PEOPLE MOI SICK,
But Miserable, Weak, Nervous, Tired
Dyspeptic. s eepless and Mel.
aYNb.11y


The number of people who consider
themselves as really sick or invalids
are few in compa ison to the number
of people who feel miserable month
after month, but will not give up, con-
tinuing to do their regular work. This
class of people do not think they need
to take medicine. Indeed they dread
to begin taking medicine for fear they
will get worse instead of better. The
fact is, however, there Is no class
of people who would receive more
prompt and lasting benefit from medi-
cine than this very class
Perhaps 1t is a tired housewife with
large family and house to take care
of. She is nol actually sick abed but
manages to drag herself around weari-
ly through her daily tasks. She Is
subject to backache, bearing down
sensations in the lower part OF the alb
domeD; perhaps nervous headache and
poor digestion. Such a person would
be benefited beyond description by
taking spoonful of Peru ma every
three hours. Or perhaps it is busl-
ness man who Is confined to the office
most of the day with little or no physi-
cal exercise. His appetite ls poor and
changeable. He may be bilious or
constipated, nervous and irritable,
and stomach continually out of order.
A large tablespoonful of Pe-ru-na be-
fore each meal and at bedtime, grau-
ally increased to two tablespoonful,
would readily relieve and permanent
ly cure in a reasonable time.
People recovering from acute dis
eases find Pe-ru-na to be without an
equal as a strengthening medicine.
Overworked farmers need dose of
Pe-ru-na before each meal to strength
en- digestion and invigorate the sys.
tenn.
School boys or school girls over
taxed with study, ought to take Pc
ru-na.
Those suffering from incurable die
eases would find life great deal
more pleasant and bearable by taking
Pe-ru.na according to directions on the
bottle.

lar medicine, entitled "The Ills OF

THE LAWS
PASSED BY THE TwENTY-THIRD LEG
IsLATURE ENUMERATED.
Four Of the Laws Ars in Accordance With
Platform Instructions = Treasury Will
Be Busted Flat When All Appro.
priations Are Met.

The volume containing the general
laws as passed by the Tweuty-third
Legislature has been issued, and for
the benefit of The STATESMAN read.
ers the following summary of the
laws passed by this body is made:
Direct tax bills l, hog law l, appro-
priatiOn bills 8, bills relative to asy.
lums 2, bills relative to the increasing
and diminishing jurisdiction OF county
courts of various counties 16, bills rel
alive to courts of civil appeals 6, spe-
cial road bills 5, special hide and ami
NAL inspection 2, special fish and
game law 8, district courts 81, special
school law l, special Bexar county
tax l, special subsidy railroad tax l,
Cisco relief l, validating town
charters two, special judges two,
Eastland county one. Besides these
Enumerated there are AZ other acts re-
corded which relate to matters as fol.
lows, ten have reference to practicing
in courts, court fees, pleadings and
jurisdiction; one extends time to rail-
roads, another extends for payment
on school lands. A bill relating to
local option and irrigation, is also
included in this number besides one
fixing butchers bonds. There are also
bills establishing labor day;to provide
for reecueing of girls from improper
custody; relative to railroad crossings;
to issue state bonds; adjustment of
ticket scalpers; live stock
sanitary commissions; one rela-
tive to mineral lands:
for redemption of land sold for taxes
to the state; extending scope of general
Incorporation act; requiring statement
of county finances; to protect trade.
marks; taxing telephones and other
corporations; prohibiting employing of
Pinkerton detectives. One about the
Spanish records; liquor tax; general
school bill; railroad profiles; county
ing land to be sold by administrators.
Ofthe bills passed four meet the plat
form requests. one prescribing the
modus operandl of issuing railroad
bonds, one for the issuing of city
bonds, one relating to county bonds
and one defining perpetuities.
In addition to the above, the appro.
priation bill when laid alongside the
surplus in the treasury makes the
casual thinker think very hard. By
a little G ance at the appropriation
bill it can readily be seen that the APP
preparations are in excess of the reve.
nue. just about $1,OOO,OOO. Thus from
this state of affairs the reader may
readily judge that the successor to the
chair of state two years from now will
doubtless find the treasury as dry as
a dusty lane and the millions of dol
lars of surplus 80 often boasted of a
thing of the past.

SPRECKELS MAKES WAR.

PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Both Royalists and Annexionists Are Anx'

the Suspense.

HONOLULU, June 10, per steamer
China, via San Francisco, June Co.
As each successive steamer from San
Francisco arrives at Honolulu bring
ing no news that Hawaii's affairs will
be soon settled by the United States,
the disappointment that permeates
the annexationists and royalists alike
grows generally. Both parties are
anxious to have the vital question of
stable government decided as soon as
possible. The long strain is beginning
to tell on both business and society.
Merchants are complaining of dull
times but hanging on hopefully, while
for the first time in Honolulu. social
lines are beginning to be- drawn, In
this small community politics has new
er heretofore interfered with social life.
The anticipated arrests of alleged dyn-
amite coDspirators have not yet been
made and may be the government

as at first thought

mish in his fight against The Star, the
annexationist organ Walter &.
Smith, editor of the paper, has been
held for trial to answer a charge oil
criminal libel. Smith was released on
$500 bail and is again running his
paper but letting Spieckels alone

Spreckels is now avowedly on the war
path against the provincial govern
ment.

Ii the bond for writ of error in the for
feiture case was filed before the bond
In question was executed, power re-
manned in the corporation to execute
1t and the affiImance of the judgment
OF forfeiture would not affect the rights
OF the parties, for until the affirmance
of the forfeiture, dissolution does not
take place. Neither the death of a
party or corporation, pending an ap-
peal or writ of error, would abate the
action in the appellate court. Ac-
cordiDg to the general rule the
power of corporation to act
ceases with its dissolution, but after

acts necessary to protect its interests
or to secure final decision upon the

appeal from the judgment of
forfeiture was perfected if
the power of the corporation
to prosecute an appeal after the rem
dition of that judgment be limited to
that, and power to make bonds in
other cases would not exist unless ap-
peal or writ of error in the forfeiture
case was first perfected, then the bond
in question would be valid by relation
even if executed before the perfecting

The following additional rule of
practice was adopted:
Rule 12-When any court of civil
appeals shall certify to this court any
question for determination, or shall
send to this court any cause upon
certificate of dissent, either upon its
own motion or that of any party, the
certificate in either case shall be &C
companied by the briefs filed in the
court of civil appeals, and the clerk
of this court shall, upon the receipt of
the briefs, issue notice to the attor-
neys whose names appear there on OF
the day on which the question or
cause, as the case may be, shall be set
down for submission.

FORT SCOTT, Kans., June 20 Ire
mont hotel in this city, collapsed this
morning $50 o'clock. without warn.
ing to the 100 occupants. The house
is four stories high, built of brick, and
the entire east wall ELL, followed W
three floors and all their load OF human
life and furniture. One girl, Essie
Colwell, Of Kincaid, Kansas, was TAX.
EN- from the debris badly hurt, but the
firemen and others who would
search for those supposed to
be buried, were prevented by officers
because of the jeopardy their lives
would be placed in by the standing
walls. Twenty-seven occupants have
been taken from the windows on the
west side by means of ladders and
others have escaped through the reg
ular exits. Ida Morgan was also taken
from the wreck seriously injured. She
fell from the fourth floor to the ground
and was buried under mass of beams
and brick. Almond Woodland, son of
the proprietor, was in the diningroom
when the crash came, but was not
fatally injured. The building split in
the middle. The fourth story and
mansard roof had just been added and
it is supposed the additional weight
was too heavy for the side walls and
foundation.

PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND.

On account of the appropriation of
the permanent school fund made by
the last Legislature, the custodians of
that fund have decided to make no
purchase of county bonds for the pres
ept. 1t will require 100000 of that
fund to meet the appropriation under
the Jester act, 100000 of it to be
loaned the penitentiary board for the
purchase of convict farms. After the
$500, 80 required has been accumu-
lated any excess can be invested in
county bonds. This delay will afford
relief to office assistant Attorney
General Bats, who is assigned the la
borious duty of Investigating the le-
gality of bonds offered for investment
of this fund.
