
would have brought from 315 to 523
today had there been any on sale
